To be born to a great name and estate is not usually regarded as a moral disability in this country ; yet it sometimes happens that to be born to the name and estate of a great man is a burden of honour and advantage under which small men sink. We have heard of • " great tragedian" whose only genius consisted in bearing his father's name, regretting, with a simple vanity delightful to wit- ness, the disadvantage under which he laboured in his profession as the son of an illustrious father; he felt himself buried alive under the still warm ashes of that great author of his being and his reputation, but not of his badness as an actor. This was very harmless vanity in • distinguished member of a profession which, above all others, lives, and breathes, and moves in an atmosphere of illusions. Nor, indeed, was this "great trage " dian," who was, if possible, even more acutely conscious of his father's genius than of his own, entirely the victim of self-conceit. For, in truth, his father's name was at once an impulse to his career and an obstacle to the recognition of any individual genius which he might have possessed, and which, in one man's opinion at all events, he did posses. His father's name made him and " undid him quite." The public accepted him on trust, but the critics made odious comparisons. Ws should be sorry to offend the dignity of History, but a recent scene in the Town Hall of Tamworth has forcibly reminded us of the great actor who, by the mere memory of his name, made his son's success, and made it an eternal joke. Only at Tamworth the father was a great statesman, and the son is an everlastingly "promising" jamas pre mier in the PALYERIITON company, with a rersain provincial reputation which, like moat provincial reputations, is nothing more than an uncommonly large dose of self•esteem. One seat for the borough of Tamworth is vacant, in the room of that kind hearted and impulsive legislator Lord RAY/MAX. Two candidates are in the field, one, Mr. JOHN Pam., a manufacturer in the neighbourhood, who dose not appear to be snytbing but • namesake of the late Siritosrar Pam, but who, if only a Pen by accident, declares himself • Peelite iu politics, and, it is quite refreshing to observe, has more confidence in the dead than in any living Mi nister. There is something perhaps a I little vague and a little narrow in the the denomination of Peelite, since all lead ing political adherents and disciples of the late Sir ROBERT Pin., including his two sons, have joinedthenmsearroe standards. Probably the Mr. J mar Pea in question, impressed with the conviction that at some time or other everybody has been related to everybody, and that noblesse oblige, is resolved not to take the name of PEEL in vain into the political market. The present Sir ROBEJIT vouches for his namesake's honourable character, though somehow or other—perhaps the case is not altogether unprecedented or unparalleled—Sir _ . Rosen. is not only not the supporter, but the active opponent of hie namesake as • candidata for the representation of Tamworth. Sir Rome having. of course, come over with the Conqueror, regrets that there is not another Townes:amp to come forward and take the vacant seat He has the innocent weakness of men of "long " line" for "ancestral representatives ;"but ladefault of an ancestral representative he would have wel comed gladly a " stesightforward manly gentle " man" of opposite opinions, who came forward on • former occasion ; indeed, he would have welcomed almost anybody but a namesake, • Pea, who is actually nothing but a manufacturer I Fortunately another candidata has prenatal him self to the Tamworth electors, and this gentleman —"no nominee of mine, for I g,:ve this meeting " my ward and honour that natal that gentleman " came forward I had not the advantage of his " personal acquaintance "—Sir Roars; in his capacity of "burgess of the constituency" and " brother elector," cordially welcomes rot only as " the popular candidate," but es his "honourable " friend." So quickly do friendships spring up and ripen between men of the same political faith—the faith in Pants:anon as "the only " statesman who can take the helm el affairs cd " this country at this moment." Tbis popular , candidate is the Hon. Mr. Cowrsu, who en joys the local advantage of not being a namesake Of Sir ROIIIBT PEEL, and the advantage, as "an " independent supporter of Lord PeArsnerow," of being • namesake of the CHLIF Colausrucares of Worms. To the best of our belief and knowledge —if we are wrong no doubt some Tam/rot:it elector will be good enough to enllghten us--Mr. Cowin, the "popular candidate" for that Slim trims borough, is a politician of extremely cautious opinions for his years. At 27' even • budding Se cretary of State for War is sometimes a Radical. Mr. Cowrie, if we may judge from the report of his speech in the Taniworth Town-hall, is very well' qualified to give a reison for the want of faith that is in him. He addressed the electors on Wednes day evening with coneidersble force, pluck, and point. He made • palpable hit in asking his opponent, who had declared himself &supporter of the policy of the late Sir ROUST Pau, what phase of that policy he supported ; the policy of the Protectionist or the Free-trader, the uncom promising Protestant, or the repealer of Ca tholic disabilities t Touching his own principles, Mr. COWPZIt is not prepared "to remove to any " great extent the government from the hands iu " which it is at present ;" a variation on the Conventioual Palmerstoniau theme, which for aught we know may have a world of meaning in it. He would prefer that the franchise THE £XI BE SATUTipA.Y EVENING, SEPTEMBER "26; 1863. should be extended "to individuals rather " than to classes "—a distinction the deli cacy of which, we hope, all " individual " non electors then present in the Town-hall of Tam worth were preparei to appreciate. As to Church Rates, Mr. CowrEs is less original in his profes sion of faith. He is not for abolition, but for releasing conscientious objectors. lie is for neutrality towards the combatants in America, and for sympathy with the Poles. And to • Voice from the crowd asking whether, under any circum stances, he would support a measure in favour of vote by ballot, he replied without evasion or equivocation, " No,"—a reply which to our thinking, should entitle Mr. COWPER to the respect and coutidence of all electors who know how rare • virtue in " popular candidates" of this com plexion is the readiness to give a plain answer Ito a plain question. But it was not Mr. Covets, the popular candi date, that the people of Tmworth had come out to see on Wednesday evening. It was the local favourite, the representative of the borough for the last thirteen years, a veritable Pau, not a " namesake," but one of the very Pane who had " stood on that platform for the last seventy " years," and what is more, a " Sir ROBERT." We will not be so hard on prophets in general as to count Sir ROBERT among those who proverbially are not honoured in their own country, but it is evident from the proceedings in the Town•hall that the present Sir ROBERT possesses at least that one qualification of a prophet. He was received with " mingled hisses and cheering," though we are glad to bear that the cheers predominated. A Voice from some first or second citizen politely requested him to " shut his mouth," and asked, " Will you torn us " out of our houses ?" an apostrophe slightly sug gestive of the screw. It appears that in certain "scandalous and scurrilous" handbills or placards Sir ROBERT, as the friend of the popular candidate, had been charged with intimidating and coercing his tenants. " Coercion," says Sir ROBERT, " never " has been practised on my estate, and never " shall be"—which is saying a good deal ; but Sir Roarer clinched the assertion, telling • story of a tenant who once deliberately voted against him, and told him of it, and remained good friends with him ever after. Sir Rosser recommends Mr. Cowrra to the electors as "heir presumptive to immense property in land," a most indisputable argument. Nor in recom mending the new popular candidate did he forget to say a word for the old one. He took credit for his own moat assiduous attendance in the House of Parliament, and for liking it. He had often opposed the Government which had now given him one of its principal positions, and would do so again if be thought the interests of the country required it. This is so true, we may remark, that until S'..r ROBRET took office aside- Lord PALMER STON he was considered eligible for office under Lord DERBY. But, as Voimuas says, little dogs, if they had • religion, would make a god of • big clog; and Lord I , LLYIBISTON is certainly Sir ROBERT'S "big " dog." Nay, Sir ROBERT is actually the Pate mr.seros of Tamworth. Like the noble Lord the member for Tiverton, he has his B►saacrouoa— whom the local reporter, with the aristocratic in stincts of his craft, describes as "robed in fustian, " and as having the appearance of • mechanic"—to remind him that he is mortal. And let us cheer fully testify that, like his great protot/pe, Roam disposes of his BAREAOLOSON with wonder ful good temper, pluck, and dash. Yet how is it that the story of the great actor and his son will haunt us as we read the report of this performance at Tamworth f How is it that we cannot help regretting that Sir ROBERT, the father, forgot to recommend his son for • peerage t Stich is the irony of fate ! a Peer's mantle msy sometimes preserve the name of a great comm Int r by covering it op.

Ratrhig met and spoken with the Slenchaug, she knew what to expect. and the Japanese found her tougher than the others. On the 11th ultimo, at 7 a.m., the Molar entered the straits and was saluted with a salvo of ten guns—twe from a battery end eight from • brig of war. Those on board waited in Weems for the first hostile ball, though it was feared that the Japanese would not have courage to fire upon • vessel able to retaliate. This wu a mistaken fear, for a heftily of eight 32 pounders, and a broadside from each of tho two vessels ►nchored under the town sent, • shower of iron over their heads. The Medusa at once replied with all her pieces on the port aide, wl•ich told effectively both on the batteries sod the ships of war. Unfortunately, • bank of sand pre vented the Dutch steamer from getting near enough the Japanese vessels to sink or capture them ; she was exposed to • cross-fire from the batteries, was hulled by sevens shots, being struck in 31 places, and bad three or four men killed by shells. The correct firing of the Japanese made the captain of the Medusa fear for his boilers or rudder, so he steamed off after having been an hour and a half under fire. The Netherlands' Consul. General was • passenger on board, and narrowly escaped being struck ; he bears the highest testimony to the be haviour of all on board. By this time the representatives of the insulted flags began to take action is the matter. America was first on the field, her minister sending the W yomiog to take vengeance. The Wyoming is not a formidable vessel, her armament being four 32 pounders and two pivot guns : but she did her duty bravely if not effectively. Four of her men were killed out. right and seven wounded (one since died). The light arma ment of the Wyoming being opposed to six shore batteries of an average of three guns each, the 'argue Mx, the brig eight, and the steamer two—making in all 34 gane, mostly n pounders ; Captain M'Dougal very wisely concluded to with. draw from so unequal a oontest, and proceed to Yokohama for more form. The captain, all his officers and crew, be haved with the utmost coolness and bravery. The Wyoming was ran into the midst of the enemy's vessels, receiving and retaining broadsides at pistol-range, at the same time sustaining a hot and continuous fire from shore batteries. When the successful shot struck the steamer r.rcrewgavethreeheartycheers. The action lasted one hour and ten Moutes ; we were bulled eleven times, and reoeinl twenty or thirty shots in the masts, rigging, and smoke-:tack. One 32-ponod she" came through immedi ately below the tackles of the forward broadside gun, and. exploding, killed one man and wounded five others The French men-of-war Semiramis and Tancrede pro ceeded to the spot on the 16th July. They met with little opposition, the Japanese evidently preferring to fight with as enemy over whom they have an advantage. Having se lected a battery of five 25-pounder grins, the Admiral (Jaunt) decided upon destroying it ; no opposition was offered, and the battery was demolished ; a party was next seat en shore with au explanatory proclamation, saying that the unarmed inhabitants of the villa:lee would not be molested. The party was politely received by the Mayor of Teoaura. and thanked for the proclamation which it brought. While on shore, firing was heard, and it proved to be the Tancrede engaged with another battery near Shimo. nesaki, which was soon abroad. A force of 250 men were landed, and, while marching among some bashes, received an irregalair fire from Jamas.* troops in ambush. They were immediately engaged and bayonetted, moat of them saving themselves by flight. Having destroyed the batteries, eat fire to the gun-carriages, and thrown the ammunition into the sea, the force finished up by setting fire to a powder magazine, which exploded as they were re. embarking. The Japanese had removed all thei r wounded from the captured batteries, bnt the pools of blood showed that damage bad bees done. Oa the aide of the French, three men were wounded. A body of 2,000 Japanese troops was noticed approaching the village where the French force bad gone to fire the magazine (and whieh, though deserted, was evidently the abode of 'oldie's only), bat a few wellslireeted shells caused it to retire la con fusion. Such is the result of the first hartile operatioas in Japan. Although the Japanese make good artillery prac tice, and are lively before a weaker enemy, they appear to shrink in the promos of an equal form. CHINA, THE REBELS JOINED BY A BAND OF AMERICANS. The China Mail states that Gordon gained a vic tory on the 27th July, which would be important under other circumstances than now existing, in the capture of Wu-kiang, a walled city fifteen miles south of Soochow, and interrupting the communications between that stronghold and Hangchow, as well as with Shanghai., the source whence the rebels still draw largo supplies of arms and men ; but, The victory is more than counterbalanced by the aeocesion of Bargain* to the rebel ranks, with, it is said, 500 row dies of all mations, chiefly American, who have bees con veyed in batches to &allow. Burgevine's designs were openly diseased In the settlement for upwards of • week before be actually left the place, and herby noshed the can of the Chinese authori ties, they os➢ed upon the American woad to prevent his departure; as was expected, how ever, nothing of the kind wu done, and Bargains openly left Shanghai> on the 29th of July, and on the 2nd of Au gust succeeded by a coup de main in carrying off the Chinese steamer Kow.jow from Sunkiang just as the was sec►oriog ►t the latter place un her return from Shangbas. Burge vine has been elevated to the rank of Waog, with the title of K Jai, or Honourable, by the rebel chieftain, and, although neither his owe military capacity nor the prowess of his than sod bobtail crew of rowdies need inspire apprehension, he is dangeroaa, owing to the influence he is supposed to retain among a portion of Major Gordon's force. On the other hand, it is well ascertained that, although Soochow is well defended and thoroughly fortified, the gar riot is suffering from scarcity, and the arkt blockade which the recent snowmen of the Imperialists enable them to maintain at Nanking will prevent supplies from being introduced from that direction. An embargo ha recently hems imposed at Shanghae on the transport of rice to the interior, as it was alleged that 00011120 W sup plies found their way to the interior, end into rebel bands. This has caused • panic among the large holders of rice is Shangbaa. - the famine which prevails in Lower Hungary, and solicited the Emperor to accord an advance of 750,000 florins for the Altold Railway, with an allowance of 10,000 florins for the purchase of tools. His Majesty discussed the question of the Altold line with M. d'Ecetvo3s at some length, and ended by acceding to the request of the baron, who returned immediately to Pestb, where he opened on the following day the assembly of the Society of Hungarian Naturalists and Physicians, of which be is president." ROMAN CATHOLIC CONGRESS AT FRANKFORT. A Roman catholic congress has been sitting at Frankfort, at which the fo'dowin resolutions were adopted "The congress repeats its demand for equal rights and liberties for all confes sions. It asks for the condemnation of the fanatical calumnies scattered in science and in the press against the catholic church. It declares it to be the duty of all catholic. to oppose by all legitimate means all laws which fetter the liberty of the church and are opposed to the complete de velopment of catholic life. The congress says it is the right and duty of the church to judge of, according to the rules of divine revelation, the efforts of science when it enters on the domain of religious truth. The congress protests against every attempt to separate church and state. It claims for the church the right of esta blishing schools and for families the liberty of catholic education. It pronounces against the horrid deeds committed on both aides in Poland. Finally, it repeats its protest against the curtail ment of the temporal power of the Pope, and ex presses its desire that the zeal of the faithful in contributing Peter's pence may not grow cold."

An imperial decree, published to-day, orders that the class for philosophy in the Imperial Lyceums shall henceforward embrace the four matters indi cated in the decree of 1862, and historical studies, the programme of which will be announced here- after. The )(unitesr of this morning announces that the Emperor paid • visit to K Fould at Tarbes, and that his Majesty was cheered by the people. The Courrierdu Dinkins& of today states that Count Rechberg saw with regret the insertion in the Monaeur of the Polish memorandum. It further says :—" Baron Gros has informed Earl Russell that the opinion of the French government relative to the negotiations on the Polish question was that it was preferable to close • useless dis cussion." The same journal says :—" The mission of Nubar Pacha is stated to consist in laying before the Sees Canal Company the bases on which the Porte and Egypt would wish to negotiate. These babes are said to be :—L The company would entirely relin quish the conceded territory. 2. The Porte would on the other hand authorise the Egyptian govern ment to furnish contingents of workmen on con dition that they did not exceed 6,000 men at a time." The Courtier du Dimanche doubts that the condi tions will satisfy the company. THE POLISH INSURRECTION. WklitBAW, Szrr. 26. _ .

THE OVERLAND MAIL. INDIA. The Bombay Times of August 30 states that the commander-in-chief is thinking of going into Cash mere about the end of September, taking Captains Burns and Moore, respectively private secretary and head-quarters statt interpreter, with him. He will thence visit Peshawur, and join the camp of exercise at Lahore in the latter end of December. This camp will consist of four troops of Horse Artillery, four batteries of field artillery, two regi ments of hussars (20th and 21st), five regiments of British infantry, and six regiments of native infan try, in all about 47 guns and 1,100 men. The Ride Brigade from Delhi are to form the Governor- General's escort during his ensuing tour through the Punjaub. The supposed Nana arrived at Cawnpore on the 22nd ult., under a Sikh escort; the period of the year making it inconvenient, if not dangerous, to send Europeans in charge. "We fear (says the Bombay Times) there is but small ground left for believing him to be the Nana, although in some well-informed quarters the ides is still enter tained. The man who was arrested by Captain Nuttall's polio°, and put upon his trial at Hy derabad as Kishen Rao, turns out to have been, as we surmised, a mere police-made conspiator., and has been set at liberty. Simultaneously the man arrested at Khandalla by Mr. Forget! as Kiahen Rao, and afterwards released, has been identified as the Nana's eldest brother, and is again in custody. The re-arrest of this man, who, it may be remembered, was taken upon the evi dence of Gya Persaud, the same spy who denounced the alleged Nana, lends some colour to the belief that we may have the real Nana, also, after all. A few days, however, will soon remove all uncer• tainty upon the point."—[A teleg:am, given else where, states that it has been ascertained the pri soner is not Nana Sahib.] We find in the Bengal Harkens (Calcutta) of August 22 the following paragraphe : The all engrossing subject of convention in this city is the great " Burney Case." It is an action for defamation of character brought by Colonel (now Major-General) Bur. my against Lieutenant and Adjutant (now Captain) Eyre, of her Majerty's 38th Regiment.

His excellency will proceed "Over the hills and far away" to the latter station, which he expects to reads about the 3rd November. From Sealkote Lord Elgin will march to Peshawar, and thence back to Lahore, where he will probably arrive about the 15th January. The standing camp of isstraction at Labors, under the commanderinahiers personal super vision, will consist of 10,000 men. The Vieeroy's Legislative Council will also assemble in the capital of the Punjab. His excellency will, moreover, open the Exhibition in person, and great will be the rejoicings this ensuing eold weather throughout the land of the five rivers. For the Isfoemation of those who take an interest in the movements of the Liesitemat-Governor of Bengal, we have the pleasure to state that his honour left Camisole on the afternoon of the 12th, and arrived at BhaLalpore on the 13th.

A communication from Naples in the Italic of Turin states that the affair of Crocco and Ninco- Nsaco is becoming complicated. The former, who has amassed a capital of 84,000 ducats, wants to in duce his men to surrender, in which case be will be allowed to leave the country and settle in Dal matia. But his men will not consent to surrender unless be sets them the example. Meanwhile they keep bim prisoner. They are all disarmed, lest they should be taken prisoners with arms in their bands and shot, the troops being in readiness to attack them on the Ist of October, when the period allowed for surrender has expired. It is expected that the brigands will fall out among each other and thus save the troops the trouble of taking them. Owing to this state of things, the Ba‘ilicata is quiet at present, but Benevento is still a prey to brigandage, and as late as the 17th, a landed proprietor was taken up by 11 miscreants, who have fixed his ransom at 20,000 ducats (the ducat is 4fr. 25c.). The 31(mi/ore di Bologna publishes what follows : We lam received a letter from Sae Bartolommeo, Is Galdo, stating that the united bands of Como mid Vacs.

The French journals are stuffed with false and misleading news, but as there may be some grains of truth in their statements, one is obliged to notice them. A rumoured journey of Prince Napoleon to London is, of course, the theme of many oonfiicting versions. The Petrie last night said, " The depar ture of Prince Napoleon for London is announced." To this the Pays replies, "A journal has an nounced that Prince Napoleon bad left yesterday for London. At the hour of going to press the prince was still in Paris." This answer is at once mendacious and jesuitical. The journal in question did not say that the prince lied gone, but that he was going. The Pays purposely leaves it doubtful whether its instructions are to deny the news altogether, or to haggle about a few hours. However, almost all the evening papers say, in one form or another, that the prince is going almost directly—some say to-morrow, some ou Sunday. Then comes the question, whe ther or not he has a mission. The Nation says he has. The Temps and Prose both profess to be authorised to say that his excursion has no political signification whatever. On the other hand, Bother's Correspondence hears from " two sources " that the prince is charged with a mission. The P resse throws out the following feeler : . The French government gees with regret the rupture between England and the Oonfedernte States, signified by the departure of Mr. Mason from Loudon, and we should not be surprised if certain pourporter* now os foot in London. sod which it has bola attempted to connect exclusively with the Polish question, had principally for their object to bring shoot a renewed good understanding b etween the English government and the government of Richmond. The Natio* and Prease both announce that Baron Gros is to be recalled from London, and that there is a talk of putting either Duke de Persigny or Count Walewski in his place. I believe the assertion that IL de Budberg has not seen IL Drouyn de Lhuys, and therefore could not have protested against the insertion in the Moniker of the memorandum of the National Polish Government, was an evasion. I am assured that he did complain of it, not directly, but through the Duke de Morny. It is probably owing to this complaint and the vacillation which prevails at bead-quarters that both the Pays and Francs are instructed to say to.uight that the publication, which caused such a serious fall at the Bourse, was a matter of no consequence, and must not be taken in any way as an indication of the policy of the French govern. meut. That I believe to be true, and I conjectured WI much in my letter of Tuesday last. But the reasons offered by t h e Pays are dishonest and puerile in the extreme. It pretends that the Monacan iu the part when the Polish manifesto was published, is a journal just liko any other journal, and that the letter to Prince Csartoryaki was merely printed as current news of a nature to interest the public. Everybody in France knows this excuse to be futile, and, in this particular ease, it is notorious that the telegraph was hard at work between the Foreign-office and Biarritz, discussing th e subject before the Emperor's personal order for the insertion came. I don't suppose it will be said that the Emperor, especially when out of town, manages the paste and scissors department of the Moniteur. The most sensational and doubtful story of the day is that given by the Nation, that an angry scene has taken place at Vienna between M. de Gramont and M. de Rechberg, France throwing upon Austria the responsibility of the aix points, and ceiling upon her to take the initiative in com. polling Russia to enforce them. This story, how. ever, coincides with the assertion of two days back, that the alliance of "three" being untenable efforts were making at London to form au alliance of " two." CAPTUJUr BY CHINESE PIRATES. AN ENGLISH GUNBOAT ATTACKED.
