New York, Nov. 20— The failure of tho Guar ■dian Savings Bank Is attibated to the very recent 'withdrawal of SIW,OOO by a woman whose intimate Delations with the members of tho Ring have boon n matter of notoriety for a long time. When the managers of the institution saw tho approaching •crisis they applied to Tweed for help. He pro mised In the most solemn manner to protect it,but when tnc trial came ho coolly informed his friends he had not so much oe $lt),ooo, anil did not Know where ho could borrow a dollar. Those to whom he said this felt very sure ho had at least a mil lion of dollars in ready cash, which he could draw -at pleasure. Intelligent Jurors who know tho condition of the bank think the depositors will Tiltimitely be paid in full. Within a short time, Tweed and other, members of tho Ring who kept •deposits in the Guardian have withdrawn over $<500,000 from the Institution. It is notorious that Tweed has recently been converting his personal property, frequently at ruinous prices, into ready money, and those who know him have no doubt of his intention to flee the country. Tweed has stated that he knew nothing of tho af fairs of the concern, as he was not an active par ticipant in its administration; that his name and El;*s had been asked, as officers, to givo it popu larity. Ely admitted tbat he was Secretary, but professed to know nothing about tho bank’s af fairs. Apprehensions of runs on other savings* banks, ou account of tho suspension of throe or four of tbo number, seem groundless, as none of them have been drawn on to-day to 4 tho usual ex tent. HALL AND TWEED QUARREL. Major Hall and Tweed are reported to hare had a violent quarrel, Tweed accusing Trail of cowardice and treachery. Baying Hall how wants to abandon the friends who have made him, as ho abandoned the Republicans when they had noth' ing more to give him. Tweed Btlll declares ho is the only man of nerve in the entire Democratic party in this city. Tweed’s little game, Tho effort of Tweedtb reorganize Tammany is believed to bo an attempt to hide his intention to take flight. Those knowing Tweed say he is thoroughly aware ho is damned forever. LIBEL SUIT THREATENED, Henry C. Bowen threatens a suit against John Russell Young, of the Standard for publishing that Bowen has defrauded the Brooklyn Treasury out of large sums of money. Prominent attorneys talk of throwing Clarence Seward, over the bar because he surrendered the Fifk-Manstield correspondence to Sweeney, who has not destroyed it. since it contained damning evidence against himself and other Tammany members. CATACAZT’S case. Tho Journal Dc St, Petrrshin'g, offlclal Journal, publishes -a statement of tho disagreement be tween tho State Department and Catacazy, which possesses much importance as the first Russian version of the diplomatic quarrel. Tho Journal, among other things, says: Catacazy is, no doubt, himself very desirous to end promptly a mission which must be very painful to him, and the Imperial Cabinet has no motive to prolong it beyond tho limits of time es sentially necessary. Until then, wo are convinc ed that, as the Russian representative, he will receive tho regard due to tho position with which he Is Invested, and to the government of which he is tho official organ. Tho Federal Government has 100 strong a sentiment of its own dignity to dispense with tho diplomatic proprieties which it would certainly claim to have strictly observed in its own regard. However painful this incident may bo, it reduces itself to a ques tion purely personal. It docs nut effect the in terests of the two countries, or their mutual sen timents. Tbo voyage which tho Grand Duke un dertakes at this moment on the invitation of tho Federal Government, and tho hearty reception preparing for him in America, are conspicuous testimonies of the cordial relations of the two governments. The Catacazy ques tion is one which ought to be treated with propriety and reserve, and without either personal passion or prejudice. The American press docs not conform to tbe principal involun tarily. No doubt it treats the matter with an in discretion which may give it an irritating charac ter but happilv the decision remains on tbe calmer hands of the governments, and wo do not doubt for a moment that tho matter will bo set tled in a satisfactory manner by an amicable un derstanding.” MOKBT. Tbe stem interfered somewhat with business to-day. Tbe money market opened with liberal offerings on call at saß per cent, 7 per cent being asked at tbe bank and at some of tbe private banking establishments. Borrowers, however, were mostly accommodated at the lower rate. There is no pressure of paper lor discount at the bonks, and in tbe open market the best double-named posses at 7 l-2alo per cent.. There are no now or important feature in the currency: movement to and from this centre. Comparatively speaking, little Importance is attached to the Ring savings banks, for tbe reason that it has been expected from day to day since the exposure of the City Hell frauds. A run on the old and more favora bly known savings institutions is'not appre hended. GOLD was very weak. Tho opening price was IU 7-S, and tho decline was to ill s-8. The temper of speculation in tho room is still in favor of a lower.premium. The general opinion is that tho price will decline to about 110 1-3, and the reason for this is that there is more gold on the market than there is any uso for. Considerable apprehension is felt .as to the amount of coin which will be thrown out by tho government for the December settle ment of the |new loan, and while tbtq doubt there will be few transactions la tho room and no chance for tho bulls. The rates paid for carrying to-day were 1,11-2, and 2 per cent to flat for borrowing. THE GOVERNMENT BOND MARKET was not affected by the decline In gold. Tho market was steady to the close. Tho foreign bankers are buying for shipment, and great diffi eulty is found in filling round orders. Central Pacifies closed strong and in demand at 103 to 1031-4; Union Pacific, first mortgage, advanced to S2, [closing at 913-4 to 9178. Some purchases have been made for Amsterdam account. Union Pacific laud grants closed at 78 to 78 1-3; in «omes, 81 to 82; stock, 37 7-8 to 28. .rOBCZON XXCHAKOB was strong at 109 1-4 for prime sixty days* sterl ing, and 110 1-8 for sight, it'there should be a large balance la gold das the Syndicate in settle ment of the new loan, exchange might advance to 1101-2 for eight—the shipping point for transfer to Europe. STATE BONDS. South Carolina* and Tennessee* continue to be the declining stocks on the Southern list, and Vir ginia sixes are the reverse. The former touched SC 3-8 to-day, whieh is nearly 10 per cent decline aincc early last week. The bear operations in this stock are now fully controlling the market. THB STOCK XAKKBT was irregular until afternoon, when the heat prices [of the day were made. Hannibal St, Joseph was an exception.

New York, No. 19.—We are indebted to the Ttibutie for the following: “Tho Russian frigate 8 vtthmd entered the lower bay atnoonattended by the revenue cutter Northerner. Approaching the American squadron at the Horseshoe, she fired a national solute of twenty-one guns, which was responded to by the Congress, Severn, Iroquois, and Kansas, each vessel dipping her colors as she passed to her anchorage. The Grand Duke ap peared on deck, and bowed repeatedly to the solutes of the American officers. Admiral Rowan was received with all the honors on tho Svotlaud. The frigate mot a storm off Uatterus, which lasted until Friday.night, when an observation showed her to be forty miles off Capo May. A pilot was taken at 4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, off Barncgct. Tho vessel received no damage, and did not ship a sea. Alexis is dressed in tho simple uniform of n Lieutenant. Be is tall, strongly built, aud has the air of a gentleman; has a clear complexion, light hair ami whiskers, and blue eyes. He speaks English quite fliaontly, but app cars to prefer French. The Russian Minister, Catacazy, passed the afternoon on board the frigate, the guest of the Duke. New Yokk, Nor. so.— A rain-storm prevails this morning, which bids fair to last all day. It Is probable, therefore, that tho Grond Duke,a re ception will bo postponed. No reception formal ities were offered him yesterday, and he remain ed all day on board his vessel. All fleets which are i yet in tho lower hay will come up the harbor, led by the reception steamer Powell. Tho Russian flagships will be flanked by yachts of tho Now York Yacht Clubs. United States steamers will bring np the rear. Ail will bo decorated with Russian and American flags. When the Grand Duke is taken ou board the reception steamer, the whole fleet, together with all tho forts in the harbor, will fire salutes. A grand procession will escort him up Broadway. As he passes Trinity Church tho chimes will peal forth fho Russian national au them, followed by America." Flags and bunt ing will bo displayed from buildings on Broad way. New York, Nov. 20.— rt appears that tho Recep tion Committee of tho Grand Duke did not go to the lower bay in the steamer Mary Powell, but met the Russian fleet under the escort or tho American fleet. The Grand Duke accepted the public reception to-morrow, until which time bo remains on board the Svetlan d. ATTEMPTED HIGHWAY Rev. Job G.

Your own peace of mind, no doubt, will be enhanced by leaving tho office of Collector, but I doubt whether such course will, in any sense, bo of benetlt to tho public service.

He continued to enumerate tho various expenditures of royalty, showing that it costs at least one milUon of pounds a year, and probably much more.

Ho said, in conclusion: “Idoubtwhethor,if the charge to which I have alluded are aU weU founded, monarchy should not set its house in order.
