That a seriou s rupture between England and the United States Should placetakeo would beone of the most-to-b e . regretted A vast ocean rollsevents that could possibly occur. between the two great nations, but Steam has bridged over the distance, and we are c onnected, also, by bteieaof blood, associations, by similar i ns titutions, by community i l a nguage, by sameness of origi n , O ur l aws , our by similarity of literature are common to b a W e are proud of th e great people , sprung from ourselves, who battled b rave ly for the boon of li berty, but did not not shake off in their victory their hereditar y feelings and respect for what, to this hour, they are fond o f of regard calling " the O ld Country."

The Americans think that the concession of 1844 has been withdrawn in 1852, and,w erethisso, o th f no eyh ti a c v e e . 'erne cause for complaining of shortness They do complain of r large squadron being collected to enforce the stipulations of the treaty of 1818, but it appears that most of this squadron consists of vessels belonging to the regular West Indian and North American fleets, which have gone to the shores of Nova Scotia, because Halifax is their usual summer head-quarters. There were a few smaller vessels sent for the purpose of protecting our fisheries, but their advent, and its cause, was duly notified to the Ame rican Government nearly three monthe ago. It may be asked—why all this pother about the right of fishing within a certain limit ? The Bay of Fundy abuts upon the American state of Maine, and occupies, as clearly belonging to, the south of the British line of coast. In the Conven tion of 18] 8 this bay was n ot particularised r by name, it being then admitted to be our exclusive property. It was only by the concess i on of 1844 that the Americans got o ur leave to fish therein, observing the three-mile limit. For years before that concession American fishing vessels, from time to time, were seized for fishing in the bay and con demned adcordingly. Since 1844, by i our permission, but not as their own right, the Amer i cans hare fished within the bay. By degrees, encroaching more and more every year, they have come nearer and nearer to the shore, and got into the best of the British fishing ground, until, at last, our colonial fishermen have become more and more urgent on our Govern ment to give them protection and relief. Be it known that, in our North-American fisheries the United States and our Colonies meet on very un equal terms. Our fishermen cannot sell their produce in the United States without paying a duty of 20 per cent., while the American fishermen are benefited, by a bounty derived from that 20 per cent. paid by by us. This is a vicious system, which, as Free-traders, we cannot too much con demn. Indeed, the wisest statesmen in America are aware of this, and the United States' Committee of Customs have set about reforming it. The present misunderstanding may somewhat retard the desired adjustment, but it has been proposed, and will pro bably ultimately be acceded to, that there shall be an interchange, duty free, of all articles, the pro dace of the sea, the field or -the forest, between the British American colonies and the United States, provided the British Government concedes to the latter the free navigation of the St. Lawrence and the St. John, and gives all parties a common right of taking and curing fish along the coasts of the Nora.; American continent. No difficulty need be anticipated in the settlement of the present dispute. The Americans are clearly in the wrong. The Convention of 1818 has clearly defined the boundaries within which, on our line of coast, American vessels were prohibited from entry. " except for supplies of wood and water, and for no other purposes whatever." The Americans gradua'ly intruded ; until in 1841 Lord PALMERSTON took the opinion of the Crown lawyers on the treaty, and was informed that its legal construction was an actual prohibition save within the named limits. Lord ABERDEEN, in 1844, included the Bay of Fundy as a place within which the Americans might fish—that is, by a Note to the American Ambassador, and with out the consent or even the knowledge of Parliament, he actually abandoned important treaty rights t Thi concession appears to have been nearly unknown i n this country until now, when it is brought forward by the American Secretary of State! But, whatever the concession, it does not allow the Americans to fish in the Bay of Fundy within three miles of the shore, and the seized schooner was captured within a musket-shot thereof. The matter is capable of being easily and speedily adjusted. There is the chance—it is but a chance, we hope—that the British and the Americans may have some casual encounter, out of which a real quarrel may spring. One cannon-ball discharged with a hostile intent may plunge two great nations in the horrors of war. A very small amount of diplomatic tact, some forbearance of temper, and a moderate exercise of common sense, are the elements, wielded by any two rational men, from both countries, which can settle this dispute better than gunpowder and bayonets. It is earnestly to ba hoped that the misunderstand ing about the North British American Fisheries may now be regarded as on the eve of an amicable settle ment. A plenipotentiary of no less importance than Mr. Thomes BARlNG—Member of Parliament for Eluntingdon, and partner in the eminent house of BARING BrOther3—appears to have been promptly instructed by the Cabinet to proceed forthwith to al, United States. His departure for New York took place on Saturday in a steam-vessel from Liverpool. Had Sir HENRY BULWER still continued at Washington as her Britan nic MAJESTY'S Ambassador, Ministers would have found no necessity for resorting to any such unusual means of negotiation. The ill-will excited between the English and American Governments by recent events in the Bay of Fundy would, under those circumstances, have been very speedily brought to a happy conclusion. As it is, Sir HENRY Wa, Lately enabled by his removal to Florence to close with very admirable rapidity the protracted and distressing correspondence in re 4ard to the MATHER question between our own IA the Tuscan Government. Let us hope that, with scarcely less facility, the same good effect may be produced by Mr. THOMAS BARING in the course of his new and somewhat difficult enterprise. Now the subject is going to be brought into serious dis cussion among the statesmen of the United Kingdom and the United States, we must cherish a hope, moreover, that the whole of the complicated and absurd system hitherto existing in reference to the British North American Fisheries will be at length definitively re-organized. Against the powerful competition of United States' fishermen a new scheme of bounties might be judi ciously adopted by the DERBY Administration. Be yond this much benefit might be secured by the 'ecognition of the merits of—Reciprocity. Vir hat will be the effect of the gold discoveries in California and Australia ? There is no interroga tory On which the putlic mind is more intent than the Gtsh.-_,ve, which h as been frequently discussed in our columns. It is., indeed, a momentous question, on the true con a t ructice whereof the welfare and pros perity, not only of 'the British nation, but of the civi lised world, must greatly depend. It is certain that the precious metrds have recently been obtained in a lmest incredible quantities, and with facilities previ ously unheard of. Nor is there 1 falling snort. From the Host prospect aceurate o infor m the supply reached .tion that ha's . this country, it-may safely be auriferous which • it is impossible to assign boundaries, asserted that there is an immense extent of • soil to snore than probable that the pr o d u C tion of bullion will and it is l increase in a ra p idl y a ugmenting ratio, when the skilled i labour and improved machi nery sent out by the e different gold mining companies shall b e brought into operation. The annual yield of gold h as be the va lue of the p roduc e venture to say what already been more thanm quadrupled, and no one can ay a few years hence—save it is at present. N o w, as the entire amount of bullion a lr ea dy in circulation less thanl x'on in t he world is c that it certain l y will no t be generally estimated at a bout 400,000, 0001 . for the present 3 terling, and that the increase year is calculated at about 40,000, 0001., or 30,0,00,000/. more than the average amou nt obtained in the beginning of the century, a nd which aso out supplied the consumption occasioned by iv 3 . use for other purposes than currency, and tne wear and tear of the coirrige, it may eerily be conceived how vast must be the augmentation, and now soon a sensible difference mu s t b e perceptible \ in th e purc h as i ng power o f t h e sovere i gn.

In thin, however, we arp greatly improved editi on o f a assisted b y a new and very work,* to which, on its first appearance, we had the pleasure of directing the p u bli c a tt en tion. Alr. W YLD has indeed rendered important" service, not merely to those who contemplate the assumption of " the pick axe" and " cradle," or wh o m a y have friends or relatives thus occupied, b u t t o th e commu- LONDON, nity in general. He tells us (and the ; accuracy of the information is unquestionable) of the general distribution of gold throughout the world, the localities in which it may be found, and the causes of the large deposits, so that reasonable data are 'given as to whether the cost of working in -any particular spot will he fairly remunerated. The pamphlet contains a very interesting intro• duction on the gold question, which will give a fair idea of the subject to those who have hitherto been deterred from entering on the consideration by its difficulties. It cannot, of course, be supposed that he has entered at any length into the subject of " cur rency ;" a larger volume would be necessary. On that disputed topic Mr. WYLD briefly narrates the necessity for a representative and measure of value, and the reasons which led to the substitution of the precious metals for the flicks previously used for that purpose. The scarcity and irregularity of the supplies, in the earlier periods, are ex plained, until the Phoenicians " set them selves orderly to work to carry out the mining of the precious metals on a great scale," and thus gave a powerful stimulus to advancing civi lization. The discovery of the western world consti tuted a new era in monetary history, materially in fluencing the destinies of mankind, and opening new fields for enterprise. On these points, Mr. WYLD touches lightly but efficiently-, arriving at the hopeful conclusion that the chief immediate results will be a greatly increased commercial activity, and a vastly increased demand for English manufactures by the opening of new markets. His arguments are ex ceedingly ingenious, but although these results will unquestionably follow, there will, we are firmly con vinced, also be a marked alteration in the value of money—the purchasing power of the pound Sterling will be gradually but steadily reduced, just as it has been augmented since the termination of the war by the unfair and impolitic contraction of the circu lating medium, under the operation of our monetary code. a nd The geology of gold is also briefly explaine d, , he causes of the rich sands and earth, from when ce it has been hitherto obtained in the largest quantities. Mr. WYLD thinks that it is to " the heaps of o ld detritus resulting from the breaking down o f moun tain sides by former great convulsions, as w ell as to the banks of the rivers, which flow through such accumulations, that we have to look for the most pro fitable supplies of gold." He says—" A drift result ing from the former abrasion of the surfa ce of gold bearing rocks is a natural mining operat ion, which was carried out upon a large scale thousands of years Igo; and so far as the superficial supplies of gold are concerned, it is likely to be Inctive than any immediate working mo re pro " a. gold drift is, indeed, the result of a gig antic gold washing, and credulity might well dre am it to be the labour of elfin workmen. The di stinction be tween " the dry diggings" and " w et diggings," or, in t h e rocks. in other words, between the more an cient and the comparatively modern deposits, is pointe d out, "the dry diggings being in the old drift on the higher banks, while the wet diggings are in the beds of the rivers." The mode of working is also pointed out, clearly indicating the.value of mutual co-operation and combined exertions, and the comparative unpro luctiveness of isolated exertions, however strenuous , r indefatigable. The chief subject, however, is the topography of the gold regions ; and this is patiently and carefully developed by the practised hand of the accomplished geographer. Not only is this clearly explained in the text, but it is illustrated by five ex cellent maps, showing the gold districts of the world, and more in detail those of Aus tralia—particularly those from Bathurst to Sydney and those of Victoria —also the gold dis tricts of California. Mr. WYLD has indeed supplied a want seriously felt, and we are convinced that his labours will be duly appreciated and handsomely re warded by all those interested in the topic—including the statesman, the merchant, the skilled mechanic, the under-fed husbandman, and (even) the starving beggar."

We hive received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. By submarine electric telegraph we learn the fol lowing few particulars of the fete of yesterday. PARIS, AUG. 15, 10 A.m. The PRINCE has just arrived at the Madeleine, a midst .the acclamations of an enormous mass of people. The spectacle was splendid ; the regiment of Guides, a regiment of Lancers, the Municipal Guard, mounted 4nd dismounted regiments of the line, and the Na tional Guard on horseback and on foot, formed the cort4e. Not the least remarkable were about a nuudred old soldiers of the empire, in the various uniforms of that day. The Panscelooked very well. The weather is gloomy, with small rain at times, and a tendency to wind, but it does not yet look like a settled wet day. HALF-PAST Two, P.M. The PRINCE PRESIDENT has reviewed the National Guard, and distributed to them the eagles. He W 45 received with warmth, and has just re- Lurned to the Elyse?. The weather is finer. SEVEN O'CLOCK. The review passed off admirably. The PRINCE PRESIDENT was received with accla , mations of enthusiasm, and cries of " Vive Napo leon!" " Vive rEmpereur !" The naval combat is just finished, without ac cident. _ The Moniteur announces that free pardon or com mutation of punishment will be granted to 1,200 po litical and ordinary convicts, as well as to mitor offenders. _ _ _ A fire broke out on Friday night in the Palace of the Elysee, in consequence of the overheating of a stove, which had been lighted in order to dry the newly-finished paintwork, in readiness for the recep tion of the PRINCE, who had decided on sleeping in town to-night, preparatory to the proceedings of to morrow. The PRINCE'S private apartments are completely burnt, as well; as those of M. MOCQUARD, his private secretary and chef du cabinet, and a number of papers, it is said, have been de stroyed. Fortunately, no life was lost, nor personal injury sustained. General D'Oava.rio, Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, has succeeded the late Marechal EXELMANS as Grand Chancellor of the Order. The decree of the PRINCE, conferring the appointment upon the General, appears in this day's Moniteur. In its sitting of the day before yesterday, the Council of Arrondissement of Douai adopted the following, re solution : _ _ _ Vv " The Council, deeply impressed with gratitude fur the immense service rendered to the cause of society at large by the act of the 2d of December, unanimously beg M. le Sous-Pre'et to make known, in the proper quarter, the assurance of its loyal concurrence mith the Government, and the expression of ita devotion to the person of Prince Louis Napoleon." The Moniteur contains a " communicated" note in these words :—" Several journals have announced that M.

" With such MONDAY EVENING, speed, and so strohgly armed, the Napoleon," the M on iteur adds, " would off a r, in case of war, the cer tain weans of maintaining the communications of France with her colony in nor thern Africa." The Moniteur says—" After having obtained at Tripoli the satisfaction which it had the mission to e xact, the squadron of evolutions proCeEded towards Tunis, and anchored in the roadsted on the 2d. At that date the health of the Bey of TUNIS gave great (Faquietude ; he had been attacked with apoplexy. Paulin opinion was occupied with the choice of his successor. Two pretenders appeared to aspire to the Government of the Regency ; the brother of the Bey of TUNIS and his cousin-german. The former has the sympathies of the Prince ; the latter, according to the Mussulman law, is the presumptive heir. But still the succession is not yet opened. The last news of the BEY was satisfactory ; be was expected at the Goulette. The Commander-in-Chief of the squadron, on quitting Tunis, will leave the Caton."

ITALY. A letter from Genoa, in the Courier de Lyon, says : —" A secret affair, which is not without a certain in t.rest for France, is the subject of attention at Rome. The twenty-two convents of Dominicans have raised an imeute which has necessitated the most rigorous measures on the part of the POPE. His Holiness hEs dismissed the superiors of them as the most guilty in this rebellion. Father JANDEL, of Besancon, a Frenchman, was the involuntary cause of this affair. A. little time after the return of the Pope Pius IX. from Portici, the s uperioregeneral of the order of Dominicans being dead, the convents prepared to elect a successor to him. The POPE informed them that their proceedings were useless, as he had chosen Father JANDEL, Dominican of the province of France, es their superior-general. This was contrary to their rights and usages, but the POPE being absolute master, he had the power of proscribing e le c to ra l forms, even in religious communities. The Italians have a great hatred for foreigners, and Father JANDEL belng One, and not even speaking Italian, he d i d no t please the D om i n i c ans. Cabals commenced, and at length became so violent that the attention of the POPE was called to them. Since the return of M. DE RAYNEVAL the Papal Government has shown it self more conciliating towards Piedmont. It is dis posed to appoint Monseigneur CHAUVAY, who was proposed by the Sardinian Government, to the Arch bishopric of Genoa."
