The progress made during the last ten years by the Bri tish Colonies in South Africa has been very remarkable ; the imports, exports, and public revenues having, during that period, multiplied threefold, and from public returns just. to hand, it is estimated that a yet higher progressive increase will be sh nvn in the present year. The banking capital of the colonies has not kept pace with this increase of trade, and it has become clear that a new banking institution of considerable magnitude, and with adequate resources, is now a public necessity, and must com mand success. _ _ _ To meet this necessity, and as a profitable and safe in vestment of capital, the Standard Bank of British mouth Afr'ca is established. That the proposed field of operations is both safe and profitable is shown by the fact that, althoueh in the south African Comnies the rates of discount on first-class bills range from Bto 12 per cent., not one instance of loss is re corded in the last annual statements of the local banks. The following is a statement of the present selling prices of shares in existing local banks, the d►vidends paid 13, these banks during the last year having varied trom 12 to 22 per cent. per annum.

Powers are taken for the incorporation of existing banks in the colonies. The principle of limited liability uniformly followed in the recently established banking companies has been adopted. Of the 5,000 shares comprised in the first issue, a large number has already been subscribed for. The head office of the bank will be in London. Satisfactory arrangements are in progress, which will faci litate a speedy commencement of business. Sharel{oldeis desirous of paying up the full £25 per share will receive, on so much thereof as maybe in advance of calls, interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum. The preliminary expenses of the Bank will be strictly con fined to matters of actual outlay.

As it is "victory" nt) when announced by telegraphic despatches that have fil tered through the War office rt Washington, and still more unsafe to believe in it when described to be "glorious and overwhelming" by the New York press, there have been considerable doubts as to the true character of the engagement that took place on Saturday last between the Confederate forces under Generals Price, Van Dorn, and Lovell, and a portion of the Federal army under General Rose crane, on the old battle-ground of Corinth. General Ulysses Grant, dating from his head-quarters at Jackson, in Tennessee, 70 miles and upwards from Corinth, telegraphs to General Halleck, on the authority of General Rosecrans, that the Confede rates were the attacking party, that they were re pulsed with great loss, and that Rosecrans captured between 700 and 1,000 prisoners, besides the wounded that were left on the field. He adds the information which as invariably forms a por tion of a Federal despatch as the date or the signa ture of the writer, "-that, although the loss is serious on the Federal side, it bears no comparison with that of the enemy." A second despatch from the same officer would lead to the inference that the Confederates were still unsubdued, although re pulsed. "At this distance," he says, " everything looks most favourable, and I cannot see how the enemy are to escape without losing everything but their small arms. I have strained everything to take into the fight an adequate force, and to get them to the right place." Thus, according to General Grant, the place, the force, and the result are still unknown. In the meantime it is idle to speculate on either, or to exult, as the New York journals do, over a victory which may not have been won ; or which, if won, may prove to be un decisive. Mr. Lincoln, who has a high sense of his own responsibility for the doings of his Generals, if not for those of his Ministers, has made an unusually long visit to General M'Clellan to satisfy himself that all is right on the Upper Potomac. The tele graph has informed him daily, for the last fort night, that all is quiet on that stream ; but as the army might be too quiet for efficiency, he appears to have resolved to see with his own eyes whether it were in working order, and whether M'Clellan were as much to be trusted as he himself believed, con trary to the opinion of some, if not most, of his Ministers, and of other prominent persons who take him by the button-hole. At his return, at 10 o'clock on Saturday night, from a visit of two days and two nights to the camp, he immediately summoned his War Secretary; and on Sunday morning he con vened a Council of Ministers that remained in close deliberation for five hours. It seems to be the im pression that he has again been "putting his foot down " upon M'Clellan and keeping it down, as if he were very much in earnest, and not at all knead able by the extraneous agencies that desire to mould him to purposes not his own. He is reported to be entirely satisfied with what he saw and heard, though he was by no means satisfied with the re ported state of matters when he left Washington. Certainly the cordial good feeling that subsists be tween the General and the army—so different from I the bickerings, animosities, and personal jealousies with which he himself has to do battle evezy day, must have come upon his jaded senses so pleasantly as a breath of fresh air in the face of a convalescent. It is no secret that General M'Clellan has more enemies and possibly more friends than any man in America, and that the most vigorous and open, as well as the most insidious and secret means are daily employed to deprive him of command. The Abo litionist secretaries of the President, and the Aboli tionist party in general, distrust or hate him ; and all the Generals who think they could fill his place if they had the chance shrug their shroulders at the mention of his name : speak of him as a " mole," or an "engineer," magnify his reverses, deny or qualify his victories, and predict that no great blow will or can be struck at the rebellion until he be superseded. The President, however, though apparently shaken at times, remains true to M'Clellan as the needle to the pole. He oscillates a little to the right or the left, as the influence of an Abolitionist supporter or a rival General may cause him to deflect ; but ultimately he settles in the old place, and his last visit to the camp appears to have fixed him more firmly than ever. Gen, M'Clellan has one great merit which cannot fail to have recommended him to the favourable consideration of a man so bad gered as the President. He never complains, and never attempts to throw upon others the blame of his own misfortunes, errors, or shortcomings. He has been compared by his admirers to the first Na paleon, but he has somewhat more resemblance to the third, whose favourite maxim it is that " Le monde vient rt. celui qui sail se taire." M'Clellan not only holds his tongue, but knows how to hold it, which is the great point in such difficulties as those by which he is surrounded, and which he hopes to overmaster, perhaps in a mode more conducive to the satisfaction of a people who value empire more than liberty than to those of such a people as the Americans were in the days of that old and no longer regarded patriot George Washington. During the President's visit, he accompanied Gon. M'Clellan and his staff to the city of Frederick, in Maryland, recently occupied by the Confederate General Lee in his abortive invasion of that State. Mr. Lincoln was received with the enthusiasm which the people of all countries exhibit towards the master of strong battalions, and which the 1 people of this particular city were not lukewarm in displaying to the Confederate leader when they believed him to be the strongest. Having entered a house where General Hartsuff, who was wounded at the battle of Antietam, lay on a bed of suffering, to make inquiries after the health of the invalid, the crowd on his return cheered him lustily and called for a speech. Ho complied after a slight exhibition of reluctance, and spoke as follows according to the telegraphic despatch published on the following day (Sunday, the sth) : " In my present position it is hardly proper for me to make speeches. Every word is so closely noted that it will not do to make foolish ones, and I cannot be expected to be prepared to make a sensible one. If I were as I have been most of my life, I might perhaps talk nonsense to you for half an hour and it wouldn't hurt anybody. As it is, I can only return thanks for the compliment paid our cause. Please accept my sincere thanks for the compliment of our common country." Two words and one sentence in the above are italicised for the purpose of pointing attention to the fact that the reporter must either have maliciously misreported the speech, or that the President must have friends in the press who are careful of his fame, and do not wish him to be made responsible for unwise utterances, even if he made them. In all the papers of Monday three alterations were m ade , . For the w or d " f ool i sh " was substitute d " t r i v ial; for "sensible," matured;" and in the phrase "If I were as I hav e b een most o f my lif e , I might per haps talk n onsense t o you f or h a lf an hour, and it wouldn't hurt anybody," the word " n onsense'' omitted, and " amusing" put in its place. a change was e ff ec t e d w ith some damage to the gram mar,in mar, though, doubtless, with improvement an other respect. Those who are most i n timately ac quainted with the President believe the original report was the correct one. The people, however, were not so satisfied with the speech, whichever ot to desire a longer and at the railroad v a n e i d s i m o n o roef matured"b e orationns station Mr. Lincoln was again called upon.

'File Post-office Department has raised into pro minence once again the vexed and vexatious ques tion of a small currency. When silver first went up to the moderate premium of 4 per ccnt.—it is now at 17—Congress, to prevent the issue of " shin plaster," passed an Act legalizing postage-stamps as a currency. It necessarily followed that, in passing from hand to hand, such fragile little articles would be more or less worn, soiled, or defaced, and to meet with a perfectly clean one, unless procured directly from the Post-office, was in a few days a sheer im possibility. Last week the Post-offiee issued a noti fication refusing to forward any letters that had other than perfectly clean stamps on them. The whole press of the city was up in arms immediately. The order was declared to amount to the repudia tion of three millions of dollars—the amount of stamps believed to be in circulation. The Post office, however, refused to rescind its decree, and it wss proposed in the Common Council of the city of New York that the municipality should take the matter in hand, and provide the people with small change, either in the shape of a greatly alloyed silver currency, too worthless intrinsically to com mand a premium from bullion dealers, or in that of small notes, issued on the credit of the municipality. Under these circumstances Mr. Chase forgot for a little while his projects for the abolition of slavery, and devoted his exclusive attention to the abolition of silver as a circulating medium, and discovered, after consultation with his printers, that he could supply currency notes for five cents and upwards at a much greater speed than had hitherty been em ployed. He has promised to put on extra steam for the parpose, so that the postage stamps may be immediately withdrawn from circulation as money ; but he has not promised to exchange such as have been soiled or defaced in their legal use as a currency, and which the Post-office refuses to redeem, which he clearly ought:to do if he would keep faith with the people. The Post-office may be perfectly right, but it is Mr. Chase's business to assume the responsibility caused by the lathes of the Treasury Department. If a Bank-note,for three cents, or for three dollars, were to be generally declared uncurrent or worth less because it was soiled or dirty, it would amount to the repudiation of nine-tenths of all the paper money of America—a st ate of affairs to which the republic is not yet reduced—and which Mr.:Chase, as guardian of its financial honour, is officially hound to guard against, in small things as well as in great. If the soiled postage-stamps be not ex changed for postage currency, the r e f usa l w i ll be the repudiation of a legal debt, whatever may be urged to the contrary. OCT. 8.

The will of the most noble Mary, Duchess Dowa ger of Buckingham and Chandos, relict of the late duke, and daughter of the first Marquis of Bredal bane, K.T., was administered to in the London Court of Probate by her son, the present Duke of Buckingham, the sole executor nominated in the will, which bears date November, 1855, by which the testatrix disposes of the property she inherited from the estates of her father, and over which she had a right of disposition according to the order of the Court of Session in Scotland, to her only son, subject to a small bequest to her only daughter, who, under the clause for younger children, is other wise provided for. The will of John Lewis, of Tilney-street, Park lane, was proved in the London Court under £300,000 personalty by the trustees and executors —Sir Charles Locock, Bart. (the testator's son-in law), Alexander Trotter, Esq.; James Bury Capel, Esq. ; and Charles Brodie Locock, Esq , the testa tor's grandson. The, will was executed in 1859, and a codicil in 1861. The testator has made ample provision for his two daughters, and has directed that the residue of his property, real and personal, shall be divided into five parts of equal value, leaving to each of his five grandsons an equal por tion. There is a legacy of £lOO left to the fund for decayed members of the Stock Exchange, to be paid free of duty. The will of Alexander Giovanni Cassavetti, E sq ., of Porchestor-terrace, and of New Broad-street, merchant, was proved in London by three of the executors, namely, Michael Spartali, of Gresham House ; Constantine Geralopulo, Esq., o f Pm bridge-gardens ; and Euterp Cassavetti, the relict; power being reserved to Sophocles Constantinides, E sq., of New Broad-street, and of Alexandria, in Egypt, merchant, to prove hereafter. The per sonalty in this country was sworn under £lBO,OOO. The will bears date January, 1862, and there are two codicils, executed in February and March fol lowing. To his relict the testator has left an abso lute sum of /10,000, together with an annuity of £5OO and a share of the residue of his entire pro perty for her life, giving her a power, with direc tions, to leave some portions thereof to her own re lations. The residue of his property he leaves to be equally divided between his son and two daugh ters. The testator has also given directions to his trustees that, upon the decease of his widow, a certain portion of the share of the residue enjoyed by her shall be applied for philanthropic purposes in Greece and Thessaly—the latter being his native country. ANOTHER ROMAN CATHOLIC Grant, "Bishop o f S outhwark PASTORAL.—D r . ," has issued th e following letter to the clergy of his diocess :—" Rev. and dear Sir,-- I have not been abl3 to ascertain that any of the Catholics belonging to your flock have taken part in the meetings held in the park or elsewhere within the last thr ee wee k s , an d I ther efore abstain from publishin g any lette r on th e su bj ect of But it you find any excitement prevails use every endeavour in the pulpit and in private to dissuade our brethren from doing or saying anything likely to disturb the peace, or even to provoke angry feeling on the part of others. I send this letter to the clergy of the diocess because there is reason to fear that in other places, and especially in missions where there are Catholic soldiers and sailors, the discussion of the questions that have led to the meetings already mentioned have tended to produce dissension and quarrelling among our spiritual children and those who have taken advantage of passing events to speak disrespect fully of his Holiness, without knowing how deeply rooted is the attachment of Irish Catholics to him, and how keenly they feel every word that is uttered against him. In your prudence you will calm these feelings, and will earnestly entreat our children to remain silent, and to bear patiently and meekly every harsh and insulting word and act. If it is in your power to speak to the masters or superiors under whom Catholics are employed or sta • tinned, entreat them to forbid the mention of all subjects which have produced this excitement, and explain to theta that our efforts to restore quiet will be 'wasted until the bitterness which these domestic disputes have caused allayed by the firmness of superior s un d er w h om Catholics s and Prote s t an t s are li v i ng.

SIR,-Mr. Colwell having stated to me that our flight in his balloon from Winchester to Harrow, on Tuesday last, was one of the most successful and interesting which have been made, I am disposed to offer a few additional observa tions to those of your previous correspondent. He made a slight mistake as regards the time in which the journey was performed, the distance being got over in one hour and six minutes —four minutes less than he com puted. It being necessary to move upwards with great velocity, an additional interest attached to the ascent. The moment the rope was loosed by our guide, we felt first a gentle move ment, then a bound into space, almost a realisation of the " translation" of good men of old. It is hardly possible to deecribe how this movement outstripped thought. A fleet ing vision passed the mind of friends near becoming in stantly distant, amid the waving of handkerchiefs, the strains of music, and the cheers of the crowd ; we were high in air, however, before we could return these saluta tions. At this period our velocity could not have been less than at the rate of three miles a minute, our course describing a parabolic curve, the balloon being moved by two forces— upwards by the dense masses of the lower air, and north wards by the wind. This pace gradually lessened till we reached our extreme altitude, upwards of two miles, when we took the more moderate rate of about 70 miles an hour, and travelled at the same elevation until almost over Chert soy, when we descended, in a parabola of less inflection, upon Staines. This descent was of great velocity, although tha only effect felt by the aeronauts was the rotation of the balloon slowly. This was rapidly checked by the delivery of a sandbag, when for some time we preserved an altitude of about 900 feet ; subsequently it became necessary to ascend to 1,000 feet to clear Harrow-hill with the grapnel, which hung 100 feet below us, and was a scale by which we could estimate height, and our altitude was now gradu ally lessened until the descent was accomplished. It was interesting to note the difference of the aerial cur rents. Until we passed over Staines, rippled waters were observable, and we anticipated a rough descent; near there, however, some smoke was seen to blow towards the west, although our direction was northerly, indic a ti ng a lower and different current of wind. After our descent upon Staines we noticed our pace was diminished, and that we were probably moving at the rate of about 35 miles an hour, which pace appeared uniform until half a minute before touching ground, under the shelter of Harrow-hill. London was to be seen, a great bank of fog, with build ings in its outskirts, which we left on our right. I ought not to forget to mention a very brilliant effect produced by the sun striking on a cloud over the Isle of Wight. The cloud shone with an intensity equal to elec tric light. Nor should I forget our passage over the fami liar scene of much military pomp in which we had figured— the great dust plain and hideous huts of Aldershott. There a solitary bugle call was detected by the sharp ears of our helmsman, who pointed out the value of balloons in mili tary reconnaissance. Although at the height of two miles, any manoeuvres upon the dust plain could have been easily seen. Even troops secreted behind the reservoir, or in the hollows of Ciusar's Camp, would have been unable to hide from the searching eye of the aerostatic observer. A. M. PRESERVATION OF FOOD BY MEANS OF ICE. That a sufficient reduction of temperature in con nexion with proper receptacles would enable all sorts of food manufacturers, such as graziers and butchers, poulterers, dairymen, horticulturists, and many others, to store and keep fresh immense quantities of food—killing animal food and pluck ing or other wise reapin,, vegetable food at conve nience, or when ready for use, one cannot doubt. And as to the question how long such articles, especially flesh or animal food of all sorts, could thus be kt pt, we may reply that really there appears to be scarcely any limit as to time ; but, on a moderate calculation, say perhaps -10,000 years I Indeed, we need not say perhaps; for this has actually been proved to be a fact; it is no mere supposition. Every one has heard of the extraordinary discovery, some years ago, of the carcass of an elephant encased in an ice berg off the northern coast of Siberia. This ele phant was one of a peculiar and extinct breed, and covered with a thick coat of hair, as if fitted for precisely such a state of things as that of which we lately spoke, with reference to the era of ice and drift. By geologists and others this elephant is believed to have lived in that very era ; and we would suggest that it was provided with a coat of hair in order to adapt this tropical animal to a state of matters in which, as we have shown, winters of arctic intensity must have alternated with summers of tropical heat. Be that as it may, however, and seriously sp ea ki ng, the flesh of this huge animal must have been preserved for thousands of years; and that it was preserved in at least an eatable state was evidenced by the fact that Russian dogs did not object to partake cf it. Again, in coming down a few years in our estimation of time, a para graph has quite recently been going the round of the papers in respect to certain food stores which were deposited in the arctic regions many years ago, and w hich were lately found in quite a fresh and good edible condition. If, however, animal and vegetable food could only be preserved for a few months, it must be a most important manufacturing and commercial object in many cases to realise such a possibility. When those immense shoals of her rings, inackarel, pilchards, and other fish come to hand, which are strewn upon our coast occasion ally in such profuse abundance that they cannot be sold for human food ere they rot, and are therefore carted off to the land for manure; municipal autho rities and others being sometimes obliged to pay for the riddance; how easily could such windfalls be preserved for deliberate sale to the poor at a cheap rate in large receptacles properly adjusted as to temperature. In a similar way graziers and poul terers might kill their flocks by wholesale when ever they become fit for the table; so saving their feed while otherwise waiting alive for market. — Builder. DISASTROUS NEWS FROM DAVIS' STRAITS. — On Wednesday the barque Emma, Capt. William Wells, belonging to Messrs. T. Ward and Co., arrived at Hull from Cumberland Inlet. We are sorry to state that the crew of the Emma have not seen a single whale during the whole of their stay on the fishing grounds. Captain Wells brings very unfavourable news. He states that from the time he left Hull, on the loth of March last, up to his arri val at the Orkneys on his return voyage, there has been a succession of violent storms. Nearly all the sailing vessels have returned clean, and many have been lost, the ice having closed in upon them almost without warning. Their crews have been compelled in many instances to travel over many hundred miles of ice to get to other vessels, or to some settlement. Capt. Wells states that during the whole of his experience he has never met with such dreadful weather. At one time the crews of 12 vessels, numbering in all 600 men, were standing on the ice during a severe storm, every moment excepting to see their vessels crushed to pieces. The Abram, of Kirkcaldy, was crushed with such suddenness that, although provisions, boats, clothes, &c., wore on deck in readiness for an emergency, every thing went down with the vessel, and the crew was with difficulty saved. On Thursday morning Alessrs. Brown, Atkinson, and Co., managers of the Hull Whale and Seal Fishing Company, were advised of th e arr i va l of the True love, Capt. R. Wells, at Lerwick, With about 30 tuns of oil. The Truelove is the only sailing ship belonging to this port that has had any success whatever this year. Captain Wells reports the Lady Seale, steamer, with 11 fish (70 tuns), and the Diana, steamer. Neither of these steamers has arrived. All the above vessels belong to the Hull Whale and Seal Fishing Company. Messrs. J. Belton and Co., High-street, have heard from Captain Couldrey, announcing his arrival at Copenhagen with the remainder of the Lord Gambier's crew, also with 28 of the Chieftain's and some belonging to the Abram, Resolution, and Alex ander. Thus in one season, the Chieftain having been lost, although her crew were saved, the liiirkealdy fleet of three vessels has been totally destroyed. PRICE..,.. ..4d. STAMPED ....sd. 'he will find that from Abraham to Jesus—a period of nearly 2,000 years—there were only 42 genera tions. Consequently, if Mr. Lincoln's wish were to be fulfilled, and t he generations of the future were to he of the average length of those of the past, the Union would reach the respectable age of 47,619 ' y ears—an antiquity compared with which the globe itself, according to the orthodox belief, is at the present date but an infant, and the duration of the great empires of antiquity—Assyria, Phoenicia Egypt, Greece, and Rome but the life of the summer ephemerae that dance in the sunbeam at noon and are dead ere sunset. Of course, it is as easy to say a thousand as any other number, as General Pope knows, but, as the President is painfully aware that his every word is noted, he ought to be as careful of his figures of arithmetic as of his figures of speech, and so avoid the rock on which his friend General Pope made so exemplary a split. The local legislature of Virginia appears inclined to go still further than the Confederate Congress in its denunciations of the President's proclamation for freeing the slaves of rebels. It has passed a re solution providing that "no person within that State shall be tried, imprisoned, or held to account for driving therefrom, or putting to death by any means, any person with or without arms, who may he found on that soil aiding or abetting, or in any other way giving effect in that State, or on its bor ders, to the proclamation," which it further declares to be "lawless and fiendish." No intelligence has yet been received of its effect in Georgia and South Carolina, and the States still further to the south ward, but there can be little doubt that it will fail of the purpose for which it was issued ; and that, instead of operating as a persuasive to sub mission, it will but widen the gulf of hatred be tween South and North; and make the war on both sides as " fiendish" as the Virginia Legisla ture considers the proclamation. An act of retalia tion of a very different kind has been suggested in the South, which if it were other than a grim joke and could be carried into effect would be much more embarrassing to the North than the schemes of personal vengeance that are talked of in Rich mond. We have among us, says a slaveholder, "a large number of negroes of both sexes, upwards of 60 years of age, together with many who are blind, crippled, or otherwise infirm and unfit for labour. All of these we feed and take care of ; and if let I alone will continue to do so until they die. But, as Mr. Lincoln and the Yankees are so very fond of negroes, let us drive the whole of them into the Federal lines ; whereby we shall escape a large ex pense, and afford our enemies a splendid opportu nit of exhibiting their philanthropy. It is true that Illinois would rather secede from the Union than admit these poor people into their State; and that Massachusetts itself might revolt, with Governor Andrew at his head, rather than act the part of the good Samaritan on so large a scale —and on compulsion ; but what of that ?" The Southern people are too kind to their aged and in firm slaves to entertain this proposition except as a jest ; and at the present time they are in no jesting mood. But the fact that such a mode of looking at the matter has been indicated is enough to prove that the whole South is not quite so truculent er so much alarmed as Virginia, and that the proclama tion, as regards the States where the patriarchial relation exists between master and slave, may be about as inoperative as Mr. Lincoln once believed. The Governors of the Northern, Western, and Eastern States who lately met is convention at Altoona to dictate to the President the removal of General M'Clellan, and, when that was voted down, to recommend the levy of 100,000 men to be kept as a reserve, in case the necessities of the Abolition party should require such a force to fall back upon, are, fortunately fur the country, only elected for a year; and the terms of office of many of them are about to expire. Neither have they much power for good or evil, unless they choose to revive the doctrine of " State rights," by which the South justifies its secession ; but if they were fixtures in office, even for so long a period as the President, such Governors as now administer the local affairs of Massachusetts, Michigan, and Ohio might do serious mischief. The rebellious idiosyncrasies of Governor Andre, of Massachusetts, in all that re lates to negroes and negro slavery are well known, as is also his doctrine of the divine rights of Kings, as superior to any rights supposed to be derived from the people ; but what is to be thought of the newer vagaries of Governor Blair, of Michigan, who in a speech at Washington, in support of the candidature of General Wadsworth for the gover norship of New York, denounced every man who was not of the Republican party as a " traitor," and hinted that mercy was misplaced upon such people, and that hereafter it might become necessary or advisable to introduce the guillo tine ? "We desire this," says the New York Cau casian, " to be remembered and made a note of. Governor Blair is the individual who sug gests that this bloody and remorseless punish ment be introduced among us. He will do well to remember what history has recorded as the fate of those who introduced it elsewhere." Governor Blair's words might have been the random shot of a heated speaker, who in his cooler moments might be the first to regret that he had given utterance to such a sentiment; but can as much be said in exte nuation of the conduct of Mr. David Tod, Gover nor of Ohio, and one of the Altoona Conventionists, who has taken it upon himself to declare that the freedom of the press, the existence of a newspaper, and the personal liberty of an editor in Ohio de pend entirely upon his goodwill and pleasure, and not upon the law ? The circumstances under which Governor Tod enunciated this astounding doctrine are recorded in the Ohio Eagle, published at Co lumbus, the State capital. On August 29 the edi tor of the E ag l e, M r . Ch ar l es R o l an d, received a curt note fr om th e G overnor , s t a ti ng that he desired to see him, an d appo i nt i ng an i mme diate interview.

"My first impression," con ti nu ed Mr. Tod, "upon read ing that handbill was to arrest you i mmediately, send you to Fort Warren, and close up your office ; but, upon consideration, I personal conc luded to write to you, seeking ainterv i e w, but not expect ing you would come.' , Wh a t he would have done had the editor not obeyed t h e summons he did n o t state, but he put this broad question to him—cc want to know, sir , whether you intend to continue th e publication in o f your paper the spirit o f that after' have the ?If you do i y t o , u , shall be arrested. The editor, to do . the backbonesome explanations about the handbill i rr elevant and its animus, said more emphatically --c, In re ference to the course of my paper I h a d s upposed I was living under a Government of written constitutions and laws, and in the publica tion of the Eagle I have adopted them as myltatide." The Governor, who ought to have been a Russian, an Austrian, or at the least a French prefect, re plied—" I am to be the what you may not say, constitutions and laws not withstanding; and l tin ess you will agree not to publish the Eagle in the spirit of the said handbills, it will be suppressed, regardless of consequences." Mr. Roland would make no promise, and withdrew. He has published the report of the interview, cer tified as to its substantial correctness by Mr. James Miller, the sheriff of the county, and a Mr. Slough, whom he took the precaution of asking to accom pany him, and so the matter rests for the present. It is quite evident, however, from this little episode, as from many ethers, that if a despotism be not established in this country it will not be for lack of ready-made tyrants and willing instruments to effect it.

The following correspondence has taken place between Mr. Mosley, of Manchester, and Mr. Glad stone, relative to the speech of the right hon. gen • tleman at Newcastle : if Manchester, Oct. 13. " Sir,—A great deal of misapprehension exists in this dis trict regarding what you are reported in the Times news paper of Thursday last to have said in the Town-hall, New castle, on Tuesday evening, when speaking on American affairs. " People here have interpreted your words to mean that our Government intend to recognize the Southern States of America, and as a consequence the whole trade in cotton and cotton goods is thrown into a state of doubt and uncer tainty that has had the effect of completely paralyzing it. " This is not all ; your speech has induced the counter manding of orders already sent abroad for cotton, and the suspending of others on the eve of being sent, thus stopping supplies of that which our population stand so much in need of. "It would be most desirable to know if what you said had not the meaning put upon it, and that it was not your intention to say or infer her Majesty's Government contem plated recognizing the Southern States of America, and I trust you will not consider me intrusive in asking an expla nation, as the subject is one of national importance, which should not be left in doubt and uncertainty, as at present. " I beg, therefore, you will grant me a reply, as your silence may bear the interpretation already put on your words. " I have the honour to remain, &c., " THOMAS MOSLEY. " To the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P." "11 Downing-street, Whitehall, Oct. 16, 1862, " Sir,—l am directed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to acknowledge the favour of your letter of the 13th inst., and I am to state that his words at Newcastle were no more than the expression in rather more pointed terms of an opinion which Mr. Gladstone has long ago stated in public —that the effort of the Northern States to subjugate the Southern ones is hopeless, by reason of the resistance of the latter. "I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " CHARLES L. RYAN. "Thomas Mosley, Esq," RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. BAHIA AND SAN FRANCISCO. The report of the directors of this company states that the fourth section of the railway was opened, after official inspection, on the 4th August last. Application for the capitalisation has been forwarded to the Imperial Govern ment at Rio in the usual manner, and in the meantime his Excellency the Brazilian Minister in London agreed to a provisional capitalisation for £231,896 10s. 6d., being ac cording to the mileage rate, with the view to payment of interest from the day of opening. Payment has been punc tually made of the guaranteed interest, due 30th June last, upon the amounts previously capitalised as the expenditure on the first, second, and third sections—viz., £954,865 18s.; the half-year's interest amounting to £33,420 6s. 2d. The progress made on the unfinished works, now confined to the fifth and sixth sections, though somewhat retarded during the rainy reason, has been very satisfactory. The report of the engineer-in -chief enters into all the necessary details coming within his department ; the result of that report is his conviction that the railway will be opened throughout during the month of January next, and that the total expen diture will be within the amount of guaranteed capital. In this conviction the directors participate. The call of 30s. per share has been duly met by the shareholders. The dates of the two remaining calls, each of £1 per share, will most probably be, as 'stated in the last report, in January and in April of next year. The maintenance and working of the railway by Mr. Watson, the contractor, have been ccnti nued and will be so continued, under the conditions of the new agreement made in June, 1861, until the end of Decem ber, 1863. The traffic has not yet materially increased, the opening of the fourth section having been too recent to afford returns indicative of its effects. The directors, how ever, have every expectation that by the time the working of the whole line falls into the hands of the company, after the year of maintenance, the traffic will have conside rably developed itself. In the meantime the attention of the provincial government is being directed to the construc tion of roads in the interior trending towards the stations and terminus of the line. Mr. C. Vignoles, the engineer-in -chief, states in his report that the whole of the rolling-stock has now been sent out, and has before this reached Bahia. He hopes that some of the surplus capital may be applicable to increasing the rolling-stock. His convictions are that the railway will be finished and the line opened to the end of the first 20 leagues, near Alagoinhas, in the beginning of the coming year.
