There, at least, everything was con sidered to be all smooth without any adverse tide or bore rolling unexpectedly. But people very often reckon without their host as much as indi viduals, and John Chinamen has given us another proof of his versatile duplicity. Those who know more of the Chinese character, from " mer cenary trading" with them, always looked upon the late peace as far too good to be true, and recent events now prove their doubts to have been too true. Thns it has often turned out when civiliza tion treats with Barbarism,—as if to show by an example of frankness, how much it trusts to the confidence of human nature by its own generous and undoubting conduct. But there is such a thing as being civil overmuch, more especially when confidence formerly misplaced, had to repent its error. In the present instance, however, there was really no cause to doubt the sincerity of the Chinese, seeing that, having made the Peace, all that was now sought was to have that peace confirmed by the formal sanction to the Treaty by the Emperor of CHINA. Until the ratifi cation of the Treaty there was no treaty at all, such is the modern loophole invented for delay and re pentance, if the weaker party wish to back out I Unfortunately for us the distance between the highest contracting parties in the present instance, seems only to have given additional force to this crooked road to the fulfilment of pledged faith, and the Chinese amply availed themselves of the circum stance. They not only barricaded, as it were, the mouth of the Peiho, or Yellow River, by which access is to be had to Pekin, by driving piles into it at the entrance, but they also placed chains across it so that no vessel could pass ! Nor was this all ; the forts which we took last war and demolished, were all repaired—not only repaired, but strongly and invisibly fortified Indeed, so invisibly, that our Admiral, the French Admiral, and all their sharp ships' crews were unable to perceive any sign of fortification, or detect a single gun mounted on the parapets ! No ; all was dis guised as completely as the guileful character of the Chinese could make it. _ v There seems to be so much mystery about the matter that we refrain from any comment on the conduct of those in command of the expedition — which was merely of a complimentary character to do honour to the Ambassadors on their way to the Imperial Court. The sad catastrophe which ensued —of which we know but little, but that little is so truly disastrous to our hopes—must sooner or later be avenged. Meantime we have to deplore the loss of many brave officers and gallant men, amounting to nearly, ve hundred, with the loss of some gun boats sunk, and several most severely damaged ; indeed, so much so, that the object of the expedition was entirely defeated, and the ambassadors com pelled to return to Shanghai. A rumour was spread that the Ameri can ambassador was received at Pekin. He was one of the neutrals in the former business along with the Russian ! We shall not yet be surprised to learn that the Chinese have taken counsel of both these same Neutrals, and organised their present tactics accordingly. If so, had we not better trust to ourselves in future, and let others work out their own purposes hereafter as best they The Great Eastern seems " born to diffieu' ties," and yet she braves them with heroic sturdiness of heart. If anything great could be achieved without exertion, and that too often, of a desperate mind resolved as fate, greatness would sink to nothing - and be not. Re who attempts anything beyond his fellows is, of course, either a fool or a madman—perhaps both. Indeed few know " - How hard it is to climb The steep where fame's proud temple shines afar, Yet how many have felt the baleful influence of that malignant star which jealousy is ever on the watch to cast on a hapless spirit who endeavours to enlighten the world and benefit mankind by the labours of lonely nights and meritorious days, in the wish for fame, and the accomplishment of the fond ambition of his soul ! Without such aspirations life were not blessed : with them the world has been blessed,7 enligh tened, and glorified in the wondrous achieve ments of Art, Science, and Philosophy. The mishap which for a moment has clouded the progress of the Great Eastern will only eventually tend to prove how success may be achieved in very spite of difficulties. _ A giant may stumble, as a race-horse may trip, but it is only to recover himself, and be again more the cynosure of wondering and applauding eyes. (now living) of the A mo ng the greatest masters science of diplomacy, as expressed by the foreign policy of our English Government, Sir GEORGE HAMILTON SEYMOUR stands forward conspicuously. \ His excellency has long occ upied, in this high in tellectual department, one of the most prominent positions in the estimation of his fellow-ccuntry //len. And deservedly he has so occupied it. His career justifies his reputation.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1859. so long world-famous and so eminently distin guished as Sir HAMILTON SEYMOUR, or Sir HENRY BULWER, or Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE. Lis tening to them upon the subject of their own pecu liar Inetica—it is like lifting the curtain, hitherto hanging in ponderous folds at the porch of some long-concealed arcana. It is like lifting, at last, the ringed-stone of that secret and silibterranean garden of ALADDIN. It is like hitting, at length, upon the magic word, the " Open Sesame," which cleaves an entrance into the hidden cavern of Diplomacy—the true cavern of Trophonius. The opportunity for precisely these kind of wel come and most unlooked-for revelations was actu- ally afforded wily the other day down at Whitby, in Yorkshire. It was upon the occasion of the annual soiree at the local Mechanics' Institute, where, as recently as last Wednesday, Sir HAMIL TON SEYMOUR, in his capacity as chairman, in dulged his hearers by laying bare the guiding principles of his profession. Reading, as we have done, very carefully indeed, and with the liveliest interest well imaginable, the record of these frank and manly observations upon Diplomacy by our great Diplomatist —we cannot however, help acknowledging, atthe close of them all, that Sir HAMILTON appears to us to make teo light altogether of the rare skill attained in this profound science by himself and one or two of his own immediate contemporaries. When, for ex ample, he observed on Wednesday that " Diplomacy was a very embarrassing thing to those not conver• sant with it, but most remarkably simple and easy when they knew how to do it ;" adding that, in point of fact, " there was no mystery, no difficulty at all about it !" We cannot help comparing him in our minds to a HOUDIN, or a Wizard of the North, dazzling our eyes, cheating our senses, be wildering our judgment, and taking our imagina tion captive by some astounding marvel of legerde main—and yet saying to us with a shrug of the shoulders, in the very midst of our astonishment— " It's the easiest thing in the world! you could a do precisely the same thing, if you only knew how !'' In fact, Sir HAMILTON immediately does go on to remark what is precisely the same thing to all in tents and purposes, when he adds that any man of good abilities and close application would suc ceed [viz., as a diplomatist], while [somewhat of a platitude, this !] a person who hoped to lead a life of pleasure would neither manage his own affairs nor those of his country well." It is as much— this—as though a TITIAN or a TURNER were to say—" You can any of you make just as good a Painter as myself ; all you have to do is to watch the face of Nature and master the rules of Art, to get together pigments, brushes, and canvas, a mahl stick and an easel—and lo ! the thing is done, voila tout ! You are a TITIAN ! you are a TURNER !" Or to revert to the very words of Sir HAMILTON— " Diplomacy is most remarkably simple and easy when they [that is, anybody and everbody] know how to do it." Precisely—that is the very point, " When they know how to do it"—when ! But Sir HAMILTON good-naturedly lays down the rules. He says—" The following were the great points which a diplomatic agent was to observe or avoid : 1. The moment he arrived at his post he could not bestow too much care and labour to gain the confi dence of the people among whom he was placed : that was the keystone to the whole. 2. He must bear in mind the country which he represents, and be careful not only to represent the commer cial and political interests, but also the cha racter, the manners,"and the morals of his native land." Admirably explicit, not a doubt of it, but about as encouraging to a would-be diplomatist who has to begin from the beginning as though a master-artist in the presence of a chef d' muvre were to say "Practice !"—(meaning genius)—or as though an engineer, addressing himself to an un scientific audience, were to explain the complicated machinery of a stationary or a locomotive engin • by the one word " Steam." " These," said Sir HAMILTON SEYMOUR on Wednesday evening last, after specifying the two guiding principles of diplo macy just particularised—" these are some of the elements of the diplomatist." We are as wise after this and as advanced as ever. Referring later on to the reputation diplomacy has for secresy, Sir HAMILTON observed—" It had been said that there was a ghost in every house ; the ghost in the diplo matic house was secrecy, but he had never seen it. A distinguished member of the House of Commons had recently asked him confidentially to impart the principle of mystery in his science, and he had some difficulty in assuring him there was really none. The affairs of nations were conducted like those of individuals. When a man wants to sell his estate or his pig, he does not conduct in detail the sales at the market-cross, but meets his friend in the inner parlour and settles the conditions over a glass of brandy-and-water if he has any dust in his throat. The secrets of diplomacy are just this, and to deprive our diplomatist in such transactions of so much secrecy would be to compromise our national interests, to refuse the amount of protec tion which every man but a fool takes care to secure for his own ; and this was his answer to all the ob jections we heard about secret diplomacy. In a word, he wished that any public negotiation should be conducted with the same advantage which a man enjoys in conducting any private transaction. Than which certainly nothing could be more de lightfully naive ! For it is like saying " There is really and truly no secrecy whatever in diplomacy. . . . And surely, having said thus much, it would be the height of folly not to have a certain amount of rational concealment !" There, undoubtedly, was the ringed stone laid bare ! BUT no one could lift it, but one endowed like Sir HAMILTON SEYMOUR ! There was the " open sesame" pronounced—there was the cavern opened to view—BUT lo ! the mystic aperture confronting us was as inscrutably dark and impenetrable as the gulf of Erebus. Our thanks are due to Sir HAMILTON for this— " Diplomacy explaining to the nation 1" But—we can't for the life of us help adding the second line of the familiar couplet— "We wish he would explain his explanation." The writer of a pamphlet now before us—an Anglo-Indian—who has spent ten years in the " covenanted service," fully sustains one of Mr. BRIGHT'S principal representations in his celebrated India speech. Mr. BRIGHT maintained that India was a country too vast in its dimensions, too diver sified in its populations, and with too many inhabi tants, for one Governor-General to administer its concerns satisfactorily. He also maintained that the mere nominal change to Government direct by the QUEEN, while the old directorate was retained under the name of a Council, would prove to be the retention of old and mischievous policies, and leave the great evils of the Government and administra tion inredressed. A glance at the pamphlet of M. N. S., on the Future of India, affords but too obvious corroboration of Mr. BRIGHT'S views. Mr. BRIGHT boldly advocated the division of India into at least three or four Governments—the Punjaub, the North,East, and Scinde, if we remember rightly, to form the fourth. He would thus bring the country under the rule of each Government within the powers of each, and create a wholesome rival' y between four Governors, each responsiblefo r the prosperity and g ood order of his o wn colony. administration It is, indeed, th e bane of Indian THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1859. that every ono almost has too much to do ; that is, if he did it. Hence, in the civil departments work is always hopelessly in arrear, and justice delayed till the very delay becomes a penalty intolerable to the injured party. " One of the crying evils of says M. N. S., "is the very large extent of the districts committed to the charge of the magistrates. [magine one man being held responsible for the safety, the immunity from crime, and the col- Lection of the revenue of the whole of Wales. And yet this is not a greater anomaly than the magistracy and collectorship of Goruckpoor, the extreme points of which are more than sixty miles from the magis trate's office, with a population of hundreds of thousands." And what is the grand error of main- raining but one magistrate for such vast provinces, is also the error in regard to the supreme magis- rate in India. All are overpaid for work beyond their powers. The system, indeed, of individual and personal responsibility for Governors of all grades is adapted to India, because, the natives understand it; but it should be not an extravagantly but reasonably paid service for a reasonable amount of work. The Governor-General is " the referee from all parts of India; he has more work on hand than any Gover nor-General, however herculean, can perform ; he is sadly overburdened ; the consequence is, every department in India suffers from delay." M. N. S. says that Mr. BRIGHT'S opinion, he feels certain, is the correct one ; that it is, as the hon. member maintains, utterly impossible for the Governor-Gene ral to conduct singly the duties of the Governor of our immense Indian empire. The writer, therefore, would have a general reduction of salaries from the Viceroy downwards, but, therewith, a reduction of ;he work to be done to reasonable dimensions. He gives, as an illustration, the task assigned to himself when he must have been, we should think, a young man, as he has now seen but ten years of the service, which is entered very early. These, then,were the duties of a young Englishman among a people of a strange tongue and in a tropical climate : " 1. Magistrate for a population something below 1,000,000 souls, with power to sentence to sev3n years' imprisonment, and to inflict 100 lashes. 2. Collector of revenue, and tax-gatherer for the dis trict (on an average, 30 agricultural suits filed daily). 3. Civil Judge, with power to try civil suits to any amount (about 80 civil suits were filed daily—value of suits from one rupee to one lac and upwards). 4. City tax-collector, and to perform all the duties of municipal committees, sanitary boards, &c. &c. 5. Road overseer, and general architect. 6. Jail superintendent. 7. Treasurer, with an expendi ture of 15 lacs, or £150,000 per mensem. 8. To superintend education and mofussil schools. 9. Surveyor. 10. Miscellaneous duties of all kinds, such as supplying provisions to troops on the line of march, correspondence with superior authorities upon appeals, procedure, dismissals of native ministerial officers, &c. Often as many as 500 letters were written in a month, the ave rage was certainly not, below 10 letters per diem." and he adds that even this does not comprehend all the duties which fall to the lot of district office - 2s, although it illustrates their variety. It is evident that, for the cure of these radical and obvious evils, we must begin at the beginning. A splendid vice-royalty, to restore or build up the fortunes of needy peers like Lord DALHOUSIE or Lord CANNING, is a lucrative convenience that our aristocracy will not easily surrender, not even for the salvation of India. A seat in the superfluously large Council for India, and the extravagantly overpaid covenanted service, are plums which the upper section of the middle classes, who have made India their pre3erve so long, will be fought for with all the influence which a long and splendid patronage has given. It will not be without a struggle that the first elements of good government will be secured for India. They must be secured, however, if we are to escape another mutiny ; if we are to content the country ; if we are to reduce that fatally large native force, which even now exists chiefly to create posts for Anglo-Indians ; and, if we are to have every part of India improved in its government, social con dition, and commerce, as much as the Island of Ceylon, which forms properly the southernmost province of India. Had India been only governed, as it might easily be, on the same reasonable prin ciples on which the Government of Ceylon has been administered, we might by this time, instead of a mutiny and a population ground to the dust by taxation, have had a wealthy country, a reciprocal commerce enriching Manchester, Birmingham, and Sheffield, as well as India ; and instead of an empty exchequer threatening one day to empty ours, a revenue ample for Indian wants, ample to guarantee railroads and irrigation works, and to change the face of the land., We will not at present advert to other wants of India, imperiously as they call for attention, One thing we regard as certain—that we can no longer afford to leave India to Governors-General and Indian Secretaries with their Council. Indian Re form will soon become fully as important, indeed we believe more urgent, than Parliamentary Re form, though the latter ought to be the way to the former. It will not do to go on till an avalanche of Indian Debt suddenly overwhelms our own Exche quer, and then to utter the silly old exclamation — Non puturam ! LATEST NEWS. WAR WITH CHINA. A telegram, of which, as it arrived in cypher, the substance only can be given, was received this morning at the Foreign-office, through Alexandria and Constantinople, from Mr. Rumbold, Secretary to her Majesty's Mission in China, dated Aden, Aug. 29 : Admiral Hope arrived off the Peiho River on the 17th of June, and found that the fortifications had been rebuilt, but no guns or men were visible. The entrance into the river was barred with booms and stakes. The Plenipotentiaries joined the squadron on the 20th, and no notice having been taken cf the announcement of their arrival, an attempt was made on the 25th to force a passage, when on a sudden batteries, supported by a Mongol force of apparently 20,000 men were unmasked, and opened a destructive fire. After a severe action, the squadron was obliged to withdraw, with the loss of the Cormorant, Lee, and Plover, and 464 killed and wounded. The French had 14 killed and wounded out of 60. The Plenipotentiaries have returned to Shanghai Rest of China reported quiet. No fears are entertained about Canton, as the Tartar troops had been disarmed as a matter of pre- caution. A further telegram received from her Majesty's agent and consul-general in Egypt mentions that 7 officers were killed and 17 wounded. Admiral Hope and Captains Shadwell and Vansittart are mentioned as being wounded, but the other names are too obscurely given in the telegram to be safely published. INDIA.

Sir,—l enclose a paragraph taken from the Over land Summary of the Friend of India of the 16th of July relative to her Majesty's ship Sappho, Com mander Moresby, supposed to have long since foun dered on her voyage from the Cape of Good Hope to Australia. All the officers and men had been, of course, given up for lost, but, if any reliance can be placed on this report, they, or at least a portion of them, are still alive. The Admiralty, if in posses sion of such information, ought surely to have made it public as soon as possible. As nothing appears to be known here of the important news I trust you will give it publicity. I am, sir, your obedient servant, Sept. 10. R. S. MOLESWORTH. " Tidings have reached the New Zealand papers of her Majesty's brig Sappho, which was supposed to have been lost on her voyage to Australia. She stranded off an uninhabited island some distance from Sydney, and became a total wreck. The por tion of her crew that was saved formed an encamp ment on the island. A merchant ship, when pass ing, found them in a very distressed condition. The few who had survived the exposure were living on the wild cats and seeds which they found on the island.

The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 29th ult. has the following intelligence from Ceuta : " At half-past 5 p.m. on the 27th the Moors again showed themselves on the heights of what is called Old Ceuta, and made themselves strong behind the walls ; but a steamer and a launch were sent in that direction, and opened a fire, the garrison at the same time firing some shells, which killed 14 Moors, and compelled them to disperse. On the 28th, at the same hour, they again made their appearance, and the same events took place as on the preceding day. Troops were expected to-day at Ceuta, which, according to intelligence received, must have embarked at Alicante." The Chronicle of the Ist publishes the subjoined extract of a private letter from Tangier, dated the 29th ul t. " The affairs of Ceuta have created an inexplicable sen sation at this place. The people of the surounding coun try are determined to shed their blood rather than allow the Spaniards to extend their fortifications. The populace of Tetuan, whose fanaticism and hostility towards Chris tians as well as J ews are so well known, provide themselvos with arms and fly to the assistance of their brethren in what the ' Holy War.' The authorities of Tangier and Tetuan gave orders to the keepers of bazaars prohibiting the sale of powder and ball to the mountaineers who come daily to make purchases; but long before this order was issued, the stock on hand of these articles had already been disposed of to advantage. Guards have also been placed at the gates for the purpose of searching the mountaineers and preventing them from carrying any kind of arms. With respect to the encounters that have taken place before Ceuta nothing positive is known, and consequently I don't communicate the many rumours current on the subject. M. Blanco, the Spanish Charge d'Affaires, who has been at Tetuan for 10 or 12 days, has had several interviews with the Minister, Sidi Mohamed El Katib, and it is believed that they have not come to terms. Whenever M. Blanco had occasion to go out during his .stay at Tetuan he was escorted by a party of soldiers, as the Moors had sworn, 'by the powers of the Prophet,' to stone him to death. This state of things, it is augured, will not end well, particularly on account of the state of panic and perplexity in which the empire is row placed by the illness of the Emperor; but no one is more embarrassed than his Excellency Sidi Mohamed El Katib, owing to the compromises and troubles arising out of those questions." A Tangier correspondent, writing on the Ist inst., says : " I have read in the Chl onicle of the 29th ult. that, in ' the engagements which took place before Ceuta, the Moors were repulsed by the Spaniards, losing a considerabiy larger number between killed and wounded than the latter. Hero the very reverse is stated, as the Spaniards are represented to have been compelled to retire. This version seems the more probable on account of the inferiority of their num bers. The arrival of the Spanish squadron, of which men tion is also made in the Chronicle, is expected here with impatience ; and it is believed that it will obtain as much satisfaction as the squadron of seven steamers which in February last came to this port, when the whole terminated in soft words from the Minister. In order to bring the Moorish Government to their senses it will be necessary to use no other means but the logic of the guns. The presence of such a squadron, instead of in timidating the Moroqueens, would only serve to renew the mockery which these people made of the Spaniards last February, when it was quite a farce to hear them talk and express the most absurd and erroneous notions respecting the Spanish nation ; and, never observing before in their waters a Spanish man-of-war, they run away with the idea that the seven war-steamers which presented themselves at that date were nothing more than hired foreign merchant vessels, engaged for a few days to carry the Spanish flag in order to frighten them. They cannot believe that Spain possesses a single war vessel, and consider it as the least nation of the globe." A letter from Tangier of the 4th says:— " The Spanish war steamer Vigilante reached T etuan from Algeciras on the 30th ult., with despatches for the Minister of Foreign Affairs, which were delivered imme diately by the Vice-Consul. These despatches probably contain some new demand from her Catholic Majesty's Government. It cannot be the ultimatum, as the con sulate here continues its duty without variation. A rumour (which I consider unfounded) has been current here for some days past, to the effect that Sidi Mohamed El Katib, accompanied by the Kaid, was using his utmost endea vours to appease the ICabyles in the vicinity of Ceuta, reminding them that they were committing a great sin in opposing the will of the Emperor; for, accord ing to the precepts of the Mohammedan religion the Sultan is entiled to a blind obedience on their part, as he is considered to be Inspired by the divine spirit, and acts under the express commands of the Almighty ; but, in spite of this, it sews that the other precept, which says ' that he who slays an infidel in the war will gain paradise, has rather more influence over them." Intelligence from Algeciras (published in the Gibraltar Chronicle of the sth) states that two bat talions of light infantry had arrived there in the short space of three days, by rail and , steam, via Alicante, and were, for the present, billeted upon the inhabitants. Other troops were shortly ex pected, which, when they arrived, would be en camped between Algeciras and San Roque. The master of a boat which arrived at Gibraltar on the morning of the sth from Ceuta reported that there had been no firing between the garrison and the Moors on the 2d and 3d. A body of about 1,200 men sallied out on the afternoon of Saturday to make a reconnaisanee, and went as far the place called " La Mezquita" (the Mosque), without meet ing with any Moors. The troops destroyed all the parapets or obstructions in their way, and then ' returned to the fortress without firing a shot. On Sunday afternoon the Moors made their appearance again in front of Ceuta and began to annoy the garrison, which fired several rounds of grape and solid shot at them. THE BALLOT 1N AMERICA. New York Hotel, Leicester-square, Sept. Sir,—l have observed in the English journals recently much discussion on the subject of the bal lot, and frequent allusion to the manner of its uses in America. I think, from what I have read on the subject, that an opinion prevails here which has no foundation in fact, namely, that voting is always done in the United States by " open ballot." This is an error into which your writers have been led, perhaps, by the letter of Mr. Dana, of Boston, which relates, as it professes, only to the small state of Massachusetts. To arrive at such a conclusion, however, they must have forgotten the fact that in America each state fixes for itself the status of its voters and the manner of voting ; and the further fact that very few states have laws similar to Massachusetts to regulate the ballot. In the state of Ohio, where I reside, the ballot is not open as in Massachusetts. The voter appears at the poll with his ballot written or printed, usually printed, and hands it folded to one of the trustees (or judges) of the election, who announce; the voter's name, which is registered by the clerk, and the trustee to whom the ballot was given im mediately deposits the same in the ballot-box ;no one but the Toter himself knowing for whom the ballot was given. The use of different coloured ballots, and of com mittees " dogging" the voter to intimidate him, or influence his vote, referred to by Mr. Dana, as practised in Massachusetts, is seldom resorted to, except in our large cities, in seasons of high poli tical excitement, and then, even, it has had but little influence on the voter. I do not presume to write you this to argue the advantages of the secret ballot, nor to relate the perfection of the system in operation when it has been adopted, but to you, as its champion in thiz, country, I wish to correct a false impression which seems to prevail, that the secret ballot has been tried, and been abandoned as a failure in America. Not so ; it has, on the contrary, been found to work admirably, and I do not know of a single State, save Massachusetts (which always had her eccentri cities), where the system has been tried and not permaneatly adopted. On my return to the States, which will be soon, I intend to look more closely into the history of the ballot in the different States, and will give the re sults to the world. I write you this private note, as a stranger who has a strong sympathy for the cause you have espoused, hoping you may be able soon to effect what you have undertaken, thereby purifying your ballot, and rendering the liberty of the men oc England secure.—l am, &c., 0.

The Royal Mail Steamship Asia, Captain Lott, has arrived with advices from New York to the 34st ult and ,02,450 dols. in specie. The Etna, City of Washington, and Ariel had arrived out. The Bavaria, from Southampton, and the Jason from Galway, passed Cape Racelon the 30th 01 August. Colonel T. B. Shaffner had sailed from Boston in the barque Wyman, on a voyage of exploration to the North Atlantic, in search of a feasible route for a line of telegraphic communication between this country and Europe, by way of Greenland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Scotland ; his object being to examine the seas, the bays, and the lands con templated to be traversed. The papers contain notices of the brilliant ap pearance of the aurora borealis. Disturbances had again broken out in Kansas. A false report had been current in New York of the foundering of the United States' frigate Con gress, with all hands. Damage to the extent of between 100,000 dols• and 200,000 dols. had been occasioned at New Bed ford by fire ; two vessels were destroyed. The Ohio Slate Journal mentions the manumit ting of 21 slaves, men and women, the property of the late Mr. Pleasant Burnet, of Mecklenburg, county Virginia. Only those of his slaves who had served faithfully, and who were capable of taking care of themselves, were manumitted. Some good land and tools were provided for them. Mr. Fortune, in a letter to the Washington Con stitution, says his success in cultivating the tea plant in America far exceeds his most sanguine expecta tions. He also states that the tea plantations in Upper India are succeeding admirably. Vice• President Breckenridge had deprecated the use of his name as a candidate for the Presidency. A negro had made a novel attempt at escape from Sing Sing prison. Being unable to swim he ob taiud a board in which he cut an aperture for his head. Over this hole he placed wires in the form of a hat. He availed himself of an opportunity to leave the prison and after covering the wires with some loose straw he started along the shore in just sufficient depth of water for him to feel the bottom. Unfortunately for him, some boys who were sitting on the bank took a fancy to bring the straw ashore, and the negro, on hearing their intention, aban doned hope and made for land, where be was im mediately arrested. He afterwards escaped again and had not been found. A destructive fire had occurred in Victoria and Gould streets, Toronto. Advices from Venezuela to the 10th ult. state that General Castro, having been detected in an attempt to overthrow the organic law, had been thrown into prison. The Federalists who marched to his release were defeated by the Constitutionalists, and fell back upon La Guayra,,where they were unsuccessfully attacked. The Federal expedition against Puerto Cabello had been arrested by these proceedings. Advices from Havannah to the 24th ult. report that sterling exchange was 14! , to 15,1 premium. The transactions in sugar had not been important, The stock was 235,000 boxes, against 130,000 in 1858, 200,000 in 1857, 215,000 in 1856, and 105,000 in 1855.

FLORENCE, SEPT. 11.—To-day, Signor Ricaso BRITISII INDIA AND ITS FINANCE'' (From the Derbyshire Courier.) The nation has arrived, with ren.ard to British. India, at that grand starting•point a all improve ment in this country, when John Bull opening his eyes, and thrusting his hands reso l u tely into his breeches'- ds sipocets,ifi pron tlounces gncany and that " something must be done." The first thing now in fashion towards doing a geo h a som ething is to appoint somebody with s alary, who is to do wha t- all the nobodies wit good salaries have failed to do. Ministers have caught their somebody. Passing by Lord Elgin, who is too great and too independe hoarepudiating Sir John Lawrence, who is too g , they bas e West pitched upon the arithmetical member for b u ry, Mr. James Wilson. Mr. Wilson is man a of figures ; he has had p ractical experience o f the a dvantages of buying , in the dearest and selling in th e cheapest market ; he knew s a ll about balance; sheets, the price of sto cks, shares, bonds, scrip, anu. omnium. The national balance-sheet of India pre sents an unpleasant array of figures on the wrong side ofthe account, and so who but Mr. James Wilson of the Economist, can put it right ? True, cedents furnish no great security for successful financial arrangement, but let us hope that he may manage the affairs of British India better than be did his own. To the Cutlers' Feast, at Sheffield, therefore, his ante: co mes the Right Honourable James Wilson,ssures " the sec ond person ' Mr. Alderman 'Matthews a us, " in our Indian empire, being , in fact, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer in India." if not e Mr. Wilson's address on the o ccasion novel was amusing- It was the proudeay ei, his life, nothing but the " deepest sense of oddest dduty:, would have induced him to acc e p t his " res ponsibl e — an d lucrative—appointment in India. But India, " the brightest gem in the B ritish Crown 7 was earn danger. Duty !my country ! ten thousand a-y • " Ha! thou hast touched me nearly !" From the poetical and heroic , Mr. Wilson ascend"scend to the financial and the practical. " Gent almy d a y s he says, with a mental glanc e at the p of the Economist, when people believed its and relied on its figures, " gentlemen, facts It lies mere arithmetic. Finance is a great policy'. at the bottom—at the root of government in every country. Without sound finance no good government is possible. Without sound policy no sound finan ce it possible." These are brave words ! Finance lie! finance is not m standing, at the root of good government , an d I, the Rightwhether Honourable James Wilson, a on my head or my heels I have yet scarcely learned, on the top of the financial And what does Mr. Wilson propose to do ? After reading his speech we defy any one to discover the announcement of anything approaching.. to arapro bable solution of the Indian difficulty. Free tde, w orld." Mr. Wilson tells us, is " good all over the Very well—but India must possess trade, before, acres of rich land uncultivated, with that Lade can be made free. With raillions 0, tens 13 millions of natives willing to work, but at present scarcely clothed at all, fed on vegetables or rice, paid a penny or twopence a day for their labour, and oppressed and pillaged, poor as they are , by extortionate tax-gatherers ; something far mor e free practical than the abstract financial p in any trade is required before the first step in anY gee lioration of their condition can be effected. We agree with what is said by Mr. Wilson of the importance of giving Christianity to the nati vee ; This is most important. Let us trust that 0. 1 , 1 1 schoolmasters, missionaries, clergy,.and bishops will, as years roll on, effect most beneficial improven3enl' a little among the native population in this direcion; But this will be a very gradual and protrac.ea process. We do not send out Mr. Wilson to but to rectify the finances of India, in culcate the principles of the Christian religiO3.! with as little delay as possibl. Then there is "t 3 difficulty of caste," of which Mr. Wilson's kl i c e i s( o ledge must be of a very limited nature. He re ' e- ad further, to railways, steam navigation, an d the ministration of equal justice. We are already eella tributing largely to the two former objects, a li o. Mr. Wilson can teach little to such men as Sir C• Trevelyan about the administration of justice. -"'' - o so Mr. Wilson, after uttering the absurd asserticali. and to do.i: that Peel put our finances in " a flourishing ea l 4 lion," falls back on the hope that " the improvvs fiscal and commercial legislation" which, be s i a ii i ; has done so much for England, may succeea _d India in replenishing an exhaus ted exche q uer, eel. raising the social condition of 200 millions u natives. ,i!We will endeavour to give a more definite (.)1)..i; nion on the financial requirements of India tea has been given by Mr. Wilson.

The monstrous absurdity of paYl n g_ the army and collecting the taxes in two.shlline pieces is too barbarous to be retained. paper pieces is now recognised as a necessity for British India.
