The Grtnt Yacht Kare -Bennett, Jr., Tri ti in i>liant. SOUTHAMPTON, December26- P.M. Tlic yacht Henrietta arrived at the Needles, off Cowes, at 5:45 last evening. Thc Fleetwing arrived at 2 this morning, and the Vesta at 3:30 this morning. \ Thc Board of Admiralty gave orders that every facility should he rendered the yachts by officers on duty in the English Channel. Cable Despatches? Panis*. December 25.-The Emperor Na? poleon accorded a reception, yesterday,to (relierai Dix, and said, in reply to assurance of good will, that he placed the highest value upon that country, and that ancient souvenirs of cordial feeling, together with mutual interest depending, were certain guarantees that pleasant relations would continue to exist. Gen. Dix was presented by the retiring Minister, Mr. Bigelow. PAMS, December 26.- -A coup ile etat in the .Spanish Government is said to bo im? minent. Tuc Queen is unable to select a ministry which, has the confidence either ot the pr? gressiouists or the Church party. ATHENS, December 20.-A report from Canea, the capital of Candia, by way of j .Syria, says that another battle had take n place between the Turks and the Creel; in? surgents, in which tho former wero defeat? ed, with heavy loss. FLORENCE, December 29.-Humors of a change in tho Italian Cabinet are entirely false. PARIS, December 29.-The French iron? clad ?eet is expected to leave Cherbourg, to-day, for Vera Cruz. Sew? Items. WASHINGTON, December 31.-The Chair-1 man of the House Committee on Territo? ries has prepared a bill, to introduce on the assembling of Congress, providing for thc reconstruction'of tho Southern States> The particulars have not ytt transpired.) The bill does not, however, propose to re? duce the Southern States to a Territorial condition. Tho Henry Chauncey, with San Fran? cisco dates to thc 10th," has arrived, and brings $0:10,118 in specie. Admiral Dablgren sailed from Panama, for Callao, on thu lGth. Matters were very quiet on the Isthmus* Mosquera continues his war against the Church, and has ordered further confisca? tion and sale of Church properly; also, ordered tho seizure of all war material crossing tho Isthmus for the Pacific Re? publics at war with Spain, lie has decreed neutrality, and gives liberty to both bel? ligerents to bring prizes into tho poi ts of the Republic for sale. No final decision has yet been arrived at regarding thc peace proposition of England and France. Peru still talks war. A minister from Chili had been sent to Lima to consult and advise. Tho following is a copy of a despatch from Marshal bazaine, dated City of Mexi? co, tiie 3d: "The Emperor Maximilian is still in Mexico, ai. I has not come to any decision with respect to hjs future movements. The evacuation of Mexico requiring to be com? pleted by tho month of March is urgent Transports should arrive without delay.". Late Foreign Sews. At a banquet given by citizens of ("owes, last evening, the hall was profusely deco? rated with British and United States Hags, and pictures of the contending yachts, while' the walls were hung round with friendly mottoes. Sir John Simon, M. P., presided at the entertainment. Details of the explosion at Oak's Colliery, NowBarnesley, show that 318 deaths had occurred-six having died out of eighteen rescued. A second explosion caused twenty eight more deaths; most of the latterbe i ig mining engineers and foremen of the neighboring eollerics. Two more explo? sions followed the same day, and the search was then suspended. Another ex? plosion Jiad occurred near New Castle,, Staffordshire, resulting in the loss of se? venty-four lives. Thc mission of Gen. Flourry, to Florence, refers.solely to the Roman question. Al! idea of tho Pope leaving Borne has been abandoned. The proposal by Austria for negatiations for commercial relations between that Go? vernment and the Zollverein, had received a favorable response from Prussia, and Vienna is suggested as thc place to hold them. A Constantinople telegram states that the French squadron has been put at the service of Turkey, to render the blockade of Candia inore effective. The Vienna Aresse says tho rupture of relations between Greece and Turkey is inevitable. There is g; eat agitation in the Ionian Islands, and disturbances arc re? ported in Cephalonia and bulgaria. These provinces are moving towards a revelation to sever from Turkey. On the 15th of November there was a fire at Hong Kong, destroying two hundred houses. Insurance only partial. EASTERN OPINI?N.-Tho paragraph below is from the Daily Union, print? ed ?it Manchester, New Hampshire: "The proposition to organize a ter? ritorial government for tho 'District of North Carolina,' looks more like tho apprentice-work of an amateur school district Congress than a real Congress of thc United States. It is hard to realize that anybody can be serious in such a work; and we still think it doubtful whether even Thad. Stevens really intends anything more than to intimidate that State and others into a compliance with his demands." General Butler's New York "apple speech" was extensively copied in the Trench press. La Prance made an editorial reference to its transla? tion, saying: "We publish General BuUer's address with tho omission of such words as would offend the the French car." Thc sugar in the basement of the ruins of the sugar house, at Portland, destroyed by lire on thc 1th of July last, is still burning. It costs a good deal to be -v^se, but it don't cost much to bo happy. COMMERCIAL. AND FINANCIAL. NEW YORK, December :;i Noon.-Gold 3:5.': exchange !> j: sight K); money 7. Flour steady.

FBANKFOKT, Dccombcr 31. -Bonds 76J. THE FINANCIAL Power OE SECT.E- ? TAKY MCCTJLLOCH.-But can he do it (return to specie payments)? It is doubtful. At the present timo Mr. McCulloch has but five or six hun? dred millions in the Treasury where? with to pay the interest on thc national debt and meet the current daily expenses of the Government. He will then be constrained for many clays, if not many months, to pay in paper tho expenses of tho Govern? ment. Besides the representatives of the Northern States, of the North? west and of Pennsylvania-pro? tectionist States who have made their fortune by the emission of paper money-will refuse, perhaps, as they have since 1861, to return to specie payment. Again, all the capitalists who have1 funds in the innumerable National Banks, established at the beginning of the war, know that, as far as they are concerned, ruin would be the result of a return to specie payments. These banks, in fact, have no need of specie to carry on their speculations; for they uso but paper money and yield magnificent dividends to their managers. Thus, at Philadelphia .ono of these banks has paid a dividend of twenty-two per cent., three others twenty per I cent., and others from seventeen to twelve per cent. Twenty-five of these banks have given annual divi I dends of thirteen per cent. These immense results would be impossible with a return to the old system that existed before the war, with specie for a base of operations, which then was not worth a premium of forty-two percent., ns it is to-day. It is-this which leads us to believe that the Specie payment plan announced by the Secretary of the Federal Treasury will for a long time to come; remain decreed but not fulfilled. [ Paris Patric, December 1. Mr. Darling's Special Committee for thc; investigation of frauds in thc Kevenuc Department has adjourned, to re-assemble at the Astor House, New York, after the holidays. De? velopments so far more than fulfill the promises of those who instigated the invstigation. The Committee has learned that gigantic frauds have been practiced in New York, and that Government officials are implicated. They have discovered fnat there arc over 3,000 small distilleries carried or in the city, in tho cellars and out? houses of private dwel'ings, where whiskey is made for the purpose ol evading the tax of 82 per gallon. Among 1 he witnesses examined were several copper-smiths, who testifier that the demand for such vessels a; are used for illicit distillation iu these private establishments has been un precedented during the past year Merchants testified that they bac purchased whiskey for $1.7" per gal lon, or twenty-five ceutsless than tin Govern meut tax, and the proprietor! of large distilleries told the Com mittel that they could not compete with tilt smugglers, and had in many instance: to suspend work entirely. The following canard is from tin re-lie-able Washington corresponden of the Cincinnati Gazette: "Tn view of the strength which tin movement for territorial government; is assuming, tho conservatives ari taking alarm, and have sent mes sengers and despatches into the Soutl to induce the Legislatures to ratify the amendment, promising imme diate admission. The argument tha the test oath will probably be se aside is also used; but as the tes oath was considered by all at the las session as much a part of the plan o restoration as the amendment itself if the Supreme Court shall set tin former aside, few in Congress wonk feel bound to admit the represents tives of the rebel States, even if al ratified the amendment." OVERTHROW OF TUE STATE GOVERN MENTS-SUMNER DEFEATED.-The fol lowing paragraph occurs in the Wash ington letter of the Baltimore Ga zette: "I feel authorized to-day to giv your readers some news of a vcr cheering character. The extrem measures of Mr. Sumner, having ii view the overthrow of the State Go vernments of thc ten un represente* States, and the other revolution?r; scheme of ignoring their existeuc by Act of Congress, in the matter o the constitutional amendment, hav both failed to receive such support a to justify even their presentation t tho action of a caucus of eithe House, much less of a joint caucus o both." -? -. THE TARIFF ANO FREE TRADE. The Committee of tho House o: Ways and Means have been iustrucl ed to inquire into the expediency e exempting from tariff duties timbe and lumber for ship building au firewood for steamers navigating th Northern lakes and rivers. The Nei England manufacturers aro anxiou for low rates of duty or for no dut on wool and Nova Scotia coal. These people arc sharp. They ar for free trade on tho raw materia which enters into their manufaetn ries, and for high duties upon all the manufacture. - - m * m ? Forney is furious at tho election o Custis Lee to a professorship in th Maryland Agricultural College. H declares him worse than Arnold, pro bably because Arnold betrayed th "rebels," while Lee didn't. A clergyman in Cincinnati ha preached twenty-seven barrels full o sermons. * -""--.-l-l IPWIIMI1I ? ll A PLAIN SUGGESTION.-Tho Wash? ington correspondent of tho New Orleans Crescent makes tho following suggestion : Let me suggest that it is impera? tively necessary for the protection of the material interests of the Southern States that one of thc Congressmen elect from each of those States should be present here during the session. The President is entirely at sea in the matter of Southern appointments, and so expressed himself, in sub stance. There is no official recom? mendation to the numerous applica? tions for office, from our State parti? cularly, and serious mistakes are therefore continually arising. An? other and mon* important matter concerns the details of legislation affecting Southern interests. Many of the tariff and revenue bills art drawn up in the departments, and thousands of money might bo saved to our planting and other resources, if somebody was here simply to make suggestions to thc officials in tin framing of the enactments and regir lations. Thc choice might be mad? among the members elect from eacl State, ami some active mau stationer here during every session. If thit was found incompatible with the dig nity of the members, a State agen might bc appointed, but my ex peri euee leads me to the opinion that : capable and trustworthy State agen can rarely be found. Some of tin Southern States have very good mei of that kind here, but Lonisiant has no official representative here a all. Is rr A YANKEE TRICK?-It is givei out-and, until thc arrival of Admira Goldsboro, will cause no little in terest-that the fellow arrested a Alexandria, Egypt, as John H. Sur ratt, one of the parties implicated ii the assassination of "Honest Oh Abe," is not the right man, and tha his passing himself oil* for that ob noxious individual was a ruse to gc home free of expense. The story is that a Bohemian went to Egypt, ex pecting to pay his expenses b writing for the press, but that his lei ters could hud na paper willing t pay for what was merely a transcrit, of the guide-books; so he ran out c funds, and was put to his wits' end to get home. He heard that Surrai had made his escape from Home, an he thought now was his chance. H gave it out, very confidentially, to loyal American, that he was the vcr identical Surratt, and, in two hour: he was in the hands of the Unite States consul, put aboard a ship r war, and is being brought home i the most agreeable manner, withoi expense. THE WORLD AND TUE YIKGIN; LEGISLATURE.-Members of the Vi ginia Legislature may at least trul say "the eyes of the world an; upc us." The New York World has i eye upon them, and throws out tl following nice little scheme for the consideration. The World, we fen is more anxious to corner the Pres dent than solicitous for the hom and dignity of Virginia: Would it not be well for thc Legi Iature of Virginia, or some otb State that has not yet acted on tl amendment, to make a respect!' request to Congress for explicit i formation. Let the Virginia (i some other) Legislature, on receivii the amendment, suspend acth thereon, and appoint a joint cot mitteo to prepare a respectful petiti? to Congress requesting informatit on these, two points: 1. Whether, in case Virginie, ra ges tho amendment, she will be en tied to the benefit of the Tenness precedent? 2. Whether the ratification of t amendment by three-fourths of t States will secure the immediate rt toration ol all the States to their ?; Federal privileges? -. ^> > Is ALABAMA A STATE OR A TERI Toity?-The question of the status tho Southern Staffs lately in rob lion is about to come before t United States Supreme Court for c 1 cisi?n. A man named Jordan w j recently brought before the Fedei Court sitting in Montgomery, Al on a charge of felony, and, havi been found guilty, was sentenced Judge Busteed to twenty-one yea imprisonment. His counsel have <. ter min ed to apply to tho Suprei Court for a writ of habeas corpus, the ground that Alabama is not State, but a territory, and as su Judge Busteed's District Court h no legal status. Thematter will th be brought fairly and squarely '.. f< the learned judges of our high judicial tribunal, and if they v meet the question openly and rene a plain decision, we may expeel solution of what is now a very conq plicated political subject. [New Vari- Herald, John Morrissey has disposed of '. interest in his famous up-town ft banking establishment in New Yo: and will for the future have no pei niary interest in thc gambling tra actions of that institution. It intimated that he will pursue a sir far course in reference to his Sara ga resort of a similar character, still owns the New York house which tho "bank" is located, whi is valued at $100,000. Mr. Morris declares his intention to cea; o connection, directly or indine! with gaming or gambling establii men ts of any sort, holding that st an example of morality is due fri any person holding an import; public office. TrtE CoL.LiK.ny EXPLOSIONS.-Tho ultimate effects of English colliery explosions is the subject of nn article iu the Philadelphia Ledger, winch says: "Coal miuing in England has been overdone, and there is little doubt that much capital now invested in it will seek new fields of labor. Our coal and iron mines will thus, from natural causes, draw both labor? ers and capitalists from Europe. The former, when here, often become the latter. There are mines owned in the interior of this State by men who worked in them years ago, and there are banks whose presidents formerly were coal miners.'' Camphell and Sherman appear to have gone to Mexico to see what they went there for.-Louisville Democrat. Gen. Sherman never went any? where without knowing what he ! went for.-Louisville Journal.
