The Federal preparations for another campaign, from the magnitude of the scale on which they are conceived, necessarily occupy • considerable amount of time. It is felt throughout the Northern States that in the effort to crush the rebellion they are now about to make economy would be waste, hesitation treason, and half-measures the certain means of ensuring total loss The spirit of Government and people repudiates all temporising counsels and expedients. Experience has taught many lessons during the last twelve months, but none more important than this—that in great affairs the truth is manifold, not single, and that however superior one system or class of expedients may be, it can never be so much better than all the rest as to render it safe or wise to rely upon it alone. The military organization which had its origin in the spontaneous enthusiasm of the nation furnished the executive in an incredibly brief apace with the material of an army vast in num bers, and, by the admission of the unfriendly critics, unsurpassed in the qualities that redeem masses of men under discipline from being mere machines. In the course of a few months the multitude of volunteers had become in most respects thoroughly drilled and capable of performing any evolutions that might be required of them in the field. Their bravery and endurance never were ;doubted, and both have been abundantly put to the proof. One essential characteristic, however, was overlooked, wherein the armies of the Potomac and the Missis sippi differed from the armies of the Old World. They were still volunteers—men who had quitted home and work, not for love of war or for sake of pay or bounty, but from • sense of patriotic duty, with the earnest hope that their days of soldiering might be few and effective, and with the determi nation that as soon as the honour and integrity of the Union were vindicated they would resume their peaceful avocations. They had not ceased to be citizens when they became soldiers ; on the con trary, their excellence as soldiers was in no small degree ascribable to their excellence as citizens, but every good has its drawbacks, and in the Federal army there has arisen within the last few weeks a serious cause of disorganization, and even of danger, springing directly, and, as it were, of necessity, from the very nature of that army. Furloughs were asked for and granted to an extent altogether unprecedented, and practi cally incompatible with the preservation of either contentment or confidence in the camp. Many regiments became so much weakened thereby as to require being combined temporarily with others; and when this could not be effected they were de prived of an insurmountable portion of their strategic usefulness The actual gross muster-roll of the Federal force, moreover, has been very seriously reduced, and the army has profited ma terially by the opportunity. The subject has at length fixed the attention of the Government, and by the time the harvest has been gathered in the Northern and Western States, orders of a peremptory kind will no doubt be issued reminding those now on leave of the want of their speedy return to the camp. We have no doubt that this appeal will be cheerfully re sponded to ; and that once again the Volunteer Corps will exhibit their original strength. But the War Department at Washing ton, once rendered sensible of the peculiar weakness of the system in which too exclusive a reliance has hitherto been placed, is resolved no longer to rest the sole defence of Federal authority upon Volun teers. The alternative of drafting contingents from the Local Militia into the general Army en gaged in active service has been decided on ; and it is officially announced that it will be proceeded with, if necessary, to the extent of three hundred thousand men. Meanwhile other lessons of experience have not been thrown away. Mr. Srauccros has been con vinced that the civil administration of the depart ment over which he presides is enough to tax to the full all his powers of mental and bodily labour. The general direction of military movements he has freely and wisely delegated to a professional head of the armies of the Republic, whose superintend ence and control is to extend over all, and whose functions will in many respects resemble those performed in time of war by our Com mander-in-Chief. General Hstssca has been summoned from the Western army to fill this new post in permanent war council at Washington. With great good sense and proper soldierlike feeling one of his first acts has been to visit the camp on the James River, and to confer unreservedly with General M'CLELLaw on the future course of opera tions which it may be best for the army of the Potomac to pursue. In this way all the practical wants of the army, and all the practical hindrances to its success, will have been photographed un erringly for the use of the Supreme Government : it were perhaps more correct to say that, by the instrumentality now adopted, the Cabinet of Washington will possess for military intelligence a departmental camera obscura, under the auspices of one who will know the value to attach to each moving forte, and the importance of each novel attitude. As another campaign seems now to be regarded as inevitable, it is not improbable that the strategic plans of that recently concluded may give place to THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 1862. others of a wholly different character. A belief that something of the kind is contemplated appears to prevail very generally. The momentous changes likely to ensue from the important steps towards emancipation taken by Congress at the instance of the Passings'r justify, and necessitate in fact, new tactics and a different species of strategy. We should not be surprised to hear ere long of movements based on calculations totally dissimilar from those which, six months ago, led to the con centration of a powerful army in the narrow and insalubrious delta formed by the rivers of Eastern Virginia. The capture of Richmond has not ceased to be desirable ; but its immediate importance will be lessened, while the eventual fall of the place may be rendered all the easier and more certain, by operations in a wider field. In the last campaign the chief part of the drudgery and exposure, so injurious to the health of the troops, was necessarily performed by men unused to a continuance of such harassing duty. They had left their comfortable and often times luxurious homes to march and fight, and they found themselves compelled for weeks, nay months, to undergo all the hardships and to ren der all the services of day labourers. There was no help for it, and seeing its necessity, the men of the North gallantly submitted to their dishearten ing and frequently debilitating toil. But there is an end to all this now. The negro population will everywhere rejoice at being allowed to perform the onerous labour upon which the strength of their liberators was heretofore spent, not in vain, but at deplorable coat. The available power of the Federals will in this way be immeasurably increased ; and with such augmentation of re sources the military plans of the coming campaign may be expected to assume proportions wider and more comprehensive than those just terminated. It does not seem to be the design of President Lisoomi to put arms at present into the hands of the emancipated slaves. They can obviously be more effectively employed in other ways, for which they are better fitted by the habits of their past lives, and which are not open to some of the ob jections and difficulties that would beset a pre mature attempt at enlisting them. ' LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (u-TIM'S Tama) THE GARIBALDIAN AGITATION. TURIN, AUGUST 15. The Official Gazette of to-day denies a report cur rent here that a demonstration had been made by the Italian squadron off Palermo by means of pla cards bearing the words " Rome or death." The authorities have taken measures to prevent a great demonstration which is being prepared in Messina. Garibaldi is still at Castrogiovanni, where volun teers are continually arriving. Their number is variously stated to be between 3,000 to 4,000. The royal troops oontinue their movements. The procurator of the King at Palermo has been dismissed for having quitted his post. The Monarchic Ncizionale of to-day says "Rumours are afloat that a demonstration is being organised in this city and will take place to-morrow." There is no truth in the statement made by a Turin paper that a portion of the Garibaldians had attempted to cross the Straits of Messina, but had been prevented by cruisers. THE BANK OF FRANCE.

OWN OM OWN COIRIMPONDEIII.) PARIS, THUBBOAT Enainara. Happening to be in • shop while • company of ' National Guards was marching by, on its way to the Champ de Mars, I asked the shopkeeper whether he was exempted from serving in the force. He replied no ; that be was a member of the body, but had obtained leave' of absence, because he was undergoing treatment for deafness ; and as evidence of his statement he pointed to some lumps of wool in his ears. I could not fail to observe, however, that he heard all I said, although I did not speak in a loud tone. He proceeded to be communicative, and, as I consider him a "representative man," I send you the substance of some of his remarks. He had been a member of the National Guard since its reorganisation after the coup d'etat. The only difference in the outward appearance was that they now wore white epaulettes and facings instead of red ; bnt at that time a rigorous triage (process of selection and eviction) was made, and no man was allowed to bear arms unless he was supposed to be a staunch Bonapartist. He I was chosen as a "good man." His neighbour op posite, of the same trade as himself, was rejected as a "bad one." In the course of time, however, opinions had undergone so many changes that the i l only broad line of distinction between the good and the bad was that the latter laughed at the former for being compelled to turn out in the sun and dust on National Guard duty, while they (the bad) were exempt. I did not think it delicate to ask my informant (who might have suspected me to be a spy had I betrayed any curiosity) the leading ques tion whether his personal opinions had undergone a radical change since 1852, but I could not help drawing an inference from the tone of his conver sation. He further told me that, notwithstanding the diminished numbers and select composition of the National Guard, the force had always been viewed with mistrust by the Emperor, who for that reason had never till this day passed it in review ; but that some time ago, when General Lawo3atine brought to the treasurer of the "Prince Imperial Orphan Society" a sum of 40,000 fr. as the sub scription of the National Guard of "'aria to the Empress's foundation, her Majesty warn so pleased that a promise was given spontaneously that the Emperor would review them on the first oppor tunity. Their presence on the Champ de Mars to-day is said to be the fulfilment of that promise. The question is asked—but I cannot yet give the answer—whether some battalions of the National Guard cried " Vive l'ltalie !" I was on the Champ de Mars, but of course could hear no cry.distinctly. It is computed that, taking the regular troops and the National Guard together, there were 60,000 or 70,000 men on the ground. The weather was fine, and not too hot. The Empress and the Imperial Prince drove through the lines a quarter of an hour after the Emperor's arrival, and took their places in the balcony of the Ecole Militaire. The France continues to lament that Ratazzi does not act with sufficient vigour against Gari baldi ; his "decrees," it says, such as the dis missal of prefects in Sicily who countenance the Dictator, are very good, but his "conduct is not sufficiently decided." M. Chaix d'Est Ange is dismissed from his office of Procurenr-General. The statement of the Moniteur that he is " called to other functions," is merely a phrase d PEspagnol, adopted here some times for the purpose of letting high functionaries down easily. A quarrel with M. Delangle, Minis ter of Justice, is the reason for his disgrace, and M. Delangle having got the upperhand, has the pleasure of counter-signing the downfall of a rival who probably hoped to supplant him. There were lately rumours of a ministerial modification which are now traced to this affair. M. Cordoen, chosen by the Emperor to succeed M. Chaix d'Est Ange, is a poor substitute for his brilliant predecessor, being • mere lawyer, and not • very great one either. The principal achievement of his 'professional life was the prosecution of Montalembert, in which he distinguished himself by a bitter but by no means eloquent attack upon England and the liberty of her "public meetings," which the accused had been guilty of extolling. The government must have some cogent reasons for wishing to keep back news from Mexico. Con trary to all precedent, the mails brought by the Florida to St. Nazaire were all brought on to Paris, instead of the bags being dropped at the principal stations on the way. There is great ex citement and discontent on the subject at Nantes. It is, indeed, extraordinary that • great commercial town situate within an hour and a half of the port, and having special relations with the American continent, should be obliged to wait for its letters while they are sent arbitrarily on a promenade half over France and back. e News has been received of the Echo aviso, com ing from Saigon, with Captain de Lavergne and the treaty with the Hub government on board. It was for some time feared that the vessel must have been lost ; but it now appears that she met with an accident between Singapore and Ceylon, and that the captain embarked in one of the Peninsula arid Oriental packets which is expected at Suez very soon. The Chronique de l'Ouest mentions that a large and highly-esteemed banking-house at Sable, near Le Mans (Sarthe), has been compelled to suspend payments in consequence of the disappearance of the cashier, who has taken with him securities to a considerable amount. The Constitutionnel, in speaking of the Count de Chambord's sudden departure from London, quotes the following extract from a letter written in that city : The partisans of the fusion who had founded strong hopes on the visit of the Count de Chambord to London are very much disappointed. The count, after long new Cations, obtained an interview of Queen Marie-Amilie, but on the express condition that it should preserve exclusively the character of • family visit ; that the princes, her sous, should not be present, and that all political questions should be set aside. The Duke a nd Duchess of Montpensier met the Count de Chambord at the Exhibition, and appeared not to recognise him. The Count de Paris and the Duke de Chartres were also in the building at the same time as their relative, but did not meet him. The Duke d'Aumale had left London, in order, it is said, to render any meeting impossible. The Count de Chambord, offended at this attitude of the Orleans family towards him, left England two days sooner than be had at first intended. WHOLESALE DESTRUCTION OF FISH —A abort time ago we announced the breaking of the temporary bridge at Commies Coch, the submerging of the engine, and the death of the driver, Henry Clough . Hpoo the pre ''ant occasion we have to report the fall of what was in. tended to be the permanent structure, which took place on Wednesday last by a brick arch giving way, being com pletely broken down by the weight of soil which had been placed upon it The lose to the °outsider is estimated at about 5004, besides the delay which it involves in the opening of the line. But the story is as yet but half told. To the finny tribes inhabiting the Dovey the consequence of the fall has been terrific. The large quantities of lime which was used in the structure has been the death of thousands upon thousands of fish, and lots of salmon. sewing, trout, have been destroyed. A fisherman reports that tons upon tons have been deetroyed, and that such a wholesale destruction of fish was sairoely ever seen.

The Malta brought the mails to Suez, arriving there yesterday. The Northam, with the London mail of the 20th to 281 h June, left Gallo for Australia on the 23rd July. ITALY. In consequence of the agitation in Italy the Patric states that the Austrians are strengthening all the military posts on the frontiers of their Italian territory. The line of Grazie, Montanan, Borgo forte, Suzzara, and Gonzsga is guarded by two bat talions of the 40th and 50th Regiments. The Hun garian garrisons of Ostiglia, Rovere, and Sermide have been changed. Troops are being concentrated at Rovigo, which is the base of the defensive line of the Po. The works of the three forts that are being built round the town are proceeding rapidly, and will soon be completed. All the houses within the cannon range of these forts have been pulled down. A Palermo journal (the Compana della Gamin) says that the King's proclamation has caused a " painful emotion" in the island. This Garibaldian organ initiate that, by virtue of the pact which unites the Sicilian people to the monarchy, the elect of the nation is bound not to ask for Rome, but to take it." It concludes as follows : What we want is Rome, and not French bondage. We want Rome, and not brigands. We want Rome, and not diplomatic notes. We want Rome, and not lies. We will have Rome or death. The Paris Pattie pretends to be " able to affirm" that Baron Ricasoli's friends know nothing of a letter said to have been written by him, in which he takes part with Garibaldi. But it is quite clear that the Pattie knows nothing on the subject, and merely echoes, without acknowledging its authority, a hesitating denial given by the Turin Gazette, and which does not command implicit belief at Turin. The following version of Baron Ricasoli's declaration, which differs somewhat from those published in other quarters, is given by the Lombardo : The monarchy is in danger. Its only chance of salvation is now to follow that movement of Garibaldi which it had not the sagacity to initiate. For my own part I declare, on the part of myself and my political friends, that we are ready either to follow or to lead this agitation, which is the offspriag of neceeeity—the necessity for or to have Rome. Whether the above letter be authentic or not, the immense sensation it ham created in Italy augurs ill for the stability of the Ratazzi cabinet. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 11th state that the Queen, in her excursion to the South, will visit Cordova, Seville, and Cadiz, remaining acme little time at Seville with her sister the Duchess de Montpenaier. The Epoca, in its account of the proposed tour, says:—" Her Majesty will avoid going by sea through a patriotic feeling, in order not to pass before Gibraltar over which floats a standard that is not that of Spain." POLAND. The Grand Duke Constantine, on the occasion of the baptism of his son, gave 3,000 roubles to the poor of Warsaw. The Grand Duke and the Czarewitch Alexander Alexandrowitch, eon of the Emperor Alexander, have visited the Marquis Wielopolski, to congratulate him on having miracu lously escaped the attempted assassination. A letter from Munich, dated August 10, nays : "The Duke Philip of Wurteasburg, who has been staying here for same days, is geseaslly looked upon as the future husband of the Priam, Sophie Charlotte, youngest daughter of Duke ➢faximilian of Bavaria, and the marriage in shortly expected to take place. Duke Philip is a grand- son of the late Louis Philippe, as his mother, who died in 1839, was the consort of Duke Alexander of Wartemburg, and was the oldest daughter of the then King of the French. The Princes Sophie is sister to the Empress of Austria, and to the ex-Queen of Naples, and thus, by her marriage with Duke Philip of Wurtembarg, the Orleans family will be brought into near alliance with the imperial family of Austria and with the Bourbons." ebe eroun. BALMORAL, Avoun 13. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Hoheulohe and Prince Arthur, drove out yesterday. Princess Helena, attended by the Marchioness of Ely, went out riding. Despatches were received yesterday at the tkdonial-ottice from the Governor of Canada. Intelligence from Darmstadt of August 12 says ;—" The Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse left Darms tadt yesterday, to pass a short time at the °sidle of Furs tenlager, at Auerbach, the summer residence of the grand duke. Their royal highnesses were received at the railway station there by the governmental officials, and at the en trance of the village (which was prettily decorated) by the clergy, the authorities of the district, and by girls clothed in white, who presented flowers to their distinguished visitors. Their royal highnesses, who were in every respect most heartily greeted, drove to their destination under a canopy of flap suspended from the trees on their ronte.". His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge is expected at Plymouth shortly on an official visit, and it is maid will, during his stay, lay the foundation stone of the New Sailors' Barracks. The Right Hon. the Lord Chancellor arrived at Plymouth is the schooner yacht Rattlesnake on Wednes day, which was towed into harbour by the government steam-tug Pike, and anchored off the dockyard. The Secretary of War, Sir G. C. Lewis, is among the official visitors to Plymouth, and was to be present yesterday at the laying of the foundation stone of the new fort on Staddon Heights. The Earl of Granville (says Galignani) has ar rived at the Hotel Mirabean, Paris ; also, the Right Hon. J. E. Denison, Speaker of the House of Commons, en route for Switzerland. The Duke de Loaada has left Brown's Hotel for Paris. The Marchioness of Lothian has arrived at Brown's Hotel, Dover-street. The Fact and Countess of Hopetoun come to town to-day from Paris. The noble earl and countess will leave town to-morrow tor Scotland. The Earl and Countess of Hardwicke are enter taining a select party at Sydney Lodge, Herts. The Earl of Fingal has arrived at the Queen's Hotel, Upper Norwood. Colonel and Lady Florence Cn3t left town on Wednesday for Ashridge-perk, on a visit to Lady Marian Alford.

Dr. Staley, the Bishop of Honolulu, and family, with the Rev. G. Mason and the Rev. E. Ibbotson, will sail in the Tasmania steamer, from Southampton, on Monday next, for Panama, ea route for the islands. The bishop has appointed the Rev. E. L. Cutts, M.A., incumbent of Billericay, EMI, to be com missary and secretary to the mission. THE BISHOP OP EXETER AND HIS Hio 011AIME11.—The Bishop of Exeter has just filed a bill in Chaneery against the Rev. Reginald Neale Shutte, M.A., of Gonville and Caine College, Cam bridge, rector of St. Mary-steps, in the city of Exeter, and Messrs. Saunders and Otley, of Brook-street, London, to restrain them from publishing a life of himself which nag been announced. It appears that some weeks ago the Rev. Mr. Shutte wrote • very polite letter to the bishop, asking him to furnish some letters written by his lordship on political and ecclesiastical affairs from 1813 to 1858, stating that he wished to have them for pub- litiatiou in • "life" of the bishop which he had in preparation, and which Messrs. Saunders and Otley bad engaged to publish. The bishop peremptorily refused to furnish such letters, adding, "1 believe you are the only person who would announce such an intention to me with out at the same time asking my consent. Be this as it may, I decline altogether communicating with you ou the mat ter." Mr. Sbutte, after some angry correspondence, de dared his intention of fulfilling his engagements with the publishers, and preparing the work. The following is the bill which the bishop thereupon filed :—" 1. That the de. fendanta, Reginald Neale Shutte, Simon Saunders, and Ed ward John Otley, and their servants, agent., and workmen, may be restrained by the order and in junction of this honourable court from prioting or publish ing any letters written or sent by the plaintiff to any cor respondents or oorrespoodeet, or other persons or person, or soy copies of or extracts from such letters, or any other writings of the plaintiff. 2.

The number of excursionist, by the Great Western Railway yes terday was 2,500. The Council of the Society of Arts have decided to invite the opinion of the jurors, the commis sioners for the colonies and for foreign countries, and the exhibitors at the International Exhibition on the question of awards of merit in connexion with international exhibitions. A series of ques tions on this subject has been drawn up, a copy of which will be furnished to any exhibitor on appli cation by letter to the secretary of the Society of Arts, Adelphi, London.

The annual meeting of this association was held on Wednesday hut; Earl Formant in the chair. There was agood attendance of members,and the association was favoured with the presence of Baron Czoernig, Chief of the Statistical Department of Austria, &c. The annual report and the financial accounts of the emaciation were read and received. The report stated that the object aimed at by the emaciation, viz., an uniform decimal system of weights, measures, and coins in all countries, is rapidly advancing. The decision of the Committee of the House of Commons in favour of the metric system was held to be a great triumph, as that system is in reality a good realising point where all nations can meet. The thanks of the association were awarded to the foreign governments which have sent their contributions to the display of weights, measures, and cur. rent coins at the Intern►tional Exhibition, and after some further routine bwiiness the Berea Caaeruig made an in. teresting speech to the following effect : - . It has often been said of Austria that she has surrounded herself with a second Chinese wall, in order to prevent by a prohibitory system the progress made elsewhere and the entrance of foreign goods. If it can be denied that such au insurmountable wall existed, it must be confessed that there have been ramparts which offered obstacles to international trade. But now all this is changed. The progress of civilisation has overthrown these ramparts, and has caused the onward progress of good and prosperous ideas. Now Austria finds herself in possession of all those free institutions which can be expected of a well-regulated country. We enjoy religious liberty, inasmuch es all re ligious sects have the same right and privileges, the Jews sitting in the House of Lords as well as in the Commons. Further, Austria enjoys political liberty, eines his reign ing Majesty, Francis Joseph, of his own will, gave his people • free constitution, as far as practicable, drawn out after the British modal, inasmuch as we have the same social elements as in England, such as a rich and enlightened aristocracy, and straight forward and industrious inhabitants in our boroughs and towns. The freedom of the press is without restriction, and per. liberty is more reepected in Austria than in any other part of the continent, for so soon as one has crossed the frontiers of the country he is at liberty to go where he will without being asked who he is or where he is going. Liberty of trade leaves every one to choose unconditionally his occupation, end for the most par i t t it is owing to this liberty that Austria at the present Fr 'halloo occupies that position which has been accorded to her by the kind judg ment of England, and with universal approbation. The baron expressed himself most gratefully on behalf of all Austrians for the many proofs of favour and friendly sup port given to them during the Exhibition, and stated that the sympathy of the Austrian people was thus increased towards the English nation—a nation that stands at the head of liberty and industrial progress. Not only is this prohibitory system done away with and • well-regulated customs tariff with very moderate duties sub stituted, but Austria has just declared herself reedy to enlarge the circle of free trade by proposing to join the German Zollverein, with the expire object of furthering the general union of trade throughout Central Europe, in cluding Great Britain and Franos. Amongst those institutions which further free trade,stsnds the adoption of an international unity of money, weights, and measures. Austria considers this not merely as the simple means for the development of trade, but as the means for binding together • civilised people, in aiding pro gress and overthrowing the last obstacle which obstructed their advancement. It is always difficult to overthrow old fashioned customs, and to introduce new instruments of trade, especially when such instruments are weights and measures to be reconstructed on the bads of the decimal system. As regards coins, the German convention, which intro duced equal stand ards for seventy millions of people, seised the opportunity to bring in the decimal system, by dividing the form into 100 parts or kreuzers. At the same time the decimal weight (1 lb. -= f t kilo.) was taken in Austria as the basis for collecting the customs, and the same decimal weight was introduced into all the great mercantile opera tions, steamboat and railway traffic, &c. It is worthy of notice that the change in the weight in trade was effected without any difficulty, and that no inconvenience was experienced. In Venetia the decimal system existed ever since its in troduction during the French occupation. Therefore in that part of the empire Austria has altered nothing. Under the auspices of the German Union • commission was formed to inquire into the best means for introducing equalisation of weights and measures in all Germany. This commission took the decimal system as the basis of their consideration, and the arrangements of the different govern ments are still pending, and it is to be hoped will soon be drawn to a satisfactory conclusion. TRADE OF TEI NORTII-Eger POSTS. —The Cue tom House returns show a very general falling off in trade from the north-east ports in the month of July. In that month 202,190 tons of coals were shipped over sea from New castle, against 232,167 in the same month of 1861 ; 60,828 tons were shipped from Hartlepool, against 68.628 tone 13,914 against 17,216 tons from Blytb, and 10,343 agar! 16,922 from Middlesborough. There was a slight increase in the abiomenta from Sunderland in July—vie., 110,744 against 10 9 . 688 in July. 1861 ; 189,555 tone of coals were sent from Newcastle to London, and coastwise in July ; 163.860 from Sunderland., and 122,023 toss from Hartle pool. Newcastle shows an Maras of 14,4201. is the vales of goods other than coals and coke exported in July ; Mid dlesborough, 13.311/4 but the Hartlepools a decrease of 4372101.; and Sunderland a decrease of 6,1571. *ATAL CRINOLINE ACC I DENT. —Dr. Lankester, the coroner for Central Middlesex, held an inquest at the 1 Bank of England Tavern, Cambridge-place, Paddington, yes terday, touching the death of Mrs. Sarah Padley, 18 years of age, residing at 6, Buckingham-terrace, Bayswater. 1 1 Thomas Spencer, a lodger at 6, Buckingham-terror, de posed that on Sunday, at 11.20 a.m., he heard load sellerni I issuing from a room on the flnt-floor. He ran to the spot and found the clothes of the decreed in flames. He seised& piece of carpet from the floor, enveloped her in it, and threw her upon the larding, which means he succeeded in extin guishing the fire b efore life was quite extinct, bat not until every part of the drew of the deceased, except her boor, was completely consumed. The body was frightfully burnt. Two rooms had been sat on fi re. On the arrival of the husband (who was absent at the time) immediately slier wards he set to work to extinguish the fire, and succeeded in doing so. Maria Mara, a sister of the decreed, said she was wearing at the time a muslin dress, extended by crinoline, and having occasion to cross the room the skirt of her dress got ivited from the fire in a grate. The Games spread rapidly Wore assistance arrived. The coroner rid it was, as be feared, one of those numerously distressing casualties from the use of the dangerous crinoline. Sack cases gep.al we y re a. v p e po.sd ry much bte.m.eore, beingo .7 ;B .o th :o n ... the n, public of them were never reported in the public journals. If every fatal crinoline accident were reported, the public would know of than, and then he felt assured that armoire would soon be abandoned. The jury, acting upon a geelion from the coroner, returned a verdict of " Accidard dear through wearing crinoline." ENGLISH AND AMERICAN ARISTOCRACY. (From the New York Timex.) Two events have occurred recently in England which are nvificant of the state of public feeling toward America. CM the annual commemoration day of the founders of Oxford, the students are in the habit, le," the usual address is delivered, of cheering and hieing the different names of popular or odious public men as they are proposed. The name of Garibaldi had been cheered, and that of Napoleon both cheered and biased, when some one shouted out the name of "Jefferson Davis ;" it was re. mitred with tumultuous and unanimous applause. " Pred. dent Lincoln" was proposed, and it was greeted with hew and groans. The other incident to which we allude was the public meeting, already described in our columns, of the operatives in Manchester—the hard-working, pinched, hungry masses of men in the cotton and other manufactures of that city. They were called together to hear a proposal from a mem ber of parliament, that the English government should in tervene in the American civil war —nominally for the aka al pesos, but really to establish the Southern c e pr e d eme y, These men had been the great sufferers from our war ; their wives and children were crying vainly at home for breed to feed them, while all their aristocratic teachers assured them they had but to acknow ledge the South, and cotton would pour in its stream of labour sod wealth to them. They had heard continually from the higher chases that the only objects of the North were power and territory, and that the South were but orating the rights of the declaration of independenc e , and struggling for liberty. With these fallacies before them, with hunger and want behind them. the operatives of Man chester reversed the whole object of the meeting, rejected the proposition of Mr. Hopwood, pained a motion, with im. manse applause, in favour of presernng the American Union and supporting the policy of President Lincoln. We would not exaggerate the importance of either of these events--certainly not of the first. Still they may be masidered m names ce the mem at English - opinion. The kabinet at prams of the people his struck through to the esnetial character of our civil war. The sons of the '&l=w—those whose fathers and animators have become rich and powerful, either by burdens laid on the people or by wealth taken from them ; who dread, beyond ell things, the equal elevation of the mane* with theme's," ..1; hate the very name of democracy—these naturally 61 for the so-called aristocrats of Amines—the nobility of the slave-pen and the plantation. They feel uncomciously, or they have heard it at home, that the same struggle is raging on American soil which has couvubed Europe, and will convulse it spin —the struggle between those who would raise up the lowest classes to the rights and privileges of humanity, and those who would dente them for their own base purposes. They see well that the stupendous conflict which u deco. biting a continent is no causeless and unmeaning struggle, but is indeed the clashing of principle; ; that this, even as the first French revolution, is eseentially a war of demo. many against privilege ; for the rights of man spinet the immunities of a class. The triumph of the North would be the triumph of democracy, and they dread it (very ressombly) almost as they mould a revolution of the British masses themselvee. The success of the South would be the ruin of the American republican experiment, and would throw back the popular party in Europe for a century ; therefore they pray for it and cheer its rebellions leader. They are perfectly right and mine able. The victory of the North would give a shock to aris tocratic privileges in England. from which they would never recover. Reform, popular aufror l the abo li tion of a state church, the elevation of the wor claims, would be, in the future, the possible English rem ta of our MOON& No wonder that the boys of the universities shout for a slave holding confederacy and the treat repudiator. On the other hand, • portion of the working classes— those who think for themselves—feel at once that the rational cause in America and the popular cause in England are one Though temporarily we deprive them of breed, with • noble instinct they feel that we are really striking for them and the rights of mankind against mete and power. As Mr. Lincoln mid in his menage, "they know that the destruction of the American Republic, whatever else it may mean —means no pod to the common people." While an army of the miMe classes are hoodwinked by the aristocracy, or are blioded by national jea lousy and sellehnees, not looking under the surface of events here, and seeing the real struggle of great ideas beneath party cries and official proclamations, the heart of the English masses disoorn the truth as by instinct. They see in the Southern leaders not merely °proems of the negro, but oppeasaotl of mankind. The victory of our government is to them the victory of universal suffrage, of republicanism, liberty and justioe to the poor ; all for which the people have struggled so long in Europe. The triumph of the South is, to their clear vision, the triumph of a privileged few—the basest aristocracy ever formed, conspi mons for ferocity, cruelty, and meannein—grown rich on the sale of human bodies, and fattened by the blood of the poor. FEROCIOUS ASSAULT UPON TWO POLICE OFFICERS. At the New Bailey, Manchester, yesterday, two men, named Patrick Wheaten and Dennis Brady, wen brought up, charged with being concerned in an assault upon two bailiffs and two officers of the police force. On Tues&e, about noon, two bailiff, of the County Court persuaded to the house of the pnsooer Wheelan, to make • seizure under a warrant. The goods had been seized, when the bailiffs were samulted, and driven out of the house. They applied at the New Bailey on Wednesday for war rants against their mailman, and about noon returned to Wheelan's house, accompanied by . Police-constables Shaw sod Wallace. The goods were again aired, and this time placed upon • cart, but the prisoner shouted to some com rades who worked at the same place, and they assaulted the officers and bailiffs, and replaced the goods in the home. The prisoner and his comrades waited at the steelworks of Mr. Norton, Albion-street, Newton Heath. The officers who had been assaulted communicated with Inspector Richmond, and he, accompanied by Sergeant Bent, proceeded to the works about 5 o'clock in the afternoon to apprehend some of the men concerned in the slimy. One man, who was identified, was laid hold of by Sergeant Bent. The man attempted to seize • hammer to strike the officer, but was immediately prevented. He then called to the men in the yard to come to his assistance. At ooce about 40 men ran to the impactor and the sergeant, some of them armed with iron ban, and one carried • red-hot bar in his hand. Inspector Richmond was struck with this bar about the head and nack,and was burnt severe'y. Sergeant Bent was thrown on his back, and held down while the hot bar was forced into his mouth. To save himself, be laid hold of the bar with one of his hands, which was burnt very seriously. Besides this, he received • blow on the head which inflicted a wound about three inches in length and penetrated to the bone. All the men got away then, but the prisoners were subsequently apprehended, as two who had taken part in the a ff air. In consequence of the savage nature of the assault, both Richmond and Bent were unable to appear in court ; and it will be several days before Bent will be able to leave his bed. The prisoners were remanded in custody until Saturday, when, if Bent is out of danger, they will be admitted to bail until the follow. log Tuesday. Mr. W. P. Roberta appeared for the pri soners. The excitement in the neighbourhood where the affray took place was so great that Superintendent Chad wick was obliged to put additional men on the district 1 through the night. Measures will be taken for the appre hension of all the men implicated. IRT.—(rius DAY.) PREDAY, ACQUIT B L.Y. L L IL D. 1. 41 L 8. 3 .
