It is stated that Marshal Grey, of the western dis trict of Virginia, bas resigned, the res ignation to take effect on the 1st . of May. It cannot be certainly ascertained whether or not Smith, collector of cus toms at Chicago, bas resigned. It is probable, and damaging gossip attach es to the transaction.

The steam er. City of Pekin, sailed yesterday for Icokohomo and Hong Kong. She takes 331,524 in trade dollars, $177,- 071 in Mexican dollars, $5,500 in silver bars and $2,343 in gold The steamer, Icraza, formerly the Pelican, is still in port and flying the flag of Costa Rica. The consul from Costa liica na9 mea a protest witn tne collector of the port, holding the Unit ed States government responsible for all damases resulting from the order issued by Collector Shannon, Saturday, I istence of the treaty than England's. as reported. The correspondents of the Times at Vienna and Pera agree that there is little doubt that Grand Duke Nicholas has been charged to induce the Turks to conclude the offensive and defensive alliance with Russia in case of an Anglo-Russian war. The Telegraph has the following, dat ed Pera, April 1: '"So far the Porte has relused all proposals for the Kussian occupation of any heights near the tfosphorus. Grand Duke Nicholas assured the Porte that be Would not advance on Constantinople without the Sultan's assent.'' The Telegravtfs Vienna correspond ent says Count Andrassy has assured M Bratiano, the Roumanian premier, that Russia should under no circum stances keep a military road open through Rou mania for two years. The House of Commons sat through the night until 6 o'clock this morning in consequence of the obstructive op position by some of the Irish members to the Irish Sunday closing bill. The following is a sentence in Lord Sauls- bury s circular to the powers, verbatim, in which he ohiects to the treaty ol ban Stefano, as a whole : "The combined effort of the treaty, in addition to the results upon the Greek population, and upon the balance of the maritime power, which have been already print ed, is to depress almost all the power, and result in the entire Subjection of the political independence of the govo ernment of Constantinople. The formal jurisdiction of 4hj government ex tends over a geographical position which must, under all circumstances, be of the deepest interest to Great Brit- ain. it is in tne power oi tne uttoman government to close or to open the straits, which form the national high way of nations between the iLgean Sea and. the Euxine. Its dominion is re cognized at the head of the Persian Gulf, on the shores of the Levant, and in the immediate neighborhood of the Suez Canal. It cannot be otherwise than a matter of extreme solicitude to this country that the government to which this jurisdiction belongs should be so closely pressed by the political outposta ol a greatly superior power that its independent action, and even existence, is almoBt impossible, lhese results arise, not so much from the language "Of any single article in the treaty, as from the operation of the in strument as a whole. A discussion, limited to articles selected by one power in the congress waild be an il lusory remedy for the dangers to Eng lish interests, and to the permanent peace of Europe which would result from the state ol things which the treaty proposes to establish." The foregoing seems to show the utter impossibility of a compromise between England and Russia on the basis of the San Stefano treaty. The Times' financial article says: "The business in the silver market is at a complete standstill. It is impossi ble to give any quotation, although the tendency is not as good as it was. Vienna advices represent that Austrian obiections are not less fatal to the ex- London, April Iall Mall Gazette reaches us that Beust. the Austro. Hungarian ambassador at London, has left tor Vienna, f suddenly pre; sumably On urgent business." ' The terms of the treaty are, said by the Times' St Petersburg correspondent to be regarded there as so exorbitant that the Russian chancellory, to pre vent an offensive alliance between Austria and England, is about to make another attempt to come to terms with England. At Vienna hopes are still entertained that the congress may meet. Nothing transpires about the feeling at Berlin. A special to the Times from that capital says Prince Bismarck is going to his Lourenburg estates shortly, un less detained by the Eastern question! It is stated from Vienna and St Peters burg on universally good authority that Prussia is irritated by a rebuff from France. The latter being 8pr proached for a separate recognition of the treaty of San Stefano, replied that she would not participate in a com bination against England. The Times in its leading editorial says : "The government's conviction that the terms extorted from Turky are inconsistent alike with the inter ests of England and Europe, will be sustained by the public opinion of the country." The Times has a Bucherest special saying : "Opposition to the retroces sion to Russia of Bessarabia is growing intensely." "Unless energetic disinfecting is promptly carried out along the mili tary roads in Bulgaria and Roumauia, frightful pestilence is likely to break out." The Danube is officially declared open and free of danger between Ibrail and Sulina. MUNICIPAI ELECTIONS. The Result, Monday, in Different Cities. Cincinnati, April 2. Returns from the municipal elections in Ohio and Indiana, yesterday, indicate light votes. Local questions in many places put politics aside. In the laigf r towns in both States the Republicans either car ried the day or Becured large gains In several places, however, the Democrats are ahead. In this city the Democrats elected their candidates for judge of the Superior Court, clerk of the Police Court and county Solicitor. The Re - Eublicans elected their member of the oard of public works. The council is likely Republican and the board of aldermen Democratic. The Republicans carried Cleveland, Portsmouth, Athens, Mount Vernon, Delaware, BelleFontaine and Cam bridge, in Ohio, and Indianapolis and Richmond, Indiana; the Democrats carried Columbus, Dayton, Hamilton. Spnngheld, Toledo, Newark and ur ban a, in Ohio. Nowhere did the National party de velop much strength, except at Terre Haute, which they carried by 100 ma jority. Haetfoed, .Conn, April 2 Sumner.

LEADHES OF FASIHI1T SPARKS FROM THE WISES. Joseph Foulpe & Sons, New York shippers, have failed. Their business was chiefly with the West Indies and South America. A New York dispatch says the jury in the case of John A Grow, charged with conspiring to defraud the govern ment, disagreed, and were discharged. ' The annual report of the American Steamship Company shows a loss of $76,000. McCormick, the American com mis sioner-general to the universal exposi tion, has arrived at Pans. The city council of Columbus, Ga, has passed resolutions favoring Ste phens' Texas and Pacific Railroad bill. A memorial on the subject, signed by thousands of persons, will be sent to Congress.

Gen B F Butler Reverting to Gen Ignatiefrs mission from this standpoint, the Times' Vien na correspondent says : "His coming hither was on the direct invitation to Austria to state her objection to the various stipulations of the treaty, which was done with the utmost frankness. so that whether the congress ultimately meets or not. Kussia is now able .to iudge how far and in what way the treaty can be reconciled, in toe opin ion of Austria, with the latter's inter ests, and those ot Europe, I say Eu ropean, as well as Austrian, because, although Austria as a Doraer estate doubtless has specific interest in the settlement of one or the other point, still the question in its main hearings has alwavs been looked upon, as emu nently European. In the line of her necific interests, or perhaps on that vepy account, Austria more than any other country is in a position, to see not cinlv the immediate effect !but ul terior bearings of each stipulation of the treatv. and to point out where they affect Europe in general.
