THE SUN. LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPT. 19, 1862. It is much to be regretted that one of the most extensively circulated of our morning contempo raries should not merely be an advocate of the South, but that it should also grievously misre present the views of the best portion of the North. That., as things stand, the South is in many respects as ranch entitled to our sympathies as the North, we have always roqintained. But that there is one serious difference all Englishmen must admit. The South went to war to extend slavery. That was the distinct is'ar,e. Mr. LINCOLN'S programme was —" .No extewsion of slavery into the yet free terri tory belongNg to the Union ;" that of Mr. DOUGLAS was, scraitter sovereignty, or the right of the squ ..tters to decide. Mr. BELL was for the Union, igT tori.ng the slavery question altogether ; but Mr. B EF.CKENRIDGE, the candidate who carried what r A ay be called the South proper, was a pro-slavery roan throughout. He denied the right of Congress 'to keep slavery out of the territories, and insisted on the infamous Dred SCOTT decision, Fugitive Slave Laws, land the dominance, in fact, of slavery th roughout, the whole republic. Surely, Mr. LINCOLN'S cause—which was definitively to leave slavery where the Constitution he had sworn to 0 1 ", serve prohibited his interference with it, but to 'prevent its extension beyond those limits—surely this was infinitely better than that of JEFFERSON DAVIS, whose creed was that slavery e ccslo de scendit. The Abolitionists, whom the Times so delights to revile, are the men who iu America represent ora CLARKEONS, WILBERFORCES, and BTJXTONS-- names we have not learned as yet to erase from the breviary of Engli s h phil an th ro pists ; they are fana tics, madmen, or they are mere impracticable crotche teers and so forth. But the standing charge against them in the " bigger-hating" North is that they are quite ready to raise the whole of the slaves in the South against their masters, and to " carry murder, Past, and rapine into every household." We are really sorry to see a respectable journal lending itself, in its zeal for the South, to such miserable cant and slang as this. We wonder what Aboli tionist of any character, or any one at all that we ever heard of, can be cited as proof of the existence of inch views among his party. We are Abolitionists. Yet we certainly never wished that a single Southern planter should be touched by a negro, and, notwithstanding all this rant, we are certain that he never would be. It . may be that great numbers of negro proprietors, fee,i, but too reasonably, that they well deserve the aeverest retribution their negroes could inflict— there are doubtless thousands of them who, if they received a hundred or two with the cat or the cow hide, might justify providence a f ter the manner of ADONI-BEZEK. But revenge ; not the negro nature ; to love fre edom is ; and i f the slaves could take it without danger , no doubt the y 'would do it ; but every one who has studied their chara e t e , feels assured that, though they would gladly hold them. selves free from masters whom they have never engaged to serve, they would not touch a hair of their heads. We have the facts before us that in Jamaica and the West India Islands not a case of cruelty, insult, even of taunt, was heard of when the Poor negroes were freed. But, a recent visitor to the island does report cases of the poor gentle crea tures actually Supporting some of their former em ployers who had fallen through misfortune, though they had been cruel employers. In one case a negro was actually assisting to maintain a person who, in the days of slavery had flogged him! We much question now whethera proclamation of emancipation might not be simply ridiculous. The Northern armies are not in the position to benefit by it. Had they at first declared that sla very by rebelling aga inst the Union, had f or f e i te d its protection—had they d eclared tha t all Slaves w ere therefore free—had they enlisted every loyaleol onred person s and treated him as "a man and a brother"—.. had they proclaimed at the same time, that there Mut be no private fighting, no assassination, but that any negro who meant to fight must assume the Federal uniform and join the Federal flag—had they given these pledges of righteous feeling towards the negro, and of humane feeling towards the master, it can hardly be doubted that by this time the Union would have been restored, the negroes would have been working for wages, enormous bloodshed and expenditure would have been saved, Freedom would have fused all the states into one real Federation, and after no long time we should have had a vast republic--too big perhaps for the comfort of the world —but one which might have had all the elements of centuries of rapid growth and prosperity. We should not indeed have cared to demand any very extreme measure of emancipation. Suppose Congress had followed the example of Canada. Perhaps many persons are not aware that the last , slave in Canada was liberated May 31, 1818. There are many, no doubt, residi ng i n t h e prov i nce who were once slaves therein ; but may the child never be born who will ever become one. But as probably the idea of slavery in Canada is new to many of this generation, we give some extracts from the abolition act itself " 33 of Geo. 111., chap. 7, passed May 31, 1793, being the second session of the First Parliament, An Act to Prevent the introduction of Slaves, " Whereas, it is unjust that a people who enjoy freedom by law, should encourage the introduction of slaves, and whereas, it is highly expedient to abolish slavery in the province, so far as the same may gradually be done with out violating private property : Be it enacted, &c., &c., that so much of a certain act, entitled An Act for encour aging new settlers in his Majesty's colonies and plan tations in America,' as may enable the Governor of the Province to grant a license for importing into the same any negro or negroes, shall be, and the same is hereby repealed; and from and after the passing of this act, it shall not be lawful for the Governor to grant a license for the importa tion of any negro, to be subjected to the condition of a slave, or to a bounden involuntary service for life, into any part of the province; nor shall any negro who shall come or be brought into this Province after the passing of this act, be subject to the condition of a slave," &c. '• Nothing herein contained shall extend to liberate any negro subject to such service as aforesaid, &c., who shall have come into this province before the passing of this act, . . . or shall have otherwise come into the posses sion of any person, by gift, bequest, or bona fide purchase. " And, in order to prevent the continuation of slavery in the Province, immediately after the passing of this act, every child that shall be born of a negro mother, shall abide and remain with the master or mistress in whose service the mother shall be living at the time of such child's birth (unless auch mother and child shall leave such service by and with the counsel of such master or mistress), and shall and may retain him or her in their service until every such child shall have attained the age of 25 years, at which time they and eaoh of them shall be entitled to demand his or her discharge, and shall be discharged by such master or mistress from any further service," &c. Suppose now that Congress had sent its armies South with such an act for their standard—what could have resisted them ? The negroes would have trusted the North, would have given them all the information they needed, in stead of leaving them, as they now do, in utter and fatal ignorance of Southern movements; even if they had not fought, much they would have aided the Northern arms, while the planters, conscious of their false position, and unable to disprove the facts of Northern conduct, would have been afraid to leave their homes, not dreading negro cruelty, but desertion of their labourers. Northern hatred of the negro, Northern aversion to summon him to fight for the Union and Free dom, Northern desire to deport him, rather than to enlist his righteous aid, prevented all this. The North will now, in all human probability, miserably fail and fall. Its fate, but for the uncer tainties of war, seems, even now, to be sealed. They bowed down to their MoLoCH, the Union—instead of invoking the aid of righteous ness and Heaven—and Heaven has justly left the triumph to the powers of the Southern Pande monium. The North richly deserves all. It will fall without the regret of either the philanthro pist or the statesman. A requisition to the LORD MAYOR of London is now in course of signature, beseeching the chief magistrate to grant the use of the Guildhall for a Great Meeting expressive of sympathy for GARI BALDI in his imprisonment. Let that requisition be rapidly, numerously, and influentially signed, and the LORD MAYOR'S consent will be accorded without a moment's hestitation. In effect it has been promised beforehand. Naturally enough, how ever, the LORD MAYOR—particularly remembering his conservative predilections—requires, before his consent can be given that the preliminary formalities should be gone through, and that at any rate the request should be made. In anticipation of this great gathering in the metropolis of the empire, it is to be hoped that arrangements may be made ensuring the attendance of men of eminence, likely to take part con amore in such a demonstration as the one proposed. It is a bad time of the year, no doubt, at which to obtain any such attendance, now that the majority of the members of both Houses are scattered far and wide, not only to re mote parts of the United Kingdom, but hither and thither also upon the European Continent. Yet, notwithstanding this serious difficulty, we cannot but feel satisfied that a judicious selection might be made even now among the leading members, especially members of the House of Commons, who are in some moderate degree still acces sible; and who, if but asked to do so betimes, would doubtless be Willing enough to hasten up by rail road from the provinces, to participate in these ex pressions of interest in the hopes of the Italians. and of sympathy for the misfortunes of GARIBALDI. Tidings have happily, it will be observed, already come to hand by telegraph from Professor PAR TRlDGE—tidings which afford us at last some clearer inkling of the physical condition of the sufferer. These advices by telegram from Professor PAR TRIDGE, it will be seen, are under date as recently as the day before yesterday afternoon : Spezzia. 140 p.m., 17th of September. It speaks to GARIBALDI'S English sympathisers, of course, but very laconically : the subjoined being the exact words of this first important preliminary telegram —" We have seen the General. Mr. PARTRIDGE reports that the rifle-ball did not enter the wound, bat struck and broke the inner ankle, laying op en the joint, which now, though painful on movement, is free from inflammation, and is going on favour ably. General health tolerable." It is with mingled feelings that we read this account; for while it is sa tisfactory, no doubt, it is only partially satisfactory. For e xample, while it is Professor PARTRIDGE'S opinion that there is no rifle-ball remaining in the wound to be e xtracted—it is added, at the close of the telegram, that the general health of the Patient is only " tolerable:, While such is the montentaryglimmeriag we obtain of the state of things at'V aMU r i gn __ ° what is the con dition of things in Italy itself otherwise ? If we are to believe the statements that are put forth very confidently by reliable correspondents in the South of the Roman Peninsula, CIALDINI and the rest of the military a u th. r ities there in command,inthe Tr S name, are acting rigour with quite unnecessary in putting down what remnants are still left of th e scattered bands of the Garibaldians. We all knuw, with a painful certainty now as to the exactness of the fact, that those deserters from the Royal army ' ll4lO were taken among the armed bands of tb Garibaldians, have been shot mercilessly in the name and on behalf of " military discipline." The statement was at first contradicted as erroneous, but it has since then been, lamentable to relate, only too clearly verified. Again, there has more recently been issued a sort of contradiction of the assertions made as to the shameful neglect of the comfort of Gen. GARIBALDI, when first carried as a wounded prisoner into the fortress of Varignano. It should be remembered, however, that while the semi-official contradiction of these assertions is as vague as vague could be—the asertions are very ex plicit and very positive. Those assertions yet re main—each of them—undenied : about the bed, the chairs, the bandages, and so forth. And recollect —they were seen by an eye-witness, fresh from the sick room of the wounded Hero ; and by an eye-witness as credible and as well known as General Bum—a Garibaldian, it is true, but an outspoken opponent of that last mad enterprise, which terminated at the close of last month so disastrously at Aspromonte. Indirectly corrobora tive of these accounts of the neglect of GARIBALDI is the complaint formally made within the last few days by certain of his followers—appealing (we trust it may prove not ineffectually) to the authori ties for a cessation of these needless cruelties and ignominies. As a miserable, left-handed excuse, it is now confidently asserted by the Esprit Public, that —"After the defeat at Aspromonte, assassins disem barked on Italian soil, in order to attack the most exalted personages." The paper adding—" In view of such facts the Italian Ministry were compelled to order a trial in order to prove with whom lay the responsibility of the blood that has been shed." Now, we hesitate not at once to proclaim our abso lute unbelief in the accuracy of this disgraceful and infamous assertion. Who will not be ready, upon the instant, to affirm, with an absolute confidence, that GARIBALDI'S enterprise had nothing whatever to do from first to last, sooner or later, with any cold blooded scheme, with the vaguest possible idea of assassination ? Not a single date, not one soli tary name either of place or person, it is observab.e, is put forth in connection with this atrocious accu sation. There is only the naked statement, unsup ported in any way. And referring to it as (in justice to the Hero now lying wounded as a State Prisoner at Varignano), we are constrained to do—we pass it by with mingled sentiments of scorn and abhorence. Very different is the argument advanced by the RATTAZZI Cabinet in justification of its armed op position to GARIBALDI. Allusion being here made of course, to the Circular Note addressed in the name of that Government to the Italian representatives abroad, the Ministerial circular written by General DIIRANDO, under date the 10th of September. " If," says this note towards its conclusion—" If GARIBALDI has been resisted, it is solely because it if convinced that the Government will attain its end, and that the Catholic powers, France above all, will recognise the danger of maintaining the antagonism between the Papacy and Italy." And again—" The present situation is no longer ten able, and would end by involving extreme conse quences, compromising the religious interests of Catholicism and the tranquillity of Europe." Even then it remains inexplicable how it was the Ita lien Government permitted, nay at first encouraged, the movement of GARIBALDI, which it ultimately put down by force of arms ! And—still more in explicable is it under the circumstances—that, be lieving itself to be so constrained to overthrow its chief Benefactor, it should have done so With such unnecessary brutality I wounding him seriously, and quite needlessly at Aspromonte! harshly and when there is no need for it whatever, still retain ing him a prisoner in the fortress of Varignano ! Mr. LAING has had his turn at last. To an as sembly in the MAYOR'S parlour at Manchester, as large, no doubt, as the assemblies Sir CHARLES WOOD addresses on Indian matters in the House of Commons, the late Financial Minister for India, the trusted and trusting co-operator with Mr. CANNING, made his public statement. Mr. LAING has not fully recovered his health, and was unequal to ad• dressing a larger meeting, but if his bodily health be feeble, his mental health, as his speech shows, continues in undiminished vigour. Mr. LAING was not disposed to protract his battle with Sir C. WooD over the matter of the accounts. He not only thought the mode of stating the accounts a trifling question when the cash was any how in the Treasury—the Indian cash balances being by the last account larger than ever, having reached, without any special cause, the enormous amount of nineteen millions sterling—but he fully believed in the goodness of Lord PALMERSTON'S advice, " When a man hits you, try to give him as good as he gives you, and go home and think no more about it." If those may laugh who win—Mr. LAING un doubtedly has the laugh on his side, for poor Sir CHARLES has only muddled his brains to prove that Mr. LAING had not the money, when the result is that he had it, and more too. The majority of Eng lish men of business will be rather disposed to turn from all the worthybaronet's bookkeeping labyrinths, and to accept Mr. LAING'S matter of fact reply— " Well, gentlemen, if you want the money, it waits your acceptance." And so the great one-aad tenpenny rupee difficulty of Sir. C. WooD is now settled throughout the country. Many will regret to see that Mr. LAING'S hopes of cotton from India are very much moderated b the later facts, combined with the incapacity of our Indian Secretary and his Council. Lord SHAFTES BURY'S six millions of bales soon vanished, of course, in the judgment of every one aware of the real state of the case. One hundred and fifty millions of people, all clad in cotton, grow, of necessity, an immense quantity for their own use, and the casual surplus of this was all that could be spared. He thinks that the extra growth will probably be the work of time ; then the state of the ryots and the contract laws both necessitates advances of money, and makes the advances unsafe, while the inferiority of the cotton of a large part of India will prevent its exportation. But the greatest check of all is the uncertainty of the duration of the American war. Mr. LAING is a believer in its early cessation, and expects then an immense supply, which must be sold at any price; but early or late, men of capital will not embark it in Indian cotton schemes, when a sudden fall in the price may cause them to be large losers. He once hoped that " America's trial would be India's opportunity ;" but he now leans to the belief that if cotton settled down to a normal price of fivepence or sixpenee a pound, there would be eventually a large quantity furnished from I ndia. Mr. LAING'S general picture of the advancing and is prosperity of Indi a may be received with consider able confidence, highly gratifying. Wages and the value of produce have everywhere risen 20 or 30 per cent. In some parts they have doubled. " The were better fed, better people everywhere clothed, and were getting out of debt to the native usurers, and roads and water courses were improv ing." The demand for e xports during the Rus s i a n agreatdeal connectedof money into the 1 with the m u ti n y country had brought even the outlay had brought, perhaps, 50 millions of English capital into India, and the value of land had greatly aug mented. Of this last the Government had not 1 availed itself, and land which formerly paid a rack- I rent to the Government now yielded a good estate, besides the former rent. The labourer, Mr. LAING says, gets the lion's share of it, which proves be yond doubt that India is not, according to the old notion, over peopled. A considerable part of Mr. LAING's speech is devoted to the important question, whether Mr. Secretary WOOD or Lord CANNING could govern India best —or, rather in the mere general form, whether India, except in the largest and most important matters, should be governed in Eng land. Mr. LAING'S view, that a competent gover nor, responsible to the Indian public, and not a routine Whig or Tory official aided by an old fashioned Indian Council, is the best, our readers are aware, is the opinion we have also long held. It must come to this. Mr. LAING gives some fright ful instances of the effect, in India, of the meddle some and fussy incompetence of our Indian Secretary. But we must defer, for the present, the consideration of so important a subject. Cabby threatens to take the law into his own hands. Though how he can hope to carry out his intentions in the manner in which he proposes, it is rather difficult to imagine. The Act of Parliament that, but a very few sessions back, regulated the fares, according to their still existing rate of regu lation, is plain enough in itself: not a doubt of it. But, while it is so, it is not always satisfactory either to the hirers or to the drivers of these public conveyances. Bickerings are continually taking place : magistrates are perpetually being re ferred to. The vexation of all this was in fact so obvious and so intolerable that there is a pretty general readiness evidenced to bring about if possible, and this not later than next session, a thorough revision of the existing Cab Act. Gene rally this readiness i 3 among the public, among the hirers; but—among the cabbies themselves—the wish is of course to have things all their own way. They gave us a few years back, it will be remem bered, a taste of all the " disagreeables" incident to a Cab Strike ! They now seem to meditate some thing very like a coup d'etat in Ca bland ! No metal badges—they want, for one thing. Cabby has a soul, if not above buttons, at any rate above badges. He wants a certificate instead. And yet, at the meeting of Cabdrivers, which took place late on Wednesday night—the proceedings (quite in the Parliamentary style, this !) closing at two o'clock yes terday morning—the assembled cabmen indignantly rejected a resolution that was proposed, to the effect that no licences should be granted to " returned con victs,' or to persons who had been convicted crimi nals ! The one great wish apparently cherished by the cab fraternity is to render the minimum fare a shilling! The Legislature says sixpence —but the cabmen stand out, upon the principle of double or quits, for the good round shilling, for what one of our old forgotten poets sang the glories of as— " The Splendid Shilling." Even when it was proposed at Wednesday's meet ing that, during certain hours (that were specified) 9d. should be the fare for the first hiring—this split ting of the difference was rejected as a notion altogether inadmissible. Cabby, however, if he hopes for any good, must submit to something in the shape of a compromise. LAT Es r NEWS. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 19, Morning. The Count of Paris and the Duke of Chartres arrived here on Wednesday evening, after having travelled through part of Belgium. They were received at the Palace, and paid a visit yesterday to the King at Lacken, where a dejeuner was prepared. They left here yesterday. AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 19. The Hamburg and American Company's steamer Teutonia, from New York on the 6th inst., arrived off the Needles at 8.55 a.m. NEW YORK, SEPT. 9. (Per Teutonia, via Cape Race and Southampton.) The news of the crossing of the Potomac and the occupation of Frederick by General Stonewall Jackson, with 50,000 Confederate troops, is con- firmed. THE BOMBAY MAIL. MARSEILLES, SEPT. 19. The Valetta, with the above mail, arrived this day, at 8 a.m. The mail leaves for London at 11.30 a.m. BERLIN, SEPT. 18. In the sitting of the Committee on the Military Budget to-day the Minister of War said that in adopting the amendment proposed by Herr von Vincke the Government had made a concession, which he hoped the committee would recognize as a basis for bringing about a reconciliation between the Chamber and the Government. Such a result would be joyfully hailed by the Government and the country, as averting a deplorable complication. The Minister further said that the discussion of the Budget of 1862 was independent of that on the Budget of 1863. The Government, for technical military rea.,ons, could not give its adhesion to Herr Stavenhagen's amendment as applied to the Budget of 1863, and would consider itself guilty of a violation of duty in consenting to it on account of the present state of peace. The Committee was of opinion that the explana tions of the Minister of War only concerned tech nical military objections to the introduction of the system of two years' service iu the army, and that nothing had been said about a legal settlement of the question. All the members expressed their dissatisfaction with the Ministerial declarations, and Herr von Tweston declared that further discussion would be fruitless. The Minister of War finally said that the Go vernment would be mindful of its promise to bring about a legal settlement of the question. On the motion of Herr Hoverback, the com mittee unanimously declared that the declarations made yesterday and to-day by the Government were not calculated to bring the debate on the Bud get to an end, BERNE, SEPT. 18. The following is a summary of the circular note, dated Sept. 10, addressed by Gen. Durand° to the Italian representatives abroad. ' After recapitulat ing the history of the Garibaldian enterprise, the note continues : " The facts will leave none but a painful recollec tion. That union was not disturbed affords a proof of the political maturity of the Italian populations, their attachment to the Constitutional Monarchy, and the discipline of the army. " Nevertheless, the watchword of the Volunteers was truly the expression of the imperious necessi ties of the nation which cla'ms its capital, "If Garibaldi has been resisted, it is solely be cause it is convinced that the Government will attain its end, and that the Catholic Powers, France above all, will recognise the danger of maintaining the antagonism between the Papacy and Italy. " The present situation is no longer tenable, and would end by involving extreme consequences, com promising the religious interests of Catholicism and the tranquillity of Europe." HEALTH OF GARIBALDI. The following telegram, dated September 18, has just been received from Dr. Partridge : " SPEZZIA, Thursday Night. " Tha General is progressing as favourably as could be wished." Viscount Palmerston arrived in town yesterday, from his eeat, Broadlands, Hants. The Duchess of Inverness, who has been suffer ing from indisposition for some days past, is now much better. The Earl and Countess of Kinnoull have arrived at Brighton from Worthing. Lord and Lady Herzies and the Hon. Misses Maxwell left Thomas's Hotel, Berkeley•square, for Ever ingham Park, Yorkshire. Mr. Thackeray and family, John Leech and family, and all the various members (forty-five) of the Rothschild family, are staying at Folkestone. VACCINATION.—The public returns, as far as they are complete, show that in the year ending at Michael mas last the number of persons vaccinated by the public vaccinators in E gland was but 432,806: only 425,739 were successfully vaccinated, and of this number .00,641 were above a year old. Yet the number of registered Wells in the year in the unions making these returns was 68 - ,646, more than double the number of the infants under one year successfully vaccinated by the public vaccinators. The number of the vaccinators was 3,731. The Court of Assizes of the Gers has just tried a man and his wife, named Caillau, for the murder, on the 9th April last, of a girl named Marie Estingoy, 15 years of age. It appeared from the evidence that the girl lived with her grandfather, Michael Estingoy, a farmer, at Bourcag neres. She was the illegitimate child of Estingoy's daughter, who afterwards married the prisoner Caillau, and had two sons by him. The mother of Marie Estingoy died in 1856, and Caillau soon afterwards was married to the female prisoner, Marie Estingoy then going to live with her grandfather, who was much attached to her. Caillau and his wife were highly incensed at seeing Marie thus preferred to the other grandchildren, etalieu's sons, and they were frequently heard to utter threats against both her and the old man, because they feared that he would give her the greater part of his property. They accord ingly resolved to murder her, and accomplished their pur pose by drowning the poor girl in a pond near her grand father's house. The evidence was most conclusive against the prisoners, who were found guilty by the jury, but with extenuating circumstances. The Court accordingly sen tenced Caillau to hard labour for life, and his wife to five years of the same punishment. LORD RAGLAN UNDER FIRE. —From the moment of the first advance of the British troops, and when the enemy opened their terrible fire of grapeshot, &c., we found our situation on the mortar battery anything but pleasant, and, considering the danger we were in, it was wonderful that any escaped alive. Lord Raglan desired every one, both officers and men, to sit down, so as to keep under cover as much as possible, and not to attract the attention of the enemy by looking over the parapet. But he himself and Gen. Jones, from the first moment that we came into the battery until after our troops had retired, leant over and watched the assault of our allies first, and afterwards our own. It was strange to watch the countenances of these two veterans. Perfectly calm and collected, they talk earnestly to one another, but without any excitement being apparent in voice or gesture, disregarding alike the heavy round shot and Minie ball which every moment flew past them. Shortly after the first advance of our troops, Gen. Jones, while leaning over the parapet conversing with Lord Raglan, was struck on the forehead by a grape shot, which knocked him backwards, we all thought dead; he was caught when falling by one of his aides-de-camp, and gently laid down on the ground. It was a pitiful sight to see the poor old General with a frightful gash across his forehead, his face covered with blood, which came streaming down from the wound. However, to the great delight of all, upon being given some water, he appeared to revive, and his wound being dressed, and a bandage placed round his head, he shortly afterwards took his place again by Lord Raglan's side, who, when he ascertained that General Jones was not mortally wounded, had returned to watch the progress of the attack.--Letters from Head Quarters. There is always an alarm set up in some quarter or another about German influence; and nothing ever comes of it, For a whole generation there has been railing at the German party in Russia : there used to be dismal shakes of the head about a little German Prince when the Princess Char otte was marrying, and about a little German Princess when the Duchess of Kent was educating the Princess Vic toria, and again about him who filled the post to which Prince Leopold was destined : we have heard evil bodings for Portugal, and even for France in the days of the Orleans rule, on account of their German matrimonial connections ; yet each country is as much itself as it ever was. Each absorbs and transmutes the foreign element it takes up, and in this way the Prince of Wales is English and his bride is Danish not the less for the father of the one and the mother of the other having come from Saxe Coburg and Hesse Cassel. The Scandinavian connection will be peculiarly I welcome to Englishmen from the deep affinity which 1,000 1 years have not extinguished. We should have hailed an amiable and sensible young lady from any Protestant coun try, but if we had been offered the choice of her birthplace it would doubtless have been one of the northern kingdoms from which the maritime element of our national character, with all its perdurable virtues, was derived. —Once a Week.

The official intelligence from Montenegro, published by the Turkish press, rune thus : " The Imperial troops remain in what is con sidered a favourable position on the heights of "Vika, to allow the Senate to deliberate on the last ulti matum of the Serdar Ekrem. The propositions of the latter are :-1. The formation of a military road from the side of Scutari and Herzegovine to Cet tigne. 2. The erection of block houses in the Mountain gorges. 3. Permission to the Montene grins to obtain all supplies from Spitza, excepting arms and munitions of war. 4.

The following items of general intelligence are taken from the Levant Herald : " His Highness Said Pacha, Viceroy of E gypt, who arrived in his steam yacht Feizi-Djihat two days back, has taken up his quarters in the yal iof Tchapara Oglon in Arnaout-kepi, which has been placed at his disposal by order of Government. The Viceroy, a few hours after his arrival, pro ceeded to the Palace of Dolma Baktche to pay his respects to the Sultan." POLAND. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. WARSAW, SEPT. 13. Another of those acts, which are performed here solely with a view to impress Europe with the clemency of the Czar to his Polish subjects, has been published in the official journal Dziennik Powizechny. It is an order from the Grand Duke Constantine, purporting to raise the state of siege in the Government of Radom. To understand this so-called concession, vo n must b e a ware that in March, 1833, t h e late Emperor Nicholas placed the country in a military state of siege, which still remains in force ; but on the 14th of October, 1861, Count Lambert, then Governor of Poland, thought it necessary to proclaim another state of siege, no doubt to recall to the inhabitants the pre vious one, by adding to it sundry regulations, such as making a policeman or a corporal billeted in a village master of the lives of the poor peasants. The object, therefore, of the present ukase, so very exclu sive a s to apply only to certain districts, is to release them from some petty vexations of the police, and leaves the country where it was placed by the ukase of March, 1833. This explanatio❑ was necessary, because the Oerman press, so inimical to the Po_e,, displays all its imaginary powers to pourtray, ou that account, the Russian system in Poland as couleur de rose. The document itself is as fol- lows :—•-• The Grand Duke Namiestnik of hie Imperial 1 1 ,1ajesty in the Kingdom of Poland. "In pursuance of the orders of his Imperial Majesty, the state of siege was proclaimed in the Kingdom of Poland, with the view of insuring the peace of the inhabitants and the restoration of order, on the 2d (14th) October, 1861, by the Commander-in-Chief of the Ist army, and the acting Namiestnik, "Being now satisfied of tho possibility of raising this state of siege, in power of the authority given to us by his Imperial Majesty, we direct as follows : " Art. 1. The state of siege established on the 2d (14th) October, 1861, is abolished in the provinces of the Govern ment of Radom, viz., Radom, Sandomir, Opoczyn, Opatow, Kielce, Miechow, Olkusk, and Stopni, but not in the towns of Radom and Kielce, in which the state of siege shall con tinue in force until further orders. " Art. 2. The rights and dutiesof the military commander of the district of Radom shall be regulated, in the towns of Radom and Kielce, by the instructions issued in the an nonncement of the 2d (11th) October, 1861, concerning the state of siege; but in all other places in the Government of Radom these rights and duties shall be regulated by the in structions issued by the Commander-in-Chief of the Ist army and Namiestnik on the 26th March, 1861, for military commanders, before the proclamation of the state of siege. " Art, 3. The rules regarding the possession of arms ate to remain in full force. "Art. 4. The ukase of the 11th (23d April), 1833, plac ing political offences within the jurisdiction of military tri bunals, shall also continue in force. "Art. 5. The chief of the civil Government and the military commanders in the kingdom are charged with the execution of this decree. " CONSTANTINE," Beyond this affected boon, everything is as be fore—daily arrests without the slightest provoca tion, and ceaseless tyranny of the military, who, half drunk, attack every one in the streets. The other day, on the occ sion of the arrival in this city of the Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburg-Streh litz, a shoemaker, named Lewis Zaknoski, hap pened to be walking in the streets with ilia wife. Suddenly separated from his wife by the crowd, he ran alter her, when he was seized by the Cossacks, belaboured with their whips, and imprisoned. In vain did the poor man try to establish his inno cence. He was taken before Fedoran, chief of the Police, and sn cruelly flogged in his presence as to doubt whether he will survive. Talk now of the abolition of the corporal punishment in Russia by the Emperor, so much trumpeted in the German journals. The head of our Civil Government, the old Mar quis Wieiopolski, is sufferiog from great nervous.. ness,which has assumed almost alarming symptoms. He fancies himself to be always pursued by some miscreant thirsting for his blood, and is never without a pistol in his pocket, even in his own house. A few days ago, when presid ing at the board of the Finance Committee, he was being presented with a parcel of papers, he thought he had seen the gun aiming at him, and he drew out a revolver from his pocket in self.defence, till disabused of this extraordinary vision. His chief occupation is still to wage war with the hats, being desirous of forcing every one to wear the ordinary cylindrical hat prescribed by his order. This exposes him to be made a laughing-stock of the population, who naturall) do as they like in this respect; the public functionaries, however, are compelled to conform to this most absurd and tyrannical regulation, as disobeying it is tanta mount to a dismissal from office. The new Minister of the Interior, Count Keller, has just entered upon his functions. At his in stallation the absence of the Marquis Wielopolski was noticed. The new Minister is a Russian pro tege, and has been appointed to the no small surprise of all here. He pronounced an address, or rather read it, full of promises, as all the Russians do, of which nothing is expected. His predecessor, M. Krzyniski, who fulfilled his duties per interim, is a man of great ability, and has accomplished much for the benefit of education within a short space of time. THE STOCK OF COTTON. After a lengthened period of depression, it is cheering to find that there is some rally in the esti mated stock of cotton on hand at Liverpool, which it is also confidently affirmed is understated. The movement of thestock in the second half of the year nas been as fullows, as compared with the corre sponding period of 1861 and 1860:- 1862. 1861. 1860. Bales. Bates. Bales.

Should this prove to be the case the worst phase of the crisis will have been traversed, as every month must inc: ease the productibility of the new soarces of supply now in course of development. DONCASTER GRAND ORGAN.—The magnificent organ of Doncaster Church, built by Herr Schulze, of Ger many, is to be opened next week with special services on Thursday and Friday, as well as on the Sunday followirg. The Bishops of Lichfield, Oxford, Lincoln, and Glocester and Bristol, and the Rev. Dr. Atlay, vicar of Leeds, are to be the preachers on these occasions. The instrument itself is one of extraordinary sweetness and power, and is confi dently spoken of as one of the finest organs, if not the very finest, in England. A very beautiful pulpit is to be opened at the same time. The great east window of the church, designed as a memorial to the late vicar, the Rev. Dr. Sharpe, is still in the International Exhibition, and will not be placed in the church until the Exhibition is closed in November. When these three remaining features are added, the parish church of Doncaster will have made good its claim to a foremost place among the sacred buildings of the country. THE SCREW STEAMER PETERHOFF AND THE BLOCKADE.—Many reports have of late been circulated to the effect that the steamer Peterhoff, Captain Highly, be longing to Messrs. Z. Pearson and Co., of this port, was in tended to run over to one of the blockaded ports of America. We have good authority for stating that such has not been the case. On Monday the owner received a letter from Captain Highly, stating that he left Bermuda for Nassau on the 13th of August and arrived at the latter port on the 23d. When sighting Nassau Captain Highly observed what turned out to be a Federal cruiser lying too off the harbour, and it was afterwards ascertained that she had only arrived in the neighbourhood a few hours before the Peterhoff, and had doubtless been watching for that ve ssel. However, the cruiser made up to the Peterhoff with the intention of at least overhauling her. The commander of the British frigate Melpomene, which is stationed at Nassau to prevent any outrage on the British flag, saw the movement, and slipping her moorings at once made towards the two, when the cruiser drew off and sailed away. The Peterhoff th en en tered the harbour and has since discharged her cargo. CLOSE OF THE SCOTCH SALMON FISHING.—The salmon fishing in the northern Sc o tti s h rivers t erm i nate d on Saturday last. Alike in regard t o th e num b ers caug ht an d the prices obtained, the present season has been far superior to any year for a considerable period; so that the proprietors and the " tacksmen " have been well remune rated for their labours, No little share of the increased de mand for the "Royal fi s h" an d hi g h er ra t e o f cost way be attributes to the influx of strangers to 1,,,nd0n daring the past few months. The Duke of Richmot,d's great river, the Spey, has this year yielded twice the number of salmon it did last season, and three times the amount of trout. Another fine water in the same locality, the Deveron, has been unusually prolific both for net and rod. On the Banff shire coast th e se a -fi s hi n g s are estimated as being worth more than they have been for 10 years back. At the sta tions of Purtknockie and Whitehills alone some 12,000 fish have been taken. On the Findhorn, the .Ness, and the Beauly, all good fishing rivers, there have been better takes than for seme years back, though it cannot be said that either of these waters has been so productive as it used to be in earlier seasons. At the Dee and Don fishings, Aber deen, there has been an advan . c o in the numb er thi s year over last—in the one case of a fourth, in the other of a Bizth, the fish being, further, ofezeellent size and quality, lIIBEA7ENING TO SHOO 7 SIR GEORGE G.R.E Y. BOW. STREET.-(THIS DAY.) George Winter, 70, Ncurrier, residing at 16, Newcastle court, Strand, was brought up by Inspector Mackenzie, on a warrant obtained a few days ago, charged with sending letters to Sir George Grey, her Mjesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department, in which he threatened to shoot him and murder him. Mr. Pollard attended from the office of the solicitor to the Treasury. Mr. Henry Cole said—l am a clerk in the Treasury. I received the litter I now hold in my hand, yesterday. It was as follows : To her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Dsparttuettt. Oot. 13, 1862. I have repeatedly sent letter after letter, and received no answer. Provided the asylum business of Colney Hatch is not attended to by 12 of this day, I shall dis charge my double-barrelled pistol the first opportunity that off-rs.—l am your humble servant, GEORGE WINTER. J. H. Cole, Esq. On the flyleaf was a letter as follows 42-- " I demanded my rights openly at St. Paul's, before the congregation. They said 1 aimed at the Archbishop, Mark, Luke, snd John. The bell was tolling for the corpse. The moment I reached the bottom step, my rights to the asylum I demanded, or the keys and org*n allowed by the authority of the Queen. Some gentlemen pulled me down on the chair, I shall indict them for the assault and battery. Be careful I don't mistake youfor the Secretary of State. I am in no way particular." Other letters in the hands of the police referred to shoot ing Sir G. Grey, and having blood for supper. They were all enclosed in the official envelopes of the Paymaster- General's office, and addressed "J: H. Cole, Esq., Treasury." Mrs. Elizabeth Brown said—l reside at 16, Newcastle court. The prisoner lodged in our house. I have repeat edly seen him writing. The letter just read is the letter I saw in the prisoner's hand a few days ago. Dr. Richard Paynter said—l am a surgeon, residing in Brydges-street. I have examined the prisoner. He tells me Sir George Grey is shot, azd that he (the prisoner) is accused of having done it ; but he says it was a soldier who did the act. I am decidedly of opinion that he is a persons of unsound mind. He asked me who was supreme in this country, Sir U. Grey or Dr. Milman. I told him Sir G. Grey in some cases, and Dr. Milman in others. Mr. Henry (to prisoner)—Do you hear what is said about you ? Prisoner -Yes. I know Dr. Milman has forgiven me, and I have beenin the cathedral every day since. There's no occasion, therefore, to go into the matter. Mr. Henry—Do you mean to say Dr. Millman has forgiven you for shooting Sir G. Grey. Prisoner—Yes, he's got the power. Mr. Paynter —He has various other delusions about the attacking of Buckingham Palace and St. Paul's Cathedral. Mr. Henry—lt appears that the man is clearly a lunatio. Just let the female witness stand forward. Do you believe the person to be a person of unsoutd mind from what you have seen of him. _ _ _ Mrs. Brown—Well, when I have spoken to him at home he always appeared right enough. He always thanked me when I did anything for him, and appeared calm enough. He pays 3d. a night for his bed, and when he has anything extra he always pays for it. Mr. Henry—There appears to be not the slightest doubt about his insanity. Inspector Mackenzie—l have here, your worship, a num ber of ocher letters, all bearing evidence of having be en written by a person of unsound mind. Mr. Henry—There is no doubt of it. Prisoner—l tell you again Dr. Milman has forgiven me for what I have done. Mr. Henry—l will send the prisoner for examination by the parish surgeon, and if he concurs with the opinion of Dr. Paynter I will sign the usual order for his admission to Hanwell Asylum. The prisoner was then remanded. POOR LAW BOARD REPORT. The annual report of the Poor Law Board states that the . expenditure for the relief of the poor in England and Wales in the year ending at Lady-day, 1861, was £5,778,943, equal to a rate of ss. 9d. per head on the population, being 3d. more per head than in 1860. But in 1834 it was no less than Bs. 94d. per head; in 1837 it had fallen to ss. 5d., and h s ever since ranged between that sum and nearly 7s. 2d. (in 1848). This is the expenditure for relief of the poor, salaries of officers, and all expenses connected with relief; but the poor rate is for a much larger amount, including in the year 1860-61 as much as £1,925,210 for county, borough, and police rate, and comprising other charges unconnected with poor relief, bringing the total up to £8,395,211, of which £330,548 was contributed by the Treasury, and the rest had to be raised by the rate. The net annual value of the rateable property in 1841 was £62,510,030, and in 1856 it had grown to £71,810,271; in this last year it was ascer tained that the gross estimated rental was £86,077,676. Returning now to poor law affairs proper, we learn that the number in receipt of relief at one time, taking the mean of the numbers on the Ist of July, 1862, and the let of Jan., 1861, was 883,921 in the year 1860-1, being 4.4 per cent. Of the population. In 1849 the number was 1,088,659, but it has since been gradually decreasing; 1861, however, showed an advance upon 1860 from 4'3 per cent. to 4 . 4. Of adult ablebodied paupers (chiefly women) the number was 145,77 6 , 16.5 per cent. of all the persons relieved; in 1849 the num ber was 228,823, a fifth of the whole pauperism. The de crease since 1849 in the average number of paupers of all classes is 18 . 8 per cent., and 36.3 as regards able-bodie d paupers. Some further particulars are given for the Ist of January itt the present year in regard to all England, with the excepting of some unions containing together about 250,000 persons, from which returns have not been ob tained—viz , the number of paupers in receipt of relief Was 945,269, being an increase of 63,401 over the previous ISt of these were adult able-bodied P e " osofnjsa,naunaryinerje6a.7:s3eosf 17,009; the number of vagrants wise 2,830, an increase of 889 ; the insane, 34,183, an increase of nearly 1,300.
