London, September 1.?The Times, of this morning, publishes further par? ticulars of the negotiations between the British Vice Admiral, Yelverton, and the Carthagena insurgents, in regard to the removal of the Spanish irou-chids Almanza and Victoria. Upon notice from the Admiral of his intention to take the vessels, the insurgents answer? ed, that the forts would open fire upon the British squadron if the attempt wus made. This was on the 28th. The ram Nuniaucia was brought to anchor at the entrance oi Eecombcrera Bay, within range of the Lord Warden, tho British flag-ship, and the two vessels lay with their broadsides towards each other. The Lord Warden carries eighteen guns and is an iron-plated' screw steamer of 4,080 tons. The Numancia is an iron? clad steamer, and oarries forty sixty eight pounders. On the 29th, Vice Ad? miral Yelverton replied, that he would allow forty hours for reconsideration, at the expiration of which time he would take the vessels. On the 30th, Senor Agualos communi? cated to Yice Admiral Yelverton the hope of the Junta that the affair might be amicably arranged. No later intelli? gence has been received from Cartha? gena, but it is believed that a compro? mise has been proposed, by which they should consent to the removal of the Almanza and Victoria, on condition that they be held at Gibraltar, under guar? antee from the British commander not to surrender them to the Spanish au? thorities, until the differences between the Madrid Government and the Junta of Carthagena is settled. There is little doubt that tho insurgents will attack the British fleet, if they attempt to remove the Spanish vessels without coming to some agreement. Madrid, September 1.?The members of the insurgent Junta at Oarthugeui, already reported arrested by Galvez. oue of their colleagues, are Suuvaile, the in? surgent Minister of Finanoe, aui Gen.

Sauvullo is chorged by Galvez with treaohery to the Junta, ana with having altered and falsified the communications of Vice Admiral Yelverton to tho Junta. It seeme that in tho beginning of the ufi'air with the British commander, Suuvulle was named by the Janta to carry on the negotiations on their behalf. TeUgrapliU-r?American Matter*.

To-day, Brown called un Alcott & Co., and wanted a loan on sixteen bonds. It was found gouuiue. The bond first purchased was similar in number to one of the bauds of the sixteen on which the loan was desired. Au examination was made and the disoovery made that the sixteen bonds were forgeries. The detectives then ascertained that Wooden Sherman, of Nu. 0 Nassau street, was eudeavoriug to negotiate n loan of 325,000 on 830,000 worth of New York Central stock, consolidated issue, with Thomas Deuny Sz Co., of Wall streat, for Mr. Brown.

Brown was taken to the central ofiicc aud lucked up. The detective further succeeded in recovering sixty-two forged bonds simi? lar to those found oa Brown from two tlrms, the names of which art; kept secret. The police say there aru 81, 000,000 of forged bond's ready to Hood Wall street, and that 8250,000 worth have already been.placed on the market. Astounding developments are looked for to-morrow.

It appears that Knightly, who had buou laboring under mental derangement for sums time, killed or caused the death of his sister, Adelaide, aged forty years, and his nephew, Louis Stobbs, set fire to the house, and then killed himself. The house occupied an isolated situation, and when the neighbors reached it, it was a mass of mine. The charred ro uiuius of Knightly were found near the window, with a partly burned shot-gun at his feet, and the bodies of his sister ami nephew near tho front door; but bo badiy charred that it could not be de? termined whether they had been killed by Kuightly or were bliftbeated.
