Rear-A , liniral Charles Stewart died on the 6th inst., aged 91, at Border Town, New Jersey. He was born in Philadelphia, July 28, 1778, and en tered the naval service of the United States, March 1798, as lieutenant, being not quite twenty years old, and was assigned to the frigate United States, making his first cruise with Commodore Barry. In 1800 he captured the French schooner Two Friends, of eight guns, the action lasting scarcely ten minutes, and the French privateer Diana, of fourteen guns, also after a short action. Lieutenant Stewart was promoted to first lieutenant and ordered to the frigate Constellation, employed in the blockade of Tripoli, in 1802. He was then appointed to the command of the brig Siren, belonging to the squad ron commanded by Commodore Preble, and parti cipated with that officer in the naval operations of 1804 against Tripoli. He supported the gallant and successful attempt of Decatur to destroy the grounded American frigate Constitution, participated in the attacks on the city and its defences, and for his services in the bombardment of Aug. 3, 1804, was thanked by Preble in general orders, promoted to the rank of commander, and at the conclusion of the war returned to New York in command of the Constel- lation. Shortly after he was appointed to the command of the Constitution. The cruise of the Constitution is memorable. February 20 she fell in with the Bri t'sh ships Cyane and Levant, heavier in metal, fought the triangular battle by night and captured them both. Civic honours were bestowed upon the victorious captain by New York and Philadelphia ; Congress voted him a gold medal and silver ones to his commissioned officers, and passed a vote of thanks to him, his officers, and men ; and the Le gislature of Pennsylvania voted him a gold sword. In 1857 he was placed on the retired list, and though again placed by special act on the active list, was not long since relieved from command. He was buried on the 11th inst. at Philadelphia with imposing ceremonies, the Governor of Pennsyl- vania and many of the most distinguished of the Army and Navy bearing the pall. The Secretary of the Navy left Washington to be present, and by his order the bureaux were closed, the flag dis played at half-mast, and minute guns fired, which also are to be fired by American vessels in foreign waters on the news reaching them. Major-General John E. IVool, who died at Troy, New Yolk, on the 10th November, was born at Newburgh in that State in 1789. - His first pursuit in life was pro prietor of a book store in Troy, but having lost his stock by fire he studied law till the war of 1812, when ho obtained a commission in the 13th Infantry, r.pidly rising to the rank of Brigadier-General and Inspector General of the whole army. In 1832 he was sent to examine the military systems in Europe, and was present at the siege of Ant werp. On returning he inspected the coast defences from Maine to the Mississippi. In the Mexican war he orga nized and despatched from the west 12,000 troops, and at the head of 3,000 crossed the Rio Grande, marching 900 miles, scarcely losing a man and preserving the good will of the people. He selected the ground of Buena Vista, and commanded in the earlier part of the engage ment till General Taylor's arrival, who spoke highly of his serv:ces. He was promoted to Major-General, and on the return home of General Taylor commanded the army of occupation. Never was a bet er instance given than that then furnished by General Wool of how Mexico ought to be governed. The country was cleared of rob bers and guerillas, and more perfect order enforced than is found in the United States. He afterwards commanded in the Department of the East. In the three months' cam paign in 1856 he ended the Indian disturbances in Wash ington and Ore lon. On the outbreak of the Civil War he organized, equipped, and sent to Washington the first re giment of Volunteers from New York, and by reinforcing Colonel Dimick at Fortress Monroe saved it from the Confederates. Shortly after he was sent there as Com mander of the Department of Virginia, whence ho marched on Norfolk. After being promoted Major-General in the regular army he was transferred to the command of the Middle Department, with head-qmirters at Raltimoro, and on the close of the war was retired. He was considered the best organizer of a military force in the United States. The late George Peabody's tomb 's in Harmony Grove Cemetery, Salem, Massachusetts. His nephew, Mr. Peabody Russell, ha.; arrived in Eng land as the nearest male relative, and he will escort the body to its last resting place. Ile has already inspected the arrangements made in the Monarch, and a cabin in that vessel has been allotted to him. The grave in Harmony Grove was selected by Mr. Peabody many years ago. It is a beautiful ceme tery, and many of his kindred are there buried. The first money earned by the philanthropist was for ballots written for the Federal4arty in New bury port. James Read, of Boston, was the first merchant who gave him credit, and the transaction led to a long business connection, and a lasting friendship. As a lad Mr. Peabody's company was sought, and there are men livin g who have contributed to pay his share of juvenile parties rather than be without his society. During his first residence in London he lived very frugally, breakfasting at his lodging and dining at a club, expenses for ten years averaging £6OO. He was a beautiful penman, and wrote straight to the point, receiving a high compliment from Chief Justice Shaw, who asserted that a document written by him was one of the clearest and most comprehensive papers ever presented to the Supreme Court. His benefactions towards and earnest interest in the progress of edu cation may have arisen from feeling the want of these advantages, hating been taken from school at the early age of eleven. His recorded gifts began in 1851, when he bore the entire expense of arrang ing the American department at the World's fair in London. In the following year he presented his native town of Danvers with $20,000, as a founda tion fund for the " Peabody Institute," which he has since increased to $200,000. He also defrayed the entire expenses of the second expedition in search of Sir John Franklin. In 1857 he made his first endowment ($200,000) of the Balti more (Maryland) free library, to which he after wards added $300,000, and again in 1866 $300,000. His donation of $1,750,000 to improve the condi tion of the labouring poor in London was made in 1862, and the systematic charity which he then established has been in successful operation ever since. Mr. Peabody's greatest beneficence in his own country, the Southern Educational Fund, was created in 1866, being at that time $1,000,000, to which $1,000,000 was added in July last, the entire annual revenue being $130,000. Other donations of Mr. Peabody are as follows :—to Phillips Aca demy in Andover, $25,000 ; to the Newburyport Library, $15,000 ; to building a new church in Georgetown, $lOO,OOO ; to a library in the same town, $16,000; to the Essex Institute at Salem, $140,000; to the library at Thetford, Vermont, $5,000 ; to the Massachusetts Historical Society, $20,000; to the Peabody Institute of Archaeology, at Cambridge, $150,000 ; to found a geological branch at Yale College, $150,000 ; to the Maryland Historical Society, $20,000 ; to Washington Col lege, Virginia, $6,000 ; to Kenyon College, Ohio, $25,000 ; for a library in Georgetown, District of Columbia, $15,000; making altogether considerably over $7,000,000. Of his relatives in America he was not unmindful, distributing among them $1,500,000. During the Rebellion he also gave $lO,OOO to the Sanitary Fund. These sums are independent of what may be bequeathed by will, of which it is known that £150,000 has been added to his gift to the London poor. The American papers estimate his estate at $1,600,000, which they assert his will distributes among twenty-nine per sons. The Peabody Institute at Berverly remains closed and draped in black till the arrival of the re mains. The funds for a monument are being col lected and a committee organised, called the Pea body Monument Fund, in New York, each sub scriber paying one dollar. The departure of the Monarch from Portsmouth has been postponed to await the arrival of the United States frigate Rich mond and the other vessels detailed to convoy her. She will not therefore sail before the sth or 6th of December, and as she will coal at Fayal her pas t sage is not likely to be very rapid. The vessel lies The Hon. Robert James Walker, who died at Washington on the 11th inst., was born at Nor thumberland, Pennsylvania, in 1801. He graduated in 1819, studied law and began practice at Phts burgh in 1821 ; removed to Natch, z, Mississippi, 1826 ; elected United States Senator, 1835. His second term, i n 1845, was cut short by President Pol k who appointed him Secretary of the Treasury. In 1857 became Governor of Kansas, which he resigned from political disagreements, and of ter that appeared little before the public. He made a great aJdress, however, in support of the Government on the out break of the war, in Union-square, New York ; and was nominated a delegate to the Philadelphia NA.. tional Union Con vention in 1866. FOREIGN NOTES. THE BRITISH-AILERICAN PROVINCES. A general election has been held in Newfoundland, and it is apprehended that the majority of the members returned will be opposed to confederation. This is a matter of great importance to the other pro vinces, as Newfoundland guards the entrance to the St. Lawrence, and without it the Dominion will be incomplete and 'comparatively insecure. The population of the coun try, which has an area of 3,800 square miles, is only 150,000, and are mainly devoted to seafaring pursuits. The interior of the island is as yet unexplored, as the popula- tion live on the coasts. In one year the sealproduce was sold for a million sterling, and the cod fishery has been known to yield another million. French and American fishermen also obtain large hauls of fish in these waters, and 300 foreign vessels have been seen at one time off the Magdalen Islands. Some apprehensions are entertained of differences arising between the British and American fishermen, as, owing to the abrogation of the Reciprocity Treaty, the Americans have no right to fish within certain limits of the shore, and are by no means disposed to abide by the legal distinction. The Legislature of Ontario is now in session, and many public works of importance are in contemplation, especially the extension of railway lines and the draining of swamp lands. The people manifest great willingness to be taxed for these objects. A CANADIAN FENLiN. Father MacMahon, who was liberated by the Canadian Government after being captured at Fort Erie, has made his appearance as " the martyr and child of freedom" at a New York public meeting. It is generally believed that the clemency shewn to MacMahon was a mistake, and the priest himself seems determined to prove it so. He has made several violent ane inflammatory speeches, openly advocating another alttack on Canada, and promising that he would be found among " the boys in green " when it was undertaken. Twenty-two of the raiders still remain in Canadian keep ing, but the Fenians may derive some consolation for this fact from MacMahon's statistics. He gives the killed and wounded at Fort Erie as "30 of the Irish and 90 of the English forces." THE RUSSIANS IN SAGHALIEN. The Island of Saghalien has long given rise to disputes between the Russians and Japanese, as the boundary is not clearly traced. A short time Ft ice the Japanese sent an embassy to St. Petersburg to remonstrate against the alleged encroachments of the Russian agents. The Russian Government, however, displayed no great willingness to come to a definite under standing, and has since shewn an increasing activity in the occupation of the island. A letter from Hakodate states that a Russian expedition has just arrived at Saghalien, bringing a large number of its criminals detained in Siberia. The position taken up for this convict settle ment is at the extrame south of the island, overlooking the Strait of La Peyrouse. It is believed that this is the first step towards the assertion of Russian supremacy over the whole island. The Japanese Government have appealed to the foreign Ministers to assist them in arrest ing the march of Russia. The English Secretary of Legation, Mr. Adams, was last year despatched by Sir H. Parkes ona mission of observation in the Rattler, which vessel was lost in the service. Conferences have been held respecting the last movement of the Russians, but as the Treaty Powers have declined to guarantee the integrity of the Japanese Empire nothing more serious than a remonstrance is likely to be attempted. The Anglo -Chinese press is not inclined to resent the occu pation of the island by the Russians, as nothing can be more inimical to commercial interests than the present policy of Japan towards foreigners. Hakodate is now the only port into which foreign ships may sail. Linder any other power, the right to trade would be ex tended to every port in the islands. Sir H. Parkes is therefore advised to withhold his intervention until the Japanese prove more amenable to reason. A RUMOURED FRANCO-RUSSIAN ALLIANCE. The selection of General Fleury as the French Ambas sador at St. Petersburg has given rise to many speculations in the Continental press. The unusual course that was pursued in choosing an agent who was not at all accus tomed to diplomatic service justified the belief that a par ticular mission was in view. The question then arose, what could be the scheme which the Emperor would not entrust to the ordinary ambassadors ? According to one account, General Fleury was to persuade the Cabinet of St. Petersburg to join the French Emperor in carrying out the proposal for a general disarmament originally made by the latter in 1863. This plan would necessitate a congress of princes, who were to effect a new balance of power in Europe, founded on new international rights. It seems rather inconsistent with this notion of disarma ment, that the Czar should have ordered an increase in the number of conscripts in Russia and Poland. The enlistment will be the largest that has taken place in the reign of the present Emperor. An alliance with Russia is not regarded favourably by the French, who look upon it as the abdication of a civilised policy and the triumph of the opinions of barbarism. IRE FIJI ISLANDS. The European population of these islands has so much increased, and the settlers have so largely extended their commercial transactions, that the people desire to form a part of a more established community. A public meeting was held at Lavouka to discuss the advantages of being annexed to the American Govern ment. The feeling in favour of England so largely pre dominated, however, that a resolution was passed to the effect that the British Government should be memo rialised on the subject of annexation, and particularly with respect to the Australian colonies. The memorialists declare that English commerce would be damaged if these islands were to fall into the possession of France or Ame rica, and that England has no settlement in the vast space between Australia and Vancouver's Island. All kinds of tropical produce can easily be raised in Fiji, and the growth of sugars and cotton is likely to become very consi derable. The natives of the country are on good terms with the Europeans. THE QUEEN'S SCHOOL. The Queen has a school in Windsor Park, at which about 120 children of persons employed by hex Majesty receive a free education. Thirty boys, and as many girls, selected for th e i r goo d conduct ; are provided with dinner every school-day, and temporary or permanent exclusion from the meal is the punishment generally awarded to misconduct. Twelve boys and as many girls under seven years of age are admitted without the privilege of dinner, to be prepared for subsequent full admission. The boys learn outdoor work in a large garden ; the girls are taught washing, baking, cooking, needlework, and knitting. In short, her Majesty's school is just what every establishment of the kind ought to be —minus, of course, the dinner. SUCKING CRIMINALS. The metropolitan police have just disturbed a re markably promising nest of youths. For some time past, it appears, a gang of some twenty lads, mostly about 15 years of age, have been in the habit of holding a sort of Crusoe encampment under an enclosed arch of the North London Railway. As robberies in the neighbourhood of Dalston, where the rendezvous was situated, have been very frequent of late, a watch was set, and the nest was discovered. A day or two ago fourteen of these lads, together with a few others who have not yet been apprehended, were found seated around two fireg. Fragments of pigeons, fowls, and every d es cription of poultry were lying about ; cooking of some kind had been going on, and the prisoners had evidently just taken a good meal. A pigeon's wing was found on the floor, and this was identified as having belonged to a bird which had been stolen. The police captured nearly the whole gang. A month's imprisonment, and in one instance three months, has been the reward of this imitation of Dick Turpin and other notorieties. The case is another instance of the baneful effects of that species of cheap litera ture which has for its mission the ennobling of crime. The youthful band seem to have prosecuted their work with great success. One day they stole loaves of bread from a baker, another day they varied their fare by a feast of oranges and chestnuts, and birds of different kinds were plentiful. It is not stated whether the heroes ever condescended to eat beef. or 34 5 P' 8; is- IS' :be 311 tee• iille 6051 To ni the ; ,,1r La u, is °I till stilt - 0 a ,p II 3 0. 1 11: 01.! „ Of ffar j Safi' cod er and , 6toa• ,-,--'.
