The several railway journals this week exalt the Prospects of the Erie line, and, according to Hera- Pat h) " with fair rates, it ought to be enabled to pa l'from 10 t o 15 per cent. per annum dividend, ,especially when the great Pacific line, for which it via th e b est route, is in full operation." Still, even . h ose who may a d m i t t h e poss ibl e correctness of th i s j ileal ation, must ask themselves what p o w er ; ( s le Y have to obtain the dividend, even suppos ."sig it t o b e earned. The line was a good line, e , d capable, of earning good dividends, a t theme ell all its revenues were diverted and the price p r o down at 16. As any revival in this Etoek will 'i, ° bably lead to a renewed introduction of New t _ ° rk railway and other undertakings, it is neces ;"7 that the European public should constantly be i e euli nded of the fact that in that State there are no t el means 'whatever by which they can protect ttieir property, and that if they ever receive a re -4:11 Of a single dollar it must simply be consequent ilia the individual honesty of the parties who have el. control. In some of the other States of the the case may be different. hg report of the Mauritius Land Credit and th: ~h e Y Company (Limited), to be presented ou alid 4B th inst., shows an available total of £4,127, thei_reeolumends a dividend of I.s. 6d. per share ti oll u o g , 5 per cent. for the half-year), the appropria ' £ l ,OOO to exti ngu i s h th e prel i minary ex serve' account, and the a dditi on o f £ l,OOO to re- Q2 s „!thich will thus be rais e d t o £3 , 500 , l eav i ng ' i t i t o be carr i ed forward.

He has been driven h an open carriage and taken long walks. It is said that the doctors (Nelaton and Faniel) have taken a short holiday, in consequence of. the improvement in the Imperial patient. The Thr...press's journey to Suez is much talked of in conue^:ion. with the visit of M. de Lesseps to Saint Cloud. It if: now thought that her Majesty will set cut on the 30th iloptembcr, and the nroparations for her departure aro vigorously proceeded with. The Patric quotes with enthusiastic approval a passage from the Universe' in which it is affirmed that Prance was never more averse to a revolution than she is now. Pos sibly it is for this very reason that the present uncertain position of affairs occasions such general anxiety. If we are to judge frcm the reports continually in circulation, the Emperor himself is not beyond the reach of this feeling. ➢cost of the rumours point to some chan:N in the form of government, with a view to improving the chances of retraining the throne for the Napoleonic dynasty. You have heard, of course, the particulars of the abdication scheme ; but there arc other rumours afloat which suggest that, while the Emperor contemplates the possibility of such an event, ho wishes to defer it to a future day, and to prepare the people for the substitution of his son for himself by associating him now with his government. According to this story, a plebiscite or a Senatus-Consultum is to intro- duce the young Prince to a share of his father's official labours after a fashion formerly observed in Imperial Rome. The convocation of the Corps Legislatif is still the great political question. Some attention has been excited by the letter of N. do Keratry, in which he announces that ho will present himself at his post on the 2Gth of October (the constitutional limit of the recess), and he hopes to meet forty or fifty deputies who will join him in entering a protest against a prorogation which he deems "worse than illegal." I hear that a deputy from the Extreme Right contemplates a similar movement, but, curiously enough, the Left and the irreconcileables have not decided to take any part in it. If those keep aloof, there is not much cause to apprehend any great results, though any such movement would bo awkward at a time of so much suppressed excitement. The affair shows plainly the imprudence of the Covernment in prolonging the delay, and so placing themselves in a position of needless embar rassment. M. Drouyn do Lhuys has just given a brilliant enter tainment, which immediately gave rise to tho report that he anticipated a return to his old official life before long. It appears that Marshal Begnault is not so ill as was supposed at first; ho has been suffering from a severe attack of rheumatism, but at no time has ho been in danger. The ratrie declares that the French Government has come to a decision respecting the (Ecumenical Council. It has been determined that as the Council will only treat of purely religions questions, there is no occasion for the Government to be represented there. Some of the French prelates who go there intend, if opportunity occurs, to rep esent the interests of France on their own responsi; bility, and the Court of Rome has accepted this solution of the difficulty. There is a report that Earon I3eust has left Baden, and that he will come to Strasburg, and. probably to St. Cloud. Should this turn out corrcet, there will be great excite ment in certain (1;1 - raters, and we may look for all kinds of speculatic;as on the subject. The Emperor now sleeps at Villeneuve l'Etang, hi order to escape the noise occasioned by the fact at St. Cloud. General Prim did not succeed in his attempt to arrange !waters with the American Envoy respecting the Cuban affair. It was thought more prudent to wait and leave the Cortes to decide the important question. Until then it is believed that the American Government will not compli cate things by recognising the independence of Cuba. After all it seems that the marriage of :M. Emile 011ivior has not yet taken place. The Marseilles journals were mistaken in the announcement, and the telegraphs copied their error. The lady is the daughter of an Indian merchant, who has a considerable fortune. Queen Isabella went with her children to-day to the fair at St. Cloud. The Prince Imperial also paid a visit to the Circus, and stayed till ten o'clock. I hear that the Prince of Wales did not go to St. Cloud after all; but a general impression prevailed that he had paid a visit to the Emperor. A committee of Socialists have addressed a letter to Louis Blanc in view of the coming supplementary elec tions. They wished to ascertain if the prominent Republi can would take the electoral oath, and have received for answer a decided negative. A similar question, says M. Blanc, was put to him by Marseilles, St. Etienne, and Paris. Ho calls upon the peOple to demand the abolition of the oath, and advises them to elect only those who refuse to take it. Their votes will not be counted by the Government, it is true, but the democratic electors may obtain a list of the suffrages and putdisn them. - - The following were the words in which the late Wade Bolton, of Memphis, left Mrs. Jackson $lO,OOO : " 1 give and bequeath the widow and children of Gen. T J. Jackson, known as Stonewall Jackson, who fell at the battle of Chancellorsville, Virginia, ten thousand dollars, as history tells me hie widow's furniture Imo said after his 41414 An debt."

Lag , 1112 118 1141 ___ OFFICERS' AMUSEMEN Lieutenant William Thompson Adair, of the t,riatharo division of Royal Marines Light Infantry, and Charles Adair, an officer in the Royal Navy, were apprehended in Rochester at an early hour on Friday morning by the police of that city on the charge of being con cerned in several gross outrages, maliciously damag ing the exterior of several houses, and also with having disabled one of the police constables in the execution of his duty. The accused shortly after midnight on Friday visited several houses in the Maidstone-road, at each of which they proceeded to commit the most wanton mischief. At the residence of Alderman J. G. Naylar they smashed a piece of statuary and committed other damage. They next proceeded to the residence of Mr. R. S. Gibbons, where they destroyed several flower vases and removed some metal ornaments, which were afterwards found thrown into a pond near. At Grove House they damaged the ornamental wall surrounding the garden, but being pursued, they effected their escape. They after wards broke one of the public lamps in East gate, and en Croak, a police-constable, attempting to arrest them, he received a severe kick from cne of the accused, from the effects of which he has since been prevented dis charging his duty. The two officers were ultimately cap tured in Chatham, while running away to the Royal Marine Barracks, one of them being without his hat, which he had lost. The accused were brought before the mayor AO magistrates at the Guildhall at twelve o'clock on Saturday. The magistrates, after deliberating in private for some time, ordered the defendants to pay the sum of £4 155., amount of damage and costs for the malicious damage, and Charles Henry Adair a further sum of £3 for the assault on the police-constable. Tho fine and costs, amounting to £7 155., were tt once paid by the defendants, who immediately left the court. GOLD-MLDS AT HOME AND ABROAD. The Mining Journal reports on the Australian gold fields that the total quantity of gold received by Govern ment escort at Sydney in the first six months of this year was 105,333 ozs., as compared with 107,702 ozs. at the cor responding period of 1862, and 99,264 ers. in - the corresponding period of 1867. The yield of gold has slightly increased this year in the western gold fields of New South Wales, but it has de clined in the southern and northern field of the colony. The slight falling off which is observable, upon the whole, in the yield of gold in New South Wales this year is attributed to the fact that drought in February and March caused many crushing machines in the western districts to stop work. A new rush is reported in Queensland to Goganja Creek. Mr. Goodall, one of the discoverers of the Tower Hill quartz reef in Tasmania, has obtained a twenty-one years' lease of 157 acres of the land on which the reef occurs ; and he pro poses, with the assistance of some Victorian capitalists, to test thoroughly the value of his discovery. Mr. T. G. Williams, the discoverer of a reef of auriferous quartz at Waterhause, in Tasmania, had, at the last dates, 150 tons of quartz stacked, which were expected to yield from 4 oz to 6 oz. to the ton. The gold-fiels in Scotland are by no means so favourably spoken of. The Inverness courier says :—" The Kildonian diggings are still maintaining a struggle for existence, but it is only of a lingering description, here being now only some fifty diggers at work. They have, however, been pretty successful of late on the new piece of ground allotted to them on the burn beside the ICildonian tent village, but it is being quickly worked out, and there is little hope that the diggers will get new claims marked out to them at the places they desire when the present is exhausted. Under this apprehension many of the old experienced hands left some time ago, and those remaining will in all probability soon quit the scene also. The Duke of Suther• land has recently visited the diggings once or twice, and it is understood that he was favourable to the views of the diggers ; but between the grumbling of the farmers and the probability of having to pay a pretty large sum by way of compensation for the ground already turned over in the search for gold, he has been led to hesitate, and up to this time no promises have been made. He has, however, granted permission to diggers to prospect over the range of hill ground lying between the burns of Suisgill and Kildonan, and offered a reward of £lO for tho discovery of " paying " gold or auriferous quartz over the tract incli• sated. This reward, however, does not seem sufficiently tempting to the diggers, as none of them have as yet taken any steps to earn it. INSPECTORIIIP or PRISONS.—The HOMO Secre tary has appointed Dr. Briscoe to be Inspector of Prisons. in the place of Mr. Perry, who recently resigned. Water runs over Niagara Falls at the rate of 1,500,000,000,000 cubic feet - every minute, -giving a_watel power force enonzh to perform all the mlnual labour in New York ::!tate. A Charleston paper states that there is in South Carolina a young . ex-Ccalfclerat:s. soldier, who lost his leg in the war, from the stump c.f whose thi[Ji a new leg and foot arc growing. A nobleman observing a person, eminent for lii philosophical talents, intent upon choosing delicacies at table, said to him, " What! do you philosophers love dainties ?"—" Why not ? " returned the other. "Do you think, my lord, that the good things of this world were made for blockheads ?" I engaged, says a lawyer, a chaise at Galway city to conduct me some few miles into the country, and had not proceeded far when it pulled up at the foot of a and the Irish driver, coming to the door, opened it. " What are you at, man ? This isn't where I ordered you to stop.' " Whi9t, your honour, whist ! said Paddy, in an undertone; "I am only desaving the beast. I'll just bang the door; he'll think yer out, and then he'll cut up tho hill like the very devil. See if he don't." MATRIMONY AT NINETY.--A couple whose united ages amountoi to 176 years wore joined in holy wedlock in St. John's Church, Sligo, on Monday morning, the bride. groom, who is an old decrepit shoemaker named Adderson, being over 90 years of ago, while the bride has seen 80 summers. The marriage of course created great amuse ment, and but for the precautions taken by the sexton there is no doubt that the " happy pair " would have been mobbed on leaving the church. VICTOR HUG O'S PEDIGREE.—A. correspondent of the Telegraph writes :—" Truly Victor Hugo needs no pedigres , to render his name more illustrious. 'Adored in France, venerated in America, esteemed in England, beloved in Germany and Italy,' as you so justly say, if he had been the son of a carpenter ho would not have been the first of such birth whose name had become of world-renown. Nevertheless the truth is the truth, and there is no reason why the spiteful lie of the Pays should go uncontradictol. I can assure you, of my own knowledge, that Victor 11 - ago's father was a distinguished soldier who served under Napo leon Bonaparte, and subsequently under Joseph Bonaparte in Spain. He was created a baron by the latter, and he rose to the rank of general. lam also nearly sure that Baron Mum came of noble' family of Lorraine." Michael Kelly, in ItSUtl, appear) to have posed the commissioners of tho income tax in snaking his return of pursuits and emoluments. In the pride of his heart he returned his_incorne at £533 yearly ; but the commissioners were not contented, and urged that his various employ dents must bring him in twice or thrice that annual sum Here is Michael's account of his interview :—" Sir," said atti irde to oonfoss I have erred in my return, but varsity VMS dati.46, and vanity is the badge bf rill my tribe. I hate returned myself as §slla phi atimun, when, in fact, I have not five hundred pence of certiiii ltilieiti6t,-,--"Fray, sir," said th' commissioner," are you not stage-X:etit4g6f to the opera house ?"—" Yes, sir," said I; "but there is WA Oven a IPA - Hind Salafy attached to that office. I p,;:lf"rm its finti63 to gfatify firy love of rfitisie Well, but Mr. 14111:;'; ttly exafilider, ."#!?tt teach r—" I do, sir,' answered I, "hut ebsdtved another gentleman, who had not spoken before, "that 'As are an oratorio and concert singer ?"—"You aro quite right," said I to my new antagonist, "but I have no engagemElno—" Well, but at all events," observed my first inquisitor; " yott have a very good salary at Drury Lane ?' A very geed ofib, indebd; Sit; alisWeitd I I "but then it is niSver paida''—" but you gal to hairb hiWays tt find benefit, sir ?" said the other, who seemed to know some thing of theatricals. "Always, sir," was any reply; "but the expenses attending it arc very great, and whatever profit remains after defraying them, is mortgaged to liqui date debts incurred by building, my saloon. Tho fact is, I am at present very like St. Ceorge's Hospital—supported by voluntary contribution—and have even less certain income than I felt sufficiently vain to return.". JOURNALISM IN AMERICA.—The Boston Daily Tribune, the long promised prohibition organ, made its appearance, Monday, Aug. 30.

DISASTERS AT SEA. FOUNDEDING OF THE GOLDEN FLEECE. The reoeiver of wreck at Cardiff has forwarded to the Board of Trade the sworn deposition of Capt. Walter Fisher, commander of the Golden Fleece steamer (formerly a troop transport), which under extraordinary circumstances foun dered at her anchors off the coast of Pendrith, on Saturday morning last. The statement is as follows :—The Golden Fleece was a screw steamer of 1,439 tons register, owned by the Meachants' Trading Company, of Liverpool. She was built of iron at Blackwall in 1864, and had a crew of forty-one hands. The steamer left the Henarth Dock, Cardiff, on the 10th of September, the ship at the time being well found in every respect. She was in excellent trim at the time of sailing. The coaling ports and side ports were all properly secured. No repeat was made up at any time of a weakness at the upper deck gunwale or waterways. The ship proceeded on her voyage, and steamed down full speed to about three miles and a half cif Sully, whore I let go an anchor, not liking the look of the weather. Intending to proceed as soon as the weather moderated, I gave orders the chief engineer to have steam in readiness at 4 aan. the next morning (Saturday). The pumps were sounded be fore leaving deck; the vessel was making no water. At 9.30 p.m., the wind W.S.W., blowing a fresh breeze, the ship still at anchor. While in conversation with the chief engineer, the second officer, who was in charge, rushed up on deck from the engine room and gave the alarm that the ship was filling, and that the water was rushing through the starboard-side bunker. I immediately went to the skylight, and on looking down saw a large rush of water coming from the starboard bunker into the stoke-hole. I then sang Call all hands on deck." The chief engineer came on deck and said,'She is sinking' I told him to get steam up at once,and gave orders to have all the boats ready, and told the second officer to stand by ready to slip cable, as I intended to run her ashore to save the ship. In a few minutes they called out from below, All ready.' I then gave orders to let go the cable, put on full steam, and steer for the shore. These orders were immediately obeyed. After steering about twenty minutes I observed the steamer heel over to starboard. Some one now called out from aft, Stop the engines, the boats are in the way' I believe the water at this time had already done so. While this was going on rockets and blue lights were fired from the bridge to obtain assistance from shore. I then assisted in getting some of the boats out, the crew getting into them as fast as they could. A pilot boat now came up. I hailed them to come alongside. They came as near as they could, and took all the crew on board with the exception of one man, the cook's mate, who was afterwards found missing. While on my way to the pilot boat I saw the steamer go down in six fathoms about a mile and a half from the shore. I should think it only occupied about forty minutes from tho time the water was first seen until the vessel went down." BALL WA: ht • Bil•l4.enheei 00 Do. 44 per cent.

The 'familia Mitchell wes a first-class iron ship of nearly I,OOJ tons, owned by Mr. Thomas Mitchell, of Glasgow, and was commanded by Captain Brandscombe. Lloyd's register describes her as having been built at Dundee in 1364, under special survey. She sailed from Gravesend on the sth of April last, and she pa'Aed, Augur Point on the 15th July. The crew appeared to have saved themz..elves by the ship's boats, and reached the port in safety. On the intelligence reaching Shanghai the English Consul, with Lloyd's agent, took immediate steps to save as much of the valuable cargo as possible, especially the £50,000 in specie, which was stowed in a strong chest under the captain's cabin. There is from nineteen to twenty- five fathoms depth of water round the rocks where she struck. THE CBUISE OF TIM LORDS OF TIIE ADMIRALTY. The combined fleet, led by the Agincourt, Admiralty flagship, arrived off Lisbon on September 13, after a fine passage from Gibraltar. The squadron were to leave Lisbon on the 16th for another cruise, after which the Channel Squadron will depart for Queenstown, while the Mediterranean fleet will return to its own station. The fleets left Gibraltar on the third, the shore being crowded with people anxious to catch the laA glimpse of the most formidable squadron that ever sailed from Gibraltar. On clearing the streits,the squadron formed intro columns, the rendezvous in ease of 2c:Aration being Cap D ur hig the next day or two several changes were mad,. in the position of the shies, which enabled them to display readiness in evolutions. The fleet pail .a brief visit to Tangier 7, and the Admiralty eilicials wcra received with great state by the Moorish authorities. Monday and. Tuesday, the Gth and 7th of.,September, were devoted to sailing trial~. At the beginning of the trial the Inconstant soon drew ahead of the squadron, closely • folle vcd by the W.:tie Cube:. The contest between these two vessels excited considerable attention, every be dy being anxious to contrast the performanc e of the new frigate age inet something more speedy than the overweighted ieonclads. At eleven o'clock, when the fleet tacked, the Inconstant had gone about four miles dead to to windward, and appeared to be rapidly increasing the distance. When the squadron again tacked at two o'clock the Inconstant had greatly improved her position. The result of this trial, so far as the iron clads are concerned, proved their incapability of beating to any moderate breeze. Some disappointment was felt at the result of this day's sailing, especially as regarded the Hercules and Monarch, the first of which refused to wear, and the latter to stay, in obe dience to orders. By direction of Mr. Childers and Sir Sydney Dacres both ships were signalled to send in written reports on the subject. The next day their lordships determined to start the Inconstant, Monarch, Hercules, and Cruiser together from the fleet in a run over a certain distance to leeward, and thence to beat back to the fleet to windward. The Royal Oak was selected as the mark ship, and on the last of the four ships passing her was to fill and join in the chase back to windward. Tho result of the trial wa,s very similar to that of Tuesday. `The Inconstant hove to under the Agiucourt's stern at half-past two, beating the Cruiser by a'eeut twenty minutes. The remaining vessels continued the trial till four, when the Royal Oak had gained about two miles On the Hercules, which was from half to three-quarters of a mile to windward of the Monarch. The two last-named vessels seem pretty evenly matched, the Monarch beating the Hercules when the evind was astern or on the quarter, and the Hercules reversing tho order of things when on a wind or close hauled. The drills of the combined fleet at sea terminated with the target practice of Friday, the 9th inst. At daylight on the 13th inst. the fleet entered the Tagus, presenting a splendid sight as they swept up to their anchorage off the city. The First Lord has signified his intention of giving a cup to be rowed for by the gun room officers in the boat-races to be held on the Tagus. Mr. Childers, it seems, is busy in extending his knowledge of professional details in a practical manner, which is likely to be serviceable to him at the Admiralty. The number of sick in the fleet was 317 out of 8,077. The Caledonia has been especially unfortunate in the matter of sickness, owing to a kindof epidemic influenza. During part of the cruise one-fifth of her hands have been disabled. The Times special correspondent thus summarises the chief points established by the cruise. 1. The efficiency of the Channel and Mediterranean squadrons in steam evolu- tions is not commensurate with the cost of their annual practise in tho two items alone of coals and wear and tear of machinery. 2. The dangerously defective action, under certain conditions of wind and sea, or amount of helm -riven, of the balance-rudder principle. 3. The superiority in sailing to windward of the oldest over the latest pro duced of our ironci.,.li This position of affairs may, how .; • el conditions of a stiff breeze. ever; be te*eesed under the alter , ._ _ 4. lid ktetitiieSt ironelftel ships under team in the two squadrons aro the eigineotiti . , Minotaur, NorthuiZ berland, Hercules, and Monarch. The most fittsfeady of all aro te:f' Pallas, Royal Oak, Caledonia, Lord Watt - le7E i Prince Consort, in the order given. The ship having the greatest inclination under sail is the Inconstant, but this defect, if it is considered ono of great moment, can easily be recti fied. 5. The undoubted great superiority of the turret over the broadside principle in maintaining a continuous fire in a rolling sea. Broadhead, the notorious Sheffield unionist, is one of the sufferers under the new Ili erhouse Act. The Shef field bench on Friday rejected an application which ho made for a renewal of the liunce v h - ch 1 c lad for son o timo enjoyed. On the Bridgwater Election Commission on Satur day important evidence was givrn by five members of the family named Duffle. TLey charged Andrew Allen' with endeavouring to make them commit perjury in the affair of the election petition, which some of them did, as they were pro mpted.
