SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS LORD BY.ROY. The discussion about Lord Byron waxes fierce and furious, and the Siandard takes part in it very earnestly, holding up the story of Mrs. Stowe as absolutely in credible. Mrs. Stowe wants people to believe :—"1. That Lord Byron conceived an incestuous passion for his sister. 2. That he declared it to her. 3. That she conceived a similar passion for him. 4. That they indulged it ; she, too, being a mar ried woman; 5. That Lord Byron married a third person, to whom he was profoundly indifferent, in order to cloak a crime which, ex confess°, was known only tc the two guilty parties. G. That he then gratuitously in. formed his wife of it. 7. That he tried to persuade hes there was no harm in it. g. That she did not quit him in consequence of the confession and this strange pleading. 0. That he quitted her or drove her from him because she tried to oppose his sin, though he had married her in order more conveniently to commit it. 10. That having driven her from Lim out of infatuation for his sister, he permitted himself to be separated from the latter for the remainder of his life." The Standard goes on to quote the writings of the poet. The way in which he spoke of his sister as "pure,'' " sweet," as lead'ug him away from " stern delight," PI loving him as a sister should, preclude, in the opinion of , the Standard, the possibility of the truth of Mrs. Stowe's story. Then as to " Manfred," he made his hero out to be a murderer. C &Aire tells a story making the poet such. Anybody reading " Manfred '. would—under Mrs. Stowe's theory—be convinced that Goethe was right. WcTs Byron also a murderer? Mrs. Stowe's story, mot cover, is inconsistent. She speaks of two years' of suffering ; the couple were only together one year. Lady Byron is said to have named her daughter after one whose character she knew to be of the worst, and who helZ the affection of her husband. She tells us that Byre's. insanely dreaded to have his guilty secret exposed, am that he wrote about himself and his wickedness with much profusion. She quotes his words about . Ad— a" The child of love, though born in bitterness And nurtured in convulsion," and positively quotes them Incorrectly, substituting convulsions for convulsion, in order to fortify a story she tells about Byron coming suddenly into his wife's room a day or two after the child's birth and informing her, with cruel and malicious untruth, that her mother was dead ; utterly unable to see, firstly, that if Byron had done anything of the kind he would scarcely have recorded it in a poem ; secondly, that " nurtured " does not describe the condition of a child two days old ; and, thirdly, that if the passage is good to prove, which it no doubt is, that Ada was born in bitterness and nurtured in convulsion—not convulsions—it is equallA good to prove that she was " the child of love," a fact utterly inconsistent with Mrs. Stowe's whole story. Examining the foundation of the story, the Standard finds them wholly wanting in stability. She heard some story —it is not clear what—from Lady Byron. She received a paper with dates which are either incorrect, or without the principal times. How did she listen to her ladyship? In several places she speaks of Lady Byron's qualities as divine, and in two places she distinctly compares her to Christ. She talks of her as the impersonation of conscience, as a vision of heaven, as a guardian angel, as possessing a supernatural power of moral divination, as placing people's hands in that of the Saviour, as having more divine strength of faith and love than ever existed in a woman, and as more like a blessed being detached from earth than an ordinary mortal. In this worshipping vein she discourses of her throughout ; and it is plain, therefore, that she sate wraptly credulous during the whole interview, listening as to the sacred words of a celestial revelation, and that it is vain to expect from her at the time any critical or even ordi narily cautious scrutiny of Lady Byron's manner and words, or any submission of them since to the ordeal of reason, consistency, or common sense. The Standard, however, has no doubt that Lady Byron suffered from hallucinations. 'When she was first imbued with the idea that her husband was what she afterwards thought him to be is not clear ; what she regarded him as, is not discovered either. Perhaps Dr. Lushington will—for he ought—tell the world what he knows. But it is not impossible that having had hints made to her by those around her, she evolved out of Byron's heroes a monster image of her husband. But that she was told by Byron of the wicked. ness ascribed to him is inconsistent with her subservient conduct : the whole thing is irreconcileable with Byron's writings and doings- The story is stamped as the sensa tional performance of an American writer of romance skilled in the art of special pleading, and using all her powers of melodramatic art to blast the character of a writes whose verse is the most cherished possession of mankind. This is the Standards' conclusion. The same is drawn by other correspondents of several of the papers. Those who believe the story let it rest on its own ground A I corresponddnt of the Star says:—" Till now it has never been doubted that the poet's conception of `Manfred' was derived from an antecedently issued romance, entitled, The Three Brothers.' It was published, I believe, by the notorious Stookdale, of Piccadilly. The correspon dence of incident, sentiment, Etc., between the two-- romance and dramatic poem—is most remarkable. Indeed, the very name " Manfred" was borrowed from the former." Mr. William Itowitt, writing to the Da4.y News, says that Lady Byron, whom he knew well, though most honourable and conscientious, was subject to a constitutional idiosyncracy of a most peculiar kind, which rendered her, when under its influence, absolutely and persistently un just. "I am quite sure from my own observation of her that, when seized by this peculiar condition of the nerves, she was helplessly under its control. I have seen her of an evening in the most amiable, cordial, and sunny humour, full cf interest and sympathy ; and I have seen her the next morning come down as if she had lain all night not on a feather-bed, but on a glacier—frozen as it were to the very soul, and no efforts on the part of those around her could restore her for the day to a genial social warmth. In such moments she seemed to take sudden and deep impressions against persons and things, which, thought the worst might pass away, left a perma• nent effect. Mr. Howitt gives several instances, of which we quote one : —" Lady Byronwas deeply interested in the esta blishment of working reboots for the education of children of the labouring, classes. On one occasion in one of her most amiable moods, she asked me to lunch with her in town, that we might discuss her plans. She promised to arrange that we should not be interrupted for some hours. I went at the time fixed ; but, to my consternation, found her in one of her frozen fits. The touch of her hand was like that of death ; in her manner there was the silence of the grave. We sate down to luncheon by our selves, and I endeavoured to break the ice by speaking ef the incidents of the day. It was in vain. The devil of the North Pole was upon her. and I could only extract icy monosyllables. When we returned th the drawing-room I sought to interest her on the topic on hich we hadmet, and which she had so truly at heart. It, was hopeless. She said she felt unable to go into it, and I was glad tc get away." The Spectator, discussing the story, says it may or may not have a ground of truth, and that it is to be hoped soon we shall have an authoritative story from Lady Byron's papers. It is very severe on Mrs. Stowe for the way in which she could not keep in the truth, though Lady Byron's own friends have done so. The story is neither complete or authentic. It is a recollection of a conversation which may or may not have been under stood. The Saturday Review in discussing the Byron contro versy says that on Mrs. Beecher Stowe's own shewing, Lady Byron never commissioned her, either before her death or after her death, to give to the whole world this loath some revelation, or to write an article on the Byron mystery in lifacmillan'sMagazine, or the Atlantic Monthly; that Mrs. Stowe has not produced Lady Byron's written memorandum, but only her own sensational amplification of it ; and that, if Lady Byron had acceded—and we have now a good reason for supposing that she did accede—to Mrs. Stowe's own suggestion that " the facts should be put into the hands of some persons" for publication, this intention of Lady Byron's is rather strangely carried out by their publication by one person, and that person Mrs. Stowe, and in this very grotesque form. Lady Byron's solicitors have just told us that the very course recom mended by Mrs. Stowe was adopted by Lady Byron, who, in her will, executed shortly before her death entrusted her papers to certain trustees, thereby excluding every other person than those trustees—Mrs. Beecher Stowe included—from making any use, public or private, of the - great secret of her life. The fact is this, that Mrs. Stowe- could not keep the great secret confidentially entrusted to her, and was bursting for an opportunity to tell it, as much for the purpose of reviving our interest in herself and of being the first to tell a horrible story, as of vindicating the memory of one who in the eyes of right-minded people wanted no vindi cator. So she has told her ugly tale with great inaccuracy and carelessness, in the worst possible taste, for a reason which, if true, is quite inadequate to the occasion ; and, further, as far as we can make out, without the slightest justifica tion arising from any request on Lady Byron's part. Stripped of its verbiage and sensationalism, Mrs. Stowe's authentication and authority amounts to this :—That Lady Byron told her a certain history, and gave het a memorandum of certain facts in 1856, asking for Mrs. Stowe's opinion whether they should be then and there published by Lady Byron for a certain reason in 1856. Mrs. Stowe advised against the publication in 1856 ; and now in 1869, thirteen years afterwards, and nine years after Lady Byron's death, Mrs. Stowe publishes this his tory, authorised and empowered and commissioned to do so by—Mrs. Beecher Stowe. The Spectator thinks there is little to wonder at in the alarm which every rumour abort the Emperor's health creates in Paris. France, with its scientific administra tion, its class jealousies, its inveterate parties, and its capital, at once so powerful and so isolated in opinion, is not the country which can " get on" very well without any Government at all, and the risk involved in any temporary interregnum to follow the Emperor's death is very great indeed, and has been greatly increased by the • death of Marshal Niel. The written theory of the Con stitution is, that on the Emperor's death his son will be proclaimed Emperor, and his wife Regent during that son's minority ; and if the Constitution were "sacred," as it is in America, or as in England, subject to interpreta tion only by a House of Commons, whose will u ould in the last resort be obeyed even by the disaffected, the transmission of power would be sufficiently easy. But, unfortunately, the Constitution in France is based on an unwritten as well as a written theory ; the principle, that is, of individual "representation," with its natural rider that no individual can be considered truly representative until accepted by a majority of the nation. Napoleon might be proclaimed in the most regular and constitutional manner ; but until a plebiscitum had been taken his title would still, under the theory of Cmsarism, be considered bad, so bad that every party would hold itself at liberty on the smallest prospect of success to resist, to corrupt regiments, to " descend into the streets" in armed insurrec tion, which would have to be suppressed—by whom? But it may be said, France, to all appearance, seeks liberty, and liberty being compatible with constitutional forms, the Regency may be quietly proclaimed, and the country governed by a Ministry elected by the Legislature, in fact, by a Parliament. We deny that France seeks only liberty. She seeks that, but she seeks that under logical forms, forms which imply liberty, and not under an absurd compromise with forms which imply something totally different. France, as we read her history, has never yet seen any utility in establishing one government and pretending all the while to establish another. If the Legislature is to be really sovereign, to appoint and displace Ministers at its own discretion, and to pass laws unimpeded by the veto, the majority of Frenchmen will say that the Throne is an expensive surplusage which had better disappear, and under those circumstances it will disappear, because nobody will take the trouble to defend it from the attacks to which it is certain to be exposed. So far from founding anything permanent, the effect of the Empire has been to prevent the possibility of anything founding itself. The temporary dictatorship it established resulted only in destruction, in the removal of all insti tutions, the demoralisation of all ideas, the repression of all men who might have stood between France and a vio lent convulsion. We do not say the dictatorship was not a necessity ; it may have been, for aught we know, just as, for aught we know, an earthquake or an eruption may be a necessity ; but then, though we must accept earth quakes or eruptions as parts of an order too vast for our comprehension, we are not hound to assert without believing that earthquakes found. The John Bull, in estimating our national food pros pects, thinks we may look for a mild and rainy winter and spring, followed by a warm and early summer. A succession of heavy falls in the corn market during the autumn and winter of 1869 will probably tend to check the ardour of importers during the present season. Although prices have recently receded considerably, we cannot but believe that they will speedily recover, and maintain their firmness at fair rates. We pointed out last year the importance of a trade which was then be ginning to assume features of commercial importance, viz., that is, Australia and South America meat preserved by various processes, the best of which, in our opinion, is the fresh cooked food without bone, in hermetically sealed tins. The Australian beef, though very excellent, is not so superlatively fine as the mutton. The short thin grass of Australia suits sheep better than horned kine. On the other hand, the luxuriant and even rank vegeta tion of 2e•nth America suits cattle, though it is too rich and long in feather for sheep, and we shall probably draw a considerable proportion of our beef from the estancias of Buenos Ayres, and the fat plains of Venezuelan Guayana. Within the last fort night a cargo of live cattle has been landed in a toler able state, after a sea voyage of thirty days. A project is on foot, which, if carried into execution, will enable cattle to be imported from South America on a large scale in steamers specially built for the purpose, and making the passage in something under three weeks. The deficiency in the supplies of our animal food is so great that no practicable importation can ever depress prices to a point at which the home breeder cannot make good profit. While thankful for the past year, let us not forget the necessity of straining every nerve if we would continue on our present path of peace and prosperity. The Economist asks, What traffic will the canal com mand ? and what will be the force of its competition with existing trade? Incidentally this may throw some light on the proSpecti of a return to the shareholders, which is in this country, however, mainly a question of speculative interest, as• English capital is hardly at all engaged. There are various ways of arriving at an estimate. One which we find in the last report of the company is to look at the total shipping of the two halves of the world to be connected, the magnitude of the industrial interests on both sides, and assume, in a somewhat arbitrary manner, that the traffic by the canal ?nest be a certain figure. Thus it is said the annual arrivals and departures in Chinese ports are 6,418,000 tons ; in Marseilles alone, 5,000,000 tons ; in Liverpool, 6.000,000 tons ; in the Dardanelles, 6,000,000 tons ; the figure of 6,000,000 tons will be a feeble minimum to take for the navigation of all the commercial navies in the world by the canal. But what ought to be done is to ascertain at the latest date possible the actual shipping by which the business of the East and the West is carried on. This is the nearest measure of the existing wants to l;o supplied. However fast the trade might grow, it would require an enormously rapid expansion to attract new shipping on a lage scale, and such expansion is not to be assumed beforehand. E we know then what the trade is, we may have some means o f es ti ma ting what share, for it can only he a share at first and fur a good many years, will fall to the canal. The total tonnage with which the business of East and West is transacted does not amount to the 6,000,000 tons which are anticipated for the traffic of the canal We ars thus far enough from the estimate of 6,000,000 tons for the canal traffic, which can only be attained after the lapse of some years. That it may in the long run lie attained, if the canal is maintained in good order and reputation, is both possible and probable. Steamers are gaining or, sailing ships every clay, and thoug h the canal dues will be a heavy drawback, there is no doubt that a class of steamers may be constructed to compete for the Indian trade at once, and more slowly with the Chinese and Australian trade. But the work will be one of time, and in the meantime the canal will do well if it is used annually by a shipping of one of two million tons. - In one respect the prospect of a canal yielding no very great return for a time is a matter of interest to us. The Egyptian Viceroy is a large shareholder in the compa.sy —to the extent of £3,000,000, if not snore. Naturally, until the canal pays well, this will represent so much un prolitahle capital, and any expectations of prosperity in the Egyptian revenues through the direct profit of the Viecroy's canal investmentwill Le disappointed for a time.

A BOY OF SINITY-TIIIIEE !—Archdeacon Denison was present at the East Brent harvest home on Thursday, and during the day delivered several characteristic speeches. Replying to the toast of his health, the Vene rable Archdeacon said : He found the air of the place, as well as the kindliness of the .place, produce almost a second youth, and he bad a little story which he would tell, that might betoken a little vanity, but which would be followed by a sequel skewi ng h ow peop l e could b e taken down.

His family—who were veracious people—said of the second, " How did you suffer such a face as this to come out? it makes you look like a boy." He sent a little girl, the daughter of Mr. Fowler, whom they recollected as his curate, one of the likenesses, and she said, " Dear mamma, how pretty he is !" (Roars of laughter.)

TIIE ALBERT ASSURANCE COMPANY. The decision of the Manchester policy-holders, demanding the dismissal of Mr. Kirby from the office of provisional liquidator, meets with the ap proval of numerous correspondents, who write ex pressing their opinion that no confidence can be felt in the administration of a gentleman who has been so intimately connected with the management of the office. Messrs. Merriman and Co. announce that they have instructed Mr. W. J. White to prepare an arrangement, which will be submitted to the Vice-Chancellor when the petition for winding-up the company comes before him. "We confidently expect that the proposal for an arrangement which Mr. White will then submit will be such that ti will not only merit his llonour's approval, but will recommend itself as a satisfactory basis for the solution of all the complica tions of the disastrous affairs of this company. It is only just to inform the public that the pro posed schemes for reconstruction have not yet been fairly submitted for his honour's consideration." The whole matter will be discussed before the judge on the 17th." N very excited meeting of policy-holders was held in Liverpool on Thursday. The proceedings opened with loud approval of the Manchester revolution, de- flouncing the mismanagement of the company ; and the uproar thus begun was continued to the end. One set of speakers fiercely demanded a winding up in Chancery, others not less vigorously called for a voluntary winding up, and a third party displayed much anxiety for some other company to take the ruined business in hand. One gentleman was par ticularly desirous of assuring the meeting that the whole affair was a swindle, a robbery, a fraud, &c. Mr. Provis vigorously denounced Mr. Kirby. Mr. Kirby felt bound to retort at intervals. At last resolutions condemning the scheme of reconstruction proposed by the provisional liquidators, and declaring foracommittee of policy-holders, were passed. It was explained by Mr. Price that the money was paid day by day into the Bank of England in the name of the chief clerk of Vice-Chancellor James, and the provisional liquidators, and that no cheque could be paid without the chief clerk's and their signature. He further stated that there was perfect safety with regard to the payment of premiums, for those premiums were vested in the names of the provisional liquidators and the chief clerk; that a separate account was kept of them; and that if before the Ist January next, the holder decided to discontinue his policy, he could have the premiums repaid. THE ELECTION COMMISSIONS The dark deeds of the Bridgwater Election Com missioners are being brought very completely into the full light of day, and those who have loved the night of oblivion find their position a very painful one under the searching inquiry which is being so Bnccessfully conducted. The bribery has been proved step by step up to Dr. Kinglake, the brother of the candidate, said candidate being the writer of the "History of the Crimean War." A. banker has very conclusively proved that the doctor came to him, and arranged to have £l,OOO if he wanted it. The lawyer, Mr. Lovibond, who describes himself as "the agent of both candidates, particularly of Mr. Kinglake," has sworn that Dr. kinglako told him he was ready to spend £1,500 on the election. Mr. Lovibond related, on Thursday, how at first he refused to have anything to do with corrupt prac tices ; how he stuck to his determination up to the time on the polling-clay when it was evident that Mr. Kinglake would ' lose the day unless something were done; how, hearing that the election might be won for £5OO, he sent a man to the bank for the money, and obtained it without the . slightest difficulty. Other witnesses had pre viously detailed the particulars of the destination of the money. There is only one point more in this train of cases which wants to be made clear. Was Dr. Kinglake cognisant of what was going on ? Mr. Lovibond said he thought not. The doctor will, doubtless, be able to tell. Ile however, is not to be examined on oath—that would necessitate an indemnity. The commissioner called him up, and told him he was to he given the opportunity of making a voluntary statement. He said he would do so. He was told to consider in the course of the next few days. At Norwich, the chief instigator of bribery wno could reveal the whole system being " out of the way," there is more room for concealment, and some very hard . swearing is being done. The commis sioners get very angry occasionally. They have committed a man to prison for contempt of court. At Beverley the municipal elections are still under review. The witnesses mostly deny their belief that payments made in respect of the small contest influenced the greater. WELSH LANGUAGE AND AMUSEMENTS. The Welsh Eisteddfod at Holywell has terminated with a vigorous defence by Mr. Morgan, M.P., of that mode of keeping up the Welsh language. The member for Denbighshire thinks that the is a "high-penned ditty, sung by it fair lady in a summer bower," and complains bitterly of the Sal urdoy Review for calling the tongue an "inarticu late growl." It is impossible to uproot the Welsh lan guage, and, moreover, says Mr. Morgan, it is unde sirable. The attempt has been once made : " I am old enough to recollect the time—more than thirty years ago—when people particularly the aristo• cracy of Wales, said, 'Oh. it's dissent is of Welsh growth alone. If you ignore the . Welsh language. ' and instruct the people in English, the Welsh Church will be able to hold its own.' Has that plan succeeded? I say most distinctly it is a failure, which every true friend of the Church will deeply and sincerely regret." Mr. Morgan then claimed that no nation under the sun could boast of such innocent amusements as the Welsh. In this respect the English could not bear comparison with their neighbours. Such a pro ceeding as the Dunmow Flitch presentation would be impossible in Wales. So it is to be hoped ; but it is ratherlard upon Englishmen to judge them by the Dunmow model.

Some iron girders were recently needee for the construction of a mansion near Bradford. and tenders were invited from both English and Belgian ironmasters. The highest offer received was from a Bradford ironfounder, and was £l2O ; and the lowest, which included the delivery of the girders on the spot, came from a Belgian ironfouncler. and was £63. The latter, it is needless to say, proved successful. - - TUE 310011 S. Reports from Scotland say that the weather was never more propitious for sport. The first eight or ten clays sufficed to dispose of the gre:tt grouse question for the season. Now the most solicitou attention is paid to black cocks and hares. The former are quite up to the average in number, and are in excellent condition ; the latter are surprisingly abundant. As to the distemper which broke out amongst the grouse in 1866 all accounts agree that no traces of it are to be found. It has disappeared as mysteriously as it came. The critics, after thinking a little, are not disposed to be over severe . with Mr. Pierson' s un p u bli s h e d oratorio of -" Heselnah " which has been produced at Norwich.

Scotch enthusiasm could not be repressed during the journey of the Queen to the Trossachs on Wed nesday. The railway companies had issued strict orders that the public was not to be admitted to the railway stations. whilst the royal train was passing through, and that there was to be no cheering or other demonstrations. We are not told whether the people were forbidden on pain of death to look nt the sacred train as it passed alone the line, or whether the public was ordered to stay at home during the journey. But the first stringent regulation proved too much. A telegram was sent to the stations, giving p ermission for the anxious spectators to come in, but not in great numbers. When the public did get in it cheered lustily. " Her Majesty was looking extremely well, and did not seemed to be the least fatigued with her journey." The Royal visit to the Trossachs will last about a fortnight. THE END OF THE "DIAL." If a thing can have an end which never had a beginning, the Dial newspaper may be said to have come to an end. The National Newspaper League are to be put out of their misery. They have paid up 40s. a share many years since, and are soon to receive 2s. a share "as a first instalment." It is pleasant to find that under these circumstances the directors can be cheerful and congratulatory. They "feel it only due to thsniselve4 to remark that they have earnestly, anxiously, and disinterestedly endeavoured at all times to promote the best interests of the shareholders, and they have the consolation of knowing that, notwithstanding the failure of the enterprise, no shareholder (with the exception of those who have paid in full) has suffered any loss beyond a portion of the 40s. — the first deposit on the shares—in which respect the failure of this company is without precedent in the history of joint-stock undertakings." - Upwards of £30,000 was collected ; half of this sum was spent on preliminary expenses, and half of the remainder was lost in the purchase and resale of a moiety of the Star newspaper. This is the sum and substance of what has been done. The directors are manifestly persons easily satisfied—with themselves. TAE BEERSHOP LICENSING QUESTION, Hertfordshire enjoys the unenviable pre-eminence of figuring as the county in which every parish save one possesses a drink shop of some hind. Most counties have several bcerless parishes, some have many, but Ilertfordshire only one. Naturally enough, therefore, the recent change in the hcenshig law has caused an extra amount of excitement in that locality. Now that tlae -- ;;;;lgisiLiCS --- hftWgot the licenses in their hands the beerhouse keepers have fall,m upon uncomfortable times. At several of the petty sessions held within the last few days the inspectors of police have objected to the granting certificates to established beerhouse keepers on the ground that their houses are not respectably conducted, or that the keepers of them are not persons of respectable character. Persons who have been convicted of crime have been sent away without certificates. Other offending dispensers of fluid have been sternly warned that if their ways areot TIIE GLASGOW CONSULSHIP.

The Archbishop of Canterbury has just visited this model parish. He found the path way leading to the church overgrown with moss and weeds ; in the chancel were to be seen many excel lent specimens of fern ; the communion table was partially overgrown iith fungi, &c. ; and the whole fabric was in a sadly dilapidated state. The one service on Sunday is performed by a clergyman coming from a distance. The value of the living is £ti4 a year, and there is no residence. THE COTTON SUPPLY. All interested in the question of cotton supply— and this class must surely include the entire British public—will be glad to hear that the prospect of a large immigration of Chinese to the American cotton States is improving. Indeed, so general is the expectation of an abundant supply of cotton being raised through Chinese labour that in Mississippi the plantations along the river have risen from 25 to 50 per cent. in price during the last few months. Agents are actively employed throughout the South in canvassing for contracts for bringing over large numbers of Chinamen, and they are stated to have been very successful. A few planters in South Carolina are reported to have contracted for 1,000, and the first shipload is expected abou t the Ist of January next. (From the Anglo-American Times.) The Harvard crew, or rather Messrs. Blaikie Loring, and Fay, left Liverpool last Thursday for New York in the Inman steamer City of Antwerp, after writing to Mr. Lord of the Thames Conservancy, as did the Oxford crew, a letter of thanks for the admirable arrangements whereby the difficult task bad been accomplished of keeping the course clear. Last Monday they were entertained at the Crystal Palace by the London Rowing Club, the dinner being followed by a grand display of fireworks, introducing special devices, with the names and colours of the Universities, crossed oars, and so on. Mr. Dickens proposed the principal toast, which was responded to on the part of Harvard by Mr. Lyman and Mr. Simmons. Xoth gentlemen admitted that they never had any great expecta tion of winning, and that they were satisfied with having rowed so good a race against such a crew as that sent by Oxford. Mr. Willa'', on the part of Oxford, admitted the race to have been the hardest he ever pulled, though he had rowed many at Putney. Sir Aubrey Paul, the judg-e, wrote to the papers to correct the general report that Ox ford had won by three or four boats' lengths ; a half to three-quarters of a length clear being the dis tance officially reported by him, to which Mr. IVillan replied by explaining, that just below the " Ship" at Mortlake, they lost one of their four or five lengths a-head by a row boat crossing the bow. After rowing above the Ship for some distance, and fiudirg that they had not reachel the judge, they thought that the flag boA might have been forgotten—in fact some essentials are, as a general rule, forgotten, and having forgotten the means by which the boats were to be started, which caused the delay in getting off, it would not be unrea sonable to sappo3e they had forgotten the boat which marked the finish. Believing this, or that it had drifted, the crew paddled on grumbling, as Mr. Willan says, while the Harvard men w ere rowing with "that pluck and determination" with which they rowed all through the course, and came up with them hand over hand. The result of the race telegraphed to New York when the gun fired, reached the Ame rican metropolis at one o'clock p.m. the same day, and on the next it was known in England what the comments were of the American press. The lead ing article of the Times of Monday on the race was telegraphed by the French Cable to America, and edin America with appapreerasr.ed Theon Tuesdayreselt asw morning reeeiv in the New York great interest, and satisfaction was everywhere expressed at the fair play and hospitality tendered to the Harvard craw, which they desire to return if the Oxford crew will accept an invitation to row next year on American waters. During the past month 29 ships left Liverpool, carrying 14,891 passengers ; 22 of these sailed for the United States with 12,030 emigrants, of whom about half were English, the Germans constituting the most of the other half. These do not include the " short ships" or vessels not under the emigra tion Act, of which there were 19, carrying 929 pas sengers. Of these, five went to the United States with 682 passengers. The total emigration from Liverpool for August was 15,820, an increase of 4,675 over the number from Liverpool during August of last year, and 110 in excess of that of the preceding month of this year. What is remarkable in the return is the steadily-growing increase of English emigration to the United States; a very healthy sign, and one we hail with pleasure. Gen. M'Mahon, late American Minister to Para guay, has arrived, we presume, or will soon arrive in England. He embarked on the 24th July with the lion. Mr. Worthington, from Buenos Ayres for Monte Video, to take the Chili= steamer Pata gonia, bound to this Country. Her Majesty's Mi nister at Buenos Ayres has informed his Govern ment that General ANlahon had reached that city. He left the British subjects resident at Gen. Lopez's head-quarters in good health, well satisfied with their position, and in no way desirous o f leavin g the country at present. He brought away with him a considerable amount of money, remitted by British residents in Paraguay to parties in Europe and America; and it was said that President Lopez bad in some cases made advances of money to enable them to do so. General McMahon purposed at once to proceed to England, and he is the bearer of several letters and messages from these residents to their friends in England. The following is a list of the cases received by Mr. Parish, her Majesty's Consul at Buenos Ayres, from Gen. Bl'Mahon, with the amounts they are represented to contain :—Addressed, Frank Parish, belonging to George Miles and J. Cam bridge, amount, 550 f. ooz. (sic in original) ; Messrs. J. A. Blyth, W. Eden, 400 f. 40oz. ; ditto, Eliza beth Thomas and Elizabeth Cutler, 1,300 f. ; ditto, Capt. Thompson, 500 f. ; W. Hunter, Hunter and Nisbit, 1,218 f. 3 oz. A bag containing P 7 of mixed coinage, to defray expenses." The news is confirmed by the Buenos Ayres Standard, the editor having an interview with the General, - who looked well. " He informed us, amongst other things, that very many of those whose torture and death were so feel ingly and accurately described by army correspon dents and others are alive and in the enjoyment of the best of health." President Grant's letter to President Lopez announcing General M'Mahon's recall evinces a favourable feeling towards Lopez, and is as follows: "Great and good Friend, —Mr. Martin T. Infahon, who has for some time resided near the Government of the Republic of Paraguay, in the character of Minister Resi dent of the United States, being about to return to his country, 1 have directed him to take leave of your Excel lency.
