AN - tare still without cer:ain information respecting the manner in which the seizure of the Wachusetts is regarded by the Government of the United States, but we know what is of next importance—the light in which that act appears to the American Minister at Rio, who must be supposed to have a general knowledge of the intentions of his Go vernment and its disposition towards Brazil. The French steamer which left Rio on the 25th of October brings letters from which we learn that, immediately on the arrival at Rio of the news of the capture of the Florida by the Wachusetts, the Brazilian Government addressed • note to Mr. WEBB, the United States Minister at that Court. This note, together with Mr. Wxun . :: answer, is published in the /horn" Official of Rio. In bit reply to the note of the Brazilian Government, Mr. Wenn promptly and vigorously repels in the name of his Government and for himself all complicity, direct or indirect, with the act of the captain of the Wachusetts. The seizure of the Florida, he states, was not antho rised by the orders or instructions of that officer. He accepts the statement made in the note of the Brazilian Minister as exact, reserving to himself the right of making subsequent corrections in it. The Government of the United States have always directed him, he continues, to express its confi dence in and friendship for the Brazilian Government for many reasons, besides the fact that the United States and Brazil are the two principal governments of the American continent. With these sentiments, Mr. WEBB says he has learnt with deep regret that • commander of an American ship cf war has taken on himself the responsibility cf capturing a rebel cruiser in the port of Bahia, and finds himself able to assure the Imperial Government that every reparation that honour and justice require will be offered to it more promptly and frankly than if the same act had been perpetrated in a harbour of the moat power ful maritime naticn cf the world. This reparation will, however, be given under protest, as the United States Government denies the tight of re cognising the character of belligerents in those who are in rebellion against the legal Government of the United States. B.it the United States Government, desirous of consolidating its friend. ship with Brazil, will not, Mr. WEBB adds, allow that consideration, or the violence which waa in spired by the insclt to the Brazilian honour at Bahia, to interrupt the alliance between the two States. The Brazilian Government has ordered a court of investigation on the conduct of the officers of the ships of war and forts in the Bay of Bahia on the occasicn of this outrage. Full instructions have, it is understood, been addressed by the Brazilian tlevere:nent to the chargd d'affaires at Washington, to re l uire satisfaction and redress for the capture of the Horida. IT is common to speak of a panic as the just consequence of over-speculation, and the conclu sion is in a great degree warranted ; but the fact is not to be lost sight of that the incidence of the cala mity by no means corresponds to the justice which is thus supposed to be meted out. In very rare cases does it happen that a commercial panic ex clusively visits those that have caused it with retribution. Hence it is wrong to talk about mere speculators receiving a lesson. Mere speculators are little disquieted by a crisis which cannot affect them except by reducing them to temporary inacti vity. Their whole loss consists in the circumstance that the times are bad, andthat a new company will not float. If mercantile houses fail by the score promoters can suL r little or nothing ; they have neither capital embarked in trade, nor do they do business as bankers or discounters. In the come ple xi state of nor modern civilization it is proved that what affects one class of the community will also press upon other,. It is equally well known that while those who are most to blame suffer some what, ot!.ers who are comparatively innocent have to bear the heavier share of the burden. It is a miatake to suppose that a panic is necessary to clear the commercial world of its worst elemews. Ti.is is signally proved by the great failures iii the leather trade that took place some few yearn Lick. It was shown before the several meetings of creditors that an unsound system of dealing had existed, involving the un scrupulous use of accommodation bills—that worst form of irregular trading—and that it was only founi out by mere chance. There is reason to believe that the practices which were then only fully brought to l ht had been going on for a period long antecedent, perhaps during the memorable year According to the ordi- Ile THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 21, nary commercial theory, these failures shoubirhave occurred long before, but they did ,16t4 fact which shows that the "clearing of its air " idea is not altogether sound. Another point iiitihich we may refer is the "mall joint-stock mania which occurred about eleven or twelve years ago in gold companies for California. The thing collapsed of itself after a time, but required no panic to set it right. The late eagerness to embark in new joint stock undertakings is for the moment checked, but this result, beneficial as it may be in itself, would be dearly bought by failure of good commer cial houses. If a mania occurs it is the fault of the general community, not merely of merchants alone. There is, however, an evident disinclination to re cognise this fact. It is a patent injustice that the latter should exclusively be the scapegoat. The difficult part of the citation is to suggest • remedy. As long as joint-stock enterprise exists it may be safely affirmed that the public will readily join in it, and at times without taking the slightest consideration of the engagement' into which they enter. As it is almost impossible to save them from the risks they thus heedlessly run, it is equally difficult to prevent the evil consequences that may thereby ensue to others. All that can be done is never to lose an opportu nity of inculcating caution, and of alleviating, as far as legislation will permit, any difficulties that may arise. It is from this point of view that the agitation for the reform of our monetary laws is especially valuable. Some persons, whose minds are apparently unable to learn by experience, still believe in the perfection of our currency system. Its repressive action, however, is so far useless that it has not prevented one great mania, half a dozen smaller ones, and inordinate speculation and over trading of the worst sort,while on several occasions it has undeniably caused severe and useless suffering to the mercantile community, and by consequence to the country at large, and on the only two oc caaions when it has been thoroughly put to the test it has broken down altogether. gbt Court.

TIM EARL OF DERBY.—We (Lirtryoul Albion) are happy to state that his lordship is now oat of danger ; but hui attack having been a very severe one, he is still weak. PRIVILEGE.; OF THE UNIVERSITIES.—A abort time since we announced that actions had been commenced by a senior fellow of one of the leading colleges at Oxford against the Chancellor (Lord Derby), Vies-Chancellor, Assessor, and functionaries of the Vice-Chancellor's Coat, for an illegal arrest, and we are now informed that the privileges of the university, or its court, hare received • further blow by the wholesale issue of writs in the Court of queen's Bench against resident members of the university, by • well-known legal firm of Oxford and London. The proceedings have caused some degree of consternation in the university and city, as it was generally conceded that the autboritiee of the university o-uld claim jurisdiction over their members, and • special meeting r f the delegates of privileges in the university was convened lost week to de termine on • course of action with regard to the said writs. The result has been that the university solicitors, Messrs. Morrell and Hawkins, have been instructed to appear and clam ovnectaerr, and a discussion on the important ques tion may be anticipated every day before the Lord Chief Justice nod Justices Crompton, Mellor. and Ghee. The soli citors whose names appear on the writs, it is said, rely on the University Neform Dill. SMITH FIELD Cbru CATTLE SHOW.—On Saturday the A4iicultural Hall was visited by some of the members of the council of the Smithfield Club, with a view to con sult with the directors art to the arrangements for the accommodation of the largely increased number of animals which the entries of the present sear are expected to produce. Notwithstanding the increased space which the Agricultural Hall at Islington affords, it will be taxed to its utmost limits to accommodate comfortably all the specimens of live stock, unless the practice is dispensed with of letting the side opaces under the galleries for the exhibi tion of the heavier description of implement.. Last year about 30 of the cattle classes had to be located in the minor hall, sod this rear there are 45 more to be accommodated. The entries in the Devon., Herefords, and Shorthorn. are unusually large, whilst the Duke of Richmond will have a more than ordinary show of Southdowns, and will, in all probability, again bear off the honours in that class, the formidable competitor, both of the present as well u the late duke, Mr. Higdon, of Hove, near Brighton, not being an exhibitor this ye►r, by reason of being one of the stewards of live stock. Lord Valaingham, the late president of the club, has also entered for the Leine.. tershire breed., and the competition in these classes is expected to be very keen. some of the moot celebrated breeder. of those descriptions of sheep having entered. Mr. John Clayilon, the chairman of the Agricultural Hall Company, has entered some pens as well as single speci mens in extra stock of the celebrated breed of the late Mr. Jonas Webb. The whole of the animals must be at the hall before ten o'clock on the evening of Saturday, Decem ber 3rd, and the adjudication will be so divided that the judges are expected to make their awards by two o'clock on .pouchy, the ::tb, at which hour the show will be opened to private view to members of the club, to the press, and to the public, at Ns. each person the general or public opening taking place at eight o'clock ow Tuesday, the rib, and coo tinuing daily till the evening of Friday, the 9th, when it will Busily close, LAINST lITKLLIOENCt • . • AMERICA.

The Royal Mail steamer Canada, from Boston on the 9th inst., arrived at Queenstown at 2 a.m. She brings 70 passengers and 25,414 dollars in specie. She landed 75 sacks of mails and 4 pas sengers and proceeded immediately ; all well. She experienced severe weather, and was detained at Halifax by fog. NEW YORK, Nov.B, Rums°. General Butler has assumed the command of the troops in the State of New York, and has estab lished his head-quarters in this city. He an nounces that sufficient troops will be detailed for duty in the eastern district to preserve peace, and says that if the government had not received information that a raid similar to the St. Albans raid was contemplated there would have been no necessity for precautionary measurei. Soldiers will not interfere with the liberal franchise, and will see there is no interference with the elections unless the civil authorities are overcome by force. The election to-day has proceeded quietly as far as is known. It is positively asserted that General Butler has warned several prominent gold brokers that they must not speculate in gold to the detriment of the government. Sherman's head-quarters were at Gaykarate on the 27th. The New York Herald asserts that he had sent one corps to Decatur to operate against Hood, and moved the remaining five corps. to Atlanta for au offensive campaign. It is reported that Hood with the remainder of his army bad succeeded iu crossing Tennessee, with his batteries, between Paducah and Joluisoneville. His forces are 12,000 strong and 15 guns. He cap tured and destroyed the Federal gunboats and tran sports at Johnsonville, securing the officers, crews, and a considerable amount of stores and artillery. It is reported that the Federate had evacuated Johnsonville. A report has been received at Nashville, which, however, requires confirmation, that Hood having attempted the passage of the Tennessee, at Mount Blue Water, had been repulsed with considerable lase. Hood has issued an address to his troops, stating that Sherman could hold neither Atlanta nor Nash ville, and that in the next battle he would lead them to victory. Price has been defeated at Newtonia by Genera Blunt, and is retreating towards Cassville, with large trains and a number of unarmed conscripts. Rosecranz and Pleasanton have returned to St. Louis. The Federals have re-occupied Plymouth, North Carolina. The Confederates evacuated the city on the approach of the gunboats. The Confederates bare enrolled the negroes in Mobile between the ages of 15 and 45. An enormous torch-light demonstration Las taken place in Now York iu honour of M'Clellan. Numerous citizens in Chicago have been arrested, charged with a plot to burn the city and release the Confederate prisoners. The democrats have issued a protest declaring that tho arrests were made an excuse for military interference at the polls. Mr. Seward has made a speech on the issue of the election. He said there was no question before the people of abandoning the war measures against slavery or of changing the object of the war from the maintenance of the union to the abolition of slavery. Slavery was the mainspring of the re bellion, therefore the government strikes every where. The government will not abandon the conflict until the majority of the people desire it shall be abandoned. If Lincoln was elected the rebels would humbly sue for peace. He would never surrender to the rebels. He wanted no armistice, no cessation of hos tilities, no negotiation with armed rebels. The privateer Chickamauga continues her depre dations. It is reported that the Canadian steamer Georgina has been fitted out as a privateer, and is now on Lake Huron. The steamers Annie and Lucy have been captured. The American and the City of Baltimore have arrived out. NEW YORK, Nov. S. EC ENING. Money easy.

The Presidential election has passed off quietly. Abraham Lincoln has carried all the states except Jersey, Kentucky, and Delaware. His majority is 223,000 votes. M'Clellan's majority in New York city is 37,000. Two-thirds of the Cuugress are re publican. Seymour's election is doubtful. It is reported that Sherman has burnt Atlanta, destroyed the Chattanooga Railway, and marched with five corps direct for Charleston, South Caro lina, leaving two corps to watch Hood. The report is discredited at Washington, but a general belief prevails that Sherman is making au impor tant movement from Atlanta towards the Atlantic seaboard. The enrolment of negroes at Mobile has been delayed. The New York Ti 11 1 ,3 states that America owes Brazil satisfaction and au apology, in accordance with the usage of nations, for the seizure of the Florida. Treasonable plots bare been discovered at Toronto. NEW YORK, Nov. 10. Evnix,:. Money easy.

He declared that he would not interfere with the elections unless the civil authorities failed to preserve the peace. He promised that every citizen should be pro , tected in the right of suffrage by the whole power of the government, and declared that the Federal armies were ministers of good, and not evil, and the soldiers the safeguards of constitutional liberty. He threatened at the same time the punishment by the Federal government after the elections of all who should be detected in offering fraudulent votes. The Confederates reconnoitered Grant's left, and after considerable skirmishing and the loss of a couple of hundred men on either side the Confede- I rates returned to their intrenchments. Early is still at Newmarket. Sheridan is at Middletown. Many of his horses have died of starvation. All attempts to secure forage to the east or west of his camp are repelled by Mosby's cavalry, and many of the foraging parties, together with their trains, have been captured. Forrest captured Jolnisonsville, Tennessee, on ' the 3rd of October, with three gunboats, eight transports, their officers and crews, all the Federal ,stores, and many cannon. The Federal garrison had previously evacuated the place. General Blunt reports skirmishing with Price's rear guard at Newtown, Missouri, on the 28th. Price was still moving towards Arkansas. Confederate accounts confirm the sinking of the Albemarle, and report the recapture of Plymouth, North Carolina, by the Federal gunboats on the 31st ult. Mr. Seward made a speech at Auburn last night, in which he declared that there was no intention upon the part of the administration to abandon the present war measures against slavery for the adop tion of a policy of conservatism and concession, and that the war must go on until one side or the other succumbed through exhaustion. Federal officers from Chattanooga report that Sherman has abandoned the pursuit of Hood, and, finding it impossible to hold Atlanta, has evacuated Atlanta and burnt that place ; also that Lee is de stroying the railway and removing the rails to Chattanooga. They add that Sherman, with five corps, was marching through Georgia towards Charleston, South Carolina, a distance of 300 miles. This statement requires confirmation. Confederate journals state that now, for the first time, Lee's forces equal Grant's in number. An offensive movement by Lee is anticipated. The illegal capture of the Florida in Bahia creates much discussion. Captain Collin's conduct is ap proved by the people, but will not, it is though; be supported by the government.

Soon after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon (reports Admiral Barton) a vessel was observed in distress about 6 or seven miles from this place. The lifeboat of the National Institution was launched as soon as possible, and proceeded to her assistance. It was blowing a hard gale from the westward with heavy squalls of rain, and the night hazy and very dark. Four blue lights were burnt by the lifeboat, but unhappily no light could be seen in answer. After pulling about for several hours in a dark tempestuous night without being able to discover the vessel, the lifeboat re turned, having been out about tip hours. This morning (Saturday) about 7 o'clock the crew again assembled at the lifeboat house, and the wreck of the vessel she failed in finding last night being seen upon the Hone Bank, the boat was launched, sod on reaching the vessel she was found a total wreck, with mainmast and foretopmast gone. On boarding the wreck one man only, a coloured man, was found alive under the topgallant forecastle, and be said the whole of the men, except the master acid himself. bad taken to tbe rigging when the vessel struck, and they had all gone overboard with tbe mast, and were drowted. The survivor was taken off by the Lytham lifeboat. also belonging to the National Institution, which bad likewise gone off to the wreck. The Southport lifeboat brought on shore the dead bodies of the captain, found in the vessel's bold, and of one seaman, found on the bank. The venal proved to be the brig Chimera, of Liverpool. The reports of these two services show the determined efforts that are made by our lifeboats to save life. During the fiercest storms these lifeboat men on the Lancashire coast never falter for a moment, but go out through the dark tempestuous night to endure fatigue, exposure, and risk of life with a readiness that excites the astonishment of the ordinary obs . A letter from Rome, of the 12th, says :—" Fre quenters of the opera are looking forward to the production of Thc Iluqutnots for the first time on the Roman boards. It will, of course. be a complete travesty, as the admission of conflicting catholics and protestant. on the stage of the Apollo Theatre would never be allowed by the governor of Rome. The music will be 3leyerbeer's, but the Ittrato will be completely changed, and the scene transferred to V.e low countries ; the catholic. will be royalists, and the Hugueoota republicans, and all idea of a religious struggle will disappear in a political revolution. The title will, of coulee, be entirely changed also. These transformations are ' strange, pawing strange,' but most operas have to undergo them before production in Rome." Melauctlion's house at Bretteu, io the Grand Duchy of Bailee, has just been purchased by the Evange lical Congregation of that village, It is intended to devote the house for the future to the purposes of an ioetitution for the maintenance and education of poor orphan children of parents of evangelical faith who were natives of, or rut dent in, that put of Baden.

The Momiteur publishes the names of the func tionaries appointed by the Emperor to be what, in euphemistic phraseology, are called "municipal councillors" of Paris. The list, containing 60 names in all, comprises two senators, one vice-pre sident of the Council of State, four councillors of state, two judges of the Court of Caseation, two judges of the Imperial Court, one justice of the peace, two mayors, one assistant mayor, two ex government deputies thrown out at the last elec tions, and one director of the Comptoir d'Escompte. All but seven are chevaliers, officers, or commanders of the Legion of Honour. An official orator once affirmed in the Corps Legialatif that the govern ment only selected as municipal councillors for Paris men who were already designated by public . opinion, and that public opinion, if appealed to, would never fail to ratify their nomination. The beat proof that that speech was a vain boast is that the government perseveringly refuses to allow Paris to elect its own municipality. K Haussman's magnificent plans for spending the citizens' money are never controlled by anybody but his own chosen censors. It stands to reason that they are not likely to be very severe. Count Walewski's scheme for making copyright perpetual, which I always regarded as an absurdity, has been, notwithstanding its high patronage and its popularity among men of letters, finally knocked on the head by the Council of State. The Franc,: says that this rejection is "contrary to all expectation." No doubt a great many members of the republic of letters, seduced by au ad captanden; phrase, had brought themselves to believe that copyright in perpetuity was not only equitable but possible. I remember, however, affirming some two years ago that no responsible lawyers would ever succeed iu framing a bill which should make the principle harmonise with the French code. I took the unpopular aide of the question, but I am sure it was the common sense one. A new Bourbon alliance is announced. On October 15 in the Imperial Chapel at Rio de Janeiro the Princess Isabella, heiress to the Bra zilian throne, was married to the Count d'Eu, son of the Duke de Nemours. The count was gazetted on his wedding day an honorary marshal in the Brazilian army. The Seinaphorc of 3larscilles speaks of a new Mexican loan as being on the tapis, to be issued by a Mexican bank recently founded in London with a branch in Paris.

A reward of 1,0001. had been offered for his capture. He had been foamed, it is said, in unsuccessful speculations. The 51*n:settle Bank, after deducting this loam, has still • reserve of about 90,000/. The evidence which continues to be given before the Belfast Commission is of a piece with the testimony of the previous witnesses, the substance of whose opinions se to the necessity for altering the constitution of the police force has been already reported. The prevailing suggestion is that the Belfast police force should be placed, not under local but under government control, and that etipeniliary magistrates ought to be appointed. In the comes of Satur day's proceedings, Mr. Isaac Murphy, who had discharged seine of his mill workers because they had come to give evi dence, consented to take back the girls, on the friendly sug gestion of Mr. Barry, one of the commissioners; but Mr. Murphy at the same time protested his resolve not to allow his workpeople to appear as witnesses, lest it might renew among them the bad feeling from which his firm bad suf fered so much on former occasions.

The Recorder, in his charge to the grand jurY, sail the number of cases that would be brought before them during the present session was not at all large, and the nature of the cases generally was simpl , . and would call for very few remarks from him. lie was very sorry to have to allude to two cases of nor. der, one of which was against a woman for the murder of her latent child ; but the party being to ill to attend the case would not, is all probahilttv, be brought before th ,, , and he therefore would not allude to it any further. With ' regard to the second case, it was of a very peculiar ctio. racter. It appeared that the prisoner and another person I had a dispute in a public-house, in which the other pervou struck the prisoner, who seized a poker to retilide —but some one present took it away from him, and elI the parties sat down again quietly. . Shortly afterwards the deceased went into the room in which the psrtie• were seated, and after some little time sat down by the side of the person with whom the pri. super had quarrelled and both went to deep. The prisoner appeared to have again taken up the pokt r and stru. k both 'the deceased and the other man on the heaad with It- Whichever of the two it was the intention of the prisoner to strike the deceased man received the most severe blow and shortly afterwards died from the injury. The Recorder mil that supposing the prisoner had no intention of striking the deceased, he could not say that the ease would not come within the ! definition of murder, and unless these were other facts connected the case which did not appear in the depositions as they appeared before him the co* I was undoubtedly one of murder.
