AUSTRALIA. (From the Correspondent of the Times.) MELBOURNE, FEB. 17, The Northam, with the December mail, bearing London dates to the 19th, reached Nepean Bay on the sth inst., and Melbourne on the 7th. By the use of even the broken tele graphic communication to Aden, our local papers now favour us with eight or nine days' later news. This time our intelligence reached the 28th of December. When Puck proposed to " put a girdle round the earth in 40 minutes," he would have been deemed equally absurd, and not quite so poetical and fairy-like, had he limited his pledge to half the earth, and extended the time to 40 days. Yet that is now habitually accomplished, and we know with absolute eertainty that to do the thing in 40 minutes is reduced to a matter, not of impossibility, but only one of very great difficulty and of somewhat discouraging expense. To my mind, the only reasonable definition of the term " diffi culty" is a thing to be overcome." We have, at all events, by the enterprise of the pres', 'got the thing reduced to 40 days. Fill up the hiatus in the Mediterranean line, and we have a further reduction to 33 days. Let that work well for a while, and I am still sanguine that a communi cation will "ultimately be completed to Australia in the way I have before pointed out. On the day the Northam touched at the South Australian mail station (Sunday, the sth) the Great Britaia steamed into Hobson's Bay. She sailed from Liverpool one day before the Northam left Southampton, and arrived here nearly two days before her, thus beating tho mail by nearly ono day. Her passage was made in 55 days and 16 hours. I believe tho Simla made her first voyage out to join the Red Sea line in 55 days and 15 hours, but there is a dispute between the respective owners and agents of these vessels about an hour or two. In the meantime the unhappy fate of the Royal Charter and her living freight has raised the objection by many that the intense greed of the owners of rival lines to accomplish " the shortest passage on record" must greatly increase the risk of life. Of this there can be no doubt. It is really awful to put the proposition broadly —that the wholesale sacrifice of life in the Royal Charter was part of the price the world pays for enormous speed. Can any one doubt that railway travelling at 40 miles an hour involves a greater risk of accidents eceteris paribus, than a speed of 20 miles an hour ? Yet speed the world will have, with all its risks. It is, however, satisfactory to know that there are going hand in hand with this same speed other improvements—other compensations, which have un doubtedly rendered travelling by both land and water safer, on the whole, than it was in former unimproved times, in spite of the occasional occurrence of an appalling disaster such as we have lately had to mourn. On Sunday, the 22d January, we were visited by one of the hottest of all the hot winds we have experienced for the last five or six years. It is difficult, bywords, to give any con ception of these scorching blasts. I can only compare them to the high-dried and heated air which has passed over the surface of melted metal in a foundry. Various thermome ters in different situations marked in the shade 102 deg., 106 deg., 108 deg., 111 deg., and at Castlemaine 116 deg. These differences are to be accounted for by the interven tion of some slight circumstance calculated to moderate the heat of the blast before it reaches the instrument. For in stance, I have found that the wind passing under a veran dah will be reduced in temperature by the time it makes its exit, and if there be creepers around the verandah—a very common thing here—the disturbing effect will be greater. If the creepers be wetted, so as to keep up evaporation, the temperature will be lowered many degrees. In 18,55 I bad an opportunity of measuring very carefully, and, I believe, accurately, the temperature of the hot blast in the shade, and in a spot which the rays of the forenoon sun had not reached. The thermometer was insulated, was not in the way of radiated heat, was protected by an angle of the house from the N.E. and N.N.E. sun, and exposed to the direct action of the hot wind from the north (oscillating a little to the eastward and westward). The degree then attained was 117. I have no doubt that Sunday, the 22d, was as hot in favourable—perhaps, you would rather say unfavour able—situations. It may be thought that this degree of heat is unbearable, but it is not so. The wind blows hard, the air is perfectly dry, while, with a calm or light air from the S. or S.E., I have often found a lower tempera. ture quite intolerable. I am very sure that 80 deg. or 90 deg. with a southerly and moist wind produces much more lassitude than a hot wind of the highest temperature. I have, however, seen the small birds fall and die, and the smaller domestic animals do the same. On the late occasion the gardens were desolated, ordinary vegetables destroyed, shrubs stripped of their leaves, and the unripe fruit literally cooked upon the trees. After two or three days of hot wind, we invariably have a sudden change of wind to S.E., with a great reduction of temperature. On the late occasion the cool breeze set in at 5.30 p.m., and two days afterwards wo wore shivering with cold, the thermometer standing at 57 deg. Influenza has since prevailed to a con siderable extent, with an analogous disorder among animals. There has also been great mortality among infants, and I am assured that if birth take place during a hot wind, the child scarcely ever rallies, the lungs seeming not to acquire power to decarbonise the blood. It is also dating these hot winds that the dangerof fires—especially bush fires—is very great. The grass is so dry that the slightest spark is at once fanned into a flame, which is carried over the ground with great rapidity, increasing fear fully in volume in its progress. On the Sunday to which I have alluded, an extensive bush fire occurred near Lako Burrambeet, about 14 miles north of Ballarat, which did considerable damage, marching over the country at the rate of about 15 miles in half an hour, and de stroying stacks, cottages, and growing crops. One frightful devastation of this kind, which occurred during a hot gale in an unusually dry season (1851), has become historical as " Black Thursday." The late bush fire was, fortunately. of limited extent—that of 1851 was general over a great part of the colony. The great extension of roads and cleared land within the last eight years has very much diminished the risk of these visitations, and the great density of popu lation affords better means of subduing them. Although trade continues to be very depressed, the past month has not been marked by any great commercial dis aster. There have been several insolvencies, it is true, but thay are generally for moderate, and in many cases very trifling amounts; and the state of commercial confidence is decidedly better than it was when the January' mail left. The state of the exchange has checked the transmission of specie to Europe, and the banks have been much more liberal in their accommodation. The quarterly statement of the banks shows some improvement in the increased amount of deposits in the fourth quarter of 1859 as com pared with the third quarter, the difference being £217,000, while the debts due to the banks—chiefly for discounts— have increased about £lB,OOO. Still there are features in the commercial condition of the colony which afford grounds for considerable anxiety, and which ought to operate as a warning to shippers on speculation in England. These are chiefly the decreased production of gold, and the continued pouring in of goods upon an already overcharged market. As to the supply of gold, we have long been anticipating that the increased and still increasing application of machi nery, and the carrying on of mining on a large scale with combined labour, would result in a considerable increase of supply ; but that expectat ion has not yet been realised, and the weekly returns still exhibit continued decrease. Much of the labour which \vas devcted to gold min ing. 1141°2 " di gg in g " was a popular pursuit now goes to the production of consumable articles. Agri culture has greatly extended of late years. A large num ber of trifling articles which used to ho imported are now manufactured hero. A great deal of cheap clothing is now made in Melbourne. There are at least two manufac turers of lead pipes by improved hydraulic machinery. Sawinills are numerous ; gristmills have also kept pace with agi ic ulture. Marble chi inneypieces 'and ornamental parts of mouldings for the best class of houses are made on the spot. Iron foundries are springing; up on every goldfield. All these enterprises supply on the spot articles which we used to buy with raw gold. Thus, while we have less gold, we really want less gold. That our revenue from all sources keeps up is proof that production on the whole has not de - creased. But by the English speculative shipper this new feature, this gradual transition, so to speak, should be re garded as a special warning. Another evidence of the ac tivity of productive enterprise not necessarily increasing foreign trade is afforded by the number of patents taken out annually for improved processes of manufacture. They have amounted during the last two years to about 100 per annum. I have been informed that one trifling process for making lace or gauze cap-fronts for wome n saves an importation of about £40,000 a 'ear. A company is now at full work re fining sugar. The Argus, always usefully suggestive, points out that paperrnills might be established with advantage, as we now export a good deal of linen rag. This suggestion of the Argus, whether sound in this particular instance or not, shows the bent of the public mind. Yet, in the face of this silent revolution in the channels of trade, the imports of this year are about £350,000 in excess of last year up to the same time, while our exports have fallen off about £120,000. There has been another great inter-colonill cricket match between the players of Victoria and New South Wales, 'hich ended in favour of Victoria. Cricket, within the fast few years, has become quite a passion in these colonies, and is played with admirable skill, especially by the " na tive born." The public excitement on the late occasion was very great. The Legislature could scarcely be kept together, the b,•nks closed at 1 o'clock, the lawyers forgot their briefs, the merchants abandoned their counting-house to swell the 10,000 spectators of the grand match; and, to say the truth, Ido not envy the man who could not enjoy the scene. I doubt whether better playing was ever exhibited at Lord's, and there is some chance of testing this, for an enterpris ing body of restauratemv, who carry an that useful trade gigantically, have proposed to import an All England eleven at their own charges—takin g it out, of course, in the creature comforts that the 10,00) daily spectators will consume. Honour to Edward Wilson! The charm inesinging birds, which he despatched by the Great Britain, have arrived safely, with few casualties. Out of the 42 thrushes and 51 leaks shipped, no less than 37 of the former and 48 of the latter have been successfully established in the Botanical Gardens. Of 12 pairs of pheasants only 7 cocks and 4 hens remain alive. They wore unexpected, as the Great Britain arrived 24 hours before Mr. Wilson's advices of their ship meat, LITERATURE. Urc's Dictionaryqf Arts, 1l1a)2 factures, ond Mines. Longman. This useful work has now reached its sixth num• ber, and great credit is due to Mr. Hunt for the attention he has bestowed on this new edition. The first article, on the Daguerreotype, commences thus : " A photographic process discovered by M. Daguerre, a celebrated French dioramic painter, published in July, 1839 ; the French Government having secured a pension for life of 6,000 francs on M. Daguerre, and of 4,000 francs on M. Isidore Niepee, the son of M. Nicephore Niepce, who had for some time been associated with 31. Daguerre in carrying forward the experiments which led to 31, Daguerre's discovery." Under the head of Electricity the reader will find full information relating to electric clocks, the electric light, and electric telegraphs. The last subject treated of in this number is fermentation, and when the edition is completed it will constitute a standard book of reference. CONFIRMATION OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRLYCE ALFRED. The confirmation of his Royal Highness Prince Alfred took place yesterday in the private chapel of Windsor Castle, his Royal Highness having been examined on the previous day by the Rev. W. L. Onslow, chaplain and naval in structor of her Majesty's ship Euryalus, in the presence of her Majesty the Queen, his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Hon. and Very Rev. the Dean of Windsor. The Archbishop of Canterbury, accompanied by the Bi shop of Oxford, Lord High Almoner ; the Dean of Wind sor, resident chaplain to the Queen ; the Rev. Lord W. Russell, chaplain to the Prince Consort ; the Rev. H. J. Ellison, vicar of Windsor; and the Rev. W. L. Onslow, chaplain and naval instructor of her Majesty's ship Eury alus, entered the chapel at twelve o'clock. His Grace and the Bishop of Oxford sat on either side of the communion table. The Ministers and other company invited to the cere mony were conducted to scats in the chapel. The service commenced with the following chorale, which was sung by the gentlemen and boys of St. George's Chapel : CHORALE. Oh, happy bond that seals my vows, To Him who claims our highest love I Let cheerful anthems fill his house, While to that sacred shrine I move. 'Tis done: the great engagement's done; I am my Lord's, and he is mine ; He drew me and I followed on, Glad to confess the voice divine. High Heaven, that heard the solemn vow, That vow renewed shall daily hear, Till in life's latest hour I bow, And bless in death a bond so dear. The Bishop of Oxford read the preface commencing "To :he end that confirmation." The Archbishop of Canterbury performed the remainder of the service, and at the close of the exhortation delivered by his Grace the following anthem was sung : ANTHEM. Psalm CX VI., verses 12, 14, 16 W. G. Cusins. "I will receive the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. " Behold, 0 Lord, how that I am thy servant ; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid ; thou hast broken my bonds in sunder. I will pay my vows unto the Lord, in the sight of all his people ; in the courts of the Lord's house, even in the midst of thee, 0 Jerusalem. Praise the Lord." Mr. W. G. Cusins, organist of her Majesty's private chapel, presided at the organ. At the conclusion of the ceremony the Queen and Prince Consort, with the Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of Cam bridge, the Royal family, the Duke and Princess Mary of Cambridge, and Prince Edward of Saxo Weimar, were con ducted from the chapel to the Green Drawing-rocra, where her Majesty received the congratulations of the company present. MR. WILSON'S FINANCIAL SCHEME. (From the Bombay Times.) The reader who is acquainted with the history of mone tary science during this century will hardly need to be told that the plan here outlined is a very close, not to say ser vile imitation of Ricarelo's "Plan for a National Bank," published in 1824. One great merit of Mr. Wilson's seems to be that he is a very safe man, following the broad high way which the great pioneers of modern economy have cut out for us. Gentlemen who had been calculating upon the setting free of the sash balances will, of course, be griev ously disappointed to find that not a note is to be issued that is not paid for in bullion. The subsequent investment of the funds in securities will be a delicate operation, requir ing much discretion and political knowledge in the Commissioners, the rendering of whom independent of the Indian Government is, of course, imperative. It would have been most unwise to follow the recommendations of the Saturday Review and others, who were desirous of seeing the balances liberated for the sake of reducing the annual amount of dividends. Such a course was too dan gerous to be permitted. If Government want money, it should be obliged to raise it in the legitimate way—by tax ing the people, by the issue of Exchequer bills, by funded loans, or by borrowing in any other way ; but in no case should it be allowed the power of creating money itself, nor of borrowing of those to whom that power is intrusted. The wretched system upon which the Indian accounts have hitherto been kept was well illustrated in the course of Mr. Wilson's speech in introducing the budget. On the faith of the estimates sent from this country, Sir Charles Wood assured the House of Commons, on the Ist of August last, that the deficiency of income as against the expenditure of the current year would be £10,250,000. Timidly was the intimation received in Cal. cutta than a new balance-sheet was published in the shape of a despatch to the Secretary of State, reducing the deficit from £10,250,000 to £6,499,981. Nothing was now heard on all hands but congratulations upon our improved pro spects, when, after six months of happy delusion, Mr. Wilson presents us with a third and final estimate, raising the deficit to £9,290,129, and explaining how the discrepancy has arisen. Stated in short, the balance-sheet of the year stands as follows : Estimated Indian Expenditure Estimated Hom© Charges 5,507,020 £47,277,028 Estimated Receipts £37,706,209 Estimated Railway Receipts 333,700 38,036,909 Deficit We are not responsible for the trifling discrepancy mani fest in these figures; the error lies in Mr. Wilson's state ments, or in the report thereof. But we wish to direct the- attention of our readers to the way in which the vast dis crepancy between the present balance-sheet and that of September last arises. It is accounted for then as follows : Omission of railway dividends, £1,164,000 less re ceipts, £330,700 Error in the estimated military expenditure of Bombay 600,000 Error in the estimated commissariat expenditure of Madras Error in the estimate of home charges Error in estimating what the new taxes would realise 775,000 Anything more discreditable than this schedule it were hardly possible to publish. And it is this system, whose failure in every department is thus manifest, that Sir Jas. Melville so warmly defended when replying to Sir Charles Trevelyaa's strictures thereon before the Committee of the Commons in 1853. Let the reader note the first item. It is really incredible, if we had not Mr. Wilson's word for the fact, that no account was taken in the estimates of Septem ber of the million of railway dividends payable during the year. We find Bombay figuring next in the schedule for a trifling error of £600,000, and then Madras for £300,000, and lastly the India-house for £640,000. 1t is time that a system so wretchedly loose wore exploded, and we shall look impatiently for the change that is promised from a system of carefully prepared estimates which no depart ment will be allowed to exceed. SOUTHAMPTON, April 5.—A very handsome now paddlewheel steamer, named .the Massilia, built for the Peninsular and Oriental Company by Sarunda, Brothers, of Blackwall, arrived here this morning in charge of Captain J. W. Purchase She left Gravesend yesterday at 845 a.m., passed the Nero at 11; the North Foreland, 12 45 M; the South Foreland, 2 5 ; Dungeness, 3 36 ; Beachy ead, 5 26 ; the Owers Light, 8 45 ; the Nab Light, 955 ; Calshot, 10 55 ; and anchored in the river at 11 10 p.m. for the night, corning into dock this morning. The voyage round from Gravesend was one of the fastest on record, the Massilia being only 14 hours 4 minut es un d er weigh ave raging during the run 14 knots p er h our. In steaming down the Thames from Gravesend she made 65 miles in five hours against the tide, a n d com i ng down Channel she ran 15 knot for three or four consecutive hours. She proved herself a fine stiff ship throughout the voyage, and promises to be on e o f th e f astest and of the company's mag nificent fleet. Her draught of water was 16 feet 3 inches forward, and 15 feet 8 inches aft. The following aro her principal dimensions :---Length between perpendiculars, 300 feet; extreme bread+h, 36 feet • d e pth amidships, 24 feet 6 inch es ; b u i lders ' tonnage,' 1,919 ; registered tonnage, 1,633. Her engines, which are built by Messrs. Penn and Son, are o f 400 nominal' horse power ; the cylin ders are 72 i nc h es diameter, with 7 feet stroke ; diameter of paddle-wheels, 26 feet. Accommodation is provided on board for 105 first and 36 second-class passengers. The Massilia goes out for an official trial trip on Saturday, and leaves for Alexandria on Thursday next, with the Bom bay and Australian mails. The screw steamer Behar, Cap tain J. C. Almond, went out for a trial to-day, and the results were very satisfactory. This vessel has been thoroughly repaired and refitted in every department, and her hull coated with Peacock and Buchan's patont compo sition for ships' bottoms. The Behar takes out the mails to the Peninsular ports on Saturday, on her return from which she will be sent out to the Indian station. The Hamburg American Company's screw steamer Borussia still remains in dock, some derangement of liar machinery having to be set right befor9 she leaves for New York. The Prussian storeship Elbe sailed fer Japan this morning, and the frigate Arcona is to follow on Saturday. The Royal Monmouthshire Militia has been ordered to assemble at Monmouth, on Monday, April 30, for 27 days' training. 1 11 E The Duke of Somerset, as First Lord of the Ad. miralty, held a levee yesterday at the Admiralty, al which the flowing officers were present :—Admi. ral J. Ayscough, Rear-Admiral Studdert, Rear Admiral Scott; Capts. D. Robertson, C. C. Forsyth G. Giffard, W. Woodley, W. H. Haswell, R. J. Ot way, G. A. Seymour, T. F. Birch, W. 11. Kitchen, and C. G. E. Patey ; Commanders E. H. Howard W. M. J. G. Pasco, J. Sanders, F. H. Smith, M. R. Pechell, William C. Chapman, and T. H. M. Martin ; Lieuts. W. Symon, J. B. Scott, and W. Scryingour ; and Deputy Inspector-General of Hos pitals M'Cormick. Rear-Admiral Sir B. W. Walker, Bart., K.C.8., Controller-General of the Navy, yesterday visited Woolwich dockyard, and, accompanied by the Commodore Superintendent and the heads of de partments, inspected the new screw steam schooner Ranger, completed for service and about to be commissioned for the west coast of Africa. The Vulture, G, paddle, Capt. G. Parker, was paid off yesterday, at Portsmouth. The Pigmy steamer sailed at 4 p.m., with that portion of the Vulture's crew belonging to Devonport, for that port. The Victoria, 121, screw, has been placed in No. 7 dock at Portsmouth. The paddle-yacht Osborne has been undocked from No. 8 dock. The Octavia, 50, sailing frigate, has been placed in No. 9 deck at Portsmouth, for lengthening and conversion to a screw. The crews of that portion of the Channel Fleet anchored at Spithead had leave granted them ashore in parts of watches, yesterday evening until 7 a.m. to-morrow. The whole of the vessels have suffered more or less, both in their hulls and machinery, from the effects of the late gales during their pas sage to and from Lisbon. Of the five ships at Spit head, the Edgar has proved the most efficient of the whole, as well as much the easiest craft in a seaway. Next to her ranks the Mersey, the Mars taking next place, with the Algiers and Queen last. The two last named vessels rolled very heavily; the Queen to such an extent as to unship the shot from their racks on the main deck, and send them flying about, injuring 15 of her crew before they were stowed down in her after-hold. She has a heavy sick list besides. Her funnel casing is torn, waste steam-pipe carried away, and her machinery re quires a thorough overhaul—the effects of her roll ing and working. She made a good deal of water, as may be supposed, during the worst part of the last gale. The Algiers also made water during the gale, and her stern is supposed to be defective. The Mersey's steam•pipe is defective, from its great length exposed to the working of the ship ; but, most important of all, her condensers are cracked. They will all require considerable repairs before they can again proceed to sea. All the officers of the squadron agree in awarding the superiority on every point at sea—speed under canvass, and easy motion in heavy seas especially-- to ships of the Edgar and Donegal class, over those of the Algiers and Queen's. The Bacchante, 51, screw, is expected to hoist ,he pendant about the 12th inst. She is to have two of Armstrong's guns included in her armament, Commander Jo ling, of her Majesty's ship Queen, has had the honour to become her future commander. The screw st.-frigate Diadem, 32, Capt. H. Cock burn, left Plymouth Sound on Wednesday under canvass for the westward with sealed orders. She was detained a short time to receive her new com mander. Her Majesty's new steam gun vessel Landrail was yesterday hauled into the fitting basin at Woolwich, preparatory to being docked and got ready for sea. The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert arrived at Portland a little before noon on Wednesday, from Portsmouth, having accomplished the distance in three hours. After a few hours' detention she pro ceeded on her cruise to the westward. The screw steamship Conqueror, 101, Captain Sotheby, C. 8., was placed in Kevham Basin on Wednesday, and subsequently taken into No. 3 dock, to have her leaks stopped. The paddle-wheel steam vessel Bann, Master James S. Wells, employed on the coast of Cornwall, arrived at Plymouth on Wednesday, and went intu Barn pool. The Powerful, 84, line-of-battle sailing ship, has been docked at Chathain, where she will be length ened and converted into a screw steamer. The Arethusa, 50, sailing frigate, has been brought up to Chatham dockyard, preparatory to being taken into dock to undergo the necessary alterations to adapt her for a 51-gun screw frigate. The Torch, 5, screw gun-vessel, having been corn• pleted at Chatham dockyard, has been undocked, and is preparing for her trial trip to test her machi nery, after which she will join the steam reserve. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander A. H. Hoskins, to the Wrangler, commissioned ; Peter Wood, chief engineer, to the Asia, for charge of machinery of the Sutlej ; Edward J. Burnley, chief engineer, to the Cornwallis; Thomas L. Walker, chief engineer, to the Asia, for charge of the machinery of the Fre derick William ; and Charles Wright, chief en gineer, to the Fisgard, for charge of the machinery of the Devastation. THE ARMY. According to present arrangements, the A troop of the Royal Engineer Train, under the command of Capt. R. W. Duff, ft.E., with the whole of their field equipment and stores, will vacate their win ter quarters at Brompton-barracks, Chatham, on the 16th inst., and proceed to the camp at Aldershott, where they will stationed during the summer. The quarters at Brompton-barracks now occupied by the Royal Engineer Train will be taken possession of by the detachment of Royal Engineers, which now numbers 500 men. A court-martial has been held at Chatham Gar rison on a driver of the Royal Engineer Train, named George Hamilton, a man of exceedingly bad character, for desertion. The prisoner deserted un der very aggravated circumstances, and disposed of the whole of his kit for a trifling amount. On a pre vious occasion he was tried for desertion, and was then sentenced to a long term of imprisonment, and to be marked with the letter" D." The proceedings and finding of the Court were yesterday read out to the officers and men on parade, the prisoner being sen tenced to be again marked with the letter D, to be imprisoned for 168 days, and to be placed under stoppages until the value of his kit is made good. He will undergo his term of imprisonment in Fort Clarence, Rochester. Mr. Barrans's patent improved steam traction en gine, manufactured byMessrs.

BONAPARTIST INTRIGUES IN GERMANY.—For several years past the Goveinment of Louis Napoleon have kept a number of literary agents, or censors, at Lcipzic, Frankfort, and Munich, whose duty it was to note down everything injurious to Napoleonic interests which occur red in the p ress or i n any new b oo k or pamphlet edited in Germany.

GUTHRIE AND TILE SLAVE TRADE An American paper, the Presbyterian, which pro fesses to be a religious journal of the highest ortho doxy, has attacked Dr. Guthrie's speech delivered lately at the meeting in Edinburgh, sympathising with Dr. Cheerer. The rev. doctor has written an .indignant rejoinder, in which he stigmatises many of the charges in the Presbyterian as " untrue and contemptible." He proceeds to rebut some of the statements which he is accused of making : " You state that I spoke of the American eagle as polluted with blood.' Now, that may or may not be the case ; but I never used these words, nor said, indeed, a word, good or bad, about your eagle. You state also that I wished the next negro insurrection to succeed,' though they might have to fight to the knees in the blood of the white man.' How can I deny that ? for in your article are not the offensive words, fight to the knees in the blood of the white man' set within inverted commas, the usual sign of a quotation and the pledge of accuracy ? Alas for the credit of inverted commas and certain religious newspapers ! There is not a word of truth in your statement. The wronged and down-trodden negro may or may not be justified in doing for his personal what your own fathers did for their national liberty ; though a man, he is black, and notwithstanding that an old-fashioned book called the Bible, says that God made of one blood all the families of the earth, he may no more have rights than the cow he is sold with; yet I never used the words, nor spoke of blood, either on black men's knees or on American eagles. You say I was bloodthirsty.' A horrid charge to bring against any minister of the Gospel. If you mean, by apply ing this abusive language to me, that I delight in the shedding of human blood, or would have recourse to arms rather than suffer any wrong, I deny your charge, and appeal for my veracity to those who know me, and know how I abhor the cruelties in separable from war. Perhaps you mean something else. Perhaps you mean that I would regard the slaves, if they had a fair prospect of success, as jus tified in rising to recover their freedom, and as a last resource, meeting arms with arms in the battle for liberty. If so, I plead guilty to the charge; guilty, I must add, as were our Wallace and your Wash ington. Washington and his compatriots thought not liberty only, but independence even worth fight ing for. In the days of the struggle which you yearly commemorate ministers preached up resistance ; pulpits, as well as drums, sounded to arms. You laud the men who did the fight, and were ready to b x lo t o h d em of s t e h lv e e zh a it u e d m h a a n ve ,' fi m g e l r i s t l t y o fo t r he th k e ne r e ig s h in t s y t ou t he bare the a ss i uLa s n o c f e p t o o o hr Africans,o d your gr hands un d t o in th he odrurso doingdoin the same to save themselves, their wives, their t t o he ta r children, from bleeding under the brutal lash, and being sold like cattle to the highest bidder ? Though a violent termination to slavery is not one that any reflecting and right-thinking man would wish, the system, as one of cruelty, of immorality, of robbery, and of murder, is accursed both of God and man. It is the plague•spot of your state ; the plague-spot of your churches ; and should its end, which God for bid, be one of violence, on the heads of those who are not straining every nerve to bring it to a speedy and bloodless termination, will lie the guilt of all the fearful crimes that shall amom pang its dying struggles. V and the slaves are fighting for l theirlen h rights,escome, and y our disasters may recall the fearful words of Jefferson, What attribute of Jehovah wou l d allow him to take part with us ?'

UNI oRTUNATE . LE VVE-TAKERS.—On Thursday last, over 400 emigrants took their departure from this country for America by the mail steamer; which left Queenstow n f or N ew Y or k an d Portland. While the steamers were in the harbour a considerable number of country people, friends of the emigrants , accom p ani e d them on board, to bid farewell, i nten di n g to return either by boat or by one of the steam tenders, which they sup posed would remain alongside. To their dismay, however, the mails being placed on board, the steamers got under weigh, being bound under heavy penalties to be on the route by a given time, and before any means could be pro cured to send the parties ashore the steamers were en route' to America, having 26 of them on board. Several of those. unlucky individuals, who have now a journey of some 5,000 miles before them to America and back, had actually left their carts and some of the members of their families behind them in Queenstown, and the inconvenience and alarm occasioned by the unwelcome trip to which they hay. been treated may be easily imagined.—COrk Constitution.
