....a...R.-- ~..ft _.. Shipwrecks on the New South Wales Coast. (Front the Melbourne Age.) For many years past so violent a hurricane has not been experienced as that which lately raged for several days on the New South Wales coast. The number of shipwrecks and the loss of life have, so far as information has reached us, been very great ; hut the real extent of the disasters resulting from the storm has not yet been ascertained. The gale commenced about Wednesday, July 11. It was pre ceded by heavy rain, which flooded the lowlying lands in the New South Wales colony, and played havoc with the property of the settlers. The rain was followed by a gale from the S.E., which gra dually increased to a hurricane, lashing the sea into fury, and driving the shipping in harbour on shore. The fears apprehended at the destruction of shipping on the coast were unfortunately realised. Th e Cawarra steamer, bound from Sydney to Queensland, whilst running into the port of New castle for shelter, foundered in sight of the shore, and of hundreds of people, who were powerless to render assistance. She was heavily laden, and there were five cabin and sixteen steerage passengers on board, but only one of them was saved. This was the prelude to other disas- tors experienced in the effort to reach the har bour. The ship Lady Bowen, for London, was com pelled to put back, and on entering Sydney har bour, went on the rocks at Bradley's Head, but has since been got, off with some damage. The Tiger, schooner, was wrecked at Wollongong, in running in for shelter, and all hands were lost. The barque William Watson, in making for Newcastle, got ashore, and became a total wreck, and only two of the crew were saved. The schooner Rhoderick Dhu, cedar laden, from Richmond for Sydney, was wrecked at Moruya Point. The Bungaree, tug boat, in attempting to tow the Midas, barque, into Newcastle, was driven ashore and became a total wreck ; and it was not without some difficulty and risk that the Midas was saved from destruction. The rain that fell during the first day of the hurri cane is described by eye-witnesses as a wall of water, which rendered it almost impossible to see objects a few yards distant. At Sydney the sea is represented to have broken right over the Heads into Watson's Bay, a thing almost incredible, the Sydney Heads being 500 feet in perpendicular height ; and according to calculations made by com petent persons, the wind was estimated to have had a velocity of 61 miles per hour, and exercised a force or pressure equal to 191 b. per square foot. The loss of the steamer Cawarra created a profound sensa tion, and the following particulars were obtained from the sole survivor, named F. V. Hedges, who was born in Bristol, England, and came to the colo nies in 1857, in the Granite City, and is now 31 years of age. He states the Ca.warra, cleared Sydney Heads about six o'clock on Wednesday evening, strong south-east breeze blowing ; as they proceeded the wind freshened, blowing heavy squalls; sea increas ing; heard the captain intended putting into Port Stephen or Newcastle. The weather was very thick at the time, and it was eleven o'clock before they made out land. At two, they made out Nobby's ; the captain at once made for the port, and rounded Nobby's shortly after two o'clock ; in doing so the heavy sea running struck the steamer several times with tremendous force, and the rush of water on deck, some of which went below, was frightful; the vessel almost became unmanageable ; she was driven over and passed the Eleanor Lancaster's mast. The captain ordered the foresail to be set as the vessel had turned round with her head towards Nobby's. Hedges thinks it was the captain's intention to make the harbour, but the sea came on board in such volumes that the captain ordered the sail to be taken in, and the steamer to go ahead full speed, evidently with the intention of going out to sea; three or four tremendous seas struck the steamer, and she gradually went down by the head, and the fires almost immediately went out. Captain Chatfield ordered the boats to be cleared away. Some China men had previously taken possession of one boat, but the captain ordered them out to make room for the females on board, two or three of whom got into the boat with five or six men, among whom was Hedges. A sea swept all out, but Hedges managed to lay hold of the davits, and succeeded in getting on board again, and by this time another boat, the cutter, was manned by seven or eight men, and put off from the steamer, but she almost immediately capsized, and only one of the crew regained the ship. Hedges got into the main rigging with three or four others, but had not been there long when the funnel went over the side, carrying him and the others with it ; he struck out for some minutes, and succeeded in laying hold of a plank, which drifed towards the harbour, near the red buoy. As he was drifting along, he says he saw two or three men in the water floating on pieces of wreck, and who, he thought, would be picked up by boats. He believes they all perished in the surf close to the Oyster Bank. Hedges says he heard no screaming. There was some slight confusion on board, but all appeared calm and collected, and perfectly resigned ; he says he has often seen more confusion and fright in much less real danger. The Chinamen willingly got out of the boat when ordered. When the boat of the steamer was going down the passengers and crew went aft for safety. When the mainmast went , he (Hedges) was in the water. He saw her foremast standing, and the next chance he had of seeing around him all was gone. Just before Hedges was swept off the wreck the second engi neer, who was by him clinging to the main rigging, said, " I think it is a case with most of us, Fred." About this time a report was spread through the vessel that the lifeboat was coming ; the captain said, " Coolly, lads, the lifeboat is coining." Up to the time that Hedges was washed off the steamer, the captain appeared perfectly self-possessed and cool ; in fact, all stood at their posts to the last. Hedges saw the chief engineer, who he made sure would be saved, as he was near the har bour. Hedges did not see the lifeboat, and was not aw are that she was ou t at all, but he saw another come out to their assistance. h 1 saw the schooner Veno coming in ; he did not, however, see the boat that picked hiin up until close to him. He saw the red buoy two or three times before he was pi c k e d up. Mr. Hannell's boat came alongside him w h en he was in the water, and he was assisted in, and re moved immediately to Mr. llannell's residence, at the lighthouse. The following is a list of the crew and passengers : —henry Chatfield, commander; Joseph P. ?FDowell, chief officer ; Thos. Burrows, second officer ; William Ray, carpenter ; William Freeman, boatswain ; Joseph Jenkins, Thos. Butler, Francis Hubert, Augustus Coste, quartermasters ; Wm. Bland, Gabriel Hanson, Frederick V. Hedges (saved), William R. Philips, John Callen, Edward Carey, seamen ; William Manton, lamp trimmer ; John Fountain, chief engineer ; John Auchincloss, second engineer ; Robert Barrett, Alexander Living stone, Peter Coley, Daniel Rodgers, James Taylor, James Leonard, firemen ; David Auchinson, coal trimmer ; Robt. M‘Murray, donkey driver; Edward Jones, David Thoburn, trimmers ; William Henry Morgan, second steward ; Stephen God dard, pantry-man ; John Darvell, fore cabin steward ; J, Abrahams, officers' servant ; John AiTiemid, chief cook ; James Fox, second cook ; Hugh M'Donald third cook ; Catherine Crozier, stewa.rdeas. them of the above have left h widows, and so me of emlarge families, to mourn their sudden and irreparable bereavement. Other losses and disasters have become known, which are thus epitomised :—A k etch, supposed to be the Caroline, and the schooner Seagull, went down in Newcastle harbour. The Lismor , t. also went ashore there, but all hands Were saved. The steamer coonambra, which left Newcastle for Sydney, luckily reached port in safety. The ship EBk, f rom New Zealand, in entering the Sydney harbour, near the North Head, grounded and became a wreck. The crew were saved. She was insured for £2,000. The schooner Cheetam, insured for £l,OOO, was also wrecked. The Carnation, from Port Macquarie, was wrecked at Seal Rock B a y on the 12th. Crew and passengers saved. The steamer West Hartley was wrecked at Lake Macquarie, and the crew saved. The brig Freak was wrecked at Tuggerah Beach, between Broken Bay and Newcastle ; she was in sured for £BOO. The steamer Corio is supposed to have foundered at sea, as portions of her fittings aye come ashore. The schooner Mary and from Warrnambool, was wrecked off Port Stephen, and five of the crew drowned. The schooner Sarah Barn was wrecked at Trial Bay. The Slippery Charley was wrecked at Pumbucra, and 11 passengers and six of the crew drowned. The Ceres went ashore at Grafton. The Woodpecker is re ported to be lost, and the captain and some of the crew drowned, and this intelligence has since been confirmed by some of the crew who were saved. The Eclipse, cattle laden, from Gladstone, was wrecked north of the Manning River bar, and all hands are said to have perished. Her commander was formerly master of the Souchays, steamer, and for several years in the service of the Australian Steam Navigation Company, The Government of New South Wales appointed a commission to in quire into the circumstances connected with the wrecks along the coast, and despatched a steamer to search the coast line, and their report has tended to show that the hurricane committed great ravages, the whole coast being strewn with pieces of wreck. Much indignation has been displayed at the scandalous neglect of the Government in not mak ing better provision for the security of life and property, especially at such an important port as Newcastle. Though a lifeboat has been provided, there was no one in authority to order it out ; and when launched it was not manned with that alacrity which was calculated to render its services really available. After much delay the boat put out, and approached within 300 yards of the wreck of the Cawarra when a heavy sea broke some of the oars, and the crew deemed it advisable to return. The verdict of the jury at the inquest on some of the bodies of the passengers per Cawarra condemned the unsatisfactory arrangements for the manage-- ment of the lifeboat, which are undoubtedly defec tive. The mischief committed by the hurricane has not been confined to the sea. The storm spread inland, and the country was flooded with water. The district of the Hunter and the llawkesbury were submerged, and all the rivers are swollen, and in some places flooded over their banks. With a cessation of rain, which was experienced after the hurricane had moderated, it was hoped no further mischief would be done ; but reports still come to hand adding to the list of calamities. MISCELLANEOUS AMERICAN NEWS. The Republican Convention at Pittsburg was to be held on Monday, 3d September, under the auspices of A. J. Hamilton, ex-provisional governor of Texas, Fred. Douglass (coloured); and others. Most of the Republican leaders throughout the country are expected to be present, and the proceed ings are expected to be important, inasmuch as they will probably define to some extent the course to be adopted by the Republican party in view of the approaching elections. We hear that the New Orleans Conventionists are about to issue an address explanatory of their position and plans. They propose to hold another meeting this month, and it is said that the military will protect them. ' We notice in the Philadelpia Inquirer that anegyo at St. Louis was seized with cholera, when the physi cian bled him and prescribed bi-carbonate of potassa to be used in the form of an unguent. The negro misunderstood the directions, swallowed the prepa ration, and, in an hour or two, was perfectly cured, although he was in a state of collapse when the physician was called ! The following letter from the Horse Guards has been transmitted by the Earl of Carnarvon to the Governor-General of Canada :—" Horse-Guards, 21st July, 1866,—5ir,-IVith reference to the seve ral reports which have been received from the General Officer commanding in Canada relative to Fenian movements in that province, and to the measures taken by the colonists for repelling any. Fenian attack, I am directed by the Field Mar shal Commanding-in-Chief to request that you will acquaint the Secretary of State for War that his Royal Highness having observed the alacrity, loyalty, and zeal shown by the volunteers and militia forces of Canada in having come forward for the defence of the colony on the late trying occasion in support of the troops, is very desirous of expressing to the force his full apprecia tion of their gallant and energetic behaviour and very great gratification and satisfaction he has thereby experienced. And his Royal highness trusts therefore that Lieutenant-General Peel will see no objection to the necessary communication being made by him to the Colonial-office, with a view to his Royal Highness's sentiments as above expressed, being made known through the proper channel to the volunteers and militia of Canada, lately employed against the Fenians.—l am, &c., (Signed) " W. F. FOSTER." A person signing himself M. Nassau, and dating his letter New York, August 28, writes to the Times on American finance. His object is to depreciate the value of United States Bonds. The Times, of course, gives prominent insertion to anything which tends to depreciate United States Securities. The writer alludes to the able and often prophetic financial exhibitions of that journal, which is to guide it in admitting or refusing the letter. This prophetic oracle does not see that the man is " chaffing" it. Seldom, even in the annals of the Times, has more wicked error been disproved by time than its assertions on American Finance. On this subject the Times has become a laugh- ing-stock to Americans. By disseminating falsehood it led Englishmen into the lament able error of investing in Confederate Bonds, while the Germans swallowed the oyster, and left the empty shells before the open and watering mouth of stupid John Bull. " While the majority of our people arc not owners of bonds or securities, or while there are not three out of one hundred individuals who own bonds," says M. Nassau, " the interest of a very small body of the people induces that minority to do all in their power to keep up the the prices of our national securities, and secure the payment in full of the accrued interest, as well as of the principal when it falls due. By taxation, prohibitory tariff, and exorbitant internal revenues, the Government is enabled to collect sufficient to pay its heavy expenses, besides the interest of the debt. Now, sir, allow me to draw the attention of your numerous readers to a most important feature of our internal economy —what portion of the sovereign people pays the bulk of the heavy taxes—those who possess bonds, or those w h o have none? " The debt of England is far larger th an that of America, and hopelessly saddled on the people, for they have no chance of paying it off. How many of these people arc owners of Consols? Not on e i n a hundred. What has the Government of the United States one during the first year after contracting thi s d e b t ? In the very act of paying off and discharging her enormous army and navy, she has liquidated her liabilities at the rate of more than two millions sterling a month. If such be her transactions in the p ast year, what are they likely to be in the future with her taxation the same, and her expenditure vastly decreased. There is a combination of gamblers in gold in New York, whose object it is to depreciate United States securities in the European markets. These securities free merchants fro m the bonds of this clique, for gold can now be procured by them through the agency of the Telegraph by the sale of 5-20's in Europe. This band of speculators have obtained immense power over the market for gold. The fall in the value of the securities raises the price of the precious metal, and to force gold up to a high premium is their object. It would be a worthy occupation for the Times to aid the opera tions of unprincipled speculators. The New Yink, Daily Tribune states :—" Much misunderstanding about admissions to the Paris Exposition seems to exist among some of the autho rities of the several States. Positively no articles will be entered or received at the Exhibition, except those for which applications shall have been duly filed with and accepted by the General Agent at New York, J. C. Derby, The Times Building, No. 40, Park-row. All applications, therefore, should be promptly forwarded to him, as he is required to have the descriptive catalogue ready by the 15th of September. Although the present list of applica tions promises an excellent exhibition in several groups, it is deficient in a few important particulars, such as rich furnishings, upholstery, and decorative w ork, crystals and rich glassware, porcelain and THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1866. other patterns, carpets, wall-papers, cutlery, bronzes, &c., cotton and its products, wool and its products, fleeces of wool, hosiery, &c., plans and models of rural buildings, fertilising substances, ap paratus and instruments for hunting, fishing, and for collecting natural products, shawls of wool, cereals, wines, and fermented drinks. A model district school-house, with all its appliances, would be a very desirable institution to send ; also, an American restaurant. Additional specimens of the ores of all the metals, exhibiting more fully their richness and the various localities of their produc tion, should be included ; also specimens of Ame rican wood. No such event as this has ever yet occurred, nor will it occur again probably for many years to come. Congress has provided free trans portation to Paris for goods, and show cases in which to exhibit them, as well as competent officers and guards to take care of them. Commissioner Cooley, of the Indian Bureau, has established a precedent in economy which is worthy of notice. Having been authorised to see an ap propriation of $54,000 to treat with certain refrac tory Indians, he, in company with a special com mission, last August visited these tribes, re maining with them over two months, and after entertaining the representatives of 75,000 Indians, and expending $3,000 in presents, and ratifying a treaty, only expended $lO,OOO for this object. This is the first instance of this character on record at the Indian Bureau. The records of the Freedmen's Bureau show that the aggregate number of sick refugees and freedmen that are now inmates of hospitals and asylums, in the several districts of the Bureau, to be as follows : Virginia, 569 ; District of Columbia, 226 ; South Carolina, 221; North Carolina, 215 ; Alabama, 87 ; Georgia, 274 ; Mississippi, 100 ; Florida, 38 ; Louisiana, 118 ; Arkansas, 128 ; Kentucky, 87. Total number, 2,763. General Butler has addressed a Republican gather ing at Gloucester, Massachusetts, on the 25th ult. He said the issues of 1860 were still before the country. The rebels had " forfeited their property, their rights, and even their lives, if rebels were hanged, which unfortunately they were not." He denounced the Philadelphia Convention as composed of men who did not truly- represent their consti tuencies. He referred to the New Orleans riot, and said that the President had tried to gloss the whole affair over. After emitting a good deal of the stereotyped abuse of the President and the Con servatives; generally, General Butler concluded by declaring that unless the Northern people were firm in sustaining Congress they would have their work of the past four years to do over again. "If this state of things cannot be altered," said General Butler, "we will march again,: and woe be to him who opposes us." At the " Labour Congress," sitting at Baltimore August 24th, the following resolutions were passed : —Never to relax their efforts to enforce 8 hours as a legal day's work. That each working man should enrol himself in a trade union, where one existed, or to form one if it did not already exist. That all newspapers favouring the Labour movement should receive the support and patronage of the working men. That they hailed with delight the organisation of co-operative stores and workshops in the country. That the system of prison labour, which enabled employers to obtain from Govern ment cheaper labour than could be rendered by honest mechanics having families to support, should be stopped ; and that no prison labour should be granted except at the same rates of wages demanded by mechanics outside. That they pledge individual and undivided support to the sewing-women of America, and solicited their hearty co-operation, knowing that no class stood more in need of amelio ration of position. Attention was invited to the objects of the American Industrial Agency, which proposes the capitalisation of the surplus earnings of labour, for the twofold purpose of promoting an increased production of cotton, and of aiding and elevating the working classes. Capitalists were urged to consider the blessings to be derived from investing their means in the erection of suitable dwellings for the labouring classes, to insure pro per ventilation and to avoid overcrowding, leading to vice, pauperism, and crime. That the whole public domain should be disposed of to actual settlers only, and that proper officers be appointed to carry the foregoingresolutions into effect : —"That a maximum price be fixed for the whole agricultural domain to be disposed of to actual settlers only ; and in cases where the legislators might wish to make public works, as railways, bridges, roads, agricultural colleges, &c., &c., it should be con sidered unjust to make special grants of theselands, but only the proceeds thereof. That this Congress deprecates " strikes," and recommends all other honourable means before such a course be taken. The formation of mechanics' institutes, lyceums, read ing-rooms, and buildings for such purposes, was recommended as a means of advancing the intel lectual culture and social improvement of the work ing-man. That, in case of pressure from want of employment, the working men were recommended to proceed to the public lands and become actual settlers, as this Labour Congress believes that if the industry of the country could be coupled with its natural advantages, it would be both an individual relief and a national advantage. After some routine business, and a prayer from Mr. Emmons, the Congress adjourned. The American journals are full of details of the horrible massacre of New Orleans. We transcribe to our columns some of the more important de spatches on the subject. It is the Southern party which should most fiercely denounce this terrible tragedy, for it is their cause which has been stricken by the fatal blow. If the Philadelphia Convention fails in its object, it will be mainly dile to this brutal exhibition of feeling—a feeling which has sunk deep in the Northern mind. Major Monroe has done more by one act of barbarous inhumanity to injure his cause than the combined and energetic efforts of the Southern party in the North can undo. The consequence of the New Orleans massacre may be more momentous than is yet dreamt of, and more lamentable in its results. But the Northern people should not forget the excitable nature of those born under so hot a sun, and the long years of provocation which the conquest and military occupation of their native city must have generated. Nor should the condemnation be general for the wickedness of one mob. The Chicago Tribune closes an article on Sheridan's despatches, in these words : —" Mr. John son is coming to Chicago with this blood of loyal men upon his garments. We advise loyal citizens to avoid him as they would any other convicted criminal. Let those who approve of the New Orleans massacre run after him and hurrah for him. Let all others favour him with silence and yield him room." The following letter was written to Governor Wright, the popular Minister of the United States at the Court of Berlin, on the occasion of the re ceipt of 25 tons of American ice, sent by the Ame ricans of Hamburgh (through the enterprising firm of J. It. M'Donald and Co., of that city), and which wore contributed for the wounded Prussian and Austrian soldiers : Copy of a letter from Count Bismarck. te ß r e y r o li u n, h A a u d g be us e t n 9t g h o . od Dear Sir,---Prom the enclosed let I see the contributors to enough to communicate to that munificent donation of IC e, Itch . has been sent suc cessively from Hamburgh for r itr w il n osp , i f tls, include a ar-office has con sideral number of your count of His already conveyed to the committee . the th e an W ks .

Joseph A. Wright, Envoy Extraordinary, and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States. American securities slightly retrograded during the early part of this week ; but a demand set in from the Continent, and 5-20's have recovered a good part of the depreciation. Atlantic and Great Western Debentures, after being similarly affected, have rallied in the same way. The securities of this great American railway are becoming better understood, and command greater attention. The Erie Railway shares and Illinois Central have also improved. But the great speculation continues to be directed to all descriptions of shares connected with the Atlantic Telegraph Cable. The jobbers on the Stook F 4 change Are, for the met part, "bears," and whenever the public show a disposition to sell the " House" instantly responds by throwing down the market, which at once bring in buyers, and again forces up the shares. This accounts for the great fluctuations. The intrinsic value is so great that the market cannot droop much, in spite of it being the interest of the jobbers that it should. A youngmember of the Stock Exchange, who operated for a fall in these shares, is unable to meet his en gagements. The English Funds continue steady, although they have been slightly affected by the unfavourable weather, and the consequent rise in the price of wheat. Mr. Wendell Phillips has declined the nomination to Congress which was offered to him by the working men of Boston. Frederick Douglass, the negro orator, has been unanimously appointed by the Republicans of Rochester delegate to the State Convention of New York, this being the first instance of a negro receiving a similar appoint ment from any political party in America. Prof essorl•iew ton, of Yale College, Connecticut, predicts a great fall of meteors on the 13th or 11th of November next, and thinks it will be the last of this century. New volumes of poetry from Longfellow and Whittier will appear during the coming season. Numerous suites for damages on account of false imprisonment have been commenced against Secretary Stanton, who, it is said, will take refuge behind the Con gressional enactment, protecting officials against prosecu tion for acts done in discharge of public duties. General Butler has made a speech denouncing the President, and advocating the exclusion of the South from representation indefinitely. . _ A strong body of Federal soldiers have been stationed as a guard at the residence of Governor Wells, in New Orleans, at his own urgent request. Allegard 'Woolard, aged 105 years, died near Lebanon, Tennessee, last month. He was born in North Carolina, was a sailor in early life, and emigrated to Wilson county, Tennessee, over sixty years ago. Henry Ward Beecher reports an income, for last year, of $9,000. The number of deaths from cholera in New York thus far reported is 1,172; in Cincinatti, 1,050 ; and in St. Louis, 1,300. Some amusement has been caused at Washington by one of the President's friends having franked and sent to various parts of the country 5,000 copies of a very Radical document, having mistaken it for one favourable to the Presidential policy. Juarez has sent messengers to enlist the Indians of Eastern Texas as sharpshooters in his army, which, sinco his recent successes, has been largely increased from various sources. A band of desperadoes attacked and broke up a negro camp-meeting at Hanover, Maryland, 31st August, several negroes being injured. South American advices received in New York up to August 1 state that the allied republics have de termined to continue a retaliatory war upon Spanish com merce. The Charleston and Savannah Railroad is to be sold on tho 20th of November. A cheese weighing three and a half tons has been manufactured in Canada. A quarry of superb variegated marble has been discovered in Alabama, near the Chattanooga Railroad. For six weeks not a drop of rain had fallen on the city of Chattanooga, and during all the time the ther mometor had ranged, during the middle of the day from 92 to 102 degrees. _ _ General Sheridan has been applied to for protec tion by many of the Union citizens, and the Tribune, the only loyal daily newspaper in the city, has been forced to suspend publication through fear of mob violence. Forty-eight deaths from cholera occurred in New Orleans during last Saturday and Sunday. The disease continues to abate in New York and Brooklyn. Only 21 cholera deaths were reported in Cincinnati yesterday. In St. Louis the epidemic carried off 47 victims in the 24 hours ending yesterday morning. The Proposed Medical Acts Amenment Bill. (From the " Anglo-American Times.") Robert Hunter, Esq., M.D., is a licensed practitioner of Canada, with a degree of Doctor of Medicine conferred by the University of New York. This gentleman makes pub lic in the present pamphlet a series of letters from himself to the Secretary of State for Home Affairs and to the General Medical Council, claiming for his follow-practi tioners, whose degrees have been granted by properly con stituted collegiate bodies both in our colonies and abroad the right of practising in the United Kingdom without tak ing out a fresh license from one of the nineteen bodies au thorised here for the purpose. Dr. Hunter declares that the colleges both in Canada and in the United States require a higher degree of proficiency from their candidates before they grant diplomas than these bodies, more especially than the Royal College of Surgeons. Ho maintains that the certificates of proficiency issued by these foreign col leges on being duly authenticated, should, without further examination, qualify those to whom they were granted to practise in England. Ho states that the licenses issued by the constituted bodies in England are thus accepted universally abroad; and urges the injustice of the profession iu England claiming this right abroad, at tho same time that they deny it to their foreign profes sional brethren. Dr. Hunter writes with groat force, but not without asperity. He commences the series by a letter to tho Home Secretary, in which the whole subject is ably argued. This letter was forwarded to the General Medical Council, calling for their observations thereon, and was replied to by Dr. Burrows, the president. The answer is, certainly a weak reply. The attack is con tinued by the Colonial physician, who carefully draws up a synopsis of the Medical Act, 21 and 22 Victoria, chap. 90, which the Medical Council propose to modify and amend, so as to exclude all practitioners iu the United Kingdom, not licensed by one of the nineteen bodies, and forwards a copy to each member of the Lords and Com mons. By the new act every American and Colonial phy sician becomes liable to a fine of £2O for using tho title of Doctor of Medicine, although regularly conferred by a foreign or colonial university. All who were in practice before Ist October, 1858, were not to be interfered with, but those arriving after aro hold by the now law to be quacks, liable to be arraigned before a magistrate, and fined £2O for every prescription they make. This law does not confine itself to making the home countries an exclu sive preserve, but by an Imperial act of usurpation it de clares English practitioners to have the right of practising in all the colonies. Dr. Hunter points out the fact that the Imperial Parliament has no power to extend beyond the United Kingdom the right of practice in medicine ; that right is conceded, and English physicians everywhere re ceived on equal terms by their professional brethren abroad. He warns the Medical Council that the colonies will resent the passage of the Act he denounces, and that it will eventually lead to to 'he exclusion of British medical practitioners from the licence of pursuing their profession in the colonies, without undergoing a similar probation there, to which colonial physicians are subjected here. Ho shows that the whole body will be the main losers by such restrictions, for while thousands of English physicians seek abroad a field in which to exercise their profession few colonial physicians return with this object to England. Dr. Hunter next addresses a letter to Dr. Burrows, dated January 3d, 1866, calling his attention to a paragraph in the Lancet, referring to a recent conference of a delegation from the General Council with the Home Secretary with regard to the modification of the Medical Act. lie wishes to ascertain whether the modifications will benefit, or otherwise, the status of colonial and American physicians and surgeons residing in England. He repeats his argu ments, and received 12th January a reply from the Presi dent, embodying, in a few words, a defence of the modifi cations proposed, without stating what those modifications are. On the 21st May, Dr. Hunter again addresses Dr. Bur rows ; again requesting that copies of tho proposed restric tions to be imposed on colonial tnedical men in England should be furnished to him. The registrar of the Council writes in reply, stating that they will shortly be made public. On the 19th July Dr. Hunter again addresses the Presi dent, complaining that though several months had elapsed, and that a long and important session of the delegates from the medical colleges had been held in London, yet .no communication had been received by him on the subject of the letters he had written. In a long and able letter he advocates the claims of colonial physicians and those of America and other foreign countries to the privilege of practising in England, a right they so freely concede to English physicians. In this letter he controverts the statements made by Dr. Burrows in his letter to him of the 12th January, and he ends by announcing his intention to place this correspondence in the hands of the Govern ment to ask from it that protection for the colonial pro fession, and that justice for foreign physicians resident in England, which the Medical Council has denied. On the 23d July he fulfils this intention, and submits to the Honourable S. 11.

The position legitimate affording taken by Robert Hunter, Esq., M.D., is fair and honor able to himself. lle has come forward as the cham pion of colonial and foreign physicians, to make a determined stand against a measure which he de nounces to b e not Only injurious, but insulting to his class. Theoretically he is right ; for, as he says, the study of medicine is awl perilap sny otw x 4,ciwaw. Great Wont and universal, and less local in i t s appli great success should command the best field, in justice both to that talent, and, still more, to the human race. Our Free-trade principles should be practically applied as universally as they can be made applicable. There may be objections practically on which we aro not qualified to pronounce an opinion. No science is so hid in mystery as that of medicine; and from ignorance, presumption, and assumption mankind has suffered more than from any other cause from the hands of their fellow-men. War has done much to destroy the human race, but prescriptions have done more. It is, however, manifestly absurd for England to assume that no diplomas are of value save thosogranted by herself. America, availing herself of the war, has made immense strides in surgery. No doubt local causes must influence extensively local practice. Constitutions vary all over the world as well as diseases. Certain climates produce special results on the human frame, the effects of which are bast known to the physicians who have long witnessed and treated them. There is, however, no pro fession the brotherhood of which should be so universal, end it is clearly a wise policy Oat the fraternity should be drawn together, and every advance in the science intro duced everywhere for the advantage of all. This great object cannot be obtained by restrictions, and we can scarcely imagine anything more gross than prohibiting by legal enactment the right of even assuming a title gained in a foreign university. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—That the strongest ironclad afloat might be sent to the bottom as easily as a wooden frigate is now a fact of which it is hardly possible to entertain a doubt. A target with greater resisting powers than the broadside of any iron-cased frigate or the turret of any Monitor has been completely smashed by a particular kind of shot fired from a particular kind of gun, and that gun and that shot are of British make and invention. It is of equal import ance to observe that the gun which has proved so irresistible is not a piece of any prodigious calibre or impracticable weight, but only such a gun as could be carried and worked in a ship's broadside. Whereas, too, it is scarcely credible that any ship could be sent to sea with thicker or more ponderous armour than was represented in the target demo lished, it is very credible indeed that the calibre, charge, and power of the gun might be increased, so that the essential question between ships and guns may be regarded as settled. That is the conclusion forced upon us by the results of the remarkable ex periments just reported from Shoeburyness. The target exposed to fire on this occasion was built up of 18 inches of teak, and this compact mass of wood work was covered in front with solid plates of rolled iron eight inches thick, and strengthened at the back by an inner skin of iron three-quarters of an inch thick. Altogether, therefore, this imaginary ship's broadside was about two feet three inches in thickness—that is, about as thick as the wall of an old Norman castle, while the materials were hard teak and solid iron, instead of ashler and rubble. If castles, in fact, had been built in such a fashion, they would have remained up to our own day as impreg nable to artillery as they originally were to bows and arrows. Nevertheless, when a gun described as the " nine-inch muzzle-loading wrought-iron Woolwich rifle gun was trained against this target, and fired with a charge of 431 b. of powder and a 2501 b shell of Major Palliser's chilled metal, the effect was decisive. The projectile, we are told, " went clean through everything, plate, backing, and inner skin, and lodged itself, after exploding in some timber, about 20 feet behind the target. Any thing more crushing," it is added, " than the shock of this missile it would be difficult to conceive, for it struck full upon one of the vertical parts of the target, and tore its way through as if only opposed by a timber screen." A repetition of the experiment did but confirm the results, and the main fact, therefore, is placed beyond reach of doubt. One or two reservations should, it is true, be put upon record. These effects were produced under con ditions exceptionally favourable to the gun, which was fired at a comparatively short range, and against an immovable target struck at right angles. It is obvious that such conditions could not always be anticipated in action between ships carefully manoeuvred, though an English captain would pro bably ask for nothing more than equality of speed to give him all necessary opportunity for the prac tice of his guns. Still it must be noticed that when the target was inclined at an angle to the line of fire the projectiles did fail to penetrate it. They tore tremendous holes in the plating, and one of them actually got in to a depth of 12i inches, but they never went quite through. We should also ob serve that Mr. Chalmers, the inventor of a very cele brated target, claims to be able still to construct a block of wood and iron which shall be impregnable to shot, but practically the case stands as we describe it. Now, as no ironclad afloat carries solid armour of eight inches in thickness ; and as the composite or laminated armourof the American turrets, formed of single-inch plates screwed one upon another, will bear no comparison with solid metal, it follows, as we have said, that the armour of any fighting ship at present known might be completely demolished by a 250-pounder guu. The deductions naturally flowing from this conclusion are important in the ex treme. In the first place, if we are to accept these facts as permanently established, we may dismiss the question of monster cannon from our minds. A gun which will sink any enemy is quite big enough, and nothing would be gained by a bigger one. The hole made in the Shoebury target by a nine-inch Palisser shellwas large enough to settle the fate of any vessel. afloat. If the Americans prefer 15-inch or 20-inch shot, they have a right to their choice, but it is ob vious that this weight of metal and calibre of ord nance represent so much superfluity, if the required work can be performed by a nine-inch gun with equal effect. And this again relieves us of another difficulty. We shall be no longer under the neces sity of building turret ships. In so far as a turret vessel represents any other advantages of model, the device may still be a serviceable one, but as regards the peculiar capacity of the turrets for car rying enormous guns, the recommendation wal of course disappear when enormous guns are no longer required. As far as" we can now see, the biggest guns wanted for sea service can be carried easily in broadside, and consequently a broadside vessel is just as good as ever. But the facts here have a still wider application. We remarked the other day, before these experiments had been made, and the whole question appeared to be one rather of guns than ships, and this view of the case is now decisively confirmed. We might almost say, after what has thus been proved, that the value of an iron-clad as a fighting vessel has vanished. When ship's armour was first introduced it rendered ships impregnable, and hence its importance. But now that the cannon of that day aro to be superseded by the Woolwich gun of the present the armour confers no such se curity, and so its importance is lost. When we read that the sides of the Warrior are simply as vulner able as so much basket work it seems impossible to regard the Warrior as more of a man-of-war than a stout old frigate. This, of course, would be an extreme conclusion. The Warrior's armour would protect her up to a certain point, and insure her a proportionate superiority, nor is it a slight advantage for a ship to be invulnerable except under peculiar conditions of attack. Still the broad fact remains that an ironclad is as help less as any wooden corvette against a certain gun which every British ship ougt to carry ; and we are mistaken if a short advance from this point of departure will not conduct us to some very satis factory conclusions. Presuming ironciads and wooden ships to be thus placed upon an equality of hopelessness before modern artillery, may we not re consider our opinions about the worthlessness of our old wooden navy? That navy comprises vessels by the score which, if wood is as good as iron, are still the most magnificent ships in the world, and is not wood as good as iron if one material is just as strong, or as weak, as the other ? Suppose one of our fine old frigates armed with these Woolwich guns, and matched against an ironclad ; according to what we have now learnt, she might sink this ironclad, and what. worse could the ironclad do to her? Of course the ironclad would have the advantage of her armour to a certain extent, and perhaps it would only be a fortunate shot, or a shot delivered under very favourable conditions, which would do her any fatal damage. But this damage might be done, and the knowledge that it might be done would alto gether destroy the theory now accepted respecting the relative powers of ironclads and wooden. vessels. Precisely, however, in this same proportion would the present ideas respecting the inutility of our old navy be dispelled also, and our old superiority as a maritime Power would be suddenly restored. Only, to secure all this profit, we should lose no time about the manufacture and issue of the new Wool , with guns. THE " ANGLO-AMERICAN TIMES."---A com pany has been formed to increase and bring within the reach of every class facilities for travel. The central offices are situated in London, at 26, Henrietta-street, Covent Garden. The As sociation will be known in England as the Uni versal Tourist Company. In Frauce it is desig nated the Campagnie' Universel de Voyage, the purport being to put into practical application the Imperial decree of July 12, 1865, " to lay out by public and private subscription, or any other way, funds, inte n d e d t o g i v e the working classes greater facilities for visiting and studying the Universal Exhibition of 1867, at Paris." The Company pro poses to contract with Railway and Navigation Companies, with Hotels, board and lodging-houses, with places of instruction and amusement—by com bined operations to secure cheaper modes of transit, and cheaper means of living with the pleasure and profit of travel. In view of the coming Paris Ex hibition, anticipating a large influx of tourists from all parts of the world to the great centres of Paris and London, extensive arrangements will be corn pleted to receive strangers at all the principal ports, and to forward all the objects the tourists propose. The company is an extension of a scheme originated by Monsieur Alf. Duboys de Lavigene to assist visitors to the Great Exhibition in London, in 1862. The practical experience then gained has changed a crude and imperfect plan into a well-matured system. Long and close study of the details, to gether with a more intimate knowledge of the num bers likely to apply, the requirements of travellers, and the advantages of combination, have enabled the manager to work out to a nicety the objects proposed. In former days strangers who proceeded to a foreign land to see a great show were beset by sharpers, swindlers, and extortioners, and generally became victims in proportion to their poverty and. helplessness. Without a knowledge of the lan guage, the customs, and laws of the country, amid a throng where the keenest faculties of each were scarcely sufficient to save himself from imposition, the friendless tourist generally returned a sadder if a wiser man, with a greater knowledge of what was villanous and bad in the strange country than edified with aught he had seen. The wealthy em ployed couriers and furnished themselves with Murray's hand-book. They paid for one imposi tion to guard themselves Min a score. But the poor had to fight their way along, often literally, and under every disadvantage. At the same time they could be seen submitting quietly to a gross imposition, and protesting energetically with officials against a law of the country. In their ignorance they fought against right, and surrendered to wrong, and always came to grief. All this the Universal Tourist Company propose to rectify. Nor do they confine their intentions to enable the stranger to travel and live as cheaply as the natives, but by previous arrangement and combination to do this on even cheaper terms. They ask the public to form themselves into travelling parties or clubs, to depute one to communicate to the General Manager their number, period of departure and proposed route, to authorise the Company to arrange for their reception, transit, and means of living. At a trifling cost the Company issues to each an " Ac commodation ticket," and the holder becomes en titled to all the services of the Company's agents. Thus, if the 7th New York Regiment proceeds to the Paris Exhibition, via Liverpool, as we believe is proposed, and the arrangements be confided to this Company, they will be met by agents before landing, with hotel accommodation secured, and with luggage vans. An express train will be ordered, with the necessary arrangements for their reception in Loudon, with a programme of sights worth seeing and amusements open, and with every information required or sought. In France inter preters will await the arrival of the distinguished Regiment, and at Paris they will be conducted to their hotels. A Company thus organised is in a position to contract with Clubs, Mechanics' Insti tutes, employers, and parties of working me n , t o secure on moderate terms the great. object of a week in Paris, while the World's Show is open. A com munity clubing their funds, and using the machinery of this Company, can travel economically, secure good accommodation, see everything, and han g to gether till their return. In. the different cities of America parties can be formed, and under the vigi lent care of agents of a responsible Company, may enjoy themselves free from the cares and worries of constant interruptions and disappointments, which so often mar their pleasure from the moment of their arrival at a foreign port till they again de part for their native land. THE AMERICAN PRESS. The New York Nation, speaking of President Johnson's reply to the address of the Philadelphia Convention, says that it was in great part a repeti tion of statements of his opinions and feelings with which the public is already familiar. But he went further than he has yet gone in denunciations of Congress, using one phrase which has a somewhat ominous sound. He spoke of Congress as " a body hanging upon the verge of the Government, as it were ; a body called, and which assumes to be, the Congress of the United States, but is, in fact, a Congress of only part of the State.",. It would be easy to set this down as an indication that Mr. Johnson is preparing his own mind and that of his followers for the creation of a Congress of his own in December, and for an attempt at the forcible re pudiation of the body now iu existence. We prefer, however, to believe that he is yet a great distance from any such step ; and we call attention to the phrase simply as an illustration of the lengths of absurdity to which his own mental obtuseness and the flattery of his admirers are carrying him. It must be remembered that the Congress now sitting was elected by the loyal States for the purpose of governing the United States in peace or war, weal or woe, for the space of two years. Mr. Johnson, on the other hand, was elected Vice-President as a compliment to himself and his State, and nobody who voted for him had the smallest anticipation that he would ever be called ' upon to exercise any greater share either in reconstruction or in the general administration of our affairs that falls to the lot of the Speaker of the Senate. In other words, he was to occupy towards the executive the same relation as Hannibal Hamlin occupied towards it. He did not receive a single Southern vote, and was detested through every Southern State with a cor diality unknown in the case of any Northern Radical. He holds his power he now exercises by an accident, and when he speaks of himself as "a department of the Government," and calls Congress "a body hang ing on the verge of the Government," he does no harm, we admit ; but he reveals a state of mind, as we have often remarked before, which proves his presence in the White House, at such a juncture as the present one, to be most calamitous. THE RIGHTS OF OUR NATURALISED CITIZENS LN EUROPE. • (From the New York Evening Post.) The war in Germany is likely to produce many cases of great hardship for American naturalised citizens, who may be found visiting the land of their birth. We hope they may be met by our Govern ment with such a precision in their claims and state ments, and such a full understanding and firm maintenance of the exact right, as shall lead to a final settlement of a question that has been the source of much perplexity, and that is not yet de termined. It is reported that " The authorities of the city of Muscatine, lowa, have received information that Mr. Henry Funk, late Mayor of that place, while travelling through his native country on a pleasure tour, was seized by Austrian officials and forced into the ranks of the army, on the ground that he owed military service to that country and must perform it. The fact that he bad become a citizen of the United States, and was entitled to prot ec ti on as suc h, was n ot sufficient to save him from seizure." It was generally supposed that the question in volved in this case was substantially settled in the case of Koszta, the Hungarian, in 1853. The Ame rican view was ably maintained by Mr. Marcy, then our Secretary of State, who insisted that foreign Governments had no longer any claims upon their former subjects after they had become naturalised citizens of the United States. But the case went off, at last, on the point that Koszta had been seized on Turkish territory, without any warrant of Turkish authority, while he was in fact doing business under a letter of license from our consul. It was said that, by usage in Turkey, such a letter entitled him to American protection against arrest, whether he was in fact a citizen or not. The case now before us, of the ex-Mayor of Muscatine, is probably free from any complications, and will, therefore, afford our Government an op portunity for a vigorous and successful maintenance of aright which is absolutely essential to our national honour and independence. The rule should be, that a naturalised citizen of the United States acquires all the rights of citizenship, and is as entirely dissevered from his native country as if he had not been born in it. It is time for our lawyers and judges, our statesmen and writers on public affairs, to wean themselves from a servile dependence on the dicta of English courts, and plant themselves on the broad principles of the law of nations, that " every nation claims the right to give the complete character of a citizen to an alien, without consult ing the wish of the stole of his birth." [Dana's Wheaton, p. 143, 22.] Another case is reported in the papers, of impress ment by a Prussian than-of-war from the American steamer Baltic, at Bremerhaven. It is published by the purser of the Baltic, but not in a way to present the legal questions that arise. It does not appear whether the man was an American citizen. The impressment was done on the assumption that he was a Prussian subject. The certificate of our consular agent is as follows : " Consular Agency of the United States of " America, 4 Geestemunde, July 18, 1866. " 1, the undersigned, consular agent of the United States of America for Geestemunde and the dependenties thereof, do hereby certify that according to an order of the commander of the Prussian man-of-war Nymphe, lying in the river here, the Prussian citizen, Charles Berger, is bound to become a navy soldier on board the said man-of war. For this reason the said Charles Berger cannot return hi the steamship Baltic to New York. " Given under my hand and the seal of this con sular agency the day and year above written. " EDWARD ULRICHs, " United States Consular Agent." Of course, the captain of a merchant ship, in the presence of four Prussian ships-of-war, had no al ternative but to give up the man to his fate. The man was shipped in New York by regular shipping articles. It will be a serious interruption to our commercial interests if American ships are liable to be stripped of their necessary hands o n such pretexts. We have had one wa r fo r "sailors' rights," and our people will never acquiesce in the slightest encroachment by any foreign power whatever. Prussia must be made to give up the man, and to apologise for the gross insult to our flag. Indications of a Closer Intercourse between England and America. It is interesting to watch the growth of the con nection between America and the mother -country' . First, we have the revival of trade—commoditie s beginning tollow again into their old channels, with all the intimate relations grounded on so enormous a barter. Gradually, the number of steamers pll ing between the great ports increases. Line is added to line ; yet the increase of passengers outstrips the • increase of accommodation. Americans re-appear in numbers in English society—great hotels are laid out expressly to secure their custom, and the fashion able shops begin to feel the weight of their patron age. The Great Eastern starts on her enterprise , and ends, triumphantly, in establishing telegraphic communication between London and New York not one, but two cables. By degrees we begin to feel the influence of the change. American inven tions, American notions, American drinks, are again coming prominently forward. Five-twenties rise into a favourite investment,. and capitalists seek for information about American railways. W e noticed last week the foundation of one of those houses which have succeeded so admirably in Paris — a great American agency, placed in a central spot where Americans most congregate, and over" shadoNs ed by the Langham Hotel, is likely soon to become the rendezious of all the most prominent Americans whom business, or even pleasure, Mal bring to London. A business already so well known, and whose ramifications are so extensive as that of Gilead A. Smith, will have little difficulty in forming the wide connection indispensable to the SUCCNS of such. an undertaking. We will not just now allude further to this establishment, so novel in this country ; and we mention it only as a strik ing instance of the growth of the intimacy between England and America. - As swallows portend summer, so are these signs significant of the friendly bonds which are uniting these nations. The best proof a keen man of business can give in his strong belief that the tendency is towards peace , good-will, and close alliance, is to invest in under' takings which must depend mainly for succes s , pn this result. The civilised world has had its period of repose between periods of exhaust' ing warfare. From Waterloo to the Alma the great nations of the earth had been in comparn" tive peace. From the Crimea to the present day each of the great nations has in its turn been convulsed with war. We may now fairly hope that a period of profound peace is again dawning. Th e United States had determined on the extinction 01 slavery, and slavery could only be extinguished by war. The fight has been fought, slavery has been extinguished, and however bitter may be the poll' tical questions which have arisen from so astound ing a change in society, it is to the last degree in ). " probable that a people which professes to have mor e brains than that of any other on earth will enter on a second period of self-annihilation for an object which does not require war for its elucidatio n. England has ceased to meddle, and is not likely t° be again a player in the wicked and unprofitable game. The resources of America are only begin' ning to be developed. It is the grand field for capital, for enterprise, for the untrammelled energy of bone and sinew. The emigrant resources of Ire; land are dwindling to insignificance, while those 01 England are increasing, and much good may resat from the introduction into America of a superio r class of English mechanics and labourers. Arn e : rican travellers in England, and English enn" grants in America will have a stru c g effect in moulding the opinions of these na" Lions, speaking the same language, in assimilati n g institutions, and in correcting the erroneous ideas which mostly proceed from ignorance of each other, If the countries knew each other intimately hostil e criticisms would be heard no more, or be heard 0 1 9 from quarters where they would meet with nothiog but contempt. The unbounded love and fraternity professed between despotic Russia and Republican America is a mere farce. These nations have little or nothing in common, while the mother county/. and her great offspring are bound by every tie et kindred, language, laws, and institutions—not t° mention enormous material interests. That Mae' rica should pass by England to rush into the on: braces of Russia is as absurd, not to say u nnatur l _ o 1 as an Englishman rushing past a Yankee into tn arms of a Chinaman. We hope soon to see th e end of these theatrical follies, and that we may b old towards each other the position clearly indicated by Providence.—Anglo-American Times. COUNTRY MARKETS.
