HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. Tins DAY.—Morning, 11h. 14m.—Afternoon, 11h. 45m. To-moßß.ow.-Morning, h. m.—Afternoon, 12h. 14m. We all remember how thunderstruck was Man chester with the defection of Mr. WILSON from Manchester free-trade doctrines. When be got to India as her Finance Minister there was one thing which must be done. He must make ends meet. He urged the Government to cut down every pos sible expense, but after all he could not frame an estimate which did not leave him with a large de ficit. There was nothing for it, therefore, but to make every export and import, that would do it, yield revenue. Even Manchester could not be exempted; not less than ten per cent. was ruth lessly clapped on to her piece goods as an import duty, by the great free-trade man of figures. But the worst was that the late editor of the Economist seemed to have forgotten his principles. India had herself a cotton spinning and weaving interest. There was not only the vast native weaving in dustry in numberless cottages and villages, with bamboo looms making piece goods of hand-spun cotton, but manufactories like those of Manches ter herself were beginning to rise, and here, therefore, was the unparalleled case of a free-trader imposing a duty on the foreign article while the domestic one escaped the tax. It was a clear 10 per cent. of protection. Mr. LAING has been able somewhat to better the case. He reduced the duty to five per cent. Still Manchester is all at ease. She forms, therefore, an association, one not quite so formidable as the Old League, to abolish the Indian Cotton Laws. They are clearly, to the extent to which they go, as opposed to Free-trade principles as the Corn-laws themselves. Mr. LAING confesses that Bombay is a manufacturing rival not to be despised. Hardly anything but the price of coals is against her. At Bombay, notwithstanding the rise in wages, the current wage for the month does not exceed a week's wages in Manchester. Bombay saves also the double freight of sending the raw material to Liverpool, and bringing the manu factured goods thence. India feels the disadvan tage of having few trained hands, compared with an old seat of the manufacture, like Manchester, but that is a disadvantage lessened by the erection o f every new mill. Thus, the Lancashire manu facturers are threatened w i t h t h e creat i on o f r i va l which, like tho se o f M assac h usetts, w i ll in great part creat e d b y a h ost il e d uty, s hfa u ac i l teo c r i b e iee n se : n itself to give a fair profit. L A ING, howeve r , cou ld g i ve Manches had, India a to a Even terMr statesman, g entlemen only l s y m a c n o e n h s e o s l t a e t r i . butHe all ust now, could not di spense with think of, an d India,]half a million from th e cotton be followed by the loss of th e the duty. The lo ss of duties might have to duties on other imports, since the manufacturers of hardware and other goods could hardly be per suaded to regard cotton as having a better claim to e xemption than their own manu factures. Thus • the only the whole customs revenue o f two millions might be at stake. Now, direct taxation, pos sible substitute, is—and how justly !_—so obnoxious to the natives, that the Government canno t venture to take any step which will lessen it s Power to ful fil its promise, and to drop the present low income tax, at the end of three years. The Indians are quite right. They prefer a customs duty, hardly felt, to an inquisitive, oppressive tax, which mulcts the most unequal incomes with equal, or rather with inverse, severity. It is, too, in practice, the most extravagant of taxes. But for its existence, we should never have been saddled with au extra ten millions a year on that purely unproductive outlay, the army and navy. We should have been spared official panics, and got more out of twenty millions than we now do for fifty. The income tax is the gran d temptation of a " national-greatness" minister —of a minister who thinks more of Shoe buryness, Spithead forts, and iron sides, than of the prosperity of the middle classes. We hope India will teach both Mr. GLADSTONE and Lord PAL MERSTON a lesson, for which every clerk on a hundred a-year and upwards will warmly thank them. Manchester reminded Mr. LAING of the cost of the Indian army. It is now 70,000 men. Would not 60,000 do P—a million a year might be thus saved. Not just yet, says Mr. LAING. For some time to come the generation which has seen the mutiny ought to see that an insurrection is perfectly hopeless. There are still unquiet spirits who ought to be exposed to no temptation. He thought Eng land ought, in fairness, to bear more of the charge of the Home Depot of the Indian Army, but then they should be met by the Chancellor of the Ex chequer with the POPE'S non possumus. The only thing he could think of was an English endorse ment of the Indian guarantee on the railway capital, by which they might enable India to obtain capital at 4 per cent., which now costs it 5 percent. The risk he considered nothing, and the capital was all English. He did not press this scheme ; neither did he seem very sure that cotton could be regarded as an exceptional case, but he knew of no other. We fear there is little hope for the Lancashire gentlemen. They will be handicapped with a five per cent, probably yet fur some time in the race with Bombay. We have little doubt that they will, nevertheless, win. What is wanted, is for them to become such purchasers of the raw material in India itself as shall put them and the Indian factories on a fairer level. The two freights, and even the lower wages of less efficient hands, they easily meet by their energy and skill. The fuller details of battles generally clear up but slowly the schemes of the generals. We get some conception of individual charges, repulses, and struggles, but seldom any precise notion of the arrangements. ARNOLD tells us that he never understood a battle, ancient or modern, from de seriptinn merely; and a far better authority, the Iron Duke himself, confesses the almost impossi bility of giving an intelligible account of all the movements in a great battle to another. What between the reader's ignorance of the locality, and the many things ordered on the field itself which formed no part of the original conception, even the General in chief command would find it difficult to make a stranger comprehend the course of the fight. The greater part of the more serious American battles, and not least those just fought, illustrate these remarks but too well. Some Of our contem poraries have written as if they thought they folly comprehended these battles ; but if so, we fail to comprehend their descriptions; and, when we turn to the American documents whence they drew their information, we do not believe that the writers of these documents themselves were masters of the battle as a whole. The main results are what we must be content with; while it is still interesting to peruse the accounts of some of the separate feats of arms. We can see plainly enough that the Con- federates were so vigorously handled on the Sunday by the Federals, that they thought it better to choose fresh fighting ground nearer the Potomac, whence, if not successful, they could more easily recross the river. They had done this by the Wed nesday. Meantime M'CLELLAN had followed them and got into the best position he could, as the pur suer. On the Wednesday, the 17th, the decisive conflict, as it proved to be, therefore came off. The Confederates made the bravest and most resolute efforts to drive back the Federals, but they were met with equal, at least, and successful bravery. At one point in the struggle, the balance vibrated much more evenly than the Confederates were pro bably aware of, since M'CLELLAN himself sent word to BURNSIDE that the day depended on his holding his position, and that all was lost if he could not. While IlumaisiDE, on the other hand, did not be lieve he could hold it without support. The retreat of the Confederates at four p.m., it would seem, alone saved BURNSIDE from being overpowered. So nearly were things balanced that M'CLELLAN a the close of the day, like the Confederates at Bull's Run, did not know whether he had gained a victory. A victory, however, it unquestionably was, and a great one. The defeated side had to ask permis sion to bury their dead ; and, what was of far more consequence, had to commence their retreat at once into Virginia. It is unfair to depreciate the achieve. meats of M'CLELLAN the very first time in which he fairly took the field against such able generals, and against soldiers not only as brave as his own, but flushed with recent triumphs. We are sorry to notice in the corres pondence of Dr. RUSSELL'S successor such a total want of that independence, fairness, and generous appreciation of high qualities on both sides, which characterised his impartial predecessor. An honourable partisan of the slaveholders and their generals would not desire to elevate his clients by depreciating their antagonists. The Confederate invasion of Maryland has proved to be both a poli tical and a military failure. They found the Mary landers, if not actively hostile, yet anything but friendly. They did not want their soil to be in- vaded in the name of Secessia, or of liberation ; and, for the first time, M'CLELLAN hail the advantage enjoyed by the Confederates in Virginia, of the best information. The military failure was also eomplete. The capture of a large number of troops at Harper's Ferry was far outbalanced by the much heavier loss of killed, wounded, prisoners, and stores ; and by the recapture of the strong positions of Harper's Ferry and Mazyland Heights. This time the Confederates were in vaders, and this time, therefore, as we are disposed to think, the Confederates were fairly beaten. What the the two parties will now do, we have, as yet, no intimation. M'CLELLAN, it is said, threatened to advance again into Virginia, along the Shenandoah Valley, from Harper's Ferry. If he does, his probable reason will be to deprive his enemies of the supplies of provisions they would find there. Probably, however, both sides are too much exhausted, now, to attempt much more at present. The Confederates are, by all accounts, both of friend and foe, in such a half-starved, ragged, shoeless condition, that the Union soldiers wondered how men, in such a condition, could fight at all, much less as they did. The normal condition of the " mean whites," however, who form the rank and file of the Confederate army, is pretty much this. They a re used to such hardships as the b etter f e d and better c l othed North would never en d ure ; an d it is not improbable th a t th e struggle will become increasingly one o f aided well-fed and comfortably-pro with the desperation of rags and for troops hunger. the As grave as judges were a Philosophersnd Flom, sec tionofthe h yes terday, down at Cambrid ge , while discussing, in °l° Section D of the British Association—the devoted to the themes of the Fauna gY—theth Monkey.diffcr- ha bi ta ble globe, Botany and Z ences discernible between the Zan and A discussio n, of course, this was, espec suggested by that highes t s p ecimen of the ape s p ec i es, the gr otesque and f ormidable Gorilla.

THE 'SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVE NI NO, OCTOBER 4, :,!.1862. months ago Mr. SPURGEON took this very subject up, it may be remembered, in a much more suitable spirit—in an entertaining lecture upon the Gorilla, delivered to an immense audience in his Metropoli tan Tabernacle. Humourist ae he is essentially in temperament, Mr. SPURGEON could not find it in his heart to treat the preposterous question that had then very recently been raised in consequence of the publication of M. Du CHAILLU'S African Adventures, quite seriously—as these learned professors nevertheless did yesterday down at Cambridge in Section D. Mr. SPURGEON found it absolutely impossible not to recognise upon the instant the intensely ludicrous aspect of a query that might really with. out exaggeration be expressed in the form of an inquiry addressed to the Human Biped by the Gorilla, somewhat tothe effect of the old familiar remonstrance of the negro, "Am I not a Man [at any rate the Gorilla's advocates would delicately insinuate—Senzething very like a Man—something all but Human] and a Brother ?" Elevated upon his raised platform, for it is less of a pulpit than a platform in his vast Metropolitan Tabernacle— having there beside him upon that platform a gigantic stuffed specimen of the Gorilla species, Mr. SPURGEON from his own intense and hearty sense of the whimsical, could not, we repeat, but recog nise above all things in regard to the inquiry selected by him for discussion upon that occasion its flagrant ridiculousness. Apostrophising the stuffed body of the Gorilla beside him during the course of this popular lecture of his, Mr. SPURGEON spoke quite conclusively, we cannot but think, upon the matter then seriously in debate among some people—As tOthere being any similarity, resemblance, or analogy between the Human Family and the race of the Gorillas! He spoke thus conclusively because his words, oddly addressed to the inanimate form of the Gorilla beside him, were, in the midst of their very oddity, the thoughtful utterances of the Satirist— of the Humouriet —of the MAN ! Bearing in mind, indeed—what we here scarcely dare oven to hint at with a veiled and reverend sense of awe as connected with a notion so wild. in its utter ex travagance—bearing in mind how in the History of Mankind the Human Form has been sanctified with a sanctity beyond all articulate expression —it does absolutely appear to us hardly less than a profanation to take an outrageous phantasy of this kind into so lemn and deliberate discussion. If it is to be discussed at all—let it be discussed in the reasonable, because the only appropriate spirit in which Mr. SPURGEON discussed it ! Bringing the ridiculous notion, at once, down from the cloud-land of the scientific dreamer—down, down, irresistibly, to the very dust ! Effectually setting aside the nonsensical theory broached by some among these dreamers, by the very simple and suitable logical device wisely hit upon by Mr. SPURGEON, as alone applicable to the subject. the logical device, namely, of the reductzo ad absurdum. Better this, surely, than all the learned prattle of yesterday—indulged in so very gravely in Section D, down at Cambridge, by Professor OWEN—about posterior lobes of the cere brum overlapping, about lateral ventricles, about the hippocampus minor, about what Professor OWEN, for:want of a better phrase, calls archen cephala, and so forth. As well might we chatter with Miss WILHELMINA AMELIA SKEGGS, in the " Vicar of WAKEFIELD," about SHAKSPEARE and the musical glasses and what not—as hope to raise into dignity a theme so ludicrous and even despicable by means, of no matter how unmeasured a quantity of this kind of learned, or (we shrink not from presuming to designate it, though Pro fessor OWEN himself is the Philosopher who conde scended to employ it yesterday) this kind of psvedo learned small talk ! No—laughter-moving though the remark may have appeared to be in the estimation of some who listened to it yesterday, when very simply and earnestly expressed by the Rev. W. N. MOLESWORTH, there is a moral and psychi2al gulf between Man and the higher order of Apes—a gulf that is in itself altogether impassable. We would go beyond this even, and say—that merely to suggest the crossing of which (in the remembrance of the awful considerations we have already alluded to) does appear to us, we re peat hardly less than a deliberate profanation ! The humane sentiment expressed in immortal words by TERENCE— " Homo sum el nemo alienum mihi puto I" is strictly in its significance the sentiment of a phil• anthropist ! Not all the babbling of the deli berate maintainers of the Darwinian Theory of Development, and of their predecessors the sup porters of the much older Lamarckian Theory, can surely induce any one out of St. Luke's seriously to believe in his heart that the Gorilla is to be in cluded—and with the Gorilla of course the chim panzee, and the long-armed ape, and the little marmoset, and the huge baboon, and the ourang outang, and every fantastic member of the race of the Monkey—under the all-comprehensive nemo in the beautiful and eminently Christian ejaculation of the pagan TERENCE. Lancashire is not only, it appears, threatened with a cotton famine, but with a coal glut. With the impoverishment caused by the lack of the raw material of cotton among the manufacturing opera- tives of the County Palatine, we are all long since familiar. The impossibility of obtaining our usual supplies; or, indeed, for some time past, any sup plies at all of that raw material from the Southern or cotton-growing States of North America, has been throughout this year of grace a matter of pain ful notoriety. The stoppage of the customary im portation of the raw material has necessitated, of course, the stoppage also, later on, of the customary exportations of the manufactured articles. Im plying between whiles, quite obviously, the inter ruption of the labours of manufacture. Mills thrown out of work by scores upon scores—operatives thrown out of employment by thousands upon thousands: such have been the inevitable conse quences intermediately of this dwindled importation and exportation. And now, added to all this but too well-known source of grief and anxiety as the winter closes in upon us—comes the melancholy recognition of yet another evil of a kindred character, and in some measure, also, of a kindred origin—the dreadful prospect of what we have designated a coal glut. As illustrative of what we mean by this phrase of a coal glut, it will be sufficient to allude to one indisputable fact, just now brought to light, in re gard to the actual state of things down at Wigan, in Lancashire. There, at Wigan, at once a great cotton town and coal depot—there is one colliery proprietor alone, for example, who has not less than 70,00 tons of coal banked, that he knows not what to do with,from the closing of certain consider able markets for it ! Divers other colliery proprietors, having thousands upon thousands of tons of coals "banked" in like manner (uselessly left, as the phrase is, upon their hands) in similar propor tions. So direfully are the evils of the American war spreading wider and wider, ring within ring, from the first dropping of that strong fact into the deep waters of ova. commerce, of our trade and manufactures. These tidings from the coal districts, as well as from the cotton districts in the North, threaten for us but a sombre and alarming winter, Thought must be taken now be- times for the possible throwing out of work of very many thousand colliers side by side with crowds of starving operatives. TIIE METROPOLI7AN RAILWAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Next to the Great International and the Armstrong cannons the Metropolitan Underground Railway is the "great gun" of the day. Would it not be an auspicious event to open it with charity ? There are thousands now in London who would willingly pay a small fee to pass through the tunnel, or a portion of it, which, being certain to raise a good sum, could be given appropriately to the suf fering inhabitants of the county of Geo. Stephenson. If the directors would make this concession to a noble undertaking it would be felt as a generous and gra cious act by the public in general, as well as by— yours, &c., W. SMITH.

MB. IL VEZIN, THE AMERICAN 7BA On Monday this gentleman, late of the Princess's, Sad lers' Wells, and Lyceum Theatres, commenced a starring engagement at the Theatre Royal, Southampton, and met with very great success. The part chosen for his first appearance was "Macbeth," of which the provincial papers speak in the most flattering and laudatory terms: On Tuesday the play was " The Lady of Lyons," with Mr. Vezin as Claude ; on Wednesday he was compelled, owing to the success of its first representation, to repeat "Mac beth," and Thursday he appeared as " Othello." The favour with which his embodiment of the Moor was received seems even to have eclipsed his first Shakaperian perform ance, as during the - whole of the play he elicited the most enthusiastic applause. The correspondent of the leading theatrical journal, the .Ero, is also amongst those who mete out unstinted and unmeasured praise to Mr. Vezin. The engagement of this London favourite appears to have been a decided hit for the enterprising manager and lessee of the theatre, Mr. W. E. Mills ; and that success, it is to be re gretted, must be brief, as Mr. Vecin returns to the metro polis next week, to lead the business at the Prineeks's Theatre under the new management, which commences on the 20th instant. • PRINCESS'S THEATRE.— The present season at this theatre terminates on Saturday, the 18th inst. On the Monday following (20th inst.) a new and enterprising lessee will commence his campaign with the following com pany :—Report speaks well of the leading lady, Miss C. Aylmer, and in the present dearth of female talent now on the London stage, no one will feel more pleasure to chro nicle her success than ourselves. Mr. Robert Roxby, late of Drury-lane, is stage manager; Mr. C. Hall, late of the Adelphi, is musical director; and Mr. Milano will be the ballet master. The general company include Messrs. H.

A marriage is also arranged between Mr. Villiers Lister, son of Lady Thersea Lewis, and stepson of the Right Hon, Sir G. C. Lewis, and Miss Coryton, daughter of the Countess of Morley. Advices from Berlin announce that Count de Bernstorff will leave on the 10th inst. for London, to re sume his functions as ambassador at the Court of St. James's. REPRESENTATION OF GLASGOW.—We under that a vacancy is likely to occur immediately in the repro. sentation of Glasgow, and that Mr. Laing, lately returned from India, will, in all probability, be the new member. Colonel Cattabeni and his fellow prisoners, who were long in durance at Genoa, under suspicion of being connected with the great robbery at the Parodi Bank in that city, have at last been released, no proof existing of their participating in that offence. MM. Mason and Slidell have communicated to the French press that they have no official knowledge what ever of their recal to Richmond, which has been rumoured. ACCIDENT AT THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY WORHS, REAIIING.—At an early hour on Thursday morn ing an accident occurred at the station of the Great Western Railway at Reading, and though it did considerable damage to property, it was very fortunately unattended with serious or fatal consequences. Just before the break of day an en gine was employed in shunting ten trucks heavily laden with coal to what is called the " transfer" siding, and the switchman unfortunately turned the wrong points, so that the trucks were put on to a line of rails leading to the works of the company many feet from the level of the ordinary railroad. The declivity of the rails and the great weight in the trucks caused this short train, which had been detached from the engine, to start off at a fearful pace, and as it pro ceeded it increased in velocity, completely de mo li s hi ng t h e wooden buffers erected at the end of the rails. It continued its course along the yard, knocked down the office of the time-keeper, and also about 20 feet of a brick wall, the boun dary of the works, and did not stop until it reached the Ca versham-road, leaving only space sufficient for one vehicle to pass along. A number of men from the engineer's depart ment were collected as soon as possible, and the trucks re moved from the road into the company's promises. Some of the trucks were smashed, and altogether a considerable amount of mischief was done. Had the accident happened in the daytime there is every probability that some one would have been killed, as there are always persons in the office which was partially destroyed. With so many cross lines of rails as at the Reading station, it is a matter of wonder that the switchmen have not been more perplexed, and accidents of more frequent occurrence. LOSS OF THE STEAMER lONA.—This fine vessel was run down and sunk on Thursday n ight, between rix seven o ' cl ock, near Gourock, by the screw steamer Chan ticleer, but happily no lives wore lost. The lona, as re cently announced in our columns, was sold to the Confede rate Government about three weeks ago, and since then she has been totally overhauled and strengthened for her voyage across the Atlantic. She had got fully laden with coal and general stores, and would have sailed on that day but for the stormy weather. On her return trial trip the Chanti cleer met the lona near to Gourock Bay, when, from some cause at present unexplained, a collision ensued, in conse quence of which the Chanticleer ran right into her, cutting her nearly in two. The lona sank immediately afterwards. that no lives were lost, nor an y one We are happy to say injured, the Chanticleer having speedily lowered her boats and taken the lona's crew on board, A large quantity of wreck has been strewed on the shore between Kilcreggan and Cove, The lona was insured,---Xvrth LATEST NEWS.

WASHINGTON, U.S., SEPT. 19. People may have read full accounts of this war, from the firing on Fort Sumter to the invasion of Maryland ; accounts of death on the long march, on the fetid morass, in the sickly camp, and on the red field of battle ; but it is neither the inspired pen nor the eloquent voice that can make them realize in full the horrors of this bloody struggle. It is to the hospitals teeming and choking with their many occu pants, that they must go, before they can say " War is hellish; war is diabolical." There is a shed, dignified with the name of hospital, in Georgetown, the interior of which reminds you more of cattle pens in Copenhagen-fields than a sanitary building in a civilised country. Here, in one room, are upwards of 60 beds, so close to one another that the nurses can scarce move about without striking the couch of some poor sufferer to whom the slightest touch is agony, and even the vibra tion of the floor is pain. Badly lit, badly ventilated, the atmosphere humid, stagnant, and reeking with disease. Is this a place in which a man with only a slight wound can speedily recover, or in which one badly hurt though not fatally, will not die ? The doctors do their best ; the insuf ficient staff of nurses do their best ; but it is next to im possible to battle successfully against sickness in such an, overcrowded dismal den. This place is, I am bound to say, not a type of the hos pitals in Washington and Georgetown. The Douglas, the Judiciary, the Seminary, and several others I could name, are well conducted. The one I allude to is only lately opened, and perhaps the local authorities intend, in tho course of their serene leisure, to improve upon its present arrangements. I visited it last Saturday evening, and they in whose minds the horrors of Scutari are still vivid can follow me with sympathetic interest as I pass along the double file of white faces and helpless forms. Here, on the first bed, with a coverlet over him which might have been clean 14 days ago, is a young man despe rately wounded. A piece of his skull the size of half-a crown lies on the battlefield of Manassas. There is a ball in his right thigh, and his left leg was amputated in the morning. Does he groan ? No; the brave heart saps the pain, and the utterance knows it not. " Have we whipped them out of Maryland yet ?" he asks with a feeble smile. Opposite to me I see a brokenhearted mother weeping silently over the yet warm corpse of her son. For days past he had been yearning to sea her, momentarily expected her, and she has but just arrived, and he died 10 minutes since. There, under the influence of an opiate, sleeps a youth on whose pallid countenance lurks no suspicion of a beard. On the next bed a boy, still in his teens, moves in an uneasy sleep. " The prairie ! the wide prairie I" he utters. Poor fellow. Doubtless he dreams of his far Western home, his youthful sports, his parents, and the pleasant days of the long ago. I pass on. Groaning piteously, a short distance up, lies the skeleton of a once robust frame. He is dying by inches. Ten days, he tells me, he lay on the field, almost glued to the earth by his own blood. He got grains of food and daughts of fluid, but what they were and who gave them to him he does not know. Sight left him on the sixth day. "Take off my boot," he moans, "it burns me so." Delusion. There is no covering on his foot. But it is fiery red, and on the heel there is a round black spot, Half an hour later, when passed his bed, the toil-worn body lay stiff and stark, and the immortal soul, released, had fled to futurity. In the midst of so much misery, happy are they whose mercurial temperament enables them to make light of their present troubles and salute you with a joke instead of a groan. I stand at the foot of a bed in which reclines a Maine man. My coat almost touches the ropes that suspend the splinters in which rests his shattered leg. " Get away, or I'll kick you," he laughs. The invalid next him has a pot of honey brought him by some visitor to which he is paying his respects. "I'd advise you to hide that bees'- juice, or I'm bound to get up in the night and steal it.' " What's out at ' Grover's' to-night; I want to go." This from a man with a ball through his right lung, another in his hip, and in hourly expectation of having his leg ampk tated I Here is a poor fellow who had a hemorrhage this morning, lying weak and exhausted. " Give him some strong beef tea at once " orders the doctor. But tho cook has ne beef, and refers the nurse to the steward. The steward has none either, and it is two hours before the patient obtains the nutriment, which, if administered sooner, might have saved his life. At the farther end of the dimly lighted room a hero froro, Sumner's division lies a dying. Lower and lower ebbs the vital spark. Fainter and fainter comes the fast departing breath, l‘lutely, with fixed and earnest eyes, he appeals to Heaven, strives with painful effort to catch a stronger breath, with which he may articulate some word yearning to be borne, fails in the endeavour, and expires. And as I pass out into the cool refreshing air of a September night, and look down at the dead-house by the water side, the moon, penetrating into obscur e corners, shows again his ghastly face. Oh, pomp and circumstance 0 f glorious war I This poor man had been sighing after glory. To earn it he left his home, his wife, his child, to battle against insidious disease and an implacable foe; and after 18 months of hard service in Virginian swamps a leaden bullet sends him to a reeking pest-house, and there he dies, unknown to his friends, his name scarce noted in the physician's book, and, enclosed in four deal boards, he occupies a piece of freehold six feet by two. And this is war's reward J This is glory I THE SHERIFFS' DINNER.—Last evening the neW Sheriffs for London and Middlesex, Mr. Alderman James Clarke Lawrence and Mr. Hugh Jones, gave their inaugu ration dinner at the Albion, Aldersgate-street. The com pany, amounting to about 150 gentlemen, sat down at the appointed hour to a sumptuous and elegant banquet, which was served up in capital style a le Busse. Among those present, in addition to the hospitable hosts, were the Lord Mayor elect, Sir G. Pollock, Sir W. Dilke, Mr. Butler, M.P. ; Mr. Locke, M.P. ; Mr. F. W. Russell, M.P.; Mr• Norris, M.P. ; Mr. Doulton, M.P. ; Mr. Cox, M.P.; several members of the Courts of Aldermen and Common Council, and other gentlemen. At the conclusion of the dinner the capacious " loving cup," brimful with some precious fluid unknown to mortals beyond the favoured region of the city, was circulated along the tables ; and the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were given by the Sheriffs, with an appropriate allusion to the contemplated marriage of the Prince of Wales, and were enthusiasticallf responded to by the company. The Lord Mayor elect pro" posed the healths of the new Sheriffs, who in acknowledging the cordial way in which the toast was received assured the company that on entering upon their year of duty it waS their earnest desire thoroughly and efficiently to discharge the functions of the important office to which they had bees elected by the suffrages of their fellow-citizens. Other toasts, most of which were of a civic character, followed , and the festivity of the evening, enhanced by some good singing from Madame L. Vining, Miss Eyles, and Mr' Lewis Thomas, was kept up without flagging until a Pr t " . treated hour, when the company at last separated, after enjoying together an extremely agreeable soiree. Di r. Harker was the toastmaster, and efficiently discharged the duties of that office. THE LIBERAL PARTY IN WALES.—At the con' forence of the Liberation Society held last week at Swan' sea, a paper was read by Mr. Carvell Williams, containing some curious and startling facts with respect to the smal l support which the Liberal party and Liberal measures in the House of Commons receive from Wales. Thus, gr. Miall's motion for the disendowment of the Establishe d Church was supported by but two Welsh votes out o f thirty-two, while ten Welsh M.P.'s voted against it. In th o three leading divisions on the Oxford University Reforfo Bill, Mr. Heywood was supp or t e d b y on l y e i g h t, s i x , an seven Welsh votes; ten Welsh M.P.'s voting in favour the Church's monopoly. So also in the divisions on th e Cambridge University Bill, three members, and in on e division, only one M.P. voted in support of dissenting rights. A more recent measure, the Qualification for Office ° Bill of Mr. Hadfield, received the support of only three Welsh members; and but eight voted for Sir M o rton Peto's Nonconformists' Burials Bill, which would ha° enabled Dissenting ministers to speak by the side of the open grave words of consolation to the bereaved member s of their flocks : while twelve Welsh votes were recorded against it.

Mr. Partridge, now in Paris, has written the following letter to Galignani's Messenger Hotel du Louvre, Oct. 1. I beg permission, through the medium of your jo urnal, to contradict most emphatically certain absurd statements which have appeared in some of the French newspapers, to the effect that in my visit to General Garibaldi I was the bearer of political letters and messages, as well as of money. The object of my journey, to which I strictly adhered, was purely professional—namely, to ascertain for the satisfaction of his English friends the actual condition of the General's health and wound, and to afford, if occasion needed, any assistance or sug gestions which it was in my power to offer.-1 am, See., RICHARD PARTRIDGE.
