Hon. Gideon Welles has written a long letter in vindication of Admiral Farragut's fame as the hero of New Orleans. There is a prospect of a row between the United States and Great Britain. An American vessel was recently sold in British waters in violation of American law regarding such sales.

The United States government has therefore given orders to seize the vessel if ever found in American waters. A bold robbery is reported from Huntington, West Virginia.

The liabilities of the Bank California are about$12,000,000 and the assets not far from $7,000,000.00 There was nothing new in the financial situation in San Francisco, on the 6th inst. It was currently reported that the National Gold Bank and Trust Company would reopen on the 6t!:, and also the stock boards. The reports in both cases were premature. Before committing suicide Mr. Ralston transferred all his property to Senator Sharon, of Colorado, for the benefit of his creditors. Up to September 4, the total amount of gold transferred to San Francisco banks and business men was $2,501,000. Another half mill on was transferred on the 6th from the bullion account of the mint D. O. Mills of San-Francisco, California, authorizes the statement that the defalcation of the late president, of tlie Bank of California will amount to between three and four million dollars, and that an over-issue of stock has been discovered. It is not supposed this will in any way prejudice the arrangements now being made to rehabilitate the bank. It has been reported that the bank of California was largely indebted to the U.S. Mint there. The bank has been refining for the mint and the supposed indebtedness was said to be incurred through that channel. The superintendent of the mint states that on the contrary the mint owes the bank $125,000, payable on demand. The secretary of the U. S. geological survey, has received particulars of an engagement which occurred August 15th, between Gardner and Gennett's parties of Hayden's survey and a band of Indians near the line between Colorado and Utah and near the north line of New Mexico. The fight lasted twenty-one hours and resulted in the loss to the Gardner and Gennett party of all their baggage and nearly all their provisione, but the men all escaped without injury. The Catholic priests of Morristown, N.Y., from their pulpits Sunday the 5th instaut took occasion to call upon each Catholic voter to scratch four of the proposed amendments to the State constitution-those relative to public schools and forbidding appropriations of public money for sectarian schools. There is considerable excitement, and it is expected Protestants will gather in force to vote in favor of the amendments above specified. Applications have been received at the Treasury Department, Washington, D. C., for the transfer of about one million dollars in gold from New York to San Francisco, mainly for commercial purposes. The applications were from r sidents in the latter city. The Treasurer hopes to be able to transfer about half a million dollars ou the 7th, which will be distributed pro rata Among the applicants. Since the suspension of the Bank of California the directors of the mint had directions to stop the coinage of silver and resume the coinage of gold. Therefore a mil lion dollars in coin intended for the purchase of silver not being needed, $500,000 of the amount was returned to the assistant Treasurer last week, and the other halt million will be returned in a few days, when he will comply with the present request for transfer of a million dollar3. The trade with the South is opening bet. ter than was calculated. A good business was expected with the West, and there is no disappointment. The trade of New York with the Middle and Eastern States is small as it was expected it would be, because of the depression in manufacturing interests. With the agricultural sections flourishing, however, it is but a step to improvement in manufacturing. There is more caution and prejudice manifested in trade this season than there has been since the panic, and it is safe to assume that whatever business is done will be done on a safe basis. The situation of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific is practically unchanged. The water being too high for any work to be done. The railroad proposes to put in a line of wagons and transfer between the points where the trains stop. The New York and Erie Bank, of Buffalo, N. Y., of which the late Jno S. Ganson was president, did not open its doors the 6th inst. It is rumored that a large indebtedness through outside speculation is the cause. The capital of the bank is $300,000.

Joseph Guibord,a Catholic communicant, was the first member to die after this order was issued. The Bishop refused to permit him to be buried in consecrated ground. The case was taken to the courts.

The Institute attempted to bury him last Thursday, but the procession was driven from the cemetary by a great mob of Catholics, and the coffin pelted. with stones. The attempt at interment had to be given up. Many of therioters have been arrested, and it is not thought that another: attempt will be made to bury Guibord until they have been punished.
