EVENING DISPATCH. NEW YOBK, December 21.-There is an increased demand for money to-day, comprising a few trans? actions at 6 per cont.; the bulk of the new busi? ness boing at 7. The supply of capital hero is large, and there is no real excuse for stringency, as Government is neither soiling gold nor drawing upon (ho National Banks. The decline in gold causes a feeling of distrust, which induces monej lenders to put up the rate to 7 per cent., and the Bears have been ondoavoring to absorb aa ranch a3 possible, so as to assist the downward movement.. Thore can bo no permanent stringency in tho money market in the presont dullness of trade and limited volume of speculation. In Wall street money may be kept closo at 7 percent, for a fow days by artificial means, but this state of affairs cannot last long in the present financial situation. Gold market closed at 133f, and the two extoenies of to-day were . 134$ and 1334. Foreign exchange continues dull, and there is a further decline iii rates. The supply cf bankors' bills is in excess cf the demand, and prime sterling is quoted at 108?@ 109 for 00 day bills, and 109J@109| for short sight. The decline m gold to-day exorcised a deoressing influence at the Produce Excbange, and there was a general decline in prices.

MAXIMILIAN has issued a proclamation, or rather manifesto, dated the 1st, from Orizaba. The fol? lowing is the manifesto: MEXICANS: Events of great magnitude, in con? nection with the welfare of your country, which were aggravated by domestic misfortunes, pro? duced in our minds the conviction that we ought to return to you the power which you had con? ferred upon ?B, but our councils of Ministers and State convoked oy us have deemed that the welfare of Mexico- still demanded om* permanency in power, and we have "considered it our duty to ac? cede to their representations, at the time apprising them of our intention to call together a national congress, on the amplest and most liberal basis, in which all parties are to participate, and this will determine if the empire is to continue for the fu? ture; and on its being so decided, to aid in the formation of laws virtually necessary for the con? solidation of the public institutions of the country. To this end our councils are^now occupied in sub? mitting to us proper measures, at the same tune, in order that all parties may assent in comino to an arrangement on that basis. In the meantime, Mexicans, rely ng on all of yon without exclusion of our political tendencies, we will do our utmost to follow up with courage and constancy the task of regeneration which you have confided to your compatriot. (Signed) ORIZABA, 1st December, 1868. ? RUSSIA ABD THE UNITED STATES. A Washington dispatch, dated Monday, says the President sent to the two Houses to-day a message containing the translation of a letter, dated Au? gust 17 last, addressed to him by his Majesty Al? exander, Emperor of Bussia, in reply to a joint resolution of Congress, approved on the 16th March, 1866, relative to the attempted assassina? tion of the Emperor, a certified copy of which was, in compliance with the request of Congress, for vrardod to his Majesty by the hands of Gustavus V. Fox, late Assistant Secretary of the Navy. The following is the letter: [Translation/] His Majesty the Emperor of Eussia to Hie Presi? dent oj the United States of America: PBTSBHOF, 17th August, 1866. ' I have received from the hands of Mr. Fox the resolution of the Congress of the United States ot. America on the occasion of the Providential grace of which 1 have been tho object. That mark of sympathy has moved me sonsibly. It is not alone personal.. It attests Once more the sentiments that bind the American nation to that of Bussia. The two peoples have no injuries to remember, but only good relations under all circumstances. Proofs of mutual benevolence are. added. These cordial relations aro as conducive to then* interests as to the good of civilization and humanity, and answer the designs. of Divine Providence, whose wil is peace and concord among'all nations. It give3 me a lively ploasnro to soe thos-3 ties con? stantly strengthened more and more. I have im? parted my sentiments ta Mr. Fox. ; I pray'.yourte be my interpreter to Congress and the American' Paoplo whom it represents. Tell them how much appreciate, and with me the whole of Bussia, the testimonies of friendship they havo given me, and and how happy I will bo to see the American na? tion gr:w in strength and prosperity by the union ?Ld canstant practice of the civil virtues that dis tinguish it. Accept at thc samo timo the assur? ance of the high consideration with which I am your good friend, ALEXANDER. CHOLERA. IN CONSTANTINOPLE. The following interesting letter lias been re? coiled at the Departmont of State : LEGATION OF TUE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ) CONSTANTINOPLE, November 15,1SG6. J Ron. W. IT. Seward, Secretary of State: Sm : I regret to bo obliged ?o announce the.re appearance of cholera at Constantinople. It broke out a few days- since af Artoponi, a neighboring village on tho Bosphorus, and out of twa ve cases in that locality, up to this dato, eight havo terminated fatally. Four caaos and two deaths havo also occurred at the arsenal on the Golden Horn, from whonce it extended itself, in tho summer of 18G5, over the whole city. One death of apoplctio cholera is roported from Bcbek. The disease at present threatens to take an epi? demic form. If it should become epidemical it must be very fatal, as tho winter bore is generally of a i-udo temperature, and much suffering exists iu consequence among the population, tho great bulk of which livo in miserable tenements, and arc scantily clad and ill-provided with the ne :e3saries of life.: It is to be hoped wc are not to witness a repetition of tho horrors of 1865, when 50,000 people were swept off in six weeks by this scourge of hu? manity. I am, sir, very respectfully your obedient ser'vt. E. JOY MORRIS. rHE PRESIDENT AND THE NORTH CAROLINA COM? MISSIONERS-GEN. SICKLES OVERRULED. We learn from tho Washington Republican, of the 20th, tho following information : The North CaroVna Co missioners had a long interview with President Johnson yesterday, who communicated to thom his dooision, both in re ? rd to tho order of Gen. Sickles and to the inter? ference of the officers of the Freedmon's Bureau in innuUing articles of indenturo in numerous cases ?vhere colored children had been bound out. On both points ? tho President decided that the sfficera were in error in interfering. Secretary Stanton issued instructions to Gen. Sickles, direct? us him to rescind bis orders prohibiting tho exe? cution of judicial orders inflicting corporeal pun shment. These instructions wore delivered to jrov. Worth, to be handed to Gen. Sick'es. General Howard also issuod and delivered to governor Worth orders to his subordinate officers ;0 coase any interference with tho laws of North Carolina when they bear equally upon the whites md blacks. " Judge Ruffin explained fully to General Howard ;he character of the law for binding out children. ; Cf orphans are without any property for their sup? port, they are bound out by order of the court; but children having parents living cannot be ap? prenticed except by the parents themselves. With ?his explanation, Gen. Howard did not hesitate to ssue the orders desired by the North Carolina Commissioners, who left last evening for home. Our New York Letter. [FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] NEW YORK, Deeember 19.-Yesterday afternoon, is yu ar "correspondent was comf ortably seated in me of the Third avenue cars, with thoughts in ;ent upon his boarding house dinner to be par? taken of at six o'clock, then near at hand, the car suddenly came to a halt, and remaining in this iialu quo position for an unusual length of time, ;ave evidence of the fact that something was wrong. On stepping out on the platform I per? ceived that there was confusion worse confounded, caused by the stoppage of the fiftieth car ahead. The noses of the horses of each car were close upon the rear platform of the one in front, and the line, like Macbeth's endless string of ghostly kings, seeming to stretch out to the crack of doom. Tho foremost car had been blockaded to make way for the engines, which, in their turn, were making the best of their way to tho great fire-the great fire, meanwhile, was fast malting way with the new Bowery Theatre. There was but little chance of getting onward,- except at a snail's space, and yet the passengers were loth to leave their seats; for in this good city no mau likes rashly to sacri? fice six cents which have been duly paid for a ride of as many miles. My duty as your faithful correspondent, however, demanded" the double sacrifice of small change and hot din? ner, and so behold me on on foot hurrying onward to the scene of the conflagration. It was a magnificent sight-the large building wrapped in the fiercely raging flames, and the gal? lant firemen battling in vam against the fiery element. Anon the blaze is less bright-the air grows denser, or rather the smoke does, as a tre? mendous crash proclaims that the roof has fallen im Soon, however, the smoke clears away, and the victorious flame shoots upwards in sublime grandeur, fighting up the city (for night had now set in) for miles and miles around. Now the walla reel and totter like a drunken giant, the heat is intense, and the dense crowd of spectators move off in a mass, foreseeing the approaching danger. A rumbling sound, at first dull and indistinct, Uko the far-off noise of a hu ge volcano-then louder, louder, louder still-the huge walls reel to and fro-the crowd looks on in breathless silence. See, it comes. A crash, a din, a loud report as of a thunderbolt, as it strikes a huge old forest oak, and the Walls are crumbling in ruins. The total loss, over and above insurance, is one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The theatre (with the ex? ception of the Academy of Music) was the largest in this city, and could seat comfortably four thou? sand five hundred persons. Sic transit gloria Bowery I The snow storm of which I wrote in my last was not a success. The snow fell heavily for several hours, hut the rain fell still more heavily for sev? eral hours more, and thus were tho hopes of the sleigh-riders turned into disappointment as the snow was transformed into slush-wherefore, on the following day, instead of sleighing there was slipping, and cursing and gnashing of teeth, and India rubber shoes m demand, instead of sleighs. On the same day that the gnashing of teeth was going on, the snow commenced to fall again, but the people were not to be deceived a second time, and so regarded the light fall with heavy and con? temptuous frowns, wherefore the clerk of the weather grew angry and let out the sun, which melted the snow still more, and made the streets of slush more slushy. . Dr. GUIDO FORMAN, a Sanitary Inspector of the Board of Health, is under trial for official mal? feasance-one LONARD, a highly respectable saus? age manufacturer, having brought against him a charge somewhat similar to that which CASSIUS found fault with BRUTOS for bringing against Lu crus PELLA. The sausage man accuses Dr. FUR MAN of "taking bribes," or rather of offering to take a bribe of three hundred dollars, in conside? ration of which he would forget to report said sausagemaker's premises as a nuisance. Other charges of a like nature have been brought against the honest doctor, who will have to disprove them or take the consequences. MAX MARBTZBK has brought au achura against the Sunday Mercury for libel, laying tho damages at twonty thousand dollars. One of the witnesses testifies that the Mercury mau sent a message to the Opera Sing that if the latter did not advertiso in the Mercury ho would soon haye the pleasure of reading articles therein that would ruin him and his operatic performances at the Academy of Music The articles were duly written, wherefore the suit for libel now under trial at the Superior Court. - ?' T.je sermons on the "naked truth," which have' boen preached against: the "Black Crook," and made the pantomime draw still better, had such an effect upon MARE: Surra, the moral manager of the New York Theatre, that in order to make the "Black Crook" draw less, he lias produced at his (theatre the fairy spectacle of ' Cinderella," in t?bjch the billet girls appear in costumes perhaps more ree -iiavish than m the rival naughty play. This is on the principle of tho trave ler on a Mississippi River steamer, who, being mistaken fer a Mininer of the Gospel, nd requested by some pious ladies aboard to break a faro bank by his persuasions, left them and retur od in an hour from the tiger's den to tell thea that he hud broken up the bank, omitting to add, however, by what kind of persuasion the result had been achioved. From the spectacle now on exhibition at MASS SMITH'S temple of moraity,. wo learn that the young ladies who attondod the ba:l to which little Cinderella got a ticket of admission, through the magic arts of tho goo 1 old fairy, were clad in garments that were beautifully in want of material. FBANCISCO VIELE, who was the principal witnoss against GONZALES and PELLICTEB who were tried, convicted, se-toncod and executed for tho murder of tho Spaniard.. JOSE GARCIA OTERO, is now on trial for the same offence, and will probably bo convicted, as there is hardly a doubt but that VIELE was the doepest dyed villain of tho three, at least if we may attach credit to the dying con? fession of those two who have already gone to their account. The people here express great satisfaction at the report of the Seuato Committee in favor of the underground railways so long, talked of and so much needed in our overcrowded thoroughfares. As soon as che Legislature takes action thereon the work will be promptly begun and speedily pushed through. EISTOBI makes her re-appearance here on the 28th inst; '-Zampa" to-night at Winter Garden; GEORGE JOBDAN at the Olympic; ''Naked Truths'' at NIBLO'S and the New York; Classic Concert at STEINWAY'S Hall; JAMES MELVILLE at the New York Circus; these and a hundred more places wherein to get rid of superfluous cash, and all of them doing moro business than the merchants with large stocks of goods at high prices and slow sales. ?_^OTJLTHLE. THE SOUTH CAROIiINA CONFERENCE OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. PBOCEEDJQ?GS OF THE SECOND DAY. [FRCM OXTB SPECIAL BEPOBTEB.] MABION COURT HOUSE, S. C. December 21.-Con? ference was opened with religious services by Eev. Dr. A. M. Sarpp. Eev. Dr. MYERS, of tho Georgia Conference, wa3 introduced, and read a communication in refer? ence to tho publication of the Southern, Clo-istian Advocate, formerly published in Charleston, now in Macon, Ga., as the joint organ of tho South Carolina, Georgia and Florida Conferences. His communication was referred to a Committee of one fro - each Presiding Elder's District. A communication was read from Eev. A. H. BED? FORD, agent of tho Publishing House, Nashville; also, one from Dr. SUMMEBS, Book Editor, both of which were referred to the Committee on Periodi? cals. During tho examination of character, which oc? cupied most of the day, the following changes were made: A. W. MOOEE was located at his own request; F. M. MOBGAN was granted a supernu? merary relation; I. P. HUGHES was located for want of acceptability. SAMUEL LANDEB and JOHN ATTAWAY, having been in the ministry two years and passed creditably as to moral character and literary attainments, were charged and examined by the Bishop before tho Conference to personal experience and pur? pose, preparatory to ordination to deacon ; orders and received bato full connection. An af ternoon session was held, but devoted to business unsnteresting to the general reader. ; The wind turned to the north yesterday, morn- | ! ing, and the weather is quite cool this morning. "Botlerlzlng" Extraordinary. The New York Herald publishes the following telegram, dated Boston, December 17, in its issue of Wednesday : The removal of Adjutant-General Schouler bids fair to create a sensation, it being certain now that General Butler was the cause. The letLer from the Governor of tho State announcing to Adjutant-General Schouler bis removal, was dated on Friday last, and gave a.3 a reason Schouler's opposition to General Butler's nomination for Congress. The letter, it is understood, will soon be pubhshed, in connection with other matters concerning, it is reported, certain profitable cotton speculations while the General was in command at Fortress Monroe. The decision that was arrived at by the court martial upon these alleged specu? lations, it is held, was reversed by the payment of a heavy per centage of the profits. It is aUo al? leged that official papora-were ante-dated after General Butler's removal; but even the above does not include all the charges upon tho black list that has been prepared, and which is threat? ened to be pubhshed. There is also included in tho charges au allegation that a very large sum of money was placed in a bank in Paris at the time these speculations were in nrogress- The whole af? fair wears a most damaging aspect, and the par? ties who hold the official documents will not scru? ple at all about making them public. The Dayton (Ohio) Empire, of last week, makes, editorially, the following statement: But a few days since we were assured, by a very respectable and intelligent gentleman, a citizen of New Haven, Connecticut, that there are now bang? ing on the walls of "Beast" Butler, at Lowell, two magnificent pictures-"Christ on the Cross" and "Mary at the Sepulchre," we think-painted, evi? dently, by some great master, which are certf-nly of $1000 value each. They were plundered from one of the elegant mansions of New Orleans-the mansion of one of the wealthiest gentlemen of fcht South-which Butler confiscated and appropriated to headquarters purposes, and as a receptacle of stolen goods. Our informant was a correspondent at New Orleans when these pictures were shipped, and saw them on the vessel in the harbor. VENTILATION OF THE FEDERAL CAPITOL.-The ventilation of the Capitol at Washington is artifi? cial. The air is forced into the apartments by im? mense steam fans. The Scientific American says: The fan for the Senate Chamber is 14 feet in diameter, weighing 6536 pounds, and driven by a 16-horse engine, running from 30 to 60 revolutions per minute. At tho lowest rate this delivers into the Senate Chamber 30,000 cubic feet of air per minute, being 20 cubic feet per minute for each one of 1500 persons. The Hall of Representatives has a fan 16 feet in diameter, weighing 9050 pounds, and driven by an engine of 30-horse power. This fan can be run up to 80 turns per minute, delivering 100,000 cubic feet of air per minute, equal to entirely filling the hall every five minutes. In whiter one-half this capacity is exer? cised. The other two fans, for the committee rooms, offices and corridors, are each 14 feet in diameter, weighing over 5000 pounds, and can be run to 60 revolutions. Driven each by a 16-horse power en? gine. In summer the air which is delivered to the building is cooled and hydrated by coming in con? tact with water faning in a shower, similar to the means employed in low-pressure engines for con? densing steam. The same principle, or something similar, will probably be adopted lio moisten the air used in winter for the double purposes of heat? ing and ventilating. We hope, with all this apparatus, Congress will manage to keep cool hereafter. DEATH OF A VENERABLE BARBI,-The doath of a romarkablo rabbi of the Jewish Church of Germany is announced. M. Frank was a native of Wilna, born in the year 1758, so that he had attained his ono hundred and eighth year. At that advanced ' period of fifo he was without any of tho infirmities of old age; his hearing was perfect; he read with? out spectacles, and took long walks np to the last week of his fife. THE ROYAL CHTLDEEN.-Prince Arthur having now reached his sixteenth year, Queen Victoria has dotormincd that he shall enter the: Boyal Military Academy at Woolwich, as a gentleman cadet. The Prince of Wales is a General in the army and Colonel of the Tenth Hussars. Prince Alfred is a Captain in tho navy; and it is intended that Prince Arthur shall bo prepared for a commission in either the engineers or artillery.
