1 8 THE DA1LT KVKNlNQ TELEGRAPH PtllLAjjELPIlIA, WEDNESDAY LY 13, 1870. CITY l.lTt:t. 1MOB, DEIALCATIOX. Another Phllitdelphlnn Bmbnmn with Other People's Fairttn-The Debtor on the Konii lo iirfpw fh Creditors on lhj Auxlooa Uracil Probable fall are. This morning the business community of Philadelphia was Startled with a rumor of Another genuine sensation In the fihpe of a defalcation by a member of one of the most prominent wool houses on Front street.

Tho rumor at first failed to be believed, but as too morning wore on thosa interested began to call CI the place of business ot tho reported wieerai gentleman to ascertain tho tmth of the report, when it waa found that that individual bad undoubtedly leit for parts unknown, with a lTge quantity of somebody's moncv. The house to whlcti the defatcator belonged is that known as Thomas HHscn wool brokers, doing business at No. 39 S. Front street, and the missing gentleman 4s Mr. Thomas Hilseu himself, thetcadot" the Ann.

The origin of ttee mmor was the reception of a telegram from the firm of B. W. Bond it wool brokers tn Bostou, Mi9sM of which the firm of llilscn Co. is branch. This telegram was sent to one of the members of llilscu and stated that Hilscn had undoubtedlj' gone to Europe with a large amount of money belonging to trio nottse.

no was supposed, ice telegram stated, to 'have sailed in the steamer gyria. The amonnt of tho defalcation is supposed to be about 00.000. Various reports were on the street as to the amount and as to how it is distributed among the various creditors, but the exact truth cacnot be gotten at us yet. It is not even known for a certainty who some of the creditors are, nor can it be until further advices are received from Boston. According to one report the heaviest amounts are not held in Philadelphia, though several of our firms will suffer to some decree.

According to another report Phlladelphlans will be the greatest losers, as much as being owing to a single firm in this city. The name of various houses are given, but, from want ot proper proof to back the assertion, their names are withheld. The firm of Thomas Milsen ifc Co. will undoubtedly fail, that being the opinion expressed by its remaining members, but what the amount will be has not yet been ascertained. Mr.

Hilsen has always borne a high business character, and no thought of such a transaction had ever entered tho mind of any -one having business with the house. The firm has always met its engagements promptly, and the business community has always reposed the greatest confidence in it. The honse has beeu doing quite a large and flourishing business for some time past, and a prosperous season was looked forward to, which however is now cut short by the unceremonious departure of the principal partner. Mr. Hilscn resided on West Washington Square, where he was favorably known by the residents in the vicinity.

Movements are how being inaugurated to obtain if possible part of the missing money, but with only doubtful hope of success. The members of" the firm are in anxious expectation of any news from or concerning the missing man. DA.IMNG ROBBERY. Safe Blowing a Huccess.

From i JV. Y. Herald. "Financial circles are still agitated by the news from Europe, and to day the excitement spread to tbe Stock Exchange, which had been heretofore comparatively quieu 'The gold market was feverishly excited throughout the uay, and in a sharp decline from 114 to 112 enacted the counterpart ol the movement which took gold so unreasonably above Its price. The earliest dealings this morning, before the formal opening of tne Uold Board, were at 114, from which Eoint there was a decline to 113, during the oard, on the report that Leopold, the Prince of llohenzollern, hail declined the oiler of the Spanish crown.

Private despatches later In the day reported the war feeling still unabated in France, and gold worked its way back to 114. Here it was reported that 'the ditllcuKles between France and Prussia have been amicably and the pressure to sell gold led to a scene of perfect tumult In the Uold Room. Tbe crowd of brokers stood in a dense mass arouud tne fountain and told millions on millions. The clearances to-day reached the enormous sum of one hundred and twenty-two millions, and to-morrow's report will doubtless sliow as large transactions for to-day's business. The whole street gone 'loug' of gold on the war news, and when peace was announced the stampede to sell out made an exulting picture.

Just as gold, however, was obstinate in going up on tlie war news, it was obstinate In yielding on the news of peace. It took the purchase or Uuu.lreJs of millions to advance gold to HQ'. It took the sale of as large an amount, almost, to lower it to 112. After the excitement had subsided, an inquiry was started as to the reliability of the new that the dlttlculties had been amicably adjusted, and it was found that it had beeu based, so far as could be ascertained, on the simple repetition 01 tue announcement that Leopold bad declined the tipauluh crown, and that Kin William had given a qualified disclaimer of his participation In the oiler of tne vacant tUroua. On this there was some uueasinesi, and gold went back to 112 and might hve goue up mors sharply had French rentes been reported 70)tf to 71, as against 66tf yesterday, with a general advance in railway anares ana securities geueraiiy.

As a consequence the Uold Ktyjos closed remarkably dull compared to so excited a market prevailed iu tbe previous portion of the day. THIRD I 1 0 IS AFFAIRS HT THE CliPITM. The He call of IIr. Hon. F.

THE ENGLISH MISSION. Hon. Frederick T. Frellnahayaen, the New Apuoloi.ee. A special despatch from Washington announces that the President has just sent in to the 8enate the name of the Hon.

Frederick T. Freliughuyeen, of New Jersey, as the successor of Mr. Motley as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States to Great Britain. Mr. Frelinghuysen Is a near relative a nephew, we believe of the distinguished Theodore Frelinghuyseu, who was the Whig candidate for Vice-President on the ticket with Henry Clay in 1844.

He Is a' native of New Jersey, and at present resides in the city of Newark. He was born at Millstone in that 8tate, on the 4th of August, 1817, and received his education at Rutgers College, New Brunswick, of wqlch his celebrated relative was at one time President. After leaving college he studied law, and for many years continued to practice with great success, achieving the reputation of helDg one of the ablest lawyers in New Jersey, and indeed in the Middle States. Acting with the old Whig party until its disruption, Mr. Frelinghuysen became associated with the Republican movement from the start, and has always been a consistent member of that party, aUhough he has generally been regarded as rather conservative in his tendencies.

In 1861 he was appointed Attorney-General of New Jersey by Governor Olden, being reappointed to the same position in 1S03 by Governor Ward. On the death of the Hon. William Wright he was appointed by Governor Ward United States 8enator, to fill the vacancy, the present Secretary of the Navy, General George M. Robeson, becoming his successor in the Attorney-General-ship. Mr.

Frelinghuysen took his seat in the Senate on tbe 24th of January, 1807, and his temporary appointment to that body was soon after confirmed by tho Legislature of New Jersey, which elected him to fill the remaining portion of Senator Wright'b term, which expired on March 4, 1869, Mr. F. took a leading position in the Seuate, being selected to serve on the Committees on Judiciary, Naval Affairs, and Claims. Before tbe expiration of his term, however, the Democrats had come into power again, and the Hon. John P.

Stock too was elected bis successor. He is a man of unquestioned ability, a thorough scholar, possessed of an attractive and forcible style as a speaker. His qualifications for tbe most Important diplomatic positions in the gift of the Government time alone can develop. A negro woman has just died in East Tennessee, believed, savs the report, to be 135 years old. Who believes lt? It Is a marvel how many times that old uero woman dies in tbe course of year.

A new conference will be ordered. Secretaries Fish and Boutwell were at the Capitol urging the importance of agreeing to the Georgia bill and passing it. The Tax nnd 11 rill Bills.

The JIIou has just agreed to the conference report on tbe Tax and Tariff bills. It now goes to the President. FROM NEW YORK. The Fenian Trlnl. 13 The Fenian trials wore resumed this morning at 9 o'clock.

The District Attorney -called Patrick Leahy, of Trout river. General Starr occupied a room in his house on tbe 20th. The witness not having arrived, General Starr asked permission to testify on his own behalf. The District Attorney objected, and the court refused the request. The defense claimed that the invaded was tho Dominion of Quebec, not of Canada, as recited in the indictment; that Starr did not originate, propose, or set on foot the expedition, and did not join it until it was on the ground; and counsel held that the prisoner was entitled to a strict construction of the statute, and moved for his discharge.

The District Attorney replied that the indictment was correct. In regard to other objections there was no proof of any actual preparations, but Starr oillciatcd as commander of the Fenian forces, and tho prisoners' actions come within the statutes. Starr took command and led the Fenians into Canada, and he must be regarded as netting the expedition on foot. The importance of the case grew out of the international complication involved, and as a test whether the neutrality laws would be enforced where Great Britain was concerned. The duty of the jury was rendered dilHcult by the prevailing public feeling.

He asked the jury to do justice not only so far as Canada was concerned, but justice to themselves, In order that war might not be forced upon the country. Another Victim ol the Orange Klot.

The bill, he said, was not just what, perhaps, any member desired. He could very frankly say for himself that there were a number of things in it which did not command his entire assent, but all little difficulties were sunk in the general character and value of the bill itself as a leading measure. Trying the bill by the complete returns for the last fiscal ear, he calculated that this bill would reduce Internal taxes (50,000,000 and tbe customs receipts $27,000,000. lie would not hesitate to say that the reduction to be effected by this bill, compared with the receipts ol Inst year, would be over gso.ooo.ooo. He regretted that the House had assented to the first amendment of the Senate, which stiuck out 75 pages, more than half of the House bill, Including special taxes on brokers and bankers and their sales.

Hereafter all Wall street operations would be free from any burden whatever, and a source of revenue from which millions had been and might be obtained without interfering with any of the fair, legitimate Industry of the country was swept away. He should always believe that the House had In that matter acted somewhat unadvisedly. Perhaps it was partly his own fault in having moved the previous question, and thus put hiniHelf In a condition where he bad only lour or five minutes to explain the matter; but he thought it was still more the fault or the mistake of gentlemen who led tbe House in that direction under influences which they did not know of themselves, for it was within his knowledge that the theatre men and brokers and lottery men were very.busy that morning about the llgnse and In the lobbies.
