Although even now there has not been altogether dissipated that confusion into which the recent telegrams from China had in some mysterious way or other got worse confounded—we are, neverthe ) se, enabled by this time to see that we have really Ito cause whatever for serious anxiety as to the chance of the present war having terminated prema turely with a discreditable compromise. From the j u mbled despatches, published in the columns of one of Our morning contemporaries, it appeared to many very probable, only the day before yesterday, either that the war was actually and abruptly over, or that ibere was nmple reason for the most sinister anticipations. The more sanguine were immediately exultant, jumping at once to the con clusion that our contest with an empire peopled by 400,000,000 of the most wily and treacherous of the Asiatics, had been brought to a happy close, in a twinkling, by the capture of the Taku Forts, a rapid advance upon Tien-tsin, and a threatened march inland upon the Chinese capital itself—the m y s ti c and almost mythical Pekin. We ourselves shrank from the acceptance o f d eductions like these, deductio ns in ever y way i mprobable in th emse lves, and wholely irreconcilable with one or two "others" of those telegrams from the seat of war which had simultaneously made their appearance. One of these " other " telegrams, for example, tell ing us pointblank that the negotiations at Tientsin had been altogether and abruptly broken off; an d that the interrupted march of the Allies thence upon Pekin had been vigorously resumed. Another inti mating that this sudden change in the proceedings was attributable to the fact that the Chinese Plenipotentiaries with whom Lord ELGIN found himself entering into serious diplomatic arrange ments proved to be wholely unempowered by the Emperor HIEN FUNG to engage in any negotiations at all, good, bad, or indifferent! Yet more, one of 1 these seemingly contradictory, but in reality entirely - unimpeachable, telegrams designating the very spot to Which the advanced march of the Europeans had carried the allied head-quarters by the later days of September.lnamei3,, to a township within a dis tam;o of ten miles from Pekin, a place indicated !I* - 1 / 2 .42 11 , - ,-...- 5. ;,: .-,,,-. • '''4',li ' • ••• ,a a b t - - ^ , k l ..3,-;:-. t 9CI-1tV.' , .."4 4 c ; ;;*".... 4,, "I'. THE SUN. ~ ~ ~` ~ :..,~,~ upon the Royal Geographer's map of these fields of operation by the name of San•sien-wey ! The conclusions drawn by ourselves in the columns of The Sun the day before yesterday, that is on Mon day afternoon, the conclusions at once drawn by us from this entangled web of contradictions are already borne out entirely by the despatches published last night in the London Gazette—from the perusal of which none can rise but with the conviction that diplomatic negotiation had been indignantly dropped soon after the commencement of Septem ber, and that long before the close of September the Allied forces had marched onward within " easy distance " from the city of Pekin. The telegrams in their bewildering entirety, as first given to the public in the columns of the Post on Monday morn • ing—telegrams which we reproduced in another part of our impression of Monday evening with all due acknowledgment, but without accepting them, in our remarks in our leading columns as in anyway conclusive as indications of the happy close of the Chinese war—these telegrams elicited from the Times of the following morning a few very simple and ingenious words of explanation. Eliminating one of the telegrams alone from the cluster given on Monday by our Ministerial contemporary—the telegram mainly intimating the prospective return homewards of our forces, and announcing, even under date the 24th of September, that Sir HOPE GRANT had ordered two regiments to retrace the line of their march for immediate re-embarkation—the Times observed, in regard to that telegram, "It can hardly be doubted that at the time this telegram was despatched the commander of the expedition looked upon the cam , paign as closed.. The question, then, is, when was it despatch e d ? It h a d no d ate o f p l ace , b ut s i mp l y began, Twenty-fourth September.' To reconcile it with the other despatches of course is difficult ; but if the above date were correct there could be little doubt that the negotiations had succeeded. Unfortunately, however, the telegram, on being repeated from Marseilles, ran as follows Tien tsin, Fourth September,' an alteration which ex plains everything. The word ' twenty' had been erroneously substituted for Tien-tsin.' It is plain that this is the correct version, and that the tele gram is an old one of Sir HOPE GRANT'S, sent off when the first negotiations were in progress, and when he thought that an expedition to Pekin might not be necessary," As we have said—a very simple and a very ingenious explanation ! But one nevertheless that the Post of this morning will by no means accept as conclusive. Our con temporary, however, only rejecting the explanation suggested by its censor and critic, so very feebly and faintly that it can mere find heart to observe —" We have yet to learn that the very plausible hypothesis by which twenty is supposed to repre sent Tien-tsin has any more solid foundation than the facile supposition of a Maltese tele gram being repeated from Marseilles." The upshot of all this, in truth, being, as we main tained on Monday evening, that all we have to do now is to wait as patiently as we may until the gaps yet remaining in our intelligence from China shall have been filled up by later aivices. therefore, weak. And it is for her interest, if France is the better for being in a position to domi neer over small adjacent States. Now that the Italians have succeeded thus far, they have one French danger to prevent, another to get rid of; and both will be most easily dealt with by a mani festation of real strength. They have to veto, by anticipation, any further demand for cession. If the addition of a few millions in the north of Italy was a reason for robbing her of Savoy and Nice, what will not the Naboth of the Tuilleries demand, if he dare, now that double the number have annexed themselves and their country to the Government and territory of the same monarch. Nothing but the military strength of renovated Italy will prevent LOUIS NAPOLEON from demanding another slice of territory to compensate France for not being able to dictate at pleasure her will to the n ew kingdom. Count CATOFIR, indeed, himself re presented the union of 22,000,000 of Italians as the best guarantee against further cessions, thereby shaming the French EMPEROR, could he know shame, with the implication that he had extorted the former cessions by brute force. And then the Italians have the Quadrilateral and Rome to deal with. The expensive means of an immense army will be their best reliance in each case. If Austria means to fight for Venetia, which ought to be the meaning of her present measures there, then, of course, a vast army will be the only means of expelling her. If she knows by this time that she must condescend to take money instead of blood, she would certainly accept more favourable pecuniary terms from a power which could coerce, than from one whom she might hope to conquer, and on whom she might flatter her self she could impose her own terms. But what of Rome ? Why there, also, the strong will be most respected. At present the French may feel pretty sure that the Italians would not attack those whose blood had been so largely shed for the purchase of their liberties; besides the immense difference of the military force of the two countries. But Louis NAPOLEON must know that this cannot last for ever; and that if Italy became strong in the military sense, the pride of its inhabitants would not long tolerate the occupation of its capital even by a neighbour to whom they are so much in debted. The Italians will be wise, therefore, to follow their great general's advice. They ought to spare no cost to take a first rate military position. Their liberties are worth the outlay. Sacrifices now will be a saving hereafter. A strong Italy will be a blessing to herself, and a blessing to all the nationalities of Europe. We are sure to find Lord STANLEY heartily en couraging any voluntary movement, A young Con servative Lord, who could plead for the abolition of Church-rates, on the ground that it would train the Church of the Aristocracy to habits of self-support, encountering for this a severe rebuke from the Whig Lord of Reform Bill notoriety, might well be expected to go heart and soul with the Volun teer movement. Most ably did he represent his invalid father in the review at Knowsley Park ; but on Monday he appeared in his own behalf, advocating the formation of a county association for the encouragement of good rifle-shooting by annual matches to be held within the county. On the same occasion the prizes were distributed to the successful candidates at the recent contest at Hightown. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 14, 1860. position, are always ready to rush into a quarrel at a moment's notice." In conclusion, Lis Lordship adverted to the im portance of so regulating their prize system, that it should not merely create five or six crack shots in Lancashire, but furnish 600 of the best shots in England. This is important, doubtless. The tendency of some modes of competition, like that at public schools, is to develope extraordinary ability in a few, but to leave the great body—the " pol" —with very inferior attainments. This has been noticed before as an incident to prize shooting, which should be guarded against, since clearly a regiment, the greater part of whom were only good shots, would be more effective than one of which the mass of the men were below par, although they might have among them a few who distanced all competition. FUNERAL OF THE LATE EARL OF DUNDONALD, G.C.8., &c. This day, at one o'clock, the mortal remains of one of the greatest of British heroes were consigned to their last resting-place in Westminster Abbey, and Admiral Thomas Cochrane, Earl of Dundonald, now sleeps beneath the nave along which monarchs have walked to receive their crowns, and no future King or Queen may pass to the ceremony of Coronation without stepping on the stone which marks the grave of one of the bravest of the brave--of one of the greatest naval geniuses, whose glorious deeds will shine resplendently in the annals of his country as long as Europe has a history. In the peaceful quiet of his English home, this illustrious captain, whose name was the terror of the enemy's coasts, and a legend in every sea from the sunrise to the sunset, j when as yet our grandfathers were boys, sank at last into wellwon repose. From his boyhood he pursued death and glory with all the eager passion of a lover. The flag of his country was his lodestar, and, by day and night, through battle and tempest, through the iron hail of the enemy's guns, he watched over its stainless glory with unsleeping jealousy and insatiable devotion. The name of Cochrane must ever be a living and speaking memory and tradition in the noblest national service in the world. MARSEILLES, Nov. 13. To render honour to such a hero :one would have thought the Government would have readily awarded a public funeral to mark the estimation in which the governing power of the country held the brave old Sea King, but the spirits of routine and red tape prevailed, and the remains of the old Admiral were left to his friends and relatives for burial, because it was said no power existed to order the payment of the necessary funds. But the result of such a mean expedient was triumphant. Without the aid of Government, an honour as noble as it was spon taneous was paid to the illustrious dead by an admiring public, and a funeral marked by more simple magnificence has never taken place. At eleven o'clock the body of the deceased peer was re moved from his residence at Kensington. The inner coffin was of old English oak, lined with white satin, and was enclosed in a leaden coffin. The outer coffin was covered with superfine black cloth, having eight massive gilt handles, and a coronet over each with Gothic nails. The coffin lid was in three compartments : the upper compart ment had a coronet, the second contained the inscription plate, and the third contained the order of the Bath. The inscription was as follows : The Right Honourable THOMAS, Earl of DUNDONALD, G.C.8., Rear-Admiral of the United Kingdom. Born 14th of December, 1775. Died 31st of October, 1860. PARIS, Nov. 13.

The report addressed by General de Lamoriciere to Mgr. de Merod e, Papal Minister of Arms, has just been published. It is a document of great length, occupying upwards of 16 columns of an ordinary French j ournal, but contains little beyond what has been already brought before the public Content in the meantime with the knowledge, a knowledge now perfectly assured to us by the de spatches printed last night in the Lo;don Gazette, the certain knowledge that the pen has been long since flung aside indignantly by Lord ELGIN at Tien-tsin, and that the sword has been again drawn in earnest by Sir HOPE GRANT, then (when our last advices left) at the head of his troops, in a fair way to lead them shortly up to the very walls of the Chinese capital. A little while longer now and we shall, in all human probability, learn that the Allies are fully in possession of Pekin, and that then and there only, as we anticipated, and as we insisted in plain words from the very outset, the terms of a satisfactory, because resolute and conclusive Treaty, may be dictated to the faineant Chinese EMPEROR and his efl'ete Government. Humanity even dictates alone this bold and determined course. Half measures we have already tried with these Chinese just a trifle more than once too often. With what result upon the last occasion is only, alas, too painfully borne in remembrance at this time beside many an English hearth, where surviving relatives yet mourn the loss or the life-long anguish of those four hundred gallant tars treacherously maimed or murdered by that infamous am buscade, prepared with such devilish art and deliberation for the reception of our peaceful ambassador ! Remembeiwg that one deplorable event alone, we have felt from the first, we have insisted again and again, from the time of the fitting out of this expedition of ours against the Chinese, that one result, and one result only, could prove in any way really and expeditiously effectual—that result being, of course, nothing less than the capture of Pekin itself, and the dictation at Pekin, and nowhere else, of the final terms of the pacification. Reading these last despatches of Lord ELGIN, we can, hap pily, exult in the conviction that, still to the last, the noble Earl is there as the Right Man in the Right Place, that he yet fully realises the full weight of the responsibilities devolving upon him as the British Plenipotentiary entrusted with the no doubt difficult and delicate task of wringing an expiation from the treacherous and flagitious Go vernment of the Chinese, and of placing our relations at length with that Gevernment, for once and for all, upon solid and secure foundations. Their Excel lencies the Imperial Commissioners, KWEILIANG, HANG-FUII, and lIANGKI had—we know now—by the Bth of September, been distinctly informed by Lord ELGIN that " for the present" (that is, until the allied army should have advanced just a little nearer Pekin !) there was an end to negotiations. Wherever those negotiations shall afterwards have been resumed—whether in close proximity to the ca• pital or better still within the walls of the Imperial city itself—we may rest assured that Lord ELGIN will not allow himself any longer to be trifled with, but that the Treaty he may negotiate eventually, will be one worthy of his signature, and that the indem nities he may demand will be worth while ship ping to this country, and dragging in waggon loads of silver to be poured into the coffers of the Bank of England. GARIBALDI has retired, but with a demand on Italy for a loan in the Spring. A million soldiers, and the requisite equipments for war, is what he asks. The literal number may be somewhat chimerical, but what he intends certainly is not. The Italians have yet two serious tasks on hand, in both of which they can succeed only by showing themselves strong, although their very doing so may preclude the necessity of their employing their strength. The cost pecuniarily, and in the abstrac tion of men from pursuits of industry, will be heavy, but the money will be well spent. It will save I much heavier expense, an d b etter still, it spill secure their new-born liberties from risk. Th e French EMPEROR has to be dealt with. ave H e is their very jealous friend. They h preferred union to confederation —preferred, that is, strength to weakness. Louis NAPOLEON has published to all the world his opinion that it is for the interest of France to have Italy divided, and, He observed, and with good reason, that much as we are disposed to magnify the importance of present events, history will regard the spontaneous arming of themselves by the people this year as one of its most remarkable facts. And history will also read it aright, for it will be seen that the oc casion was furnished by our neighbour across the water, although his policy did but awaken us to the perception of a• want which had long existed. We needed something which should prove to all Europe that we w ere not inferior in martial feel ing to Frenchmen, Austrians, and Prussians ; and they have got the proof with a witness. They all now see not only our taste for the manly acquirement of military discipline and skill, but they see an aptness for it, and an enthusiasm for it which leaves at a vast distance the unwilling conscripts whom continental governments strip of their peasants rags, and put into uniform at the cost of the State. Lord STANLEY most truly observes that politically this movement has done more than any augmentation of the army by the Government could have done; because it is undeniable proof of the temper of the people. No foreign potentate would dream now of the possibility of successful in vasion, and even fire-eating journalists and colonels abroad are so cowed, that we do not remember a hint about sacking London since the Hyde Park Review. Financially—•the movement has been a great gain. If, as Lord STANLEY observes, we cannot dispensewith alarge regular army, we can dispense with augmenting it. Our rulers, but for the success of the Volunteers, would certainly have asked us for more soldiers and for more money to pay for them. We may thank Volunteers that Mr. GLAD STONE did not screw up his Income-tax to the shilling on which he looked so wistfully. Nor are the subsidiary, social, and sanitary effects of the military exercises to be overlooked. It is some thing that the different ranks of society should be brought into what we may term comrade" terms of association. Much of the undesirable sentiment which grows up between classes who know nothing of each other will vanish under the friendly intercourse of the:Rifle Corps. So far as they are composed of young men from 'the counter and desk, and other pursuits of a sedentary character, or which do nothing t• D develop the human frame, the training and exercises must also be of great value. We believe we can note the effect on the gait and bearing of n ambers of young men whom we meet, and cannot dombt that their lives are better worth insuring than they were before; not to speak of their manlier tastes. Lord STANLEY is rather fond of a paradox, and here is one. Having remarked on the tendency of he movement in favour of Europe and peace, he " It is not znerely in the sense in which went on :—' that expression is often used—because it has a tendency to deter other nations from attacking us— but it is so likewise because it has a tendency to render us less willing to engage in quarrels with other countries. That may appear at first sight a paradox, but I can explain in a very few words what I mean. I believe that whenever a cry for war spreads through this country—we have known such before and may possibly hear• them again—one of the motives which most powerfully influences the public in favour of war is an uaeomfortable suspicion that people abroad believe that England is not prepared to enter into a war, and a still more uncomfortable suspicion that in that belief it is possible that the people may be right. Jt is in the body corporate as in the physical frame, weakness and irritability go together. It is with nations as with individuals. Those who are strong, and know themselves to le so, can afford to be good. humoured and forbearing, and to pass over petty annoyances and strife, and it is those who are distrn stful of their own position who are distrustful of tt to opinion formed of them by others, who, in order 4o vindicate that doubtful The procession, which was formed, consisted of the usual feathers, the coronet and cushion of the noble lord carried on horseback, the hearse drawn by six black horses, with three mourning coaches, containing a'horeas Barnes, Lord Coch • rane (now Earl of Dundonald), the eldest son of the de ceased; the Hon. Horace Bernardo William Cochrane, the second son ; Captain the Hon. Arthur Auckland Leopold Pedro Cochrane, R.N., the third son; the Hon. Ernest Grey Lambton. Cochrane, Lieutenant R.N., the fourth son; Mr. W. A. Mackinnon, M.P., Mr. J. W. Fleming, Mr. G. Smith, Mr. F. Smith, and other friends and relatives. These were followed by carriages containing the late peer's servants, and the carriages of a large number of the nobi lity and gentry. The procession moved along the Ken sington-road, through Knightsbridge to Hyde .park-corner, Great George-street to the Abbey. Here the coffin contain ing the body of the deceased was received by the friends who had assembled in the Jerusalem Chamber, at the south-western corner of the Abbey. The gathering within the Abbey of admirers and brothers in arms was immense. The side aisles were separated from the nave by temporary railings, and behind these were massed the principal portion of the spectators. The seats in the choir were occupied by ladies, all of whom were ha bited in deep mourning. Not only was the nave crowded, but the lofty clerestories in the organ loft, the screen, and every place which could afford a view of the proceedings were filled with spectators. Shortly before one o'clock a procession of vergers, cho risters, and officers of the Abbey proceeded to the western door to receive the corpse and accompany it to the choir. The procession walked slowly along the nave towards the choir ; the singing boys carried their music paper in black scarfs, the choristers wore black silk over their white gowns, and the High Bailiff of Westminster had his silver staff and insignia of office covered with black crape. The funeral cortege then moved into the body of the Abbey in the fol lowing order. The Abbey Beadle. Twelve Beadsmen in the gowns. Tho High Constable of Westminster. Sixteen Choristers, two and two. Fourteen Vicars Choral. Two Minor Canons. The Precentor : Rev. J. Clarke Haden. Three Canons. The Dean's Verger. The Very Rev. the Dean of Westminster (Dr. Trench), supported by the Chapter Clerk and Receiver, Mr. Bedford and Mr. Marsh. THE BODY, Covered with a black velvet pall, supported by six pal: bearers. Chief Mourners, Relatives, and Friends. Immediately upon the entrance of the body within the Abbey the organ pealed out, and the choristers sang the words, " I am the Resurrection and the Life, which have been so beautifully set by Purcell. By the time this was finished the choir was reached, and the coffin was placed under the screen, while a portion of the Burial Service was read and chanted. The Psalm was the 90th, " Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations." It was chafed with unus ua l effect by the choir. Then followed the Lesson, from Corinthians, chap. xv., "Now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that sleep." The lesson was followed by Handel's funeral anthem, " When the ear heard him, it blessed him; and when the eye saw him, it gave witness of him." The ex pressive music of this delicious anthem was sung to per - fection, and not a note was lost in the spacious building. The service in the choir having been concluded, the pro cession re-formed, and proceeded to the grave, which is close to that of the late Robert Stephenson, M.P. Chanters and vergers, and deans, and canons, arranged themselves on the west side, or head of the grave, while on the sides and foot were grouped the large body of mourners. The impressive language of the Service for the Dead was then proceeded with. The anthem of Purcell's, " Man that is born of Woman" was sung, and the coffin was lowered by the ropes into the grave, and the reve rend Dean, with a voice distinct and clear, heard over the suppressed sobbings of the rummers, consigned "ashes to ashes, and dust to dust." Before the last echo had died away in the cloistered pile, the organ again pealed through the sacred edifice, and the choristers sang Handel's Funeral Anthem, composed for one of our Georgian Queens, the words being altered to suit the occasion. "His body is buried in peace, But his name liveth for evermore." To the music of this anthem one might apply, without exaggeration, the description that it is " fit for martyrs to play and for angels to hear." Then followed the "Benediction," and the mournful procession passed away from the grave as Dr. Turk played " The Dead March in Saul," The spectators of the ser vice, hitherto kept back to the side aisles, pressed forward to the grave to take, with the mourners, a, last look at the coffin. At the grave, amongst the crowd, we noticed Lord Brougham, Sir Michael Seymour, Sir Augustus Clifford, Vice-Chancellor Stuart, Sir T. Trowbridge, the Brazilian and Chilian Ministers, &c. Outside the abbey intense interest was displayed in the proceedings by the crowds of persons who thronged the approaches to the abbey and were assembled in the streets through which the funeral cortege passed. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury in Downing-street. The Ministers present were—Viscount Palmerston, the Lord Chancellor, Earl Granville, the Duke of Argyll, Sir G. Cornewall Lewis, Lord John Rus sell, the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, Sir Charles Wood, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Duke of Somerset, the Right Hon. T. Milner Gibson, Lord Stanley of Alder ley, the Right Hon. C. P. Villiers, Sir George Grey, and the Right HOD, gdwaid Cardwell. from different sotirces during the progress of the events which are there recorded. The report, which is dated No•v. 3, is divided into four parts. The first explains the position of the Roman States at the end of August and beginning of September, the number and position of the Pon tifical troops, the invasion of the Piedmontese bands, and the summons sent by General Fanti to the Roman Go vernment to send away the foreigners whom it had engaged : " From the st atements made, it appears the numerical st ,rength of the forces under General Lamorid ere's command, amounted to only 8,000 infantry, 500 artillery, and 300 cavalry. The ambulances of this army was com posed of only corm non carts; and anything in the shape of a waggon -train was absolutely wanting. The General speal of the defective manner in which the men w 'ere armed, only one battalion having Minie rill es, two others the common rifle, and the rein; limier common muskets. The artillery was equa .11y defective, and the drivers completely inexpe: rienced. Nothing in the shape of a reserve of artillery had been provided. The General alludes to • the formation of insurgent bands on the frontiers .of Tuscany and Romagna, and to the information'. which he had received of the intention of the Piedmontese troops to follow these bands into the Papal States. He also states that, in reply to a letter addressed to Cardinal Antonelli on the: subject, he had been informed that Piedmont - vcould oppose the invasion of the Papal territory b y those bands, and that he (the General) would not be attacked by the Piedmon tese troops." The second pert contains a detail of the arrange ments made to na.eet the exigencies of the situation : the movement of the Papal troops ; the capture by the Piedmontese .of the citadels of Pesaro, Peru gia, and Spoletto, and of the town of Orvieto ; the arrival of the Papal troops at Loretto, and the removal of the treasury to Ancona. The third part is fille d with details of the arrival of the brigade of General de Pimodan at Loretto ; of the positions occupied by the enemy; of the combat of Castelfi d.ardo ; the march on Ancona and the first operations of the Sardinian fleet against that place. The f onrth mentions the arrival of the General at Ancona ; the state of that town and of the garrison; thew ogress of the bombardment; the investing of the place by the Piedmontese troops; the attack of the 'fleet, and the surrender of the town. General dre Lamoriciere, throughout his report, dwells strongly on the fact that he felt himself perifectly secure on the side of the Marches and of Umbria, and that he only cal culated that he should have to contend with the forces of General Garibaldi. He also alludes to the incident, n ow completely cleared up, of the despatch of the )uke de Gramont, in which Mgr. de Merode erroneously announced to the General that the French Government would oppose by force the entrance of tl to Sardinian troops into the Papal States, nothing of' the kind having been ever said. The long documen t concludes in these terms : I conclude this report, which is already much too long, by giwit 1g a word in reply to the re proaches which have been addressed to me for having published, at the beginning of the war, some documents - which seemed to me to promise the support of Fr anee. I feel no difficulty in ad mitting that at f irst I believed in that support, and, consequently, it was very natural for me to make use of thokm documents for the purpose of maintaining the MI nul courage of the troops whom I commanded. 13 . at people would deceive them selves greatly if they were to seek the explana tion of the plan of the campaign which I adopted in the hope of a co-operation which seemed to be promised. I'was placed in presence of a question of duty and honour, and if I had taken into ac count, in my resolutions, the greatness of the peril which might await us, my former companions in arms of the French:army would have disowned me."

PLYMOUTH, WEDNESDAY, 7 A.N. Two or three strange ships arrived iu the Sound early this morning, supposed to be the Hero, Ariadne, and Flying Fish. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Although seamen are well aware that a " hard hearted" easterly wind often prevents sailing ships from entering our channels during even several weeks, and that there is now no sufficient cause for anxiety respecting the Royal Squadron, questions are asked daily to which the following well-timed letter from Captain Maury, the celebrated Director of Navigation, may afford a sufficient answer. While the well-known " liners" crossed the At lantic as packets their passages against easterly winds such as have prevailed lately used to vary from2o to 30 days, and finer or better managed ships seldom sailed. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Nov. 13. R. FITZROY, Rear-Admiral. " Everall's Hotel, Albemarle-street, Nov. 13. "My dear Admiral,—l sailed from New York in the Bremen steamer New York on the 27th ult., and put into Plymouth yesterday for coals. " I find some surprise expressed at the non arrival of the Royal squadron, with the Prince of Wales and suite on board. " I do not think there is the least cause of uneasi ness owing to this circumstance, for the weather has been such as to render it simply impossible for a vessel with only auxiliary steam poiver, which I understand the Hero has, to make any headway at all. "We met these easterly winds 10 days ago, when we were not halfway across, with a high barometer and a mottled sky. They blew strong and steadily, not furiously ; but they raised a high sea, such that canvas, even with auxiliary steam, could not do more against than simply hold its ov. " Therefore, while we may look for the arrival of the Royal squadron every day, I should not be at all surprised if it did not arrive as long as these strong easterly winds last, and even for some days afterwards, for I doubt whether the squadron, sup posing it has not run down to the southward for a port or for better weather, is much nearer these shores than it was on the day it encountered those easterly winds with heavy head seas.—Yours truly, "M. F. MAURY, United States Navy. " Rear-Admiral Fitzroy." THE BRITISH CONSULATE AT ALEXANDRIA. Tha Shipping Gazette publishes the following extract from the official logbook of the English brig Galatea, Captain James B. Apter, which brings a serious charge against some of the officials at the British consulate, Alexandria : " Saturday afternoon, Consulate.—Finished load ing yesterday, and this morning cleared, Oct. 20, 1860, Alexandria, with the merchant Felix Gibara. About 12.30 I went to the consulate to get my papers, in company with Capt. Press, of the Isis, of Yarmouth. When we arrived there was only one clerk in the office, reading the El Koran, on the sofa. We told him our business, and asked him as a favour to do it for us. He said the other clerks had not come, and told us to wait their arrival, which would be soon. - About three• quarters of an hour after another clerk came, to whom we told our business, and who transacted it for Captain Press ; the latter then left the office. This clerk also told me that the one who did my business had not arrived, but was expected soon. At 2 p.m. I asked again when this clerk was coming, and was answered ' Very soon.' I said I wanted to get to sea that evening, and requested him to give me the clearance, as I was very busy and short of time, but he replied it was not his business, and would not do it. You must wait till he comes,' he added. I waited till 3 p.m., and on asking again I was answered, ' Go, and see.' I looked out, but no one was there. I heard afterwards that he was up stairs with the consul. I asked the clerk present if he would kindly send for him, as I had been waiting since half-past 12 to clear the ship, and could not attend to my business if I was detained much longer. An Arab said the clerk would be down soon. The above message was repeated several times be tween 3 and 4 o'clock, and with the same result. At 4 o'clock I asked if I was to be kept there all day, and said it was quite a nuisance, my vessel must lie here till Monday through this lax way of doing business, whilst on Monday I ought to he 300 miles towards home. The clerk I found at the con sulate on my arrival answered that he would put me out of the office if 'I did not hold my tongue ; to which I replied, Give me the papers, and I will go out with pleasure.' He then got up, and ordered four Arabs to put me out. Two caught hold of me, but I pushed them back. The clerk, a tall man, , seized me by the throat, but I collared Lim. At the same time the Arabs took hold of my arms, and re , leased the clerk, who then struck me on the face and head more than a dozen times, while the Arabs still held me, two at each arm, so that I had no chance of defending myself; and no Englishman was there 'to see fair play. I was covered with my blood, and had my clothes torn. During the time I was thus cowardly handled, £2, which I had brought to pay the consular fees, were knocked out of my pocket. They then pushed me outside the office door, and I was not -allowed to look for my money until some time afterwards, when it could not he founcl.—Jas. APTER, master of the brig Galatea." " Consulate, Alexandria, Oct. 24, 1860.—Kirwan Joyce, an English gentleman, formerly commander of the Alexandrian police, and now trading in the Red Sea and Abyssinia, to whom I was recom mended, went with me to the British Consulate to day, and requested in writing an interview with the consul, stating that he came with me to have jus tice done for the assault I had received in his office. One of the Arabs, who held me the day I was struck, took the note upstairs, and returned immediately, saying in my presence, in the name of the consul, that the row in question has nothing to do with K. Joyce. The consul refused to see me when he heard what I ealled for.—Jas. APTER, master of the brig Galatea." DEATH OF MR. G. M. BUTT, Q.C.—We regret to announce the death of Mr. George Medd Butt, Q.C., for merly M.P. for Weymouth, which event occurred at his residence in Eaton-square on Sunday last. The deceased gentleman was the son of Mr. John Butt, of Sherborne, and in early life practised for some years with great success as a special pleader. In 1830, being then 33 years of age, he was called to the bar by the Hon. Society of the Inner Temple, and went the Western Circuit, where he soon rose into reputation, and acquired an extensive practice. In 1845, during the Chancellorship of Lord Lyndhurst, Mr. Butt was made a Queen's Counsel, and shortly afterwards was elected a bencher of the Inner Temple. At the general election in July, 1847, Mr. Butt offered his services to the electors of Weymouth, but was defeated, losing his elec tion, however, by only three votes. In July, 1852, he again stood fir Weymouth, and this time with more success, as he was at the head of the poll, the other candidates being Col. W. Freestun and Mr. Oswald. Mr. Butt during the time he was member for Weymouth was rarely absent from his Parliamentary duties, and was a frequent speaker, al though he never addressed the house at any great length. He professed adherence to the Conservative party, but was opposed to the re-imposition of a duty on foreign corn. Ike was in favour of Mr. Spooner's annual motion for an inquiry respecting Maynooth, and was so far a Reformer that h n e de sired the removal of all serious blots and anomalies thatthe representative system. It was confidently expect ed Mr. Butt would have been raised to the judicial bench dur ing Lord Derby's tenure of office, but his chancen: . v i e le r w came. In private life, and in the profession of hie some was a member, Mr. Butt was held in high esteem. m also t stated HoTpeHhEasG withdrawnitEaTEA fSTrEeßmN.t—heli board isu of der dr s i to e o e d ti,ler h sh a, oa t f Mr. the great ship, or that, if he has not already . retired, in timated his intention of short e l that the vacancy in the board weeks since of Mr. Crosskey has been accepted by Mr. F . shortly d s o e l d doing gy so. the r l e t ti i r s e Company, Cooke.

MURDER IN SCOTLAND.—At a late hour last (Monday) night we received intelligence of a shocking m urder, perpetrated on Sunday night in the usually quiet village of Alexandria, Vale of Leven, Dumbartonshire. The details which have reached us are comparatively meagre, but from what we have been abl e t o l earn it appears tat the fatal deed was the result of a quarrel between two men, whose names have not been ascertained, the one a shoe maker and the other a mason's labourer. The men, whe are stated to have been Roman Catholicsand fellow-lodgers, were on Sunday night conversing together on the merits of Garibaldi, when a viol en t a lt erca ti on arose b etween th e two, terminating in a fight, which their landlord thought better should be finished outside the house. They accord• ingly proceeded to the street, and there renewed the ccnflict, which, however, was soon brought to a fatal conclusion by the labourer stabbing his antagonist in the abdomen with a knife. Returning into the house the labourer intimated that he had put an end to all opposition in the future from his companion, when the landlord rushed out and discovered the body of the unfortunate shoemaker stretched lifeless on the street. The murderer was arrested, and has been lodged • in the prison at Dumbarton. It is unnecessary to add that the occurrence hascreated amost painfuleensatiou through- ' out the Vale —.Arorth Pritish Ni(,o S.PORTING INTELLIGENCE. SIIREWSBTJRY AUTUMN MEETING—TUESDAY.

The Census will be taken by two distinct departmental under the powers conferred by this act of Parliament, the one applying exclusively to Ireland, the other being applicable to England, Wales, and Scotland ; the islands in the British Seas through the medium of the Home Office and the English Central Office. The machinery by which the objects will be obtained in England and Wales is basedi upon the subdivision of the country, as introduced by thei Poor Law and Registration Acts. There are 624 registra tion districts,each having a superintendent registrar, which. districts will be divided into about 2,190 sub-districts, each having a local registrar of births and deaths. These sub districts will be for the purposes of the Census again divided into about 32,000 enumeration districts, each hav ing one enumerator, who will be required to complete his enumeration in one day. Public institutions, such as workhouses, prisons, asylums, hospitals, &c., containing above 200 inmates will be visited by the Master, Gover nor, or head of the establishment, and those containing less than 200 will be visited in the usual way by the enu• merator. In this manner the whole surface of the country will be divided into suitable districts. Provision will be made for obtaining an account of all persons residing on land, as well as of persons on board of vessels in harbours and navigable rivers, through the ships of the Royal navy and the Admiralty, and, all other vessels through the offi cers of the Customs. The first proceeding of the enumera tors will be to deliver, in the course of the week preceding the Ist of April, 1861, to every occupier of a house or tene ment a "householder's schedule." The schedule will be the form which every occupier will be required to fill up with correct particulars concerning the name, relation to head of family, condition, sex, age, occupation, birthplace, &c., of every person who abode and slept in the house en the 31st of March, 1861, distinguishing how many of them are blind or deaf and dumb. For the use of the poorer native population of Wales a certain number will be printed in the language of that country. On the l s t o f April, 1861, the enumerators will visit every dwelling house and collect the schedules which they had left. It then will be their duty to see that the sch e d u l es have been properly ascer ontai by inquirynthat no per son who filledabod ue in and the to house the previous vious night has been omitted, and that no person then ab sen t was included. The process of the en umera t or b e i ng completed by the collection of the scheduled, the enu merator will then copy the same into a book, and make a total of the number of persons, houses, &c., and then for ward them to the registrar by whom he was instructed. An examination and revision of the documents will then be made by the registrar, and subsequently by the superin tendent registrars, after which the returns will be trans mitted to the Census-office in London, there to undergo a final revision. In Scotland the Census will be taken through the a gency of the s h er i ffs o f count i es, their depu ties, and the provosts, and other chief magistrates of burghs, by whom the enumerators will be appointed. This requires the service of about 1,000 dividers or superinten dents and of 8,000 enumerators, who proceed in the same manner as in England and Wales. In addition to this the number of seamen abroad or at sea in her Majesty's service, or in British merchant vessels, are obtained by the Regi stration-office of Merchant Seamen and the Admiralty ; of the army, from the Commander-in.-Chief, and the Europeans in the East India Company's service ; and of British subjects residing in various foreign. States, by the Foreign-office. Within three months after the taking of the census all the householders' schedules, amounting to between 4,000,000 and 5,000,000 distinct re turns, with the enumerators' books, will have been received at the Census-office, and in June or July following a state ment of the gross population and number of houses, with the distribution of the people, &c., will be communicated to her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment, who will immediately give publicity to it. Some faint idea of the labour that will be incurred in taking the census of 1861 may be formed from the fact that in 1851 there were 30,610 enumerators, independent of the 2,190 local registrars and superintendent registrars employed in the revision and examination of more than 2 0,000,000 eat tries, contained on upwards of 1,2 50 , 000 pages, and the weight of the paper used by the enumerators for schedules and books in Great Britain exceeded 52 tons.
