711 E NAVY. VALETTA, Oct. 3.—The Bombay mail has just been signalled as having passed Jubal. As it cannot, therefore, be expected here until Tuesday, I take the opportunity of the French steamer due to-night of sending you a summary of the local news since the departure of the last mail. In the first place, I must tell you the Naval Commander-in-Chief, who has rehoisted his flag on board the Marlborough, 131, Capt. W. IL Stewart, C. 8., has received orders to return to Malta, from Corfu, for the winter. He is expected to be here in about a fortnight, or at the latest by the end of October. The Alacrity, 4, Com mander K. E. Baird, has made a passage to Corfu, and returned on Monday last. She brought the above intelligence, and also that the Algiers, 89, Capt. E. B, Rice, had left that island on the 22d for the Pirzeus, to relieve the Queen, 76, Capt. F. C. Hillyar, which ship was to take her place at Corfu. The Pelican, 17, Commander P. Brock, had previously left, to be stationed at the Pirreus, the Scylla, 22, Capt. R. Lambert, having been ordered to the coast of Syria to relieve the Mars, 10, Capt. J. M. Strange, ordered home to be paid off. The Mars is looked for at Malta before the end of October. The Wanderer, 4, Commander M. C. Seymour, has also been ordered to Malta from the coast of Syria. Besides the Marlborough, there were at Corfu, on the 27th September, the latest date received, the Shannon, 50, Capt. 0. J. Jones, and the Trident, 3, Commander C. J. Balfour. The Foxhound, 4, Lieutenant Doughty (temporarily commanding in the absence of Commander the Hon. A. Hobart, on leave), left Malta on the Ist inst., for Corfu, with despatches for Admiral Martin, and is expected back with the next mail in a few days. The only other naval movement in this port is the depar ture of the Magicienne, 16, Captain his Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen, on the 24th ult., for Messina and Naples, with instructions to await orders at the latter place. It is ru moured that this vessel has been selected to convey the Countess of Elgin from Marseilles to Alexandria—her Ladyship, it is said, being about to join her husband, the Governor. General of India, at Calcutta. No official intimation has, however, I believe, been yet received here on the subject. The Amphion, 36, Captain A. C. Gordon, is daily ex pected from Sicily. The London, 86, Captain H. Chads, the Neptune, 86, Captain G. T. B. Hornby, and the Doris, 32, Captain Sir F. L. M'Clintock, remain at Naples. The Edgar, 86, flagship of Rear- Admiral Decree, C. 8., Captain the Hon. F. F. Foley, has been expected from England for service in the Mediterranean for some time past. The discovery of a formidable leak, existing somewhere near her sternpost, will probably still further delay her de parture. It is thought that the Liffey, 51, Captain George Parker, which is also under orders to join the Mediterranean fleet, will most likely accompany her out to Malta, and that both vessels will be here about the end of this month. The only vessels of war at present in Malta harbour are the Hibernia, receiving ship (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Codrington, C. 8.), her tenders Boxer and Growler; the Icarus, 11, refitting ; and the Alacrity, 4. The following officers have returned to Malta since the 23d of September :—Col. Crofton, R.A., and family, and Major Bloomfield,by the Delta, from Southamp ton ; Lieut. H. H. Vivian, 22d Regiment, and En sign E. W. Grove, 22d Regiment, by the Capitole, from Italy ; Col. Mitford, Town Major, and family, by the Assyrian, from Leghorn ; Lieut, Carey and Lieut. Losack, by the Valetta, from Marseilles ; Lieut. Palliser, Capt. Farrell, and Capt. Tapper, by the Ceylon, from Southampton and Gibraltar ; Lieut. Bishop, 22d Regiment, by the Quirinal from Naples ; Ensign G. E. Osborne, 22d Regiment; and Lieut. H. B. Pitman, 22d Regiment. The Rev. Dr. George Tomlinson, Bishop of Gibraltar, arrived here in the Euxine, from Marseilles, on the 22d inst., and left again on the 29th, in the Olympus, for Gibraltar. Col. W. Elliott, R,A., proceeded in the same vessel for Liverpool. The paddlesteam-frigate Leopard, 18, fitting at Keyham for the first division of the Steam Reserve, is ordered to be put in commission for foreign service, with a complement of 310 men.. She is rigged, and is receiving her guns, carriages, spare spars, Stc. The Leopard. will probably be sent to China. The screw steam-frigate Liverpool, 51, now in the second division of the Steam Reserve in Hamoaze, is ordered to be brought forward for the first division in place of the Phoebe, 51, just com missioned at Plymouth. The screw corvette Pylades, 22, 350-horse power, having completed her repairs at Chatham dockyard, was undocked yesterday afternoon, During the time the Pylades has been in dock, extending over a period of several months, she has undergone a most thorough repair to make good her defects during the lengthened period she had been in com mission. She is expected to hoist the pennant in the course of a few weeks. She is to be furnished With the following armament—viz. :--16 8-inch 6 0cwt. cast-iron guns, each Bft. 10in. in length, and four 40-pounder naval Armstrongs, each of 28cwt. and Bft. in length, on her main deck ; on her upper deck she will carry one of the large 110-pounder Armstrongs, of 82cwt. and 10ft_ in length. Her boat armament will include one 12-pounder Arm- Strong, of Bcwt. and one 9-pounder Armstrong, of 6 cwt., together with a field armament of one 12- pounder Armstrong of Bcwt., with field-carriage, and one 6 pounder smoothbore brass °cwt. gun, with elevating carriage, for short practice. The fourth dock at Chatham is ordered to be immediately prepared for the reception of the paddlewheel steamer Prometheus, 5, 200-horse power, which is to undergo a thorough repair, pre paratory to being again placed in commission. Capt. W. R. Annesley, of the 97th, has been ap pointed instructor of musketry at the camp at Col chester, in the room of Capt. Chapman, of the 34th, who has been ordered to join the service companies of his regiment. Major-General Hay, Inspector- General of Musketry, commenced his annual inspec tion at the camp on Tuesday morning. About 40 invalids have arrived at the camp from India for the purpose of being discharged from the service. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Capt. Charles F. A. Shadwell, to the Hastings ; Lieut. T. K. Mackenzie to be Flag Lieut. to Vice-Admiral Hope Johnstone, Comman der-in-Chief at the Nore ; Lieut. H. B. Lambert, to the Galatea; Lieut. F. C. E. Baker, to the St. George ; Lieut. W. H. Goold, to the Euryalus ; Lieut. A. S. Montagu, to the Virago; Lieut. A. H. furnor, to the Leopard ; the Rev. John Cawston, , chaplain and nava l i nstructor to the Sutlej ; Daniel liludcane, M.D., James D. Oronin, M.D., and Jas. 1 folt, surge ons to the Meander; Andrew Leitch, acting second-Maas assist.-engineer to the Asia, as supernumerar y ; Wm. Hallowell, acting second class assist-engineer additional to the Indus, for the Liverpool ; and Frank H, Conning, assist. clerk, to the St. George. 711 E The 7th company of Royal E ngineers, under the command of Capt. F. E. B. Beaumont, which arrived at head-quarters, Chatham, on Monday, from Halifax, Nova Scotia, and the 20th comp any, under the command of Capt. E. C. Sim, which arrived the same day from Australia, were officially inspected at Brompton-barracks, yester ; day by Colonel IL D. Harness, C. 8,, the Director of the Royal Engineer establishment, who expressed himself well pleased with the appearance of the men after their long absence from England. With the exception of some very few, the whole of the men belonging to the 7th and 9th companies are married, and, as the number of married men are considerably in excess of those permitted by the regulations in each company, they will be draughted into the 39th and 40th companies just formed at head-quarters, the 7th and 20th being made up to their full complement from the depot c ompan i es at Brow pton. The 7,1 company is relieved at Hali fax by the 4th company, under the command of Capt. 11. W. 11. D. Purnaresq• Royal Engineers, ac. Yesterday a detachment o f companied by a party of buglers, left headquartets Chatham, for the Curragh, to join the 17th comPan7 Lient,-Col. Collinson, R.E., accompanied by other officers, has arrived at Portsmouth, and commenced an official inspection of the works on Portsdown, Man, Stokes Bay, and other places surrounding Portsmouth. Col, Collinson and his staff are on a tour of examination of all the works of defence, completed and in progress, along the emit. A party of 140 drivers of the Royal A -iillery has left %Varley Barracks for Woolwich, un , ',er the corn mand of Capt. Bazalgette, to join the field battery at that station. MR. GLALS7OIIE ON 211 E AMERICAN WAR. The right hon. gentleman said, at the public din ner given to him at Newcastle, on Tuesday last—lt is not very usual for a Minister holding my office to detain a public assembly upon subjects of foreign policy; but there is one question possessing para mount and absorbing importance at this moment, and so deeply and intimately connected with that touching matter to which I have last referred, that I cannot avoid saying a few words upon it—l mean the deplorable, though in my opinion not doubtful, struggle which is now proceeding in America. I for one, exercising my own poor faculties as I best can, have never felt that England has any reason, connected with her own especial interest for desir ing the disruption of the American Union. I can understand those who say that it is for the general interest of the nation that no state should excel any other nations of the continent. I can understand those who say—and I confess it to be my own opi nion—that it is greatly for the interest of the negro race that they should have to do with their own masters alone, and not, as has hitherto been the case, with their own masters backed by the whole power of the Federal Government of the United States. (Cheers.) This has been the state of things that has subsisted heretofore, and which some, I think, mis taking the interests of the negro, have thought it desirable not to repeal. But the laws by which the slaves have been governed have been made, not by the Federal Government, but made by the owners of those slaves. But the enforcement of these laws has not rested in the hands of the owners of slaves alone; they have had a right, a constitutional right, by the constitution of the United States, to be supported against their own slaves in the execution of the laws that they (the slaveowners) had made, by the whole power of the United States ; and I can there fore very well understand the argument that it is not particularly to be desired, in the interests of the negro race, that the American Union should be reconstituted ; but I must confess that, for reasons that I need not now explain, I do not think that England has any interest in the disruption of that Union, and that my own private opinion is that it was rather for the interests of England that the Union should continue. I know that that is not the general opinion entertained ; but whatever view you may take, I think we all feel that the course which her Majesty's ministers have endeavoured to pursue, viz., that of maintaining strict neutrality under all the circumstances that have heretofore passed, has been a right course, and has been the expression of the general sense of the community. There is, and there can be, no doubt that where two parties are in great exasperation, it is not at all likely that he who maintains a strict neutrality will satisfy both, because in point of fact the state of mind in which his conduct is liable to be judged of by the disputants is not a state of mind in which it is fair that we should expect from them a perfectly impartial conclusion ; but what we may, I think expect is, that an honest course of neutrality will be recognised—that course, I mean, which we have pursued up to this date—will be recognised after this unhappy struggle shall have passed away, and when the circumstances shall be calmly considered. But I must confess it appears to me that if either party has a right to find fault with us, it is the Con federate rather than the Federal Government. (Applause.) I mean that if we have deviated at all from neutrality our deviation has been against them and not in their favour. We have pro claimed neutrality and we have endeavoured to preserve neutrality ; but we have permitted the export of arms and warlike stores ; we have permitted it to two parties—to the Confederates whose ports were blockaded by the Northern fleet ; and we have permitted it to the Northerns, who have had perfect freedom to import all their arms \and stores they pleased—(applause)--I believe that course on our part has been a right and just course, and I think the very statement of the fact proves that, at any rate, we have not had a biassed influence in the policy of this country unfavourable to any fair claim that they had upon us. (Cheers.) Well, I now, I will for a moment make an appeal to you on behalf of the people of the Northern States—l mean so far as regards our appreciation of their position. Great allowances are to be made for them. Greater allowances are to be made for exaggerations in the state of public opinion in that country under pre sent circumstances than could ever before be fairly claimed for any other nation. Only consider what their previous history has been. They have never drank the bitter cup of misfortune, disappointment, and mortification. They have had but to will that a think should be done, and it was done. Their course has been a course of prosperity and advance ment without example, and without a single check. They are our own kindred ; they were, at any rate, if they are not now, our customers, and we hope they will be our customers again; but be assured, also, that under all the circumstances, when their good feelings can have fair play, they have a warm affection towards England. Never let us for get, whatever momentary irritation may cross the mind of that people, the reception of the Prince of Wales. (Loud cheers.) We know quite well that the people of the Northern States have not yet drunk of the cup of bitterness ; they are still endeavouring to hold it far from their lips; 1 they have not yet drunk of the cup of bitter ! ness which all the rest of the world seems to think that they must drink. We may have our own feelings about slavery ; we may be for the South or against the South ; but there is no doubt, I think, about this, that Jefferson Davis and the other leaders of the South have made an army ; they are making, it appears, a navy ; and they have made what is more than the other—a nation. (Loud and I cannot say that I, for one , regret their failure to esta blish themselves in Nlaryland. It appears to me but too probable that if they had been able to establish themselves in Maryland the consequences of that military success, in an aggressive movement, would have bee n that a p o litical party favourable to them obtained power in that state— thatacted actual or virtual they would would have have ob t u a o i n engagemen ts with that political party, a n d th a t t h e existence of those engagements, hampering them in their future negociations with Northern states, might have formed a new obstacle to peace: From the bottom of our hearts we should desire that no m new obstacle to peace may be formed. We may anticipate with certainty the success of the Souther n states so far as regards effec ting their separatio n from the North. I, for my own part, cannot but believe that that event is as cert ain as any event, yet future and contingent, can b e (prolonged cheer ing)—but it is because lam certain that this great event will arise, and that the North w ill have to suffer this mortification, that I earnestly hope that 1. England will do nothing to inflict additional shame, sorrow, or pain upon those who have a l rea dy suf fered much, and will probably have to suffer more. (Cheers.) TIIE UNITY OF ITALY. In continuation, the right hon. gentleman said-- There is but one other word that I will say to you, but it is a word that it is impossible for any mem ber of the present Government, addressing his fel low-citizens on public affairs, to omit to pronounce —I mean the name of Italy. (Great cheering.) It has been, from the first, iu my opinion, a principal p a rt of the mission of the present Government to g i ve true expression to the English sentiment, and to conform to the English conviction in the whole of its policy with respect to Italy; and it was a mission properly undertaken by the pre- Sent Government, because Lord P almerston, who is at its head, has been perhaps one of the very earliest in this country to discern the true conditions of the Italian question, and to endeavour to imp ress a sense of thos e con di t i ons upon the policy o f the country, even at a time when the public mind had not received that full preparation for it which it has now happily received. And Lord Russell, also, as you well know, has for years, both as Prime Minister and in other capacities, associated himself THE SUN, LONDON, 'THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 9, 1.862. in feeling and action with the cause of that people. It has been impossible for a nation enjoying free institutions, accustomed,to the exercise of self-go vernment as are the English people, to witness the conduct of the people of Italy, under difficulties almost unexampled, without sentiments of the warmest admiration. (Applause.) lam sure Ido but g i ve u tterance to your feelings when I say that the recent occurrence of an unhappy and ill-judged outbreak has raised that admiration of the people of Italy, in the minds of the peopl e o f E n gland even to a higher point than before—(applause)—for al though new to self-government, yet they seem to have been so well trained in the school of affliction that they have acquired what we may call wisdom beyond their years; and it has been found impos sible to detach them from the path of strict pru dence and circumspection, for they would not fol low into error even the man that they loved best upon earth. (Applause.) Our desire, I am sure, is that this question, which has advanced so far, may speedily reach a happy consummation. (Ap plause.) It is with no second view, it is for no latent purpose,it is for no selfish, no unworthy, no political object; it is for the sake of the peace of Europe—it is for the sake of the civilisation of Europe—it is for the sake of the sacred principle of moral and social justice, that we earnestly trust that that con summation may not be long delayed. (Cheers.) For generations back, almost for centuries, divided Italy has been a focus for the troubles of Europe, has been a bait and a tempter to ambition, has been a source of discord, a source and cause of danger. Italy united will be, as we trust, on the contrary, not merely the end of that cause of danger, but likewise will make a powerful addition, and give a new guarantee to the peace and order of the world —(great cheering)—and we will find in it a signal proof that constitutional government, in the spirit of freedom, with religion apprehended by the people, rooted in their hearts, and enlightening their under standings, is the best security that human wisdom can devise, not only for maintaining the privileges that are dae to man as a free agent, but likewise for the increase of loyalty and for the maintenance of order and good government. (Loud applause.) The right hon. gentleman concluded by proposin g , the " Health of their President, the Mayor of New castle." MR. ALCOCK, MR, AND MR. LOCKE KIN°, M.P., ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS. CROYDON, WEDNESDAY. At the annual meeting of the East Surrey Agri cultural Association, Mr. ALCOCK, in responding, said it gave him great pleasure and satisfaction to find himself able to come amongst them upon all occasions, not only because it gave him pleasure to meet his constitu ents, but because it enabled him to get an insight into their wishes and sentiments, which was ex tremely useful to him in the performance of his Pa rliamentary duties. It was impossible to come among them without ascertaining their views upon the leading questions of the day, and probably upon no question did they feel a deeper interest at the pre sent moment than the great question involving that disastrous war which was now raging in the conti nent of America between the Northern and the Southern States. He could not avoid taking this opportunity of saying that when that terrible struggle first broke out ho felt that, as an enemy to the continuance of slavery, he could scarcely be otherwise than opposed to what was termed the Southern interest in America, because he felt that inasmuch as they were the only parties in America who were the owners of slaves, that to avow oneself in favour of those States would be to support slavery. It was, however, Lord J. Russell, who, with that clearness of perception which distinguished him, first placed this matter in a clear light, and showed to the world that the struggle between the Northern and Southern States was not a struggle which in volved the question of the continuance of slavery at all ; but that, in point of fact, it was on the part of the Northern States a war for power, and on that of the Southern a struggle for independence. (Cheers.) When that was made clear, its effects soon became apparent in enlisting the sympathies of Eng lishmen on the side of the Southern States. In this happy country everybody was in favour of indepen dence, and therefore, although properly enough there had been no outward demonstration, all in this country sympathised with the people of the Southern States in their heroic struggle for liberty. (Cheers.) It was quite true that in consequence of this struggle great distress had fallen upon our own manufactur ing districts, but he was not sure that out of this unhappy calamity some permanent good to this country would not arise. Nobody could form an idea of the value of the spur which this would give to the cotton cultivation in India. At the present mo ment that country grew more cotton than (America excepted) all the rest of the world together. Hitherto we have had no spirit of enterprise in that country. They had done nothing with respect to railways and canals ; for while there were only about 1,600 miles of railways in India there were 18,000 in America, and accordingly the facility which they possessed of transmitting the raw pro duce, as compared with that of the growers in India, was enormous. Hitherto they had been asleep in India, whilst in America they had been wide awake : and looking at the probable duration of the present struggle and the exhaustion in which it would leave the whole continent of America, there was little doubt that it would be the means of open ing up a steadily increasing trade with India in an article for the supply of which we had hitherto been wholly dependent upon America. (Cheers.) Mr. LOCKE KING said all party spirit seemed for the present to have subsided, whether they looked to the House of Commons, or to the country generally. He knew it wac very necessary that there should be party, and indeed, in the present day they found that party spirit acted constantly upon the Government of this country ; but it acted in a friendly way, and it kept the Government to a great extent in check. No doubt there were par ties who were ready at any time to take upon them selves the responsible duties of governing the coun try. This had been the case in all times, and there would always be persons watching for op portunities to seize the reins of power, and to ob tain the honourable position of representing the county or the borough constituencies, whenever an election took place. (Hear, hear.) For him self, he would say most candidly, that having for a long period possessed the confidence of so highly respectable and important a constituency as that which he now represented, he would never relinquish his post without giving whoever opposed him a desperate struggle for the place. (Cheers.) With regard to the House of Commons, he thought he might say that in the existing state of affairs there all,er ewas scarcely any party at all ; but the whole country rejoiced that a most distinguished states man, who had the sympathies and the kind wishes presided over the councils of the nation. (Cheers.) He would say that Lord Palmerston was, t w ry ithoutexception, the most popular man in ( the country. meeting, Chiene convivialr (Cheers.) , p o r presiding si conductingcli ng a ta the affairs of the nation in the House of Commons, Lord Palmerston always showed himself to be a thoroughly true-hearted Englishman, and they were always proud to say that the leader of the House of Commons was the first gedtleman iu Europe. Several other toasts of a lo ca l c h aracter followed, and the proceedings terminated. eMxciAteßditElAuGroB pe C an AB a E tte .-- nti T o i n l , iB an i d al tO whichLVE i tT has o N which a more melancholy interest was added by extra ordinary decision of Lord Ardmillan last session,the. porTtalinEt case , YE said, set down for hearing by tho Judges of the lightitDi's Di vision for the 4th of next month.

The following letter appears in the Times: — Although still without any report of the Battle of Sharpsburg from the other side, it is already following the fate of all the Northern victories — of Grant's at Shiloh, of Pope's at Alanassas, of INlTlellan's strategic move at Richmond. From the temperate and able account that appeared in your columns, extracted from the New York Tri bune, it appeared that the main attack of the Fede rals was repulsed with terrible loss, while that of Burnside was saved from ruin by nightfall only ; and while the army of APClellan was too much crippled to move on the following day, that of the Confederates was executing a most difficult move ment with entire success. Harper's Ferry is now stated to have contained a garrison of 11,000 men, and the results of the Maryland campaign are thus summed up by a writer in the Nucl . ork Times : " The rebel leaders have drawn after them from Wash ington an immense army, with its enormous train, which has marched, toiled, fought, and been dragged over three mountain ranges at an untold outlay of strength, expense, and suffering ; they will have supplied their starving army with all it needed, slaughtered and wounded thousands of our brave Union soldiers, and then have escaped back into Virginia to laugh in their sleeves at our laggard way of following up our successes." It appears from the later accounts of the battle that the Confederates stood entirely on the defen sive, from which we must infer that they found themselves inferior in numbers. If so, there will remain a considerable portion of the army of Vir ginia yet to be accounted for, and from which tidings may yet be heard. Letters by the present mail state that Fitz John Porter had crossed the Potomac with his corps, which, being in reserve at Sharpsburg, had escaped all injury, and that he was repulsed, and compelled to recross into Maryland with severe loss. It appears at present, as so often before, that a retreat of the Confederates is ominous of disaster to their foes. What, indeed, is the Federal army to do now—return to Washington for the third time, or persist in crossing the river, and, if it can, advance up the valley which so far has proved to the Northern armies, " a bourne from which no traveller returns ?" But the movements of the armies are of small importance when compared with the astounding political intelligence by this mail. Of late Mr. Lincoln had broken away from the zealots. The appointment of General Halleck and of M'Clellan, the release of political prisoners, some relaxation of the reign of teiror—all proved that fanaticism had fallen out of favour. For this reason former ex perience should have taught us that the next oscil lation would carry it higher than ever—and so it proves. The proclamation now issued is the most consummate folly ever perpetrated by a ruler. No wit of man could devise another measure so fatal to the political unity of the North, so disastrous in its effect on the wavering States, and especially the great State of Kentucky, or so stimulating to every energy of the South, if there were one that flagged. Practically it is the recognition of the independence of the South by Mr. Lincoln. No man sets fire to a house of which he expects to become the owner by process of law. Mr. Lincoln now sees it is inevitable that the South will be an inde pendent Power, and he appears to deem it his policy to make a last attempt to ruin it. What will be the effect of this measure, if it pro- duce any effect whatever? Its professed object can only . be attained by a revolt of the negroes. Peaceful, contented, faithful as they have proved through all the turmoil of the war, it is assumed that on the Ist of January they will end all this, and rise at the bidding of Mr. Lincoln. Is there any one so ignorant as not to know what a negro revolt means No race is to be found more docile, more readily contented or of a kindlier disposition ; but underneath all this African blood is hidden, as the claw sheathed in the tiger's paw, and that blood was never yet aroused without atrocities from which the mind shrinks with a shudder. Such a revolt would begin on lone plantations, where at once every white man would be murdered, every traveller waylaid, every white woman seized, every pale-faced child tossed into the fi Imes of the burn ing homestead. And what would be the end of this hideous spectacle ? The white population of the South is to the black as two to one, and in power of destruction as 20 to 1. The first surprise would lay low its miserable victims; but the scene would close on the utter extermination of the negroes of the revolted district. Lest this picture should appear overdrawn, let us take that of an eminent Northerner, Horatio Seymour, now candidate for the position of Gover nor of the State of New York. In his speech on the 10t hof September, at Albany, he says:— " The scheme for an immediate emancipation and general arming of the slaves throughout the South is a proposal for the butchery of women and children, for scenes of lust and rapine, of arson and murder unparalleled in the history of the world. Its effect would not be confined to the walls of cities, but there would be a widespread scene of horror over the vast expanse of great States, involving alike the loyal and seditious. Such malignity and cowardice would invoke the interference of civilised Europe. History tells of the fires kindled in the name of religion, of atrocities com mitted under the pretexts of order or liberty ; it is now urged that scenes bloodier than the world has yet witnessed shall be enacted in the name of philanthropy I" But, although this would follow the proclama tion as its natural result, there is a safeguard to humanity in its impotence. Some months ago a General Hunter issued his proclamation overthrow ing the entire social system of three sovereign States with a mere wave of his pen. This did not provoke revolt; it only provoked, laughter. What greater right or authority has Mr. Lincoln to do this thing ? Doubtless he has as much as to stop the writ of Habeas Corpus over all the extent of the North. At the same time that he proposes to free the Southern blacks he proceeds to enslave any Northern white man that gives him displeasure, sends him to one of his bastilles, or to cell No. 4, New York, and there feeds him on salt pork so long as he may choose. But doubtless Mr. Lincoln knows right well that nothing can come of his proclamation. All evi dence agrees that he is a man of jocose and kindly disposition. What, then, can be the object of a measure from the smallest effect of which he would shrink ? A very important object. There is a presentiment in the North that recognition cannot be long delayed, and this proclamation is aimed, not at the negro or the South, but at Europe. We are now to be told there is a great lofty principle in the way which shall overawe Europe in its ma chinations. Unfortunately for its purpose, this virtue comes a little too late and halts a little too clumsily. We are not believers in conditional vir tue, and if the rebellious States are to be made clean of their iniquity why is the disease to be re tained in those that send members to Congress ? Where was this great principle the other day, when Mr. Lincoln told the coloured deputation to their faces that they were an inferior race, and could not be permitted to live with white men, and must go to live somewhere else ? Will philanthropy do much good to 4,000,000 negroes by taking a few hundreds from their homes and sending them to work in a coalpit at Panama ? And where was this prin ciple when Mr. Lincoln tortured words into every complication to prove there was no principle in the affair—to declare that if it suited his purpose he would free some of the negroes, and if it suited his purpose ho would free all of them, and if it suited his purpose to free none of them, he would free none of them ? The European understanding may be slow when compared with that of theNewWorld, but it is not quite so shallow as tobe cajoled by such principle as this. They who respect the demand of the Southern States to exercise the right of self-government, and who hold that they have amply proved their power to maintain their independence, believe the time has arrived when recognition can no longer be delayed without injustice to them and great political injury to ourselves. But it is rather for the friends of the like North to be eager in this matter. Anoth er y ear of this war and the North will disappear as a political Power. The Unionist, of course, will m ake merr y at this, as t wo yea rs ago he did at the p rediction of a civil war. Take a thin sheet of iro n ; y ou cannot tear it. Butif p you r. u That between North and make a cut fissure into . it, it may then ;n the Union is now made, a n d a f ract i on o f th e first disruptive force will rend it f urt h er. There wa s never more hatred a o be torn p Souththan there is now be tween Democrat and Abolitionist. If the North is to be in the futureas all desire it may be—a great and prosperous Power, there is no time to be lost in ending the age of bastilles, and the freaks of the "war power." It is doubtful whether it will re quire so much as another year to break up the North into fragments : Europe, anxious for the termination of slavery by rational means, and to the mutual gain of master and slave, would then see the Southern States the paramount Power and the Northern a prey to chronic discord, by which our interest and those of humanity would be sufferers with themselves. This none desire. Whatever the Northerners may think, the basis of European belief and senti ment in regard to this war has been a conviction that the severance would benefit both sections of the American people. In this view it may be well to consider that while the recognition of the Southern Contederacy—which is the only means of ending this war—is needed by the South, to save it from suffer ing, it is needed by the North to save it from ruin. FEARFUL STEAMBOAT COLLISION AND LOSS OF LIFE. SHIELDS ) WEDNESDAY MORNING. A most terrible steamboat collision occurred on the river Tyne last night, just about darkening, and with a sad loss of human life. The Tynemouth packet steamer, belonging to the Tyne General Ferry Company, left the Quayside, Newcastle, with a number of passengers on board, for Shields and the riverside villages, where their boats call, at the same time that the Forester steam packet, belong ing to the Percy Company, the opposition line of boats, left Shields, having on board a number of passengers and several women and children, who had been spending a holiday at the seaside. As she came up the river, she picked up a number of work people coming to Newcastle, and close upon six o'clock, while to the eastward of Bill Point, the crew on board the Forester observed the Tyne month coming down the river. From some cause not explained, certainly from bad seamanship, the boats came into collision with an awful crash. The Tyne mouth came down with considerable speed, struck with her iron stern the bow ports of the Forester, and cut her transversely right through the fore cabin, altogether a distance of about 12 feet. And now a scene of confusion, of horror, of heart-rend ing, and at the same time inexpressible, occurred on the deck and in the cabins of the ill-fated boat. Hard and fast stuck the sharp stem of the Tyne mouth in the planks of the Forester. Both vessels were towards the north side of the river, in compa ratively shallow water; shouts of men, amidst the shrieks of women, were heard exclaiming to the crew of the Tynemouth to allow their vessel to re turn to its position. Every one did what seemed to them for the best, and the commander of the Tyne mouth caused his engines to be reversed imme diately, but when it was too late, as it afterwards was apparent, with the most dreadful consequences. Amidst all the hurrying and struggling the majority of the passengers reached the deck of the Tyne mouth, were received into the boats which the hu mane sailors of the moored ships had instantly manned, or had buffeted the tide and at once found safety on the sandy beach. Of the passengers, many of the men had taken shelter in the fore cabin, and when the collision occurred, and the water rushed within, a rush was made by some to the staircase, and by others to the scarcely accessible skylight. Some escaped, others were saved, and yet more we believe to have been drowned, or, as if may be be sides, crushed within the narrow compass of the en- I closure. When information of the accident was received by the Red Star Company, Superintendent Brad shaw, and several other gentlemen proceeded down the river to the scene of the disaster, on board the Walker, but although they examined the wreck, they had not succeeded in finding anything leading to a belief that the results of the collision were so serious as they might have expected them to be. Another errand, made somewhat later by another party, revealed results of unfortunately too opposite a nature to those which the explorers from the Walker had acquired from their researches. About half-past 9 o'clock, Capt. Hall, secretary to the Percy Mutual Insurance Company, accompanied by the committee of the company, set out from amidst the little knot of anxious gazers on the Newcastle Quay to seek for themselves, independently of the praise- worthy efforts of the Walker's crew, some explana tion of the disaster, and to make further inquiry as to the consequences. The Laurel was chosen for the conveyance of the party, and in the bright moonlight a rapid sail brought up the steamer alongside of the now partially revealed hull of the Forester. Spectators were gathered on the beach, sculler boats glided calmly hither and thither, a solitary lamp warned approaching vessels of the submerged wreck, whilst the dark shape of the Tynemouth lay scarcely perceptible on the rocky southern beach. Very quickly and very ener getically those on board the boat set about their work, and in little more than half an hour two bodies were brought up from the cabin skylight. Five bodies in all have bean recovered. The Forester, which belongs to Mr. Dobson, has been sunk once before during the past twelvemonth, and it is only a day or two since that, newly painted and thoroughly renovated at considerable expense, she was again placed on the station. She is insured to two-thirds of her value. HUMAN SACRIFICES.—One of the most difficult tasks of the British Government in India is that of winning such wild tribes as the Khonds to civilisation. In the an nual statement showing the progress and condition of India, recently issued by the Government, there is a report by Capt. A. C. M'Neill, from which it is plain that the prac tice of female infanticide has not ceased in the hill tracts of Orissa ; legal evidence, however, is seldom procurable, and the.only check is considered to be an annual visit at which the agent insists upon seeing all the children of both sexes, and it is suggested that the head men of those villages in which the relative number of the sexes is proportional should receive some mark of favour from Government. Although many more female children are now reared than formerly, it is clear that infanticide must still obtain to in a great extent. Large districts here are inhabited bysacri ficing Khonds. Capt. M'Neill was plainly told the hill tracts of Bundhasir of Karoonde that compulsion alone causes them to refrain from human sacrifice. Is mong the Khonds of Jeypoor he found an uneasy f ee ling prevailing under the relinquishment of sacrifice. In the last three seasons, he writes, the rains had be en scanty in the Karoone and Jeypoor Khond tracts, and the crops of cattle suffered much in consequence. The Khonds were anxious to revert to their long-cherished rite, and applied to the pant rajah of Tooamool for permission to sacrifice, and asked him for a meriah, or vi ctim. This he declined to give, stating that human sacrifices had been prohibited, but offered them buffaloes and sheep. The offer was rejected by the Khonds, and they resolved that, be the consequences what they might, a public sacrifice should take place at the full moon of Poosoo last year. The question was then raised where a victim could be procured, and was solved by a Khond stating that he would hand over for sacrifice a " toorie," who, though not purchased as a meriah, was an agrarian slave, bought for srs. The offer having been ac cepted, the intended victim, an elderly woman, was removed to the village of Puckregoodah, and there heavilyironed, and on an unsuccessful attempt on the part of the pant rajah to rescue her, was taken off and secreted on the hills. The paut rajah then sent an express to the ag en t , and within an hour a guard of 58 sebundies started under a trustworthy sirdar, marched 52 miles in 38 hours over a very hilly and rugged country, and reached the scene of sacrifice as the victim was being removed to the post erected for her im molation. The assembled Khonds, at least 5,000 in num ber, found themselves at the last moment deprived of what they fancied no power could dispossess them. A most de termined judicious tempt at rescue w as ma d e ; b ut t h e B i r d er, mak ing a disposition of his small party, and 50 match lockmen sent by the pant rajah, was able to defeat the at tempt, though he was obliged, in self-defence, to fire when attacked by the Khond s . T ooamoo l , th e scene of this de termined attempted at sacrifice, is an elevated plateau, rising abruptly from the plains of Karoonde to a height of 4.,000 feet. Th e pl a t eau i s a b out 50 m il es i n l e ngth, and its extreme breadth from 15 to 20 miles. It is an undulating country, well wa t ere d ; the l ower ranges o f hills are covere d with dense bamboo and other jungle ; the upper ranges are overgrown with a very rank coarse grass, which in many places attains a h e i g ht o f 12 or 15 feet. No less than 53 in tended victi ms f or sacr ifi ce were r escued in the hill tracts of Orissa in this one season. In Chinna Kimedy the Khonds, when interrogated regarding the renouncement of the meriah, endeavoured to avoid the question by evasive re plies, such 'as-- ,4 How can we sa crifice meriahs when the Yet 30 pe . rsons dedicated to sirdar has taken them away ?" d he9 d o h r o s n a d c r e i h fi l F e e f , s w w e e r r e e rescuedinvari ably meriah goddess, and inte rr n there in the season 1860-61- ably carefully exhorted to remain true to their pledges, and not to be led away by the evil counsels of badly-disposed men.

Last evening the wind fortunately lessened, and the tide was consequently not quite so high as anti cipated. It was nevertheless 19ft. bin. above zero —nearly two feet above the level of the highest land in Marshland. It was again of the same height this morning, but there is now a prospect of its " neaping,'' as the full moon is past, and the weather again very fine. The quantity of land actually flooded by this morning's tide is estimated at full 4,000 acres. Of this quantity 3,000 acres are in Marshland fen, and constitute about half the land subjected to the former inundation, The Smeeth and Fen drain serves 7,040 acres, and the Marshland sewer about 15,000 acres. The whole of these quan tities are liable to participate in tho misfortune, if the extension of the flood be not soon stopped in its progress. It is true that there are plenty of defensive banks across Marshland, some of them dating as far back as the second or third century of our era; but in many places they have been cut through for earth to fill up hollows, or excavated for clay to make bricks—a process still continued, although it may not be so much in favour after the dis astrous results following the use of the bank be tween the two drains. It is satisfactory so far to state that the dam accross the Fen drain of St. Mary's brick bridge was commenced and completed yesterday, between tides, and with such success as to stand against that evening's and this morning's assaults. The frame work consists of six piles driven into the bed of the drain, across which three timbers are fixed hori zontally. The intervening spaces were covered with battens, forming a shield, against which 5,000 sacks full of earth were deposited. The woodwork was executed by Mr. Harding; but the farmers of the district claim the credit of the earthwork, which was done under their direction, as they were dis satisfied with what they were considered the dila tory nature of the engineer's proceedings. As a matter of course, the closing of one channel by the dam has sent the water in large quantities over the banks between dam and sluice, which are still very low—so low that at high water they were for a considerable length invisible. The work of heightening them was resumed as soon as the sub sidence of the water would admit, and sanguine hopes are entertained that by this evening they will be effectually raised the one or two. feet neces sary for their purpose. These raised banks are DOW being systematically made of good clay mixed with straw and roughly paddled. The work is superintended by the farmers of the two districts jointly ; the working committee of Marshland, Smeeth, and Fen, and the expenditors of Marshland taking the lead. The dam at the junction sluice has been com- menced under the direction of Mr. Murray, C.E., and preparations are making for that proposed by Sir J. Rennie, near the sluice. A number of men are engaged in pulling the sluice to pieces, in order to save the materials, which would soon have fallen in a confused heap. The north as well as the south wings are now decided undermined and cracked, and large masses of masonry have fallen into the bed of the drain. The sheet-piling, not long since put down, is also being washed away. But the most alarming fact is, that the south bank, where it joins the bank of the Ouse, is caving in rapidly—portions of a score or more tons weight every now and then falling into the gulf with a crash. They are soon softened and dis persed by the stream. Mr. Valentine, C.E., and Mr. W. S. Simpson, contractor, having been retained by the Court of Sewers, have inspected the Marshland drain, and are making preparations for their work. The first thing is to heighten the banks from the outfall up to the junction sluice ; and it is also intended to have piles and pile-engines, and all other essentials, prepared for striking a dam at any time should it become de sirable. The dam which was put across the junction sluice itself has been taken out again, under Mr. Valentine's directions, to allow the back water to run off through the sewer, as otherwise there was danger of its bursting the dam. The meeting and dinner of the Marshland Agri cultural Association, which was to have been held under the presidency of Mr. G. P. Bentinck, M.P. (an extensive land owner in the district), has been postponed sine die, in consequence of the present • calamity. EXT.RA.O.RDINARY ESCAPE AND SUICIDE OF A LUNATIC GENTLEMAN. Yesterday an inquiry was held by Mr. H. Raffles Walthew, the deputy coroner for East Middlesex, at the Grove Hall Asylum, Bow, respecting the death of Mr. Benjamin Ward, aged 40, who com mitted suicide through mortification at being re captured after an escape, which he effected with singular address and determination. The jury having been shown over the asylum and grounds, John Hill, an attendant, said that the deceased was a private gentleman, and had been an inmate of the Gentlemen's Ward for some time. He had great conversational powers and spoke quite ra tionally. On Thursday evening he watched his opportunity, and contrived to squeeze himself through a ventilating aperture in the dining-room window, only a few inches in width. He then dropped down into the flower-beds, and by some means got over the lofty walls surrounding the grounds. An alarm was immediately raised, but he got clear off. No trace could be discovered until next day, when he was seen quite acciden tally by the barber of the establishment in Mile•end walking into London. The barber, recognising him, came out of his shop, and to his dismay accostea him, and asked him to return to the asylum. Though overwhelmed at the sudden upset of his plans, he made no resistance, but allowed himself to be brought back, and was given into witness's charge. Witness, to amuse him, took him into the garden, and he there said that after he had escaped over the wall he determined to throw his pursuers out of their reckoning by walking to Woodford, which was about 7 miles in the opposite direction to London, and thus avoid the road they would be almost sure to suppose he had taken. When he got to Woodford he took lodgings, where he spent the night. The next morning, however, he considered that if he could get into London he should be more likely to escape notice, and he accordingly set out early to enter it un observed, and he should have succeeded per fectly only for the accident of Gilbert, the bar ber, spying him from his shop as he was passing in the morning. He said that he had set his heart on accomplishing his escape. Shortly after this conver sation witness turned his back for a moment, and directly afterwards missed the deceased. Supposing that he had again tried escape witness had the grounds searched, but without avail. Upon the house being searched, however, he was found hanging to the cornice of his bedstead by a new rope, which he must have bought while in Woodford. The body was warm, but life was quite extinct, and all reme dies proved of no avail. George Gayton, another assistant, having given evidence, Dr. A. Stocker, medical superintendent, said that the deceased when brought back by the barber from the Mile-end-road seemed extraordinarily agitated. He said that he was led to make his escape by a vision which told him his wife was dead. Witness took from him a small penknife of his wife's, and gave instructions to have him carefully watched, which the attendants appeared to have done, except for the instant in which he gave them the slip. The Coroner remarked that it ought to be ren dered impossible for any lunatic to commit suicide in an asylum. Dr. Stocker said that if precautions of an extreme kind were carried out the place would partake of such a prison-like aspect that the curative treatment of the patients wou ld become impossible. There were 100 or 200 patients in the establishment who had been admitted as suicidal, but the cheerful un restraining system had such an influence on them that the present was only the second instance of suicide that had been accomplished. The jury returned a verdict of suicide while of unsound mind. THE LIv.:TNGSi r ON EXPEDITION. In the Geographical Sec tion of the British Association the folloving letter from .DI ..

This (Mr. Monk) said explained the expression in the letter just read, by Dr. Livingston, of regret at her pre mature ap pearance en the Zambesi.—The President 'remarked that it was his decided opinion that ladies should ilot proceed upon such expeditions.—Mr. Craufurd objected generally to schemes of settling at all upon the eastorn coast of Africa, on account of the unhealthy climate.—Dr, Beke , denied that these regions are generally unhealthy.
