IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.) WASHINGTON, Friday, Oot. 27, 1871. TO AN ADMIRALTY COURT—HOW THE GOV The action of the Spanish Government in reference to the steamer Hornet is to be discussed In a peaceful man ner, propdeitions having been made to our Government by the Spanish authorities to refer the matter to an admiralty Sony which is to decide the eharacter of the Horvet, and sottle the question ne to whether she is a yitatieal craft, as alleged. An influential member of our abinet declored that, in bis opinion, Bpmn committed a wrong in making demonstrations toward eapturing the Hornet, but the proposed plan of solving the difficulty Presuiits the most appropriate way of adjusting the ubles growing out of such action. The subject Was alluded to in Cabinet to-day, but the Government has not decided whether it will accept the proposition for a ret tiement of thas character, but it is Wt ee however, that the project meets with general favor. The discovery of frequent irregularities in the office of the Second Anditor fs spoken of with some astonishment hy public officers, and it is not improbable that Mr. French will be removed. There has been for more than a year a strong effort to obtain his removal, as it is thought he is not an efficient officer, but the effort has thus far failed, The same effort was made during his service under President Johnson, when his oflice was overhanled somewhat hy a Committee of Congress. The fact that a large portion of the business of the oflice, such a8 paymasters’ accounts, ete., are four years be Lind, 1s not regarded as favorable to the Auditor's busi ness capacity. It 18 also thought there ought to be a change in the Paymaster-General's office, It is inti mated that other frauds beside those ot Hodge, Stokes, and Powell will be made public within a short time 1n connection with bounties, It appears that Auditor French was ignorant that any frauds had occurred until after the arrests. The investigation by the United States Court of Claims into the various clans against the United States for cot ton seized by Government officers during the Rebellion, brings out some remarkable developments, which tend to throw additional light on the mystery which has sur rounded the sale of cotton by the Government agents shortly after it wag seized from the Rebels during the war. The Gavernment realized from the sale about §30, 000,000, but the examinations of the Government agents’ hooks and other evidence, which has been obtained through the prosecution of these claims, reveals the fact that the cotton was worth over twice that amonnt. It 4PNeATS that some of the agents at New-York disposed of the cotton at 20 cents a pound, when its market valne at the time of the sales was 75 cents per pound. Some of the agents appear to have been fu collusion with the purchasers, and the poorest kinds of cotton were shown as samples of the entire lot hield by the Government, the bidders get ting it by this arrangement at the low figure of 29 cents per pound, and subsequently selling it at the market price, thereby securing a handsome profit. The claimants, however, refuse to hase their claims at a figure less than its market value at the titue of the sale, and it is feared that the Government will, in refunding the money for these cotton seizures, be a considerable loser, especinlly now that the British claimants stand a chance, before the Mixed Commission, of being allowed some compensa tion for these losses. It i8 now known at the Treasury that several of these cotton agents defrauded the Gov ernment out of large amounts of money. The accounts show this, but what steps thie United States will take to recover its just dues have not been decided upon. A gentleman here, who has made himself thoroughly acquainted with the operations and character of the In ternational Workingmen's Association, states that the horrible story set afloat by The Chicago Times, charging that the great fire was the work of incendiaries belong ing to that powerful Association, declares that {ts utter falsehood is shown by the misstatements it makes of facts, which are easily accessible to an inquirer. It is stated that the International Society was organized in France, just before the Napoleonic coup d' elat, that its headqualters are in Paris, and that it is a secret, oath Pad association. Each one of these statements is un true. The International Society was organized in Lon don during September, 1564, by a public meeting, held in St. Martin's Huil. Its General Council has always sat aud still sits in London. The place of ite meeting is well known, and the London dailies frequently repori the proceedings of its stated meetings. The Iuternational 18 not a secret organiza tion. On the contrary, all such gocieties are FeTudisted and at a 1ecent conference of its European leaders, held in London sone four weeks ago, the chef discussion had was over a rule repndinting ail such affiliations, Karl Marx being the leading sperker in opposition. The rule was adopted unanimously. No oath was ever exacted, the only obligation asked being adherence to the pro gramme of principles laid down by iis Geneva Congress, beld in 1866. There were two German sectious, com posed wainly of mechanics, whose organization was also wbhe. re Cooke Co. telegraphed Treasurer Spinner to day, asking why Le ha not transmitted the interest on the new joan.

It is known here that the reports concerning his alle ged des titution were entirely without foundaiion, inasmuch as he received full pay as prigudier-Geueral, and Lad a bandsowe income beside.” Gen. Robert Anderson, whose death ir 80 unexpectedly announced, was born in Kentucky, and entered the West Point Military Academy in 1821. He joined the First Artillery in 1825, as Brevet Second Lieutenant, but was transferred to Becond Artiliery in the same year. He was Acting Inspector General of the Illinois Volunteers in the Black Hawk war” from May to October, 1832. During the succeeding 20 years he re ceived promotion orn several occasions, attaining the rank of Captain in 1841, which Was accorded to him for gallant conduct in the Florida war. About this time he publighed a translation of the Freuch system of artillery tactics. He served in the Mexican war, and was re warded with the grade of Major for gallant and meri torious conduct in the battle of El Molino del Rey, in which be was severely wounded. At and immediately preceding the outbreak of the Rebellion, Major Anderson, wita a mere handrul of Federal troops, watched rather than garrisoned the forts in Charleston harbor, having his headquarters in Fort Moultrie. Deeming that fogs vutenuble, Major Anderson transferred his cntire commaud to Fort Bum ter, during the night of April 26, taking with them, all the provisions, munitions, ete. that could be conveniently transported. The removal was effected by means of two schooners, which made several trips during the night, passing directly by the harbor guardboat Nina, and affecting no concealment. The news of this move ment roused the to the eonscious ness of sypunthing The secessionists us sailed ti: as “gross breach of faith,” while in be loyal is was hailed as an act of judi cious attitude and un Jaltering loyalty of Anderson during the suc oceding dar. soon brought matters to a crisis.

Loxvox, Friday, Oct. 27, 1871 Thirty of the 33 men who were in the mine at Seaham, where the explosion occurred yesterday, are dead. The pit is on fire, and another explosion is feared.

A TINT TO FRANCE TO PAY UP, BERNE, Friday, Oct. 27, 1871. It is announced that the French Government yet owes to the 8Bwise Confederation 2,500,000 francs, ex pended by the latter in the maintenance of Gen. Bour baki's army while interned in Switzerland, Miss Nilsson appeared last night in Martha before an audience not less brilliant and numerous than that which greeted her on Monday night. Her hoarseness had gone, aud except that she seemed to gpare herself a little on the upper notes she betrayed littie trace of her recent indisposition. In the crowed state of our columns we can only refer in a general way to the merits of what was, 80 far as the four principals were concerned, an ex cellent and a spirited performance. Miss Nilsson made a most charming Lady Henrietta, and Miss Cary a cap ital Nancy. M. Capoul appeared in the character of Lionel and achieved (what it must be confessed that he missed in “II Barblere”) a gennine success. He has a flexible and resonant voice, of pleasant reedy qual ity, somewhat lacking in warmth and color, and light in texture without being at all de ficient in strength. It ig puarred by a slight tremolo and by an excessive and unnecessary use of the falsetto, Its cultivation otherwise is almost perfect, and to the admirers of the extravagantly sentimental and over refined French school, M. Capoul will be a model tenor. He is moreover a vivacious actor, and, despite a little dandyism and affectation, a man of agreeable presence, Tue new bass, M.Jamet, made an excellent impression as Plunkett, His voice is not remarkable for depth, but it 18 strong, even, and musical, The audience, we may add, was enthusiastic to the last degree, and Miss Nils son's “Last Rose of Summer” (which was very sweetly and simply rendered), and M. Capoul’s “M'appari” wern greeted with wild delight. The chorus was slrong in lnale voices, but not particularly well dressed, aud the Fair scene was rather somber. THE BOND AFFAIR AGAIN-THE ATTACK ON MR BANDS. FE ANE JVC NINY de Tt is said that legal proceedings against Mr. Nathaniel Sands will be taken under sectiou 110 of the pew charter, which provides that “No officer of the City Government, Steep a Collector of City Revenue. a Collector of Assessment, Clerk of Arrears, or Counsel to the Corporation, shall have or receive from the corporation or city treasury any perquisites or any compensation or commission for Ms services in addition to Ms salary.” Mr. Sauds, in addition to his salary of $10,000 as Tax Commissioner, bas received $76,000 us commissioner for begotinting city bonds. This was a direct violation of law and the payment Was, therefore, a misappropriation of Fable funds, It seems clear to the persons who o sue for the money that Mr. Sands must repay RK Prhe previous section provides that auy officer of the City Go vernment who shall convert any of the public property to his own use, Or knowingly permit any other Jezeon 80 to convert it, shall be deemed Sugy of a mis emeanor; and in addition to the penalties imposed by law, shall forfeit his office, and be excluded forever after from receiving or holding auy cffice under the Sy. It is clatmed that Mr. Sands, y king the $76,000 of public Wopey which he was iorbidden by law to take, has sub sects himself to these Jensicics, A penal statute must strietly interpreted, owever, and the criminal intent must be proved before a man cal be convicted of a crime. 2» MANLY CARD FROM ROBERT COLLYER.
