FATHER IGNATIUS AT BT. MAPPLE STRAND. On Wednesday evening, the first-time tor many montns, the Rev. J. L. Lyne, known as " Father - Ignatius," preached in a London church. Last year, it will be remem bered, he preached on Friday mornings at the church of St. Edmund-the-King, Lombard-street, when he contrived to offend the merchants and traders of that district to such an extent that serious riots occurred. Dr. Tait, the Bishop of London, issued an inhibition ag,aidst his preaching any more in that church; but the right rev. pre late, on being advanced to the archiepiscopate, gracefully took off the inhibition, leaving Mr. Lyne to his successor in the bishopric. Mr. Lyne has not, however, availel him self of the freedom given to him, but has contented him self with lecturing occasionally at the Music Hall in Store street. Vast crowds assembled to hear him on Wednesday night, and the large yard in front of the church was filled with people, who vainly strove to obtain admission into the church, which was densely crowded. Prayers were read by the Rev. R. Gwynn°, and the lessons read by the Rev. H. T. Howes, curate of St. Alban's Holborn. Father Ignatius wore a plain surplice with the hood of Trinity College, Glenalmond, but no stole, as be is not yet in priest's orders. He selected for his text the 28th chapter of St. Mathew's Gospel, verse 20— " Lo, I am with you alwav, even unto the end of the world." Assoon as he hadgiven out his text, there was a loud shout of "No Popery' 'from the outside, accompanied by whistling, cat calls, and derisive laughter. This for a moment appeared to disconcert the preacher, hut finding there were no dis turbers, he at once proceeded to speak of the present dis tracted state of the Christian Church. The offertory collection was given to the Association for Promoting the Union of Christendom. There was a good deal of noise amongst the people who had assembled outside the church, but nothing approaching to a riot. ALLEGED FORGERY. A man of gentlemanly appearance was brought before the magistrates at Lancaster, charged with forging and uttering a promissory note for £1,500, with intent to defraud Messre.W.Hennings and G. M. Simpson, financial agents and bill discounters, of 45, Jermyn-street, London. The prisoner is said to come from Seaforth,nearLiverpool, and the gentleman whose name he is charged with forging is Lieutenant Thomas Arthur Cooke, of the 17th Lancers. Mr. G. M. Simpson, one of the prosecutors, said hereceived a letter from the prisoner, dated the 20th of August, from the Royal and Victoria hotel, Waterloo, asking to know their terms for "lending £l,OOO on note of hand." The letter then said, "kl,OOO clear I want, as I am going to be married shortly. I will give £250. I have no bills out in the world, and my private debts are under £lOO. lam staying here shooting for a few days, being near a small moor I have. So please address as above. . . Thomas A. Cook, 17th Lancers. At Christmas I get my company." Messrs. Hennings replied to the above letter, and requested prisoner to come up to London, but received a letter in reply, dated August 23, from the same hotel, in which prisoner said, "Your letter reached me yesterday, but I sprained my ancle on Saturday, and am at present a prisoner, and, besides, I have numerous engagements in the north and Scotland until my marriage next month. I send a good substi tute—my likeness—which will be easily recognised at either of my clubs, the `Naval and Military' and the ' Wyndham.' My position, lieutenant in 17th Lancers, at top of the list. Ido no not owe £l9O in the world, but I have lived up to my income, and it will cost me £l,OOO to get married. My income consists of money derived from property left me by my father in Southport and elsephere, and produces me an annual in come of X 3,000." The letter concludes by a statement that the writer's " betrothed wife will have a handsome jointure of her own," and a request that the necessary documents might be forwarded to be signed. Further correspondence ensued, the prisoner ultimately re moving to Lancaster, and dating a telegram from " The Vicarage, Sept. 1;" and the result of the negotiations was that a promissory note for £1,500 was forwarded to the prisoner, by which lie was to receive £1,187, and to pay interest at the rate of ls. per £1 per calendar month. This was returned by prisouer,,signed, Thomas A. Cooke, 17th Lancers." Mr. Simpson's suspicions were aroused, and on proceeding to Liverpool, and afterwards to Lancaster, he found no such person. there as Lieutenant Cooke, of the 17th Lancers. The: police were communicated with, and the prisoner was apprehended at Lancaster Post-office, where he had gone to receive a letter directed to be addressed to him there. The above facts were detailed in evidence. The prisoner was remanded for a week, bail being refused. LAW AND POLICE. THE VACCINATION ACT.—At the Middlesex Sessions, on Wednesday, a chemist, named Millar, was indicted under the Vaccination Act for wilfully signiog a false certificate. A man was summoned by the guardians of the Poplar Union for neglecting to Lave his child vaccinated, and the defendant gave the man's wife a cer tificate that the child was not in a fit state for vaccina tion, signing it in the name of Mr. Fowles, a surgeon whose practice defendant had sometimes taken. The cer• tificate was antedated. As Mr. Powles could not swear that he had not authorised the defendant to sign the cer tificate for him, the jury returned a verdict of "Not Guilty," Mr. Serjeant Cox observing that it was a very proper prosecution. SHAM COMMISSIONAIRES.—At the Marlborough-street Police-court a person named Framley was summoned for assuming the standing and uniform of a com missionaire. The magistrate said the case was a difficult one. He had sent for a regular com missioniare, and put him side by side with the defendant. Each man had lost au arm ; each man had three medals ; each man had a belt and a pouch ; but a one-armed man must have some such contrivance. Each man wore a military coat, but the colour of the coats was different. Ile thought anyone well acquainted with London streets would at once know that the defendant was not a com missionaire, but a person not so acquainted might be misled. He doubted whether it was the intention of the Legislature to exclude any person not a commissionaire from standing to be hired for errands in the public streets. He would adjourn his decision for a few weeks to consult nersons now out of town. ATTEMPTED MI:RDEII. A mysterious case of attempted murder was on Wednealay investigated in the Southwark Police-court. A man, named Harris, heard that a neighbour of his, Henry Tucker, had threatened to •` do for him." Ile called on him to ask what he meant, when Tucker opened the door with a knife in his hand, and stabbed him in the head. The prisoner said that there had been a fight in the street, and stones were thrown at him by the prose cutor and others. He took up the knife in self-defence when he came to his door. He was committed for trial: The latest name for matrimony is " committing twoicide." We are authorised to state, says the Guardian, that tho Bishop of Bath and Wells has sent in his resigna tion to the Archbishop of Canterbury. In Johnson's Dictionary there is a curious error *filch (says the compiler of " Johnsoniana") has not yet been noticed. It occurs in the definition of the verb "To sit," and pervades every edition hitherto, even that of Todd. " Asses are ye that sit in judgment." (Judges, v. 10.) The verse in the Bible, of course, runs, " Speak, ye that sit on white asses, ye that sit in judgment." Were not Dr. Johnson's reverence for the Scriptures too well known to allow of the supposition that he would wilfully have turned any part of them into a jest, we might suppose that he intended here to express by anticipa tion the low estimate which he formed of contemporary critics. Maclin was once lecturing upon literature and the stage, and in discussing the education of memory, boasted that he could repeat any formula of words after once hearing it. Foote was in the audience, and at once wrote and sent to the stand that rigmarohe that has since grown so famous So she went into the garden to cut a cabbage.leaf to make an apple-pie; at the same time a great she-bear, coming up the street, pops its head into the shop. What !no soap So he died, and she very prudently married the barber ; and there were present the Piciniuies, the Joblillies, and the Gayrulies, and the Grand Panjandrum himself, with the little round button at the top ; and they ell _ f all _ t o playing the game of catch-as catch-can till the gunpowder ran out of the heels of their bouts." Macklin failed and so has everybody else that ever tried to repeat it. SOMETHING LIKE A POG.—A country paper gives the following from an anonymous correspondent : " I had a dog, sir, that I think beat all the dogs I ever heard of. I trained that clog to sit up at meals, drink wine, use a knife and fork, and tell the hour by the clack. Among other things, I taught him to go to the post office, three miles off, and bring me my paper and letters every morning. He would bring them regularly every morning, and leave the different ones at the doors of the different owners ; and I never knew him make a mistake in the directions, not even when we had visitors at the house, whose names be never cou:d have seen before. One day, sir, be brought the letters but no papers ; I sent him back, but he returned again w;t11 no paper.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. GARIBALDI. Garibaldi has, it is said, been induced by his friends to remain at C'aprera, and to abandon hisproject of agitating for the rvirn se of his friends, Mosto and Canzio. He has, however, Litt= to a working man's association, accom panying his letter with the gift of a seventeen-barrelled revolver, which he hopes they will use for the regeneration of Italy. THE ITALIAN CABINIT. A telegram from Florence declares that in all probabi lity the Ministerial crisis is over, and that a reconciliation has been brought about by the fear of producing a serious effect on public credit. The news of the panic on the Bourse in Paris, and the dismay which the intelligence caused in Florence, might well contribute to the adjust• ment of differences. The points in dispute have been left for the decision of the Chamber at its approaching sitting. THE COMMERCIAL PANIC IN AUSTRIA., The Eastern Budget states that money is exceedingly tight on the Vienna Exchange, owing to heavy payments and rash speculation. A great fall has been experienced in those shares which have been driven to a high artificial premium. Government funds and other solid securities have as yet been little affected. The panic continues. AN AUSTRALIAN COURT. The Australian papers tell us of a singular case in which one of the - oldest and most respectable of the Sydney papers, the Sydney Morning Herald, was engaged. The captain of the ship Young Australian, was tried and con victed in May last for the manslaughter of three Polynesian natives, whom be was conveying, among others, to the Fiji Islands. A quarrel arose on board, and the captain allowed some of the natives who bad muskets to fire down the hold, by which three men were killed. He was sentenced to seven years' penal servitude, but some points were reserved for the consideration of the full bench. The Herald, commented on the case, and inserted a letter on 'he sub ject from the Rev. Dr. Steel, a Presbyterian minister. For this the proprietors of the herald and Dr. Steel were charged with contempt of court, and finad 2100 by way of warning to the proprietors and publishers of other news papers, the judge's dictum being that until the criminal is fully disposed of the press should not comment on the case. Public feeling in Sydney is strongly opposed to this decision. A NEW COLD YIELD. It is believed that a new gold•ficld of great extent hr.' been discovered south of Bathurst. Seven miles of country embracing three reefs between vertical strata of slate ars taken up by the explorers. It is noticeable that the first company which has come forward in tho matter is a Melbourne one, with capital subscribed in that city. This confirms the saying that New South Wales is richer in gold but poorer in enterprise than. Victoria. FENTANISM IN AUSTEALIA. A difficulty has arisen in Vie:or:a respecting Mr. Kenealy nne of the pardoned Venians. Mr. Kenealy, when he ..;,,Ived the royal pardon, was in Western Aus tralia, and removed to Melbourne, being followed by some thirty or forty of his associates. It was supposed they intended to make Victoria their place of residence, and the colonists were by no means gratified. By the laws of Victoria any person convicted of felony can be forbidden to reside in the colony, and forced to depart; but the difficulty of the situation is that the royal pardon is supposed to override all disabilities. The colonial law, of course, originated in the reckless manner in which convicts were formerly released by the Home Government, and the colonists, it is said, feel so strongly on the subject that they are un willing to sanction its evasion by any felon, even though his crime should have been a political one. The Australians too have a strong dislike to Fenianism, of which they have bad some unfavourable samples, and they lave no wish to permit such an element of social and political disturbance to exist in their midst. Under these circumstances it setms likely that the Colonial Govern. ment will be called upon to enforce the law of 1854 against Mr. Kenealy and his assciates, but what action the Home authorities will take in the matter is as yet uncertain. TIIE ELECTION COMMISSIONS. The commissioners at Bridgwater were told of/ Tuesday that the Liberals arranged, at the last elec tion, for a sum of £3,000 to be used in bribery, to come in equal proportions from the " friends " of Mr. Kinglalie and those of Mr. Vanderbyl. Nothing was to be spent, however, unless the Conservatives began to bribe. It is not clear that the latter condi tion was kept ; for on Bussell—whose evidence was' among the first and most important taken—applying for ££l2o, it was supplied without demur. At Beverley a pasture master confessed to dealings with a " mysterious stranger" at the election of 1857. Two hundred pounds were handed to the witness to " distribute as best he could." The money 'was used on behalf of Sir henry Edwards. in 1860, a Loy the son of Mr. Walker, the COneervative candidate, brought the same gentleman ;Cat) to distribute. THE EAT CIEL. , 112111: ELECTION. Sir Edward William Waticin Las, as was antici- pated, come forward as a candidate fur Est Cheshire. In his address he calls himself an " earnest Liberal; and in proof cites his support of an extended fran chise, the voter's independence, economy, the aboli- tion of Church rtes, and the discstablisliinent of the Irish Church. Sir Edward promises in future to use efforts to obtain a reform of the Irish land law.;, the ballot, universal education, the establishment of a Minister for Agriculture, the maintenance of free trade and an inquiry into the working of international trea ties. In a long paragraph about the cattle plague, he declares Lis opinion that means ought to be taken by the Government for preventing its continuoi reintro duction, and that a clause should be kept standing by which a rate might be levied in aid of farmers suf fering from loss. TEE STATE CHURCH. Mr. Watkin Williams, M.P. for the Denbigh dis trict, was not content with the disestablishment of the Irish Church last session ; he wanted to get 3 declaration of the opinion of the house of Conunons on the position of the Welsh Church also. But he failed; advanced men generally kept silence, the discussion which Mr. Williams commenced fell to the ground, and that gentleman has been called to account for raising the question. He replies by an expression of his opinion rather than by an argument against State churches generally. Ile believes that religion would be purer without State interference, and on that ground would abolish all Establishments. Going further, the member for Denbigh lays down that it is wrong for Governments to interfere between men's consciences and God ; the endowment of a Church which has not a hold on the affections of " thi people " is, therefore, a scandalous wrong both to reli• gion and the nation. The Establishment in Wales has no such hold ; it should be disestablished. It is not Wales merely in which this reforin is to be carries] out, however. Scotland and England, Mr. Williams thinks, will soon find themselves a g itated by propo sals for the cessation of their State Churches. THE SVE OF WINCHESTER. It is understood that the Bishop of Wincliesta will resign about the 14th of October, and that the Bishop of Oxford will be translated to the vacancy immediately afterwards. After the resignation of the present occupant, the see of Winchester will ba worth £10,500 per annum, fixed by Act of Par liament. RECONSTRUCTION OF THE IRISII CHURCH. The Tines correspondent notes that the commu tation of the clergy's annuities is receiving much attention from the members of the Irish Church. It is clearly understood that the chief advantage o! commutation will consist in the stimulus which it is expected to give to the laity in subscribing to th• endowment fund. But it is also recognised that before the clergy can be expected to commute, the laity must come forward with liberal subscriptions. Mr. Valentine, of Belfast, enumerates several of the sources from which f un d s may b e ac quired, including income from pew-rents ; life insurances by those having fixed incomes, and who might not find it convenient to contribute largely in a bulk sum ; voluntary con tributions from the clergy. contributions from the laity, and periodical collections in the churches. From these sources he calculates that a capital sum may be raised which, added to an esti▪ mated surplus of £1,210,000 from commutation and £BOl,OOO, the amount, with interest, of the surplus arising out of the arrangements as to private endowments, will produce a capital sum of nearly six mi▪ llions, CARDINAL CULLEN AND THE ORANGEMEN. Mr. Johnstone, M.P., has met Cardinal Cullen's manifesto on education by a vigorous speech in Antrim. Religious equality, he declared, had not brought about that content which was expected. Far from being satisfied with the disestablishment of the Irish Church, Cardinal Cullen and his followers had now opened a campaign in favour of educational ascendancy. " An attemptwas being madeto put down the anniversaries at Derry. It had been sworn that 5,000 lonian Catholics were organised and armed to suppress them ; but the Orangemen would stand by the men of Perry, end if necessary ever y O range i r ,d ge -would becoma a rifle club, :Ind man in the old style the walls of that glorious Protestant city once m - ore." Mr. .lolit . istone war ns t h e P rotestants to beware or the Jt.:-incs now sowing dissensio,. between them and the Protestants of England. Their object is to profit by a conflict between the brethren of England and Ireland. TEE LAND QUEsTON., Mr. Johnstone may, if lie choesez, occu py himself with something - more profitable than his natural, but bootless, indignation at the manifesto of the Roman Catholic prelate. Sir John Gray has addressed a letter to the member for Belfast, urging him, as the leader of the Orangemen, THE SUN, LONDON, TH tIRSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 9, 1869._ -to pm trio agitation tor a lana tenure settle ment. Though these two members of Parlia ment sit on opposite benches, and mostly vote in different lobbies, both, says Sir John, are equally anxious to promote the interests of the Irish tenantry. The question is not a party one ; the reform is needed for the benefit of Irishmen of all ranks and parties. Even in Ulster the necessity for legal pro tection is becoming more and more clear. That province has long enjoyed exceptional prosperity through the custom of tenant-right ; but this custom is not full security. It is being gradually under mined through the want of legislation " The official reports printed and published by Paths, ment estimate the tenant-right property of the Ulster farmers, which, though recognised by all good and just landlords, is unprotected by law, at £20,000,000. Few men are found so hazardous or reckless as to yenturs in Ulster to abrogate the tenant-right custom on their estates. The process is to abiorb its value, not to assail its existence, and, by a capricious increase of rent, gra dually to melt these £20,000,000 into the great feudal cauldron, and, thus render the fixed tenure, secured by custom, fixed penury, not, as now, assured comfort, and honourable though frugal independence." Sir John Gray says that the Southern tenantry will make a great effort to extend this Ulster tenant right to the whule island, with a legal guarantee. By this change the Ulster farmers will profit, for though they have the tenant right, it is merely sup ported by custom, not by law. Mr. Johnstone, the knight thinks, has it in his power to contribute infinitely towards this good end. The second report, 1860-66, prepared by Dr. 'W . Aeilson Hancock, on the history of the landlord and tenant question in Ireland, contains several sug gestions of importance. Having set out the prin ciples of the statutes on the subject passed in 1800, and glanced at the machinery provided for the opera tion of those principles, the writer proposes a variety of changes. First, as to the landlord's improve ments. A proprietor seeking to improve with his own money or with his own credit should be at liberty, if the next heir did not object, to adopt a proceeding to be framed in accordance with the precedent afforded by the Montgomery Act, which worked successfully for eighty years in Scotland. In the case of a pro prietor seeking to borrow money, improvements might be executed as under the Board of Works' acts, and charged against successors in estate. Passing from the improvements of landlords to those of tenants, Br. Hancock suggests that it is a defect in the Act- to require the intervention of the Irish county court to sanction an improvement, and to require a minute detail of the expenditure to be lodged in court. Compensation, he further urges, ,should always be adequate and in money, and U. express assent of the landlord to every single act of improvement should not be enforced. arrest, but that he had incurred the crispiesStire of his superior officer by the vigilance with which he had discharged his duty; and he was dragged off to the lock-up, with extreme brutality, in order to sup port a fabricated charge of intoxication. This strange statement was supported by three independent wit nesses, not iu the force. The case was adjourned. Whichever party may be in the right, these frequent case of false swearing on the part of policemen are extremely unpleasant. Lying must be expected in certain members of every calling; but the vice is particularly obnoxious when it is accompanied by such power as it entrusted to the guardians of the nem. a prominent citizen of Ogdensburg,logether with $9,000 of the money of his neighbours, also $ll,OOO from the Prescott Bank, which is in Canada, on the other side the St. Lawrence, was picked up at the Belmont Hotel, in Fulton-street, a few days ago. The above is what he took ; but what he left was a wife and two children. He went to Vera Cruz, where he got what he did not bargain for, the yellow fever, and, as things did not progress favourably there, he returned to New York, and lived here under the name of Clark, when he was met by a merchant of Ogdensburg, which led to his arrest and return to that town. We have two coloured State Senators! from Louisiana, Pinchbeck and Anthony, and last Sunday they addressed the congregation of Zion's Church. They are stopping with Mr. Bell, No. 5-13, Broome-street. But the lions of the week have been the Chinamen, Sing-Man, and Choy- Chew. Everything which lions get they got; they were photographed, reported, visited, cheered, hand shaken, dined, wined, and balled, till they happily got away alive on the sly, by the 5.30 a.m. Eric train on Tuesday for San Francisco, to stop two days at Chicago. No one knew when they were going, and the celestial countenances, which had beamed in so rare a manner on New York, suddenly dis appeared. Gen. John A. Rawlins passed through New York on Wednesday. The tailors' strike has ended, six firms being excluded from the list of shops open to the men who claim the victory, as at least they have succeeded in obtaining an increase of wages. About 200 of them are still idle, while the six shops that held out are filling up with men by degrees. The steamer San Jacinto, beached at Body's Island on the 9th inst., got off on Tuesday and was towed to Norfolk ; the wreckers sent down from this city were I believe found very use ful, and to their operations is due a result so satis factory. WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. Washington has to bear the threatened removal of the:capital, now being agitated at St. Louis, with a sort of dreary conviction that the seat of Government has been already removed. There are Government buildings, but nothing else to mark the seat of the national capital. Grass grows in our silent and deserted streets, which have ceased to echo to the tread of a Representative. Our Exe cutive halls are empty. Secretary Fish is at his country seat on the Hudson, Secretaries Bout well and Hoar are in Massachusetts, Secretary Cox is in Ohio, Secretary Creswell is at home in Elkton, and Secretary Robeson is in New York. Secretary Rawlins, who was the last Minister to leave, is now with his family at Danbury, Connecticut. That gentleman denies a report here spread that the President had tendered to General G. M. Dodge the Secretaryship of War, as General R,tw lins reports himself in much bitter health than since the close of the war, and therefore does not intend to resign. General Dodge is Chief Engi neer of the Union Pacific Railroad, and is now, I believe, at Boston to attend a meeting of its direc tors. The S:cretaries of the Mexican Claims Com mission still sit, but get on slowly. Judge Swayne adjourned the Houston and Galveston Railroad case on Monday, on the understanding that ar rangements had been effected maintaining the in terests of both parties till the question—who owns the road between Galveston and Houston—could be settled by the Supreme Court. A decree for its sale was made by Judge Watrons. Those who purchased it under execution resist the mortgagees, who desire to foreclose, and this is the question to be decided. Edmund Burke, of New Hampshire, former editor of the Washington Union, and once Commissioner of Patents during the Presidency of Mr. Polk, will, it is rumoured, resuscitate the National Intelligencer, bringing out the first num , her with the opening of Congress. Mr. Caleb Cushing, Judge Johnson, and Judge Jones have issued their revised statutes relating to patents and copyrights, as they were appointed to do. Commis sioner Delano's new whisky regulations, giving effect to the law of April 10, will soon be ready for distribution. The reports he receives from all parts of the country show a result even more gra tifying than expected as to the collection of the In ternal Revenue. CONSTANTINOPE, Aug. 9, 18G9. Ste,—My attention has just been called to a rti sum6 of a letter written by me to the New York Nation, in the Anglo-American of the 17th of July ult. The opinions and advice of the editor therein introduced may be quite correct where they are applicable, but in my case what I par ticularly complain of is that though I always acted uud,:r superior instructions and in the most perfect accord with my " superiors," and though Mr. Seward wrote me at one of the most important crises of the insurrection, " your conduct and proposed reply to the Turkish Government are perfectly approved," though Congress openly de clared its sympathy with the Cretans, and Mr. Seward instructed Mr. Morris to use his influence in behalf of " the brave and suffering Cretans," and though almost the entire press and public of Ame rica supported me heartily, and the President re fused to recall me at the request of Blaque Bey, and no specific charge was made or could be made against me, the Department of State allowed me to be bullied, insulted, and maltreated without making any effort to protect me or to compensate me for the loss I suffered in obeying my instructions. I have the written approbation of my superiors for everything I ever did in Crete. If I symplthized with the Christians, I only feebly responded to the Congressional resolutions, and some of the most prominent of the Turkish functionaries have since admitted that if they had received my suggestions differently the Cretan affair might have had a dif. ferent colour.—Yours truly, W. J. STILLMAN, Late United States Consul, Crete. [We regret if any remark of ours has given pain to Mr. Stillman, nothing being further from our intention. We took his own account, and drew the conclusions to which we believed his narrative pointed, while feeling the full force of his tragic story. As our conclusions were wrong, though de rived from Mr Stillman's own letter, we have plea sure in publishing the fact as shown by himself ; and as the light in which his letter was seen by us, is that in which it may have been seen by others, it is perhaps as well to have extracted from him this supplement to his story.—En. A.A.T.] We have received the following communication from Messrs. Fisk and llatch, the well-known New York bankers : New York, 5, Nassau-street, Aug. 10. Dear Sir,—The Pacific Railroad, so long the theme of conjecture, is a fact accomplished. Pas sengers, mails, and freight pass between New York and San Francisco with the same regularity, celerity, and convenience as between Boston and Washing ton ; the Pacific coast has been effectually brought within the national railroad system. Considering the extent of the undertaking, the nature of the country to be traversed, the vast distances whence labour, supplies, and materials were drawn, toge ther with the rapidity of its construction, it stands unrivalled among peaceful enterprises. Had fif teen 'years been occupied in the work, instead of five years, its completion would have been hailed as one of the grandest events in our national progress. The rumours which for awhile prevailed of the faulty character of portions of the work have been dissipated since the opening of the through line has afforded opportunity to thousands of examining it. Although barely three months have elapsed since the testimony is almost universal to the opening, the excellence of the road and to the energy of the it to the highest s t a t e o f com p a nies in bringing perfection in the shortest possible time. Railroads grow to perfection, and it may be safely asserted that the past affords no parallel to the rapidity of completion of either track, structures, or equipment i of the main line of the Pacific Railroad. Especially is this true of that portion lying west of Salt Lake, owned and built by the Central Pacific Rail road Company ; which stands to-day as solid, fiui-thed, and well-furnished as many of the oldest and most prominent lines in the country. in the words of the Government Commissioners, who but recently inspected the whole line, " we are . satisfied that all has been done in good faith." I This splendid monument of the genius, skill, and energy of the Central Pacific Railroad Company is due in part, at least, to the efforts of those who aided us in securing the means, without which the enterprise must have halted. It is with peculiar pride therefore, at this time, that we point to our oft-expressed expectations, which must have seemed sanguine, and to the glorious consummation of the work, as our vindication. From the beginning we have had faith in the sagacity, vigour, and integ rity of the company's operations ; and we have the. same faith in their wisdom and success in main taining and operating their great road as they have shown in its construction. IYe are gratified to be able to present conclusive evidence of the renaun e rative returns of the enterprise as a business invest ment, independently of the important national bene fits and prestige to be derived from it. The business of the Central Pacific between Sacramento and Pro montory Point, between which place it has been ope rated for the three moc the since the opening on May 10, are (approximately) as follows, mainly in gCld Gross earnings, $1,703,350 ; operating expenses, $920,341 ; net earnings, $783,009 ; or a revenue of over seven millions per annum, of which three millions are net profit, available for interest pay ments. The aggregate of the annual interest pay ments the past year was $994,010.00, and it is not probable they will be increased materially. These figures have been attained, of course, while the facilities of the company were at their newest and crudest stage, and at the same time a large amount of unproductive transportation was necessary. Both freight and passengers are increasing so rapidly that the company have made important reductions in the rates as fast as their facilities permitted them. They will adhere to the policy of encouraging the largest traffic consistent with the requirements of their obligations. The mineral deposits along the route of the road continue to attract attention and add to its local business ; while the low prices and easy terms offered to emigrants must tend to in creased settlement on the company's lands, which are of great value. We feel, indeed, that the busi ness of the Central-Pacific is in its infancy ; and that its development to unexampled proportions in a very short period will be a new cause of astonish ment.—Yours respectfully, FISK and HATCII. N.B.—We heartily recommend the Central Pa cific Railroad Bonds as a first-class investment ; and are filling orders for them at the market price, net, as received. With the absorption of the small lots floating here a marked advance in price will no doubt follow. We quote to-day :—The First Mort gage Bonds at 97 to 98 ; Convertible, 108 to 110 ; " State Aid," 112 to 114. THE ALBERT ASSURANCE COMPANY. Another meeting of Albert policy-holders was held in London on Tuesday. This assemblage gave its approval to a plan for winding up the old com pany and forming a new one. The Daily .News regrets the want of united action amongst the victims of this catastrophe. It is indeed extremely difficult to ensure co-operation amongst the members of such a scattered body • but it is absolutely essential to do so if the policy-holders are to have any control over their wrecked property. Up to this point all that the policy-holders have done is to come to an agreement on two points ; that the scheme of reconstruction proposed by the liquidators is bad, and that Mr. Kirby ought not to retain his present position. Of both these resolutions the Daily .11 - e11..e thoroughly approves ; but something more is needed. If the policy-holders desire to oust Mr. Kirby they must fix upon a successor. Further, they must nominate a central committee which will act promptly and unitedly, and which may prevent the litigation with which the victims are at presen l threatened. The principal features of the new scheme whici. was approved of at the London meeting are that a eompan ybe formed with capital of £lOO,OOO in 100,000 shares of each, to be credited as fully paid up, and issued as warrants to bearer, bearing 5 per cent. interest, payable half-yearly. The warrants are to be distributed amongst the policy-holders in propor tion to the present loss written off their debts or policies. Each policy is to be reduced to its present net value, and a policy in the new company to be issued for such reduced amount ; the amount of the new policy to be increased by the proportion of the assets of the Albert Company as they are received. Three trustees arc to be appointed, in whose name all the assets of the old company, and 771 per cent. of future premiums are to be invested in the best securities—mortgage or Government and railway stocks only being allowed. The present company is to be wound up voluntarily, under the supervision of the court. AMMUNITION IN THE ARMY. The Commander-in-Chief has taken a step to prevent wholesale soldier-shooting. A general order from the Horse Guards forbids the carrying of cartridges by soldiers not on duty. - Henceforward the service ammunition of the army is to be removed from the pouches and placed in regimental expense maga zines. Guards and escorts, or parties detached in aid of the civil power, will invariably have the requisite quan tity of ammunition served out to them before going on duty. This supply is to be collected after the duty has been performed, and returned into the magazine. General officers commanding districts May make exceptions to these rules; and at all times a resp n3:ble person is to have the key of the magazine, so th mt supplieS may be issued in cases of emergency. THE FACTORY ACTS. it would appear that in the Derbyshire potterie one of the principal objects of the Factory Acts i 3 to a great extent frustrated. Employers do not like to be responsible for the education of children, and they, therefore, employ very few under 13—children below that age being under the operation of the Factory Act, and obliged to divide their time between work and school. Further, a correspondent states that the parents are careless about sending them, stating that " it is more trouble than it is worth for a child to be upon half time." If a child were work ing the whole of his time be would probably earn Bs. or 3s. Gd. per week. That amount, when it co mes to be divided between the two children who thus share the day between them, leaves but little for the parents after paying for their schooling and the extra clothing they require. The consequence is, says this writer, that between parents and employers very few young children are at work, and many are idling on the streets. A MINERS' CONGRESS. The miners of Staffordshire and Worcestershire who have met in congress at Dudley, have given much thought to the great project of establishing a national amalgamation of the British miners. Some of the delegates thought that a strong national union would be able to bring such a power to bear on the masters as would compel them to make provision for the better prevention of colliery accidents. One representative believed that such an organisation would be the means of preventing strikes. He did not say how ; but it is to be presumed that he expected the miners to have the masters so completely under control as to command their own terms. It was agreed that agitation be commenced at once to pro mote this end. The men of Staffordshire and Wor cestershire have agreed to support the nailers on strike as well as the miners of South Yorkshire. MRS. STOWE AND LORD BYRON. The controversy anent the Byron scandal has not been confined to the eastern side of the Atlantic; the United States press has taken no the matter with, if possible, greater warmth, and more emphatic energy than has been shown here. In this country opinion has been somewhat divided ; in America the press has been almost unanimous in condemning Mrs Stove. They expected a " jolly row" in England and denounced Mrs. Stowe with all the vigour foi which the American papers are remarkable. Man) of them declared there could be no truth in the story; almost without exception they condemned the revealer of it. Our own papers still teem with correspondence on the subject. "T. Arnold," of Oxford, takes up a ground in regard to it characteristic of the Arnolds. He believes Mrs. Stowe, and had himself guessed at " the truth" long ago; but objects that the article in 111aemillait was not necessary, ns it only feeds the " ignoble vulgar ' with something spicy. " Among millions of half instructed minds, for centuries to come, not justice, but infinitely less than justice, will be done to the character of one of England's great men' lle points out, in support of his position, that Byronic conduct has already in the very eye of men brought upon him a punishment. Afflicted with remorse and ennui durmg his whole life, he died just when about to taste the cup of pure glory. Nothing more was wanted that Mrs. Stowe could tell to serve the interests of morality. INTERNATIONAL CONTESTS. Lord Elcho suggests that the great bOat-race should be supplemented by an international contest of riflemen. He thinks there can be no difficulty in get ting a strong team of American mar::smen to follow the example of the Harvard crew, and try the mettle of our crack shots. Though the qualities of the - United States riflemen are little known now, there must be sonic good shots; for the rifle was forinerly the favourite American weapon. By its help America became a free state, and our colony a great nation. But surely Lord Elcho cannot expect our cousins .„1 An all the frac-ern/lin These intermtional conter,ts ought to take place in the United States as well as in England. POLICE DOINGS. Another awkward police case is reported—this time from Mrlishire. The inspector of the local police summoned a constable n:uned Welib before the Wallingford magistrates on a charge of assault. Webb, at the same time, summoned the inspector for •brutal maltreatment. The inspector affirmed that the constable was found drunk on his beat, and that he had been removed to the station-house by two of his brethren. The conatable maintained that he was DerfectlY sober at the time of his PROFITABLE PRISONERS. It is not in New Zealand alone that a gaol can be made to " pay." The Massachusetts State prison has paid its expenses of every kind out of the convicts' labour, and has besides made a clear profit of not less than ten thousand pounds in two years. In England gaols are the worst of State specula tions. Every convict costs some £37 a year, whilst, on an average, he earns no more than £2 10s. during the same period. To what is this remarkable difference to be attributed ? Mainly no doubt, to the fact that labour is much needed in America, whereas we in England have a superabun dance of it. But something is very likely owing to the difference of system. In many respects English prison management is decidedly the best; we have no riots like those at Sing-Sing; but in one point the Americans seem to have the advantage. They teach—at all events in some States—every prisoner a complete trade. In Maine, out of 200 inmates discharged during the last five years, only seven have been re convicted. In some English counties the re-convic tions amount to 30 or 40 per cent. The Americans claim that their plan of trade teaching brings about all this difference ; but here again the abun dance of labour tells in their favour. When they have let loose their newly-made handicraftsmen, work is to be found at once. This would hardly be the case in England. Still the nrinciple seems excellent. FOREIGN NOTES. COLLIEET ACCIDENT IN AMERICA. The announcement of the colliery accident at Plymouth Pennsylvania, is supplemented by some details in a Tinics telegram. The disaster occurred in a colliery which hai7 for some time been in disuse. Work was resumed et, Monday, when a shaft more than 300 feet deep caught fire at the bottom, and in a few moments the shaft ant' the buildings above were in flames. Two hundred men and boys were in the mine at the time, and it is feared that all are dead. Two men were sent down the shafshaft that night, but were suffocated, and nothing could be ascertained of the fate of those within. The fire lasted for some hours, and rubbish fell in which choked the shaft. It is believed to have originated from the venti. lating furnace timbers being dry. Efforts were being made the next day to force air down the shaft, and to effect an entrance from an adjacent colliery. Ilubilred of persons were gathered at the pit's mouth, and great distress prevailed. THE SULTAN AND TILE KHEDIVE, The Eastern Budget publishes a telegram from Vienna, stating that the Austrian Government has most urgently recommended the Viceroy of Egypt, through its agent at Alexandria, Herr Schreiner, to assume a. conciliatory attitude towards the Porte. It is added that the Viceroy has accepted all the conditions laid down by the Turkish Government with the exception of those relating to the Budget and the contracting of new loans. All the great Powers are agreed in their policy on this subject, and that it is expected that their combined intervention will succeed in inducing the Porte to *hew equal moderation to that displayed by the Khedive, and thus enable satisfactory settlement to be arrived at of the few points which still remain at issue. PASSPORTS IN TURKEY. The Turkish Government has vigorously carried out the law which compels all foreigners who visit Turkey to pro vide themselves with passports. They were forced to take this step in consequence of the new law on naturali sation and the extreme facility with which revolutionary agents have crossed the Danube and the northern frontiers of the Empire. This measure will not be oppressive to honest travellers for when once they have passed the frontier and established their identity by a passport, they will enjoy perfect immunity on the Turkish territory, and undergo no surveillance from the authorities. The foreigner is not so fortunate in the other States of Europe, for he feels himself constantly watched by the police. It must be remembered also that, according to the custom of the Ottoman Empire, the foreigner is only under the jurisdic tion of the laws of his own country. The local authority has no power over him, and the system of passports fur nishes the only check that can be put on his proceedings. AMERICAN AFFAIRS. (From the Anglo-American Times.) NEW 'ironic, Aug. 19. The London detective, Inspector Spittle, arrived on Tuesday in the Scotia to take charge of Messrs. Harwood and Hatcher, but finding they had already returned with their own consent, he found his journey had been made for nothing, and he had to go back etnpty-handed. Rear-Admiral Hoff arrived in the Albany early on Tuesday morning. That steamer left Santiago de Cuba, July 23d, under Capt. J. A Balscorub, touching at Key West, and arrived at the Lower Quarantine with yellow fever on board, of which assistant engineer Steele had died the previous day. Although she is to be detained there six days Admiral Hoff has been permitted to proceed to report. Secretary Robeson inspected the Brooklyn Navy -yard on the 17th, with Admiral Porter, ex-Secretary Borie, and General Sherman, and highly complimented Admiral Godon for its efficient state. After inspecting the fortifications on Governor's Island, the 7allapoosa proceeded with the party east. Poor Nagle, the Fenian gene ral, committed suicide by throwing himself from a second storey window last Sunday morning. He had lately been appointed clerk in the Tax Com missioner's office. During the war he was a captain in the Irish Brigade, of which his regiment, the 38th, formed part. On Monday many gentlemen assembled at Sweeney's Hotel to take steps to do honour to the deceased. A committee was appointed to adopt resolutions of condolence, of which the first declared that he had departed this life in con sequence of the " culminations of diseases resulting from his severe and unjust treatment while unjustly incarcerated in an English dungeon therefor." It is a pity that Nagle should have taken so public a measure as a header from a second storey window, or there would have been much more force in the resolution. There has been a row among the Fenians about that $20,000. Mr. Barr, the receiver, was accused of pocketing the lion's share, and keep ing the rest to finish that off too at a more con venient season ; and, of course, Judge M'Cunn, who appointed him was supposed to have an inte rest in his proceedings. The former has been de nounced, and the latter is never again to receive an Irish vote ; but Mr. Barr writes to show that the only sum paid was $l,OOO, given to the very man who brings the charge to cover his alleged disbursements, $1,500, to meet his law expenses. They have a vicious habit these Fenians of throw ing dirt at each other and all who come near them. A daughter of Commodore Vanderbilt had a nar row escape at the Cliff House, Rye, when her horse having run away the coachman was thrown from his scat, but Mrs. Barker, watching her op portunity, dropped on the grass Mrs. I. P. Pierson's little girl, and while the horse was in full flight took up her own child and jumped out, all escap ing without any serious injury. The great sensa tion of the week was the Pratt affair, which has been blown up by the press almost into a flame, and a great deal of ill-feeling was being generated, when, happily, United States Commissioner Os borne discharged the prisoner, which Judge M'Cunn and his friends represent as a triumph, though the Commissioner was particular in saying that it was from want of evidence only that such a course was taken, and not from want of jurisdiction. Mar shal Barlow had an escort of United States troops, and crossed the water of Long Island Sound in an armed revenue cutter, his country house being on Long Island or Staten Island,fearing an arrest. Had this been attempted, it might have led to very serious consequences, but happily the course of events averted such a catastrophe. Pratt, it is said, has found it expedient to proceed to Canada, under the dread of being again arrested. The Fenian fillibus ters, rebels, and the rest, however they may war against the Independence of Canada, occasion ally find it convenient to have a frontier to get across. There was a ball at the Continental Hotel, Long Branch, yesterday evening, to which several distinguished persons were invited, among them Mr. Peabody, but who, I fear, is not likely to be present. This entertainment, being considered the end of the season, was to be made unusually bril liant, the belles coming even from Saratoga and Newport. Robert E. Sprague, who took the wife of THE INDIANS AND THE UNITED STATES The Pall Mall Gazette is scarcely fair to the citi zens of the Republic in its article on the Indians and the United States. It commences by acknow ledging with some degree, of shame the cruelties with which the English suppressed and punished the Mutiny in India, while excusing them on the plea that the victors were provoked by massacres, and were hot from the desperate contest. From this the article glides on to individual atrocities on the part of United States soldiers and citizens against the Red Indians, as detailed by one of the Commis sioners sent to protect them, appointed by the Admi nistration. Not a word is said in explanation ; the position in which the men thus stigmatised were placed is wholly ignored, and the American is left with the odium of shooting defenceless women and children, and crimes even more horrible, while the excuse for the British in India is readily enough forthcoming. In the newspapers of the United States, British atrocities are often narrated in a similar way, and the people are led to believe in a brutality which has some, but no general existence in either nation. If the Pall Mall Gazette wanted instances of the unscrupulous and unrelenting dealing of Americans with Red Indians, we could furnish enough to fill a number of the paper instead of an article, and if it required such instances of the Bri tish in India and in the islands of the Pacific, we can supply it with all the material it can print for a week. On inquiry it will be found that the Ame rican atrocities are more justifiable—if with Chris tian men such a word can be used—than the British atrocities. From the first landing on the shcres of America till now, the period has been one continued contest with the Red skins. Wherever settlements were formed this was the state of aff.►irs, and the pioneers of civilization grew up from generation to generation with an inborn feeling of hostility to the race. The story of his life became one of desperate conflicts and hair-breadth escapes, of cruel wounds and great suffering, and his end perhaps was to perish beneath the Indian bullet or knife, and his hair to grace the wigwam of a chief. The stories left as traditions in the frontier villages as they grew into cities were of massacres and cap tures, of men dying under horrible tortures, and no soldier or trapper, teamster, or other whose movements brought him within reach of the savages, ever so far emptied a revolver as not to reserve a friendly bullet for his own brain or heart, when he saw capture inevitable. The tales of devilish in genuity shown by these Indian fiends in extracting from the human frame all the torture and indignity it can bear, have thrilled many a man's blood with horror, instilling into him a deep thirst for venge ance, an oath to spare none—warrior, squaw, or papoose. It is of these men the Pall Mall writes without telling these circumstances, which would be the same as if a savage described a lunging scene on an English gibbet as got up for the amusement and excitement of the crowd. The man was hanged, as he says, but to expiate the guilt of murder, and Colonel Carrington, whose massacre of Indians supplies the instance for all such denunciations, was convinced that in exterminating the Indian vermin he did as much good to the country as if he had swept away a brood of man-eating tigers. This is the feeling, and these are the causes in the Far West ; but the causes not being felt, the sentiment widely differs in the East, where many and genuine philanthropic efforts have been made to suppress this war of races, to civilise, and to save the Indians. The task was next to impossible, for who could control the acts of the hunters in the Rocky Mountains, or the traders moving in parties across the prairies ? and if they could have been controlled, who was to control the Cheyennes, the Sioux, and the Arapahoes, when they chose to take to the war-path, and devastate the outlying settlements ? Even when Congress gave force to the national wish, and appropriated large subsidies for the benefit of the tribes, by what machinery could the grants be made to reach savages scattered and wandering over a country in its vast extent anmapped and unknown ? Of course the Indians were cheated, and the intention of the nation baulked ; but in discussing a subject headed " The Indians and the United States," it is manifestly unjust, while detailing individual instances of crime against them, to ignore the attempts made by the Re public to save the children of nature found within her borders, as well as her reservations, and appropria tions. On this subject the President had a policy which he endeavoured to carry out the moment power came into his hands. Ile appointed an Indian chief, who had long served on his staff, as Chief Com missioner, as best qualified ; he selected from the " City of Brotherly Love" as commissioners men I well known for their un iversal benevolence, for the general philanthropy of their nature, as well as for their energy and good judgment; and with all the power Congress enabled him to confer he sent these forth on the mission of peace, and it is from one of them, we believe, the Pull Mall has ga thered the cases, of which it makes what we con sider to be an unjust use against the United States. Whatever may be the shortcomings of the Repub lic in its relations with the Indians and Negroes, still it contrasts well with the conduct of any other people towards aliens dwelling on their territory, and we believe that no charge can be brought against tlie policy however deeply individual l n aw t d i e o s n s , and unscrupulous men w ho citizens, and of nation, mix so largely with early settlers, may have in dulged in excesses. The slavery introduced into America, and left as a legacy by England, the Re public abolished ; and a remnant of the aboriginal tribes will be saved, or, if not, it will not be the fault of the nation.—.Anylo-American TiineB.

The author pretends to give an account of the recitation of the Lord's Prayer by the elder Booth, in Baltimore, which is erroneous iu some of its particulars —so much su that I have concluded to give what I know to be a correct version. Most of the citizens of Baltimor e will remember a pious eccentric and wealthy old maiden lady by the name of Miss Rachel Colvin, who resided in the eastern section of that city, and died about twenty years ago. She was in the habit of giving dinner parties, to which a number of the most, prominent divines were in vited. Though she deprecated theatrical perfortn , we''' she was a great admirer of the elder Booth, who was a fre quent guest at her table. It was atone of those dinner par ties that the wonderful elocutionary powers of the elder Booth were displayed in the recitation of the Lord's PraYer• A short time after the decease of the old lady her will be came the subject of a severe legal contest. The discarded heirs undertook to break the will and establish her i 11" sanity. The most eminent counsel of the city were engage . ' The caveators were represented by the late Hon. 110 1 1 Winter Davis, Grafton L. Dulany,and Richard T. 3lorricici Esq.—the latter at present one of the most prominent Incur; hers of the bar of this city. The caveatee, or validity of. the will, was sustained by the Hon. Iteverd/Johnson, Wri.„ l " Liam Schley, George William Browne and Frederick No Brune, jun.—all now surviving and ranking among th ablest legal minds of the day. The cause was tried du,, inn the winter of 1854-5, before the Circuit Court of 13,1 timoro county—Judge Albert Constable presiding. caveators, in their attempt to prove the insanity of trio testatrix, summoned to the witness-box Bishop Beverly Waugh, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who was °„, ua „ of the old lady's guests at the tirno of Booth's recitation. .d" the mind of Bishop Waugh the introduction of a P lB . l actor' among divines at such a time and place was colloid:, sive evidence that the testatrix was not of 'sound h deu f memory, and understanding,' and competent to dispo se her property. Such was his opinion; but upon crop examination by the Ron. Reverdy Johnson, when a s I `7; concerning the effect produced by the recitation, his rep was of such a character as to satisfy the most fastid ieu that the old lady, in extending an invitation to the e ider Booth to partake of her hospitality in company with P r °, iniuout divines, was granting the latter a treat whic h it could not sacuro under any other circumstances. Alt houg l the cause was severely contested for several weeks , se created considerable excitement in the city, the legality the will was sustained, and the sanity of the test 3lr3 " . affirmed by the verdict of the jury." On the subject of the usurers in Court, the r t e: ea lion observes that they were not those who crea t the stringency in the money market which injur eu business, but the men who counteracted the ea influence, though the public is against them, be lieving that they were. A gang leagued with the robber barons of the Erie, caused the lock -11 P against the Vanderbilt clique, whom they hoped to 0 , force into selling their shares. This they tried La accomplish by combining not to lend money, an , endeavouring to prevent their opponents from get ting it upon any terms— -5 "The men who had been punished for usury wer e ta t t: who not only did lend their own money, but who Wel l ,, e ) great labour and expense to bring other people's 111° I ;j. from all accessible points so as to lend it.
