(MIND BANQUET To LORD BLOM The Lord Mayor yesterday entertained the Earl of Elgia at • usgaillcent banquet at the Mansion-house. Above 300 nobleman, ladies, •ad gentlemen, were present to meet the noble earl, and • company of the six-feet Volunteer Guards, of which the Hon. Colonel Bruce, brother of the Earl of Elgin, is the colonel, under the command of Lieutenant Thompson, were in attendance as a guard of honour to the successful diplomatist.. After the LOBO MAYOR had greeted the company in the usual loving cup, his Lordship, in • few welbseleeted and appropriate remarks delivered with his accustomed earnest ness, proposed the health of her Majesty and the rest of the Royal Family, and the Army, Navy, anti Volunteers, asso ciating with the latter toast the names of the Duke of Somerset, Gemmel Sir Hope Grant, and Lieut.-CoL Hicks, of the City Rifle Brigade. The Duke of &mum in briefly responding to the toast, I took occasion to pass • .well•rnerited eulogy on the conduct of Lord Elgin, Sir Hope Grant, and Admiral Hope, in bringing the China war to its successful termination. Speaking on behalf of the government, the noble dike said that the Earl of Elgin volunteered of his own accord to give up his place in the government, his *facial position, and devote Massif to the service of his country. He had dose INN and. watswAlasa of fatigue and of private eoesideratima, had ineesedsdia miWiating that treaty with China whidh it was hoped would kad toaa ezteasional the trade madame. mires of the meaty!, the promotion of good feeling between the East sod West. and the progress of civiliaation sad Christianity throughout all that portion of the world. General Sir Hon Ourr, in a few words expressive of Lie gratitude at the cordial reception which had been given So him, and laudatory of the conduct of the military mid Naval fortes engaged in China, acknowledged the tout on behalf of the army. Lieut.-Colonel Mao responded for the volunteers. The LORD ll...wawa " The Health of the Earl or Elgin." The Earl of ELGIN. in rising to acknowledge the toast, was warmly and heartily cheered. Him lordship said—The re. eeptica gives to me in thin place has a significance which imparts to it a double value in my eyes. Little more than a year km elapsed since I was invited to present myself at the Ceased-chamber of the Guildhall, in order that I .' might receive, at the hands of the authoriti es o f thi s grea t city, the hig h' and honourable distinction of its freedom. I I will confer that when that invitation reached me, the first ' impression which it produced was that of embarrassment ; ' I was under • cloud at the time. ( A laugh.) The Chinese government had shown a determination to resist by force the exercise of the rights mid privileges secured by treaty for her Majesty and her majesty's subjects—by the treaty negotiated by me at Tien-tain—and I feel that I could 1 1 hardly, without indecorum, consent to become the recipient I of so signal a favour, while the work upon which I had been engaged was still incomplete. if I overcame my reluctance to attend, it was with the hops that as op- 1 portuoity would be afforded of pledging myself to fresh exertion, and to renewed sacrifices, if such should be nicer eery, in order to justify the confidence which was then so generously given to me by way of anticipation. I trust you will not think that I have altogether failed in my endeavour to redeem that pledge. (Cheers.) Referring to the Canton quarrel of four years ago, in which the charge was originated, the noble earl reminded the com pany that it was an event which produced feelings of con sidentide anziety and disgust in the country. It affected the course of our domestic politics, brought a power. fel administration into collision with the Hoops of Corn• moos, and placed the House of Commons in apparent anta gonism with the constitusrocies of the country. With the heavy responsibility which devolved upon me, I left Eng land for China, but before I bad reached my destination, I was placed in the strangest dilemma in which any public man ever found himself. I had to choose between a course of proceeding which would, no doubt, have seriostaly imperilled my own success in China, and another course, which would have deprived my friend Lord Canning of the military aid widish must have hese most important to him at the time ef his need in India; but, afar mature and careful de , , =e, I preferred the former of those risks to the 1 latter. I attach greater value to anstemporary verdicts thee those which have been delivered after the event, and the most gratifying of those was contained in a letter which I meshed from the late Sir Henry Ward, then Ooveroor of Cey lon. I feel seals scruple ie reading that latter, bat I think it is important, as the testimony amiable man to the propriety 1 of tie mune which I adopted. Sir Henry Ward says : " Yen may think me impertinent in volunteering &popisha epos what, in the first instance, only concerns you and the Queen and Lord Canning ; but having seen something of public life during a great part of my own, which is now fast verging into the ' sere and yellow leaf,' I may venture to my that I never knew • nobler thing than that which you have dose in preferring the safety of India to the sue. ems of your Chinese negotiations. If I know anything of public opinion, this single act will place you h in English estimation se a statesman than your r w e past career, honourable and fortunate as it boa E been ; for it is not every man who would venture to alter the distribution of a (crop, upon the de spatch of which • parliament has been dissolved and a general might have been supseseded. It is not every man who would *malign himself fat nog 11110111i611 to political inaction in order simply to serve the interests of his country. You have set a bnht example at 111 moment of darkness and calamity, and if India ma be saved, it I to you that we shall owe its redemption, for nothing short el the Chinese expedition could have supplied the means of holding our ground unti , further miefeeeements arrived.* ) I think this is a testimony, coming as it does (Cheers.) a man, of which any one may be proud. After this sacrifice had been made I proeseded to Chios. The Canton question hail become *greedy so oomplkated that it was impossible to oome to any terms of arningement with the local government in that bour bons!, and tbeeepture of that city was a matter a alwlaM aseemity. But as noun as that capture was offected—aid I am very desirous to impress this on your minds, because it I act suffsiontly itadentood in England—l deemed it my duty to take every possible step in order to bring the war to • elope, and to arrange terms of peace and under standing with the Chinese government. With this view I persuaded not only my excellent friend Baron Grim, the French ambassador, but also the admirals of the United Bates and of Resi n, to joie me in • request to the court of Pekin that they should send • plenipotentiary to meet on at Shanghae, in order that we might arrange ell differences be tween Chios and the respective countries there represented. Shanghes, though very distant from Pekin, was then a port open to trade, and it was impossible to have made a more salutary proposition to the Chloe'. government ; but they not ably rejected it, but they rejected it with contumely. It was not till we reached Tientsin that we were able to lad a oegotietor to treat with us. As eve as we found hilt we made • pease, and concluded that piece in the most edema twamwr. The Emperor of China, influenced by the same evil counsel which had persuaded him not to send an anshamedor to meet us at Tien-Lain is the fell at the year, put obstacles in the way of osnying out the treat e and the consequence was that that great ex. was fitted out end sent from this country which has achieved such wonderful success in so short • period of time, and which has arranged all our diffi culties with China in the capital of that greet empire. l(Cheer.) Now, I am quite aware that that narrative must ie rather tedious to you, but I am anxious that it should be understood in the country that we have not acted harshly or ungenerously towards the Chinese--(cheers)— that at every stage of our proceedings we have offered rea sonable terms and conditions, and only reported to force when the obstinate perversity of the Chinese drove us to that alternative. But I know that another question lies behind which will probably be more interesting to you then this review of the past, namely, whalers the advantages we arelikely toderive from the Dew privileges and righte we have obtained under the new treaty with China? That question opens up • wide field for speculation. If we am encored in establishieg friendly relations not only with the govern ment but with the people of China—if we can persuade them to adopt some of our tastes and habits, and though they are very averse to change they are not like many other Onsets! nations, cut off from all communion with us by the inveterate prejudices of caste—if we can succeed in those objects it is impossible to pet a limit to the amount of trade which is likely to grow up between two nations so industrious and commercial. But there is one particular advantage which is likely to arise from having an ambas sador of the Queen at Pekin, and it is remarkably illus trated by what has lately occurred is Japan. A serious crime was perpetrated in that country. An European— sot a British subject —was murdered seder circumstance which showed culpable indifference on the pert of the Japanese government What followed? Our minister, acting with excellent judgment, retired a abort distmar from the capital. He did not threaten war, but he threatened what we all understand in Europe by the cessa tion of diplomatic relations. (A laugh.) If our former experience in Chins is any guide to us, we may conclude with absolute certainty that if such a threat IMO made to a subordinate Chinese (onetime:7 it would be d ao effect whatever. That subordinate would report to his superiors that be had kicked the barbarians out, and would claim all manner of honours and rewards for his services. (Tengliter.) But Mr. Aleock was resident in the capital of Japan, and in relation to the Supreme Government, and, seeing their danger, that government took alarm at his menace, and in a few days they talked of his departure as one of the greatest calamities which could possibly betel Jeddo. They implored OUT minister to go back again, and offered him aay guarantee for the future which he these to deemed. I am quite aware of the wide difference Dolmen Japan sad Mina, and that the advisory of the Emperor of Cities are not such Istelligent people as those of the Emperor of Jaw' • bus I feel confident that Um threat of sammensice of diplometic relations will now i have the same effect at Pekin ta the prevention of war and the preeervatkm of pesos as it has recently had et Jeddo. At the sumo time I must my that the misconduct of our , ems countrymen in China is perhaps one of the greatest &Seattle@ with which a British representative there lust to deal. We send oat honourable merchant., devoted me. sionaries, who scatter benefits in every part of the country they visit, and elevate the standard of civilisation ; but un fortunately there slips out from among us dishonest traders —ruffians who disgrace our name and set the feelings of the people against us. Public opinion in this country can do much to encourage the one clam of persons and to dis arrange the other, and I trust that the efforts of this rest city will be directed to that end. (Cheers.) When wing the merchants at Shanghai, I told them it was my intention to obtain • treaty at Pekin, but that. when force and diplomacy had effected in China all that they could legitimately e ff ect, the work which we bad to do in th a t coun t r y wou ld be only at its commence ment. That statement 1 repeat now. General Grant hes returned his sword to his scabbanl, and the diplo matist has, so far as treat .making is concerned, placed his pea o n th e s h e lf ; but the work of combination, of bringing China, with it. extensive territory, its fertile soil, and its industrious population, into the community of nations, and making it a fellow-labourer with ourselves in diffusing over the world happiness and well-being—that is a work which has still to be accomplished. No persons are more entitled or ft .to take part in that work than the merchant. of this great city, and from the bottom of my heart ; Mews.)

THE DISPUTE IN THE BUILDING TRADES. (From the Daily Neim.) A month after the satisfactory termination of this unhappy dispute was authoritatively announced it is still as virt.lent as ever. Week by week the same tranquil lising assurances are received, but as regularly in company with warnings, mimes, and entreaties, which expose their insincerity. After events had proved that these reports were am-sided and thoroughly unreliable, we admitted into our columns accounts of the state of things as they are seen by the men, informing our madam of their origin. This seemed fairer both to the men and the public than the practice of listening only to one party, and reject ing the communications of the other. It appears, however, that this plan interfered with some design which we do not profess to understand, and for the suocess of which it was neoessary to have it believed that the controversy bad ter minated. Sincerely desiring that result, and convinced that the system of payment —not eogagement— by the hour, which we were the first to recommend, and is that which is the most equitable, must in the end prevail, we nevertheless do not see bow that is tobeadvanced by the transparent trickof making thing pleasant. In • dispute to which there are so many par ties, acting in varying and not always distinguishable combine thins, and in which, therefore, the authority for much that Is done must be uncertain, there is the liability to contra diction which attends all unsuccessful diplomacy. The pre tended denial which Masan. Lucas gave is yesterday's Tines to a statement which bad appeared in the Daily Peace dose not however need this explication, lissom when slimly ex amined it is seen to be so denial at all The original Mate meut of the Tina was that dolomites from the Trude? Unions had waited on Mears. Belk and Lucas and made a most tempting offer, being nothing less than a guarantee that no strike should take place for a year in their yards on condition that they would give up the hour system. This was the statement which the workmen's committee damned se untrue, declaring that no deputation whatever has waited upon these gentlemen, nor was or is there any such movement contemplated. And this statement, which Messrs. Lucas profess to have found "in an article of the Daily Pons," remains wholly untouched by their letter. Messrs. Lucas know better than anybody else whether they were waited on, as they now say, by some operatives; but as to the anahoeity of these persona to represent the Trades Union, their 'eidetic./ is worth nothing at all. We should not have discovered the importance of the fact either way bad not Mesas. Lucas made it the subject of a needlessly letter in the Times. The following is from • correspondent :—" No further action has been taken by the master builders during the peat week. A rumour had been current in the early part of this week that • compromise between the masters and men was likely to take place. This unfortunately turps out not to be the came. The report probably arose from the following circumstance. On Saturday last , Mr. Radford, the foreman of plasterers at Mr. Belles, 'waited on the worltmeo's com mittee, advising them to send • deputation to Mr. Belk, with • view of putting aa end to the dispute by some corn- This, however, the delegates declined to do. rYicthsr Mr. Kelk was cognisant of this proceeding on the part of his foreman is unknown, but it not unnaturally gave nee to a rumour of a compromise. Notwithstanding the assertion made by the recognised organ of the masters, that the firm where the dispute exists have their full complement of men, and the works are proceeding . eatidsetonly, such appears riot to be the case. On inquay at the works of the Exhibition and Horti cultural Gardens yesterday, for which Messrs. Kelk and Lucas are the contractors, it was found that the number of skilled workmen stated to be employed there last week was substantially correct ; in fact, that they had decreased instead of increased, although at the same time it is tree that • large body of workmen are employed on the works, but these are chiefly excavators and ' labourers. Owing to the scanty supply of skilled labour the contractors for the buildings in the Horticultural Gar ' dens are using all their available fares to complete one nor ', Mon, the larger part being left far the present. Many bun dred loads of bricks are ly ing on the spot, and if laid by the somber of bricklayers at present employed, it is said it would be impossible they could finish them for some months after the penod ansounced far the opening of the Exhibi tion. At the Grosvenor Hotel, Pimlico (Mr. Kelk, cosi tractor), the work is also at • standstill. From 100 to 400 plasterers are required, and last week there were but 14 on the premises; of this number six were discharged by the foreman, Mr. Radford, on Saturday last, for incompetency, and four hare since quitted the employment, these latter being placed on the foods of the society. The number of men on the funds of the societies hu been greatly reduced in the last few days by being taken into yards and shops where the old system of payment is adhered to. About 200 am now in receipt of the " luck-out " allow nee, averaging 255. per week per man, viz. : 56 carpenters, 60 bricklayers, 40 plasterers, and • few painters ; and these, it is expected, will be absorbed on the various works in progress during the ensuing week. Within the last few days district meetings have been held, as also at Green wich and Woolwich, at all of which the determination to . . resist the hour system has been unanimous. On inquiry at the Masons committee-room last night we heard that their men are still determined against the new system, sad that they have resolved to make no overtures to the masters. They have 35 men on the lock-out fund, 12 of whom are going to a sew job this day. THE THAMES EMBANILYZNT AND RAILWAY OOYYIWOJ Yesterday, the first plan proceeded with was that proposed by Mr. G. F. Lyster, C.E., consisting of an embankment from Westminster-bridge to Southwark, Ave feet above Trinity high water mark, with a main roadway 120 feet wide, divided into sections for light and heavy traffic, together with • tramway ad • river promemde 20 fest in width. There would also be a roadway for the use of the whaillogers, with ducks $o be easetructed between the 'ewer and outer roadway, provided with tidal and lock entrances. Under the high level roadway it is proposed to carry • cabal as • receptacle for barges, with capacious reservoirs, to be dUed from the np.etream source where the tidal influence ceases, to supply the docks with water power end to scour the canal ; at • total estimwted outlay of 1,070,000!. Mr. Turner, C.E., of Newcastle, submitted his system for • modi fi cation of the liaise of the river embankment proposed by the Admiralty, and for keeping the docks next the river, without interfering with the streets, and furnish ing the necomary facilities for • main mitten sewer. Ifr. Gibbs, C.E., adopting the datum of the esplanade in treat of the palace of Westminster, would continue the embankment, which would thereby be advanced further into the river, to its proposed death:lotion, with • railway parallel and on the same level, mud • roadway of sixty feet. He would purchase up rather than give compensation for the present inferior class of property on the river side, and construct upon the site • new and uniform range of valuable m j: r larie, C.E., combined with his embankment • high level railway through Westminster, uniting with the rail ways seat sad west, so em to remove the dead lock that at moist existed in connexion with the metropolitan traffic. Underneath this railway on • great iron pussy he would carry a continuous street or promenade. Mr. ThordlarY. C.E. and contractor, proposed to run a • river wall 3 miles loin, from Vauxhall-bridge to the Tower, end with it • road and low level sewer 20 feet in diameter, to be ultimately carried on for conveyance of all the sewage into the marelsee He was of opinion that the embankment might be carried out further than was pro. posed in general, as was the ease with the embankments of the Parisian rivers. ' T e commissioners then adjourned to next week. (Stamped, Id. Additional.) [TWOPENCE THE CONFLICT IN AMERICA. The correspondent of the tory and high church Guardian, writiog from Philadelphia on the 23n1 ult., thus discusses some of the questions on which doubts have been felt in England: It is bit eight days since the proclamation of the Pre sident calling for troops was put forth, and already the whole land is in arms. By every line of railway the men of the North and West are hurrying towards Washington, eager to take part in its defence. The feeling everywhere is far more than excitement, it is • deep emotion impelling to personal sacrifice of every kind. There is something majestic in this sudden uprising of the people, putting from them as they do all differences of opinion, and re solving to preserve, at any cost, that form of government to which, under God, we owe so much. Aod certainly everything is et stake—life, property, order, our continuance as a nation. The virtue, intelligence, evenly, and cool determination of the North is to be pitted against the more impetuous courage, the better military skill, but I must think the far less noble instinct/ of the South. As to ' the ultimata issue of the contest I cannot doubt, what-' ever may be the first results. We have greatly the supe riority in numbers, and we have other most important ad vantages. First of all, we have absolute command of the um; net a port of the retaliates but can be closed to cam mere% so that suppliance every kind will at once be cut off. Man we have the vast solver tege d denadmit matey te till=i.whenata sat is rcud Mir ilsgsissi ptey. Virginia has within a few days, by secret vote of her winvention, united with the libuthern Confederacy ; the ilia result of-this is • dashes of from 20 to 20 per moot in her securities—they lavaboes aides low as 37 for 1110 paid —a sheet time ago they were at par. The bank-note cur neatly of the state, as well as dell the seceding states—the circulating medium of the regioo—is worthless outside their own limits. The credit of the South is, in short, annihi lated. And there looms op the fearful danger of the rising of the slaves. This is alinceta certainty now, seeing that the first act of the Jaren= Davis government since the virtual declation of war is the issuing of a proclamation inviting applications for letters of marque and reprised against against northern commerce. If this is acted upon, the feel ing which will be aroused will undoubtedly lead to ret•lia- Con on the private property of the Southern people ; and what more unmediately inviting than that which will remove itself at the merest s of the North ? You will risk in England, could not this war have been prevented ?—might sot separation have been peaceable, and the world hays base spared the spectacle of • war, brother against brother? We reply, there war no possibility of Reece except by the North yieldi ng everything, and thenbawaitang the seat humiliate& which a people fully armed and emboldened by sum= might see fit to require. If the South could rule us they would submit to • union and peace. If Fort Sumter had been surrendered, Fort Pickens would have bees ant demanded, then Tortugas and Key West, and so the slave-holding, slave-trading confederacy would have had every facility for the beginning of their career of conquest. Washington would, of course, have been required, as being within the limits of the slave eaten A powerful 000federacy would thus have been inaugurated, founded en the principle that slavery is the true basis of • acid system—to use Mr. Stephens 's wads—upon the idea with regard to the negro that " slavery, submission to the su re c y i s o c rtime, is his natural and normal condition :" a con too, which has a military leader at its. head, and which eOnsiders that, like the republics of antiquity, the chief business of its freedom will be the work of government and the duties of war, the tilling of the earth sedthe ordinary labours of life being performed by 'laves. You may say these are mere conjectures, sad that it will he time enough for the North to take up arms when danger really threatens. We reply that, in regard to the intention. of the Southern pe ople there can be no doubt, when one onside:B who their are, and further, that for years past scene a day has gone by that some northern man has not suffered indignity at the., bands. Five years ago, from one end of the South to the other, the people rose up to approve of the brutal attack on Mr. Sumner in the Senate Clamber at Washing ton. An Lot like this to be applauded in a community shows • spirit and temper which is sure to result in aggres sion on a neighbouring people, and in war. But apart f-om all other justification for the course which we of the North are pursuing, is our sense of the clear duty which is upon us of defending our constitution, union, and government. The divine right of existing authorities is a truth we do not question, and we go to battle with almost a cheerful heart from our undoubting conviction that we owe idlegisam to our government, seeing that its rule has hitherto been as peaceful and beneficent as any upon earth - and we bound at its call to hasten to its defames. It is tru e it La solemn moment in our history, and what the future has in store for us none can know. Whether a fragment of the country shall be permanently separated from us, or whs• Cher, after sharp conflicts, sorrow and suffering may lead the way to reunion and peace, are among the uncertain issues of the coming time. My own belief is, that it is growing to be the settled pur pose of the twenty millions of freemen of the North to make a floral sod of this slavery agitation, and to put down for ever what they consider to be merely rebellion and anarchy. As President Lincoln has said, " the central ides of secession is the essence of mare_ _._hr" reading it ea we have now resolved to do, we shall hardli_ stop short of sub jug/aloe should this be neemasey. We shall, in other words, conquer • peace. You would not doubt either our ability or determination could you see the flame of enthu siasm which has been kindled here, and note how the whole people are transported with rage. Here in Philadelphia there is excitement which one would say could not be ex ceeded ; people are all in the streets, flags from every window, military computes moving in every direction, and the enlistment aloes throaged. At least 15,000 men are drilling in this city to-day, and when tee regiments go which are now under, new ones of equal numbers will in stantly be formed. Virginia has at heart the possession of Fort Munroe at the entrance of Chesapeake hay. Here , too, there was danger ; but the government has succeeded in rein forcing the post, and it car be held now against all comers. Virginia, by madly refusing to stand by the general go vernment in this time of trial, and, indeed, by suddenly and basely levying war against it, bas sealed her own ruin. Maryland, too, which has equally failed us in our extremity, and has assailed our troops when on their way for the de fence of the national capital, will share her fate. The soil of theme states becomes the battle-ground, and it is Iluite ' among the probabilities of the future that the Northern army may find it necessary to declare that its lag, " where ever it floats shall float over the free." This is, indeed, a fearful possibility, seeing that • servile insurrection may be I attended with such horrors • but the responsibility is not with us of the North. Women and children flying from these dangers are reaching this city, and many more, I doubt, tiot, are to come. . . . . . . There must, of course, be terrible anxiety everywhere at the South. Even Baltimore 18 threatened with swift pu nishment for its misdeeds from Fort M'Henry, which COM numb' the ctt,. It is understood the garrison are instructed to shell the town in case they see attacked, as it is not int. probable they will be. And the Northern army, which has sprung as it were from the earth, is steadily and rapidly moving towards Maryland, and before many days such a host will tread the soil of that state as will suffice for any blow that it may seem needful to strike. Already the Pena -1 sylvanians have pushed their way to within eighteen miles of Baltimore, and are prepared to act against coy attempt of Virginia to throw troops from the Harper's Ferry region on Washington, and. at the same time, U:icthe line from this city to Wsahingtoo by way of re t de Grace. This line, it ia probable, will be kept open, but from Annapolis to tVashington there may 'mild& unity. A single regiment holds Annapolis, and there is another half-way on the route. It is mid an attempt will be made tomorrow by the rebels to throw a strong column of troops into this narrow strip of land, in the hope of attain the approach to the capital by that side. Should this 'noosed it would be infinite trouble, fur although the city is provisioned for a siege, and could bold out for a good while, it would require a costly effort to force a passage for arelieving army. In one respect Washington is - well pro vided—there are 11 batteries of flying artillery there of six guns each, managed by men thoroughly disciplined ; then the buildings, the Capital itaelf on its superb natural elevation, as well as other g reat edifices, are susceptible of easy defence. One other im portant item of news has just been received— the destruction at tho navy yard, Norfolk, by order of the general government, of the vessels of war which were lying there, and which could not be removed. Old vessels they were, as well as one which was on the stocks. A large amount of war maMriel has also been destroyed, and guns have beeo spiked, and altogether a very vigorous course of action has been pursued. Virginia fails thus in obtaining the government property at this point, precisely as she did at Harper's Ferry. The mention of this latter locality leads me to refer to a fact I learned to-day—that John Brown, jun., son of the brave but misguided man who was hung a year and more ego, is working with intense earnestness iu this contest ; keeping his own counsel, and pursuing his own plans, tut making no secret as to what he considers the one purpose of his life—theavenging of his father's and his brother's blood. He can never rest, he says, until he has hung Go veroor Wise. Yon may look to hear of some startling acts, depend upon it, as this war There is cause for the most real anxiety in Eoglsod now in regard to the cotton supply of this year, from the turn matters have taken. Although the seed is all in the ground, there can be nothing like the requisite attention given to the growing plant as the war goes on. It may be that but half • crop will be the result. You will probably learn by this steamer of acme serious conflict ; if not, you certainly will by the next. It is all grim earned now. I will leave you to conjecture what the shock will be when the Northern tide of stubborn fury meets the tiger-like dash of the Southern nature. On Sunday Isat there was a strange coincidence—the First lemon in the morning service, according to the arrangement of the American Prayer-book, was from the :ird chapter of IJoel, beginning at the 9th verse. The first words of it wet*—" Prepare for war." All over the land, therefore, such were the stirring words uttered is churches, while all the air was ailed with the clang of arms. The President, in the midst of all this agitation, seems unmoved. One who wee with him four days ago write, : " I was very glad to notice the tough enduring vitality of his temperament ;he needs it all. He does not appear to be worn or ill, but, on the contrary, very fresh and vigorous. His demeanour woe thoroughly calm and collected, and he spoke of the present crisis with that solemn earnest Gam posure which is the sign of a soul not easily perturbed. I came away from his presence cheered and encouraged." The Journal du Havre has the following : The commercial community of this port have been justly thrown into alarm by the last news (roan America, which mentions the resolution come to by the President of the Southern Confederation to issue letters of marque, and brings the proclamation of President Lincoln, which puts the ports of the Southern States under blockade. The Chamber of Commerce, through its president, M. Aseel, who is deputy for Havre, immediately called the &Montana of the minister to the necessity of taking measures for the protection of French venni in those waters. Immediately on receiving the letter from the Chamber of C ommerce , X Alice' communicated it to the minister, who has, it is said, promised to concert with hi colleague of the Marine, •D as to lams a conference on the subject with the Emperor. The London American dates that preparations are being made to hold an American union meeting in London. Our contemporary says : War has actually commenced ; the blood of patriotic dtisens has been shed. On the 19th of April, a der up sooratde in American history, several eons of Maseselnuelin fell victims to sectional animosities. They fell doing their duty, and their memory will be cherished through the length and breadth of the land. Whatever suocuses the revolutionists may meet with at fent, the vietcey must ultimately rest with the friends of the Union. They are a large numerical majority ; they possess the resources, and are not wanti ng i n personal bravery. We have advocated peace, though we have never apolo paid for the treason. We have expressed our preference for an honourable and peaceful separation, believing that such a rowan would be followed by a speedy reconstruc- tion, and the horrors of civil war avoided. We know the beginning, but the end cannot be foretold. There is uow but one sentiment in the North—every class and every nationality are ready to defend the constitution with their property and their lives. The pliant 69th of New York r(lrish) is already in the !Uhl, and English, French, Irish, ,an, Scotch, Polish, Italian, and Swiss regiments are being enrolled. Canada is sending recruit, for the national army, and the Union feeling is very strong in nine portions of the South. It is the unanimous voice of the Northern pram and the people, that the Union must be preserved. In common with, pro bably, nine•tenths of the Am er i cans resident in Europe, we entertain the same views, and shell labour for its pre servation. THs Op.iiT NORTHERN HO/HMI. —The fifth eantveivary festival of this institution was celebrated yes terday at the Albion Tavern ; the Right Hon. the Lord Chelmsford in the chair. After lii, usual loyal and patriotic teas* that of the evening was given, when his lordship made an eloquet appeal in aid of the funds of the hospital, which, in consequence of the great number of patients resorting to it for treatment, had not only been quite exhausted, but a debt of 1,300 f. bad accumulated. It wee to relieve the valuable institution of this incubus that be solicited aid from the guests.

WIDIRIDAY.—This morning we expe. rimmed the vary extmordinary circumstance of • heavy snow atom in May. From Ave o'clock till noon the fen was continuous and steady, and in some parte of the country quite two feet of snow covered the ground. A rapid thaw set in in the afteroon and little trace of winter is now re maining.

The cold nights and chilly days have checked peeress, and the plantations are not pnetelly more advanced than usually in the middle of April. It is now seen that there are a greater number of deed hills than were at first anticipated ; and the plants that have come up are platty, and what is called nettle headiid ; that in, they ex hib it too much leaf and are exceed ingly uneven. In assay grated* there have been slight attacks of Asa, end the leaves and bin. look yellow and sickly. From present pea there does not appear of to be any primmest • large r e crop. From Canterbury, we are informed that the poling in that part of last Kent is nearly brought to a Gloss; and slthou4b the weather is still exesenvely cold bar this advanced penal of the seam., the bins has grown ocesiinahly, rendering it neemeary in many grounds to commence the opeation of tying. There, as elsewhere, there are many dead bills, and it is estimated that about a third of the whets growth will be weak bind. —South Eastern Gawk. Duimesz IN Gaouss—A Strathspey correepon dent of the Ban,fiaire Journal, having had occasion lately to traverse a • of the moor in Upper Strathspey, ob eeveral birds in apparently good condition dead, and on making iequiry as to the probable cause of the disease, he ascertained the general impression to 110 that the stunted Mather with the drought, which retards the growth of the young heath, causes the bird. to drink more than an ordi nary quantity of water, which creates general purging, sad occasions almost instant death. There is uo great prospect of a good breeding season. SHOCKINO ACCIDENT.—An accident of a very distressing character took place at Mayen, near Mundy, on Friday last. One of the principal farmers in the district, Mr. Alexander Robertson, went down to the saw mill there to order some paling or other work to be done upon his farm ; and, while in the act of stooping clown to pick up a piece of wood, his great mat was caught by the saw, which Instantly severed through the one arm, and whirling him round, also cut off the other. When Dr. Wilma, of Meetly, arrived, the unfortunate man was perfectly sen sible, though weak from loss of blood. He was able to give the particulars of the accident in a clear and distinct man ner ; but it was evident to relatives and friends that life was ebbing fast. On Saturday morning he expired, leaving several children. Deceased was • quiet and industrious man, and was universally respected.—EdinterTet Courant. DEATH IN THE LEL - TORE ROOM.—On Wednesday evening last • lecture on " Wit and Humour" was delivered in the lecture-hell of the Athemoum, at Bury St. &lowed', by George Grosiimitb, Req., who, after some critical observations upon those terms, related various anecdotes characteristic of English, Irish, Scotch, and American humour, and read extracts from Dickens, Hood, Ise., in a manner which appeared to give much satisfaction to • numerous audience . The Rev. A. H. Wratialaw occupied the chair. At the termination of the lecture many who were present learnt the painful fact that, while they were listening to a lecture of a light description, • young lady, who had entered the hall as one of the au dience, full of life and spirits, had expired in an adjoining room, from an attack of tetanus, most awful in its sudden ness. The officers of the institution, supposing the poor girl to be simply in an bygonesl state, left her in the hands of some ladies, and having returned to the hall, knew nothing of the sad termination of the attack until the lec ture was nearly concluded. After consultation it was thought that it would then be moat unwise and even dan gerous to some present to announce what had taken place, and the lecture, therefore, proceeded to its close without interruption.—Bury and Berwick Post. THE DOUBLE CHILD MURDER IN SUFFOLK.— The miserable woman Salmon, who recently murdered two of her children at Edwardstoee, near Boston!, has since her imprisonment in Bury St. Edmund's gaol . manifested such unmistakeable symptoms of insanity, that it bas been deemed advisable to place her, without further delay, under proper restraint. She hasaccordingly been removed to St. George's in-the-Fields lunatic asylum. The Russian journals, which receive early intel ligence from China through Siberia, announce that the Mautchouc army, in garrison at Pekin, has revolted ; the motive is said to be the delay cm the part of the state is the payment of the troops. WATCHER AR A BRANCH (IF FINE ART M•NUFAC TRW —"Having extended our search thmugh the West-end and the City, after all ordinary good Mulish watch, possessing an artistic define, we have come to the conclusion that but very few of our English watch mansfactarers have yet properly ap. pnalated the advance of the public taste for a higher order of ornamentation from Improved designs.
