AddreesM were then delivered by ex -United States Attorney-General Brew iter, who eloquMtly outlined the ox-President's exalted oarMr, Md by Hon. Chauncey M. Dapew, who paid a high tribute to tbe character aad achievements of tbe deceased. In tba course of his address Mr. Dopew said: "When tb ad came for General Oarfield, Arthur entered the White House m ba had takM tb Mth of omee alone. A weaker man would have succumbed, a narrower om would hare seised upon tba MtrMage aad endeavored to build up hie power by strengthening hie faction. But the lineage aad training of Arthur stood la this solemn and critical hour for patriotism aad manliness. Friends, oo-worxers with btm ia tbe old line, aad associates under the old conditions, looking for opportunities, for recognition of for revenge, retired chastened Md enlightened from tb President of the United States. President Arthur will ba distinguished both for what he did and wbat he refrained from doing. The strain mm intensity of public feeling, the vehemence of the angry and vindictive paassioM of tba tiaie, demanded the rarest of negative as well as positive qualitlee. His calm Md even course of government allayed all excitement and appealed to the better judgment of the people. But though not aggressive or brilliant, his administration was sensible and strong, and admirably adjusted to tbe conditions which created and attended it He spoke vigorously for the reform and improvement of tho civil service, and when Congress, acting upon hia suggestions, enacted the law, he constructed the machinery for its execution which has since accomplished ' most satisfactory, though as yet lacom- I plate results. On questions of currency aad finance he met tba aeetVi of tba public and private credit, and the best commercial sentiment of the country. He knew the necessity for efficient coast defenses and a nary equal to the requirements of tbe age. He keenly felt the weakness of our merchant marine and the total destruction of the proud position we had formerly held among the maritime nations of the world, and did what he could to move Congress to wise aad patriotic legislation. There has rarely bees, in the history of popular governments, so rrent a contrast In tbe public appreciation of General Arthur at the time of his inauguration and whan be retired from office. The President of whom little wm expected aad much feared returned to private life, enjoying In a larrcr degree than most of hie predecessors the profound respeet and warm regard of the people without distinction of party. He said to me" early in his administration: "My sola ambition into enjoy the confidence of my countrymen." Toward this noble ideal he strove with undevlatinr purpose. Even in the mistake ha made could be seen his manly struggle to be right Once araln in private statist, and resuming the practice of hia profession, be moved among his fellow citiaeas, receiving the homage and recognition which came of their pride in tba way be had borne the honors and administered tbe duties of the chief magistracy of the Republic In hia last illness be had the sympathy and prayers of the Nation and the grand gathering of men most distinguished in every department of our public and private life, who sorrowfully bore him to tba grave, wm tbe solemn tribute of the whole people through their representatives to hi worth as a man and hia eminence m a public servant m Sir.

A locat paper says: One of tbe moat impudent and bare-faced lottery schemes ever devised ia bow being operated throughout tba United States. This swindle is mainly designed for victimizing tbe German-speaking contingent in the large cities, Md hM al ready achieved a tolerable measure of success. The modus operandi is quite simple, m will be Man by the following account : A concern styling Itself "Messrs. Thleta A Co., Bankers, Hamburg, Germany," through an agent la Baltimore, Md., hat flooded the country with letters addressed to German res id en te of all large cities. These letters contain a double-sheet circular, twelve inches by eight, printed in German and English. This circular gives a glowing description of the ' Two Hundred and Ninety-second German Government Lottery of the City of Hamburg." It outlines the scheme of the lottery, the prtMs ranging in the different series from 110,009 to saa,000 marks. They announce that on each ticket, ta Insure genuineness, will be printed the Government coat of arms. Inclosura No. 8 is a small oblong slip, printed as follows: 'The amount may by remitted by means of an American Kxpress Company's money order, which 'must be made payable at Hamburg, Germany, by th company' agent residing at your place of living. You will please send the order in a registered letter." After making the American Express Company their accredited agent In a number of large oitiet they forward Iacloaure No. S, which is aa envelope with their Hamburg address.

Keported Lets mt the Sehoonrr Active, with " All en Heard, Thirty-three In Number, 0T the Coast ef Oregon. Ottawa, Oat, April 32. A special from Victoria, British Columbia, trives an account of a terrible shipwreck, accompanied by the lose of thirty-three lives, which took place off the coast of Oregon, about thirty miles north of Cape Flatter;, during the early part of this month. The Information wm nrat brought in by four Kyugenot Indians, who arrived at Victoria yesterday morning, having occupied tea days ia making the overland journey from the scene of the wreck. for some time pMt considerable anxiety hM been felt regarding tba schooner Active, having on board live Hwedes and twenty-eight Indians, anil whioh is Ion? overdue. The Active waa engaged in general coaet trade, and had a valuable cargo of assorted merchandise on board, which, however, was sot insured. The schooner appears to have been caught in a storm which raged during the early part of the month, and to have been dashed on shore1, where she speedily went to pieces, all hand undoubtedly perishing. Aa far aa kMwn, ao one witnessed the disaster, tbe Indians having their attention Unit attracted by the large quantity of wreckage washed ashore, including bunks, Indian mate, bedding, etc, whkh wm washed up, but nothing actually bearing the name of the vessel. The general description however, together with the nature of the artlolM reported to have been recovered, leaves no aoubt that tha unfortunate vessel was the Active. Among those who have perished ie Mr. Jake Uuttman, (one of the owners), Captain GeUchamel, Atta JacobMa, Charles Frederick ami Billy Lessong, besides the tweaty-etgitt Iadiant before mentioned.

The bars were received aad receipted for la the usual form. Shortly after the suspicion of Mr. Graham, tha receiver flf the deposits, was exalted by the lisht weight of the bars. Samples were tnkon from tbe four bars, when it was found that tba bar wara of oopper, with a thin wash of gold oa tha outside.
