The war foretold by seers in London and prophets in Liverpool has commenced ; the slave has stood in arms against his master ; Fede ral gunboats have penetrated the creeks and inlets of Secesaiondom, and blood has been shed. As the prediction of these events was found so inter esting, we may expect that the narrative of the occurrence will be read with some attention. We have heard so much of what an American "servile " war" was sure to be, there were so many good reasons for feeling certain that it would prove something entirely different from former wars on the same continent in which slaves had been em ployed as soldiers, that everybody must wish to know what the war, now it has happened, is like. The letter of an eyewitness, which we print this morning, will enable our readers to compare the facts with the fancy sketches which the imagina tions of Englishmen in sympathy with slaveowners have brought forth. Two facts, in complete conformity with all part experience, are established by Colonel BEARD'S ex pedition into Florida and Georet. The first is, that the liberated negro, after all that the "chivalry " have done to degrade his moral nature to the level of the brutal lot down to which they forced him, makes a cool, courageous, and most obedient soldier. The second is, that where the negro slave has reason to hope that he will be aided by a regular Government in obtaining his freedom, he will bide his time with patience, and irregular outbreaks, with their attendant horrors, will not be heard of. THE SEE OF YORK.—WHITEHALL, DEC. 4.—The Queen has been pleased to order a doge d'dire to pass the Great Seal of the United Kingdom of Crest Britain and Ireland, empowering the Dean and Chapter of the Cathe dral and Idetrapolitical Church of York to elect an Archbishop of that See, the same being void by the translation of the Most Reverend Father in God DO Charles Thom , Longley, late Archbishop thereof, is the Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Canterbury ; and her Majesty has also been pleased to recommend to the said dean cud chapter the Right Rev.

BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, DEC. 4.—The Right Hon. the lairds of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade have received, from the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a notice issued by the Portuguese Board of Heelth, declaring the port off Rio de Janeiro to be considered suspected of infection with yellow fever and with cholera since the 2 1 1th October last.

When Colonel BEARD showed himself among the blacks at Fernandina and asked for recruits for the coloured regiment, BUNTER'S South Carolina Volunteers, one hundred at once pre sented themselves. Of these, however, he could only accept twenty-five, who left the harbour amidst the congratulations and benedictions of their friends. A few miles from port, when the men were mustered, it was found that the twenty-five had become fifty-four, nine-and-thirty having got on board by stratagem. These men, being asked why they had thus surreptitiously joined the party, excused themselves by saying, " We want to fight for our liberty, and " for the liberty of our wives and children." When asked whether they would dare to face their old masters, they replied at once, " We would fight to " the death to get our families." There was more than this in their desire. The American negro thoroughly understands and profoundly feels the fixed policy of the Southern white in keeping him from situations where he may exhibit the qualities of the free man ; and these men ardently desired to have an opportunity of showing that they were worthy to be soldiers. At King's Bay, Georgia, a detachment of 30 men of the negro regiment were for the first time under fire. They were in small boats, at a good distance from the steamer, when the enemy rushed out of the thick woods and bred at them at a distance of 50 yards. They, however, loaded, and fired coolly and incessantly until safe on board the steamer. On its way the Darlington picked up and brought off numerous families of slaves. At St. Mary's they took in two families, and at Simon's Bay 50 women and children, who were deposited in a place of safety. The river Sapelo is bordered with plantat'ons, from which many of the volunteers had made their escape, and on which they had left their fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, wives, and children, with a promise to return " if the good " LORD just open the way." As the Darlington steamed up the river one after anotherof the black liberators was heard crying out, " Oh ! master, " my wife and children live there," " There is " my brother," or " There stands my sister." The steamer visited plantation after plantation. At that of Mr. REUBEN KING they found the negroes standing on the banks. The muter was in the verandah observing the strange scene. The slaves looked hillier and thither, now at the steamer and now at him. But no sooner did the Darlington turn her head to the shore, giving them assurance of protection, than fifty-two slaves rushed to the boat, praising GOD and blessing their deliverers ; leaving their astonished master to ponder the jus tice of Him who, though He suffer long, sees all the oppression that is done upon earth, and hears the cry of the labourer whose hire is withheld. After the steamer had put off, it was necessary to send small boats back to the shore more than once to take in labourers who had rushed from the more distant parts of the estate at the sound of her whistle. At Mr. Daxigx WDONALD'A plantation the liberators were less successful, as that cautious gentleman had sent off into the woods about 90 of his slaves before they could learn that deliverance was at hand; a few, The Army and Navy Gazette states that hie Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has referred back to the Court of Inquiry upon the Burnaby scandal the report which it bad laid before him in his capacity as colonel of the Grenadier Guards. "We have already charades:sea the report as incomplete and trvatiafactory, and his royr' highness would appear to share thy view, from the fact of his seeking frrther information upon this very delicate subject." Considerable progress has been made in the work of plating the Royal Oak, at Chatham, the whole of the available shipwrights and mechanics not required on the iron frigate Achilles, 50, now working upon her. The last tier of armour plates, which will entirely comae her from stem to stern—rendering her, in fact, a complete mass of floating iron—was affixed to her sides yesterday, and the mechanics have commenced bolting the armour plates to her stern.

The policy constantly followed by my government in concert with the Cortese for the last four years has procured for the nation much increase of wealth, and led to internal reform, besides gaining for the country the respect and con sideration of foreign nations. In continuing the system already commenced of liberty, of tolerance, and of constitu tional administration ; in accustomiog various chases of society to the exercise of righta which elevate their dignity, and to labour, which is the stimulus to and which increases wealth ; in inculcating upon all the principles of morality and Christianity—we trust that we shall receive the blessing of Heaven in support of our efforts. Public tranquillity, that accompaniment of free sod laborious nations, will be comoli. dated. History will point to the present period as one fruitful in prosperity, and the reforms which may be necessary in the legislation of the State, will be accomplished by the effort f public opinion alone, without the suddenness and the violence which ordinarily accompany revolutionary re. actions. It is announced (but not officially) that the second daughter of Prince Christian of Denmark, the Princess Sophie Marie Frederica Dagmar, aged 15 (the sister of the Princess Alexandra), will be affianced to the Nero ditary Grand Duke Nicolas of Russia, the Carrewitch. aged 19 ; and that their confirmation is postponed because, previous to this ceremony, they will enter the Greco•Cathol is church. . IJespatehes were received yesterday at the Colonial-office from the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands. Despatches were sent to the Governon of the Cape of Good Hope, Natal, and St. Helena. The Midland Great We-stern Railway Company on Wednesday opened an extension lee from Longford to Sligo. a distance of 58 miles, at a total coat of 450,0001. The first trains started from either end of the line on Wed. nesday morning, and nothing could exceed the excitement of the people at the different stations ; many of them had never seen a locomotive before. THE LATE DUEL IN PARIS. " His success at Exeter Hall was not overwhelming, but it was a suoopos ; and it was curious to see the interest with which the good, pious women of the May meetings looked up from their knitting or their provision bags to gaze a t the strange being, who] had been a play-actor, my dear,' but was happily convey fed,' and so forth. Knowles was an earnest man in his last as in his earlier vocations, but in his seriousness he lost none of his old cheerfulness of spirit. He did not become a retired monk, like Pellico and Gerald Griffin, but was still a good man of the world while busiest in showing the way to the next. He was a capital story teller, and a smoker of the good old school of men, who seemed inspired by the pipes which rested on their lips." Our composers (says the A theatre et) are be_ stirring themselves. Mr. H. Leslie has completed an opera ; we believe Mr. Harold Thomas another, to a libretto by Mr. Henry F.

About 15() artists have already un dertaken to give one or more picture" each ; these will be exhibited in London, Manchester, and Liverpool, and at the close of the displays be allotted among subscribers of one guinea each. The date fixed for the receipt of pictured is announced as the 9th and 10th inst., at the Gallery, 5, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, S.W. The whole of the receipts of the exhibition and subscriptions received, less working alone, will be devoted to the end named. The concert for Lancashire by the bard of the metropolitan police, the humid the corps of commissionaires, and the band o f H e ywood (Lancashire) operatives, will take place on the 12th inst, iu St. James's-hall (kindly granted for the occasion), under the patronage of the Lord Mayor, the Earl of Derby, the Earl of Shaftesbury, he. As th e service" of the bends, and the printing, dux, are all given free, the whole proceeds, without deduction, will be paid to the Mansion-house-fund for the distress in Lancashire. It is stated that more than half the clergy left St. Paul's Cathedral on Tuesday before the bishop had got through half his charge. " One who stayed" says :—"Far be it from me to question the mode in which the London clergy thus obese to exercise that right of private judg ment which the bishop emphatically claimed for clergy and laity alike. Only, in common fairest' to your readers sad our hearers, I think you should let the fact be known, to gether with the necessary inference to be drawn from it— that the course which we adopt in reference to the bishop is that which we wish our own congregations to adopt In reference to ourselves. I weeder bow we should like it." The theatrical company at Compibgne is very numerous, and its members are as hospitably treated an were at Versailles the comedians who performed Molihe'm plays before Louis Quatorze. They all travelled from Paris in a special train, consisting of first clue carriages, no mat ter whether they were scene shifters, stage carpenters, mutes, or prompters. As they set out at about three in the afternoon they reached their destination about four, when a dinner, served on two tables, awaited them in en immense dining-hall. Around one table were placed the Etat major of the company, each as the director, stage manager, actors, actresses, author or authors of the pieces they were to act in the course of the evening, and the principal members of the orchestra. Thu rest dined at the second table. Bat all were given the same dishes, the same wines, and served with equally fine linen, porcelain, and silver, as well as provided with the same number of attendants. Cigars and coffee were handed round after the cloth was removed in two sextons, where, after they had dined, the two sets retired for half an hour, at the end of which they proceeded aloes a seemingly interminable pas sage to the theatre, where the play appointed for the same evening was rehearsed till half-past 7. At half-past 8 the Emperor and Empress made their appearance, which was the signal for the performance to commence. When it wa s finished the theatrical company were again conducted to the tatted manger in which they dined, where a champagne tapper awaited them. The Debate of yesterday contains a long letter from the skilful pen of X Prevost Paradol, in which the wr it er draws a comparison between the administration of justice in England and France highly favourable to the former country. The defects in the French system call loudly, he says, for reform. A very remarkable talking automaton is exciting the curiosity of the Parisians. It bus been constructed by M. Faber, late Professor of Mathematics at a German uni versity, and is stated by our contemporary. Cosmos, to be by far the most succemful effort that has yet been made to imitate the human voice. The figure, which is that of • woman, is exhibited on the Boulevard Magenti. Advices from Tenoriffe, dated the 3rd November, state that the yellow fever costumed to rase at Sainte- Croix de Tenerife. Out of a population of 13,000 souls three-fourths are in flight, and wandering in the country. Of the 3,003 who are forced to remain, from fifty to sixty die every day. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE TURKISR POSTAL SYNTEX. —Critics of minor calibre will perhaps hardly believe (says the Levant Herald) that the modern English invention of money-orders has already been introduced into the Turkish establishment ; and that you may now send 100 piastres or 10,000 piastres to Damascus or Bagdad, or any of the chief provincial offices, in that form as readily as the equivalent stuns may be similarly remitted from London to Dublin or Aberdeen. The still later convenience of postage-stamps will also be in operation before the end of the present year —specimen sheets having been already printed. and • mechanical di ffi culty alone delays the issue of the labels for I use throughout the empire. The Temps points to the largo sums contributed in England, showing how immeasurably greater has been the spirit of charity displayed in that country than in Futons. "It is ceslain that we remain tar behind the English, who generally give ea many pounds sterling as we give francs. We now learn that Lord Derby has for the second time subscribed in his own name a sum of 125,000 fr. for the Lancashire workmen. It is true that England has colossal fortunes such as do not exist in France, but the same total ought to be furnished by us by a greater num ber of subscriptions, smaller in amount and more conform able to oar democratic society. But, since enough cannot be done, is that ► reason for doing nothing? Since private initiative is sluggish, ought it not to be stimulated ?" SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW. Yesterday was the last day, in accordance with the rides of the Smith field Cattle Club, for the reception of the cattle and other live stock intended for the show at the Agricultural Hall, Islington, and by eight o'clock last evening, although twelve • (midnight) was the latest hour fixed, almost all the 'peel -1 mans entered had arrived and were placed in their allotted stations in the show-yard. The Herons and Herefords are , in full force, whilst there is a considerable increase in the abort-homed and other classes, the substitution of silver cups for medals and the increase of money prizes given by the club, amounting in the aggregate to just 2,0001., in addition to the novelty of the new and spacious building, cootributing mainly to such result. The classes are so arranged that they will be able to be gone through consecu tively from first to last, although amounting to fifty in number, without that former " dodging " about requisite to find out any particular class or animal ; and whilst the sheep are arranged in their pens forming aide avenues to the central area, the porkers are indulged with au area 100 feet square, known as the Union Hall, to themselves. Amongst the arrivals yesterday were several of the very beautiful animals which have obtained the principal prizes at the Bir mingham show, and others considered of equal merit from various parts of the oonntry which have yet been ex hibited at any show. The judges will commence their ex amination for the purpose of making their awards of the prises this day about 9 o'clock. In the evening the private view will take place. The Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary are expected to arrive oboist 2 o'clock this afternoon. The Prince of Wales, it is said, will arrive at the building at about 3 o'clock.

Your Paris 6 - A. respondent says that an action was brought at the Court of Assizes at Versailles by Mrs. Dillon against the Duke of Orammont Caderotivie to recover damages for the loss d her son, who was killed in a duel ; and that the plaintff is to be paid by the defendant a life annuity of 3,606 fr., with reversion to bee eons—Fredena and Horace—both of whom are insane. Now I leg to say, that I have a brother who I have heard kw been confined to a lunatic saylum within the last yew; but the statement that I am insane is untrue, and u tka mention of my name in connexion with the claim fa damages may cause some persons to think that a portion of the annuity is continued to me, I will add, that it is at my intention to accept any benefit arising out of the clam, and the demand for the reversion to me we made by the plaintiff without my knowledge or consent. Trusting that you will give insertion to this letter at the earliest opportunity,—l am, Sc., HORACE DILIPS. 18, King-street, Soho, Dec. 5. A letter from a clergyman in British Columbia, dated October 6, says :—" The female emigninta hal arrived. The servants were instantly provided with situ. lions, the lowest wages being Nil. • year. The governed clam, for which the bishop did not apply, are a difficulty. All are, however, in homes but six or eight. The boon to the colony is very great indeed." REPRESENTATION Of EAST KENT.—The lamented decease of Mr. Deedes has created a vacancy io the Eastern division of the county of Kent. It is well koown that the present position of the register gives every hope of the re• turn of a firm and unflinching liberal, who will give a to neral support to the government of Lord Palmerston. Suck a caedidate will in a few ds resent himself to the electois —one who will command t h e p e s upport of the entire liberal party. We therefore earnestly cell on ell the electors of Eat Kent, who have confidence in the general policy—re litacal, ecclesiastical, and commercial—of our noble premier, to remain unpledged until the geutleman presents himself who is to seek their suffrages for the honour of representing East Kent in the Commons House of Parliament. The eke. don will be watched by the country at large with great in terest, and we hope to see the Eastern divistoe of the county wrested at length from tory domination and mio ram—Darer Chronicle.

DAMAGES FOR RAILWAY At:. 7IDENTS IN FR St. L"'" The Civil Tribunal of the Seine has just given 'nag' meat in an action brought by a tailor of lJewie named Bayard, against the Lyons Railway Comia:,, to recover compensation for injuries which he and his JO had suffered through the negligence of the servants of tile company.

PARIS, Dm. 6. The Moniteur of to-day says :—" The Emperor will inaugurate the Boulevard Prince Eugbne on Sunday next. His Majesty will receive the con gratulations of the municipal authorities in the pavilion which has been erected before the Arc do Triomphe." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, FRWAT EVENING. The Moniteur, under the head of a correspond ence dated from London, contains the following paragraph : In spite of the more and more pressing solicitations ad dressed to England by the party in Greem who wish to place Prince Alfred on the throne, public opinion here does not allow itself to be swayed. There is not one party or one journal that now declares itself in favour of that candi dateship. On the contrary, the nation shows itself una nimous in desiring to refuse any offer of the kind. The Queen herself is, it is said, in acoord with her people on this übject, which so closely touches her personal feelings. The English are, in fact, decided not to add anything to t h e com plications of the Eastern question. The Coastitittionnel says: Some foreign jouroals pretend that England having pro pceed at the outset of the change which has just taken place in Greece to renew the protocol of 1830, France, as well as Russia, appeared to consider it as a dead letter. We believe we are in a position to say that the statement so male is quite erroneous. The Emperor's government, on the contrary, did not hesitate an instant in recognising the validity of the treaties, and we are not, we think, mistaken when we add that the instructions sent by telegraph to the French minis ter at Athens, immediately after reception of the news of the events, might be thus summed up :—Kindness towards Greece and maintenance of the engagements made in com mon. Those recommendations have since then been several times renewed. There is a vagueness in the above denial which provokes suspicion. It has been very confidently asserted that England was the first to ask for a dis. tint renewal of the protocol of 1830, and that Rus sia and France gave evasive answers. The Consti tutionners well-considered note is far from meeting this statement by a distinct yes or no, and the haste with which it flies off to the irrelevant subject of the despatches which, " if it is not mistaken," were sent to the French minister at Athens, argues that it is not able to deny the main fact. The France thinks it material to say that if England requires a declaration from the powers that the Duke de Leuchteuberg is not a member of the Russian im perial family, there will be no difficulty in giving it. This is an impudent way of reiterating the preten sions of the Russian prince. The France gives out that there will be no "definitive" ministry at Turin until the meeting of the French Corps Legislatif, and that when that body shall have expressed its approbation of M. Drouyn de Lhuys's policy, as there is every reason to suppose it will do, a ministry will be composed in Italy, the basis of whose programme will be the necessity of choosing some other capital than Rome. I have no doubt that the France here correctly intimates the dire intentions of the French government. The Moniteur's correspondent speaks quite in the same sense. The favourite scheme here is that Victor Emmanuel should appoint what is called an"` administrative mi nistry," precisely analogous to that Thorigny cabinet, of contemptible memory, which preceded the 2nd of December iu France. Then the terrible patron in Paris would have new elections con ducted upon such good sound coup d'etat principles as to ensure a pliable majority. There are rumours worthy of notice that Rattazzi may yet be the French agent for this subjugation of his country. The Bourse.was the precise counterpart of yes terday. After a good deal of animation in the course of the day, it became flat at the close. Route fell 20c. for cash, and sc. for account, closing at 70fr. 250. and 70fr. 50c. Mobilier fell 3fr. 75e. The Italian Loan was without change. Railways remain much the same.
