LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 21, 1866. AMERICA. (aaosa • a nuaisx.) (Per the Peruvian rid Greencastle.) NEW YORK, Auca ls? 10, EVIUTING. Governor Wells, of Louisiana, has issued an address justifying the assembling of the Free State Convention in New Orleans, and declaring that its opponents had concerted a plan to break it up by force. He states that the rebel feeling of the slaveholding aristocracy is not yet extinguished, and that they seek to retain political power by the same spirit of political violence by which their chiefs sustained their supremacy before the war, If the military be withdrawn he declares the lives of Union men will not be safe. Military law prevails in New Orleans, and the sale of arms and ammunition is forbidden. A member of the Free State Convention has made affidavits, charging the mayor and sheriff with complicity in homicide during the riots. The inspector of the Freedmen's Bureau reports that the system of contracts enforced by the Bureau is simply slavery in a modified Mr. Davis's health is rapidly declining.

It was rumoured that Maximilian was preparing to leave the country. CARDINAL CULLEN'S RECEPTION Morn the Dublin Evening Mail.) Cardinal Cullen held a reception to-day (Mon day) at Holy Cross Collage, Melillo, near Dublin, conse quent upon the acquisition of his new dignity in the Roman catholic church. The rece pti on was held in the spacious building mentioned, which be extensive grounds attached to it. Preparations had been in progress for some time for the event, and with this view the college has been re-decorated and ornamented. The corridors, which have been newly painted, were hung with pictures for the occa sion, and Belioni's statue of the Pope, which wason view at the International Exhibition, occupied a prominent place in the grand entrance hall. In the reception ball a throne was erected in crimson upholstery, ornamented with yellow fringe. Crimson hangings were suspended from the front windows, and from the upper portions of the building variousfiags and pendants were displayed. Flags bearing the Cardinal's arms were also interspersed through the lawn in front, and the banners of several Roman catholic religious confraternities arranged on either side of the entrance. 11 o'clock was the how appointed for the holding of the reception, and by that hour many members of the several Roman catholic religious commu nities had arrived, wearing the habits of their respective orders. The grounds were thrown open to the public, but at an advanced hour of the day many had not availed themselves of the privilege. On the arrival of Cardinal Cullen he was cheered by those present. His eminence was received by the president of the college and several dignitaries of the Roman catholic church, and was con ducted to the throne in the reception halL Several bishops and dignitaries occupied positions on the dais, on either side of the cazdthaL Various addresses were then presented to his eminence at intervals, to which he replied severally. After the presentation of • long address from the clergy, Cardinal CULLTY said he was sorry that he had had no time to prepare a proper answer to this valued address. He had to return his sincere thanks for their kind wishes and congratulations on his promotion to the Roman purple. He felt that he had no claims or merits that would entitle him to the distinguished honour which his Holiness had been pleased to confer on him ; be felt sensibly that he was a useless servant. However, his Holiness had determined to promote him, and, therefore, however unworthy he might be, he considered himself bound to accede to the wishes of his Holiness, because he understood perfectly well that it was not a mere compliment to himself that was intended. It was a mark of his appreciation which he was happy to give to Ireland—the country which had firmly struggled for the faith, and had always pre served its fidelity to the Holy See; and a mark of his esteem and respect for all the clergy of Ireland. Ireland had always been attached to the Holy See, but more especially at present did the Pope stand in need of this attachment. The spirit of revolution was triumphant in those states which had supported him. Austria, the last state, was now almost completely ruined, and the Emperor of the French held the hands of his friends, while his enemies were stripping him of everything he had. Now the Emperor was about to leave him at the mercy of the Italians, who were distinguished by the fiercest hatred to everything catholic. Very possibly, within six months, this crisis would come about. Under thine circumstances, Cardinal Cullen concluded, it behoves them to continue their zeal and attachment to his Holiness. About 10 o'clock the general reception commenced, and from that hour large numbers of persons were arriving, mostly belonging to the middle and lower grades of the middle classes. Amongst those who attended were : The Lord Mayor and LadyMayorets,Mr..Justiceollrien, The O'Donoghue, M.P. ; Sir John Gray, M.P. ; Sir Percy . Nugent, Bart. ; the Right Hon. W. H. F. Cogan, M.P. ; Mr. J. B. Dillon, M.P. ; Mr. Butt, Q.C. ; Mr . Psiles, barrister-at-law ; Alderman John Reynolds, Alderman TarjoYi The crowd in the front of the college increased as the day advanced, and private bands which were in attendance performed at intervals a selection of popular music, in cluding " Slap bang, here we are again," " The whole hog or none," and The Sprig of Shillelagh." In the course of the day Cardinal Cullen appeared on the balcony over the portico, and gave his blessing to the concourse of persons kneeling on the lawn. . . another army, and many men have . joined his standard ; , and Abdool Rabin= Khan is at Chusnee for the purpose of driving back any enemy that may come from the Candi.- - --- -- bar direction.

TO HIS KICILLENCT SIR JOHN P....013ANT, 1L.C.8., OOTTANOS THE SHOOTING SEAMON.—The reports we hear from many parts of the country are anything but encou raging. In many districts of Scotland whole uroods have been carried off by the disease, though, in others, to use the words of our informant, " the broods nearly approach the average." In one part of Scotland " grouse are posi tively scarce ;" while on some of the l'orkshire moors they are said to be rather beyond the average. On one moor in the north of Derbyshire, with which we are per sonally acquainted, the nests which were seen were fairly full of eggs, and as the grouse were setting " deep" at the time of the frosts in the month of April, they lit been tle harm. The weather there, however , very wet and stormy during the last fortnight and consequently, the gratae are beginning to " pack" already, as many as from 30 to 50 having been seen together. The broods there are about the usuel size via., consisting of seven or eight young ones. The report: we have seen in some of oar contemporaries about the " broods in Scotland averaging 10 or 12, axe, we imagine, calculated upon about the same data as the distances at which we hear occasionally of their being killed, and we are pretty well able to form our own opinion as to the width of margin required fur imagination. We would venture to assert, and we do so advisedly, that if the broods on a moor average seven or eight, it has more than its average share. Pheaaents in Derbyshire have not fared so well. They had not begun to set at the time of the 1 April frosts, and consequently in many nests more than 1 half the eggs were frosted. Bares on the low lands have I done well, and a fair average rosy, therefore, be expected on the moor. In the wet, rushy enclosures there has been about the usual number of snipes' newts. From Norfolk we learn that the game prospects are enanung ing, though not so great as they once promised to be, the early rains having destroyed many of the young birds, and although very unary good coveys are to be met with it is no uncommon oocurrence to hint them consisting of only two or three young birds. Bares appear to be more abundant than last year, but pheasants less so, notwith standing so many are batched under hens. From Kent we kern that the coveys generally are of good size, and very plentiful, and the young birds strong, forward, and healthy. There are of course ' spotty " places with barren birds, as there always are. In some parts of that county great numbers of young birds were destroyed by the heavy thunder showers, many of them having been found actually sticking in the mud, from which they could not with draw their feet. The nides of pheasants are reported to . be up to the average, many of them consisting of from seven to ten, and very strong and healthy. ' In parts of Surrey, however, loud uouipliunta are made of . a kind of distemper among the partridges, several young ones being found dead, and completely wasted away. An old keeper assured us he had " never seen the like " be fore. Flom Somereetshirc we learn that birds are " very plentiful," the coveys being large, and the young ones strong on the wing, so that they de not appear to have suffered at all from the rains, es in many other parts of the country. Pheasants are reared in vast numbers, like bare-door fowls, in the preserves, and this year are nume row., strong, and healthy,though they can hardly be called game in this artificial state of birth and education. Hares, however, in that part of the country, says our informant, are not nearly so numerous as formerly. On the whole, We axe inclined to think that the present season may be looked upon as rather beyond the avenge in the south, but ia the north we fear it will be found to be rather be low it. —Land and Water. THE SourrnsH FisHEEHut.—The report of the Commissioners for the British Fisheries its just beea issued for the year 1865. It relates exclusively to Scot land and the Isle of Man, to which alone, notwithstand ing the designation of the Beard of Commissioners, its care now extends. Whatever may be thought of the powers with which the board is invested, or the p re p r in t I of their continuance, the statistics which they furnish year by year are valu able, and it is to be regretted that we have no similar statistics of the English fisheries. The herring fishing of 1086 has not been equal to that of seve ral previous years, although, from the high prices of cared herrings, it proved very advantageous to the fishermen and cetera.

It is intended, in addition to the open air proceedings I , to hold a meeting in the Town hall in the evening ; but whether this assembly will take the form of a town's meeting or soirée has not yet been determined. MEETING AT GLORSOP.—An open air reform meeting was held on Saturday evening, in Norfolk equare, Glossop, under the auspices of the local branch of the National Reform Union. Mr. Son. Woodsoek took the chair, and, in the course of hie remarks, ridiculed the fear of the propertied classes, who said that if the working men ware enfranchised the whole power of the country would be centered In them, and that one of their first acts would be to divide the land of the rich, and swamp those institutions under wkich we have become a great and powerful nation. He contended that working men had the deepest interest in peace and good government ; and that, as a nation, we had grown great and prosperous, not because of but in spite of the laws which stupid torvism had imposed. The meeting was afterwards addressed by Mr. Mark Price and Mr. John Wainwright, who attended a deputation from Manchester, and resolutions were passed, expressing confidence in Ituesell, Gladstone, Bright, Stuart Mill, and those liberals who, in parliament, earned out the pledges given on the hustings ; but condemnation of those recreant liberals whose votes brought back to power a party to whom the people never had and never can have any confidence.
