Already the disunion movement in the United States begins to ebb, and the reason for the hot haste of the Secessionists in Georgia and South Carolina is becoming apparent to all. The agitators well know that secession would not bear reflection, and they were anxious to make what capital they could out of the mortification of the hour. H ence it was their object to hasten on a convention of delegates from the Slave States at once, before men's passions should have time to cool after their pro voking defeat. The South Carolina Secessionists have prospered so far in their schemes that they have succeeded in getting a Convention of the State fixed for the 17th of this month instead of January 13th, as at first proposed ;—even those few weeks would, they feared, do much in bringing men to reasonable counsels, a fact which of itself shows their conscious weakness. Had they been sure of a popular and a good cause, they would have preferred rather to give it time to gather irresistible strength. In some of the counties of Georgia itself, immense "mass meetings" have been held to oppose disunion. Similar meet ings have been held in Virginia, the most influen tial of the Southern States. And though nothing has or can be formally determined on yet, and a onvention will be called probably of more than ne state, yet all looks as if time and discussion would 500 n calm down the excitement. We h ave, moreover, by the last mail a letter of Mr. DOUGLA S A and a speech of Senator TRUMBULL of Illinois, a friend of Mr. LINCOLN'S, and pre sumed to know well his policy, both of which arc equally adapted to bring to their senses all who have not, lc* them for ever; also a speech of thanks by Mr. L INCOLN himself which, though very brief, and in quite general language, is yet entirely conciliatory. "In all our rejoicings," he says , " let us neither express nor cherish any harsh feel in g s towar d any citizen who by his vote has differed with us. Let us at all times remembe r that all American citizens are br o th ers of a common country, and should dwell together in the bonds of fraternal feeling." The oth er gentlemen, however, enter fully into the subject; Mr. DOUGLAS, who acknowledges that no man can regret Mr. LINCOLN'S election more than he does, yet shows, for two reasons principally, that it is impossible to make it a ground of secession. Nothing, he observes, illegal or unconstituttomil has been done. The Federal compact has been no way violated; the election has been conducted in all respects according to the law of the Union, and there is therefore no shadow of a pretext at pres3nt for separation on account of the election itself. As a good citizAi and law-abiding man, he feels hpund to declare that the mere election of any man to the Presidency by the American people, in accord ance with the constitution and laws ; does r of of itself furnish any just or reasonable ground for dissolvin g the Federal Union. But the reason most satisfactory to himself, and probably to his correspondents, is that by which he endeavours to show that Mr. LINCOLN i$ rather an object of pity than of dread. That he is so fettered by a majority both in the Senate and the House of Representatives that he will be powerless for evil. The present laws, Mr. DOUGLAS argues, and with too much truth, are all such as the South must wish to keep, and Mr. LINCOLN cannot repeal them. He cannot even fail in his duty as a Presi dent without finding himself " a poisoner before the High Court of Impeachment." In a minority in both Houses of Congress, and with the Supreme Court (the same which gave the infamous DRED SCOTT decision), to expound the laws he will be powerless for evil. Mr. DOUGLAS does not deem it possible that the President should be able to per petrate any act which would interfere with the rights of individual citizens, or invade the reserved rights of the States on the subject of Slavery. Even his nominations to office must be confirmed by the Senate, so that a body in which the South confides can prevent his appointing any bad man to a public post. Mr. Senator TRUMBULL joins, to a great extent,' in the same line of reasoning with Mr. DOUGLAS. He also shews that hot a single illegal aet has been committed to justify the idea of secession, but he disclaims besides for his party any thought of trench ing on the rights of the States. Mr. LINCOLN will be, he says, the President of the whole country, and as ready to protect and defend the State from which he has not received a solitary vote, against any encroachment on its constitutional rights as the one in which he has received the largest majo rity. Those who elected him knew that they elected a President with limited and delegated ere ; they contemplated no inroad upon the rights of any of the States ; on the other hand, the Republican party will rejoice in an opportunity of showing that they are " not for interfering with the domestic institutions of any of the States, nor the advocates of negro equality, or amalgamation, with which so many have charged them." Secession, he says, is an impracticability, or rather an impossibility. The Constitution provides no way by which a State can withdraw from the Union. If all the Federal officers in South Carolina were to resign, and the State to declare itself out of the Union, the only result would be inconveni ence to the State itself, so long as it did not venture to interfere with the collection of the Federal re venues. And, then, as to its raising an army, what is the army to do ? With whom is it to fight P Revolution would not begin till they attacked the Federal officers in collecting the revenue; but there is no complaint against the Revenue laws. He shews that the clamour of S. Carolina is, in fact, a sham. She complains of the non-execution of the Fugitive Slave Law ; yet she is so surrounded by slave States that just in her case the law is never needed. He warns them, however, that the great mass of the people of the States will not tolerate separation in any form—that " the Union must and shall be preserved." But if the South have so little to fear from the triumph of Republicanism, we may well begin to ask what all the stir has been about. We cannot do better on this pcint than quote Senator TRumnuLfs own words—" Should any Republican inquire what has been gained by the triumph of Republicanism, I answer much. We have gained a decision of the people in favour of a Pacific Railroad—a homestead policy—a judiCious tariff—the admission into the Union of Kansas as a free State—a reform in the financial department of the Government—and, more important than all, the verdict of the people—the source of pourer, and from whose decision there is no appeal, that the con stitution is not a slavery extending instrument. No more DRED SCOTT decisions will now be made. Free men, both of the North and of the South, will here after be protected in all their constitutional rights. The policy of the Government, as of old, will now set in favour of freedom, and not for the supremacy of slavery, as has been the case for the last six years. Freedom henceforth will be the law of the territories, because the people, in their majesty, have so ordered, and neither courts nor COligresses will be able to thwart their will. When full effect shall have been given to all these great measures of the Republican party, and the preju dices engendered against it in the minds of many, by the artful appeals of demagogues, who have mis represented its objects, shall have been removed by actual knowledge of its acts, we may expect the bitterness of party spirit to subside, the cry of dis union to be hushed, and the principles of Republi canism to become the permanent policy of the Gcvernment, under which it will flourish and pros per, as I trust, for ever." One of the most illogical arguments it has ever been our fortune to read has but just now been endited by Lord DIIIRY in depreciation of the newly projected Society for the Relief of Distress in the Metropolis. At the very outset of these strictures by the noble lord, he takes occasion somewhat perversely and petulantly to designate S. G. 0. " a chartered libertine." 'Without indulg ing in any such direct vituperation upon W. D. B. the noble lord insinuates as plainly as possible that he is fain to regard the gentleman represented by those now familiar initials as one of the most indiscreet and crotchetty of living philanthropists. Lord EMMY, when he sat down to write this long yarn of his, at Moor Park, on Saturday, the Ist of Decertiber, was evidently in ill-humour with nearly everybody (himself included) and with nearly everything. His aid he bad some time since accorded, he acknowledges, to the recently defunct Society for the Establishment of Playgrounds in London and Westminster. He is "put out" at the failure of that benevolent scheme—" I confess," he says, "I am not disposed to criticise with undue severity the conduct of those who "—had the management of the undertaking ! He has just written " I had no hand in its management." And he goes on to protest that he has no inclination to fall foul with those who had. Observe he is burning to be " at" them—tooth and nail—hammer and tongs—at the very time he deprecates any such intention or even predisposition. He has given his name, he has given his guineas, so that if possible all the gamin: de 'Andres may bowl their hoops, spin their tops, fly their kites, fillip their marbles, tip their "cats," and so forth through the whole Book of Games in their own nicely gravelled and smoothly sodded Playgrounds. He is sorely vexed that the whole Project ha s co ll apse d. M os t o f all h e mus t b e irritated a ga i nst t h e management un d er w hi c h it has coll a p sed. obvious, h e has Yet in spite of all this, which is so not the smallest wish, he protests, to criticise with undue severity that same manage- I 1:11A1 - . Ilaving tied hi s own hands from the chance of flinging even a single gibe against the I.:Jeently deceased association that never came to anything beyond a public • diuner and a p r ospectus and a subscription list upon the principle, of course, de mortals et ceter a : Lord EMMY turns round savagely upon the little callow project of benevolence that has but just chipped the shell in its nest under the eaves of the Thatched House. His - lordship can heave a sigh, could almost drop a tear, for the unaccountable failure of the attempt to supply toys, or, at any THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING : DECEMBER 4, 1860. I rate, playgrounds for the use of toys in them — to I the moping urchins of the metropolis, who are restricted for the most to the manufacture of dirt pies in the gutters—having in their eyes a becoming fear of the policeman. But for the Relief of Distress, as projected by W. D. 8., and as advocated by his sympa thisers, Lord EBURY can indulge only in words of scorn and objurgation. It seems almost incompre hensible that Lord EBURY could write as he has written upon the subject of this proposed associa tion, that he could have written thus upon such a subject at any time—but it is most of all matter of amazement that he could so inaugurate the month of December, the month of Christmas ! But that we have all long since learnt to recognise in Lord EBURY a man of genuine though (as the case in point indicates) of occasionally eccentric benevo lence, we should certainly have come to the con clusion that his temperament bore an affinity, rather to the old stage-type of the unmitigated hunt or curmudgeon. And throughout these extraor dinary strictures of his, Lord EBURY is above all, as we have intimated at the very outset of these remarks, so illogical ! He directs the particular attention of those who are most interested in this warm-hearted enterprise of Mr. BROMLEY'S, to the eminent success already attendant upon the operation of kindred societies now for years past in existence societies like the Mendicity Society, or again like the Metropolitan District Visiting and Relief Association. Of the latter body he writes—" It is now extending itself south of the Thames, and with an increase of funds is capable of coping, as far as with safety it can be attempted, with all the occasional destitution of the capital." Yet in the same breath almost he inveighs against the distribution of relief in this way among the more destitute part of the metro politan population. He instances, with appa rently a glow of satisfaction while so doing, the remarkable fact that one among the many " Re fuges" in London has, within the last year, pro vided 50,000 lodgings and 116,000 rations to the destitute multitude yet he has scarcely done so when he is prophesying all sorts of dreadful disasters from the distribution of aid by such a scheme as the one proposed by lir. D. B. In order to impress the force of which lugubrious and almost malignant predictions upon the public mind, Lord EBURY, with an astonishing obliquity of judgment, recalls to mind thus garrulously " What took place thirty years ago, when, from a continuance of a lax and what was intended to be a benevolent admini stration of the Poor Laws, paying wages not accord ing to work done but according to the size of the labourer's family, &c., the peasantry of half our southern counties rose in insurrection ; the late Duke of RICHMOND was compelled to repel an attack of armed men by force; and so dangerous was the state of affairs at that time considered to be, that the Duke of WELLINGTON himself left his country house, and established himself at Winches ter, that he might from the most central position of that county of which he was Lord-Lieutenant direct the movements of the regular troops and Volunteers V' As though any such preposterous project as that the acme of the folly of which we have above italicised, had the smallest atom in the world to do with the relief of the most abject poverty in this metropolis, through the agency of this now most generously projected association ! It is susprising to us that a man of common sense, and a man of known benevolence like Lord EBURY should have pledged himself thus petulantly to oppose the establishment and organisation of a society designed to carry aid so humanely to the most hidden and forlorn sufferers, fainting, and occasionally even dying from absolute starvation, in the back slums of this vast metropolis. Lord EBURY, we cannot but think, might better have employed the first day of this present month of December than in penning these strictures against the Relief of Dis tress in the Capital—strictures chiefly remarkable for their most inappropriate ascerbity, for their most perverse and indeed utterly incomprehensible misrepresentation. His Excellency the Count de Persigny will leave London this day for Paris, to enter on his official duties there as Minister of the Interior. The Duke and Duchess of Argyll and family left Buxton on Saturday for Roseneatli Castle, N.B. The Marquis Camden and family, the Earl of Romney and the Ladies Marsham, the Earl and Countess of Orkney, Count and Lady Cecil de la Field, and Lord and Lady Huntingtower are amongst the visitors who are passing the season at St. Leonards-on-Sea. The Earl and Countess of Craven have arrived in town from visiting the Earl and Countess of Verulam at Gorhambury Park. The countess and the Ladies Craven will leave town to-day on a visit to Lady Marian Alford, at Ashbrid ge. _ _ . The Earl and , Countess of Hardwicke passed through town on Saturday from visiting her Majesty at Windsor Castle. The noble earl and her ladyship are gone to Wimpole Hall. The Countess Delawarr was sufficiently recovered from her late indisposition to enable the noble earl and her ladyship to leave Buckhurst Park yesterday for Paris, on their way to Nice and Genoa for the winter. The Earl of Wilton has arrived at Melton Mowbray, from Heaton Hall, Lancashire. Viscount and Lady Blanche Duppliti have returned to town from a tour of visits. Her ladyship is quite recovered from her late indisposition, and will shortly join the family circle about to assemble at Badminton. Lady Marian Alford will receivo a distinguished circle at Ashbridge Park during the present week. Her ladyship will leave Ashbridge early next weekifor Rome for the winter. Lady Margaret Beaumont was safely delivered of a son and heir on Sunday last at Bywell Hall, in Northumberland. Lord Dunkellin arrived in town yesterday from visiting the Earl and Countess of Cork at Marston House. His lordship will shortly leave town to join the Marquis and Marchioness of Clanricarde in Ireland. The Hon. Flora Macdonald has returned to Farrance's Hotel from attending on her Majesty at Wind sor Castle. The Hon. Grantley F. Berkeley has left Far. ranco's Hotel. A letter from Calcutta says that the train which conveyed the Governor-General and his court from Calcutta to Rajmehal, on the occasion of the opening of the East Indian Railway, could have been traced for miles by the softening savour of Manilla cheroots, the smoke of which proceeded equally from the viceregal car and the every-day first-class cariage, forming an Oriental expression of disre gard of Sir Benjamin Brodie's counterblast. DEATH OF SIR HENRY MARSH, BART,—This eminent physician died on Saturday at his residence in Merrion-square, Dublin. Sir Henry rose apparently in his usual health, aid when about to leave his house, his car riage being in waiting at the door, he was seized with an apoplectic fit, and expired at a few minutes past 12 o'cleck. This sad event has thrown a gloom over the city, and caused the deepest sorrow to the profession of which Sir Henry Marsh was so eminent a member. Sir Henry was not conscious after the moment of the attack. The Scotsman announces with regret the death of the Rev. Dr. James Robertson, Professor of Church History in Edinburgh University, and long a leader in the General Assembly, which took place at his house in Ainslie-place, Edinburgh, on Sunday afternoon. On Friday week Dr. Robertson had an attack of constipation, which was followed by jaundice and gastric fever, under which he sank. Dr. Robertson was only in his 53th year, but though apparently robust, had long worn the aspect of a more advanced age. The chief work of Dr. Robertson's latter years has been the promotion of what is known as the Endowment Scheme of the Church of Scotland, in which he laboured with un tiring zeal and with the most splendid success. MR. BRIGHT, M.P.—A meeting is to be held in the Town-hall, Leeds, on Tuesday evening next, the 11th inst., to inaugurate a society called the Leeds Working Men's Parliamentary Reform Association, and among the gentlemen who are announced to take part in the proceed ings are —Mr. John Bright, M.P., Mr. E. Baines, M.P., and Mr. E. A. Leatharn, M.P. The chair will be occupied by Mr. Middleton, barrister, one of the aldermen of the borough, THE LATE EARL OF DUNDONALD.—The Ayr shire Advertiser understands that the mortgagee of Dun donald Castle has made over the property and grounds to the present Earl, in token of his admiration for the deceased. The Salut Public of Lyons announces the death of the Archbishop of Auch. The Bordeaux journals state that upwards of 80 dogs were destroyed in the course of last month by the . poliee for wandering unmuzzled about the streets of that city ; not fewer than 47 persons were prosecuted for having allowed such animals to go astray. THE CASE OF MISS AYLWARD.—The friends of Miss Aylward, foiled in their attempts to secure her libe ration, through a legal quibble, now talk of bringing an action against the Governor of Grangegorman Prison for her illegal detention by him. The News, which claims to be the organ of Roman Catholic proselytism in Dublin, scouts the suggestion thrown out in the judgment of Chief Justice Monahan, that the matter might be brought before a Court of Error, seeing that before such a step could be taken the greater part of the lady's captivity would have expired. The Gazetta di Torino contains the programme of a national subscription for Garibaldi. The committee say —lt is not to confer honour on Giuseppe Garibaldi that we address ourselves to the Italians, but that history may not one day accuse his contemporaries of ingratitude. Some months ago Sir Bartle Frere sent to this country a magnificent collection of casts from Hindu archi tecture and antiquities. These are in the custody of the committee of the Architectural Museum, and, pending the settlement of the points at issue between that body and the Government, are at present invisible to the public. The sum awarded to Herr Molique by the com mittee of the Norwich Festival, as a remuneration for hi successful oratorio of " Abraham" has been returned to the hon. secretary, Mr. Roger Kerrison, with a request on the part of the composer that it may be presented to the cha ritable fund in behalf of which the festival was instituted.7l After an investigation extending over several days, the Royal Dockyard Commissioners terminated their labours at Chatham Dockyard on Saturday afternoon. THE DUKE OF RICHMOND AND KIS LATE CONSTI TT) ENTS.—His Grace the Duke of Richmond has issued the following address to the electors of West Sussex :—" Gentle men,—lt is with feelings of no ordinary pain that I address you on the present occasion. The sad event which we all deplore compels me to resign that trust which you have so generously confided to me for a period of 19 years. I shall never cease to look back with pride and satisfaction on the connexion which has so long subsisted between us. In offering you my best thanks for the many marks of confi dence at your hands, I beg leave to assure you that I shall always continue to take the deepest interest in all that per tains to the welfare of the county of Sussex.—l am, gentle men, your obedient servant—RICHMOND." THE REPRESENTATION OF NEWCASTLE-UPON TINE.—Mr. P. A. Taylor, the radical candidate, in an address issued on Saturday night, retires from the contest. He gives as his reason that he has been twice chosen by a show of hands on previous elections, and, as his going to the poll on this occasion would not secure his return, he vacates the field, and leaves it to be contested by Mr. Beau mont and Mr. Carstairs, promising to come forward on some other occasion, if called upon to do so. As a number of Mr. Taylor's friends will support Mr. Carstairs, the con test will be a pretty smart one. If a Tory had come for ward and fought for the seat along with the two Liberals, Mr. Carstairs might have been elected, but under present circumstances Mr. Beaumont's return is considered pretty certain. The . nomination may be expected on Thursday. SOCIETY OF ARTS.—The subject of electro-block printing, applied to the enlarging or reducing from any printing surface, or original drawing, will be brought before the Society of Arts on Wednesday (to-morrow) evening, the sth instant, by Mr. H. G. Collins. Mr. George Cruik shank will preside. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON.—The council, at their session on Saturday last, received notice that a fund of about £l5O had been raised by pupils, former and present, of the junior school, for instituting a perpetual annual book prize to be awarded to the best mathematician in the school, and to be called the Cook prize, in commemo ration of the respect and gratitude entertained by the subscribers for the late Rev. William Cook, deceased, who for 21 years had been the head mathematical master in the school. The council directed that the offer of Mr. Martin Tucker Smith, M.P., to confer a nomination to an appointment in the Madras Army on a student of the col- lege to be recommended by the council, should be commu nicated to all the students of the college, and their parents and guardians. On the recommendation of examiners, Professor Jenner, Professor Sharpey, M.D., and Professor Walshe, M.D., the Filliter exhibition of £3O, for proficiency in pathological anatomy, was awarded to Mr. H. C. Bastian, of Falmouth. THE ROYAL MAIL STEAMER TASMANIANASHORE. —SOUTHAMPTON, Monday Evening.—The Royal Mail steamship Tasmanian, Captain Sawyer, which sailed this afternoon with mails and passengers to the West Indies, has gone ashore in Totterill Bay, just inside the Needles. The South Western Company's steamer Cou rier, Captain Harvey, from Jersey, reports having ob • served a large steamer showing blue lights and sending up rockets. The Courier stopped her engines and dropped anchor. At 4.45 p.m. Captain Sawyer sent a boat to the Courier, when Captain Harvey went on board the Tasmanian, but found he could render no assistance. She had apparently sustained no damage. It is sup posed that the Tasmanian must have gone inside of the Warden ledge buoy, and the weather being very thick, went ashore. She was lying in three fathoms depth of water, but draws, however, nearly four fathoms. The chief officer of the Tasmanian came up in the Courier for assistance, and Captain Vincent, with steam tugs and a great number of men and appliances, has proceeded this evening to render assistance. It is hoped she will come off with flood tide. It is not known whether the pilot had left her when the accident occurred. A HOME THRUST.—A devout slaveholder in Louisville, Kentucky, was exhorting a poor, pious old female slave to be very humble—reminding her that the Saviour Jesus had neither house nor home. " Yes," she replied with emphasis, " blessed be God; he had no house, no home, and no 'Jiggers !" A QUIET NIGHT IN AN AUSTRALIAN INN.—And then we went to bed. But not to sleep—oh, dear no I I was in bed at a quarter before eleven. At eleven two dogs had a difference of opinion under my window; they walked up and down, growling, till, as near as I can guess, a quar ter past eleven ; when they departed without fighting, at which I was sorry. At half-past eleven (I merely give you approximation as to time : I did not look at my watch), a drunken man fell into the gutter, and, when helped out by another man, pitched into him savagely. They fought three rounds, and exeunt. At twelve, the bar was cleared and a gentleman, of the name of Bob, was found to be unequal to the occasion, and lay down in the mud, pulling a wheelbarrow over him, under the impression that it was the bed-clothes. Bob's mates fell out as to a score at the blacksmith's for sharpening gads. Fight, and grand tableaw—exeunt. At half-past twelve, a drunken Irishwoman was conducted home by two policemen; on reaching my window she declined to proceed on any terms whatever, and committed a series of savage assaults on the constabulary. At ono, a gentleman from over the way came out of his house, and, without notice or apparent reason, discharged a six larrelled revolver, which reminded another neighbour that he might as well let off a two-barrelled fowling-piece; which caused a third neigh bour to come out and swear at the other two like a trooper. Macmillan's Magazine. " POISON PROOF."—On Friday, an inquest was held at Aldershot, touching the death of Samiel Wells Hillier, paymaster sergeant in the 9th Lancers, who had committed suicide by shooting himself the previous morn ing. It appears that Hillier was a defaulter to the extent of seven pounds, and the following letter, addressed to a comrade, was read :—Dear Cliff,—l suppose I'm the last man in the world you would imagine to commit such a deed ; but under my assumed gaiety I have been fright fully miserable for the last six months. . . Besides, what have Ito live for 1 My poor mother, the only person on earth I cared for, is dead. As to death, I look it as calmly in the face as I would a number I report. It is a most remarkable thing, but I really believe I'm poison proof. About ten days ago I took an ounce of laudanum, enough to poison a horse. It had ao effect on me. After that I took eight grains of opium ; again no effect, except a slight drowsiness. Then four grains of morphia ; no effect. I then took five grains of Lig. Opida, Lidatirus, with the same result. My last mode of exit is a sure ono. I know the exact position of the heart, and if a ball doesn't penetrate the centre it is strange to me. I am sure you will say, " What a fool to do such a thing," but my life is truly miserable. When I went to London and heard for certainty of Josephine's marriage with a man I hate above all men, I was nearly driven mad; for, although parted from her for more than six years, I love her more than ever; tut yet I accuse her for marrying the man I hate. Good-bye, good-bye, Cliff. God bless you.—Yours, not perfectly sane. SAM HILLIER. The jury returned a ver dict of fclo de se. A MAN STABBED BY A VOLUNTEER AT DON CASTER.—On Saturday night last, at a late hour, a work man employed at the Great Northern Railway Plant, at Doncaster, named Thomas Smith, was stabbed by a volunteer named Charles Christopher Watson, also employed by the company. Watson had been attending drill on Saturday afternoon, and afterwards it would appear he went to the " Sir Charles Napier" beerhouse, in St. Sepulchre Gate, and there met with Smith, whom he knew, and to whom he offered te toss for a shilling ; Smith acquiesced. Watson lost the toss, and then refused to pay it. Smith demanded paynient and put out his hand to receive it, bat Watson still refused, and the quarrel that ensued caused the land lord to eject him from the house. Smith left in a few minutes, and on his way home he met Watson, who said —" Now you do you want your shilling." Smith said " Yes I do." He again put out his hand to receive it, when Watson, who had on his rifle dress, took out his bayonet and stabbed Smith in the arm, inflicting a serious wound. Watson then made his escape and has not since been heard of. It is thought he left the town after going to his h use and changing his clothes. LYIEF NE \V tS. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) PARIS, DEC. 4.

Private letters from Mazagan state that the place was full of wheat, and that 10 vessels were in that bay ready to ship it, but nothing could be done until the Governor received instructions from the Emperor on the subject. South-westerly gales prevailed with great inten sity along the Barbary coast. A box, containing specie, has been saved from the remains of the Brazilian corvette lately wrecked near Cape Spartel. The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 28th of Novem ber says two Spanish men•of--war steamers were lying at Mogadore waiting for treasure, which the Moors had promised to pay towards the war indem nity. Only one merchant vessel is reported to be loading at the port. Lloyd's agency for Gibraltar and Algesiras fur nishes the following particulars :—lntelligence has been received of the loss, at Suffi, on the 16th ult., of the British schooner Aurora, which sailed from Mazagan on the previous day for the said port. She struck on a rock at Cape Cautin, when the master ran for Saffi, and beached the vessel at that port, where she became a total wreck. The British cutter Union, on her voyage from Cork to Seville, was totally lost on the night of the 22d ult. on the rocks of Salmedinas. It appears that the master and two out of five raen composing the crew left the vessel and were drowned, the other two remained on board, and were saved by the cap tain of the Darro steamer the following morning, who sent a boat and took them off the wreck, and landed them at Cadiz. The survivors of the ill-fated Brazilian corvette Donna Isabella, wrecked on the coast of Barbary, were despatched to Lisbon, per Gibraltar, on the 22d ult. From Lisbon they will be sent to the Brazils.

(Applause.) Yet in an rejoicings let us neither express nor cherish any hard feelings towards any citizen who, by his vote, has differed with us. (Loud cheering.) Let us at all times remember that all American citizens are brothers of a common country, and should dwell together in the bonds of fraternal feeling. (Immense applause.) Let me again beg you to accept my thanks, and to excuse me from further speaking at this time." TREATY BETWEEN &BEAT BRITAIN AND AMERICA. The following contains the substance of the prin cipal articles proposed to be embodied in a treaty of commerce between Great Britain and the United States, and which was discussed before the execu tive committee of the New York Chamber of Com merce by Mr. Lindsay, M.P., on the 20th ult. : " Liability of Shipowners :. To secure national treatment for the vessels of the respective countries, so that the ex tent of liability may be limited and governed by the law of the country in which the case is tried. " Rules of the Road and Lights at Sea : To obtain simi larity or indemnity in the practice and in the laws of Great Britain and the United States with respect to the rules and precautions to be observed by the vessels of the respective countries, in order to avoid collisions at sea. " Offences Committed on the High Seas : To make pro visions for rendering more easy and more certain the punishment of crimes committed on the high seas on board a ship of one country when that ship arrives in the ports of the other country. " Settlement of Disputes between Masters and Crews : To arrange so that the disputes which so often arise in the ships of the respective countries may be promptly settled on the arrival of those ships at the port of either country. " Desertion of Seamen : To agree that the courts of the respective countries where the ships shall arrive shall have summary jurisdiction over the seamen of the respective countries who violate a contract into which they have voluntarily entered and desert from their ships. " Shipping Offices : To establish shipping 'offices a: the leading seaports of the United States similar to those now in operation in Great Britain, and to grant to British shipmasters the use of these offices, provided Great Britain grant to American shipmasters the use of her offices, from which they are now excluded. A suggestion is also made whether the same code of signals might not be adopted by the ships of the respective countries, and whether both countries might not have one meridian for longitude. The principles subjoined it is considered by Mr. Lindsay might also be carried into practice by clauses in a convention. "As to the Liability of Shipowners : The ships of Great Britain and of the United States respectively shall be placed upon an equal footing as to liability for loss of life or personal injury, or loss 'or damage to ships, boats, or goods ; and accordingly the liability of the owners of such ships upon the claims made in the courts of either country in respect of any such loss, injury, or damage shall be limited' in like manner, and to the same extent in each case, and the mode of procedure in reference thereto shall be as provided by the laws of the country where the claim is made. "As to the Rule of tho Road and Lights at Sea : The ships of Great Britain and the United States respectively shall adopt one and the same rule of the road (as may be hereafter agreed upon) for their guidance when meeting at sea; and the ships of the United States shall adopt the system of lights or signals at sea now established in Great Britain. The Courts, therefore, of either country, in de termining whether a vessel which has caused or suffered damage is in fault, shall be guided by these rules, and the adoption or otherwise of the system of lights or signals which have been agreed upon. "As to Offences Committed on the High Seas : In the case of heinous offences (named in the extradition treaty now in force between the two countries), it is agreed that power shall, on the representation of the Minister or Consul of the respective countries, be given to the federal courts of the United States, and to the courts of Great Britain, to apprehend the offender on proof being given such as would justify his committal in either country. But such pri soner can only be delivered to the Minister or Consul of his country, to be sent home for trial, by an order of the Secretary of State of the country where the prisoner was arrested. In all offences of a less heinous nature not in eluded: in the extradition treaty, the power of summary juri: diction shall, on the representation of the Minister or Consul representing the country to which the ship belongs, or in which the offender serves, be given up to the federal courts of the United States and to the courts of Great Britain. " As to the Settlement of Disputes between Masters and Crews : Ph respect to all claims and demands by owners or masters, officers or seamen, against each other, of any ship belonging to either country in the ports of the other which shall ha . , e arisen since such ship last sailed from any port or place of the country to which she belongs, and which shall not have then previously heard and adjudicated upon or in respect of any breach or neglect of ditty, or non-per formance of any contract, all such cases shall (but only on the representation of the Minister or Consul of the country to which such ship belongs) be heard, tried, and dealt with in a summary way by the courts of either country where the ship at the time may be. "As to the Desertions of Seamen : In cases where sea men who have voluntarily engaged themselves to the ships of the respective countries, or apprentices who have bean duly indentured to the owners or masters of these ships, shall desert in the ports of either country, t h e m agistrates of the respective countries shall, on the app lication of the Minister or Consul of the country to which the ship belongs, grant a warrant for the apprehension of the deserter, and endue proof of the desertion cause the seaman or appren tice to be sent back to the ship from which he deserted, and in case of refusal shall inflict such punishment as the l aw of the country where the offence was committed would have inflicted upon the subject of that country for a similar offence. "As to Shipping Offices : The Government of Gre a t Britain shall make provision for extending to Am er i can shipowners the privilege of shipping crews for thei r vesse l s in British ports on th e same conditions as the crews o f Bri tish ships are now en g a g ed, provided the Government of the United States establish somewhat similar offices at the principal seaports of the Union, and grant to British ship owners similar privileges; and it shall not be lawful for engagements to be entered into with seamen of either coun try in the ports of the other unless through the medium of those shipping offices, or by shipping masters duly licensed by the Government of both countries." Various other subjects Were touched upon as to the coasting trade, but the above contains all that we deem of importance. SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT BATIIGATE.—On Friday last, a woman, named Mrs. Jessie Gray, leapt from the window of her dwelling-house, with her child in her arias. Her head was cut in a serious manner, and the face of the infant was also cut, It is said that the woman was under the influence of drink at the time she took the mad leap which mht have pr ove d f a t a l t o b o th herself and her infant ,- --Caledonian Mercury. THE L. rIVSEN. On Saturday, the Ist inst.. the funeral took place of his Excellency the late Baron de Bunsen, so many years Minister Plenipotentiary from the Court of Prussia to England, and previously Prus sian Minister in Rome, whose death we recorded as having taken place at Bonn on the 28th inst. The funeral obsequies were performed between the hours of 3 and half-past 5. At half-past 2 the various companies of the students of the University assembled in the square before the residence of the late Baron, having previously sent a deputation to express their desire to testify their respect to the departed by bearing his body to the grave. The coffin was of oak in the form of a sarcophagus, the• lid much raised, and composed of a succession of plain mouldings in the wood. It was covered with wreaths of evergreens, intermingled with garlands and flowers, most of them sent by friends. Near the head was a bunch of flowers and a small wreath which her },loyal Highness the Princess of Pru ssia had herself sent from the station as she passed. through Bonn, on her way to Berlin the preceding week, as a mark of sympathy and remem brance, and which had been preserved till the death of the Baron de Bunsen, and been buried with him. A garland of evergreens in festoons surrounded the sides of the coffin, on which were six handles. The Lutheran clergy man having arrived entered the library, in the centre of which the coffin stood, and where were also the Baroness de Bunsen, with Mademoiselle de Bunsen and Mademoiselle Amelia de Bunsen, Lady Llanover, Madame Charles de Bunsen, and Madame George de Bunsen. There were also pre sent his Excellency the Baron d'Usedom, Prussian Minister at Frankfort; Count Goltz, Commandant of the District ; Lord Llanover, and three sons of the deceased, Mr. Ernest de Brnsen, Mr. Charles de Bunsen (Secretary of Legation at Turin), and Mr. George de Bunsen ; also the Baron d'Ungern Stern hers', son-in-law of the late Baron de Bunsen. The Baroness d'Ungern Sternberg was prevented from attending by indisposition. A favourite hymn of the late Baron Bunsen was then played on the organ, and the coffin was raised by his three sons, his son in-law, and his two secretaries. The coffin was borne downstairs by the handles between the above named individuals, covered (as described) with flowers and garlands, and followed by a cushion, carried by his attached servant, on which was the star and riband of the order of the Red Eagle, and the star and riband and grand collar of the Order of Saxe, &c. ; next to which walked his Excellency Baron d'Usedom, with Lord Llanover and Count. Goltz, followed by a numerous procession of stn dents of the different corps, in their striking cos tumes, with their chiefs, dressed in black velvet with white gauntlets and red or white plumes, carrying standards, followed by gentlemen,two and. two; the whole was preceded by the military band of the Royal Hussars, commanded by Count Goltz, who took up the same hymn which had been played on the organ until the coffin left the house, and continued playing it in the most impres sive manner through the town, passing round the Grande Place, through the Stern Gate to the cemetery without the town, a distance of nearly a mile. The Baroness de Bunsen and her daughters, with Lady Llanover, met the procession at the grave, where the band having ceased playing, a hymn was sung, after which a funeral oration was pronounced by the Lutheran minister, who afterwards prayed ; and then on giving a signal, a shovelful of earth was held at the foot of the coffin, out of which each son of the deceased in succession sprinkled a little with his hand on the coffin, fol lowed by Lord Llanover and other male friends and connexions. The Lord's Prayer and a hymn concluded the ceremony, which was most impres sive and must have been truly congenial to the feelings of the nearest relations of the deceased baron. There were no mutes, no hearse, no hired. mourners, no noisy confusion of carriages and horses, and although an immense concourse of the lower classes attended, there was no indecorum or confusion occasioned by any person ; all reveren tially uncovered when the minister took off his black cap, and did not replace their hats until he set the example. When the coffin had been borne a certain distance by the sons of the deceased, their places were taken in turns by the students of the tln;versity, and at the grave the chiefs of the corps stood in the foremost line holding their respective standards. The coffin was left on the platform over the grave, covered with flowers, and not lowered to its last resting place till all the atten dants had departed. On the opposite side of the same cemetery are the remains of Niebuhr, who preceded the Baron de Bunsen as Prussian Minister in Rome, who in his turn was succeeded there by the Baron d'Usedom. The late Baron de Bunsen has left besides his widow 10 children to lament his loss, five sons and ;lye daughters, of whom six were under his roof at the 011ie of his decease. Of those absent his youngest son is attached to the Prussian Embassy in Japan. Hie eldest son, the Rev. Henry de Bunsen, is rector of Lilleshall, having en tered the Established Churcb. of Great Britain. Of his daughters two are married—the Baroness d'Ungern Sternberg and Mrs. Battersby Harford ; three of his married children (in cluding Mr. Ernest de Bunsen, who married Miss Gurney), reside altogether in England. TURKISH FINANCES. The Courrier du Dinzanche,in its impression of Nov. 25, publishes a letter from Constantinople upon the finances of the Ottoman Empire. This, letter contains errors which we believe it our duty to rectify. The above journal, which estimates the total Turkish debt at 600,000,000 f., divides this sum total into the interior and exterior debt. The exterior debt it estimates at 280,000,000 f., and the interior at 320,000,000 f., together forming a total of 600,000,000 f. This is an erroneous estimate, and now that the Ottoman Empire is on the point of contracting a loan, we consider ourselves bound to place the facts on a right footing. The exterior Turkish Debt, the greater part of which was contracted in 1854 and 1855, for the requirements of the war in the East, and at a later period for the withdrawal of the paper money, amounts to a total of . . 325,000,000f. The reduction effected up to the present time is about Leaving • • ......... •• • • 310,000,000 f. A higher figure than that of 280,000,000 f., at which this debt is fixed by the Courrier du Dinzancho. Respecting the interior debt a still greater error has been made. According to the Courrier du Dimanche it amounts to 320 millions of francs only. The most precise information, however, estimates the interior debt of Turkey as follows : 1. Amount necessary to buy up the paper money remaining in circula tion 2. Galata obligations payable at different periods (in the same manner as Treasury Bonds in France) 3. Hazi Taviii (Treasury Bonds) 4. Essams Mumbaze (Reimbursable 14,000,000 f. Renter) 5. Serghis (obligations, payment of which, by fifths, becomes due after 1865) 6. Esbams Djedides, or new Con- 15,000,000 f. 86,000,000 f. 56,000,000 f. solidated Bonds) 7. Floating debt, falling due at no fixed period, and proceeding from different ministries Total If we now add the total exterior debt, 310 millions of francs, the entire TurkiFb Debt will amount to a total of 774,000,000 f. This 'Sum of 774,000,000 f. includes all the engage ments and all the interior and exterior debts of the Empire, and actually necessitates an annual dis bursement, for interest alone, of about 38 millions of francs. If, as is asserted, the receipt Budget of the Ottoman Empire . amounts to about 300,000,000 f., the interest on its debt is represe n t e d b y a b o ut 13 per cent. of its revenues.—[ADVT.] with) In hav e prove !luta r Soi uncle, 3 , 18, 41 E ; Per t per New New. 2 Anz u.
