SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Times thinks that the murder of Mr. Hunter, a Scotch settler, in county Mayo, is from every point of view a national misfortune. It can scarcely be doubted that the crime was of agrarian origin. We are thus forced to accept the conclusion that the narrow limits we had hitherto hoped marked out the districts of savage law lessness must be enlarged. Mayo must be added to Tip perary and Westmeath as counties stained with the same kind of atrocity. The softer Celt of the West is for the first time in living memory a participator in the guilt of the Southern Midlands. The death of Mr. Hunter seems thus to be an illustration of the worst spirit of agrarianism in Ireland, breaking out in a district hitherto unaffected by it. But the crime is most deplorable when viewed in relation to its consequences on the Irish land question. It must aid in exciting the bitterest hcstility to any change in the law in ;my degree in favour of the perpetrators of such outrages. It must in some measure paralyse the efforts of others who are struggling against difficulties already almost insuperable, to promote a reform of the land laws of Ireland. To what end, it will be said, shall the law he altered when lawlessness is the prominent chatac teristie of those you would benefit? Severity must, heleed, be a first necessity of the action of the Irish Executive for some time to come. The law smut fulfil its proper function of being a terror to evildoers. Yet these horrible crimes following one another in quick succession, connected in all instances with one class of social relations, must drive us to inquire all the more searchingly what is the evil in these- relations which occasion such terrible results. One thing has been already made apparent, that the practice of tenant right, as it exists universally in Ulster, is to be found, in numerous scattered instances, more or less developed in the South and Midland counties of Ireland as well as in the North ; and being unrecognised by the law, produces everywhere the same antagonism of interests, the same temper of dread and suspicion, between landlords and tenants. It is impossible to conceive any thing worse than the prevalence of a practice of the kind in question, when unrecognised by the law. The want of a legal definition of interests is the main reason of the disorganisation of the tenure of land in Ireland, and the cry for fixity of tenure itself owes its strength to the fact that such rights as ought to be recognised according to all principles of morality are ignored by the law. Lord Spencer, says the Post, has justbeen through what is esteemed one of the poorest districts of Ireland, and he has taken the opportunity of saying that the country whose condition causes so much anxiety is making steady and by no means slow progress. Nothing can be more satisfactory ; and we are just about to congratulate our selves upon the statements, when we learn that a farmer of the name of Hunter, residing in a very civilised part of Mayo, was driving home in the evening with his wife, son, .and servant, and was shot dead on the public road. What is to be done with people by whom no law, human or Divine, is respected ? As opinion develops itself in Ireland it becomes tolerably evident, firstly, that the disestablishment of the Protestant Church was not the question that held the chief place really in the minds of the population ; and, secondly, that the English public have entirely misapprehended the views entertained by the Irish middle and lower classes upon the land question. The extinction of the political position of the Church and its elimination from the territorial class have been urged merely as offering a stepping-stone from which to stride to a larger object, that larger object being an absolute reorganisation of the existing social system. English politicians have partly persuaded themselves and partly suffered themselves to be induced to think that Englishmen and Irishmen are as one in the object at which they aim. We have been mis taken. The English public and the Irish population have not the same end in view ; not at all. They are, it turns out, after very different objects. The English are think ing of alterations in conditions of tenancy ; the Irish are bent upon a revolution in the conditions of ownership. The Daily News remarks that nothing could be in better taste and feeling than Mr. Charles Dickens's humorous and hearty speech at the London Rowing Club dinner on Monday. His exceptionally wide and intimate know ledge of his fellow-countrymen enabled him to express with singular force the admiration and esteem which the Harvard University crew have earned in England, not only by their splendid struggle on Friday last, but by their chivalrous modesty and simplicity of conduct and demeanour ever since they reached our shores. We all hope that a return match may be pulled on American waters, and we are all confident that Oxford will meet as brotherly a welcome there as Harvard Las found here. We all rejoice to know that our kinsmen have good reason to be perfectly satisfied with the arrange ments of Friday last, and devoutly trust that for all time to come there may be no other or less generous and kindly rivalry than this between the " pride and flower" of the youth of the old and of the New England. Nor can we forbear to remember that Harvard Univer city is of English birth, and that the Cambridge beyond the Atlantic has upheld the honour of its ancestral name in patriotism, in statesmanship, in intellect, and last, not least, in the dignity of its defeat on an English river by a sister University. Even the errors to which some rowing authorities are disposed to attribute that defeat—impetu osity and impatience opposed to the calmness and confi dence of " staying " power—are but a generous excess of the good qualities of the old stock—the temperament of a people's youth. What may not the alliance of two such rivals do for the better future of the world? Esto perpetua I The Herald believes that there are not twenty members of Parliament who do not regard the systematic despotism exercised by the Unions over non-members and reluctant members with utter abhorrence, and desire by all possible means to prevent and punish it. It is, therefore, only necessary to point out that the present law is inadequate to restrain the Unions from outrages, intimidations, and vexations which render the life of an independent ope rative a burden to him, in order to convince them of the necessity of strengthening that law. It is sufficient to point out that the common law is utterly inefficient for the repression of organised persecution by a secret society, and that to leave the sufferer to his remedy against individual offenders is to abandon him to the mercy of the law breakers. No one who has realised the facts of the case can doubt that this is so ; no one who recognises that it is so, if he be an honest and conscientious man, can dream of of acceding to the demands of the unions, and leaving them at liberty to worry and harrass all recusants as they please, subject to the very improbable contingency that some particular agent may commit a single act of atrocious violence, and that the victim may have courage and ability to prosecute him. To accede to any such pro posal is simply to deprive the non-unionists of all legal protection, and to render Mr. Potter and his colleagues the tyrants of every factory and workshop in the kingdom. The Star refers to the conference held last week at Sheffield between Mr. Redgrave, the Inspector of Factories, and the men engaged in the various grihding trades. We can hardly conceive of circumstances calculated to make out a stronger case for the necessity of some such com pulsory interference as is established by the Factory Acts Extension Act, than those brought to light on the occa sion of this visit of Mr. Itedgrave to Sheffield. It must have bcen well known to every working man present a the meeting that the provision as to fans at grinding wheels had been especially introduced into the Act for their • protection, nor can they fail to have been conscious that if the responsibility of fitting them up were thrown upon the owner, they themselves would have to pay for it in the shape of an additional rent. Mr. Redgrave did bis best to im press his hearers with the great value of immediate action in this matter. Ile pointed out to them that in the dry grinding, glazing, and polishing trades it had been ascer tained as a positive fact that the life of those engaged in them was only about half the length it ought to be. "On the gateway," ha said, " of every fork-grinder's wheel where there was no fan there ought to be written what Dante said was written over the gate leading to the infernal regions—' All hope abandon ye who enter here,' for sooner or later fork-grinding will kill you." If such forcible appeals as these fail to convince the grinders of Sheffield of their danger and of what their true interests demand, our readers, we think, will concur with us in the opinion that the Inspector of Factories is no longer justi fied iu delaying to enforce the law. The Act itself says that a fan must be provided for the protection of the workpeople within a reasonable time. and, taking all the circumstances into account, there will not be many un prepared to say now that that time has long since passed away. The Standard declares that partridge shooting may be without those elements of subli m ity w hi c h are to a certain extent inherent in grouse shooting. The pursuit of the bird of the plain may be devoid o f th ese romantic attrac tions which areimplied in the pursuit of the bird of the heather-clad hills.

Still we know of few things pleasanter in their way, few occupations which inspire you with a more agree able consciousness of the fact of existence than the stroll on a fine September morning after the birds As w' have hinted above, partridge shooting is an eminently popular sport. It is its catholicity which con itutes its great charm, and in senile measure its economy. The neeit onpteiefeligg farm:, may enjoy some taste of it a; well as the Protu b ' i:erritcrial magnate.

No lack of complaints there is indeed that partridge shooting is not what it was, and that if things go on at their present rate it will become a rarity. The grievance is exaggerated, and the anxiety is probably in a great measure groundless. Perhaps the best wish which we could express for the interests of partridge shooting gene rally, is that the commencement of the season should be universally deferred for a fortnight or three weeks, and that the practice which obtains in Ireland of changing the date from the first to the twentiethshould be observed in England also.

Mr. Casserly, United States Senator from Cali fornia, arrived here on Sunday. Ile is thoroughly opposed to the immigration of Chinese—the question now of most interest. Sing-Man and Choy-Chew, which, being interpreted into our language, means the Magnificent Dragon and Agreeable Associa tions, have been banqueted and cheered in Chicago. The Chinamen's speeches have been sensible, mode rate, and well delivered. Choy-Chew said he had been eleven years in this country, having arrived ignorant of the language, unknown to any, a stranger to the customs and laws, regarded by some as an inl ruder, one of that race whose presence is deemed injurious. But he found both kindness and justice, a deep, broad stream of popular equality flowing beneath the injustice. "I gathered knowledge," continued the Chinaman, " in your public schools ; I learned to speak as you do; to read and write as you de ; to act and think as you do; and, gentlemen, I ri joice that it is so ; that I have been able to cross the vast continent without the aid of an interpreter. That here, in the heart of the United States, I can speak to you in your own familiar speech, and tell you how much —how very much- I appreciate your hospitality, how grateful I feel for the privileges and advantages I have enjoyed in your glorious country, and how earnestly 1 hope that your example of enterprise, energy, vitality, and national generosity may be seen and understood, as I see and understand it, by our Government. Mr. Burlingame has done much to promote good feeling in China towards the American nation. He made him self well acquainted with the authorities at Pekin. Ho won their confidence to a very remarkable de degree. He is also an excellent man, and I believe, if his advice is received and acted upon, China will soon be the cordial friend of all the commercial powers of the earth. Already we are doing something in the way of progress in modern improvements. Steamboat lines have been established on our rivers, and the telegraph will soon connect us with the wonderful sovereignty of the Western Hemisphere, where the people rule ; where everything proclaims peace and good-will to all. China must brush away the dust of her antiquity, and, looking across the Pacific, behold and profit by the new lessons of the Now World. We trust our visit, gentlemen, may be productive of good results to all of us ; that the two great countries, East and West, China, and America, may be found forever together in friendship; and that a Chinaman in America, or an American in China, may find like protection and like consideration in their search for happiness and wealth." From Chicago, Choy-Chew, Sing-Man, and party came on to this city, and took up their abode at the Metropolitan Hotel. 'They have, on the whole, been well received, but what is to be the end I can not conjecture; while it is undoubtedly true that the subject of immigration is attracting much atten tion. Senator Casserly made another speech, which attracted attention before he lsf t San Francisco. He maintains that by the Fifteenth Amendment, when ratified, the right of franchise will be accorded to such Chinese as choose to acquire it by becoming naturalised ; this right he contends being the bed rock on which Government is founded, the power and the right to regulate it are co-ordinate. " Cali fornia, he adds, " might have claims to be free, but with this amendment it would be mockery to call her free." There will yet be a struggle on this sub ject. President Grant passed through this city on Monday from Garrison's on his way to Washington for the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday. He had an interview with JUdge Pierrepont, and he stayed a few hours with his brother-in-law, Mr. Corbin. He came back on Wednesday evening to Sixteenth street, near Stuveysant-avenue, the residence of Secretary Fish, and will soon proceed on a trip over the Erie Railway. He will remain for a few days in Pennsylvania, and then go on to Saratoga, to the unspeakable disgust of the pursuing office seekers who complain that he is always on the move, and invariably stays at the most expensive hotels. Senator Sprague also passed through this city, and Governor Scott, of South Carolina, is at the Metropolitan Hotel. Senor Roberts, the Spanish Minister, times his movements by those of the Pre sident, as he also is after Grant. Senor Romero, the Finance Minister of Mexico, has informed the banker henry Clews that the situation there is rapidly improving, and that the happy conjunction of circumstances ought nut to be lost by our capi talists. It is a singular fact that men in a bad way always go through very favourable conjunctions of circumstances, and as the bank on which they draw is only their imagination, they are enabled to hold up to the greedy eye such visions of untold wealth as to allure even the cold-blooded into their meshes. I do not know that any change has really been effected in Mexico, or is likely to be; all are aware that the country is a mine of wealth, long likely to remain unworked owing to the inhabitants, and although Romero may assert that capital only is wanted, those who best know the Mexicans maintain that there is a something in themselves wanting, still more indispensable. General Ryan seems unable to exist without a sensation, which he has got up even in that dull place the Clifton House, Niagara Falls. Day, formerly bis private secretary, arrived on the 6th inst. with despatches from the Cuban Junta, directing him to return to New York ; but Ryan suspecting a forgery, accused Day of treachery, when it transpired that the papers were not genuine. Ryan thereon beat him with a horse- whip, while Day, on his knees, roared for the mercy Ryan would not show, until the visitors, being at tracted by the row, rushed in and took the whip from the enraged general. The proceedings of our revo lutionary organizations are so often thus highly spiced, that they lose every shadow of interest un less kept up by beating, shooting, slangwhanging, and bolting with the " dibs." The tailors had a great procession, and marched round to all the shops. It was 440 yards long, and numbered at least 2,000 men, carrying aloft such striking inscriptions as—" We strike for our Rights," "No Slavery lin a Free Country." There are many Germans among them, and in the speeches that language was as often used as English. The president of the Working-man's Union, Mr. Young, addressed them, and there is some significance in what he said— " The workingmen of a whole country were now marshalled for the fight, and prepared to march in solid column for the attainment of their rights." 'There is no little truth in this, the battle between ca pital and labour having become general, as the working men feel that the rise in wages is not in proportion to that in the necessaries of life. Mr. Cashman (a better name, by the way, for an employer than for a workman) alluded to theLabour Congress about to assemble in Philadelphia, from which he anticipates great things. Messrs. Bowers, Beckman, and Co., 61, Leonard-street, have stopped, with liabilities in excess of two and a half millions of dollars. The house is highly thought of, and the announcement it makes is believed, that its assets are in excess of its liabilities, and that it will only require time to work through its difficulties, but meanwhile the shock to others and to trade is considerable. Mr. Bowers, in the panic of 1857, suspended, and afterwards paid in full, and a large Boston manufacturing house would, it is alleged, have advanced sufficient to carry on the business for a twelvemonth if the firm would have accepted the offer. Last Saturday Archbishop INlSCloskey and the Rev. Father M'Nierney left in the Ville de Paris for Europe, accompanied down the Bay, as far as Staten Island, by numbers of friends, and it is said that the Archbishop has a heavy purse gathered by Catholic friends in New York. Among the passengers by the City of Washington, for Liverpool, last Saturday, were the alleged forgers Harwood and Hatcher, who desired this course to be taken instead of awaiting the arrival of the officer. The first two bales of cotton of the season, from Washington county, Texas, arrived in New York, Aug. 9, and one of them sold for 50 cents a pound, being of excellent quality. The other was shipped to Liverpool, where it is be lieved it will get the premium for the first arrival. From Sept. 1 of last year up to Saturday, the re ceipts at all the shipping ports were 2,333,054 bales, being ne irly 100,000 bales less thal re ceive d during the same period of the peasts‘norrs year. The stock at the ports is very low, and the arrivals are now small, showing that nearly all held in the interior must have been forwarded, and that no great quantity can remain. The stories told of General Grant will soon equal in'bulk those told of Napoleon I. One of the latest going the rounds is the reception he met with on his former visit to Judge Pierrepont. The clerk, who received him in the absence of the Judge, did not know the President, THE SUN, _LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 1, LE69. and replied with flippant impertinence to his ques tions; but the " young mon" was by no means so flippant when he discovered to his consternation to whom his cavalier manner had been addressed. We have heard with much satisfaction of the quick passige of the Sappho, which is claimed here to be the best voyage a sailing vessel ever made, with one exception. She has beaten the Dauntless, accord ing to the telegraph, by 71 hours ; but Oakey Hall remains silent, no guns boom the intelligence to the gratified citizens. Perhaps Oakey reserves his powder to give effect to the victory of our Har vard boys, no true American doubting the result ; for how could a fat John Bull have a chance against our wiry men ? or, it may be, that Douglas, though ho does run a Sappho with uncommon speed, does not run an influential newspaper. But,from whatever cause, Oakey's silence calls forth much remark. With reference to the Wall-street brokers, Judge Cardozn, of the Supreme Court, thus dealt with them, giving his reas - ms at the time that he awarded the sentence to each :—Edward R. Jones was fined $250 ; George Phipps, $250 ; Emmanuel Knight, $500; Russel Sage. $250, and five days in the City Pri,on ; Reuben W. Ilowes, $5OO ; Charles A. Macey, $3OO ; George Watts, $250. and ten days in the City Prison. Mr. Watts caught it for his arrogance. Ile had the impudence to dare the officer to take him at his peril, who, on the warrant, did take him ; but the peril proved to be the broker's and not the officer's, for he got five days extra to reflect in the Egyptian tombs on the bad advice given him by his friends. Those merely fined wrote off cheques, and left to renew their operations in Wall-street, for no farce could be greater than to suppose that they will take less than they can get for their money, and the general sense of the community con demns the whole proceeding as a queer pest. Workmen are removing the iron rails around the Park fountain, which is the site (that is, if the city authorities cm ever agree) for the new Post-office ; but the rails will enclose the magnificent fountain about to be constructed in Madison-square. The Government bought this spot whereon to erect the Post-office, paying for it half a million of dollars, which the city authorities pocketed, and immedi ately raised objections, proposing a new locality. A. T. Stewart, llorace Greeley, and William Orton were appointed by the Government to negotiate an exchange which would suit both the Government and the city. That exchange was suggested by the present mayor, who could not find time to attend to the com mittee and complete the business. The Government architect, growing weary of waiting, begun bis work, but no sooner did he begin than the Common Council commenced a violent agitation against the proceeding, and a grand conference was had yes terday on the subject. On Tuesday night a daring robbery was effected in a car of the New York Central between Fonda and Albany. After the train left Fonda three men entered the frontway baggage car, where the messenger of the American Express Company and another mm were with the safes containing money for the Pacific. The mes senger got up when he saw them, but they struck him on the head, threw cayenne pepper into his eyes, pinioned and gagged him, as' they did the other man who was with him. Then they got the keys, and after some difficulty opened the way safe, and took out the contents. There was another safe for Chicago for which there were no keys, and this they tried in vain to open, one proposing for spite at their failure to throw the gagged messenger on to the track. The baggage car was coolly run by them turning out the baggage at the stations, answering the conductor's " All right there, Charlie ?" with " All right," and they decamped at West Albany just before the train reached the city. On an employe of the railway entering the car he saw the two men lying helpless on the floor, and ran for a policeman, by whom the messenger and the other were released, both in a fearful state, having undergone such suf fering as to bring them to the point of death. A club and a set of false whiskers were all the robbers left. Chang and Eng, the Siamese twins, have arrived with their daughters, and left for Baltimore on Wednesday. They will perhaps make a tour through the country before settling down. Mar shal Barlow has received a despatch from the Secretary of State relieving him from the respon sibility of keepicg the Spanish gunboats in custody, and transferring that responsibility to the Com mander of the Brooklyn Navy-yard. Major Ander son has got the President's permission for Colonel Ryan's return. The President's only objection was Culouel Ryan's personal assault on the Marshal's deputy ; but Major Anderson found no difficulty in soothing him, as Mr. Barlow rather liked Colonel Ryan, so a telegraph was sent to tell Ryan he might return from Canada. WASHINGTON, August 13. The President arrived on Tuesday morning at the house of his brother-in-law, Judge Lewis Dent. He spent most of the day, however, at the White house, the Cabinet business alone lasting from noon till well on in the evening ; Secretaries Bout well and Hoar absent. Routine business took up most of the time, but the relations between Spain and Cuba were considered, and, as nothing had been heard from our Minister to Spain, strict adherence to neutrality (continuing the policy already augu rated) was decided on, though the President is sup posed to have sail that they would keep the gun boats they had seized. The instructions to Admiral Poor, who will immediately proceed to relieve Hoff in the command of the North Atlantic squadron, were read and approved. The Government shows sympathy in his appointment with the Cubans, as the Admiral is strongly imbued with the general American feeling in their favour, which Admiral Hoff does not appear to have been. So much was this the case that the report was here circulated that the Administration disapproved of his course, particularly as regards the shooting, without trial, of American citizens, which occurred at Cuba, and for which he failed to secure reparation. The im pression now is that General Grant holds this view. But the President really does hold (or our intelli- • gence is all wrong) with the Radical party in the South. There was a long discussion the other day about Mississippi at the house of the Secretary of State on the Hudson. General Grant there freely expressed his opinions, which were seated to be marked and decided, favouring Wells and Stokes, and opposing his brother-in-law, Dent. As a mat ter of private feeling the return of ex-President Johnson to the United States Senate is of much more interest to Grant, and careful reviews of the position have been taken. Three candidates will run—Andrew Johnson, Bailie Peyton, and perhaps Stokes, the lately defeated candidate for Governor, and it is hoped by those who hate Mr. Johns , n that the balance of power will remain with Peyton. Some office-holders in Mississippi it is now certain will be removed for being so active in organizing the Conservative movement ; the Dent men will in this way receive no small check ; but whether it would be wise for the Administration to take the active part they deny the subordinates, I leave you to judge. Rear-Admiral Dahlgren took over the Washington Navy-yard on Tuesday from Ad. dral Poor. Ile was received with a salute, all the officials waiting on him during the day. Com modore Augustus L. Case has been ordered to per form the duties of the Bureau of Navigation during the absence of Commodore James Alden, and Com modore M. Smith will perform the duties of the Secretary of the Navy during the absence of Secre tary Robeson, who left on Tuesday afternoon with Commodore Alden and other officials. 'They pro. coed in the Ta/lapooga on a round tour of inspection of the various navy-yards, and they may be away a month. - '-` Gen. Sherman leaves to-day for Phila. dLlphia, where be will join the Tallapoosa party. Senor Mariscal, Minister from Mexico, was received by the President on Wednesday. Senor Palacio * [This is what has puzzled us; the fact that Admiral Poor had been relieved in his post of the Washington Navy-yard, commissioned to the command of the North Atlantic squadron, vice Hoff, his written instructions being communicated to him after receiving the sanction of a Cabinet meeting while Admiral Porter is away with the Secretary of the Navy on a tour of inspection ; yet no sooner have they departed for weeks, the Cabinet broken up not to re-assemble for some time, and the President touring about the country, than we learn by cable that this highly important arrangement is upset, and Admiral Porter appointed to the command in Cuban waters. If a gross blunder has not been made by the telegraph—thrice repeated—so.ne tuaacc)untable change has occurred.— ED. 4. A. 7.] arrived here on Monday to settle the Mexican claims, with Judge Wadsworth on behalf of the United States. Mr. Ashton is our agent, and Mr. Cushing agent for Mexico. By the terms of the Con vention, Mr. Palacio should have reached this earlier, six months having expired, but Mr. Cushing entered a pledge that he would shortly arrive, and that Mexico would waive objections or local defects. The word damages is used in the Spanish copy of the treaty, while the word in the English copy is injuries, and it is believed that this will be made a bone of contention. Mr. Palacio knows but little English, and the commission is delayed by having to translate into Spanish. The naval court-martial on Surgeon Green, of the Leipsic, is closed, but the Secretary of the Navy has not yet received the proceedings. C. M. Felix Petard has been ap pointed Consul to Strasburg, General Lefevre, late Consul to Nuremberg, arrived here on Tuesday. A despatch from Baron Gerolt, Minister from the North German Confederation, states that he will return to 'Washington to resume his official duties by the beginning of September. A sou of the Rev. Mr. HaHeck, who was burnt to death in the Erie smoking car, at the Mast Hope accident, has been appointed a messenger in the Treasury department. There has been much destitution among the freed men in Washington. Mrs. Grilling, President of the National Freedmen's Relief Association, ac counts for it by want of employment, but though earnestly anxious to obtain it, one-third of the labouring men are out of work. She has appealed for aid to support the aged and infirm of both races, for when work is so scarce all must suffer. The receipts from Internal Revenue have averaged $600,000 per day ; on the 9th they were within a fraction, and on the whole they are much in excess of what they were last year. All the new fractional currency has been issued, except $15,000 in Ten cent. Notes. Base-ball Clubs, according to a late decision, must take out licenses, and pay 2i per cent. on their gross receipts ; the treasurers making monthly returns of income tax. Among the re movals is that of Turner, the negro Postmaster at Macon, Georgia, who was replaced by Washington, the oil incumbent. At his interview the Mexican Envoy, Mariscal, spoke warmly of the noble sym pathy shown towards Mexico by the United States when strugglingagainst onc of the strongest of Euro pean Powers, morally supported by all the rest. Mexicans were destined by their proximity and the similarity of their political institutions to be per petually good friends. The United States had aided them to maintain their most cherished bless ings—Republican institutions. Thus spoke the Mexican Envoy, as if fresh from the gates of Para dise, and he might have gathered from the twinkle in the President's eye how earnestly he wished such blessings had been bestowed on a better lot. In reply, he said, the Government shares the views of the Mexican statesmen, who deem a Republic the form of government best suited to develope the resources of that country, and to make its people happy. "I am prepared to share in your efforts to continue and increase the cordial, social, industrial, and political relations subsisting between these two Republics." There cannot be a doubt that Ignacio Mariscal has been well chosen for this post by Juarez, for he is familiar with this country, having formerly resided here in a diplomatic capacity, when he married a Washington girl. He is a great ad mirer of our institutions, and is well known and much liked in this city. General Canby had an interview with the President before he left on Wed nesday, having come from Richmond for the ex press purpose. Messrs. N. Gika and Rev. Father Christopher, of Athens, Greece ; lion. W. P. Edwards, of Georgia; and Hon. Jos. J. Stewart, of Baltimore, also obtained interviews. TO THE EDITOR OF THE ANGLO-AMERICAN TIMES. Boulogne-sur-mer, Aug. 18. Srn,—The traveller or visitor tarrying here will have his enjoyment enhanced by referring to some one of the several histories of this ancient place. St. Patrick arrived in Boulogne in A.D. 429, and resided hereabouts during three years. All Irish Americans should therefore halt a bit. Does it not seem an anomaly that Ireland should have chosen a Scotchman for its patron saint? St. Patrick was born, as we are told, near the mouth of the Clyde in 372, was carried captiv,'! to Ireland, escaped, was carried there a second time, became a mi•sionary to the people, was ordained, and afterwards consecrated bishop ; converted the country and banished all the snakes, and I dare say he did the same thing here, for in all my rambles over the hills and valleys 1. have never seen other than two-legged ones, and, strange to say, one of those was a Paddy, the other a Welsh man. In olden times this place becoming the capital of Morinia, foreigners came and settled here, and intermarried with the natives as they do now. Agrippa and Tiberius visited the spot, as well as Caligula, who desiring to go to England was stopped for the want of money. There's a lot of Britons here now in the same awkward predica ment, and who, like Caligula, play and lose their money; but, unlike the great warrior, who ordered his army to parade on the shore, filling their hel mets with shells in order to take them to Rome as trophies of his imaginary triumph,the modern Britons assemble on the beach, have a dip in the briny, afterwards gather shells, put them in their empty pockets, in order to have some to jingle. Claudius was also a resident here, and built a military road to Marseilles from Boulogne ; and some years later the great Jewish money kings, the Rothschilds, came over, and built and now govern the Great Northern of France Railway. Civilis, Fabius, and Adrian also were here ; the latter was probably a mason, as we read h went over to Britain and built the celebrated wall between the towns of Car lisle and Newcastle, 88 miles long. Avitus, Bishop of Tangres, took refuge here in A.D. 170 ; and in 1812 Rev.

The modern Frenchman is a good farmer notwith standing, everything is utilized, and the fields like " Nature with its head combed," as a Yankee from near Boston remarked to me the first time he saw a new-mown English lawn.

The celebrated Fisk (junior) has been making more history, to give to which a substantial body of interest, he carried affairs into a genuine railway war. Having evinced such an admirable capacity, in conjunction with other Erie directors, for forward ing the interests to guard which the stockholders have been cajoled and entrapped into trusting him and them, he has ever shown an earnest desire to extend these benefits to many lines. An item in his great railway amalgamation scheme is the Albany and Susquehanna road, and Fisk, asserting that he best knew what was for the interests of its shareholders, decided to take it whether they liked it or not. So far, however, he humoured the prejudices of the proprietors as to write an explanation of what those benefits were. But FLic, being essentially a man of action, placed more dependence on a train well filled with rowdies than on his own or any other person's arguments. lie is, too, like a porcupine, armed at all points, for while doing what is gene rally supposed to be most illegal acts, he has war rant for ell lie does, under the seal and signature of a judge, for he is a potentate, having a paraphernalia of justice in pay as well as an army and fleet. Through the Erie operations, it is said, that eight directors of the Albany and Susquehanna Railroad, repre senting 11,200 shares, were brought over to the Erie side, and only six, representing 9,430, were against it ; but other boards can take a leaf out of the Erie's book, so Mr. Ramsay, the president of the Albany and Susquehanna, and Mr. Phelps, its trea surer, declined to transfer the stock purchased by Fisk, for nearly $1,000,000, on the company's books, by which unjustifiable act they baulked the Erie operations. On August 7 the transfer books closed, and in September the officers of the road are to be elected. Asserting the authority of the proprietors, that is by virtue of the shares just purchased, and armed, besides revolvers, with a warrant from Judge Bernard, Fisk levied an army to seize the line, while conducting against its officials three law suits. To understand that gentleman's operations it should be remembered that Albany, the capital of the State of New York, is a railway centre, com municating with all parts of New England. Through Albany every New Englander must go who desires by the most direct route, to proceed West. The rail road to Binghamton connects Albany with the Erie by a road runn i ng west b y south from the State capi tal, and there a new net-work of rails branches off. The value of the line then consists in its forming a junction between two important centres of com munication, which to the Erie is of peculiar im portarce, connecting that road with the Boston and Albany Railway, which,attained, would give to New England a route westward the New York Central alone could, with any chance, contend against. Origi nally it was a local enterprise, constructed to improve the country through which itpassed, and wasliberally subsidized, not only by the State Government, but by the towns along the line. As Fisk, in his letter, says, the Erie cares little for it in itself, but he cares much for it as a link opening up more valuable traffic. He wants it to put Boston in direct com munication with the West by a through line con trolled by his board. This, however, was not the object for which the line was projected, and the inhabitants along its track are aware that if passed over to the Erie, their interests will cease to weigh, and though they may have the pleasure of seeing well-freighted cars rushing to and fro, little would be done to accommodate their own traffic. For this reason their feeling favours the strenuous resistance offered by Mr. Van Valkenburg, the superintendent of the road, under the direction of Mr. Ramsay, its president. It requires a man to be a general, a lawyer, and a diplomat at one and the same time to resist Fisk ; but the superintendetaf; undertook to oppose warrant to warrant, scheme to scheme, man to man, aye, locomotive to locomotive, and hold his ground, which he has hitherto done. The Erie commenced operations by buying up stock, and nearly a million of dollars was invested in the Albany and Susquehanna shares, raising them in value from something very low to something very high. Having made his purchases and been baulked by the president and treasurer, Fisk proceeded under the warrant of Judge Barnard to take pos session of the line. The Erie strength lay at Bing hampton, one end of the road, and with Judge Barnard's writ of assistance Sheriff Brown seized all the rolling stock and property he could find, handing it over to Mr. Pratt, whom Fisk n.smed superintendent of the Albany and Susquehanna. One out of four engines escaped, but the office there was captured, and Van Tyle placed in charge. These proceedings on becoming known in Albany through the telegraph then cut by the Erie roused Van Valkenburg into action. He cleared the head office of all but its friends, turning the rest out by main force ; then he stopped every train in motion, and with about 150 men pushed on to Bain bridge, at which town he approached the enemy's country, it being but a short distance from Bing hamton, where, arriving late in the evening, the train was switched on to a side track. Meanwhile the Erie raiders kept cautiously advancing up the line, dispossessing the Susquehanna officials and re placing than with Erie men ; but hearing that Van Valkenburg was in force at Bainbridge they re treated. On being reinforced theyagain came up with care; nevertheless the engine was thrown from the track by means of a new patent frog placed there by the enemy, by whom they were captured_ locomo tive, raiders, Sheriff Brown, and all. When morning dawned the Susquehanna men resumed their advance on Binghamton, and the enemy retreated from the stations they had taken till the train reached the tunnel, which the Erie army held in force. Being too weak to proceed, the Susquehanna men, by way of keeping what they had got, tore up the track, and the train remained in readiness awaiting events, while the Erie men on the other side of the tunnel encamped in a wood on a curve below the stream. Thus passed the night of the 9th of August and the morning of the 10th, but events rapidly progressed, for " Admiral" Fisk (he is admiral of his own steamboats) or " General" Fisk (he is general of the armed Erie raiders) rapidly forwarded reinforce ments in special trains, with ample supplies of pro visions, and quickly swelled his force to 700 or 800 men. To oppose them 1,000 anti-renters from Albany and Schenectady were enrolled, and the contending armies remained in position at the tun nel, a small bridge between Alton and Bainbridge being destroyed. The Erie guards, the elite of the raiders, consisted of 150 men,well armed with revol-• vers. The 44th Militia Regiment, under Col. Robie, then appeared on the scene, but they arrived only in time to witness a sharp, action for advancing to the sound of musketry they found the battle raging in the tunnel. The Erie army attacked the enemy, but, unfortunately for it, the assault had been too long delayed. Up to seven p.m., only 45 Susquehanna men held the post, but at the opportune moment 400 arrived, so when the train, consisting of two cars, with 250 raiders, entered the tunnel to carry the position, the enemy were in overwhelming strength. The tunnel was passed, and a rail which had been taken up was replaced, and the train went on, but in turning a curve the cars crammed with the enemy's men were seen approaching with speed. The Erie, taken aback, whistled " Down brakes," but this only added to the ardour of the Susque hanna boys, who, with a full head of steam, rushed on their foe. Seeing this the Erie increased its speed, and the shock of the trains was felt most injuriously by the locomotives, the Susquehanna being thrown from the track with the loss of its prow. No sooner were the cars brought to a stand than the anti-renters sprang to the ground at:d rushed at Fisk's men, who fled over the hill and through the tunnel ; but, supports coming up, the battle was maintained with fury until eight o'clock. The Erie men, whose hard task it ha I b,:en to hold their position till the arrival of the 44th, on which :he Susqueliannas retired through the tunnel, did not molest the retreat. Two of the Erie men received pistol shots, and others were badly wounded with clubs and stones ; but they took one prisoner, whom they would have lynched on the spot had he not recognized a friend in their ranks. In the mean time Fisk continued actively to recruit in New York, and " roughs" was . the prevailing feature at Binghamton, while .the p,bsense of mapy familial face threw a gloom over Five Points. The anti renters were reinforced up to 1,400 men, and the su perintendent of the road, entrenched in his stronghold at Albany, determined at all hazards to maintain his place. Fisk, amid an army of clerks, lawyers, messengers, and secretaries, turned the Delavan House into his head-quarters, unremittingly serving papers of ejectment on his foes. On the day the " Battle of the Tunnel" raged he approached the office of the railroad, with the sheriff, on this business, on which two men, one a leading railroad official, and the other a telegraph operator, were about to fire at him from the balcony, when they were pre vented by the personal interference of Mr. Eddy, and the hero of the great railway wars was spared a little longer to carry on his battle of life. But such proceedings were calculated in a small way to at tract the Governor's attention, who, believing that unless he took active measures, that these railway men would soon be marshalling armies and manoeuv ring against each other in the open field, turning the Empire State into the theatre of a civil strife, wrote a peremptory order to cease at once, leaving both sides in possession of what they held till the de;:ision of the regular courts was obtained, declar ing that further proceedings of this nature would induce him to proclaim the district in a state of in surrection, call out the military, and take possession oft be road. Writs were issued, on which Ramsay,Van Valkenburg, and Pruyn were arrested, but bailed, and Fisk, learning that a warrant was out to arrest him, hastily decamped in a steamer to New York. Go vernor Hoffman appointed James M.Quade super intendent of the road, directing him to take imme diate measures to reopen the traffic, and to use his discretion in the employment of assistants. Thus Mr. Fisk managed his last railway affair, and how it will end time only can show. The latest accounts are that Fisk is invisible, the Erie offices in New York closed,;the . flight across to Jersey City having again been taken. Counsel applied for and ob tained new writs in Judge Bernard's Court against President Ramsay, Treasurer Pruyn, and Superin tendent Von Valkenburg, non-bailable, so that, if executed, stay in prison the gentlemen must. These were sent to Albany to be served, if a bold enough man could be found, for they are entrenched lite rally as well as legally in their railway office. Sheriff Parr reached Albany with these writs on the morning of the 13th, but he has been unable to find the gentlemen on whom to serve them. Under General M'Quade's management, who has taken possession, and works the railway as a military road,.business has resumed its accustomed routine, with Mr. Banks as agent, and Phelps as deputy. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. SCIIOOLS IN RURAL DISTRICTS. Canon Girdlestone writes in further exposition of his scheme of education. His plan deserves at least praise for its simplicity. He wishes that every agri cultural labourer should have a school within imme diate reach, in which his children may be taught elementary subjects under well-trained teachers. It is quite certain that in many parishes no such school exists, and Canon Girdlestone has no hesitation in saying why. The local landowners contribute little, and a large number altogether refuse. Upon these the vicar of Ilalberton would levy forced con tributions in the shape of a rate. Schools already maintained in efficiency would be left untouched ; but where there is no good teaching the State should compel the district to provide a proper supply. In other respects the Canon will leave things as they are. HABITUAL CRIMINALS. Stringent as is the Habitual Criminals Act, the Recorder of Liverpool is one of those who thinks that some of the still more rigid provisions of the original bill ought to have been retained. One of the clauses was that which compelled judges to sen tence offenders who had been previously convicted under certain circumstances to seven years' penal servitude This was struck out. Mr. Aspinall, the Recorder, thinks that with proper restrictions this proviso might have been made useful. The learned gentleman is equally severe upon another class of offenders. "It is only fair that fraudulent traders and persons who impose upon their creditors should be dealt with as common thieves." The Recorder promises strict measure to all traders, great and small, who are brought before him. THE ST. PANCRAS GUARDIANS ON A NEW TRACK. The guardians of the poor in the metropolitan parish of St. Pancras are amending their ways somewhat. Their lost meeting threatened to be an example of decorous monotony, and though they had a slight " tiff," a gusty breeze after the storm, they really did some business—discussed an important question in a proper manner, and came to a satisfactory resolution. The subject considered was the one of boarding out pauper children. The board evidently felt the pressing nature of the matter, and saw clearly the dangers and difficulties to be overcome and avoided. The facts that somewhere about 75 per cent. of the girls brought up in our workhouses afterwards come upon the streets, that the same percentage of boys join the wander ing classes, and that very few of either sex trained as paupers succeed in life, mark the present bar rack and large - school system as a total failure. The inference that more freedom for development is needed for the young than is to be obtained in the workhouse has long ago been drawn. The family of nature has been advocated as the solo means of proper educa tion. To establish a series of families in the work houses has been found impracticable. Hence recourse was had some time ago to boarding out. At first the plan failed; whether from want of proper supervision is the problem now being solved. In several towns in Scotland it has hitherto worked successfully, and in one or two Midland towns of England. The St. Pancras Guardians have now resolved to try it. They have already received an offer from a lady, and, after inquiries, in tend to give her a boy to rear. The boarding -out system is the only present proposal for ameliorating one of the most serious evils of the day. TREATMENT OF LUNATICS. The solicitors to the Commissioners in Lunacy, commenting on three cases of indictment for ill treatment, lay down the present state of the l aw with respect to single lunatic patients. An in sane person may be taken care of in a house where there is no other lunatic, if this be done by a relative or some one who derives no remuneration irom the charge. In such a case the authorities do not interfere except to see that the patient is not ill-treated. But any person who is paid for taking care of a lunatic is boundtc first obtain an order and two medical certificates, to make returns to the Commissione rs , an d t o o b serve other responsibilities. It is by enfo rc i ng th ese con ditions that the authorities are able to protect the defenceless insane. One man is now under trial for taking a patient without the order and certificates; another was recently convicted for illegally detaining an insane woman, and wrongfully possessing him self of her money ; a third was summarily disposed of by the Plympton magistrates for cruelly treating a lunatic. VACCINATION. The anti-vaccination meetings in East London have been supplemented by a very crowded gathering at Mile-End. Several medical men were present, as was Mr. Edmond Beaks. Several mothers, with their children in their arms, graced the stirring scene, and there, too, was " the released from ga o l," M rs . Ann Sipple, who preferred to go to prison rather than tolerate tho unclean process. Another refreshing in stance of zeal was quoted. A man, named Hodge, had been imprisoned for refusing to have his child vacci nated. Somebody sent a sovereign to pay his costs, but the man refused to have his costs paid, and went to gaolon principle. After many speeches, resolutions were passed declaringthat compulsory vaccination was contrary to the principles of the British Constitution, and wasting the hard earnings of the ratepayers. RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. The Philadelphia _Ledger and the Times City editor have got up an interesting dispute as to whether the Engli s h or the American system of granting compensation for railway accidents be the better. The Eingren law awards no damages against a com pany unless negligence can be proven; and this the American writer considers the best mode. The American law charges all accidents upon the com panies, negligence or none; and this the English writer thinks the Lest. The Ledger argues that absolute freedom from accidents cannot be expected, and therefore " impossibilities should not be de manded lest we encourage the refusal of what is rea sonablo and just." The Times City article pleads that if railway companies are not answerable for all accidents a system of insurance societies be comes necessary, and these gain a profit on the business of insurance which, the companies might retain for themselves. It is much better that the companies should pay for all acci dents, and charge the insurance in the fares, than that they should leave the work to other hinds. It is preferable " that a feeling of perfect security should be encouraged among their customers, rather than that on every journey the contingency of muti lations or death should be forced upon their minds by the necessity of taking a separate ticket in relation to it." At present the writer thinks there is no certainty, because the railway companies are able to bring all their power to bear to disprove negligence. It may be observed, however, that they A° not often succeed in prao#o,::;•.', • ...• Dlt. LIVINGSTONE. Many authorities on African matters hold t llB belief that Dr. Livingstone is endeavouring to cross the continent from east to west, and that he wi ll shortly reappear, probably at the mouth of t . llB Congo. When the famous explorer made his furs' , journey to Loanda, he was met in the' i n terior. 01 Angola by Dr. Welwitsch. In the conversation which ensued the mysterious portion of equatorial Central Africa which rests a great white blank in maps especially occupied their attention. Welwitsc' gave Livingstone all the information he had beel able to acquire, and though the English explorer cll not express any intention of entering the u nlin . ol , l land, he seemed deeply impressed with the subj ec t": Dr. Welwitsch thinks it by no means improba ble that the missing explorer is trying a march acr °s9 the continent.
