Rio pEJAxEiRo, Brazil (via Galveston,Tex.), Nov. 18, (via Buexos Aynes, Nov. 18.) —[New York World Cable—Special to Tne Bee.]— The government’s forts have been bombazd- ing Fort Villegaignon with great vigor all day long. The government pretends to ex- pect tomorrow the war vessels B: hia, Tiradentes and Parahyba and another vessel bought in Argentina, and claims that the government squadron under Admiral Gon- zales will be able to capture the insurgent warships in port. To do this it is absolutely mecessary to silence (Villegaignon and that fortress was very badly used today. An insurgent torpedo boat fired several times into the city today, and sharpshooters replied from Gloria and Castle hill Mello feceives n Warning. Later a launch from the foreign figet was sent to Mello's flag ship, and it was inti- mated to him that this act of the insurgents wasa violation of the agrecment entered into by the foreign powers. The firing at the city was then stopped. at least tempo- rarily. ‘The insurgent fieet is now lying far away from the ports and also far from Nictheroy The insurgent batteries at Mecaugue con- tinue to bombard without merey the villages west of Nictheroy proper. Several houses were set on fire by shells during the day. The government forces continue to burn the {nsurgent warehouses at Armacoa. Peixoto’s \ forces mow occupy the top of the hill ana have mortars planted there, and the arse- nals at the foot of the hill. These batteries have again been shelling the rebel vessels Javary and Guanabar. Itobbed by Mello's Men, Peixoto's adherents declare the insurgent fleet guilty of piracy. They declare that noncombatants have been robbed by them of many thousand bags of corfeo and sugar and of a great many other articles of mer- chandise that have been sold and traded. Coal has also been taken, some from foreign warenouses. Bales of cotton and tobacco have been exchanged for chickens, fruit and barrals of flour. Many foreign enginecers, firemen and seamen, they also declare, have been pressed into the insurgent service. John Carew and other shippers of crews have been making, they allege, as well, a regular business of engaging seamen for the fusurgent fleet on a protense of unloading merchandise vessels. Once hived, it is said, they openly join the insurgents. A great number of federalists have lately joined Mello, among #thers ex-Captain Sat- urnino, formerly professor in the military school. o English Ofcers Sora, It is now given out that a number of the ofticers and sailors who were blown up in the great explosion of the msurgent powder magazine on Friday had gone to Governor's island for sand, with which to scrub the decks of the Inglish vessels. Peixoto’s ad- herents ridicule this story. The English are terrivly sore over the affair. Lieutenant Mowbray, one of the victims, was of a very rich family and the handsome mess service of the British flagship Sirius belongs to his family. An eyewitness of the sceneat Misercordia hospital, when Fort Villegaignon ficed on it day beforo yesterday,says the sisters of charity in churge had the bell rung for prayers and, aided by the orphan girls in their charge, chanted “Oremus Sorores,” thew voices rising above the whistling of grape shot and the roar of the cannon. PRINCE P O FOR EMPEROR, Mello Reported to ftave Played Iis Tramp Card in His Daring Game, Mapuip, Nov. 18.—A dispatch reccived at the foreign office here says that Admiral de Mello has proclaimed Prince Pedro emperor of Brazil, and not president of Brazil, asat tirst announced. Lasnox, Nov. 18,—The news of the procla- mation of Prince Pedro as emperor of Brazil is not yet confirmed, but the report is gener- ally believed here in view of Admiral do Mello's kunown strong wnonarchistic tenden- cles, Loxpox, Nov. 18.—The news received here from Madrid to the effect that Admiral de Mello has proclaimed Prince Pedro emperor of Brazil is much commented upon and con- firmation or denial of the report is auxiously exvected. The news, however, is generally accepted as being correct. 1t comes here from other sources in addition to the dis- pateh from Madrid, “Ihe Exchauge Telegraph company says that after Admiral de Mello had proclaimed Priuce Pedro as emperor ho put to sea with soveral of his ships in order to intercept President Peixoto's new transports, which are conveying supplies of men, ammunition and provisioas to the existing government at Rio de Janeiro, 1t is not believed, however, that the insurgent admiral 1s certain of in- tercepting the transports, as the point of debarkation of the munitions of war is be- lieved to have been kept a secret. A lett®r just veceived by & prominent Lon- don merchant say: “If de Mello is beaten st will be u heavy blow to British prestige. President Peixoto is mad with rage at for- eigners, and especially against the British. De Mello is inclined precisely the other way and constant friendly communications arve golog on between the French, Italiau and British war ships and Adwiral de Mello, while the Gerwan and American commanders hold aloof.” The Braalian minister here says that the Comtess d'Eu would have been empress under the old law of succession, as she had weverabdicated, and that Admirval de Mello's roclamatiou is void until she has done so. he minister adds that he has received no news whatever concerning the reported ~xgolamation of Priuce Pedro as emperor. SINGLE He has received advices to tha effect that Admiral de Mello was to sail north today on board the Aquidabam Slar on the United States. The Westminster (iazette expresses the opinion that Prince Pedro is on board Ad- Mello's flag-ship, and sws: “If . Mello can foree a landing and join the insurgents, advancing from the south and seize Rio, the republic will fizzle ingloriously.” The Ga- zette also thinks that the Brazilians favor the re-establishmentof a monarchy. adding: “What will the United States say as the republican protector of the continent? 1f Brazil sides with Prince Pedro. what can Cleveland do after the mess made by his predecessors in Chili? Mr. Clevaland, how- ever littlo Americans may like a monarchy in the new world, will be careful of the interests of the United States in Brazil, which are commercial and not sentimental.” The Brazilian minister also said that the engines of the Aquidaban were not good and that tho warship was unseaworthy, Shot by Order of Peixoto, A dispateh from Lisbon today says that & messenger who has arrived there from Bra- 2il announces that Senor Jose Patrinco, the editor of a newspaper, who has been contin- ually and strongly opposed to President Peixoto, has been shot by order of the presi- dent. The messenger adds that among the killed during tho recent fight in Brazil was Colonel Pedro Alfonso, commander of the cadets of Santa Cruz.

The young prince in- tended to enter the Austrian army and Count Blome was detailed by the Emperor Francis Joseph to his service. During August Count d'Eu was visited by two Bra- z1lian gentiemen, one Senor Menier, the other generally understood to be a represen- tative admiral of the nav, It was also common report among his intimates at the time that the visit of these two men had in view the planuning of the rebellion which has since broken out yand that large sums of ¢ then supplied for the purchase of munitions of war. moving spirit in all these negotiations, her husband apparently taking little part in them. Only a Boy. Prince Pedro, althougn 18 years old, looks much younger and showed no interest in public affairs, His left hand has been crip- pled from birth. He is of medium height, well built, with a fresh complexion and a hearty, boyish manner. At that time he was expected to enter in the autumn the military school at Wirer Neustadt, and he departéd for Vienna in company with'Count, Blome in September last. The conversation of the family was almost wholly on the ex- pectation of a speedy restoration of the em- pire in Brazil.

He said the proclama- tion of the empire was Mello's last mistake. It will be bad for him, as the nation is thor- oughly republican. Among those who sur- rounded Mello there are imperialists, but they ave few in number: “His proclamation will not be cause for action on the part of the United States un- Jess European powers intervene, but surely none are likely to?” Guadabara replied: “I am not so sure about that, Why do they maintain squad- rous at Rio unless contemplating some kind of action as to the Comte d’Eusson; he goes to Brazil to meet the same fate as did Ma milian in Mexico. We can put down the v volt ourselves without the help of any ono, Delegate Guadabara expressed full appre- ciation for the good will of the Herald for the Brazilian republic. KUY BARBOSA DOUBTS IT.

LoxpoN, Nov. 18.—[New York World Cable—Speciaito Tue Bee. | ~For the first time in many years, at least, a serious at- tack has been made on the eredit and man- agement of the Bank of England. As the World's dispatches since have shown, the disclosures wore so serious that the finan- cial writers of the entire London press,from the Times down, have not only discussed them freely, but have appealed to the di- rectors of the bank to make a full and exact statement of all the facts. Tho directors have not responded as yet, but a semi-official publication has been made that the late cashier, IFrank May has certainly been guiity of grave irregularities in the loans made to moribund trust compames, but not of actual fraud. It is said, also, on the same authority, that tho actual losses will not exceed §100,000. But renewed attention has been called to the heavy losses sustained by the bank from advances made in connection with the Murrietta liquidation. On the other hand it claums that considerable prefit accrued from the Baring brothers transactions. Caused a Drop In Shares. The result of all tis has marked down the price of the bank shares 4 per cent in the past few days. Today’s quotations aro 328 per 100 shares against last year. No doubt is now felt but that the first rumors, including those of complicity and the resignations of two directors, are much exaggerated, and the price of the shares has rallied in the past two days. The disclosures have, however, resulted in an agitation in influential circles for drastic reform in the constitution of the bank, par- ticularly in the appointment of a permanent chairman of recognized experience and at large salary, in place of the system of elect- ing a governor from the directors in rota- tion every two years. The directors now fill all vacancies in their number, therefor directorate is a self-perpetuating body. governor is paid only $10,000 a year, must practically give up all other business. No banker is eligible to the directory, and leading merchants often decline election be- cause of the interferenco that must hamper their own business when time to serve as governor comes avound. The proposed re- form mvst come from the directory, since the government cannot appoint a governor or chairman, WIIL Expose Spaculators. The recent developments will certainly hasten a full disclosure of the affairs of the Winchester House group of trustees, which has already been shown to have been en- gaged in the wildest speculations, result- ing in enormous losses. IKnglish trust com- panies are very different from American companies called by that name. They re- ceive no deposits and ave not subject to any governmental supervision. Their losses fall on shareholders ouly and such bunks as have made advances on those securities, These companies underwrote the shares of vavious brewery companies in the United States, on which tbe losses have already been very great and promise to be larger stitl, Bavrarp Syutw, BANK OF ENGLAND. Sketch of a Gigant tlou The Bank of England was founded in 1694, the prime object belng to assist the gover ment by lending it funds. Tt was constituted as u joint stock company, with n capital of £1,200,000, which was lent at 8 per cont inter- est to the government of Willlam and Mary, at that time In o state of embarrassmont. Its charter has been renewed at varlous. times, the last renewal having taken plaze in 1844, By the act of that year the bank was divided 1nto two departments, the Issue and tho bank ing. In the issue department the sole busiuess 1S 010 give out notos to the public. Bofor this time the govermment owed the bank £11,015,100, This sum was declared to bo a debt due to the Issue department and for the Issues of notes to that amount no gold 1s held. The bank was allowed to issuo additional notes on securities to a limit, which in Sep- tember, 1577, amounted o £5,184,900, and this without holding gold. The total amount which may thus be lssued Is £16,200,000. Notes above that sum can only be Issued in exchange for gold, ‘At the passage of the act of 1844 the limit of notes to be issued ugainst the government debt was fixe | at £14,000,000. The addition of the £1,750,000 is an extra issue, upon the profit of which the bank hus to account to the government, und also upon the £14,000,000 of government debt securitios, which at 8 per cent Is £420,000 yearly, But out of this the bank pays the government £180,000 for its privileges, The bank also makes & profit of £15,000 u year upon gold bulllon and forelgn coln, The amount of notes in the hands of the people averages £5,000,000. In Its banking department the Bank of England differs from all others n baving the management of the public debt and paying thoe dividends on it, For the management of this debt it recelves about £247,000 a year, agalnst which there are set charges amounting to £124,000, ‘The present capital of the bank is £14,558, 000.

The real facts of the case are that Iltaly, being no longer able Lo stand the burden of the - mili- tary expenditures which arc imposed on her by the terms of the Triple Alliance, has asked Germany and Austria to change the conditions of that compact and to allow her to reduce her army. Austria was delighted with the proposition, for she, too, is in a bad way financially and would also be‘glad to re- duce her military expenditures under the pretext that Europe’s most carnest desire is to live in peace and to diminish the possible chances for a war, Prospects of a’Pulitical Unlon. At the Monza 1nterview there was also under discussion the possibility of the mar- riago of the prince of Naples, the son of King Humbert and the heir to the Italian crown, The prince’s physicians ara still op- posed to his getting married, but polith reasons render it necessary. A great deal has been said apout uniting him to an Aus- trian archduchess of the younger branch of the Hapsburgs. The outlook for the winter is, therefore, most peaceful, for the Morocco affair will soon be arranged, or, rather, 1t will be patched up for o while, but diplomatists, however, consider that the peace of Kurope will always be in danger so long as the plans of England in regard to the coasts of Africa are not known.

Under Emporor William’s predecessors recruits were taken by regiments to the garrison churches and were sworn in by the regimental chaplain, On Thursday last, however, after reading his speech to the Reichstag the emperor from the first attended the proceedings per- sonally. Upon this occasion the emperor united the whole 15,000 men in the Lustgarten beneath the windows of the white hall of the castle where she members of the Reichstag had just listened to the kaiser's speech. Perhaps there is no connection between events, but people remark that the em- peror’s pointed injunction to the recruits, to the effect that it was their duty to protect bim against his enemies at home as well as abroad, was very significant, Work Cuat Out for the Relehstag, The fight in the Reichstag begins on Mon- day. ‘The commercial treaties with Spain, Servia and Roumania would of themselves bardly give occasion for the development of bitter feeling, but they move in that direc- tion.

The report pro- poses to establish a register of all the firms and persons doing business on time, This is to be periodically published in the Oficial Gazette, and failure to register will virtually make time bargains illegal. Tt is hoped that such a register will impair the credit of firms inaulging in time speculations, but as evasion of the proposed law is not difi- cult, it is thought the result of the proposed legislution would be to close business.

The prince’s atti- tude since his abdication has been most logical and correet toward Bulgaria, refusing steadily to join in any intrigue likely to dis- turb the peace of the country. The misfor- tunes of his romantic lifa were largely attributable to.the favor he fonnd during his youth, owing to his dashing dood looks, with the late czav of Russia and the Russian em- press, Marie Alexanderowna, which earned him the jealousy of the czar and his court, Cnuse of His Death, The prince contracted his real weakness, in consequenco of a perforation of the intes- tines, and an operation was impossible, owing to the position of the ulcer which caused death by exposure to the cold during the Servia-Bulgarian war.
