AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE TARIFFA. QUEENSTOWN, July 15. The Canard extra steamship Tariffa, from New York on the 4th inst., arrived here at 5.25 a.m. to day with 119 passengers and $643,051 in specie for' England. She landed 13 of the former, and pro., seeded at 6 a.m. all well. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The St. Louis Democrat gives the particulars of what it calls " a tragic affair." It appears that two citizens were returning from a visit to friends at Columbia, Illinois. One of them, John Augus tine, carried a gun to pick up any game on the road. They stopped at a saloon, where two drunken nil flans were breaking the furniture and tumblers. Not liking the state of things, they left without a word, when one of the two ruffians, named John Lane, pursued and overtook Augustine, wrenched the gun from his hands, knocked him down with the butt end, and when on the ground struck him a s econd blow, which broke his neck and killed him. Dr. Payne passed shortly after, and found Augustine lying dead ! Others came up, Lane was pursued, shot in the arm, and finally captured and taken to Columbia. A justice of the peace ordered him to be committed to the gaol at Waterloo, and he was placed in charge of a strong guard. By this time the populace began to assemble. It was stated that Lane had murdered a woman and her child in the Bottoms about two years before, and was known to be a desperate character. Details• of these murders were given, and excitement grew apace. Finally the mob became furious, and charged the waggon where the prisoner was confined. The guard was scattered like chaff, and the trembling murderer and abject ruffian dragged through the streets of Columbia to a spot half a mile west of the town, where a rope was tied round his neck, and he was suspended to a limb of a tree till he ex pired. A hole two feet deep was dug and the body was cut down and thrown in, with a pile of stones to mark the spot of his burial. General Chamberlain has been nominated by • the Republican party for the Governorship of Maine, and his election is sure. This will be the third government bestowed on soldiers in the New England States, General Hawley in Connecticut, and General Burnside in Rhode Island being the other two. The question between the military and the civilians was fairly met in the Maine Conven tion, and resulted in 599 votes for the general, and 438 votes for Mr. Spring, the civilian. The number of the military to obtain such appointments will in all probability be increased, as blue since the war has come into fashion, and the drab of peace must yield. The number of men voted for the regular army of the United States has been fixed at 50,000 of all arms. The Bill passed the House of Representa tives by a majority of 72 to 41. No one who served in the Southern army or navy will be allowed to hold a commission, nor will any commission be be stowed under the rank of colonel before the candi date has been subjected to the test of an examina tion by a Board. Mr. Thomas D'Arcy M'Gee, who during late years has attained considerable political influ ence in Canada, was applied to by a Roman Catholic clergyman of Connecticut to use his influence in behalf of one of the captured Fenians. Mr. M'Gee's reply was characteristic, and strongly illustrates the change wrought in men by placing them in positions of influence and responsibility. The priest remembered how thoroughly Mr. M'Gee in former years had identified himself with the Irish party in New York, and he was not prepared for the decisive reply that Mr. M'Gee would decline to interfere to save one of the Fenians, if that Fenian was his own brother. This statement has given rise to much vituperation, but it should be re membered thaiior a long period Mr. M'Gee's con duct has been quite in keeping with his answer, and it would ill become a member of the Canadian Government to attempt to shield such desperadoes, the more so if his own early antecedents in any way identified him with such a party. The manufacturers of Pennsylvania are eager enough in the cause of protection, but not suffi ciently so to •satisfy some of their journals. The Iron Age urges on them the necessity of proceeding at once to Washington, to use all their influence on Congress for the speedy enactment of a strong tariff law. Some of the manufacturers replied that " the Committee of Ways and Means was all right, and the fears expressed on the subject groundless. Others declared that there was treachery in the camp and a deliberate purpose to evade action on the Bill, or so to emasculate it as to make it worth less. The Iron Age believes that Congress dare not go to the country without enacting some tariff law. _ _ It declares this to be the most favourable moment for the erection of a mighty system of national pro duction, to establish for ever thelindustrial and commercial enterprise of the country. The Committee of Ways and Means presented to the House on the 25th June last the Tariff Bill proposed by them. The bill was introduced by representative Morrill, and is calculated to gladden the hearts of all home producers and manu facturers. The Philadelphia Enquirer announces the new Act under the various headings " Ame- rican Manufacturers Encouraged ; " '~ Stimulation of Home Industry ; " "Heavy duties on Foreign Fabiiii; " — ft - Tax-on-Foreign. Dry. Goods and Iron Ware ; " " Glad Tidings for Pennsylvanian Iron mills ; " and finally the curious announcement of " Premiums withdrawn from Foreign Competitors." If Mr. Morrill has ever sinned by establishing pre miums on foreign to the detriment of home pro ducers he will be forgiven for the bill he now in troduces, which we hope to publish entire in a supplement, on account of the great interest the new tariff will excite in this country. A question, relative to the re-issue of lost bonds and coupons, has been brought to the attention of Congress by a report from the Committee on Claims to the House of Representatives. It appears that a gentleman in Maine lost a five hundred dollar bond, but subsequently recovered it in a mutilated and damaged condition, together with thirteen of the coupons. He asked Congress to authorise the Secretary to re-issue the bonds and coupons. The Committee recommended that on the surrender of the mutilated bond a new one be issued without coupons, that the thirteen, coupons be held valid, that they cannot authorise the re-issue of the coupons supposed to be lost, for there is no evidence but that they may still be in existence. The last point settles the question of re-issue when no satis factory evidence is given of the total destruction of lost coupon bonds. The house agreed to the above Report. It is, however, necessary for the passage of a law on the subject of bonds lost, stolen, or destroyed, to protect the people from unfair loss of property, and the Government from imposition. A National Dress Reform and Equal Rights' Association Meeting was held in Sy racuse , New York, three weeks a - go. Mrs. Dr. Walker, Presi dent of the Conventiohn, addressed the meeting. ri g She told of he r sand trials i n th e N ew York Police Court, and the wrongs endured d e fo in By an e r daring to walk th e streets of New York clothed a physiological m anner. easy transition she passed to the subject o f t h e franchise, n predict' g a that the women of A mer i ca would in few years l walk to the ballot-box by t h e side of the men,n that many of the offices would b e ably filled e by women. and women. Then as if to p rove h ow well adapt e d the Bloomer costume was for quick shifts o f position, and rapid changes, she came do wn on Jefferson' Davis with startling vehemence. She would put him into hoops and long skirts, and compel him to do the woman's work of a four-storey house, which punishthent she believes to exceed any other. So that Bloomer would turn " the stern statesman " into a Biddy, to do the work of a maid-of-all- work in a 'London lodging-house. Mrs. Dr. Walker has arrived at the conclusion that when women dress as men they may vote as men, the one privilege being dependent on the other. It ap pears, however, that grave doubts existed among the fair sisters as to the advisability of the change, and the subject has been referred to The women of America. Lecturers are to be employed at the ex pense of the Association, so long as they wear the Association's garb, and they are to paint in vivid colours the fact that freedom goes with masculine attire, and slavery with flowing drapery and Pari- sian mod Es. A remarkable newspaper has just been simul taneously issued in New York, Brooklyn, and Washington, under the auspices of the African CiNilisation Society, addressed to the coloured people If the Union, and edited by a negro, the Rev. L. Perry. The People's Journal gives us a very good opinion, both as regards topics and tone, of the class to whom it is addressed. Sach a newspaper, written by themselves and extensively circulated among them, must have a beneficial influence. It is avowedly published to advocate education, politics, and social action. The effect will very quickly be seen. As a class the coloured population through this organ will have a means of combining for action and expressing a united opinion. It gives them a platform and makes them heard. We have Irish grievances enough, and enough of Irish bun kum, and it will be a positive relief to receive this down-trodden people on the stage with some real genuine grievances. We hope the People's Journal will maintain the same quiet, moderate, dignified tone—no matter what the provocation—and it will soon command over a large range of civilisation, respect, and admiration. We commend this journal to Exeter Hall. From the above journal we learn that a delegation of coloured men waited on Roberts proposing to arm for Fenianism, grounding their action on a revenge for the treatment received by their brethren in Jamaica. If this feeling prompted the proposal, the memory of the delegation was closed to the past favours of the British Government, and the past hatred and cruelties of those for whom they were making themselves culprits, under the laws of the United States, and seeking to endanger their lives on a field of battle. " Go," says this journal, "to Amherstburgh, Windsor, Dresden, London, and other places in Canada, and ask the coloured re fugees what the British Government did for them, when the bloodhounds of cruel slavery chased them across the Line. Ask them where they found re fuge when the Fugitive Slave Bill of 1850 made to mad ta e k i e t a crime for even a minister of the Gospel them in and give them a crust of bread, or Buffalo,a cupof cold water. Then go, if you please, to Chicago, and last, but not least, retur n wh t°New York, and ask the coloured peop le instituted the bloody riots and mobs of July, 1863." The Times considers that the Government of the United States is alive to the danger of organisations —such as the Fenian brotherhood—being allowed to exist in the Union. It perceives that if the Irish are permitted to form a powerful armed organisa tion for one purpose, they may possibly use it for another, less remote from their own interests than the liberation of Ireland. The motion in the Cana dian Parliament, claiming indemnification from the United States for the expense of suppressing the Fenian raids, is justly termed foolish and prepos terous. "Lord Monck's advisers ought to have known that this is a demand not founded on justice or reason, and to which the American Government never could submit. It was a great and incompre hensible error to make it. The Provinces need not be reminded they are unable to enforce their absurd claim, and in England it can only be regarded with astonishment and disapprobation." This is a plea sant rebuke for the Canadians, who have had to bear the brunt of the mis-government of Ireland. The sins of the father are being visited on the child. The Times, moreover, sees an awkward question looming in the distance. What if the Union were to grant the application of the Canadians . , pay over a few thousands of dollars, and then demand from the British Government the millions of pounds sterling claimed for the losses sustained by the Alabama and other piratical cruisers. General Hobson, the captor of Morgan, and Pre sident of the soldiers late Convention, has been nominated clerk of the Court of Appeals. The Hon. James G. Blaine has been re-nominated for Congress for the Third District, Missouri; and a resolution was adopted by the Union Convention, congratulating the people on the ability, faithfulness, and patriotism of their representative, now elected for the third time. Mr. Throckmorton has been chosen Governor of Texas. He was a slaveholder, and joined the South in the rebellion. The Hon. John Lynch has also been re-nominated as representative to Con ! gress. The Hon. Justin S. Morrill declines to come for ward as a candidate for re-election for the second dis trict of Vermont, where he has been honoured with six consecutive elections. He does this in a graceful letter to his constituents. He served since 1855 with the hearty approval of that body, and the still more hearty approval of all Protectionists. One of his last acts will be the introduction of the New Tariff Bill, which he ably supports. His career has been marked by a single-minded and determined opposi tion to all free-trade theories as applied to the United $2,500,000. The loss to the Southern States, if they all decide on excluding the Negro Suffrage, will be 25 repre sentatives. Of these Alabama will lose 3, Georgia 3, Louisiana 2, Maryland 1, Mississippi 3, Missour 1, North Carolina 3, South Carolina 4, Tennessee 2, Texas 1, and Virginia 2. A circular storm of extraordinary violence burst over Buffalo on Tuesday, the 26th June last, de stroying both property and life. The suddenness of the whirlwind took the inhabitants by surprise. The air was oppressively quiet, when the clouds began to gather, but no one would have predicted more than a heavy shower. The rain came down, nifie;d, w ithlli ghth-ingrancl peals of thunder, and the gale set in for half an hour with a fury that struck awe into the people ; " a wild, wicked, relentless tempest," to use the Courier's words, " which seemed bent oh the utter destruction of the city." Chim neys came crashing down, roofs took flight, win dows were forced in, buildings blown down, and large trees uprooted like weeds by a gardener. The list of damage and loss of life is considerable. The storm may be the means of furnishing us with ano ther decision on lost bonds of the United States, as it burst in the windows of a banking-house and swept away $6OO in 7-30 bonds. Can the banker furnish the proof required of the total destruction and loss of these bonds? _ ---- - One of the prizes of 500,000 f. belonging to the Mexican Bonds lately drawn was gained by a locksmith of the Marais, named Bonsons. President Johnson has been made an LL.D. by the University of North Carolina. A race lately took place at Philadelphia of chariots constructed like those of ancient Rome, driven by ladies in classic costume. Miss Mason, of New York, driving "Lady Sherman" and "Prairie Flower," won the race against Miss Sherwood, of Philadelphia, driving "Flora Bell" and "Empress." The race was in mile heats, best three in five. Time-2 min. 25i sec., and 2 min. 30 sec., and 2 min. 15 sec.

FIRE IN BOSTON. — BOSTON, JUNE 19 .—The fur , itnre store of H a l ey, Morse, and Boyden, on Washington- ' street, and Child and Jenck's picture establishment were . , destroyed by fire to-day. The loss of the former was $50,000, and of the latter $lO,OOO. The Boston public library contains 1 23,000 vo lumes. Its largest contributors are Joshua Bates, of Lon- don, who gave $lOO,OOO worth of books and Theodore Parker, who left 11,000 books and 3,000 pamphlets. In 1865 nearly 195,000 books were lent, or an aver age o f 708 per day. The greatest number given out in a single day 1 TEE SON, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 16, 1866. was 1,464. The superintendent reports a constantly im proving character in the circulation, that it is tending strongly to the more substantial and useful class of books. The workmen engaged in raising the ruins of the steamer Commonwealth, which was burned at her wharf in Groton last December, on Wednesday succeeded in obtaining the safe of the boat, which, at the time of the fire, was in the clerk's office. This safe contained many valuable papers and about $5OO in greenbacks, which were found to be but in a slightly damaged condition. The population of New Jersey, according to the census in 1865, is 733,700, being an increase of 101,271 in five years. Pretty good gain for war times ! There is said to be a wonderful profusion of cattle and domestic fowls in the Shenandoah Valley, considering the complete devastation it was said to have suffered. Two young girls in Memphis tried to frighten a companion by holding dtt the railroad track as a train was approaching. Tho fright didn't kill her, but the engine did. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW Yoitx, Juno 26, p.m. Gold continues comparatively steady, closing at 156 Tho extremes of to-day have been 1541 to 157. There is not much doing in Government Stocks, and the quota tions are firm, the transactions being small at foi mer rates. Hardly business enough has been done in small stocks to make quotations. Erie is scarce, and advantage has been taken of not sfficient stock being on hand for delivery to " put it up for a turn." There is little else of interest in the Railway Share Market. After the call, Erie sold up to 601, but soon broke again. The western shares are ne glected, and can be borrowed in any amount. The closing prices were : Ohio Certificates, 27 to 271 ; Canton, 53 to 551 ; Cumberland Coal, 44 to 45 ; Quicksilver, 48 to 481 i Mariposa Preferred, 211 to 22 ; New York Central, 98 to 984 ; Erie, 59i to 60 ; Hudson River, 1101 ; Reading 1081 to 104 ; Michigan Southern, 781 to 781; Cleveland and Pittsburg, 83 to 831; Cleveland and Toledo, 1061; Rock Island, 93/ to 94; North-Western, 291 to 30; North-Western Preferred, 591 to 591 ; Fort Wayne, 931. Money is abundant on call at 5 per cent. to good bor rowers, and at 6 any reasonable sum can be had on mis cellaneous collaterals. Upon Governments 4 per cent. is taken. In commercial paper no change. The small amount of really first-class bills offering is taken at low rates, 5 to 51 per cent., and 6 to 61 for good. Exchange is steady at the following quotations :—Lon don, prime bankers, 60 days, 1081 to 109 ; London, primo bankers, sight, 1101 to 1101; London, prime commercial, nominal ; Paris, bankers, long, 5.131 to 5.121 ; Paris, bankers, short, 5.111 to 5.10 ; Antwerp, 5.15 to 5.12; ; Swiss, 5.15 to 5.121; Hamburg, 36/ to 361 ; Amsterdam, 411; Frankfort, 42 ; Bremen, 791; Berlin, 73 to 74. The exports (exclusive of specie) from the port of New York to forlign ports, for the week ending June 26, 1866, were $2,388,335. For State Stock and railway mortgages business is reduced to small limits. In the Railway Market all shares, except Erie common, are neglected. At one time Erie sold as high as 631 but receded to 62}. Buying appears much easier than selling, for the stock is forced up against a drooping market and the desperate balance-sheet of the Erie Company. Money remains easy at 5 to 6 per cent., and upon Govern ments 4is taken. In commercial paper there is no change. 0-• The Treasury will probably pay off the temporary loans at an early date, which, with the liquidation of the One-year Certificates, will throw a large sum of money into the mar ket and give increased ease. Exchange is steady at the following quotations: London, prime bankers, 60 days, 108 k to 1081 ; Loudon, prime bankers, sight, 1101 to ink ; London, prime commercial, 1061 to 1074 ; Paris, bankers, long, 5.15 to 5.121 ; Paris, bankers, short, 5.111 to 5.081; Antwerp, 5.161 to 5.131 ; Swiss,'s.l6l to 5.131; Hamburg, 361 ; Amsterdam, 42 ; Frankfort, 43 to 44 ; Bremen, 79 ; Berlin, 74. In freights the engagements to Liverpool aro 50,000 bush. Corn at 4fd. to 5d., and 8,000 boxes Cheese at 20s. To London, 15,000 bush. Corn at sid. to 6d. To Glas gow, 3,500 bush. Corn at 61d. Three vessels were char tered to Cork, for orders, with corn at ss. The business of 'the Sub-Treasury" was : Receipts, $3,930,843 31—for Customs, $545,000 ; payments, $2,697,762 98; Balance, $102,634,222 63—gold notes, $109,000. NEW YORK, Friday, June 29, p.m. I take the opportunity of adding a few lines to my letter of the 26th inst. Gold closes at 1544, after selling at 1521 to 155. An attempt by the clique was to-day made to put up the price of gold. Several plans were tried with a temporary suc cess, but not to the extent expected and calculated on by the speculators. All kinds of Government Stocks continuo in demand at improving prices; 5-20 of 1862 rose 1 ; do. of 1865, ; 10-40's, 1; and third series of 7-30's, ; North Carolina 6's rose (From E. F. Satterthwaite and Co.'s Meekly Circular, July 11.) From New York per "Scotia," we have advices to the 26th ult. Gold has fluctuated between 58 and 50i premium. In United States 5-20 Bonds there has been a decline of per cent. Railroad stocks wore steady, with the excep tion of Erie, in which large transactions had taken place at fluctuating rates. The question whether this Company would or could pay any dividend was anxiously discussed, and opinions much divided. • Via " Greencastle " we have received the following quotations, being to the 30th ult.:— United States s:2o's 1041 I Erie, Common Illinois Centrals 121 1 Gold 1538 The following is the return of the New York Banks : Discounts.

R. B. FORBES, Vice-President. We have to report a firm market in London since our last for American securities. The market has become bare of stock for United States 5-20 Bonds and Eries, and prices of each improved respectively to 68 and 39k, but on receipt of shipments of stock from New York, United States 5-20's have declined to 66/, and Erie to 38g. Illinois Shares have been steady from 751 to 76k, though at one time they touched 771.

There can be no ques tion that the Times relieves a large number of John Bulls from all trouble of thinking on political matters ; but, worse still, it relieves a considerable section of the English Press; and the crudest and most erroneous ideas are found circulating from journal to journal ; all taken as sound doctrine and undoubted fact, though all having but one source, the opinion of a writer in the Times. If it were possible for" the Times to be ashamed of anything, it would be ashamed of the series of articles put forth during the rebellion ; one gross tissue of errors, every statement wrong, every prophecy disproved by time. But all these added to the difficulties Mr. Adams had to overcome. That gentleman may rest assured that the day is not far distant, when the full value of the service ha has rendered, not only to the country ho represents, but to that also to which he is accredited, will be freely acknowledged by two grateful nations.

There is a simplicity in tho article devoted to this phi lanthropist, which characteristically describes the unosten tatious benevolence of his character. The periodical opens with an excellent portrait, repre senting him as he now is, and the article contains another as he was in 1816. George was born in the town of Danvers, Massachu setts, in 1795. His school life ended at the early age of 11, when he commenced, though in a humble capacity, his commercial career. He began as a clerk in a grocery store, from that he joined his brother in a dry-goods store, which was burnt down. He entered as a Volunteer to repel the British attack in 1812, but he was disappointed, as the attack did not come off at the spot where ho was stationed. Shortly after he became a partner in a mer cantile house in Baltimore. As his business increased it became necessary for him frequently to visit Europe, and finally he settled in London, where he amassed the large fortune, which he has distributed in a manner so lavish and extraordinary as to excite the attention of the world His first important gift was to his native town of Danvers ' where he founded an ed uca ti ona l esta b lishment at a cost of £30,000. Following in the tide of his own success ful career, he next proceeded to Baltimore, where he established an institution devoted to science and morality, and embracing a free library, which has already cost him more than £1.00,000. He then turned his attention to the great city where he had mainly amassed his fortune, and it is almost impossible to conceive a more munificent gift, bestowed more unostentatiously, directed more usefully, and born of a more pure sense of duty, than that with which his mind now proposed and executed. Could the mag nificent range of buildings in Spitalfields, and the hundreds of happy homes established there, have been erected without the name of the donor appearing, we believe that the earnest religious feeling of this gentleman, would have left the astonished citizens to imagine that the whole had been the work of some good spirit. But it was necessary to endow the institution and to make rules for its guidance, and this could not be ; otherwise it is probable that the name of George Peabody would not even have appeared, and the world would have been left to guess who the rich person - was, who had bequeathed in death so vast a legacy to the poor. The first sum devoted to furnishing homes to the in dustrious poor of London was £150,000, but last year this sum was supplemented by another of £lOO,OOO, in paid-up shares of the Hudson's Bay Company, representing one twentieth part of the vast territory of that company, and, though now at a discount, likely hereafter to rise to a very high premium. The manner in which this donation was announced was in keeping with the modest and retiring character of the great banker. At a quiet dinner party given to the trustees of the Fund he read a letter stating his intention and his object, and after completing his ar rangements he left this country for his native land. The blocks of buildings erected in Spitalfields, Chelsea, Bermondsey, Islington, and Shadwell will stand as fitting monuments to his memory. It is intended to erect upon some public spot in London a statue to this philanthropic Ame rican banker, and the Queen has testified in a worthy manner thehigh sense she entertains of these princely gifts to her poorer subjects by an autograph letter, which may be taken as the tribute of the nation through its repre sentative. Mr. Peabody declined the proffered honours of a baronetcy or Grand Cross of the Bath, but replied to her Majesty's letter in appropriate terms, and accepted with expressions of deep gratitude the Queen's gift of her own portrait. _ We have already trespassed beyond our limits in our notice of this excellent periodical. The proprietors may call it a " Leisure Hour," but wo can assure our readers that many of them would do well to take an hour from business to read up its temperate, well-written, and well selected articles. The Making of the American Nation, by J. A. Partridge (London : Stanford), is an able and voluminous work on the causes and results of the late war in the United States. Mr. Partridge is an ardent admirer of the American system of Government, and as vigorous an opponent of the false principles of democracy which the rebel slaveholders un successfully endeavoured to embody in their so-called Government. His analysis of American history and insti tutions proves him to have been an industrious and con scientious student ; and his application of the well-esta blished axioms of political science to the United States entitles him to still higher praise. Those who desire solid instruction and sympathise with that earnestness which is begotten of knowledge would do well to read both " The Making of the American Nation" and an equally able and exhaustive work by the same author on " Democracy " (Ti itbner and Co.) A Rebel War Clerk's Diary (Tritbner and Co.) is a diary of events in Richmond from April, 1861, to April, 1865 four most eventful years. Although the writer rejoices in the not uncommon name of Jones, which might easily afford a cloak for deception, his book contains internal evidence of genuineness. It is full of the most curious in formation with reference to the military and political drama in the South, besides containing a record of every day occurrences in Richmond. Unintentionally, no doubt, Mr. Jones furnishes ample evidence of the rottenness of the civil administration of affairs in the Confederacy. Mr. Tribner has also republished a History of Delaware County, Pennsylvania, which is interesting not only for the light it throws upon early. American life and manners, but because Delaware County is one of the strongholds of the Society of Friends in the Quaker State. The Sportsman and Naturalist in Canada (Hurst and Blackett) is a handsome volume, profusely illustrated, on the natural history of the game, game birds, and fish of the Canadian forests, plains, and waters. The author is Major W. Ross King, whose "Campaigning in Kaffirland" is well known. His present work deserves to be widely read, and is, indeed, not merely qualified to attract the na turalist, but may be appreciated and enjoyed by the least scientific reader. The illustrations, some of them coloured, are invariably excellent ; the author's style is picturesque, vivid, and animated. Westfield; A View of Home Life During the American War (Edinburgh : Edmonston and Douglas), is a beautiful story to which we pay the best compliment by saying that it completely carries out the purpose expressed in its title page by giving, under the guise of a domestic tale, a thrilling, but we believe not exaggerated picture, of the high devotion and courageous self-forgetfulness by which the men of the Northern States who went out to fight and the women who remained at home to wait were animated and sustained by the recent American conflict. There is no author's name attached to the book, but it is gracefully dedicated to Mr. Thomas Hughes, M.P., in remembrance of his constant sympathy for the Federal cause.

The following interesting particulars in regard to Mr. Adams and Mr. Peabody we take from a review of the " Leisure Hour," in the last number of the Anglo-American Times : The July number contains three articles—besides others of general interest—of especial interest to Americans. First in place and in importance is one on "American In dependence." This article brings prominently to the front two of the chief actors in the great events which gave birth to the United States as an independent nation, George 111. and John Adams. John Adams was the first American ambassador despatched to St. James's, and he came as one of the most prominen of his countrymen who had led in the war against the king. He was presented on the first of June, 1785, by Lord Carmarthen. It was the Minister's inten tion to deliver his credentials silently and to retire, but he was induced to alter his mind. Probably few gentlemen could have been placed in a more embarrassing position. Ho stood before the king invested with the privileges of an ambassador, representing a nation which but a short time before were rebel colonies against the very monarch he then addressed, and ho himself a leader in what the king considered a wicked rebellion against his lawful authority. But John Adams was equal to the occasion. He was not there to hurl any defiance at the monarch whose yoke they had just shaken off ; he was there as a minister of peace to reknit the fraternal bonds, And to bind the two nations in commerce and good-will. " The ap pearance of a Minister" he said, "from the United States to your Majesty's Court will form an epoch in the history of England and America. I think myself more fortunate than all my fellow citizens in having the distinguished honour to be the first to stand in your Majesty's royal presence in a diplomatic character, and I shall esteem my self the happiest of men if I can bo instrumental in re commending my country more anti more to your Majesty's royal benevolence, of restoring an entire esteem, confi dence, and affection, or, in other words, the old good-nature and the old good-humour between people who, though separated by an ocean and under different Govarnments, have the same language, a similar religion, and kindred blood." Mr. Adams appears to have been much affected as he spoke, and his visible agitation moved the king who re plied :—" Sir, the circumstances of this audience are so extraordinary, the language you have now held is so ex tremely proper, and tho feelings you have discovered are so justly adapted to the occasion, that I not only receive with pleasure the assurance of the friendly disposition of the United States, but that I am glad the choice has fallen upon you to be their Minister. I wish you, si r , to believe, and that it may be understood in America, that I have done nothing in the late contest but what I thought myself in dispensably bound to do by the duty I owe to my people. I will be very frank with you. I was the last to consent to the separation, but the separation having been made, and having become inevitable, I have always said, as I now say, that I would be the first to meet the friendship of the United States as an independent power." obstinate in adhering to it. Mr. Adams appears to have formed a high opinion of George 111. as an accomplishedan:egnotvleemarnmn,o7aasswaegdodoedd 111. in the course he pursued man in his domestic relations. But he speaks of him as frittering away his time in the little things of life, as weak We who have inherited t little inclination to regard the memory of this monarch with the leniency displayed in this article. Oa every to point the king was wrong.

By his doggedne ss he forced on America the decisive course o f i ndependence, entailed on his people a fratricidal War of seven years, ending in disastrous defeat, an expenditure o f 50 ,000 men, and £129,124,000 added to the National debt. But, worse still,', he left the memories of cruel acts and bloody wars. He sowed tho seed which has produced such years of bitter ness, which has taught the American people to regard England as their foe, and Franca as th e i r friend. Nor canhis bi memory be shielded from th e effects of these fatal blunders as cribing them to th e age in which he lived. Hear what Chatham said :—" All attempts to impose servi tude on such men, to establish despotism on such a mighty continental nation, must be vain, must be fatal ; ' and Chatham's words were termed by the king "a tempest of sedition." Mr. Rutledge, commissioned by Congress to meet Lord Howe, said "that England would derive greater advan tages from an alliance with the colonies as independent States than she had hitherto done, and enjoy a greater share of American commerce." There were leading states men both in England and America who foresaw the whole results, but their opinions were scouted and themselves termed traitors. For th e result then of th i s mos t dis astrous chapter of B r iti sh history George 111. stands pro minently forth as responsible and no amount of family virtues, pleasing anecdotes, and accomplished small-talk can ever gild the fatal pag: • CHART -18 PRANcIS ADAMS, our present Minister at this Court, is the grandson of the bove John Adams. The interval between John Adams's etirement from public life and his grandson's advent on he stage was worthily filled by the son of the former and ather of the latter. Both the father and grandfather of Charles Francis were born at Braintree, Massachusetts. Both attained to the dignity of President of the United States, and both represented their country at the Court of St. James's. It is seldom that in successive generations three men so distinguished have sprung from one line, and it is the more remarkable in a country constituted like the Union, where family i n fl uen ce has none of that over whelming weight that attaches to it in Europe. Charles Francis was born at Boston on the 18th August, 1807. In 1821 he entered Harvard College, where he graduated, and in 1829 ho married a young lady of his native State. Ho was elected for the House of Repre sentatives by Massachusetts from 184143, and became a member of the Senate during 1844-5. In 1848 he was defeated for the Vice - Presidency of the United States. He took his scat in the Federal Congress in 1859 for his rative State, but on President Lincoln's assuming the Government he was t n h o e minated Minister to Great Britain. The events which followed are too recent to be for gotten, but neither had to s t eer, the delicate and intricate navigation, till most of us ar e i n our graves. peoplecountry o f wh nor ieh of Lis a has o h li own will fully k now the quick-sands this through The choice of a Minister under such circumstances was a matter of first-rate importance to the interests of both countries. The folly of some of the leading journals of England, was equalled only by that of some of the lead ing statesmen, and the difficulties of Mr. Adams's position were increased to an inconceivable degree, by the ungene rous and grossly ignorant opinions put forward autlwrita tively as those of this nation. These views, though only held by a powerful section of the Upper Ten Thousand, served to create and keep alive the most bitter feelings of Prophets end Losses. The facetious correspondent of the Racing Times writes on the above subject as follows : The science of betting would appear to be still in its infancy, even though games and wagers were well known when civilisation was young, or, in other words, from time immemorial. How to do his adversary is the principle uppermost in the mind of your modern low-class betting man. There must, of course, be two parties to every transaction of the kind—one to win and the other to lose—so that the party who receives is plus, and the person who pays becomes minus to the same extent. No amount of sophistry can get over this little fact, and it is only varied when you have entrusted your coin to a loose advertising prophet, and he forgets to cash up. I have given on former occasions passing references to miserable pickers-up of the public, but had no idea whatever that the fraternity were so numerous, as upon a little research I find them to be. They spring up from all parts of the country with extraordinary assurance, pursuing their calling with indomitable energy and skill worthy a better cause. In a largely-circulated bi-weekly contemporary of the 16th June, exactly a month back, were a couple Of columns of advertisements of commission agents and tipsters, and no less than 14 of the latter have since disappeared. The first that caught my eye ran thus—" Notice : The British Turf Company, for the convenience of the working class execute commissions (by letter only) from 2s. 6d. to any amount. Full market odds and starting prices gua ranteed. Address, with stamps or post orders, Alfred Bennett, Secretary, 102, Newington-causeway. Established 1850." We are all working men, as Gladstone says, but the class whose " convenience" here supposed to be consulted is evidently of the humbler lot. Here is a pretty scheme to, extract half-a-crown from a poor man's pocket. Mark the high-sounding title, 'British Turf Compa n y. E s t & _ _ Wished 1850 !" Ido not believe there is any legi timate association of the kind in existence, for in stead of handsome, extensive premises usually pro vided by companies of repute, the place is a small tobacconist's shop, and the name of Alfred Bennett is not recorded in the " London Directory" as residing there. The working classes are sufficiently preyed upon, both commercially and politically, by all sorts of quacks and schemers, from maudlin trashy pub lications, to reform agitation, without having their small stock of half-crowns further jeopardise(' by the shallow artifice in question. Another candidate for public patronage appears under the name of W. Williams, of " Peas Hill rise, Nottingham," one of the well-known lamps of that quiet locality, and here is his statement : " Gentlemen,—We have this season gained the summit of our (monetary) ambition. lam sure by the liberality you have shown me that you are more than satisfied with my discovery, and as I cannot write you each. singly I thus publicly take the plea sure of returning you, one and all, my best thanks. Gentlemen wishing for the above are requested to write before the 23d, as it will not be imparted to any one after that date." This appears to have some reference to a preceding advertisement or para graph, but it is not so, and I may safely defy any Greenhorn on earth to unravel the mystery. lam glad, however, to find that Mr. Williams has gained the summit of his monetary ambition, and heartily trust his correspondents, assuming he ever had any, have done so likewise. To proceed—one Fred Gaywood, of Manchester, introduces his " new and valuable guide to backers of horses," and continues, "After many (roving ?) years of successful practice he can with confidence recommend this work as the best ever published —post free, seven stamps." Not at all dear, as times go. Two advertisements now follow, one from J. Harland, of Ipswich, and the other from J. Garland, of Leicester-square. May they not be the same ? The Ipswich man did business by supplying winners of, the Northumberland Plate and Liverpool Cup at long odds for 12 stamps, and the Leicester-square worthy for the same in formation required fourteen. It was not wholly impossible for a sharp backer to have discovered the important fact from a careful perusal of the latter's announcement which ran thus —" One horse in the Northumberland Plate is favoured in so glaring a manner that its trainer, one of the shrewdest judge, of the days says he never knew a better thing, and certainly during 22 years' practical experience I never did. My information is from most reliable sources, and I do not hesitate to say this will be m y greatest success of the year." Another tipster and commission agent, one G. Cookson, hails from 20, Charles-street, Hampstead-road, which, on re ference to the " London Directory," I find to be a chandler's shop, not a very dignified calling for a prophet of eminence. He had " the greatest cer tainty ever known," which was retailed at half a dozen stamps, and for the same figure a Mr. Segary, of 142, Leadenhall-street, supplied the identical article, but limited it to " gentlemen who would act honourably after the race," and wound up by stating " This is really genuine." How could anybody doubt it ? .Leadenhall-street is a large, wealthy thoroughfare, but the number referred to is not an extensive merchant's establishment—but, according to the Directory, " Booser's refreshment rooms," so that seekers of good things while leav ing their six stamps for the tipster might partake of luncheon if so inclined. Mr. Frank Scott, of 132, Blackfriars-road (a carpenter's 'shop), after the usual liberality in offering £BOO for £l, and so on for a variety of double events, says " My selections will win the Worcester and Nottingham handicaps by twenty lengths !" Your readers will judge of the correctness of this as well as I can. To the small speculative capitalist perhaps there was nothing much better than a concern apparently of a slightly different character. I refer to the Royal Oak Money Club, where £5O could be got for a shilling, or rather a little more, because, in addition to the usual 12 stamps, two addressed stamped en velopes were wanted, one for tickets and one for prize-lists. The club-house is situate " 64, Chris tian-street, London, E," I confess to a tolerable knowledge of most parts of our interesting village, but the street in question never before came under my observation. However, on turning to Kelly's mighty volume, I find it is a terra incognita, lying between Cable-street and Commercial-'road East, and not, to the best of my memory, a very aristo cratic neighbourhood. The scheme seemed to be of the lottery or "little-go" order. Mr. Gilbert Bradshaw, of 67, Brook-street, Lam beth, is also a dealer in double events and certain ties. He informed his subs" that No. 2 black and 27 yellow were of no use, and recommended their being peppered. The place is a small tobacconist's shop, and pepper could not be purchased there, nor did it:appear at all intelligible what the numbers and colours referred to. In addition to the channels already enumerated, one T. Mathews (not Tom the veteran clown), of 138, Newington Butts, heads his advertisement, " A Fortune for a Shilling," alluding to something called " Orlando's Winning Guide,l' and informs us that " This celebrated work shows the most simple, easy, and only method by which £lO may be at obtained for every ss. invested. It tells you plainly the way to realise thousands." The author finishes with the word " copyright !" in in verted commas, alluding, as I suppose, to the circu lar, and is a warning to pirates. The number, 138 in Newington-butts, does not, for som e reason, app ear in Kelly. As I have shown clearly that £BOO is to be ob tained for a sovereign, it is doubtful whether our friends will go to the extent of ss. merely to secure an unimportant thing like a £lO note, and this " for tune fora shilling," being a fifth of the amount sought, appears like a couple of sovs. only. The last place to be referred to is " Mensal-green," a pleasant spot to finish at. The performer is " M.A.," and he dates from the post-office there, not the mine,. tery, and referring to . the Northumberland Plate, says, " I have an out and outer. A certain horse has been in reserve all its life ; it will now win two or three races, and I am assured this is its first journey. Those who are fond of hedging can win largely, for the stable money will be invested in a few days, and the horse down to short odds. As this information must necessarily be limited, it will be sent only to gentlemen forwarding Us. Those who will not reward me after the race need not write." The horse alluded to must have been an unprofitable one to its owner. At the Criminal Court recently a couple - Al••••••• of fellows were awarded lengthened sojourns in gaol for victimising a Yorkshire butcher out of £9 by advertising to lend him £l5O for 10 years, but re quiring the first year's interest in advance, which he was silly enough to remit, instead of requesting the capitalists to deduct the trifling amount and send a banker's draft for £l4l, which would have been the much more safe course. They dated from an oyster shop in Euston-road (a capital place for "natives"), the proprietor of which received letters from the country at half-a-crown a week. Many of the parties abcva referred to probably adopt the same course by getting unsuspecting tradesmen to allow letters to be addressed to their shops. Enough has been shown now to put all intelligent members of society who have a desire to peep into sporting futurity on their guard, and, while they seek " prophets," take care that " losses " do not ine vitably follow. COUNTRY MARKETS. NORWICH - SATURDAY. Thorn was a fair show of wheat at market to-day; but few transactions took place, at about the rates of this day so'unigjit. But little passing in other articles. The bril liant and forcing weather which we have had during the past week has enabled the growers to secure tho greater portion of their hay crop (which is of good average quality) in excellent order. The corn crops are also being rapidly brought to maturity under the most promising circum stances. White wheat (weighing 641 b), 55s to 57s ; old red aitto weighing 651 b), 51s to 53s ; new red ditto (weighing 601 b to 631 b), 51s to 52s ; best ma lti ng barley ( weighing 521 b to 531 b), 36s to 38s ; runs ditto ( we i g hi ng 511 ) to 521 b), 34s to 365; distilling ditto (weighing 501 b to 521 b), 30s to 32S ; oats, 24s to 26s ; beans, 57s to 39s ; peas (maple), 363 to 38s per qr.

TWEED SALMON FISHING.—Ou the whole the Tweed salmon fishings during the past week have been more productive than for some weeks past ; salmon and grilse improved much in the beginning of the week, but have since fallen off, probably owing to the extremely fine weather. Salmon are still far from being so nuns' rous as in former seasons ; there is not so much to con" plain of as regards grilse, whilst trouts are a fair fishing . Within the last two or three days the sea -coast stations have fished better, while those in the river have not been so productive. This is probably owing to the a te weather.—Berwick Advertiser.

In the Pall Mall Gazette we notice the following : —Am - ong the rumours of the last week, more or less noted, has been that of the offer of the Under-Secretary ship of Foreign Affairs to Lord Wharncliffe. If this is VI his lordship has shown much discretion in declining 0° appointment, and has probably saved the nascent Govera ment from a considerable difficulty in their transactio ns with the Atnerican Government. Their President Cabinet are daily winning more and more the respect and goodwill of the people. of England, and their good humour would have been taxed over much had they received de spatches signed by a name associated with the bitteres t incidents of the rebellion. The Pall Mall Gazette states that " the press of Saxony suffers greatly from the Prussian occupation. O il° half of the newspapers have been forced to shut u p their offices, and the others, except the _Dresden Journal and th e Dresden News, only publish half a sheet with exclusive l l official intelligence.
