`r &E INTEL.VATIONAL RACE ON THE T EYE. The International race on the Tyne won by Brown, the American champion, against the well known Sadler, seems to have been an interesting affair. This was the second time in the annals of aquatics that an Englishman and an American have been arrayed one against the other, and as in the race between Hamill and Kelley three years ago, the Tyne was the scene of the encounter, but the result on this occasion was different, al though a race between the champion of one country and a second-class man of another can scarcely be deemed a representative contest. Mr. W. Johnson, captain of the Tyne Amateur Rowing Club, was appointed referee at a meeting of the parties on the pre vious night; and as a clause in the articles gave the men the liberty of rowing either on the flood or the ebb, ho decided, in consequence of the continuance of the rough weather, that they should row down from Scotawood to the High level Bridge, the greater mass of the people assembled thus having an opportunity, not often vouchsafed, of witnessing the conclusion of the contest, which proved unusually close near home. Brown had the north shove, nearest the Scotswood-road, and got away very fast at the start, and aided by a very fine ebb, was half a length in front at 100 yard 3. Sadler, on his own part, also rowed very rapidly, but failed to make any headway on his op ponent, who had cleared himself in a quarter of a mile, Sadler rowing very wide of his man, and going con siderably out of his way towards the Derwenthney. Brown plying his sculls rapidly, though much less so than Hamill, steadily improved his position, leading by two lengths at the top of the King's Meadows, and three lengths at Paradise-quay, a mile and a quarter from the start. No change had occurred as they rowed along the Meadows past Sir William Armstrong's works, but on nearing the Little Annie, Sadler appeared to wake up to a sense of the fact that he was nearly four lengths astern, and as they passed Waterson's Gates, scarcely more than two lengths separated them. Amidst the wildest cries in the Northum brian, interspersed with a few observations in the London vernacular, Sadler gradually gained on his man, who, on his part, was apparently tiring. At the Shot Tower Sadler was nearly over his stern, and in these positions a fine race was rowed to near the Skinner Burn. Hero Sadler overlapped his opponent a little, but his exertions in getting up were clearly telling on him, while Brown had still an effort left. A little further on, by a fine spurt he shook the Londoner off, and the latter retired dead beaten ere their arrival at Wylie's Quay, Brown rowing in by himself amidst tumultuous applause. The time occupied was 21 mins. 30 secs., which of itself will shew both the severity of the race and the strong wind behind the men. LAW AND POLICE. rIIE SALE OF ToaAcco.—ln Vice-Chancellor James's Court a case has been heard in which the Queen of Spain was the plaintiff. The bill was filed before the revolution, and the question was as to the right of the defendants, Parr, Hermann, and Co., tobacco merchants, to certain commissions out of a parcel of tobaoco from Manilla, consigned to them on behalf of the Spanish Government. The sales had been countermanded by the local Government of Manila, who gave instructions to the defendants' house in that tows but before the instructions reached England part of the tobacco had been sold. The dispute was as to the amount of the commission. His Honour held that as no case of misconduct had been made out against the defendants, they were entitled to half the commission they would have received if the sale had not been countermanded: They must also have interest on a sum of £2,699, which they had advanced in payment of insurance premiums on the tobacco though a profit of 10 per cent. charged on this transaction could not be allowed, as the defendants could not make a profit of that nature without first communicating to their principals their intention to pay cash and obtain discount GRANTING INJUNCTIONS.—An injunction was sought in Vice-Chancellor James's Court, to restrain the defendant from any interference with the access of light and air to the premises of the plaintiffs, who are bankers in the City. The Vice-Chancellor said there was sufficient doubt in the matter for him to refuse an injunction, unless the plaintiffs would give an undertaking to be answerable in damages. He intended to act upon that principle in all these cases until overruled by the Court of Appeal. The motion stood over. THE NATIONAL AND PROVINCIAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. The ordinary winding up petition has been presented in this case but there is a difficulty in serving it. The Com pany, which had its offices in Moorgato-strcet, ceased business several years ago, and it was believed was now merged in the Albert. A letter had been addressed to them at Moorgate-street, and returned through the Dead Letter Office, with " Try 8, Graccchurch-s treet," on it. This also was useless. Only one of the directors could be traced, and he was abroad. It was proposed to serve one of the trustees, an eminent Queen's Counsel, and the auditor. The Vice-Chancellor said if the general orders had been complied with that was sufficient, the company being represented by the Albert. OVEREND, GURNEY, AND CO.—PAYMENT OF CREDITORS. —"Vice-Chancellor Malins attended at Chambers to hear an application for payment forthwith to a creditor of Overend and Gurney of his balance and interest amounting to £1,400. Mr. Stephenson, the applicant, was a depositor of £12,000 when the bank failed. The Vice- Chancellor declined to make an order for payment forth with. He thought it was a matter of rejoicing that all the creditors had been nearly paid in full, and by a little waiting would also have interest. The principal could be paid at once. A TELEGRA.PMC Firaun•—A man named O'Neil has neen sentenced at the Middlesex Sessions to twelve months' hard labour for attefnpting to defraud. He sent a fictitious telegram purporting to come from the prosecutrix's son in Scotland, directing payment of an account to be made by his mother. The device was fortunately detected. 13ETTOTG-HOrSE PROFITS. —A man named Adams, the keeper of a cigar shop, has been charged at Marylebone Police-court with allowing betting, and an assis tant with aiding him. Adams had been fined £5O before, and the magistrate said he should give him £lOO, and Lavies, his assistant, £3O, and that was only on condition they shut up the place and got rid of the stock. If they would not do this he should send them to prison for three months without a fine. He would give them two days to consider. The defendants said they preferred paying the fines, and handed £l3O to the gaolor. The Archbishops of Cantertury and York have appointed the close of the month of November for receiving the address of sympathy to the Irish Church. It has re ceived a vast number of signatures. Peter Barrett, who is charged with attempting to murder Captain Lambert, in Galway, and in whose case the jury disagreed at the late special commission, was brought in the Irish Court of Queen's Bench on Thursday under writ of habeas coepus. After a legal plea in arrest of the proceed ings was refused, the prisoner pleaded not guilty, and was remitted, until his trial is fixed, to the custody of the governor of Kilmainham. A case of considerable importance as involving the question of the Midland Railway Company's liabilities as "common carriers," was tried on Thursday at the Chesterfield County Court. It was to the eff, et that the company could not be treated as common carriers of c( al, and that their common law liability was limited by such teasonable regula tions as they might find it necessary to make in conducting an enormous traffic. His Honour, therefore, directed a nou suit, but notice of appeal was n. It was intimated that the Midland Company merely wished to settle a principle, and therefore did not apply for costs. THE ARREST IN CORK. —A. Difolin correspondent writes :—" The man arrested on Wednesday mornin ,, in Cork, for complicity in the recent murder of Daniel Callaghan in that city, is named O'Ri)rdan—not Cotter, as stated in the first account. Prom the secrecy observed by the police, it i; apparent that the arrest is regarded as one cf great import ance. The house in which he lived was twice searched by policemen, but nothing was discovered• He was examined privately before the stipendiary magistrate on Wednesday afternoon, and remanded for eight days. O'Riordan, who is a carpenter, was arrested on the first breaking cut of the Fenian consi iracy, but was soon afterwards liberated, on the same terms as other Fenian Taisoners. ACTION FOR THE LOSS OF A CAT.--At the Godalming linty Court, Mr. James /1:,,k brolght an action ag:in4t Mr...famcs 1 . 1%;‘, - n fo;•the los3 of :scat, alleged to have bec 11 killed by defendant's dug. cat was valued at a guinep, and soveral witnesses were called to prove that defendant's dog l.illLd several cats iii the town. Defendant was willing to pay reasorable compensation if it could be proved that his dog killed the cat, but he con tended that there was no evidence of that ; besides which he said that the claim of a guinea was preposterous, when eats were to be had for nothing.—Plaintiff said he had been offered a guinea for the cat, which was a very peculiar one. —ln reply to the judge, a witness stated that he saw the defendant's dog with a cat of the same colouras the plaintiff's cat upon which the defendant's solicitor suggested that a dog would naturally take up a dead cat. Plaintiff said defendant's dog took up live ones. The defendant's solicitor contended that there was no proof that the p7aintiff's cat was killed by defendant's dog. The Judge thought there was, and that it had killed other cats. He I therefure gave a verdict for the plaint; f for ss. awl costs. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS, A NEW MINISTEY FOR FRANCE. The Paris correspondent of the Daily News has; received important intelligence. The Emperor has made up his mind that he cannot face the Legislature and the country with his resent Ministry—a Cabinet which has not a majority in the Chamber, and which did nothing to bring about the late reforms. M. Emile 011ivier has received the Imperial command to form a now Cabinet, and to bring into it four of his political friends of the tiers parti. " I have reason to think, though changes may be made at the last moment, that these four will be the Marquis de Talhouet, MM. Segris, Buffet, and Louvet ; the last name is, perhaps, more doubtful than the others. M. 011ivier will bo in Paris on Saturday, and there is conside rable probability that the new Ministry will be gazetted on Sunday or Monday." MM. Magne and Chasseloup-Laubat will form part of the new Cabinet, but it is not yet clear what will become of that most obnoxious official, M. de Forcade la Roquette. ILLNESS OF THE ARCIIELSHOP OF CANTERBURY. It is with great regret that we announce the seri ous illness of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Dr. Tait has not of late years been in very robust health. When first he entered on his duties as Bishop of London ho very considerably injured himself by con tinuous hard work, and any very great exertion is apt to lay his Grace aside. He is now at Broadstairs. So serious is the attack that his London medical atten dant (Mr. Seymour Haden) has been telegraphed for. It is to be hoped that an improvement will soon be announced. We cannot afford to lose Dr. Tait yet. VISIT OF THE KING OF THE BELGIANS. The reception given to the King of the Belgians is thoroughly English. It has been organised after our queer fashion by an irresponsible committee, whose only redeeming feature is that by an accident some members of the Corporation of London sit upon it. There is this to be said, however : if the arrange ments had not been thus made, they would either not have been made at all, or would have been accomplished tardily, and, therefore, ungraciously. The volunteers, after the committee of which Captain Mercier is secretary had nearly done the work, suddenly became conscious that something was due from them as a body to the King of the country which had received them so enthu siastically ; and they are likely to give honour to whom honour is meet Meanwhile the Committee first in the field have had an audience with the King ; and on Thursday afternoon next there will be a grand presentation of an address to him at Buckingham Palace. An evening contemporary states that it is proposed to present the freedom of the City of Lon don to his Majesty before ho leaves this country. QUEEN'S COUNTY. Eor the vacancy caused by the elevation of Mr. Fitzpatrick to the peerage, several gentlemen have been mentioned as probable candidates. Whilst others are deliberating on the matter, Nr. Edmund Dease has boldly entered the field at once, and has already addressed a meet ing as a supporter of Mr. Olacistone's Government and the advocate of " all public rights and privileges." Mr. Dense himself regards this enunciation of his policy as exceedingly vague, and therefore promises to explain his views more fully at some future time. The son of Mr. Fitzpatrick, the Solicitor- General for Ireland (Mr. Barry), Mr. Cosby, and Major Knox (who was unseated for Sligo), are also mentioned as likely to come forward. A correspon dent of the Dublin Express states that a proposition will be made to the Queen's County Farmers' Club to adopt Mr. John Stuart Mill as the - Liberal candidate. Nothing, however, has yet been definitely settled. MR. LEATHAM ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS. Mr. Leatham has been addressing his constituents at Huddersfield, on the past and future of the political world. His review of the last session, as containing little new, may be passed over. But in speaking of the coming. measures, he revealed a wide divergence between himself and the advanced army of Libe ralism on the subject of Education. Mr. Leatham is in favour of national education, carried on by the State out of the general taxes of the country; and he opposes the whole scheme of local rating and. management. On the Irish Land question, he con sidered they ought to look for a remedy of the evils complained of in measures which should encourage as much as possible, short of compelling, a bond file system of leasing, and which should discourage as much as possible, short of prohibiting, tenancy at will. Respecting the Ballot, he said he did not know what were the intentions of the Government, but on the very first day of the session a notice would be put upon the paper in favour of the Ballot, whether Ministers supported it or not. TIIE UNIVERSITY TESTS ACT. Mr. Carvell Williams, as representing the Liberals and the Dissenters, speaks of the latter as I becoming impatient, and heart-sick with hope deferred. Ho addressed a meeting at Manchester a day or two back, and was much displeased with Mr. Forster for saving he was half afraid the University Tests could not be dealt with next session ; the G overn ment would not have time. Said Mr. !Williams, " The question of time was important to other Reople as well as to the Government. It was impor tant to individuals to whom further delay meant final disqualification, so that the relief when given would be given to another, and not to the present generation." The speaker also demanded the uncon ditional surrender of protective privileges. He would not be content with the Solicitor-General's Bill. The lion. L. Stanley addressed the same meeting ; and also urged that the University Tests Bill should be passed—for it could be so far as time was conctr :ed —next year. RIOT PROSPECTS IN IRELAND. The Roman Catholics of the North aro much aggrieved by the constant and exuberant celebration by Orangemen of the victories gained in civil war— the Battle of the Boyne and the Relief of Derry. Those resident in London have forwarded a memo rial to the Lord-Lieutenant, praying that he will stop these Orange demonstrations, which are odious to two-thirds of the inhabitants of the city. Nor do the Catholics rest satisfied with beseeching. They frankly tell his Excellency that an asso ciation numbering some thousands has been formed for the purpose of preventing these exhibi tions if the Government does not interfere to put an end to them. Large quantities of arms have been distributed amongst the members of this society, and a sanguinary fight between the two parties is far from improbable. The next anniversary is the 18th of December. The Orangemen should remember that celebrations for victories gained over foreigners and for victories gained over their countrymen are very different. The latter aro calculated only to perpetuate the bitterness of class and religiou s ani mosity. MODERATION IN IRELAND. The lay and clerical Catholics of Kerry, headed by Lord Castlerosse, have presented £7OO to Dr. Moriarty, their bishop, to defray his expenses to the General Council, and £2OO has been sent as an offer ing to the Pope. This present is not without a gratifying political significance. The rev. prelate has been a consistent advocate of loyal and constitutional principles, and he has given deter mined opposition to the revolutionary schemes of the "National" party. In reply to the deputation which carried him the gift, Dr. Moriarty made direct allusion to these principles, and again condemned the teachings of those newspaper writers and orators who preached sedition. The rev. prelate's exact words ought not to be lost : It is an intense consolation to me to observe that the mass of our people aro not led astray by these spirits of error; that they make true patriotism to consist in obe dience to the law ; that they hate the revolution because it resists God's authority, and involves the shedding, of a brother's blood ; and that they are resolved to seek the im provement of their condition and the salutary reform of our institutions by those moral means which justice approves, and which religion is ever prepared to aid and to blosE. • To effect any public good there must be mutual confidence between the Government and the people. In the last Benton of Parliament our rulers made a magnificent repa ration.of past wrong. It was like a national ect of repent ance. It was an earnest of wise and beneficent legislation for the future. Let us only be peaceful, moderate, reason able. Let us strengthen the hands of a Government that is abliiNand willing to help us ; and we may expect from the greaf\council of the nation temporal blessings in pro portion asvwe expect spiritual blessings from the great council of Elio Church.' ANOTHER REDI7CTION. Retrenchment is going on upon all sides—even clerical posts are not regarded as sacred. The post of Receiver of Clerp-y Returns in the Council Office has become-111cent by the death of the R ev . - Willi am Harness. 'The Telegraph says that Lord do Grey proposes to carry out an arrangement, announced as in contem)lation some years ago, undar which the place will ~ot be filled up. The duties attached to it will be trL nsfeiTed to another department of the Council Office, ( . 300 a year being thus saved to the public. tu OUR FIGIITING sirTps. . - I Naval sc• enc 3 i_i England and America is 1• remarkable opposiion just now. The En , rlish Admi ralty, ralty, according to\fhe Times, has decided upon dis pensing with mast . kails, and rigging in the fighting , ships of the fut.rre, and relying for p ur p oses of propulsion on steam alone. The Ame rican GovernrKent has come to precisely the opposite conclusion. It has resolved to make its men-of-war full-rigged sailing vessels once more. .11ut it seems that this remarkable discrepancy is less strange than .it.woulti appear. Tho American altera tion of system is designed for cruisers, and its object is chiefl36econoniy. Coals are so exceedingly &ear that our prudent brethren wish to employ sail whenever possi'sle. t&lur dispensinr , with sail is to facilitate `the actial of first-class war-ships.

The ship is constructed for nothing but fighting, being fitted only with such means of locomo tion as would carry her to and from the scene of probable action, and suffice for the manoeuvres of an engagement. But though this change has been adopted for the great ironclads, the Times inquires whether we may not take a lesson from the American example, and save coal by using more sail for cruising vessels. Steam is not required for ordi nary voyages, and therefore need not be wasted. Mexico, where he had been everywhere well received. From San Francisco it is stated that twenty full cargoes of wheat were shipped to England during the month of October. The total exports for the same period were 593,000 sacks of wheat and 34,000 barrels of flour. The Pacific Railroad Company has commenced extending the Oakland wharf to Goat Island. The Young Ladies' Seminary at Fair Oaks, in San Mateo County, was destroyed by fire on the 7th inst. The inmates had great difficulty in escaping. Professor Hayden, United States Geologist, is engaged in examining the coal deposits of Mount Diablo. The President is said to have declared positively against removing the tariff on the bituminous coal. Senator Grimes's resignation will be presented to the Senate on the Gth of December, the first day of the session. The canvass between Judge Dent and General Alcorn in Mississippi has for the moment closed, the Judge having gone to Washington, and the General home. General Ames has assigned 45 officers of the army to duty as Inspectors of Registration in various counties. The solvency of the New York Gold Exchange Bank is proved by its paying iu full, leaving a fair capital on which to resume: It lost heavily by the panic, but it is said to have carried . many honest men th roug h th e i r difficulties. Miss Kellogg reappeared at the Italian opera in Linda di Chamounix, and her welcome has been enthusiastic. In reply to some Boston clergymen, Father Hyacinthe repeats that he is and hopes to remain a Catholic ; adding " the true Church, embracing all who hold Christ as their head, is far wider than any earthly organization." The papers express the satisfaction felt by the coun try at the honours paid to Mr. Peabody, especially his burial in Westminster Abbey. Half the tribe of Grosventres Indians in Montana have died of smallpox ; the scene there is described as horrifying, the Indians blowing their brains out with revolvers. Two of the late Express robbers have been arrested, and some of the money recovered. At Valparaiso a movement is on foot to erect a monument to Lord Cochrane . . The contest for the United States Sena torship from lowa is between Judge Wright and William B. Allison. The Legislature, which meets in January,wiil re-electinsuccession to Mr. Grimes, and at the same, for the new term beginning March 4, 1871. A compromise was desired, but' could not be effected, giving to him who received the highest number of votes the long term, and the next the short term, but it was hinted that the Governor of the State may be taken up as a compromise can didate. At Toronto Governor Howland opened the Par liament of Ontario on the 3d inst. He referred to the abundant harvest, to the progress in railways and manufactures ; the consequent demand for labour, and the successful measures taken to supply it by immigration. He desired to increase the efforts as well as the expenditure on immigration into On tario, asserting the provincial revenue to be ade quate to meet such expenditure. He advocated cautious advances from the Treasury to drain and reclaim the swamp lands of the Province. A de spatch of Lord Granville to Governor Musgrave, of Colombia, on the Confederation of British Colombia with Canada, has been communicated to Sir John Young. As New Rupert's Land and the North West Territory are to be incorporated, Bri tish Colombia, the Administration thinks, should also be added. He argues that British North America being thus united, its whole wealth cre dit, and intelligence can better be brought to bear on every part, than by leaving each to work for itself possibly at the expense of its neighbour. A line of communication between the Atlantic and the Pa cific Oceans would then become feasible. Victoria would attain to a greater commercial and political position, and although its distance from Ottowa presents a real difficulty to immediate union, in rendering communication indispensable it will hasten the construction of a railroad. Obstacles, if the present opportunity be lost, far more difficult I are sure to spring up. Governor Musgrave is authorised to communicate with Sir John Young, and to take steps to promote the favourable conside ration of the question. This was followed by the publication in the Montreal papers, on the 2d inst., of the plan FopOsed for the C.inadi in Pacific Rail road running over 2,500 miles, its capital being twenty millions sterling. By a telegram from Ot towit,dated last\Ve Ines lay, welearu that the French residents of the Red River Country had armed and orginised to resist the cession of their territory to Canada. The Governor, Mr. M'llougall, was driven across the boundary, into llacotah, where !ie awaits instructions from the Canadian Govern tnent. The insurgents demand separate territorial government, and an Elective L-gislature. 'I his shows the force of Lord Granville's despatch re commending quick action. The Pacific Railroad Company have taken timely precautions to keep the communication open during the winter. Where the snow drifts fall heaviest on the road sheds and fences have been erected, and a provision car, with two weeks' rations for pas sengers, will always be attached to the train. Gangs of men are to be stationed upon each section to work the trains through at any cost, and the directors promise that there will be no more delay than on any of the Eastern lines. We bore the arrange ments may be equally complete to protect the pas sengers from accident, but the telegram of Mon day, reporting a serious accident near San Francisco last Sunday, is not calculated to inspire confidence. It appears that on the Western Pacific, which has just been amalgamated with another California road, two trains, running along the same track, came into contact, and we presume they must have been approaching each other, as they were completely smashed, from 10 to 15 persons being killed, and from 30 to 50 wounded. The steamer America sailed from San Francisco for Hongkong via Yokohama o❑ the 4th inst. with of which $1,163,000 were s fo l ; l6 l 6, lo o n o g o k in treasure, ong,and,o47 passengers, including 1,000 Chinese. She also t oo k out 1,700 b arre l s of flour. Tom Thumb and troupe were among the passengers. This steamer is the splendi 1 new boat, which has lately reached her station via the Cape of Good Hope. What she carried is worth special notice in Europe, for one item accounts for a dimi nution of the specie import into Europe from New York. The Times is incessantly calling attention to the increasing export of bonds and the decreasing export of the precious metals, while the truth is that the treasure which used to be gathered in San Francisco and forwarded by way of Panama through New York and London now seeks its natural chan nel, and is directed by order both of New York and London merchants straight to Shanghai and llong kong, and a great convenience as well as saving of time the ability to do so must be. We may here notice that New Zealand insists upon opening a steam communication with San Francisco. For years we have urged this, and long before the break down of the Panama line we endeavoured to direct the attention of the Board to the route which would save the company. Failing this we now urge Cali fornia to put itself into communication with New Zealand, int") whose Legislature measures have been introduced for facilitating the opening of such a steam line. Thi s subject is of interest a l so to many great companies ; such, for instance, as the Pacific Railway and o f a ll the steam fleets connect i ng Eng land with New York, as well as the railroads be tween Omaha and the Atlantic seaboard. Surely America can pick up that broken link and meet the wishes of the New Zealand colonists. ------ ----- It appears that the Iteeriprocity Treaty, arranged by Mr Rose on the part of Canada, and by Mr. Fish on the part of the United States, ii ready to he submitted to Congrrss when it meets. Judge Kel- ley, as representative frGm Pennsylvania, had an in terview lately with the Pre:iiilmt to oppose the Treat y. cereals, lumber, and coal alone, be says, the Union has collected a data , of $3,000,000 since the discontinuance of the fornr2r Treaty. The Presi dent will discuss the subject in his forthcoming Message, and he is likely to support the conclusions embodied by B,2cretary Fish, in conjunction with the late Canadian Finance Minister, as Mr. Fish was delegated by the President himself to act for the United States, and Mr. Fidi was in constant communication with Mai dating the negotiation. W a are happy to learn that in all probabi lity the postage to the United States on letters under a half- ounce will on the Ist January.be reduced' to threepence. Mr. Thornton, the British Minister at Washington, has informed the Cabinet that her Majesty's Government is prepared for the reduc tion, and the intentions of the American Govern 'tient have been fully explained by Postmaster- General Creswell, who, as we lately announced, had urged this reduction on the British Administra tion. Ile advised that one penny should be the sea postage and one penny the inland postage, and the English Postmaster-General appears to ap prove of the suggestion. A telegram has been received in Glasgow from Messrs.G.H.Stuartandother gentlemen, announcing the union of the American and PresbyteriauChurches. The two Assemblies of the American Presbyterians in meeting at Philadelphia last summer decided by an immense majority to unite in case the plan was sanctioned by the Presbyteries in session this month. The union appears to have been agreed to, and the new and old now form one body. The message urged union also on all the Presbyterian Churches ef Great Britain and Ireland. The National Bap tist Sunday School Convention met at St. Louis Nov. 2. Delegates from twenty-seven States were present. The Convention was called to order by Hon. 11 7 m. Phelps, of New York, after which the business committees were appointed. In New York preparations are being made for an Evangelical Alliance Convention, embracing all Protestant Churches, and vigorous are the efforts to gather all clergymen of eminence there in the autumn of next year. Ex-President Fillmore appointed a committee to wait on President Grant and thank Min on behalf of tire Louisville Commercial Convention for his messago to it by telegraph while in session. The committee, consisting of Gen. Walbridge of New York, Blanton Duncan of Ken tucky, IL M. Corwin of Ohio, 'ex-Governor Herbert of Louisiana, Holster Clymer of Pennsylvania, Col. William Lamb of Virginia, and H. W. Hillard of Georgia, was in troduced on the 3d November, when General Walbridge delivered the following address:—" Before its adjourn ment, the late Commercial Convention at Louisville de puted to the committee that I have the honour to present the high and delicate responsibility of expressing to your Excellency sentiments of gratitude and recipro cation of hearty good will for the wish communicated in your despatch for the success of the great objects for which the Convention was convened. Originally called to discuss the exclusive interests of the Southern States, the theatre of its usefulness was subsequently en larged until it embraced the material prosperity of every section of our extended country. Delegates were in attendance from Vermont and Texas, as also from Georgia and Minnesota. Thus national in its character it was pleasant beyond expression to receive encourage ment at the bands of the National Executive. Its delibe rations were confined mainly to the great questions of finance, taxation, - immigration, internal improvements, trasportation, and necessary measures by which the in dustries and great natural resources of the South could be brought in harmony with the new era of prosperity upon which the Republic has entered. One sentiment animated the entire Convention, namely, to stand by the plighted faith of the nation in the full payment of its public secu rities as stipulated when they were created ; and, forget ting all differences in the past, the desire was universal that all sectional interests should be ignored, and that the citizens of the United States should hereafter be a homo geneous nation, one, entire, united, and indivisible. In con clusion, we desire to congratulate your Excellency oM the success which has thus far marked your administration Enough has transpired to demonstrate that before the expi ration of your second term the public debt may be more than half extinguished, and that American securities will coin mend a premium in every part of the inhabitable globe." President Grant's reply wins about the longest speech he ever made. " lie said he was very much gratified to re solve such a delegation, representing not only the great commercial interests of the nation, but also the new con dition of affairs. The good-fellowship which ought to unite a common brotherhood, and which was so happily inaugurated and invigorated at Louisville, ho hoped would extend and permeate throughout the entire Union . until every vestige of bitterness or unkindness should for ever be eradicated. lie believed that within a year or two the South would be far richer and far more prosperous than over she was before, end the people have it within their own power, by judicious policy and wise acts, to advance their own interests and those of the entire country with marvellous rapidity. As to . his second:term, he could assure General Walbridge he f, It now very much as he did at West Point in Lis cadet days, when he counted every month with eagerness to get out of his position. He had not sought his present position, as everybody knew." Mrs. Stowe, who has gone to her winter quarters in Florida, Las not been annihilated by the Quarterly Review. In its grandiloquent way that great periodical dismissed the authoress with words which ill became the reviewer, for abuse is no argument, and it was directed against all absent lady of high character, and whose mo tives were good, however ill-advised her action. But Mrs. Stowe will neither be demolished nor dismissed, for she now puLlishes a " curd," in which she requests the pullic to suspend Unit - judgment on the letters of Lady Byron to Mrs. Leigh, lately published in the London Quarterly Reeicw, until they read them in their proper historical connection in her forthcoming volume. On this subject the Springfield Republican says :—" Mrs Stowe's final de claration aul summing up on the Byron case is au elabo rate affair, prepared with care and minuteness strongly' in contrast with her original essay, and many times the length of that production. It will appear here by itself, in a volume or pamphlet, about the Ist of December, and ar rangemeets will probably be made to have it roach the public of Great Britain at about the same time." The House Committee have spent double the amount in touring, "investigations" they call it, that Con gross authorised, and the Sergeant•at-Arras has been con pellet to advance the balance. A Washington writer says that Congress only ventured on appropriating $25,000 for these investigations after "Illinois" Washburn° had been dispatched to Paris, and it is probable the Committees kept up the spree in the absence of the Treasury " AVD; eh dog" expending $50,000. It is now asserted that Generals Butler, Banks, and Garfield, with other military Congress men, were about to proceed in a steamer to St. Domingo to look alter au island which is to be a State of the Union before New Year's Day. That the island is become a Slate was one and a doubtful question, but the other was much more likely that t ho Congressmen would extend their tour to the West Indies at the Government expense. By the way, the latest news received at New York from St. Domingo was to October 25—" The revolutionists remain inactive, near the town of Azua. The rumours prevalent of the sale of St. Domingo to the United States aro gaining strength." The attack by the Indians on the mail at Apache Pass, Arizor a, was made at night, and was therefore a complete surprise. It was believed that the Indian super stition would have been an effectual safe-guard against an attack in the dark, fur they suppose, if then killed, they Will have to hunt in darkness throughout eternity. When anything unusual happens the instigation is attributed to white men, and it is officially asserted that on some occa sions the attack was led by white traitors to their race, robbery being the principal otject. Colonel Stone and the whole of the escort were killed, and then the Indians attacked and stampeded 250 head of cattle belonging to the herd of some Texas emigrants, besides killing a mau of the party. Afterwards the savages twice attacked a Government train en route for Camp Bowie. A very interesting book has lately been published by Messrs. llaapman and Hall, front the pen of Dr. Bell, who describes what he saw whoa ono of the Kansas Pacific Surveying party in exploring Arizona for a route to the Pacific. Therein is given a vivid descrip tion of what these attacks are, of which we so lightly read and so carelessly dismiss iu Europe. It is somewhat re markable that this author also asserts that the Indians _ _ .... were led by the son of a Colonel of tho United States Army in a ferocious assault on United States troops ; but that man was a half-ca,te, his mother being a Cheyenne squaw. This nice young person openly declared that ho wouldseek out and kill his father, and wear hie scalp in his belt. BUDGET OF PERSONAL.—The llon.

Two eminent engineers affirm that the cracks in the granite pillars which support the bridge over Far ringdon-street do not affect the stability of those sup ports. The Viaduct is perfectly safe for traffic. The cracks do not look well, and popular insanity is mani fested in the advanced form of picking out the granite with knives. But there is no real danger to the mag nificent structure which has cost the metropolis so much. THE BISHOP OF LINCOLN AND HIS SVI4TRAGAN. Dr. Wordsworth has applied formally to the Government for a suffragan bishop to assist him in the management of his large unwieldy diocese. According to Mr. Gladstone's intimation, this appli cation will be granted. It is the first request of the kind in our day, and is likely to become an important precedent. The Bishop has presented two names to the Prime Minister (as representing the Crown), and one of them will be selected. The candidates are Archdeacon Mackenzie and Mr. Morse, the vicar of St. Mary's, Nottingham. HIGH CHURCH REVIVALS. The High Church missions and revival services in London are well attended. For twelve days, com mencing last Sunday, preachers of known zeal and ability have been engaged to officiate in the leading churches. The system pursued by Mr. Body, of Wolverhampton, may be taken as an exemplar of the manner in which this important movement is con ducted. Mr. Body has been preaching regularly twice a day at All Saints, Cavendish-square, in the afternoon at four o'clock, and in the evening at eight. The afternoon services commence with prayer, partly extemporary. The clergyman then takes his position at the entrance to the altar, reads a portion of Scripture, and then gives an exposition. After the address a hymn is sung, while the congregation is kneeling. This is succeeded .by a prayer and benediction, and the announcement is made that the " Bible class" will commence in about five minutes, the congregation being asked to remain. Another portion of Scripture is read, followed by a second address. A similar proceeding is adopted in the evening at night o'clock. En passant, it may be noted that in Mr. Body the High Church possesses a preacher of a very superior order. The Times compares him to Whitfield, Wesley, or Father Ilyacinthe. His discourses are marked by great earnestness, eloquence, and power. THE ST. PANCRAS GUARDIANS. After virtually murdering about ton patients, the St. Pancras Guardians have come to their senses. They at last recognise that an infirmary full of smells, and containing wards that cannot be ventilated without draught, is not the best hospital for the sick that can be provided. They would not listen to the press; the Poor Law Board thundered against them in vain t one coroner's jury was laughed at and despised, the views of the second were disregarded; but the inex orable logic of facts has convinced them, if not that their Infirmary is bad, that they must not put patients there. So on Thursday they passed a resolution to the effect that the authorities of the hospitals should be asked how many patients they could accommodate, and at what charge. No patients are to be admitted to the infirmary except those whom it is absolutely necessary to remove from their own homes. PUBLICITY OF HOSPITAL ACCOUNTS. Mr. Newmarch, the President of the Statistical Society made a demand at its last meeting which is not unlikely to be granted ere long. lle laid down that periodical returns of the funds expended and the efficiency maintained should be issued from every hospital in the metropolis and other large towns. " The amount of income from corpo rate estates and investments, and from public subscriptions, legacies, and gifts accruing to hospitals in this country; is perfectly enormous ; and the only effectual check on the just and skilful expenditure of those fluids is to be found in a well-devised scheme of comparative returns appearing at frequent intervals." If the dissatisfaction of the students at St. Bartholomew's Hospital had not found vent in the way it did the public would have known nothing of the internal mis management ; and the public certainly has the clearest right to hi satisfied. that the money sot aside for sickness is properly used. No undue revelations are needed; only that those who give may know to whom they leave their money —may discover where efficiency is highest and cost least. PROHIBITION IN MASSACHUSETTS. The Daily News asks the friends of the Permissive Prohibitory Bill to take note of what is being done in Massachusetts; and relates the recent history of that State something as follows :—At the recent election, there was alongside the fight between the Republicans and Democrats for the governorship a desperate struggle between the license men and the prohibitionists for the control of the Legislature. In the last Legislature the prohibitionists had a large majority, and passed a prohibitory law, from which, however, they exempted cider, the farmer's drink par excellence. The law was not imposed in a single town—that is, in on e o f th e places in which drunkenness and its resulting crime are most rife ; so that the town population was allowed to drink its favourite liquors, and the farmers were allowed to drink theirs ; but the prohibitionists rubbed their hands over the Act with as much glee as if the Millenium were at last come. The public, however, was thoroughly disgusted, and 171$ license men have now been returned to the Legislature to 75 prohibitionists, and the prohibitory law will be re pealed this winter. We reproduce this without com ment; merely remarking that several previous accounts have been given of what has taken place in Massechussetts, and of what is going to be done ; nearly all of which have had to be qualified ) or have turned out to be unsound. A COUPLE OF YANKEE NOTIONS. A. Yankee on a 'visit to this country sends to the Telegraph a couple of suggestions as to the Post lie thinks our present Money Order system very cumbrous; regards the fee extorted as a swindle; and asks why small amounts of money may not be re mitted by means of stamps. Ilia proposal is that tnigumnied unl)erforated stamps redeemable at the post-oflice be issued for sending; but- ho seems to overlook the fact that stamps cost money, and the Government cannot be expected to pay for the con venience of even so large a body as those who send money by post. The Yankee also proposes the adop tion of the American system of certified cheques. lle thus describes that process : If I want to make a purchase in Chicago or St. Louis I go to my banker in Now York, draw a cheque, and request the cashier to "certify " it ; he stamps it with the name of the bank, and signs it across the stamp " certified." That means, the bank strikes off my account the amount of the cheque, and holds that as a spec i al d epos i t against this particular cheque ; so, when I go out West—where I am not known—l bear with inc a certificate of being worth that much money. I may use it or not—if not, return it to my banker, and the amount is replaced to my credit, EMIGRATION TO CANADA. More emigration meetings are being hold. One of those, which came off in East London a night or two ago, was specially interesting. Mr. Currie, a member of the Mansion House Emigration Committee, has been to Canada, has personally observed the condition of the emigrants who have recently gone out there, and has returned to relate his experience. He told this Poplar meeting that nearly the whole of the emigrants who had been aided by charitable societies were not merely employed, but by far the greater number of them were contented and happy. • There was still an extensive demand for labour in Canada, and those who wore prepared to bear a little hardship at first, and to take whatever work offered, could not fail in a short time to obtain a home of their own. Mr. Currie thinks the charital - 2: emigration movement may safely continue. AMERICAN AFFAIRS. (From Me Anglo-American Times.) The news by the Cintbria to Nov. 9 is that Mr. Low, the Minister to China, is to remain until Congress assembles, to have the opportunity of ac quainting himself with the views of the Committees on Foreign Affairs, the President being desirous that Congress should be consulted on business so impor tant. A klegram to Secretary Fish from Mr. Bur ingame, received within a few days, says that he 'Burlingame) ha 1 jitst received official continua ion from (he Chines,. Government of “11 that he has done in treating wi.l► the United States and the other Governments. General Palmer has been ap pointed Appraiser at the port of New York, and there is a rumour that Collector Grinnell will soon resign. Senator Morton reached 'Washington Nov. 7, suffering from a fall at Pittsburg, both his hands being bru:sed, and his left thumb fractured. There was a disturbance in a COloured Church, at Washington, wherein two officers who attempted to arrest the rioters were fearfully beaten. Secretary Boutwell thinks it necessary to warn the public against putting faith in sensational stories about the Government finances.
