Advertieements received at the office, 10, Bon neje-street, not later than 2 o'clock p.m. Toms is the more reason for welcoming all positive evidence on the subject of colonial life and manners, such as is to be found in the speech of Mr. Gauss DrYFY at the dinner given him by his old compatriots on Saturday, because, as he justly observed, there is a certain class in this country which loses no opportunity of misrepre senting what Englishmen are, and what they do, when they leave our shores. It would seem as if to these persons England is nothing more than a huge prison or a monstrous "scholastic institu " tion," from which it is a crime to escape, and that nothing but evil is to be expected or believed of the hardened reprobates who dare to break its bounds. For wherever Englishmen settle, and settling carry with them the institutions of their native land, adapting them to the circumstances of • new and freer life, there are sure to break out at home malevolent insinuations that among them law is defied ; that • brutal tyranny "of the mob " silences all open speaking and extinguishes all freedom of thought ; that a gross and reckless " democracy " usurps all power, and makes participation in the government by the " educated classes" impossible. It is true that these statements sometimes are so recklessly false as to carry their own contradiction on their face. That great arithmetician, Mr. Lows, who can value votes at their precise equivalent in pots of beer, told an admiring and applauding House of Commons that in Victoria, where the worst of these evils were to be found, the democracy cared so little for the franchise that it was diminished by • half on the imposition of a registration fee of one shilling on each vote. Mr. Lows did not, however, ex plain how the democracy, being so all powerful, came to enact, or permit • law which thus out short its own existence, nor how it chanced that, being so eager to carry its own measures that it would give no respectable person • chance of being elected as representative, it was so indifferent that a 'billing a-head was an insuperable bar to its peeking the franchise. Mr. DCYFY, however, supplies information by which to correct the exube rance of Mr. Lows's fancies and facts. We learn from the former gentleman that the diminution of the 'constituencies by the requiring' of registration was not nearly so serious as Mr. Lows represented it, and that the cause lay, not in the shilling fee, bat in the necessity of losing a day's work in attendance at the registry office, and of proving • six months' residence, which, in • wandering population, is often • fatal obstacle. But Mr. Lows was not the only slanderer of the Australian colonies on the night of the Reform debate. Mr. GREGORY quoted a vote of the Vic toria Assembly against assisting the immigration of women, in proof of the evil influence of a demo cratic constitution. But Mr. Durre tells us that the vote in question took place five years ago, and that • contrary vote has been passed in every year since. It lies now with Mr. GREGORY to clear himself from the charge of attempting to sway an " aristocratic " House of Commons by arts of rhetoric, of which certainly a democratic assembly would not be very patient. When this ia the answer to these honourable gentlemen's "facts," it is scarcely worth while to follow them in their philosophy, or to trace, as Mr. Durwv did, the wonderful hypotheses they constructed, to prove that people could not get into the Colonial Parliaments who held offices that dis qualified them from standing ; or that Democracy must be retrograde because one colony out of two in which the question was agitated refused to apply the doctrines of free trade in • case in which AnAst Simi' admits of an exception. Happily, whatever statements are indulged in for the edification of a highly educated and equally credulous House of Commons, when the object is to burke Reform in England, we all know pretty well the real value of these party assertions. Nobody in practical life is deceived by them. Nobody, however educated and refined, has ever been withheld from going out to Australia by the apprehension of being " swamped" by the democracy. And nobody has ever come back to tell us that he has been swamped, at least by the democracy. Party divisions there are, of course, naturally more warm than they have been here for twenty years. Political changes there are also, necessarily more frequent because the colonies have not yet fallen on the device of making everything smooth by putting • leading Whig into office to carry out Conservative policy, and selecting for chief • gentleman who is so very old that nothing can be expected to be done till he is dead. But though our colonial friends tell us, and write to us, of tremendous party struggles, and of the utter ruin of the colony which is going to follow as • consequence of their rivals getting into power, we neither hear of the ruin being accomplished, nor of our friends leaving the colony, or even ceasing to struggle. The fact is that we all recognise very clearly that men's minds are not turned upside down by theirgoing to the antipodes. An Englishman at home is still an Englishman in Australia. He does not lose his sense, or his fair play, or his courage by the long voyage, and so when he gets to the end of it he finds, and be helps to make, • state of existence in which he is not tyrannised over, nor driven into sulky retire ment, nor debarred from his natural and iej‘... 4 . - Loate influence. It la true that in • him country where ancestry has n4l ye t . lb" grow, and where wealips say .:be by any one with either hands or he does not find that mere refineme nt p rocures him worship, or that long descent and riches are ao °opted as a substitute for intel lectual p ower and energy. But he does find that each party is only • too glad to put its bast men forward as its leaders, and that if any hang back whose proper place is in front, the reason lies in some feeling or interest of their own, which withholds them from political ex citement, or turns their whole energies into the channel of their private affairs. And meantime they are very glad to find that the country gets on extremely well without them, sometimes of course doing foolish things like the very wisest of uncles or nephews that ever sat on a throne, or the very sagest and most self-sacrificing aristocracy that ever ornamented its steps, but, on the whole, acting sensibly, and, above all, excluding no man's voice or vote from the fair and equal influence it should have as that of a man among his fellow-men.

Mr. Jefferson Davis arrived at Macon on Mon day, and was sent to Augusta under • strong guard en route for Fort Monroe, vid Savannah. Governor Brown, of Georgia, has been confined in the old Capitol prison. It is understood that the government will use him as a witness to prove the complicity of Mr. Davis in Mr. Lincoln's assas sination. Halleak ban offered 25,000 dols. for the arrest of Governor Smith, of Virginia. Cavalry are pursuing Governor Magrsth in South Carolina. Further evidence was produced at the con spiracy trial on Wednesday and Thursday, impli cating the prisoners. The Rev. Mr. Ryder, testi fied that he had found in the Capitol at Richmond, since the Federal occupation, a letter addressed to Davis, signed " Old Ham," dated February, 1865, informing him that the Northern shipping towns were overcome. The letter was endorsed,— " Secretary of State will see General Harris, and learn his plan for overcoming difficulties heretofore experienoed..—J. D., Feb. 17, 1865." Witnesses familiar with Davis recognised the handwriting as his. The New York Tribune say the amnesty procla mation will proffer the oath of allegiance to all who served in the rebel army up to a certain grade ; this oath, when accepted, to constitute a full exchange TRH COMPANIES WORKMEN'S EDUCATION BILL. The following is a copy of the bill u amended as report in the House of Lord', entitled "As Act to enable Companies and Corporatioes to provide for the F.clocation and Religions Instruction of the Families of their Workmen " Whereas the number of joint-stock companies and corporations, requiring large quantities of land for their operations, is great and increasing, sad lands and hones are thus passing from the hands of private owners into the hands of such companies and corporations ; and whereas such companies and corporations employ great numbers of workmen, who dwell with their familiee upon the lands belonging to such companies ; and whereas such companies sad corporations have no legal power to make provision for the means of duration and worship: Be it enacted by the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present parliament assembled, and by authority of the same, as follows : "1. A majority of not leas than threrfourthe of the shareholders of any joint stock company or corporation, present or voting by proxy, at any special meeting lawfully convened, such shareholders being entitled to vote thereat sad the votes being reckoned asocuding to the Gaieties pro! visions for that purpose, may resolve that any into of money not exceeding that of which notice shall have been duly given in oonvenios such meeting, shall be applied either in gross, or annually for such period as they may resolve, in provid ing for the edacatioa, worship, or religious instruction of the families of persons employed by them; and they may also resolve that any land not ezomdios an acre in any oos vote snail be granted or appropriated in perpetuity or otherwise for any of the purposes aforesaid ; and thereupon the dire°• tore or other persona authorised to manage the affairs of the company or corporation shall carry each vote into effect.

The expression 'Company' shall include besides corporations, the commissioners, conservators, trustees, and undertaken of say navisstioa, and persoas entitled by virtue of any act of parliament to the receipt of tolls for navigating thereon." and pardon. The New York Herald states that the amnesty will extend to all below the rank of lieutenant general. Mr. Stanton has issued an order stating that all the enemy's troops east of the Mississippi river Lav ing surrendered, persons found in arms iu any por tion of that district on the let Juue will be regarded as guerillas and punished with death. The Secretary of War has also announced that a review of the armies round Washington will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday next.

Magruslor made a speech at Houston, Texas, on the 25th ult., in whieli he expressed his determine tbn to continue the war. They bad a neighbour at hand, he said, and might receive aid from an unexpected source at any time. Washington despatches assert that the Em peror Maximilian and Kirby Smith had been recently seen in negotiation. It is no longer ex pected that the South will surrender without fighting. Guerillas' and paroled soldiers from Lee and Johnston's armies are plundering East Tennessee. President Johnson has commuted the sentence upon Hersey, condemned to be hung in Indiana, to imprisonment for life. He has also respited Bowles and Milligan until the 2nd June. A reconstruction meeting has been held at Ra leigh, North Carolina. Union speeches were male in which the Confederate leaders were denounced. The negroes in North Carolina have sent a peti tion to President Johnson asking for the right of suffrage. The emigration excitement is subsiding. The promoters are said to have no considerable amount of funds, and propose to negotiate a loan. The formation of emigrant companies still continues. Mr. M'Culloch has rescinded the order requiring Treasury permits for the shipment of goods to Southern ports east of the Mississippi coastwise or inland. Since the Ist May fifty-two vessels, exclusive of government transports have cleared from New York for Southern ports. The Confederateram Stonewall arrived at Havana on the 11th, and was still there on the 13th. It was rumoured that she was receiving men and ammunition from the steamer Owl and other blockade runners. Moffatt would command her. Several Spanish racial, bad visited her. It was reported that the American consul had requested the captain-general to surrender her as a pirate. The captain-general had refused to comply with the consul's request. Several gunboats had arrived at Havana from Key West to watch her. The British brig Kate Carlton, ostensibly from Matamoraa for New York, with 100 bales of cotton and, it is also stated, 300,000 dole. in specie, has been captured. Dr. Blackburn, who is stated to have shipped in fected clothing from Bermuda, has been arrested for a breach of the neutrality laws. I The Herald announces that the government of Columbia has renewed the charter of the Panama Railroad Company. The charter grants to the United States government, in perpetuity, the ex clusive privilege of transporting military and naval stores over the road. The Federal government guarantees the sovereignty of the Columbian government over the isthmus, and the security for the transit over the route against foreign powers. The steamer Sacramento left San Francisco on the 18th with 1,300,000 dollars, of which half a million is for New York. NEW YORK, NAT 20, Nostrum It is reported that Davis paid the troops nearly all the specie be bad in his possession. He parted company with Breckenridge at Vienna Valley, Sa h River, on the 9th inst. It is supposed the latter has reached the West Bank of the Mississippi. No further evidence was given at the conspiracy trial implicating Davis. A witness has identified Paine as the person having attempted Mr. Se ward's life. It is rumoured that letters were found on Booth implicating Davis. The Tribune states that the government is deter mined to arraign and try Davis before a civil tai -1 buns], probably before a Baltimore jury, Mr. Chase presiding.

About the hour mentioned a parties of the wooden laming gave way beneath the weight of one of the engines, that nearest the bridge, and fell with a terrifies mesh upon the iron oilstone beneath. Several o the men who were upon the staging at the time were either thrown down or carried away by the poaderona machine and were precipitated on to the ins caissons and into the river. As soon as possible these were extricated, and four of them, who were found to be severely injared, were re moved to the Otiariagrxoes Hospital and attended to by Mr. H. Hancock, one of the surgeons The fallowing ie a list of the MINIMS by the accident : John Tanners aged 30, of No. 2, Noah's Ark-place, Stan- Pte, suffering from bruises.

The staging at the place where the accident occurred is all but a wreck, the valuable engine is much broken, and lies upon its side on the iron caissons next the bridge, while the " monkey" ladder up which the heavy iron hammers used in pile driving are drawn and ,then allowed to drop, is torn away, having toppled over elan to the steamboat pier. EXTRAORDINARY INCIDENT.-BURSTING OP A WATERSPOUT OVER BRASTED PARK. (From the South taster* Gazette of this day.) About 5 o'clock yesterday (Monday) morning weak • very heavy storm burst over the neighbourhood of Brasted, and although it was not of long coationanom its effects have been most serious to the residence of W. Tipping, FAq., Brasted Park, one of the county magistretes. The mansion is situated within • short distance of the mum rued between Pomona' and Wasterham, and behind it, on the south side, the land rises for nearly three miles, the most elevated part being knows as "The Chart." The house is surrounded by pleasure grounds most tastefa Hy laid out, and the meadows at the south front are separated from these armada by a ha-ha, the wall being about five feet high and of coosiderable length. The basement of the house is poisoned of the servants soutane* ko., and Mime is a considerable slope from the ground above to the windows, for the purpose of freely admitting light and air. On this basement there are three levels, and the butler's pantry and plate closet ; two of the female servaita' sleep ing-rooms Wag on the second level. Altar the storm had raged for about halt an hour Mr. Pries, the butler, left his pantry to go to the servants' hall, which was on the lowest level, to me if the rain had prostrated M. LB kad bull the me about a fortnight previously. Os his return to the pantry, as be was sitting on the side of his bed, an immense volume of water pond into the room, *talkies him at the side of the bead, it having effected an entrance into the house by pouring down the slops to the window adjoining the pastry, whisk it broke, and tensed the door *ming into the pantry, which ft began rapidly to fill, and Mr. Price was Mite deep I. water in a few seconds. Fasting for the safety of one ci his fellowasmants, who was in • room on the same level, he hastened thither, but before he oould arouse her the water had found another entrance, it haring 'Meade& to the south-west aide of the house, where it fell like a cataract into • small yard, and with asiklens power to break glass in the back deer nearly half an inch in thiamin, aid at length the doer itself was forced open and broken. By this time the basement was rapidly filling with water, and the servante had to wade through it destitute of all but their night clothing, to effect their swami The family wee in London, but Mr. Tipping was theme distely apprised of the sad affair, and on his reaching Brasted the sortie which presented itself was of • eery desolate character. The beautiful grounds, on which so much labour sod expense had been lavished, were covered with • thick dimwit of mud; flowers and shrubs were uprooted, and the lower part of the mansion ',misdated. On the first level there was about three feet of water, and here the copper in the scullery had bees lifted by the water from the brick work which surrounded it, end laid on the floor, acd a dour bin continuing about two and shelf sacks of dour was floating about. Oa the woad level • quantity of plate, the cheat containing which bad been broken by the fall of • large cupboard, was found in the deposit of mud, which was at least one foot thick throughout the basement. On the level the water rose to about four feet and a half. On the lowest level were the servants' hall, footinan's sleep ing-room, store-room. &c., and in all of these roams the water rose to over seven feet, sad here the destruction of property was the greatest, in coosequenos of the abundance of perishable stores. fortunately there was no one is this part of the house at the time, as escape would have been r . etible o l v rom the the greet ater rash ff the water.ine Weeterhmt was obtained, and after some boars pumping it was sufficiently lowered for the workmen to get at the drams, which, after being °pelted, were able to carry off the remainder of the water. It was evident that the Immense body of water which found its way to the house could sot be the result of rain, sed it ie most probable that a waterspout buret in the high grated, as for • distance of more than two miles the course of the water is distinctly visible, its width being from forty to fifty feet, and the cope along the route are consideirely injured or de stroyed. The water having rapidly filled the ha-ha at the south side must then have swept across the lawn, sad burst the windows, through which it obtained tigress. It would also appear as If the original body of water had been sepa. rated shortly al terleaving the warm, °newt taking the route to Mr. Tipping's, and the other going towards Hever wood, the lodge gate of which it carried away, and thence down into Brasted-Areat. The road from that plain to Suodridge was completely noder water, some of which found in way into the cottages, and the traffic WY interrupted for some tints. We understand that the damage sustained by Mr. Tipping exceeds 5001. We understand that W. Tipping, Fag., of Braeted.park, is • madidate for the repreeentatios of Stockport, Lemmatize, u liberal.ommervative.

EMPRESS FROM PARIS. (PROS 001 owl PARIS, MONDAT Evznao. All the evening papers call attention, in two con spicuous lines, to the fact that a senates constatum is on the Senate's order of the day for to-morrow. What can this be about ? It is most extraordinary that, in the absence of the Emperor, it should be suddenly necessary to make some alteration in the constitution, and while nobody has been thinking about it. The rumour runs that it is intended to degrade Prince Napoleon. This is very pos- Bibb., but it would be a most impolitic measure, if only for the reason that it could scarcely pass without serious opposition. All the senators cannot be so servile and degraded as to refuse to give • voice to opinions very strongly felt in the country, and to sanction the doctrine that in France in 1865 only " one will" is to be omnipotent. Prince Napoleon's edition of his Ajaccio speech, in the form of a pamphlet, was seized at Bantu's, but only, I am told, for want of a stamp which I suppose he thought himself privileged to dis pense with. He will now publish a stamped edition. He is also, it is said, about to bring out the first volume of a history of the Bonaparte family. It is remarked that he has not yet re signed his seat in the commission charged to super intend the correspondence of the Bonaparte family. M. de Montalembert has just published an article in the Corresnondant, beaded "The Victory of the North in the United States," which the Avenir National describes as " an act of contrition, and an open disavowal of the fatal doctrines which formerly led him to call for an 'expedition to Rome' in the in terior." The military virtues displayed by the Ame ricans during theirtremendous struggle of four years' duration, seem to M. de Montalembert nothing in comparison to their civil virtues. The citizens of the United States did not have recourse to suicide to get away from fear and suspense. They were not the people to imitate those despairing sick who prefer immediate death to prolonged suffering. He thinks their conduct in time of trial a grand lesson for those European nations which, though as heroic as need be on the battlefield, are " intimidated and demoralized by every civil danger." The Americans have given to the world the " glorious and consoling example of a people who saves itself without a Cesar." The Aeenir sees in this homage from an old apostle of intolerance a striking instance of the power of liberal principles. Marshal Magnan is dead, after a short illness, at the age of 74. He was till quite lately remarkably strong and ; nobody would have sup posed him to be so old. He has held the command in-chief of the army of Paris ever since the coup d'etat of 1851, in which he took so large a part. The Bourse was affected by the news published in the indEpendance Beige, but suppressed in France, of the Belgian legion being badly cut up by Juarez' forces.

A touching incident is related in conrexion with the unveiling of the colossal statue of Dante at Florence. The sculptor, Nut, • native of the city in which Dante died, had his aged father livieg la Ravenna. Jost four days before that fixed for the festival, sews came that the old man was sick unto death. The son, with a natural craving to see him coos more in tits and close his eyes, would have hurried away at owe. Bat the mo ment was critical, and his promos in Flames all important. There was still math to be done which be alone could properly direct; the pedes tal sod its ornaments were incomplete, and bad to be tem porarily flashed so as to pus master at the ceremony ; the committee for the emotion of the moooment declared it impossible to spare the artist, and pat a resolute veto on his departure. Natural affection had to yield to the votes of public duty.
