The marquis replied as follows to the address of Mayor Tobin, reading in a clear voice: Mr. Mayor AxnffENTxxMFN op thk Cobpohatiom or the City or Halifax I thank you a a representative of her majesty, the queen, and In her name, for the loyal words contained in your addreas, which expresses well the sentiments of devotion to ber throne aud person which have ever characterized the people of the provinces of British North America, and which I am persuaded are nowhere more truly felt and more universally shared than in this city, the capital of the ancient colonr bf Novla Scotia. Your com mumiy has been.

You have with you, I regret for only a short time, the prince who has made honored the profession of a seaman in every quarter of the globe in which he has already had an opportunity oi serving ner majesty. He ha already visited North America, and let us hope that when be again comes th oc caslon may be made then mo e auspicious by tbe presence of ber royal highness, the duch ess of Edinburg. In i o part of the British empire are the perils and honors of the naval proieshi n better understood than on the shores of Novl Hcotla, for here, although much attention is given to tne successful culll vatlon of land aud miners' at t, t ie auger of sea is braved, as on the coasts of other maritime provinces of this a re at cotntry, by tuousandMof intrepid seameu; its pathless field Are msle the tilghways of commerce by your hardy Midori, aad Its wealth gathered by your (reliant fishermen: and arts of riavi at ion are fatnlllar to many among your population Although thousands of the sovereign have before this dy visited thane shores, tnls is the first occasion on which a daughter of the reiznlng house has seen the new wot Id. 1 rejoice thai the prlneem lands on inn continent arunDK a people so loyal and thoroughly worthy of the British ba ar the lnhabl an s of this famous colonv, and I speak but feebly for her when say that she Is much moved by the kindness of your welcome. or my own part, I thank you rr tee nattering manner in wnicn you have spoken of my , acceptance of this high oOl -e, and I can only hops that I shall In some meaanre he ahla to fol lour I la the footstepi of your late governor general.

"Washington, Kov. 23 A committee of the associated banks of Baltimore, appointed to consider and report upon the action ex pedient by the Baltimore banks expressing their sympathy with and co-operatiou in resumption by tbe government of epecie psymcnts on the 1st cf January, bad an in terview to-day with the secretary of the trenrury, and submitted a teries of questions. The chairman said the questions were sugtzetted in consequent oi a law providing that redemption shall take place in New York. The questions prepared and submitted were as follows: 1. That United States legal tender notes be received at the Baltimore custom hortseou and Ktler January 1, lo71, in payment of customs duties, at ttieir face value. 2. Wfll United States legal fenders be re ceived on and after January 1,1S7', at their face value in the purchase ot united mates bonus from tne treasury! 8. will United, states leiai tender notes be redeemed In Kld at tbe office of the United stales assistant tre surer in Baltimore on and after January 1, 17JT 4. Will standard silver dollars he issued in exchangee lor green Lacks In Baltimore ou and after jauuary l, is. y, aud contrariwise mat is, will greeabacks be issued for standard sliver dollars? 5. Will there be an Issue of certificates of depoetf of silver with the assistant treasurer of the United States at Baltimore, and will these certificates bu treated as silver coin in paymeat of customs duties and other Indebtedness to the government? . Wilt the Kovernment, after JanuM.r 1, 187a, continue tne ltsuttnce of certlflcatea of deposit of leeal tender noiea, commouly known as clearing house certificates? S-cretary Sherman replied: I in'erred. gentlemen, from the appointment you made with me that aotne such questions as you now propose would be submitted to me. but as tne law requires me omciauy io report Ui congress In l ttle more than a wees:, upon the very topics you suggest, it would Ik; manifestly Improper for me to now discuss them in such detail as iranKue-s wouui re quire; but 1 may sav a few things wnicn win substantially answer tne object of this interview. Jt Is true that the actual redemption Is confined by law totheolnceof tbe aaMstttui treasurer at rew York. This is a wise provision, lor It would be inexpedient to scatter rede in pt! )n funds o that It would not be really avallab e redemption In New York. The chief commercial city ot the ciuntry establishes the quality of United States notes with coin, and nils is the main thing, ana carries with It their equ tlity in all parts of the United .states. The difllcultie suggested by the Bilttmoie banks could be met by either of several expedients. 1. Thin department eau now, by express provision ot law, sell or exchange coiu lor greenbacks. This has been done for years at BoKtou, Baltimore, Chicago and other leading point, at the same premium for goid as the market rate- at New York. This could i be - continued after January 1, when at New fork the rate will be par. 2. The United .States notes being at parity with coin can, I think, under the existing law he received for customs duties, and this Is the only purpose for which coin is required by law to be paid to the government by a citizen, and it is the pursue for which it is usually desired If there Is any doubt upon this point congress may expressly authorize It. 3 ifl'nltd States notes aretsken for duties In New York they must be taken for dutlea in every part of the United males. Otherwl e an puconstitutionai preference would be made In favor of one part over other parts In the United Slates. - 4. After resumption United Btatea notes must be held and maintained at i ar for purposes in all parts of the United Ktates; they can be tausported easily and speedily, while coin can not be so readily and cheaply moved. It would seem that if we secure absolutely the convertibility of United States notes into com at the chief commcreial cly, we practically secure the sim) convertibility at every other place in the United States. Exchange is unusually in favor of New York but temporary premium eUewhere will be insignificant, aim can not exceed tbe small cost or transporting Uulted States notes to New York that may and has occurred when specie faymeats were the rule everywhere, and is ess likely to occur now, when we have a uniform paper circulation current In all part of the United tsiatea. My general answer, therefore, to you. is that the United States will maintain its notes at par in coin in all parts of the United States, and will do so by tbe redemption of such notes as are presented to the assistant treasurer at New ork. and by the receipt of United States notes for bo h customs duties and bonds. I thinlc thin can be done without a change of the law, but as to this congress must be the Judge. Tbe treasury will treat United States notes and coin as an exact equlalent in all transactions with the government, and then all business every where In the United -fates will adapt Itself to the same standard. Having slated this much, I do not think I ought to go further, and perhaps lu my desire to be f ruuk with you I may bave broached questions that should await the opening of congress.

(, EXILOIO IX A HIKE. A rrightrul Are Ident In Snlllvan Coanty Terrible Fatality and Kuflerlug-. ,- By Telegraph to the Sentinel) . 1 Sullivan, Ind., Nov. 21. This afternoon the citizens of this place were horror stricken by a terrible explosion in the Sullivan coal mine, situated ou the railroad about 300 yards north of the depot, ( A large crowd at once congregated at the mouth of the ill fated mine, Thirty miners were working in the mine at the time of the explosion. The distance to the f rst vein is one hundred and eight feet, and tie second vein . is sixty feet lower. The noise from the explosion ceuld be heard for miles. Tbis was no doubt caused from the explosion of eight kegs of powder that were stowed in the mmes. A volume of flame issued from the mouth o the shaft that rose to a height o over one hundred feet, A large aad excited crowd toon gathered around the mouth of tbe mine, but it was some time before the miners were able to descent!. Men, women aud, children relatives cf tbose working . below, ad . otheis who, believed ," that their friends were kilied.swarmed around tbe shaft, utterlrg cries' that were' heartrending, end beg gtrs description. ' . . . THK ATTEMPT TO RESCUE. Several miners were at last enabled to eater the mine, bat it was with great difficulty kthat they could proceed on acccunt of the smoke and gas. The bodies ware found before many feet had Deen traversed. From their appearance it seemed as If the miners had endeavored to escape after the explosion, but had fallen exhausted from the effects of gas. i -' . RECOVERY OF BODIES. . At 12 o'clock to-night 17 bodies bave been brought to the surface, but the miners who wre . not in the , mine at tbe time of., the explosion are using every exertion to . recover those. ttat remain. It is impossible for those remaining to be alive, for, judging from tbe condition of thoae brought t the surface, . they must be terribly mangled. -. The following are the dead: Albert Smith, Patrick Duun John Boiger, Thomas Handford, oamuel Handford, James .Smith, Jackson Ludon aud William Vail, badly wounded. Ellsworth Kroatz, badly burned; James Harper, leg broken and skull fractured badly and burned. , Ellsworth and Ilsrper will both die.t There are six dead bodies yet in the abaft, but they have been identified by tbe miners at the bottom assisting to bring the bodies to the surface. When the bodies were removed they were surrounded by the anxious crowd, and when one badly mangled,-,-and v burned was . identified by iome mother, wife or child, the cries that rent the air were horrible to listen to. The brave men who are are hunting for bodies are nearly exhausted, but are being relieved by fresh supplies of men. Tbey are still at work at this time, 1 a, m., bringing bodies to tbe surface. Thomas and Samuel Handford, who were both killed, were proprietors of tho ill fa'ed mine. This is the Gr.it explosion that has ever oc curred in any of the mines in this section. Tbis mine was never regarded as dangerous, aod but little trouble has ever been experience! from gas, which was tbe immediate cause of tho explosion. Sullivan is a town of 1,500 inhabitants, situated oa the Evansville , and Crawfordaville Railroad, and is , tbe county seat rf Sullivan coanty. It is 27 miles south of Tcrre Haute. There are ten sLafts leading to coal mices, which is one of tbe princi

ple interests of this section. Compromised at Last. San Frasoisix). Nov. 25. A compromise was to-day effected between J. C. Flood, representing the Union Consolidated, and John Skae representing tbe Sierra Nevada, by which the Surra Nevada deeds lo the Union its interest in 35 feet of ground lying within the Union, .ind also 45 feet of disputed ground lying next to the north line of the Union. Tb remainder of 293 feet of disputed grounl becomes the undisputed property ot the Sierra Nevada. Thia brings the incline of the Sierra Nevada in which ore was lately discovered, within 24, or, as some accounts say, within 12 feet of the southerlyline of the mine. Tbe trustees of both companies met to-day and ratified the terms of tbe compromise. Borne accounts are to the effect that Flood & Co. bave in tbe settlement obtained control of the Sierra Nevada; others that Skae retains his control of the Sierra Nevada. The news from th? mining districts is similiar to that previously telegraphed concerning the appearance of Crosscut. Unveil In a; (he Stalne. . St. Locis, Not. 24.
