THZ raffarss OP WALES AND TH BEGGING , LETTER. The correspondent of the Standard, writing of the sojourn of the Princess of Wales at Wildbad, says : " The monotony of the royal life here from day to day was broken on Friday last by an incident tet altogether agreeable. A man, poorly dressed, presented a letter, respectfully enough, to the Princess as she was walking on the Promenade. The Princess, who is all goodness and simplicity, seemed disposed to accept the petition, as it obviously was, but eneral E:nollys at once, and very properly, in terposed between the shabby individual and the Princess, and took possession of the missive. Let me hasten to say—lest there may be some unfounded denunciations of the English at Wildbad—that the begging letter writer was a Dane. He was 'hard up' it appears—possibly lost his money at Homburg or Wiesbaden—and presuming on his nationality and the universal reputation of the Princess for kind ness of heart, wanted assistance to enable him, he said, to get back to Denmark. His presumption was rewarded with a sovereign, with which he disappeared, apparently very grateful and well satisfied. But the Lardy Dane no doubt reflected that he could not expect to meet 'with a • Sea-king's daughter' every day, and resolved not to let his royal country'woman off so lightly. On the followlng morning he awaited her exit from the bath, and respectfully requested to be allowed to speak a few worda to her. 13ut Le had calculated badly when he supposed he could repeat his impertinent annoyance of the previous day. Before he could repeat the, Danish equivalent for `Jack Robinson!' he was in the grip of the local func tionaries, and on his way to hold an interview with the mayor. Within hall-an-hour the ostensible desire of the Dane was gratified—for he was en route for Denmark with all speed." FOURTEEN PERSONS POISONED. Waltham, a village distant about seven miles from the city of Canterbury, has just been the scene of a sad raja ' haf), which his already resulted in the death of two per sons. A few days ago a labourer, named Lancefield, who has been in the service of Mr. File, farmer, of Waltham, was, with his wife, seized with sudden illness after having taken tea. Their symptoms were sickness, diarrhoea, and violent pains, accompanied by an intense thirst. The husband felt the illness most severely, and a local medical practitioner (Mr. Hamilton) who was called in, regarded the symptoms as indicative of English cholera, and treated them accordingly. The man suc cumbed to his illness on Friday. Meanwhile a dozen per sons living near were attacked with sickness and vomiting after drinking tea or water from the contents of a bucket used on the premises of the Lancefields. The whole of the symptoms were in every respect similar to that exhi bited by Lancefield prior to his death. The persons were attacked with diarrhoea, parched lips and mouth, creating an intense desire for drink; their eyes were swollen ; they had violent retchings. Mr. Hamilton- prescribed the usual remedies for the treatment of persons, who ha.l taken poi,v n, and EOlllO soon got better. Mrs. Lancefield, however, died after intense agony, on Monday morning. An inquiry took place, and it appeared that Mr. File (Lancefield's master) had been using some of Bigg's sheep-dipping composition, and that Lancefield, mired his master to give him a barrel which had contained it to use as a hog tub. Mr. File told Lancefield he might have it, but was cautioned against using it before it was properly cleaned. The poor fellow appears to have washed the tub with a solution of soda, and to have had it converted into a well bucket, and brought into imtne eliate use. He himself drew a pail of water overnight for use the followingmorning„ and it was after taking teamade from it after standing in the tub twelve or thirteen hours that the persons were taken ill. The neigh bours who came to their assistance during their illness satisfied the deceased man and woman's craving for drink by giving them water from the fatal tub. The sufferers include a family of six persons, father, mother, and four children. The adult sufferers are in a fair way towards recovery, but one of the children lies in a stlangerous state. At the inquest held before Mr. De Lasseux, one of the coroners for East Kent, the medical teeth - role , shewed that death had resulted from arsenic taken in a diluted form. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidentally poisoned." LAW AND POLICE. SINGULAR CHARGE.—At the Middlesex Sessions, on Wednesday, the extraordinary charge against a medical galvanist, named Brooke, was investigated. It will Le remembered that the defendant was accused of violently beating his little daughter, two Sears old, and galvanising her. The principal witness against the doctor was Lydia Dawes, a young woman who had been in his service, but who left on bad terms with her master and mistress. The testimony of persons living in the house was, however, in the prisoner's favour, and a physician who gave evidence explained that tl.e galvanising apparatus a (add produce marks like bruises. Persons who had been gal vanised by Mr. Brooke for various complaints gave Similar evidence, and said they Lad experienced great relief from his treatment. The judge held that there was no ease against the prisoner, but said he had nut interfered eavlkr to allow the defendant the opportunity of vindicating his character. A verdict of not guilty was recorded, ane, in answ.m to a question front the counsel for the prosecution, the judge (Mr. Serjeant Cox) said he did not think the case was one which should have been prosecuted. THE EMBEZZLEMENT OF £l,soo.—At the Middlesex Sessions, on Wednesday, Arthur Johnson, who was charged with embezzlement at the last July sessions, and remanded in order that he might give information to the prosecutor, was brought up for judgment. The prosecutor is a wax chandler at the West-end, and the prisoner, who had been in his service about seven years, had embezzled sums amounting to nearly .£1,500. He expressed great regret, and said he had given all the - information in his power, but restitution was impossible, as he had spent all the money. He was sentenced to five years' penal servitude and appeared to feel his position acutely. AN HABITUAL CanitNAL. 7 -At the Thames Police-court, a woman named Hannah San Sauter was charged with breaking four panes of glass, with being drunk, and with attempting to commit suicide. It seems the prisoner has been in custody upwards of 200 times during the last ten :rears, but cannot be brought within the provisions of the Habitual Criminals Act. A constable said she had been in custody twenty-one times since August 1867, and in the last two years she had received 219 days' imprison ment and bard labour ou twenty summary convic tions. She had so often attempted to commit suicide that they could not leave her alone a moment, and the attendances of the doctors upon her figured heavily in the police expenses. The magistrates committed her for trial. MISS RIVERS AGAIN. —On Wednesday, Miss Louisa Rivers, daughter of the late Sir H. Rivers, Bart., was charged at the Winchester Petty Sessions with knocking down a little girl. Miss Rivers, who is a middle•aged lady, has previously been charged with similar assaults on the highway. The bench decided upon remanding her in order that further inquiry might be made. SERIOUS .CHARGE OF ARSON.—Jobn Downes, a draper, at Sonthsea, was charged on Wednesday, at the Ports mouth Borough Police-court, with setting fire to the pre mises in his occupation that morning. A policeman saw the prisoner in his shop when the alarm of fire was raised, about•five a.m., and found fire in a drawer in the counter containing paper. Several articles about the shop were on tire, with nothing to account for it. The prisoner was remanded, and bail refused. THE ROYAL IRISH AGRICULTURAL Snow.—The Royal Agricultural Society's Show was opened at Tralee on Wednesday. The exhibition of stock was rather limited in extent. The Challenge Cup for short-horned bulls- was won by Mr. Challoner, of Meath ; for heifers, by Mr. Bolton, of Wexford ; for sheep, by Mr. Maria, of Inceby, Lincolnshire. The Lord-Lieutenant and Countess Spencer visited the show at one o'clock, and were received with great enthusiasm by the people. An address Ira presented on behalf of the Town Commissioners. DE. VAUGHAN. For some years past Dr. Vaughan has allowed those reading fur orders to work under him at Doncaster, in order chiefly that they might gab, some insight into the practical work of a parish Ty.evious to ordination. Ile wished, before leaving Don caster, once more to assemble around hint those who bad availed themselves of this privilege. For this epose be invited them to a farewell meeting on Tuefelay and Wednesday, and, on t of 120, 103 availed them selvea of his invitation. There were clergy front almost every diocese in England, including even the distant one of Exeter. The proceedings commenced on Tuesday with a dinner given by the Vicar in his new national schools, to the erection of which he had largely contributed out of the proceeds of some of his writings. At eight o'clock the clergy proceeded in their surplices, headed by the choir and the churchwardens, to the parish church, where an impressive Hermon was preached to a large congregation by Dr. - Vaughan, f rom 1 Peter, v.l: "The elders that are among you I exhort, who am also an elder." In the course of his sermon he touchingly alluded to the close of his nine years' work at Doncaster and to the affectionate sympathy which his approaching departure had called forth from all classes. The following morning the llolY Communion was ad ministered at three o'clock. At nine there was breakfast in the National Schools, and at noon Dr. Vaughau delivered a farewell address to the assembled clergy, ex- porting them to be simple, sensible, persevering, devout, and afireotionate to their fellowabourers. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. TIM LAND QUESTION. An article appears in the Freeman's Aurnal on the land question, which, conzigcring its authen ticity, is worthy of consideration. Our contemporary wishes to know whether " the IlindoO or the Buddhist is more precious in the sight of Christian England than the Irish tenant farmer," a question, we are told, which must be answered next session practi cally and with precision : " Three millioniof the Trish race depend for weal or for woe upon the answer, and watch with longing eyes and aching hearts for the decision which will be arrived at, and for the answer that will be given. There are others, too, who ought to watch it with no less anxiety. The Irish landlords are perhaps hardly less interested in the issue than are the Irish tenants, for there exists in this country and in England a profound conviction that the Government and Legislature must either interfere promptly and effectually or definitely withdraw from the arbitrament, and leave the 000,000 sturdy tenant farmers to arrange the matter as best they can with the 8,400 landlords. There must be an end to the disorganised condition to which uncontrolled landlordism has reduced the country ; and rather than force on the feud to a war o f c la s ,ep, an 1 face the hitter iterpfelie that are sure to Pucceed, we would he ready to listen to any suggestion for compensating the landlords on a just or even a liberal scale fur any deprivation of even fancied rights, the abolition of which may be essential to a permanent and just settlement of the question." The Journal is of opinion that tile securitiesguaran teed by the tenant-right of Ulster aro the essentials of a just tenant-code for Ireland. On some estates of Ulster the model exists in perfection, but it exists only \ by tolerance and the special grace of the land lord. _ What is wanted is a law reserving the old tenant-right established in Ulster by James I.—n law abolishing eviction in form, in phrase, wad in fact, and securing eachtenant a continuous occupancy and against a capricious increase of rent. THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE IRISH CHURCH. Whilst the slow and painful process of reorganising the Irish Church goes on, it is gratifying to End that the laity are not indifferent to the importance of the crisis, nor unwilling to bear the share of the burden which falls to them. Au address signed by many heads of families in ilie district of Thurles has just been forwarded to the Bishop of 0:;shel, re questing him to convene a meeting- of the clergy and laity to consult as to the most Ilftng representation of the two bodies in any gencral asseml4 of the Church that mny be held. MUNDELLA AND MS CONSTITUENTS. Great things were confidently predicted of Mr. Mundella. His defeat of Roebuck at the Shef field election gave no small amount of notoriety to his name, and he was selected by Mr. Gladstone to second the motion—the first of the session—for an address to the Queen. He en!ered the Holm an entirely new and untried man. On Tuesday he gave to his consf itnents a history of the session and his doings in connection therewitii. Few men have obta:ned so good a place in so short a time, awl Mr. Mundell i's supporters at Sheffield are enthusiastic in praising him. Ilis speech on Tuesday contaided the inevitable history of the Irish Church Bill, references to the Endowed Schools bill, the Bankruptcy Bill, the Femafe Municipal Franchise Bill, the Sunday Schools Rating Bill, the Trades Unions Bill, and the University Tests Bill, together with a declaration of his opinions on the reform of the House of LorJs, capital punishment, the Permissive Bill, and the Ballot. The hon. mentleman came most prominently before , the public is one of the backers of the Trades Unions Bill. He remarked that what he and Mr. Hughes had done had caused the Government to introduce a bill—which had now become an Act — giving protection to the funds of trades unions. He expressed pleasure at the amendment of the law of bankruptcy, at the fact that females had the muni cipal franchise, and that Sunday-schools and ragged schools were no longer rateable. The rejection of the University Tests Bill by the Lords impressed him with the fact that the Upper House must soon be reformed. The alteration might be delayed, but it had yet to come, and the more speedily it was accomplished the better. The Ballot, he was glad to say, had made such rapid progress that he felt confi dent the next general election would be taken by it. Paid canvassing and public-house committee-rooms would, he also hoped, be put an end to. Tic present Government, Mr. Mundella. declared, was a most economical one. Mr. Childers was " one of the best Ministers of Marine England had ever had." ELECTION COMMISSIONS. Election Commissions are the order of the day. Three of them are sitting simultaneously. The peccant boroughs of Norwich, Bridgwater, and Beverley are having their sins inquired into. At Norwich there is rather a sad conflict of evidence. Several men have sworn that 7s. Gd. per man was paid on the part of the .Conservativcs to some score of voters at the Trumpet public-house. A grocer,named Fisher, a Conservative committeeman and eAnvasser, stated to have taken part in the bribery, positively denied the allegation against him. Tile Oilier-- Commissioner tried to e - samine him, bait g ,ve it up, saying he-would not comics rend to nal; biro any more questiLns. Tte Commissioncn at Er:dgwater h7ve been prat in much the same teroper ;)y -the funi'ing and appall nt lying of t .eir witnascs. Chef-Commissioner has refused an indemnity to the town citric of the borough, who had pet:tioned Parliament, alleging illeg.ll practices, and who now said he had no knowledge of any such. A man who received .1.:10 to vote for Kinglake and Vandeayll, afterwards returned it, and reeeivisl another £lO. For what purpose be did this hp gave no idea, saying itivas done under the inspiration of the moment. On his stating this, Mr. Anste7 ex claimed, " 1 don't believe you." At Beverley 4-1.- inquiry is only just commenced. THE OXFORD AND lIARYAP.D BOAT-I: ACM The regulations for the international boat-race are published, and are most stringent in the provision that no steamers shall be allowed to follow. It is by no means certain, however, that the course will be free, for it is stated that at least one company intends to try to break through the line with its steamboats, and to follow the crew if possible. Attention is called to the fact that tickers are sold at a high figure by the servants of one of the steamboat com panies, the purchasers being assured that if they do not succeed in following, the money will be returned. The plan of those who sell the tickets is 'understood to be to incur the penalty which the Thames Conservancy Board imposes on refractory steamers, and pocket the handsome difference between the amount of the fine and the shower of sovereigns which such a temptation as they offer would attract. The Conservancy Board, it is to be hoped, will notice the advertisement, and take measures which will entirely prevent this most dishonourable act on the part of a company. THE ALBERT ASSURANCE COMPANY. The papers still abound with letters from the unfortunate policy-holders whose hopes have been wrecked by the insolvent assurance company. Of these cases, perhaps the most pitiful are those whose policies were taken in another company supposed to be sound, and afterwards trans ferred to the Albert. A. correspondent, giving himself the suggestive title of " Sixty-Six," affirms that he took a policy in the Western Life some twenty years ago. At that time the Western Life Office held a high position, and amongst its directors were some men of mark and respootability. In 1803 the office received an addition, and figured under another name; then this alliance was broken and it became the Western once more. But every one of the directors who had won the. 'confidence of " Sixty-Six" had by this time retired from the management. A new generation had arisen, and its conduct of the business was not satisfactory. About four years ago the Western Life was amalgamated with the Albert, with what result it is needless to say. This unfortunate insurer, who has lost the fruits of twenty years' laborious economy, complains bitterly that policy-holders have no choice in the transfer of their interests. In the case of the Western and the Albert it appears that the terms on which the two offices do business differ considerably. Several injured individuals urge strongly the necessity of appointing a thoroughly independent liquidator, who will represent the policy-holders in the winding-up. One writes : "I know that some who have received large sums in connection with those amalgamations are in active com munication with those who, according to present arrange. ments, will have much to do with the winding-up of the company. None are so fully alive to the fraudulent character of most of the amalgamations that have been carried out as the professional amalgamators them selves, who will naturally strain every nerve to prevent publicity." This writer gives a noteworthy incident in connec tion with another assurance company, " which is likely to speedily follow the Albert." One . policy holder who had undergone the scarcely satisfactory process of four ainalganiations, felt dissatisCed, and applied to the secretary for the bonus on which lie could surrender his policy. He was offered J.:AL Ile threatened legal pmeeeilings ; and lie was immedi ately offered n £lOO, and finally J:150 nearly the entire amount of his premiums. IMPERIAL STATE AT TRALEE. The principal I r i s h sub;ect of i n t e rest during the i week s th e annual .c a ttl e Sh ow o f the royal Agricul tural Society, which is now being held at Trale... At all times this is a pleasant r i un i on , b ut th i s year t h e capital of henry is graced by th e presence o f th e Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, who is b e i ng rece i ve d with Imperial state. Ile has driven thro;igh the principal s!rcets, and has been welcomed with enthusiasm by a warm-hearted people, who esteem Earl Spencer for many acts of personal kindness, and who, let us hope : are not unmindful of the great act of justice that has been consummated. Indeed, to judge by the local journals,. the people of Tralee are by no means behindhand in appreciation. The Tralee Chronicle makes the visit of the Lord- Lieutenant the text of some honestly fervid race tious er tha . aran# eliaucte which has come over the.

At last, it says, Ireland is being governed not for the benefit of a section, but for the benefit of the whole Irish people:— "All sections stand now on terms of equality Lefoie the law. We would prof "ourselves fit to enjoy the equal rights of freemen in our common country. Let us forgive and forget the past, audaet out ou the brighter destiny now opening for our dear old native land ana for all her children, with feelings of brotherly consideration for one another—rivals only in the strength of our energy and zeal and earnest desire to raise Ireland to the proud - and prosperous position for which a generous Providence gifted her." ii FORMOSA." The discussion on the modern stage in general, and on the merits or demerits of the drama by Mr. Boucicault now being played at Drury Lane, still rages. Yesterday we published a letter from Mr. Chatterton, the manager of that theatre, defending " Formosa," on the ground that he was not respon sible for the public taste, and that multitudes came to see his " immoral " play, whilst Shakspere is acted to empty benches. But one visitor %% ho details his experience disputes these facts altogether. lle went to Drury-lane Theatre-last Monday, and found nut fewer than nine private boxes empty. Mr. Chatterton said there was "an overwhelming majority " of ladies present. 'This critic says that the number did not exceed twenty per cent. The tone of the drama is unmistakeable ; but that it proves such an attraction as is represented, this visitor altogether denies. It is too coarse for family people ; and its treatment is too refined for the dissipated and the vicious. FOREIGN NOTES. SPAIN. The Carlist-movement is nearly defeated, but from time to time small bands appear in various directions, and it i 3 difficult to understand the policy of Don Carlos, because, sooner or later, they must be defeated or forced to sur render at discretion. His agents have fatally misinformed him with respect to the feeling of the Spanish people, for, with the exception of the clergy, but few persons of position have joined his standard. It is snid that the French Ambassador at Madrid has had a long conference with General Prim, and protested most strongly against the attacks which the Spanish press have been making on the Emperor. Napoleon for Lis sup posed tolerance towards the Carlists. Notwithstanding this avowal, great discontent prevailed in Spain with respect to the French policy, and the constant appearance of Carlists on the French frontier tend to keep up the feeling of irritation. Among the bands of conspirators discovered was one in the province of Cuenca, at the head of which appeared a sergeant of the civil guard. sented the same characteristici to the Chinese four- - teen hundred years ago as to the Spaniards four hundred years ago. There is, moreover, a remark able resemblance between the religion of the Aztecs and the Buddhism of the Chinese, as well as be tween the manners and customs of the Aztecs and, those of the people of China. There is also a great similarity between the features of the In dian tribes of Middle and South America and those of the Chinese, and, as Hanley states, be tween the accent and most of the monosyl lables of the Chinese and Indian languages. In deed this writer gives a list of words which point to a close relationship ; and infers therefrom that there must have been emigration from China to the American Continent at a most early period indeed, as the official accounts of Buddhist priests notice these things as existing already. Perhai s now old records may be recovered in China which may fur nish full particulars of this question. It is at any rate remarkable and confirmative of the id:a of emigration from China to America at some remote period that at the time of the discovery of America by the Spaniards the Indian tribes on the coast of the Pacific, opposite to China, for the most part em.joycd a state of culture of ancient growth, while the inhabitants of the Atlantic shore were found by Europeans in a state of original barbarism: If the idea of America having been discovered before the time of Columbus be correct, it only goes to prove that there is " nothing new under the sun." So says Mr. Wells; and it is really surprising to find a Senator advocating the re-peopling of those very countries disorganized and brought to grief and shame under the Spanish rule by the very race by whom it is probable they were first settled. Asiatic civilization, settled, thriving, and prosperous in Mexico and Central America, after being ru•lely disturbed and grossly misruled by Spanish barbar ism, may be regenerated by the old race, the influx being contemporaneous with the sullen retirement back to Spain from the last foothold of Spain on the American soil. _ Thus we go see-sawing, the swing first being from East to West, then from West to East; and now apparently again from East to West ; Europe retiring from all pplitical connection with America, and Asia re-opening au immigration after the history of its decay had been lost in the lad se of ages. MR. PARTON ON LEGISLATIVE CORRUPTION. There is an interesting article in the Atlantic Monthly for August on "Strikers' of the Washington Lobby," written by Mr. Parton to prove that the Senate is not corrupt and on General Butler's behalf. It opens with a description of the well known lawyer, General, and Congressman; a pretty, .though fanciful sketch, but it is the "Strikers," in whom we are interested. Mr. Parton shows that it is not the members of Congress who are corrupt, but the " Strikers," a curious proposition by the way, for if Congress were immacalate, the occupa tion of the lobby being gone, there would be no lobby ; the existence of the lobby being itself the best proof that there is corruption in Congress. Mr. Parton goes on to show what the lobby achieved iu the acquittal of Andrew Johnson, which he as serts to have been wholly its work. It was the lobby that snatched him branded from the burning, the least credulous of those who knew the circum stanc .s being hardly able to resist the impression that three Republican votes were paid for, cash down, joist before the votes were cast. Some of the best iufortned in Washington " think they know who received twenty-five thousand dollars for a vote, who fifty thousand, who Indian contracts, and who railroad influences more valuable than both those sums united. They think they know at what house, at what time of night, and by what members of the lobby the money was lost at cards to a Senator who voted next day for acquittal. All of which may be true. Much of the valuable testimony gathered by the select committee of the managers seems to confirm these conjectures. We know that Ora Johnson lobby, utterly devoid of principle and dedency, had the money in their hands with which to buy the criminal off. We know that money was raised in custom-houses, and subscribed by distil lers, and that a million of dollars could have been procured from those two sources alone, if it had teen necessary. We know that the corruptibili'y of Senators was a topic of conversation at the Pre tident's table, and that one of his confidants cor rect:y predicted, five weeks before the test vote was taken, which seven Republican Senators would vote for acquittal. We know that two of those Sena tors, to within a day or two of the voting, continued to declare their intention to vote for conviction, and then suddenly changed their intention without any visible cause. We know that the lobby was in the fullest activity about Washington, rushing to and fro between New York and the capital, and tele graphing in cipher. I know that the strikers of the lobby were not idle, but rose to the occasion, and offered to sell to the managers votes enough to convict for a hundred - and ten thousand dollars — but the managers were up to the game. We know that the heads of the Johnson lobby were as sure of an acquittal before the vote was taken as they were after ; and that they acted upon their knowledge in the Gold-room and elsewhere." One would sup pose that Mr. Parton had in making these statements convinced himself at least that three votes were bought, and, considering that there was another lobby " the strikers" of the other side, which Mr. Par ton has chosen to overlook if they had been bought, in it are the men who certainly would have dis covered the fact. There was a lobby more eagerly pushing to get Wade in and Johnson out than those who held the post to keep Johnson in and Wade out, and were the baits held out in the pro posed 'distribution of office; we are all familiar with the use they made of terrorism and the whip. The lives of the " recreants" became a burden to them. From every side was held over their devoted heads those threatening vials of wrath which party in America know so well how to use, and all we can say is that if the three were paid, they earned the money. But were there not seven ? and what about the balance ; herein Mr. Parton is com pelled to admit that there were Republicans who conscientiously voted for Andrew Johnson's ac quittal. But Mr. Parton's argument leads to a conclusion almost as extraordinary as that of Gcn. Butler, who persisted in considering the seven as guilty, because he had hunted through Washington like a sluice hound on the scent of their guilt, and failed to discover any. If, argued the able advo cate, they had been been wholly innocent they would surely have left some traces of guilt, and the fact that not a particle can be found shows that they must have been actively and cunningly em ployed in annihilating every trace. Here is Mr. Parton's conclusion, which is scarcely less contra dictory, and as he has lately visited General But ler he has arrived at a wonderful similarity in his manner of argument. "Now the simplest expla nation of all this is, that the three or four votes supposed to have been given against the convictions of the Senators who gave them were bought with money, and yet the probability is that they were not." But the truth is that Mr. Parton in his ar ticle had two objects which so little harmonised that they landed him in this contradiction. He wanted to prove that the Senate was not corrupt, and that the Legislatures of the United States were unjustly aspersed, but he wanted also to let the public know how Andrew Johnson escaped, by showing that three Senators had been bribed to vote against their convictions, which is the strongest proof he could have g i ve n against his original proposition. At the same time we fully believe that the legisla tures of the United States are nothing like as cor rupt as the press represents. It is the h a bit o f th e intelligent editor to account for others acing against the opinions he conscientiously holds to be true and self-evident, by saying that they are bribed. Half believing this himself, ho has little hesitation in announcing it as a fact when puzzled to account for the motives of his adversary, and this evil practice of so frequently attributing bri bery leads to the very corruption he is always de nouncing. If the people believe that all are bribed to whom bribery is attributed, they must think those whose outward life induces others to regard as the best men in the United States, are in truth corrupt, and that it is not a bad thing after all to be corrupt—a long step on the road to dishonesty. The force of the charge is lost in the general false hoixt of the - accusation—just as - the value of good stock is lost by extensive watering. On the one hand the habit removes obstacles in the way of temptation, and on the other it shows in an en viable light the prosperity and security of the wicked. Senator Wilson, writing to the Boston Journal, says that he has acted with over 200 Se nators, among whom there are scarcely any he could even suspect of a corrupt motive. While far from wishing to cloak dishonesty, we believe that such articles as Mr. Parton's would have a good tendency had he not allowed himself to attri bute the very sin he desired to prove seldom in vaded-the precincts of the Senate Chamber, to Se nators against whom not a particle of proof coul'J be discovered even by the minutest investigation. AMERICAN BENEVOLENCE AND SELF- DENIAL. The Nation, in returning to the subject discussed in its article on the wages in the public service, illustrates a fact now but seldom noticed—public attention being almost invariably directed to the dishonesty of the United States officials, not to the numerous instances of self-denial and patriotism, as it is to American crime, not to a charity which exceeds that of any other nation, England not ex cepted. The Comptroller of the Treasury has a large family with at most but moderate means, and being able to do better outside the public service he has earnestly wished to resign, though holding On under the promises and persuasions of commit tees and Congressmen. Lately his salary had been raised from $3,500 to $5,000, but not till a long period had elapsed on the former inadequate sti pend. When the test cases under " the 20 per cent. resolution" were about to be decided, a per son suggested to the Comptroller that in case of a. favourable decision he should countersign the warrants for the numerous claims lying behind, amounting to $600,000, whereon this person would"- buy:them up, and give half the profits to any one the Comptroller named, which he could have re= ceived without any scandal resulting, fur be had opposed the claim, and would, in case of the favour able decision by the proper tribunal, merely appear as carrying out its decree against his own opinion. Such influences officials have to withstand, by which money may be made out of an office in a'way that re quires but littlesophistry to sooth the conscience as not irregular, and far from dishonest. Though there can be no doubt that the name of those who do resist and get but little credit for their pains is Legion, yet such instances show the advisability of paying a sufficient salary to withdraw the temptation of pressing need. The case of Mr. Jackson, who was discharged from an appointment given him by Mr. AP C ulloch , under very peculiar circumstances, is adverted to. fie abandoned a well-established legal business to fight in the Union cause on the outbreak of the war, and four years of unusual hardships broke down an iron constitution, and sent him delirious into hospital, with his physical health impaired, and his nervous system shattered. When discharged from hospital he was unfit to resume his law business, or any other active pursuit, and the physici ins reco.n• mended that he should be employed in the less re sponsible and onerous work of a clerk in the public service. This post Secretary M'Culloch gave him, and from it Secretary Boutwell discharged bim in compliance with what the Nation asserts to be the vile system now in operation in the United States. When the case was known, it immediately stirred into action some eminent gentlemen in New York, as well as Mr. George Stuart, of Philadelphia, " whose name is a guarantee of what is honest and good." Clergymen were called out of the pulpit, and judges away from the Bench, to run about among the different members of the Cabinet, and the cruel wrong was righted after much precious pub lic time had been wasted over this little second-class clerkship. We quote this instance, as it shows how many are the individuals, and how earnest they are to prevent an injustice. The moment the ca.) was known, persons of influence hurried to Washington to rectify what was regarded as a cruel wrong, and never ceased till the object was accomplished, and this may be relied on to be done whenever what ap pears to be unfair becomes public. Paradoxical as it may appear, no small share of the. corruption, and of the crime of the United States, has its source in the charity and good nature of the people. Justice is too much tinged with mercy, charity with good nature. The unfortunate, who can best simu late distress, move men of weight to sign appli cations for place, and testimonials in favour of the applicant, and the sort of trial is frequent which the Pall-Mall Gazette terms trial by the Daily Telegraph, that is, by charitable persons wbo can not be acquainted with the real facts of the case, bringing their superficial knowledge to bear against ' the Minister in whose bands is the prerogative of mercy to set asido a sentence rightfully awarded, which when skilfully arid persistently done, is very often successful. But this only proves that there is nothing in the world perfect, not even charity and an overflowing kindness of heart ; indeed no man of experience ventures on charity without being ' aware that he is treading a path which brings him into the ',tormentor's clutches, and the bidgraphies of Mr. Peabody and Miss Burdett Coutts will be curious hereafter in showing the fact. To do Americans justice none more courageously, and, we may add, more numerously take to this road. The feeling had its influence too in bringing about the Civil War, for it was the philantrophists who first moved with that restless energy which distin guishes them for the abolition of slavery, and it was their dreaded effect'on the nation which more than anything else drove the Southerners into rebel lion. In New York city alone there are twenty two distinct charitable institutions under the care of the Commissioners of PubliVharitiee—four city hospitals, a penitentiary, a workhouse, nine hos pitals, an asylum for lunatics, an asylum for the blind, an asylum for idiots, another for inebriates, an almshouse, a nursery for the children of paupers, and a reformatory school. In the year 1868, 92,272 persons were accommodated in these institu tions, and over $1,500,000 were expended in their maintenance, and in new buildings and repairs. The inmates were distributed as follows :—Penal institutions, 48,936 ; workhouse, 16,946 ; alms house, 4,135 ; hospitals, 19,832 ; nurseries for pauper children, 2,429 ; lunatic asylum, 1,580 ; ine briate asylum, 663 ; blind asylum, 132 ; idiot asylum, 109 ; reformatory school, GO. Among the institutions for the sick and diseased are a general hospital at Bellevue, a charity hospital, an, infant hospital, an hospital for incurables, a small-pox hos pital, a fever hospital, an epileptic hospital, and a paralytic hospital. The average cost of each in mate, per annum, is—ln the penitentiary, $l6O 52 ; workhouse, $llO 28 ; city prisons, $156 48 ; alms house, $64 78 ; blind asylum, $79 69 ; the various hospitals, $llB 69 ; lunatic asylum, $lO9 70 ; Ran dall's Island nurseries, $ll9 84 ; Randall's Island hospital, nursery, and idiot asylum, $l2O 51. The average per capita for all the institutions is $ll2 74. The Bureau of Medical and Surgical Relief for Out door Poor, which was organized by the board two years ago, has already shown itself very successful. It extended its benefits last year to 25,000 persons. The city is divided into poor districts, 10 or 11 in number, and the applicants arc visited by a district visitor, who reports on the case to the Superinten dent of the Poor. The Commissioners have lately appointed, or propose to appoint, a physician to each district at a salary of $5OO a year. The am • bulances for removing persons who may be injured by accidents, or become sick in the streets, are kept harnessed and ready, day and night, at Bellevue Hospital. A ship of 1,200 ts and burden iis being fitted has been tte p urc h a sed by the Commissioners, up for the purposes of educating poor . boysfor sea men,v to accommodate at least 200. This is in a city charity is more than in any other in America choked ty corruption ; yet the pockets of its citizens are a never -failing fountain, whence the poor draw copious draughts. The Bostonian with means who dies without leaving something to help an hospital, a school, or some other establishment intended to aid the poor, makes himself remarkable, and in no two cities of the world in proportion to size has more been done to spread Gospel truths than in Boston and Philadelphia. Perhaps the " City of Brotherly Love" has sent forth more missionaries than any community not far exceeding its population, such T caw MOB ALITY. A correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, anxious for a return of honour to the Turf, and disgusted with the malpractices which have prevailed upon it, seenis to have had his last hopes of revival blasted by the way in which thoie who ought to furnish the example—the noblemen and the aristocracy— have departed from the high standard set up •by their predecessors. He calls atten tion to a paragraph in some of the spotting papers. In the report of the Stockton Meeting it is stated that " the South Stockton Selling Stakes were notable only for the suspicious transactions in con nection with Mavela, a good-looking daughter of Macaroni and Margaret of Anjou, who retired most ominously in the quotations, and finished second, to the disgust of those who had got on early. The filly was secured to Lord Roseberry again by a friendly claim, but one well-known book maker offered £CO for the privilege of claiming her. The correspondent does not put in plain terms the, questions which he wants Lord Roseberry to' answer, to which query he hopes his lordship can reply satisfactorily, but asks another which suffi ciently shows what ho means :—" If on Friday next the co-swain of the Oxford boat was found to have secretly backed Harvard to win, and if during the r..ce the said coxswain contrived to lose a dozen lengths by wilful bad steering, would not Lord Roseberrv, in common with all other Oxonians, be open-mouthed against his rascality? " SUBMARINE TELEGRAPHS. Amongst the numerous projeCs for more ocean cables recently put forth, the International Mid- Channel scheme deserves i attention as a remark able novelty. Its object sto establish a system of telegraph ships connected by submarine cables with the mainland, the vessels to be moored in the fair way of the great streams of vessels passing through the British seas. It is expected that such a tele graphic system will be able to render many services to the vessels themselves, as well as to those inte rested in them ashore, by sending newspaper information, telegrams to and from underwriters, shipowners and consignees,. besides providing ton nage, stores, &c. An experiment will be first tried with a ship in the English Channel, half-way between Ushant and the Scilly Islands. The cost of esta bl:shing and working this station for nine months is expected to be not more than £17,000. The nominal capital is to be £125,000, of which, however, only one-fifth will be raised in shares for the present. The directory is highly respectable. MORE MUNIFICENCE. Dr. Neil Arnott, who recently - bestowed a donatioil of £l,OOO upon the Universities of Aberdeen and Edii.burgh, has now given the same sum to the Universities of St. Andrew's and Glasgow. All these endowments are for the purpose of founding scholarships for the encouragement of experi mental physics or natural philosophy. Dr. Arnott also lately placed at the disposal of the Senate of the University of London, of which he has been an active member from the beginning, the sum of £2,000 to found a scientific scholarship. The money is well applied, for the London Univer sity is doinga good work amongst students, and it is not rich in endowments. EMIGRATION. - At the last meeting of the Executive Committee in charge of the British and Colonial Emigration Fund, it was announce,' that 158 emigrants had arrived out in Canada. All had found employment; and, in fact, immedihte w,ei might be found for live times the number. The Committee„ albeit their fund is doing much good, seem to come to the con clusion that charity must fall far short of supplying the wants of the colony. They propose, as almost the only thing now to be desired, that employers of labour abroad should provide funds to enable the committee to despatch worli men of each trade to them. The sum might soon be recouped froth the earnings of the men themselves. It was agreed that some scheme Should be adopted to guarantee the speedy repay ment of sums advanced. Such a plan presents at least one obvious advantage. If the passages of emigrants were paid by Canadian employers, it is clear that few persons would find their way to the other side of the Atlantic by this agency, unless they were really needed. • • GUTTER. CHILDREN'. Miss Rye's scheme for the placing out of gutter children makes progress. She writes to the Tinies from Niagara with the best accounts as to the prospec tive success of her work. It is proposed, as our readers know, to take out a number of " young Arabs" of our cities and tom* and to place them in families in the far West. Miss Rye has obtained a house for the preliminary training of the children, from which they will be distributed. She has already many applicants from all quarters, but will be most careful in replyinc , to them. She will require a Certificate from the minister where applicants worn ship, and from the reeve (mayor) of the town inwhich they reside. The arrangements as regards the chil dren are most.complete. Up to 15 years of age the family with whom they will be placed will have to find them in board, lodging, clothes, and schooling; from 15 to 18 they are to get board and lodging, with three dollars a month, by which means they will become gradually. accustomed to the value of money and to their liberty. Miss Rye is confident of success. " We could," she says, " take 24,000 men and women in this country in one season." 46 PANIFICATION." This is the high-sounding title of a new invention which is to extinguish the miller and his men—a process for making-bread without grinding the corn. The staff of life is said to be greatly improved in quality by this method, because much of the glutcn . which was decomposed and lost in the heat of grind ing is preserved when grinding is dispensed with. In point of quantity, too, " panification " is a great improvement ; for whereas in the process of making bread from flour there is much waste, so that 100 pounds of grain yield only 112 pounds of bread, according to the new process 100 pounds of grain will produce, it is said, 145 or 150 pounds of bread. SELF-SUPPORTING PRISONERS. New Zealand is subject to many troubles . just now ; but it may at all events still rejoice in the possession of a gaol which pays its way. Last year the value of the labour done by the pri soners in Dunedin Gaol more than covered the entire expenditure of the establishment, without taking into consideration the labour of such prisoners as were engaged in prison employment, such as washing, cooking, cleaning, and various other works connected with the gaol. Nor is this self-supporting process on a small scale, for a few months ago the e prison contained nearly 800 evil-doers. The expen diture for the year was £7,385, and the receipts for the prisoners' work £8,778. Happy colony, where labour is so abundant that the lazy profit "nothing by going to gaol ! It is to be regretted that some of our " habituals " cannot be sent over to earn their livelihood in the same way. COTTON C ULTIVATION. "A. Calcutta Merchant" tells us that whilst those interested in the cultivation of cotton think of esta blishing the plant in all parts of the world—the Argentine Republic, Northern Australia, and Ethiopia—they overlook a fine field which is much more immediately available. The extensive tract of country close to Calcutta, known as the " Sunder bu lids,' and said greatly to resemble t' ingeoun try on the American coast, which produces the finest cotton in the world—the Sea island cotton—might be made a great cotton-producing country. S onic years ago, when eqtton was under half its present price, some small quantities of I:ne quality were actu-hly produced in the Sunderbunils ; but no effectual trial has been made." The Government sells waste laud like this at ss. an acre; the growers would be close to the capital of India and a great shipping port; and abundance of labour could be obtained.

The Pesti Paplo, the principal organ of the Beak party iu Hungary, expresses cordial approval of the reply of Baron von Beust to M. de Thule, and declares that the Minister has known how to protect the dignity of the Austro-Hungatiau monarchy. This journal praises the Austrian Minister not only for what he says, but for what he leaves unsaid, and for not allowing himself to be prp yoked. THE AUSTRIAN MILITARY FRONTIER. The proposed abolition of the Austrian military frontier is occasioning some animated discussion in the Austrian Reichsrath. This curious institution is a relic of past ages, when the invasion of the Ottomans was the great dread of the kings of Hungary. The strip of territory now known as the Austrian military fron tier lies along the edge of the eastern Austrian provinces nearest to the Turkish dominions. The old rulers of these lauds were glad to welcome fugitives from the encroach ing power of the Turks, and give them grants of land on condition of their guarding the frontier. They established ,a complete military settlement. The whole country and ' its population were parcelled out in military divisions, and the War Office exercised jurisdiction over it, even civil suits coming before courts-martial. Twenty years ago, at the time of the Ifungarian insur rection, the Borderers rendered the Empire good service against the rebels, and in return received an Imperial charter constituting it a separate Crown land. It is now proposed that the whole of this s ) stem should be broken up, being incompatible with the present position of the Empire. 'The Austrians complain that they will Lave to bear the burden of additional war expenses in consequence, as formerly every Borderer was liable to bear arms from the age of 20 until physically incapab!e. • The Hungarians will, on the other hand, profit by the change, as the territory properly belongs to them and they will regain their rights over the forests, which are of vast extent and value. The yanperor of Austria has, it is said, written, an auto graph letter on. the subject, which will shortly be pub lished. He declares that, in his capacity of bead of the army, he intends gradually to substitute civil for military administration on the border, and that he has directed the Austrian and Hungarian Ministries to confer on the sub ject. The Emperor adds, that everything is to remain in state quo until the representatives of the two countries have come to an understanding. BOSNIA. News from Vienna declares the rumour of an insurrec tion in Bosnia to be totally without foundation, and the Nord, which is usually well-informed on such matters, also denies the report. Luka Pukalovitch, the Monte negran chief, who was said to have headed the movement, is now in Russia, from whence he has issued a proclama tion to his compatriots, pointing out the best course to follow if they would secure independence. This procla mation seems to have been the only foundation for the rumour. ITANKFORT. The determination to which the Prussian Government his come with respect to the Frankfort youths who were naturalised in Switzerland, has given rise to a diplomatic difficulty. 'rho feeling in Switzerland is quite against the measure. The Federal Council has asked for explana tions from the Berlin Government. The press in Prussia vindicate the course pursued by their Government, and declare that the decree was a perfectly justifiable one. TILE TURRISU BUDGET. The first authentic Budget of the Turkish Empire will excite some interest. According to the statement of the Minister of Finance, there is a deficit of £2,102,150, aLd a floating debt of over £5,000,000, and to this are added arrears of pay to all 'the cervices, unpaid con tracts, and heavy liabilities to railways. The Imperial resume has increased greatly since the accession of the Sultan, but the expenditure has become so much heavier in proportion that it is antie'pated that the Ottoman debt will shortly reach 100 millions sterling. TIIE REPLY OF Tilt KETDIVP.. News from Constantinople, dated Tuesday evening, states that the Chief Secretary of the Egyptian Govern ment arrived flare on Monday, 1 car:ng, the Khedive's reply to the Crand VizTer. A Ministerial Council was at once summoned to consider it. P;A:ACUAY AND TRAY-IL. General McMahon and Mr. Wo, thington, the United States Ministers at Paraguay and Puenos Ayres, have al-lived at llordermx, intending to pass through Path on their way to 'Washington. General 'McMahon, in passing the lines of the Allies, was attacked by a charge of Brazilian cavalry. The plunder of the United St i ates Legation at Assumption is confirmed. The Bra zilian troops carried away all money chests and furniture. The Paraguayan President has, it is said, treated foreigners well, whether English, French, or German. WOODEN RAILWAYS. At the last session of the Quelec Legislature, Acts were obtained for the constructhn of wooden railways, and active measures are now being tt.ken to carry some of the schemes into effect. It is expected that where timber is plentiful, wooden rails are likely to take the place of iron ones. A Mr. Foster has lately introduced a new kind of wooden rail. Instead of the rail being made of a continuous piece, small blocks of hard wood are pinned in between two pieces of any soft timber, so as to make a continuous rail, along which the wheel travels, but crossing the grain of the wood. In this way all warping is avoided, and the weight of the engine does not crush the fibre of the wood, sa is the case when the wheel goes with the 'grain. The suc cess of these railways is very important, for they are very inexpensive. DISCOVERY OF AMERICA BY CHINESE. (From the Anglo-American Times.) We bare not observed anything of interest having a special reference to America in the magazines for August, or in the last quarterlies. There is a very good article in the Fortnightly on " Emigration," which takes up the ground maintained by John Wal ter, Esq., M. P., that emigrants should be educated and trained for the new country, and to make Eng lish emigration really tell to the benefit of the Fatherland in the United States, those sent should be good citizens, and equal in intelligence and edu cation to the poor classes of native Americans. The Gentleman's Magazine reproduces a subject, handled upwards of a year ago in the article of the Edinburgh Review, entitled " American Archaeo logy." The question is, who first discovered Ame rica ? Mr. Wells, the writer, inclines to the belief that the Chinese had landed on the con tinent one thousand years before the Spaniards, when they found existing in the country a reli gion similar to that of the Buddhists, and man ners and customs with which they were familiar. According to J. Hanley, the Chinese interpreter in San Francisco, the following statements are ex tracted from Chinese historians and geographers : Fourteen hundred years ago, even America had been discovered and described by them. They stated that land to be about 20,000 of their miles distant from China. About 500 years after the birth of Christ Buddhist priests repaired there, and brought back the news that they had met with Buddhist idols and religious writings in the country already. Their descriptions in many respects resemble those of the Spaniards a thousand years after. They pg c tbi a taac.e l pit l i:l ed evibarrosoto t heu, he country " Fusany," after a tree which correspond whosere w o a7 l b i doaswrekh exactlyolt loaves aut ii resemble n teac t ; h ckl o ao s Tbt e il liyiec o s f ura, t he bamboo, w h o se b ark the nativ e s ma d e clothes a nd paper out o f, and whose fruit they a te. The par tln given by the American historian, Prescott, about the Magnay tree in Mexico. He states that the " Aztecs prepared a pulp for paper-making out of the bark of this tree. Then even its leaves were used for thatching; its fibres for making rope ; its roots yielded a very nourish ing food; and its sap, by means of fertnentation, was made into au intoxicating drink. The accounts given by the Chinese and Spaniards, although a thousand years apart, agree iii stating that the na tives did not possess any iron, but only copper ; that they made all their tools for working in stone and metal out of a mixture of copper and tin ; and they, in comparison with the natives of Europe and Asia, thought but little of the worth of silver and gold.
