RICHMOND, December 4.-In the Board of Trade to-day, thc question of specie payments was ros mm-d. Mr. Hastie, of Charleston, S. C., did not think this waa thc time for specie pay? ment. Tiic South was uot prepared ror lt, audit was to her cotton crop, he thought, that a re? sumption would at least bc due. It was better to walt ror this crop and thc general commerce or the country to bring thc currency to a good value. He offered a resolution to that effect. Ropes, of Posten; Trczcvant, of Memphis; Campbell, of New Jersey; Holton, of Wisconsin. Herbert, of Rainmore; Chlilendcn, of New York, and Cullen, of St. Louis, followed, and thc whole subject waa then referred to a committee or seven, to report at this session on all plans sub? mitted. Thc committee consists of Kirkland, of Rainmore; (.'bittenden, or New York; Ropes, or Reston; Hieb ards, or Chicago; Holton, of Wiscon? sin; Harper, of Cincinnati, aud Hastie, of Charles? ton. ? Thc following propositions were referred to this committee-. Ry Parr, or Raltlmorc, opposing expansion ot currency, and favoring legislation looking to contraction and early redemption; by On bb, of Philadelphia, affirming that thc estab? lishment by government of a chartered fiscal head and regulator, combining private capital and endowed with privileges sufficient, presents thc surest remedy for present currency evils; by Herbert, of Baltimore, to abrogate the throe-lintis credit balance reserves, to prohibit payment of Interest by national banks of creditor balances, to enforce redemption or national bank notes BO they may bc scut back lo their localities ror rc-ls auc, aud to require reserves to bc held in the re? spectivo bank vaults in money and not in credit balances in other national banks nt n distance, and finally a repeal of thc ten per cent, tax on the circulating issue of national banks. The tweniy-ninih proposition, asking Congress to require all American vessels under register to carry one or moro apprentices, BO as to secure a supply or efficient officers and seamen for our marine, was taken up and thc proposition adopted. The committee on thc propositions relative to tho Ohio and Mississippi Rivers reported, recom? mending that Congress make appropriations for rendering navigation of thc Oilier and Mississippi Hivers free of obstruction, especially at the Hcs Molncs and Rock Island Rapids; thal bridges over thwn rivers should have one span over tho chan? nel, four hundred feet long and sufficiently high not to obstruct navigation; that in bridges bulli over thc Mississippi, above thc mouth or thc Mis? souri, then- sh ni i bo one span three hundred feet long, and that tho construction of tho piers of such bridges be super intended by government en? gineers. Tho report waa received, to bc called up In Its turn. Tho twentieth proposition-thc James River mid Ranawlm Canal-wes taken up, with report of tho special committee on tho same, which sets forth that a continuous linc of water communica? tion between tho Mississippi River nnd thc Atlan? tic seaboard ls Imperatively needed; that the James River and Kan an ba Canal, if extended to tho Ohio, lias special prominence, and (hat In this work ull pr?valo and co-op'rate proprietorship should bc first removed, then government should grant aid; then, after the canal baa paid back \ tho money spent on lt by thc General Government Vnd Stale of virginia, lt shall bo free, the canal toi I colin g on tolls sufficient ror Rs repair.

McFarlund-Henry "Ward needi? er (?meintes-How McFarland Receiv? ed tile Announcement. To mond tho morality of a recent notorious .Soir 1= New York, Hymen has been Invoked. Mr. Richardson, os stated in our telegrams, was mar? ried just previous to his death to Mrs. McFarland by thc Rev. Henry Ward beecher. Mr. McFarland was unavoidably absent, or. perhaps, he might have forbidden thc bans. Indeed, how thc tlc was loosened which bound him to his wife and made her second marriage lawful, was a point upon which the New York papers express some very natural curiosity. Thc Tribune, however, treats thc disgraceful albur as legitimate and proper throughout, calling Mrs. McFarland by her malden name of Sage. Wc quote from Its account: TltE MARRIAGE IX THE SICK-ROOM. Thc unfavorable symptoms set in about ll o'clock yesterday forenoon, and carly in thc after? noon his physicians thought kt desirable that thc wishes expressed by both Mr. Richardson and Mrs. 8agc, and by their relatives and friends, for their marriage, should be no longer opposed, though heretofore, In view of thc necessity of keeping thc stillerer perfectly quiet, they thought it best that thc ceremony should bo postponed. Thc Rev. H. W. beecher-who had promised on Monday evening to hold himself In readiness, when called upon, to perform thc service-was accordingly sent for, and reached thc Astor House between 6 mid 0, In company with thc Rev. N. M. Field, D. I)., and thc Rev. O. II. Frothingham. Tho physicians were also In waiting, and after Mr. Richardson had been made as presentable and comfortable as circumstances would permit, thc clergy mon were ntl mit tt eil to thc sick cham? ber and stood by the bedside of thc murern-, while Mrs. Sage sat near, clasping thc right hun tl or thc patient, and thc numerous personal Mends and relatives present stood ot thc door and aronnd (he bcd. Thc marriage service then rollo wed. THE CEREMONY. Thc room of the sick man is on the first noor or thc Astor House, lt was nearly filled with wit? nesses. Thc doors and windows were oncn. Mr. ltlchnrdJon lay partially propped up by pillows. Though very weak, ho was not pale, and looked somewhat unshed. Mrs. McFarland occupied a chair at tho bend or thc bcd. Everything being In readiness, tho Rev. O. H. Frothingham opened thc services with prayer, after which Hie simple marriage ceremony of thc Congregational Church was performed by thc Rev. Henry Ward Rccchcr, as follows: Mr. Rccchcr (to Mr. Richardson.) Do you take tho woman whom you have by your side now, In this hour, standing near thc heavenly laud, and renew to her Hie pledges of your lover Do you give your heart to her. and your namer Is she, indore (tod, and before these witnesses, your be? loved, your honored, and your lawful wife ? Mr. Richardson (lu au audible and clear voice.) Yes. Mr. Rc?thcr (turning to Mrs. Sage.) And do you accept him as your head b> the Lord r And arc you now to him a wife sacv'jd and honored ; bearing his namer And will you love him to thc end of your llrer Mrs. Sage. I do, and will. Mr. beecher. Then by the authority given me by thc Church of Christ, I do pronounce you hus? band sud wire; and may thc blessing or Almighty Cod, thc Father, thc Son and thc Holy Spirit rest upon you and abide with you. Amen. Short and simple, thc ceremony was deeply im? pressive and affecting. At its close the ministers and Mends withdrew after uttering their silent congratulations aud sympathies. M'l'AIlI.ANn ON THE MARRIAOK. Thc Intelligence or the marriage was commu? nicated to McFarland last evening. He was lying in bcd In bis cell nt thc time, and lils informant, not wishing to make the announcement too ab? ruptly, asked him, after n few incidental remarks, "Have you heard the news concerning Richard? son this afternoon f" "No, I did not, except that I saw in thc News that bc was worse." "You did not hear of the ceremony 1" '.No I What ceremony V "Henry Ward beecher visited Mr. Richardson this afternoon, and-" "lt? married mi/triff}" "Mr. Richardson und Mrs. Sage were married." McFai land threw himself back on his pillow without uttering a wortl. After along pause, lils Informant grnvely asked. "Ho you think that ls hard?" "Yes, 1 do nitrite lt ls very hard,'' was the slow response. Nothing more was said on either side. TUE LATEST J. A It OR NE H'S. Important Labor Meeting In Washing? ton-Idea? on the Currency. It ls announced that following ihc Labor Convention or Colored Men, to meet in Washing? ton to-day, thc Advisory Hoard or the Exccutivo committee of the National Labor Union will come to Washington on the 3d of January, ami (remain i during tho session of Congress, with thc View of Innucnclng legislation upon financial questions. It will lie remembered that thc National Labor Congress which assembled in Philadelphia lost summer, adopted resolut lons la favor or n paper monetary system and tree banking. It ls under? stood that their views were embodied, to a great extent, lu tho bill introduced by the Hon. A. J. Kuy kendall, but have nineo been elaborated, and many details will bo added to said bill to secure thc more emelent working of their sys? tem. Thc committee having thia mcasuro in charge aie enthusiastic in Its support, and claim that a largo majority or lite people of tho West ls with them. They claim that it only needs discus? sion lo succeed. It is held that thu central Idea In our present monetary system is that lt gives Congress the power to control thc rato of interest on (ho national bonds, and by this means to regu? late lu all business transactions, and this Is tho only wny that thc value of money can be rege? lated. Thc law declaring that 23>/ grains gold shall bo a dollar does not regulate thc loanable value of money; it only fixes tho value of gold. Tho rate or Interest, ll ls claimed, determines the vallie or money and gives lt tho power to accu? mulate property or thc products or labor. The Worklngiiicn's Union favors tim payment of tho tivc-twcnly bonds In greenbacks, ac? cording to thc terms of thc original contract, and would have greenbacks substituted for thc na? tional bank currency. Distend of funding tho debt according to thc terms or tho Sherman bill, they would substitute Oem ral Huller's converti? ble bonds at low intere.it c hh li, lt ls assumed, would forever obviate ti f jarcity of money. In support of ttieae views the 'orces of the. new labor movement will be marshalled, and they aro al? ready very powerful.

A meeting of tho officers and members of the dur?rent trades orgiitil/.iitlous of New York was held on Thursday evening, and took action In favor of co-operation. Tho Carpenters' and Joiners' Union of Rrooklvn have introduced a now feature Into their associa? tion, to provide members and their families with medical aid, and In case of death a sum of $60 to bu paid lo tho member's representatives. During tho thirteen working days ending on tho 30th ult., tho Castle Carden Labor Ex? change found employment for 635 males and 412 females, nt wages averaging $12 60 a month for the former, and $0 60 for lite later. There wcro 1320 applicants for work, or 166 In excess of the tomi number of order* received from employers. Tho report of thu Second Union Co operativo Rullding Society of Now Yoik states that tho in? come for tho past twelve months amounted to $'?7,064. of Which sum $22,400 had been advanced lo eleven members for building purposes, and $?".440 had been returned to withdrawing mem? bers. Tho balanou In tho treasury is $841. This would give $333 as the.Incidental expenses of tho j society.

The Uncollected United States Direct Tax-Southern State Debtors-L, a n il Seizure* and Forfeitures. A Washington letter, dated December 2, to to thc Baltimore Sun, says: Thc uncollected portion of tho twenty million dollars of direct taxes apportioned to i he dur?r? ent Staten and Territories of thc Rotted Sates lu 1801 lo defray Hie expense* of thc government, aud thc real estate which was acquired tinder thc direct tax law of 18G2, with its amendments, ima becu a matter long neglected, and had begun to bc considered of little moment. Under thc pres? ent administration or thc Internal Revenue Ha? roun the matter is being thoroughly investigated, and thc proper importance attached to lt. Most all thc Northern States assumed thc pay? ment or lida tax and were allowed a deduction or a small per centum for so doing, in accordance with thc law. As stated by one or your corres? pondents a day or two ago, Hie tax lias been paid by the following : All thc New England States, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Minnesota, Colorado, Nevada, Utah, Washington, california, West Virginia and thc District or Columbia. Thc Southern States were In a state or Insurrection, and additional legislation was found necessary to provide tor thc collection of this tnx in these States. In June, 1X62, Congress provided a method or collection lu the Southern states, under the direction or the President or thc United States and Hie Secretary or the Treasury, na rast as protection could be given to the ofllcors charged with the duties of assessment and collection by thc military au? thorities, by levying upon thc lands against which lt wns provided thc tax should bc charged. In this way nearly half thc tax apportioned to thc eleven insurrectionary States was collected and thc remainder ls uncollected. In prosecuting this collection lt became neces? sary to sell Hie lands for non-payments of the tax, and thc United States became thc purchaser of a large amount In ?onie of thc Stales, and much or the same never having been redeemed, the titles have become absolutely vested In the Unit? d Slates. These lands, arnon ming, as ls supposed, lo seve? ral hundred thousand dollars, wcro being lost sight or, and the original owners have, lu many cases, taken possession or tho same, as thc gov? ernment was putting them to no usc whatever, except lu South Carolina and a few other excep? tions. This initiatory movement to ascertain what property belongs to tho United States, de? rived from thia source, la resulting In a develop? ment of facta which were hnrdlv anticipated. Most of these permanently forfeited lands, and improvements thereon, are situated In the States of Virginia, South Carolina, Florida and Ten? nessee. THE CARDIFF COLOSSUS. The Explodion of the Imposture-Proof of its Recent Origin-"Letter from Pro? fessor Marsh, of Yule College. Professor Marsh, of Yale College, writing from Rochester, N. Y., under dato of November 24, aaya of thc mysterious stone giant: Ry especial permission of thc proprietors I was allowed to make a more careful examination or thc statue than is permitted to most visitors, and a very few minutes audlccd to satisfy mo thal my first suspicions in regard to lt were correct, namely, Hint lt la of very recent origin, and a most decided humbug. Tho figure ls cut from a block of gypsum, simi? lar to that found in Onondaga County und al other localities of the Salina formation In tho siam fut thcr west. Thc peculiar position of tho body and limbs, which nos occasioned KO much remark-, was ap? parently determined In a great mensure l;y the form of Ibo block of stone, which was water-worn on at least three of Its aides, before tho sculptor began lils work. These rough water-worn sur faces were not entirely removed In cutting. Por? tions of them still remain on thc sides of t lie head and on tho Umba and feet, and have erroneously been regarded us Indicating for tho work a high antiquity. Tho tool marks arc still very distinct on differ? ent parts of tho statue, especially where they have not been obliterated by tho Imperfect polish? ing willoh evidently completed tuc work. On tito more prominent portions or nie figuro those marks appear aa small pointed depressions, but in tho less exposed places-, where tho polishing was moro carelessly dono, or omitted, they arc nearly as distict and fresh as when first cut. In several places they nro very near or Immediately surrounded by Ute water-worn nu rf aces (c. g., in the opening of tho right cnr.l aad therefore aro evidently of subsequent formation. Now, aa gypsum ls soluble In about four hun? dred pana of water, a very short exposure of thc stntuo lu tho locality at cardin* would mirnee to oblit?ralo all traces of tool-marks, and also to roughen tho polished surraccs; hut these aro both qnlto perfect, and heneo tho giant must bavo occn very recently burled where discovered. . * . Altogether, tho work la well calculated to impoio upon tho general publie; but 1 nm eur grlscd that any scientific observers should not ave nt once detected the unmistakable evidence agalnas- lu cntlquity.

Cnp'.aiu Allen, or the ship Scottish llridc, which arrived al New York on Sunday, brings lae latest intelligence from his murine sunkeship, ire captain having encountered lite mousier on thc '23d Instant, In latitude 33.10, longitude ?-L-0S. The remarkable feature or thc meeting was that thc old, familiar serpent, fifteen or twenty reel long, and as big around as a hogshead, waa accompanied by a iuvenile monster of thc sumo species, only about live reel in length. This meeting, as will bu seen by reference lo thc charts, wis on thc edge of the Ciuir Stream, about two lu.a ired miles orr Dela? ware Hay. Hut as Captain A'ten ls a credible wis ness, well knewu by thc slopping mcrchuutB or New York, aud everywhere conceded to be an lu iclllgcut mau, his own narrative of the singular meeting will bc read whit n.-cnter interest than any more studied accouut: CAPTAIN Ai-k/s . ls a thorough type ot un American skipper sharp, sm civil, muir and non ist-and has follow? ed thu ocean from boyhood? rising by lila own energy and merit from a ermin boy tn the com? mand or one of thc finest clipper ships sailing from New York. FIRST VlKW OK HIS SNAKE-HUP. Captain Allen says that <n thc 23d of this month, bc descended to his cabin after a fruit? less effort to get a meridian ouscrvutlon, thc sky belng too much overcasi. He was just about eat? ing bia dinner when lils second male descended the ciiidu stairs, and, In au excited manner, told bim his presence wafl required on deck. Think? ing thc ship had Borung aleak or that Bonic other dire mishap hud befallen them, he dropped thu tempting morsel before him and rushed up. When bc arrived on deck bc found thc crew as? sembled on thc starboard side of the vessel, look? ing with awo-Birlckcn countenances Into thc wa? ter. Not knowlug thc meaning or their strange conduct, he also went to thc ship's side, and a sight met lils eye thc memory of which will never fade. THE SERPENT ON BHCOND VIBW. The weather had bren thick and nasty all thc morning, thc heaven s heavily overcast threaten? ing to pour forth a deluge at any moment, mid thc wind blowing from "all quarters" nt once. Hut now there was a dead calm, sud thc surface or thc sea undisturbed by urippie. On approach? ing thc side or the vessel, thc captain, saw in the water beneath a monster suchas tic lind never Been before, ll was about twenty-live feet lu length, nnd proportionately thick; its head was very large and Hat, while at each side, on thc ex? treme edge, were set two bright, scintillating eyes, which, lie Bays, looked dangerous and wick? ed. Hs back was covered with large scales, like thc crocodile, about three Inches lu length, which hooked together nud formed an Inpouetrablc armor. Its belly was of tawny yellow color, and altogether hlilcous. It waa accompanied by a smaller specimen of HB own species, and may have been Hs offspring. This was but a row feet lu length, but lu shape nml color, closely resem? bled thc larger one. THE EFFECT UPON TUE BAILORS. All thc efforts of thc captain to have thc sailors make nome attempt to capture lt were abortive. They looked upon lt as something supernatural, and were not disposed to meddle with lt. Tho thing was about* four feel rrom thc vessel, was lying hut a row reel below thc surface of the water, and was easily discernible to all on board. Thc captain gave orders to have a boat lowered to attack the monster, but In the meantime the ut t cut luii of thc smaller one was called to the firesence of the vessel. It raised Its head a few neben above Hie sin lace, and then went toward Us larger friend, aud seemed to tell ll of thc cir? cumstance; but whatever transpired between them thc larger one raised its head na though to Investigate its surroundings, c d then, with nu easy motion lt dropped Into iho-coean. In disap? pearing, lt went head downward, and Its body described a circle like a hook, its tall rising out of tho water, which, thc captain says, tapered off to a sharp polut. THE s l'Oit M THAT FOLLOWED. Thc calm that lind beset the vessel In the morn lug now gave way to a strung northwest breeze, that as night closed around, burst Into a storm, accompanied by vivid Ugh!liing ami rolling thun? der. The ?hip was tossed about by the waves which ever and anon broke over her with relent? less fury, and during thc whole or this fearful night thc sailors would not go on deck without lanterns, BUCII was their rear or meeting thc mon? ster. Now and then they would go to the cap? tain and ask his opinion an thc probability or that occurrence: but bc being no wiser than themselves, would laugh at their tears, and bid them go to their work. About morning thc storm died away, but until the fellowing day, when they canto lu sight of land, tho brave men entertained an unexpressed dread of thc reap? pearance of the monster. TUE CAPTAIN'S THEORY. Captain Allen thinks that thc monster enme rrom thc regions or Florida, where lie has orten benni of similar creatures from other shipmas? ters, aud by following thc warm current of the Huir stream lt reached thc position where he round lt. In his opinion, lt ls a deep water animal; and he accounts for its appearance BO near the surface by the fact of thc dark day, and thc monster not knowing how high up he was. A S OTU ER.
