These marches wore unattended with anv danger; for on reacliing the plain on the 24th the army of the Prince Royal of Saxony re mained on the other side of the Meuse; and on the 25th itjretreatcd with loss, after hav- ing attacked Verdun with 10,000 men. (Ver dun was defended by its own National Guards; and the despatch aunouncingthe re pulse by them of the Saxon troops was read amid enthusiastic applause to the Legislative Body in tho sitting of the 37th of August, 1570.J This march on Metz, which some mili tary writers have characterized as amhtcious, was much less so than that undertaken be fore Sadowa by the second Prussian army (Prince Frederick Charles ami General Steiu metz) on the 20th of June,lßo6. passing by the defiles of Silesia in presence of the Austrian army, occupying the fortified towns of Komigsgratz and Josephstalt, from Ktcnig inhaf, resting on the Elbe. There everything was against the Prussians; in our case every thing was in our favor, for the passages of the Meuse to Verdun aud Charm* belonged to us. These same writers have ’profited by this circumstance to blame the Hank march of the Army of Chalons us being exceedingly dangerous in the presence of the enemy. But many occasions offer themselves in war when such marches arc advisable, if effected with promptitude, aud witli the precaution necessary under such circumstances. With out searching for illustrations further back than the reign of Frederick .the Great, was it not by a rapid flank march that this famous General mado his army cross the plain of Andeuheim, iu 1760, after leaving tbe camp of Langhen-Keicben baeb. in order to give battle tothe Austrians, and so occupv Torgau In 1707 it was by a flank march that this able General despatched his armv, in colums by lines to light aud win the battle of Lissa. Again, it was by a flank inarch, before tho Russian army, that Sedlitz, tho most renowned of Frederick’s Generals, conducted his army from the left to the right flank of the Russians atZormlorff, and drove thorn back with Ills cavalry. It is not my intention here to give an historical lecture on flank marches; and, without speaking of those executed bv tho greatest General of modern times—Napoleon I.—during the marches and counter-marches of his memorable campaign of 1814, I will enumerate another instance, which ap pears to me to have a certain analogy with what has just passed in IS7U. In 171*2. France, crushed by the victories of Prince Eugene and tho Coalition, saw the road to the capi tal open to the enemy. Its last army—that of Marshal de Villars—was discouraged; it was necessary to strike a severe blow in or der to save the kingdom. The genius of this great General conceived a plan the most au dacious and the most vigorous iu its execu tion that could be attempted for the welfare of the country. He carried Denain and the lines of Marcllieuu.es by a flank march during the night,, within but a short distance of the armv of Prince Eugene, and almost under the eyes of thePriucc himself. ’Hereis the opinion of Marshal Saxe on the operation, in wliuli, being then a vmy young otiicer, be took pm as Aid-de-C'amp to Prince Eugene Marshal de Villars would have been lost at the affair at Detrain bad Prince Eugene marched to meet bim when be. cross ed the Scheldt in bis presence by a Hank march.” It was, nevertheless, this Hank march—now characterized as imprudent— which saved France and the monarchy for Louis XIV. The capture of Hcuaia deprived the allies of all their stores, and compelled them t© raise the siege of the neighboring towns and cities, from which Marshal de Villars withdrew the troops of the garrisons to augment his own army. Was it not evident, moreover, that the great error committed at the com mencement of the campaign of ISTO was the scattering about, of tbo French troops op posed to the German masses It was. there-, lore, necessary to adopt a different system;! and, as it was evident that the Freneh army I had to encounter an army three times as numerous as itself, it was rational to search for means to bring together at one given point a compact mass, capable of lighting separately, and without disadvantage in numbers,"each separate army of the enemy. There was only one menus of attaining tins end. viz., the union of the armies of Chalons and Metz. In order to effect this it was necessary to deceive the enemy by quick and tills is what woljid have taken place in the event to which we allude. I have already explained that the Prince Ifoyal of Prusaia-t-miricd by a telegraphic despatch concerted with Marshal MacMahon—con tinued to march as far as Vitry-le-Francais. where be still remained on the morning ol the 20th, i. e., 33 leagues from Verdun, How ever diligent the Prince might have been, it was impossible that he could reach the Meuse, or the approaches to Verdun, by the 27th, or even the 30th. Then' were three lone days’marches, if there are added to the 9G tilomelr. b which separate tbps.- towns the natural obstacles presented by the country in the heights of the Meuse. The battle, which was inevitable on the 2»>th at the latest, could onl.v, therefore, have taken place, between the army of Marshal McMahon, 130,000 strong (supposing it even to have lost 15,001 men on the march), ami the army of the Prince of Saxony, which did not exceed 70,100 men; the combat ought to have taken place between Verdun Etain, in the direction of Briey. Two hypotheses present themselves here. If the Prussian army be fore Metz had attempted to go to the assist ance of that of the Prince of Saxony, it would have had in its rear the army of Mar shal Bazainc, which, on thel4th.loth.aud 18th bad sustained alouclhe attacks of the united Annies of Prussia and Saxony, and maintained its positions. The posi tion of these two Gorman unities between two French armies would have be come, therefore, critical; and n cheek inflict ed on the lirst—without a :afe line of re treat —would have changed the condition of things entirely. on tho contrary, tin army of Prince Frederick Charles hail con tinued to watch the Army of Metz, the Saxon army would no doubt have been defeated ai,’d*thrown hack on that of Mrtz. whin tin latter won hi have been compelled to retire and the junction would fl*ns Ijave beei effected. In explaining the details of tin march on Metz, as 1 submitted thou) to tin Council of Ministers, it was far from my iuteutiou to attempt to control the ope ration attempted to he effected in a Totally different manner hv Marshal Mae- Mahon. On the contrary, 1 am of opinion that it might have completely succeeded by defiles of the north; and lam confirmed in tim opinion by tho statement of a Saxon Colonel, who. on the £th of September, at Sedan, too, confessed to'a'friend of mine that the Saxon anuy sit one time believed itself] outflanked. I should aKoninh many critics were I say that tbo Prince of Saxonv lias spoken in a similar manner to one of the most honorable Generals in the iVeppli gnny, from whom I have the fact direct. It in uo part of my duty, nor is it my intention, to search the causes which contributed lathe ruin of a Plan conceived and executed by a Marshal ot ‘ranee whom the array, whoso entire confi dence and esteem he very, justly possesses, considers as a veritable Bayard, satis pair c Kau* rejtrochc. r A Xippwpi’J' Ki>l.

JIM PISE’S WABDBOHE, fiow the Hcrenno of Ihc Erie Railroad is Spent in Paris- From the Fashion Article or the American Register. A nave just had an opportunity of inspect ing tho wardrobe of a wealthy American lady, oclore all tup wonders of Parisian art and taste of which it was composed were packed up and sent to Liverpool, en route for Boston. Ihus provided, Mrs. J, F k, Jr., the lady. in question, may well aspire to bo the leader of fashion this coming winter. It would take up too much time anu space to proceed seri atim through the catalogue of novelties pur chased by this fair dame, and X shall there fore confine myself to a description of a few of them. There were India shawls of every description, one being elegantly wrought in gold, to say nothing of opera mantles; and house-sacks of the same material, with black, gray, scarlet, and white centres. A neglige du matin was made entirely of camelVliair shawls, trimmed with a wide silk fringe to match the various colors. Nothing was left out in the fur line; ermine, sable, seal-skin, sebonts. silver-squirrel, were made up in sacks, cloaks, mulls, and carriage bags for the’ feet, and to crown all there was an immense carriage blanket in Russian sable,, lined and quilted with white satin. The coachman’s cape and cud's were made of the same expensive fur. Tin* harness of tho lady’s equipage was also purchased in Paris, and is heavily gilt. No more superb turn-out will be scon in New York or Boston. Amongst tlie dresses I particularly admired a white satin dinner toilette, embroidered with massive bouquets and garlands of Uowera, and trimmed with point iaco tlounces. The tunic was also of lace, with pointed waist, which stylo tho wearer is said to prefer, as showing to the greatest advan tage her exquisite liguio. There were also dresses of seagreeu faille, embroidered with wreaths of wud flowers; of pearl gray silk (walking salt), trimmed with black velvet, with chapeau to match; a golden-brown faille, elegantly ornamented with chenille fringe, for a travelling costume; six black silks, long andshort, some trimmed with Val enciennes, line ns a cobweb, others adorned with beautiful Duchesse lace; a dozen ball dresses of every shade, made up most expen sively, yet in perfect taste and keeping. In fact, although every article of dress was sup plied in tho greatest profusion, all was select ed with so much taste and judgment that they were in perfect harmony. There were 12 comnlete sets of laces for trimming dresses, composed of point de Venise, point d'Augle terre, Duchesse, Valenciennes, MaUncs, etc., most of the designs having been made espe cially for this order. I saw two thread lace parasols, ono with nearl handle inlaid with gold, the other with gold ami garnet. There were also two point lace parasols, one mount ing being iu nacre and turquoise, the other iu coral, composed of ono solid piece, beauti fully carved iu largo figures, representing an old Neapolitan fable, ami probably the most remarkable work «f art ever executed for such a purpose. The faus were superb in de sign and finish, one being iu nacre, with the name of the fair owner in fine pearls on tho mounting. It was perhaps the most delicate and dainty of the collection, though many would perhaps prefer the massive gold mounting, set with precious stones, and u thread lace design representing u biblical story. There was also a delicious Watteau fan and a pompadour, but a Chinese fan with innumerable heads and figures clothed in sil ver tissue, wsis tho most unique affair of its kind ever imported. It is only used by tho most aristocratic celestials in the flowery laud Tho parures were, I need not say, magnifi cent; every gem being richly represented, the diamond solitaires alone amounting to an immense sum. The brooches, earrings, neck laces, or riviere, bracelets, comb, buttons, and stars of the same stones, were remarka ble for their size and beauty. The coral necklace was composed of twelve rows of large balls, each separate one being perfectly round and unblemished. The most artistic set, though making the least show, was a magnificent gold one, from a famous Homan house, designed expressly for ill's. F k, and not to bo repeated under live years. I shall not attempt u description of tiie linge rie; suffice it to saj*. that the renowned wardrobe of the ex-Empress. which all Paris went to see, did not surpass it iu any respect. Every article was furnished in two or three dozens, and loaded down with Valenciennes. The stockings, woven iu tho tiuest silk, looked Uko laity net some hud bauds of flowers beautifully embroidered to match the different toilettes, others were formed of nothing hut open work, requiring a flesh-col ored silk ono underneath. The Colonel's linen was also laid out ready for the packer. The shirts were made of the fluest texture, with elegantly embroidered designs, such as railroad cars, locomotives, steamboats, etc. There were largo quanti ties of silken hose, embroidered with de signs similar to those already noticed, and dozens of bat iso handkerchiefs, ornamented with delicate lines and exquisitely-wrought monograms. A last word to describe three morning dresses, completed for Mrs. F kat the last moment. One was a heavy whits rep silk, with Watteau plait in tho back, and of loose I sack form in front. Tho entire surface was covered with gold braid, laid on in a superb pattern of flowers and birds. Tho dress was lined with rose-colored satin and quilled. All around the edge and m> each side of the Watteau fold, was placed a wide hand of 1 sehoutz fur, tho same dark triro lining reaching high up around tho throat. The second one was a light 1 b)iie satin, empress form, also lined and quihml, but iu white silk. Around the jnpo was placed, a.ftafon, a deep fall of tho English 1 guipure, but dyed bine, to correspond with the shade of the robe. This is a now fashion, just about to bo launched by the great arbiter elegautiamm. This lace bas been made and worn during the past jrear, but it has never been dyed to match the toilets until now. A beautiful sea-green, and a I crimson Havana were employed to trim silks I of the same shade. 1 The third and last loihf de matin was made in black Cashmere, braided all over the entire drees, a heavy silk cord and tassel con fining it' to the figure. A riuh'quiUed UuuVg ofiuaise silk completed this most stylish neglige. The last, but by mj means the least, important feature of this waydrobe tyere flic gloves, which were multiform in design, and as varied in shfidee, ‘Extravagance of but tons, however, appears to bo the most mark ed innovation in this important portion of the toilet The King of Jmey-UoTT New Jersey Cot Outot the rnlted Ntatpq. From the Newark (N. J.) Courier. The origin of the allusion of iS'ew Jersey as a foreign country is said to ho as follows: After the downfall of the Fjrst Kiipolonn. ]ds brother Joseph, who had been Kingof Spain, and Ids nephew. Prince Murat, son of the King of Italy, sought refuge in this country, add brought much wealth with them.

The Bonnrd will case was again up before Surrogate Hutchings, in New fork, ouThiirs ilav afternoon, ami Dr. Clynier, of the Phila delphia Hospital, who has mgde n (mpplal stutlv of nervous 'difctftees; presented iJiipOr tant'evidence. The extravagant admiration of Boiiard for Mr, Bergh. nud his will giving sIOO,OOO to the society with the long onnin, were not, in the eyes of the doctor, cadence of mental weakness. In response to the onestiou, “Do you consider a man who be lieves in the transmigration ’of emits, and frcn«mitly expresses an omnidn that tno bodies or l»afes» into tye bodies mals, irra'ibnalr' the Doctor Bam: v*ot necessarily. For this reason; It is a bclici held bv many of the first ininds in the Trend in ancient and modem times. Pythagoras learned it from the Egyptians,* ■vyho are thought to he the first who believed in the immortality of the son}, and they behoved that being immortal, the soul, on leaving the man’s body, passed into other animals. Some hold it returned, purified, after thousands of years, to the human form. The Druidsof Franco, Britain, and Germany, held it. The Brahmins hold it, and the disciples of Four rierin France. Some of the Authors of tho Church—Origen, for instance—held it. Some theologians try to show from tho 9th chapter of John that it is tho doctrine of the New Testament, and some have held that the doc trine of Purgatory originated from it. Be sides, beliefs are held sometimes as mere metaphysical beliefs. There is a difference between religious conviction and tbe mere holding of a general belief on a subject. Some Christians think others who believe certain doctrines arc under a delusion; but a medical expert, without finding evidence of a delusion in a general way, would not bo warranted in saying such persons were labor ing under mental imsounoness,” And that was an eminently proper answer,damaging as it was to tho parties trying to break the will. Action of the Government in Relation to the Apache*—White Encroachment* on the Reservation*. Washington (Nov. 9) Despatch to the New lork _ Tluee. Tho formal orders necessary to carry out tho policy agreed upon at tho conference be tween the President; the Secretary of the In terior, and the Secretary of War in regard to the treatment of tho Arizona Indians nave been prepared. Tho Secretary of the rare; riorhas written a letter to tho President which recites tho details of the policy to be pursued, and asks to have orders scut to the military commanders instructing them as to the duties which will fall to them to perform. These instructions go from the President, through tho War Depart ment, and wore prepared by General Sherman. To-day the outline of the plan arranged for the suppression of Indian disorders in Ari zona. may be briefly drawn. It is believed that putting a stop to outrages by the Apaches is a matter of good administration alone. The orders given look to harmonious and united action by the military forces and tho agents of the Indian Office. General Crook is, in the first place, to circulate among both whites and Indians, a notice that the latter must go on their reservation; that tho gov ernment cannot .permit them longer to send their old men and women and children on to the reservations, to be fed and taken care of, while their young men go on the war,path; that all who go upon the reservations shall be protected and fed by the government to the full extent of its power, but those who stay away from the reservations, and commit murders and depredations, shall bo punished by the sol diers. The soldiers and agents will dissemi nate this notice as widely as possible, and give tho Indians an opportunity to comply with its requirements. It is sent among the whites also, that they may understand what tho government is doing, and bo deterred from attempting to imitate the Camp Grant massacre. The operations of all tho govern ment officers will bo directed to enforcing on both parties compliance with the terms of the notice. An army officer will be .appoint ed Superintendent at each reservation until the Interior Department is ready to take charge of the Indians. Superintendent Ben dell is directed by tbe Secretary of tbe Interior to have his headquarters with General Crook, and tho two are expected to confer and work together. If both persuasion and threats fail to induce tho warriors to accept tho terms of tho government, then General Crook will have an opportunity to engage in a vigorous campaign, in which he will not bo hampered or restrained and bis eflorts thwarted by the agents of the Peace Com mission, because they have consented in ad vance to the policy. It is hoped that, with the exercise of good judgment and a wise discretion by the officers of the government in the execution of their orders, Indian out rages in Arizona, at least,'may bo hereafter suspended. Tho white settlors near tho Indian territory seem determined* to steal the Indian lands. They seem possessed with the idea that speedy extermination surely awaits the red men, and that those who have secured lodg ment in their territory will do so to their profit. The various warnings given them by the Secretary of the Interior have not had the desired effect—to cause them to leave. It has come to this, that the preservation of the faith of tho goverumentwith tho Indians in tho interests of peace requires that those who settle upon Indian lands, contrary to treaty stipulations, shall be removed, and it is probable that a call will soon bo made upon the War Department to sec that their re moval is made. Cochise 8011 on the Wnr-Pnih-Colycr’n pence b Humbnjc* San Diego, Nor. 4.— ThcTucson Citizen has fh« following: The Eastern mail just arrived filings news thattlie Indians who killed Rich ard Barnes near Camp Bowie, on the Slat, were overtaken by Captain Russell, with twenty-sis troops, in Horscdlioo Canon, where an engagement of several hours’ dura tion occurred. At the first lire, a v citizen volunteer guide named Robert A. Whitney, was shot dead, ami in the light two soldiers were wounded, and two horses shot. The Indians were numerous and in a secure place among the rocks, and could not bo dislodged. Captain Russells report says the Indians were led by Cachiso, before reported as hav ing made peace. It now seems certain that Cachiso never went to Canada Alanjoso on any conditions whatever, but that some other Indian, in Ills name, did go, and deceived the over-anxious Colvcr agents. The eight Camp Grant In diana indicted for murder by the United States grand jury could not he found by the United States Deputy Marshals anywhere on the reservation, although they were there one day before these officers reached Camp Grant with warrants. More stock, stolen near this town since Colyer made his famous peace at Camp Grant, has.becn found at the latter place and bought of the Colyer Indians, and is now returned to the owners here. Such is the peace made for this people bv Colyer.

It will fie seen from the subjoined conversa tion that Mr. O’Couor did not confine the topic to the prospective flight of the Boss, but discussed, in a discursiyo manner, tho present aspect of the political battle-field generally; I find one of the mormug papers, Mr. O’Conor, refers rather openly to TweeijX flight, and which you will rememberyou and* 1 discussed somewhat reservedly the other morning.” Yes: I quite expect that you newspaper men.will denounce me, probably, and my legal associates, in a week or so, for not be ing more prompt and more decisive in our action against Tweed and others, and allow ing them, iu all probability, to leave tho country.” 41 Then there is really no disguise thrown over Tweed’s preparations for his departure, is there T” 44 1 don’t think there la any disguise hut what can bo seen through. Ho is, wo know, turning his property into available assets, and just taking all the preliminary steps that men take when they seek to cludo jus tice by flight to a foreign hind.” “But, surely, Mr. O’Conor,, there is some means that the law has at its disposal to prevent bo great a scandal resting upon its prerogative. To allow a man like Tweed to go of justice, would be a disgrace to those who have the power to put the law iu motion.” 44 Yes, that is precisely what I expect to hear and see published, only iu a more am plified form, very soon, when Tweed aud his associates have fled the country. But I think the public will see when our plans and legal actions are laid before them that wo have done right, and that we could not have done any tbingmore than wo have done.” “That is just where the difficulty is to the general public, who look at tho matter from the outside point of view. Tho public says of Mr. W. M. Tweed that it is just as easy to prevent him getting away as it is any ordi nary bank or bond thief who has been arrest ed as he walks tho gangway of some outward bound steamer.” 44 Yes; but Mr. Tweed is not an ordinary bank or bond thief.” But you have the police and detective force at your command the same as any other citizens, Mr. O’Couor.” “Wo nave; but the police force would not be very active in arresting Mr. Tweed even now. if we could give them the power, and would certainly not help us by informing us as to bis movements.” “Then you think Mr. Tweed will take his flight, as a matter of policy, and that there are not many impediments iu bis way if be chooses to do it I certainly do think so, and I am quite prepared for the temporary public indigna tion that will consequently arise. I don’t think that ho will bo the only prominent criminal that will go, either.” 44 Well, if bis flight is so inevitable, tbe next consideration is his bail. That is a million, I believe; shall you apply for its en largement V 1 “It is scarcely fair to ask me that. You will probably remember what was said in our papers when wo instituted tho civil pro ceedings against Tweed. Our papers snow that Tweed ought to have been held in a three millions and a half bail, but tbe Judge fixed it a a million. 1 don’t complain of the Judge’s decision in any waj*. No man that I am aware of in the history of the country was ever hold before in a million dollars bail, and a million dollars seemed sufficient to bold Tweed. I am afraid it will not b«.” “It seems almost a pity that you cannot bring the action of the United States Govern ment to bear in a case like this, Mr. O’Co nor.” “Asfar as that is concerned we cannot, but I am a Democrat* and oven if wc could 1 should bo opposed to bringing the United States Government in. lam disposed to think the government has interfered too much al ready.” “lam afraid it will always remain a last lug disgrace to this city, and bo very preju dicial m a moral point of view, if men who steal millions are allowed to got away from justice and luxuriate iu foreign lauds without any let or hindrance by the country they have so shamefully defrauded.” “Tweed will not be allowed to do th#t. Wherever bo may go in Europe he will kind that ho cannot remain with impunity. He will ho followed wherever the law can follow him.” “Is it not better to prevent his going. Mr. O'Conor?” Well, I am much more concerned about preserving intact and away from tho plunder of these thieves tho balance of tho City Treasury than I am about restitution aud punishing them. I would do both if we con, out if it is a choice as to tko two, 1 prefer tho former to the latter.” Fields, tho Corporation Attorney, whom you are prosecuting too, baa been admitted also to bail I see. I)o you think his election will be disputed on tho ground of fraud?” “Vcs, certainly. 1 understand Fields io greatly disappointed with bis majority as it is larger thmi' he wished it'*to bo. There is no doubt'that he has' Cheated Mr. Seymour out Of his election but it iH equally certain that Mr. Seymour, who will b»Vay;u valuable legislator, will the seht.” Vou don’t intend to dispute Fields* seat ou thp ground'of his Fire Departmeht frauds, I presume?’’ “No, hU seat will ho disputed on tho ground of fraud at the elections, of which I believe there is abundant proof. The civil suit is complete in every respect, and Fields’ fraud can bo assailed technically aud on its mei it«. I Hunk if the district had &b well watched as son;p 3* »hu ofltel* instnets, Fields could uot ba-vd gdt hmisclf counted in.” Q^i^ck. General FielilJMarsbal Bonedek died sud denly of fti\ apoplectic attack, ou the 2dtU nit., at Vienna. Ho was born in ISO 4, at Odenburg, in Hungary. After undergoing the usual course of training at the Military Academy of tfeustadt, ho entered tbo Aus trian Armv as a Cornet ir.ISS, and attained the ran* o* Colonel in IW3. 1 wo'ycafe later, hoeshl toted his great military talents during tho insurrection in Gnlhcia, which mi suc ceeding in completely queuing in the est. thereby enabling General Culhn to entry Vodgorze by assault, Ordered m 1547, at the head of tho regimenf Gyufci, io join the army in Italy, he took part lu tho memorable campaign of 184 S. under Radetz kv. distinguishing himself in the retreat from Milan, at Osone, and especially at the battle of Curtatouc, for which he roc*i\-$d iUo dcr of Maria Thcjesu. j'n* contributed tutyu lotluctibu of Moftara and to the vic toryJ of !?of art.’’After‘that he was trans ferred to Hungary, and was at Raab and Szegeupn. At lb c c losoo ft hi s' war hp passed, with the raiik of Chief of Staff, to the 1 Second Corps of the"Army if ItAly. Cur ing the war of Italian iu he was one of the few Apstp au Generals who exhibited any Very great military capacity. He covered the retreat from Milan to the Mincio.aud at the battle of Solfcrino he com manded the left wing of the Austrian Ar my, i which was the last to leave the field. He wail Governor of Hungary for a few mouths'* hi 11830. and, in viow of tho drificnl state of af t-airs ini Italy, he was soon after appointed to the chief edmmand of tho Austrian Army in that country. ‘During the brief but between Austria and Bmssia'in 1&0, General Bencdck was frdxti May 5 in command of the Army of theNorth.’ About the middle of Juno, he was in presence of the Prussian forces, and retreated as if to allure them to a favorable position for his army. At length the two armies confronted each other at Sadowa (July 81, and in that great battlo t wbigh lasted from 6 o’clock in the raqmlng lill 2'm the rile Atwpta wrees were com pletely doioatod. General Bencdck soon suf fered tho penalties of defeat. Ho was snoer seded in the command of the army bv the Archduke Albert, and, in October, 1860, he was put on the retired list, op (he Brinish Cooat* According to the ‘‘JlrUish Wreck Register, the number of ships lost or damaged on or within ten miles of the coast of the United Kingdom, iu the year 1870, was 1,865, repre senting a registered tonnage of upwards of 464,000, and managed by 16.343 mop and hoyg. The casimUiec in qumiictep put 1,503, as the cases of collision involved tWo of more vessels iu one calamity. Of tlio total ships lost, 1,553 Vhmced’fo Great Britaiii and its dependencies, and 271 to foreign countries. Of tho remaining 42. the nationality is unknown.

The total Josses in lb»0, bycasualities other than col lisions, were 111, of which CO were from de lects in tho ship or equipments, 77from care mssness or neglect, and the remainder from TiiM* ot ,He r causes, Tho “total number of imtifib ships totally lost on and-near the United Kingdom, from uusea ortmness, in the last ten. years is 528, aud {,l® aßlllti es resultiinriu partial damage from yamo cause are 586, iie\v York, how Jersey, and Vir ginia, and to vi greater extent in California. There Is consumed in the United States an nually about $0,000,000 worth of tin, worth SOOO or s*oo per ton. Hence it will uo seen, if a mountain of fin hS 3 been found in Utah, thu discovery is valuable a\most beyond es timate. The called the Star- of the West, ami’ a correspondent of tho Saora mdUtO rn(o«saysit U located about three miles from Ogdon, in a southerly direction from the town. The writer adds: “Sam ples of the ore were forwarded to Washington for an assay, apd returns have been received announcing that thcsamideo contained 61 per cent of tin. And with the gangno an average of 37 per cent. The mine appears to be a mountain of ore rpring with au alu'Qsi solidface of the mineral The iiopipany owning it have i bonded it to Governor Woods, Gould dr Son, i *»ud Hr. Gaff, of this city, for $101,500. of which $1,500 has been paid in cash.' The mine will be placed in the London market, L not so much for sale as to obtain-the necca sary capital to procure machinery for deyel- oping and working it.” As tbe government has ottered a bounty of $500,000 for the dis covery of a tin mice yielding a certain unmr bee or .tons of ore of a -ccrtala'value. It is strange that the Utah mines should be bonded for $101,500; however, tbojdiscovery may be all that is claimed for it. If so, it is worth millions of dollars instead of tbons sands. Washington .(Nov. to the New York It is certain that a systematic effort is being made to “bull”.the. Now York and other financial markets in the interests of the new so-called tin mines at Ogdon, the junction of the two Pacific Railroads in Utah. The tenor of letters affecting to bo private and of the recent press despatches received here leaves no doubt of the object- in viewv With refer ence to the hist report of the crucible and other test applied by Cornish miners and other experts, the Geologist of tbe General Land Office states*that ho recently tested some of the identical mineral referred to and pronounced against its claim to bo recognized as tin.
