NEW YORK. The Committee of Seventy Pushing the War Against Official Corruption. .Dally Review of the Leading markets. Special Despatch to Tho Chicago Tribune. TWEED. New York, Dec. 2. —It Is generally believed to night that Tweed’wlU run away in a day or two. There is little doubt if he docs not that ho will be sent to prison, and the Sheriff seems to think Tweed will not be at liberty more than forty eight hours longer. Rumors aro .circulating that he is now preparing for flight. A CLEAN SWEEP PROMISED. The Reform Committee believe Mayor Hall will ’be compelled to resign within tho next fort night; that Gould and Fisk will bo forced out of the Erie Railway, and that a clear sweep will bo made of all leading of ficial scoundrels in the' cltj*. Gould and Fisk are said to be greatlyalarmcdatproscnt appearances, nnfl are getting ready to avoid tho legitimate consequence of years of dishonesty and fraud. It is stated upon what claims to be authority, that -neither of them now has a dollar’s worth of prop erty in his own name. ANOTHER SCHISM is reported in an Episcopal church up town, half tho congregation being extreme Ritualists, and the other half earnestly favoring Low Church. Both parties claim the right to the church prop erty, and legal as well as ecclesiastical troubles are likely to arise. CONNOLLY IX THE DUMPS. Connolly is said to be so depressed in spirits -that his family fear he may attempt suicide, and his wife has requested permission to remain with him. He still complains bitterly of betrayal and -desertion by men he has benefited in countless •ways. Connolly has money enough for bail, but fears £to reveal hlswc-alih lest his rascality and his accomplices in guilt, bo discovered. A RUMOR. There is a story afloat that Fisk has run away, hut it lacks confirmation. MONEY Tlie bank statement showed that the total re serve, owing to the gain in specie, ling increased '5565,900,-against an increase on the total liabilities of $4,302,100. The net reserve is down $509,623. The following table shows the changes compared with last week. Loans, November 25, $283,403,- 700; December 2, 292,310,900; increase, $3,913,- 200; specie, November 23, $16,222,800- December 2, $18,074,705; increase, $1,851,900. Cir culation, November 2.", $30,069,300; December 2, $30,100,900; increase, $17,400. Deposits, November 23, $219,229,600; December' 2, $223,534,500; increase, $4,284,700. Legal tenders, November 23, $.">3,694,900; Decem ber 2,552,408,900; decrease, $1,286,000. The cable reports that the money market is easy, and the indications are that it will remain so, one of the most signilicant of them being the recent reduction of the Bank of Eng land discount rate to 31-2 per cent. In this city the market for money closed easy at 6to 7 per cent, 7 being the ruling rate on stocks. 'Washington telegrams to the street this afternoon give it as Secretary BoutwelTs opinion that the total disbursements in coin for the re demption of the one hundred million of 5-20 bonds will be about twenty millions, and the balance will be exchanged for tbo now bonds. There is now due the government from the National banks over ten millions of gold, which the government will draw for as occasion requires. The $20,000,000 includes the $10,000,000 due by the National Banks. GOLD opened at 110 3*B, declined to 1101-4, and closed quiet at 110 3-8. The chief support of the premium is the demand to cover speculative sales, there being a very general impression among the speculators that 110 is about the bottom of gold for the present. At this season of the year, aud with the Treasury January disbursements near at hand, there is, however, little tempta tion to speculate for a rise, and should the price break below 110, it is likely that fresh specula tive sales would be made, and the price run down one or two points. Cash gold was heavier lo carry. The rates were 4,5,41*2, and 6 per cent. THE GOVERNMENT ROND MARKET was steady, but very dull. Central Pacific bonds closed at 103 l-2a103 3-4, and Unions 91 3-Sa9l 1-2 for firsts, 79a791-2 for land grants; 81 l-2a82 7-8 -for incomes, and 26 3-4a26 7-8 for stock. THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKET was dull, and at the close quotations were nomi nal. STOCKS. There was very little-done in stock prices, with the exception that those for Hannibal Sc. Joseph closed firm. The uncertainty about the action of Congress makes operators timid, and there are few transactions. BQUTWEU/S IMPEACHMENT. The World, to-day, demands the impeachment of Secretary Boutwell for the Syndicate transac tion, and the Tribune’s Washington despatches elate that he is severely criticised by members of Congress, and that there is a talk of a committee of investigation. BREADSTUFFS. The flour market closed a shade firmer for the low grades, with more inquiry. Wheat was in moderate demand. Tho arrivals were larger, and freights were firmer. Shippers were dis posed to hold off and millers bought sparingly. At the close the ruarketwas lower for spring, and steady for winter. Corn was lower and quite active atthe concession. The demand waschiefly speculative, though fair for the trade. The ad vance in freight checked the export inquiry. LTothe Associated Press.] A PORTRAIT OF FARRACUT PRESENTED TO ALEXIS. Kkw York, Dec. 2. —General Dix, in behalf of the citizens of 2few York, presented the picture -of Farr? gut to Alexis, this noon. Alexis accepted the present on behalf of his father, saying it would tahe its place among the choice collections of the Kuseian Government. He trusted that peace and good will would never be disturbed between the two countries. Many people were present. CONNOLLY Connolly denies having made a confession. An application -will be made on Monday to Judge Learned, at Albany, to have Connolly's bail re -duced. TTfEKD. r.umor says that, after Monday next, Tweed •will never be seen in New York city again. There is no doubt that some men, who know Tweed best, now begin to expect him to fleo the country soon. THE STOLE!? ERIE SHARES. Judge Blatchford has declared unsatisfactory the petition of Jav Gould for extension of time in which to produce the sixty thousand shares of Erie for the English stockholders, and orders the stock to be prepared for delivery as soon as pos sible. CONNOLLY It is stated that the Sheriff is examining the sureties of -two or three wealthy men who desire to go bail for Connolly, but not enough has yot been raised to secure his release. THE CUSTOM HOUSE. It is understood that there have been no radi cal changes at the Custom House by the new Collector, General Arthur. PROPOSED COALITION. It is rumored that the proposed conference of the New York Committee of Seventy with the Brooklyn Committee of Fifty will canvas the subject of proposing to the next Legislature the consolidation of mo governments of the two cities under ono’municipal head. RIOOTRY. In an interview, yesterday, the Catholic priest at Hunter’s Point stated that he was opposed to reading the Bible in the public schools, and de sired to have it prohibited by legal measures’. He admitted having counselled his’congregation.past Sabbath, to use Jill lawful means to prevent the Bible being read, but did not counsel violence. SEIZURE OK A CLUE HOUSE. The Times states that the club-house of the Americas Club has been attached in the interest of parties in Connecticut, who are believed to be friends of Tweed. The sum for which the prem ises are seized is only $C.500. The writ is return a hie on the 2d instant. There is an impression in tin- town of Greenwich, where tho premises are situated, that the proceedings thus taken will pre vent the property being levied upon by the Com niittce of Seventy. THE PACIFIC COAST. 'Closing of Rower California Ports by ITlexicons—Seizare of Vessels—A Shoot* ing Affray In San Francisco--Indian Raids in Arizona, San Francisco, Doc. 2.—The Mexican authori ties, having annulled the lease and contract and declared the ports of Magdalena, in Lower Cali fornia, closed, some mouths since, troops from Lopez then drove out Drake, DaLuy, and the half dozen others connected with the Lower California Company, and took possession of the American schooner Greenwood, of New York, loading her with orclulla.

New York, Dec. 2.— Dr. Norman McLeod, who has just returned from a visit to Queen Victoria, at Balmoral, thus reports her health to the Lon don journals: 44 1 have never seen the remotest trace of any moral or mental weakness, but in every instance remarkable evidence of moral and mental strength and capacity. She has just passed throueh a severe attack of rheumatic gout, which so affected her hands that for a time she was utterly unable to sign her name, and from severe neuralgia, from which she has entirely recovered.

New York, Dec. 2 —A Genera correspondent writes on tho 13th tilt, these particulars of the great fire there: “The wind was high and increased to a hurri cane. The flames cracsed lustily until the entire block was burned out. I never saw a worse managed tire department. All the jewelry stores, occupying nearly the whole frontge from the Hotel Metropoli down to tho scooud bridge, were much exposed, but as tho fire occurred in broad daylight all their valuables were saved. At middaj* it as if we had seen the worst. when suddenly the flames issued from the roof of the Hotel De La Couroune. That building, situated a hundred yards in the rear of the block where the conflagration originated, was one skeet of lire, notwitiistanling the wind was blowing in an opposite direction. This second lire caused greatest consternation. Sinister rumors were at once disseminated. Four men with cans of pe troleum, it was said, had been caugbt in tho upper stories of the hotel. A third fire broke out in the rear of tho theatre, half a mile distant. Tho fact that yesterday was election day did much to excite the people. The French Consul General occupied apartments in the building where the conflagration originated, and it was readily believed some of tho commun ists, who abound at Geneva, had as an act of vengeance set Are to the building, the numerous lewelry stores along tho quay, and the factory of Patrick Phillipe A Co., adjoining the Hotel De La Couroune. All that gave room for the be lief that a general pillage was contemplated. The civio authorities called out five companies of militia, but when the rappel was beaten, and the order was posted on the walla of the city, making known tho energetic measures of tho au thorities, tho wildest excitement took hold of the people. At 3p. m. all danger was over. The loss will probably reach three or four millions of dol lars. About twenty casualties are reported, mostly fatal.” Spain. •Madrid, Dec. 2.—The Council of Ministers was in session the greaterpart of yesterday, and did not adjourn until a late hour last night. The questions of the greatest importance, growing out of the recent executions in Havana, and the general condition of Cuba were under considera tion. It is reported that the Minister of Foreign Affairs was advised that tho Go vemments of the United States and Great Britain have tele graphed their representatives at Madrid that they should feel compelled to intervene in the affairs of Cuba, In tho Interest of humanity, since the efforts ef tno Span ish authorities to restore order had proved fruitless. Although the officials refuse to give information, it is certain that a crisis lias arisen in connection with Cuban affairs, which the Cabinet was specially summoned to consiacr. The King presided at the meeting, producing a profound sensation by proposing personally to proceed to Cuba to direct pacificatory measures •in that island. It is generally believed the result of tho meeting of the King and Cabinet was to convoke the Cortes in extra session to provide means to crush the insurrection. The excite ment is very great, and sympathy is expressed for the government. Even the late 3musters are proffering their support to the present Ministry.

November made, the bank clearings unusually heavy thin morning, being $3,857,000. Otherwise than this, there is but little activityin finances. Money continues ex tremely abundant,-and if payments of insurance, losses amount to $10,000,000 or $12,000,000 daring l tho next thirty or forty days,- as there seems rea son to think will be tho case, a very considerable proportion of it will hud its wav into the banks here and be the means of keeping money-plenty nearly all.winter. For the present there is aoaroe any demand for money in inis market on tho part of jobbers in the regular mercantile lines of trade; tho demand on lumber and grain accounts' is also light, and pork-packcrs seem to he about the only ones who arc asking for bank accommo dation.

Tho cattle trade opened very dull this week, with every indication that It would continue so throughout. Buyers were few and indifferent, and, notwithstanding the meagre receipts, there was a general feeling of weakness and depres sion; Advices from Now York, Albany, Buffalo, and other Eastern points were most discourag ing, and a further depreciation in values seemed unavoidable. But, as tho week advanced, tho Eastern markets assumed a healthier tone, and, the receipts continuing lieht, tho market here became more active and firmer, in sympathy. Some good cattle wore offered, bnt tho average quality was poor, the arrivals consisting largely of common and medium descriptions, for which the ruling prices were 52.50a4.25. A few droves sold at $4.50a4.75, one or two at $5.00, and one (a premium drove averaging 1,425 lbs) at $6,12 1-2. The city retail trade continues extremely dull, as poultry. and game, and cheaper meats are still very abundant. A few. car loads were taken for homo consumption at $4.00a4.12 l»Sc, but tho ruling prices were $2.50a:t.50, for common to good cows, and common steers. Stock steer wero in light demand only, at $2.25 a 2.50 for common rough thin, lots, and at $2.75a3.25 for thrifty young steers averaging from 900 to 1.050 lbs. Veal calves have been neglected and almost unsalable even at the low range 0f53.50a To-day there was little trading. Tho supply was light and composed of undesirable grades and sides were slow at yesterdays’ prices. CLOSING PRICES. Extra—Graded steers, averaging 1,400 lbs and upward .f5.40a5.C0 Choice Beeves—Fine, fat, well-formed s to 6 year old steers, and averaging 1,200 to 1,400 lbs 6.00a5.25 Good Beovec—Well-fattened, iinoly-fonn eteers, averaging 1,200 to 1,300 lbs 4.60a4.78 Fair Grades—Fair steers,in fair flesh,av eraging 1,100 to 1,200 lbs 4.0004.25 Medium Class—Medium steers and good cows for city slaughter, averaging 800 to 1,100 lbs 2.5003.75 Stock Cattle—Common cattle in decent flesh, averaging7ootol,osolba 3.25a3.26 Inferior—Light and thin cows and steers 1.75a2.25 HOGS. During the first four days of the week the re ceipts were light, and, fulling short of tho de mand, prices ruled Arm and higher, advancing to f4.00a4.35. The largo receipts of Friday, however, caused a sharp reaction, and CalOc of the advance has been lost, prices, during yesterday afternoon and to day, receding to $3.95a4.25, at which range tho market closed weak. The high prices preva lent here during the past week will probably in duce largo receipts, and by many a still further decline is looked for. Packers arc taking tho great, bulk of the hugs, less than 22,000 having gone into the hands of shippers during tho week just closed. Tho hogs now coming forward, though much better than the average in former seasons, are not so good as at this time last year, when they were exceptiouably line. To-day the receipts were unprecedently largo fora Saturday, reaching 22,000. Under this enormous supply the market, ns may bo supx»osed, was weak, and tho reported sales indicate a further reduction of sc, as compared with yesterday’s prices. Shippers and packers were buying, but tho former spar ingly. reported at fa.y5a4.00 for com mon light uneven coarse and mixed lots, $4.05 a $4.10 for medium, and at 54.15a4.25 for good to choice.

All raw matci i lls are high, especially wool. Tho tendency of prices gen erally at this season is downward; now it is upward on all woollens, as all lots have been closed out, and tho raw material is so scarce and high that some manufacturers aro puzzled whether to run their mills or not.
