RAILWAY INT. LLIGENCE• HIGHLAND. The half-yearly general meeting of this company was held on Tuesday, at Inverness—Mr. A. Mathe son, M.P., in the chair. The report, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun, was held as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said the works of the undertaking were now all completed. They had settled with all their contractors, with the exception of one firm, and the differences between them were in course of settlement by arbitration. He believed they had already paid that firm very nearly the full amount they were entitled to. The present outstanding liabilities of the company, in cluding sums due for land, amounted in all to about £70,000. At the meeting in April last he expressed a confident hope that negotiations then in progress would enable the directors to place the floating debt on a permanent footing at a fixed rate of 5 per cent. interest, but the subsequent pressure on the money market was's° intense that they failed in obtaining about £90,000 of the amount required ; and on this latter sum they had during the last six months been paying Bank rates. He might say that the whole of their floating debt, amounting to £505,000, might now be considered as borrowed for a term of years on loan, bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent. The directors had been enabled to carry through those arrangements by interposing their personal security, in addition to depositing correapand ing amounts of stock in the hands of the lenders. The excess of interest over 5 per cent. paid on thes9o,ooo, amounting to about £l,BOO, as well as the general balance of interest account, had been charged to revenue. The restrictions on the transit of cattle had continued until late in July, so that the past half-year had the benefit of only one month of the ordinary cattle traffic on the line. That had les sened the amount of .their earnings by nearly £3OO per week for five months of the half-year. In spite of this drawback the earnings for the past six months exceeded those of the corresponding period of 1865 by about £5,000, while the working ex penses had been 40 per cent. of the receipts as com pared with 44f per cent. last year. (Hear.) Every endeavour was made to develope the traffic and keep down expenditure. The sheep and cattle traffic showed a large increase during the present month as compared with the same month last year ; and still they knew that live stock to a large amount continued to be conveyed by sea to the south from districts to the north and west of them. The opening up of these districts by independent railway com panies in connection with their line could not fail to secure to them a very large accession of traffic. They had recently been in negotiation with the Post-office authorities for an acceleration of the mails between Perth and Inverness. They had offered to run the mail trains in four hours, which would place Inverness and other towns within six hours of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and 16 hours of London, in consideration of receiving £5,000 ayear in addition to what they now got. The negotia tions were still pending, and he trusted they would result M something satisfactory. The Duke of SUTHERLAND seconded the motion for the adoption of the report, which, after a few observations by Mr. Orphoot, Mr. Davidson, and Mr. Gentle, was carried unanimously. The dividends on the 6 per cent., 5 per cent., and 4i per cent. preference stocks were declared, and also on the ordinary stock, at the rate of 1 per cent. per annum, less income tax, for the past half-year. The meeting was then made special to consider a proposition for subscribing towards the Sutherland Railway and holding shares in that company. The CHAIRMAN explained that the Sutherland Railway would form a continuation of the Highland Railway northwards from Bonar-bridge to Brora, a distance of 33 miles. The act authorising the construction of the line was passed in June, 1865. The Board had promised the promoters, prior to going to Parliament, that they would recommend the shareholders of the Highland Railway to sub scribe £30,000 towards the undertaking. Contracts had been entered into for the construction of the line to Golspie, a distance of 27 miles, soon after the act had received the Royal assent. The works were proceeded with, and the company was asked to fulfil its obligation; but, in consequence of finan cial difficulties, they could not then subscribe the requisite sum. To get over the difficulty, so far as funds were concerned, the Duke of Sutherland had handsomely agreed, iu the' event of the vote being passed, to take up £30,000 of the Highland Com pany's unissued 4} per cent. preference stock and pay cash to that amount. In this way the com pany would be placed in funds to pay the calls on the Sutherland Railway shares. (Cheers.) The cost of the railway from Bonar-bridge to Brora would be about £200,000, and, with the exception of the Highland Company's subscription and a small sum subscribed by the tenants and others, the whole ex pense of it would fall on the Duke of Sutherland. He then showed that the construction of the new line would bring additional traffic on the Highland line of upwards of £4,000 a year, which would pay them well for the subscription. The Sutherland line was a link in the chain of the through line to Caith ness, and could not fail to hasten the construction of the latter line. He concluded by moving that £30,000 be subscribed to the Sutherland Railway. Major CUMMING-BRUCE, ALP., se conded the mo tion, which, after a long discussion, w as carried b y a large majority, and the proceedings terminated. SUTHERLAND. The annual meeting of this company was held on Tuesday at Inverness—the Duke of Sutherland in the chair. Mr. Dougall, the secretary, read the report, which stated that the works on the line between Ardgay and Kirton were making satisfactory progress. The foundations of the Oykell viaduct had been secured and the structure would be ready for the ironwork next spring. The bill for authorising a deviation of the line near Dunrobin received the royal assent on July 16. The sum of £47,556 had been received on capital account, and £41,935 had been expended to 31st August last, leaving a balance of £5,621. On the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr. Matheson, M.P., the report was unanimously adopted. The Duke of Sutherland was re-elected a director of the company, and also Mr. Anderson, the retiring auditor. The CHAIRMAIsT congratulated the shareholders on the subscription of £30,000 by the Highland Rail way Company, which would enable them topush on the works with vigour at least as far as Golspie, and ultimately further. (Hear, hear.) The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. DINGWALL AND SKYE. The annual meeting of this company was held on Tuesday at Inverness—Mr. Matheson, M.P., in the chair. Th state report stated that chi e fly i n consequence o f the months tat e tt f e t orks emoney-market during the last 12 the directorshad not been commenced, and regretted ith to say that the difficulties in arranging certain landowners on the line, al luded to in the last report, still existed.

The retiring directors and auditorwere re-elected, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN. The traffic receipts onothis company's line from the Ist of January to the 15th of October amounted, for passengers, to $1,029,909 ; for freight, to $3,227,222 ; and for sundries to sl43,9G7—total, $4,401,098 ; and for the corresponding period last year to 0,059,873, showing an increased 041,225. MISCELLANEOUS AMERICAN NEWS. WHAT CAME OF SMOKING A PIPE ON A KEG OF POWDER. From the Winona Republican.—Our townsman, Mr. H. C. Train, had a narrow escape from a frightful death on Wednesday. He started for Rushford in the morning, in company with a Mr. Hanson, a merchant of that place. The two gen tlemen were riding in a buggy drawn by one horse. In the buggy there was a keg of powder weighing twenty-five pounds, together with other small packages of light goods. When they had got to a place about two miles east of the " T" tavern; the powder by some means exploded. The explosion was, of course, terrific, and Mr. Hanson and his companion were thrown some distance up and for ward. The horse, in addition to losing all the hair on his tail, became considerably demoralised, and ran at the top of his speed. The two men fell upon the whiffietree, and Mr. Hanson, to clear himself from the wreck, jumped over the wheel, falling into a mudhole in a half-stupefied condition. Mr. Train clung to the pieces and was carried forward about a mile at a pretty rapid pace. On coming to a stop he took an inventory of the con cern, and found that the buggy was completely shattered—the bottom and seat entirely gone, an the reach and axles bent nearly double, so that the four wheels came almost together. Mr. Train him self had been stripped of his outer clothing, about one-thirdof thehair on his head, and all his whiskers burned off, and his eyebrows and lashes gone. Yet, strange to say, he was not hurt in any other way, and after extinguishing the fire in his remaining clothing he started back to find his companion. Upon meeting him he laughed heartily at the ridi culous figure which they presented, but Mr. Hanson could not nee it in that light. The latter was badly bruised, and one of his hands was severely burned, but he had suffered no serious injury. The two contrived to get into Rushford, thankful that a worse fate had not overtaken them. Mr. Train thinks that the powder was ignited by a spark from Hanson's pipe, who was smoking at the time the ex plosion took place. A WONDERFUL DREAM AND A NARROW ESCAPE FROM DESTRUCTION. From the Dayton Journal, Oct. 3.—Mr. Robert son, Mail Agent on the A. and G. W. Road, be tween this city and Cleveland, related to us, yesterday, the strange item about a farmer who prevented a terrible disaster on the road near Mansfield, Ohio, at the time of the recent great freshet. We bad before seen a paragraph relating to the singular affair. Mr. Robertson conversed with the farmer, and here is the story, in short : The farmer (a Pennsylvanian) went to bed during the heavy and protracted storm on Monday night, and dreaming that the fill across a chasm, some hundred feet deep, had given way under a passenger train, and let it down into the abyss, he sprang to render assistance to the passengers, ran to the door, and was hastening from the house when his wife awakened him. Ele related his dream, and went to bed again, but slept little more during the night. The dream made such a deep impression on his mind that he hastened to the chasm the next morning early, to see what condition it was in; but the road was ap parently all right, although the water was pouring and surging through the large culvert beneath, as though it would wash the earth away. On Tues day night the farmer could not rest for thinking about his dream of the preceding night, and getting up he procured his lantern, and hurried off to the chasm. When he arrived there he found to his terror that the huge fill had been washed out, leaving nothing but the unsupported ties and track over the chasm. Hearing the train thundering towards destruction the farmer clambered across the dreadful break, and running down the road some distance he signalled the approaching train to stop. And so short was the time that by the time the engineer was able to hold up the engine was but a few feet off from the chasm. The train was large, and was filled with person who had been to the great Union meeting at Mans field. What a narrow escape they all made from a horrible death ? COUNT BISMARCK'S THANKS FOR AMERICAN SYM- PATIIY. The following is Count Bismarck's letter to Minister Wright, acknowledging the receipt of some twenty-five tons of ice, contributed by the Ame ricans at Hamburgb, for the Prussian hospitals at a time when it could not be obtained in Germany : " Dear Sir,—From the inclosed letters- you have been good enough to communicate to me, I see the contributors to that munificent donation of which has been sent successively from Hamburgh for our hospitals include a considerable number of your countrymen. The War Office has already conveyed to the Committee the thanks of his Majesty's Go vernment for the patriotic feeling which prompted the gift, and for the inestimable benefit conferred upon our wounded soldiers. It becomes now my pleasantduty to add the expression of my sentiments of deep gratification of the active sympathy evinced by citizens of the United States with our struggle, which, undertaken for the defence of our homes, will, under God's blessing, secure the condition to Germany of national life, and to Europe of lasting peace. " Believe me, dear sir, yours very sincerely, " BISMARCK. " lion. W. A. Wright, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States." The extensively advertised gift concert, claiming to he i n the interest of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home, came off on Thursday night, Oct. 11th, at N ew York. The theatre was crowded with policy holders, who were put off with a few songs, and an announcement that the drawings were post poned till the following Monday. Considerable dis satisfaction was manifested, and at one time there were strong indications of a row. It is said that a large number of tickets are still unsold, and that consequently few prizes will be drawn. Hon. D. W. Middleton, clerk of the United States Supreme Court, gives notice that at the ensuing De cember term the general causes brought into this Court by writs of error or appeal, from the Circuit and District Courts, for the several districts within the States declared to be in rebellion by the pro clamation of the President of the United States, dated August 16th, 1861, will be called and disposed of under the rules, and in regular order, as they may stand upon the docket. The thousands of New Yorkers who intend to P ar is in May next and the succeeding m s h a re in the glories of a r t and society at the Great Exposition, Exposition, will naturally have an interest in know ing that their favourite pictorial will be represented there, the proprietor, Mr. Frank Leslie, having just received from President Johnson an appointment as Commissioner to that Exposition, as a recogni tion of the newspaper element in America and of Mr. Leslie's long labours in the cause of pictorial art. It need scarcely be said (especially as Mr. Leslie is by no means saying it) that, while it is hoped the appointment will be held a satisfactory one by all classes, the readers of Frank. Leslie's will be among those most peculiarly the gainers, in the wealth of discriminating illustration of the most notable people and objects there, which the pre sence of the proprietor will insure being forwarded to the pet publication he leaves behind him. Advises from Japan, of September 4th, report the arrival at Yokahama of General Van Valkenberg, United. States Minister to Japan, and Anson Bur lingame, Minister to China. Both Ministers were on a visit to Yedtlo. Mr. Burlingame was expected soon to leave for China. Converaions of the Seven-thirty notes falling due August, 1867, into Five-twenty bonds, continue to be made at the Treasury Department, at the rate of something less than $4,000,000 per week. There are now outstanding about $270,000,000 of this issue of Seven -thirties. These notes, owing to the immense clerical labour involved in their examina tion, can be redeemed by the department at the rate of $5,000,000 per week-, if presented as rapidly as they could be disposed of. Parties holding Seven thirty notes of the above issue will, therefore, do well to forward them to the Treasury for conver sion into Five-twenties as soon as possible, as TEE SuN, LO.NLON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 6 1&66. hereafter, in case of the presentation of large quantities near the period of the full maturity of the notes, much delay will ensue before the bonds in conversion can possibly be furnished by the de partment. The ship Baena Vista, thirty-three days from Kanagawa, Japan, to San Francisco, Oct. 9th, re ports teas firm at last quotations, silks high and scarce. There were in port the United States ships Hartford, Wyoming, and Wachusett. The Buena Vista brings 50,000 pounds of tea for transhipment to New York. A later account states that the United States steamers Hartford, Wyoming, and Wachusett sailed on the sth of September. The steamer Golden Age sailed for Panama, from San Francisco, Oct. 11th, carrying $942,000 in treasure, of which $729,000 is for New York. Not much news has brought by the City of Boston, from New York. Mr. Secretary Stanton was reported to have asked to be relAred of his present post, and to be appointed United States Minister at Madrid. Mr. Stanton, it is added, will be succeeded in the Secretaryship of War, by Gene ral Sherman. The telegram says that " influential persons" are pressing the Administration to make a formal demand upon the British Government for a settlement of the Alabama claims. The state ment is confirmed by the Washington correspondent of the Times, who thinks that the Alabama business will yet give some trouble, though nobody but Fenians of the more violent sort, would dream of going to war about it. The President of the United States has appointed Wickman Hoffman, of Louisiana to be Assistant Secretary of Legation at Paris, and George F. Kettell, of New York, to be Consul at Rhenish Bavaria. The President has recognised Charles Fauconnet as Vice-Consul of France at Galveston, Texas ; Alfred 0. C. Garcia, Consul for Costa Rica at Boston, Mass. ; and Guido Fusho, Consul for the Principalit3 of-Reup at Baltimore. The Commonwealth gives a sketch, together with a portrait, of Lieutenant-Colonel Lothian Dickson, as one of the leaders of the people. Colonel Dick son has taken a prominent part in the recent Reform movement, and is a vice-president of the League. He entered the army in 1825, served in the field in the Deccan and Southern Mahratta country, but is better known for the part he took iu the Carlist war. He raised and commanded the 7th Regiment of the British Auxiliary Legion. At the head of this regiment, and under the command of General Sir de Lacy Evans, he gained considerable distinc tion in the Spanish expedition, was honourably mentioned, and decorated with an order of knight hood. Colonel Dickson is still better known for the uncompromising manner in which he fought to the bitter end a Minister of War, who, acting on the suggestion of an Earl, had unjustly removed him from the command of the Tower Hamlets Militia. The tenacity with which the Colonel ad hered to his grievance showed a very determined disposition. No partial success could satisfy him. He went in for a complete victory, and only failed because he pushed his claims too far,. which was scarcely prudent when opposed by such powerful antagonists. number one." Here is an office to which he has been elected. If he resigns it, out of deference to the wants of the community; he may never get another, and he holds on with desperate tenacity, and, perhaps, with a hope that at some future day he may get a pardon and then slide into the official easy chair. But the people are getting very tired of this, and are requesting him to resign. He re fuses to do so, it being, he says, a point of honour (and of profit) with him never to resign a place to which the free and independent suffrages, &c., &c., of the people of Mobile have called him. This has been borne with long enough, and the discontent is increasing, because widows, orphans, creditors, and others, are suffering by the obstinacy of this man. A writer in the Mobile Tribune, of October 7th, thus argues the matter, of course with a logic which is peculiar to the good Union men of the South, but which still has its strong positions. He says : " But if Admiral Semmes thinks it humiliating to resign a position, which brute power inhibits his holding, in order that the public interests may no longer be sacrificed, and that individual suffering and distress may be assuaged, does he not regard it equally—aye, more humiliating in him to crave par don of the man who unlawfully restrains him from performing the duties of his office ?" This seems to be an admirable hit at the " Admira If State rights, State honour, and all that, are utraged by refusing him permission to hold office, is he not sacrificing rights, honour, and all that, by craving pardon of the man, who by brute force restrains him from enjoying "all those mova bl es ?" I t i s i n this view of the case that the correspondent whom we quote hits him again thus :—" Can Admiral Semmes ask for a pardon without feeling himself inwardly rebuked for a want of that manly State pride, which above all else should characterise the true citizen.' And has he fallen so low that he is willing to sacrifice the constitutional rights and the honour of his State for any temporary advantage whatever'—to be Judge of Probate, for instance ?" We do not think that the troubles of theseMobilians will elicit much sympathy in the North. They elected Semmes, a most obnoxious man, in a spirit of bravado against the United States. They in tended to show the Government of the United States that the man who, if justice had her way, would have been hung, was their favourite. They have done so, and what have they made out of it ? Nothing but trouble and distress to themselves and their own interests. We think that the lesson which the President has administered was very much needed, and ought to have its influence in other cases—for.instance, as a warning against the folly of electing men to Congress who cannot take the test oath.—Philadelphia Inquirer. and immunities of citizens in the several States, but that clause has been expounded as only meaning that a citizen of Maine moving into another State is entitled only to the privileges and immunities which the laws of that other State accords to the citizens of Maine of his class. The result is that as we have thirty-six States, and that a citizen of the United States may find himself so situated that while a citizen of the entire Republic he is not a citizen of any of its thirty-six parts. Each State defines its own citizenship; it may exclude from that citizen ship every person not born within its limits, thus making nineteen-twentieths of the people of the country aliens the moment they pass within the boundaries of.that State. It is a fact, that at this very time, under this practice of State citizenship, in several of the States, a large majority of the popula tion born and residing in those States are not citi zens of said States. Let us not be misunderstood as meaning that they are not voters ; we mean citizens entitled to civil rights. Some of these people thus denied civil rights in the State of their birth may acquire them in other States ; while citizens enjoy ing such rights in one State lose them and cease to be citizens upon moving into another State. This anomalous condition of civil rights exists in no other civilised Government. A British citizen is a British citizen on any part of the earth covered by the British flag. A Russian, or a Prussian, or a Frenchman, or a Spaniard may assert his nationality wherever he treads the soil owned by his native land. An American is the only person whose citi zenship is limited by lines less than the national boundaries, and while he may lay claim honestly to be a citizen of the United States, in fact he is only entitled to the rights of citizenship within the con tracted limits of the State ia which he happens to reside, and often he cannot even do that. The amendment to the Constitution now pending, and whose ratification the people are called upon this fall to vote, proposes to correct this extraordinary anomaly. It proposes to define in the Constitution itself what consti tutes a citizen, and then declares that a citizen of the whole Republic shall no longer be deprived of his civil rights by the local regulations of any of its parts, but that a citizen, native born or naturalised, of the United States shall also be a citizen of the State wherein he resides. This provision, so emi nently just, has long been needed in this country. A Russian is a Russian in all parts of Russia, but an American born in Illinois, while unquestionably a citizen of the United States, can only assert his right to citizenship in the State of Illinois, while persons whose ancestors for several generations have been born in. other States, and though born there himself, cannot even claim citizenship therein. The proposed provision making citizenship uniform car ries with it no political rights. It does not deprive the State of the right to regulate suffrage and the qualification for office ; it merely places beyond all question the legal or civil status of the whole people upon a common equality, and takes from local pre judice and passion the power to oppress or harass any citizen, by denying to him his rights as such. This provision, which must commend itself to the approval of all honest-thinking men, and which will remove from our politics and our courts questions of the most vexatious character, is bitterly opposed in the rebel States. It knocks down the barrier with which aristocracy had encircled itself, and admits to the ranks of citizenship the naturalised Irishman, the naturalised German, the Yankee, and last, but not less liorrible, the coloured man. It gives either of these classes of persons the right to enter any court of justice, and there, on terms of equality, to be plaintiff in any action against any of the first families. It gives to either of these classes, in defiance of State laws to the contrary, the right to purchase and hold real estate, to sell and lease the same, and, when dying, to devise it ; it even permits them to inherit as heirs, or receive as de visees real and personal property on an equality with the old first-class people. ''The rebels regard it as a levelling measure, to make the whole people citizens and entitled to civil rights on equal terms, and, therefore, they oppose it. It is, however, but one of the several long-needed steps towards the grand measure of civil and political freedom to every being breathing under the national flag, and a civil political equality as universal as the title of Ameri can citizen. To this the rebels will have to submit, as they will have to submit to equally unpalatable measures, willingly or unwillingly, in obedience to the. will of the free people of the American Union. —Chicago Tribune. The African Civilisation Society is an organisa tion of pious and educated coloured people (incor porated by the Legislature of the State ofNew York), who believe, and always have believed, that the black man of education can best instruct, direct, and elevate his race. We have come together in an orga nised and incorporated body, commenced the work of self-elevation, and are now successfully carrying on the work of education among the freed people of the South. The history of civilisation testifies that the most homogeneous instrumentalities are the most effectual in accelerating a people's elevation. The parent is the best person to lead and teach his own child, and fit it for the duties and responsibilities of mature age ; and if the child is an orphan, it is gene rally conceded that the nearest relative is the fittest guardian. This rule holds good when applied to races. Hence we have concluded that the blackman is the better leader and teacher among his own people than the white man; that while we can do this work just as well, we cau do it under fewer disad vantages, and at far less expense than he. We already have several flourishing schools in the South taught by efficient coloured teachers, and doing in calculable good. During the past year we have partially and wholly sustained twenty-two (22) day and night schools, and employed thirty-three (33) teachers. About fifteen hundred (1,500) pupils have attended these schools with blessed effect. These schools are in Maryland, Washington, and Georgetown, D.C., Alexandria, and Richmond, and News Ferry, Virginia, and Georgia. The studies have been such as are generally pursued in common schools with such variations in particular cases as seemed best to accelerate the scholar's fitness for practical life.— The People's Journal. The Foreign Carrying Trade. ---~-- TO THE EDITOR OF THE ANGLO-AMERICAN TIMES. SIR, —1 have read with great interest and attention your article on " American Merchants and the Foreign Carrying Trade of America," and the letter of Mr. T. Silver in your journal of the 27th inst., it ointing out the working of the American law as it at present stands, in regard to the shipping in terest of that country. It seems that at the present moment the high prices of materials and labour in the United States place a complete bar on the construction of ships, and that in consequence the American shipowner is losing his trade, and is placed at a great disad vantage in competing with other countries, whilst he is at the same time debarred from purchasing ships built in foreign countries, as such would not be allowed to sail under the American flag. In referring to the last page of your journal, I find the advertisements of no less than eight lines of steamers between England and the United States, not one of which is American or worked by American built ships, whilst American enterprise is repre sented by two boats, the Fulton and Arago, of the United States mail line. Surely this is not as it should be ; and bearing in mind the splendid accommodation of the American steamers and the great speciality there exists for this sort of thing in that country, it cannot be as it ought to be. Bearing in mind the plan of ship proposed by Mr. T. Silver some time since for crossing the At lantic, and the system on which it was to be esta blished, it is to be lamented that some earnest and practical endeavours are not made to bring them to a successful issue, as it would not fail to increase the facilities for travel between the two countries, and therefore to make people go, which would tend to increase that proper spirit which should exist be tween the two countries, and can only be increased by frequent and extended intercourse. . _ _ I perfectly agree with you that these navigation laws must be repealed, and, depend upon it, a little more free-trade policy in the existing laws will not do any injury to either country. We Kaye Ameri cans to manage our large hotels, and no one seems the worse for it ; and if the same plan were acted on of getting the most suitable means, either in price or principle, for the purpose for which it is required irrespective of whence it is derived, these great diffi culties would be removed, and American enterprise go ahead in its proper style to the benefit of both sides of the Atlantic. I can see no valid reason why ships should not be built in this or any other country from American designs for American citizens, especially when such are to be employed in foreign trade, and can be used without injury to native interests. As an Englishman, I hope to see the good feel ing between the two countries extended by all pos sible means, and I fancy this would be a good be ginning. --Your obedient, CHAS. F. T. YOUNG, C.E., Member of Society of Engineers' Association, J.N.A. 7, Duke-street, Adelphi, W.C., October 31, 1866. The Newspaper Pless of America. " Griffith Gaunt" seems likely to attain the suc cess not only of a clever novel, but of a notorious one. The outcry that has been raised respect ing its imputed indelicacy and immorality, with the indignant rejoinder recently put forth by the author, who threatens to prosecute his malign ers in the courts of law, has created a sudden and extensive demand for the book, to supply which we have already two rival editions in the field. One of these bears the imprint of Mesrs. Ticknor and Fields—an imprint which has become in almost every part of the world the best guaranty for high toned sterling literary excellence. This is the legi timate edition, for which the author receives a hand some remuneration. It is brought out in very nice style, the paper, type, and all the belongings being such as the daintest lady might enjoy. The other edition, we regret to acknowledge, comes from New York. We say regret, because knowing the terms entered into by the author and his publishers, Messrs. Ticknor and Fields, we are forced to be lieve this rival edition brought out in defiance of the common principles of honesty and honour—in short, that it has been gotten by an act so thievish as to justly exclude the perpetrators from the society of all high-minded men. Saying nothing of the trespass on the just rights of Messrs. Ticknor and Fields, we pronounce this trickish appropriation of the fruits of the author's labour a piece of vulgar greed and plunder which should be spurned from sight by every one who cares for the honour of the American name. We trust no one, for the sake of the slight difference there may be in the cost of these rival editions, will give their preference to the wares of this New York literary junk shop.—The.Home Journal. THE " LEDGER" DESPATCH OF THURSDAY. As a matter of newspaper record we insert, in another column, the bogus despatch published in the Ledger of Thursday, and the comments of the press on the same. Its true history will no doubt be at once ferreted out by the proprietors of that journal, and given to the public. Some one wrote the des patch, and through some party it was caused to be published. If it be true that it came through their regular correspondent, nothing can be easier than to trace it to its author or authors. The New York evening papers of Thursday, and the New York morning journals of yesterday, were very severe on our contemporary, and directly charge it with stock jobbing motives. We sincerely regret this. Al though the eminent bankers who own the majority of the stock of the Ledger are large gold operators, yet they are too well known in this community to warrant this suspicion. The hoax was one which might easily have been practised on any journal placing such implicit confidence in its correspon dents as does the Ledger. We are also informed that Mr. McKean, who has ably conducted the journal since Mr. Swain retired, was temporarily absent from the city on Wednesday, and the perpe trator of the hoax, aware of that fact, may have seized the opportunity as one favourable to this speculating dodge. We do not imagine that Mr. McKean would have permitted it to be inserted in the columns of the Ledger, or telegraphed, in the name of that journal, to other cities had he been present. Our contemporary must not be deterred from its enterprise in its search after news, but should hereafter exercise greater care in the selec tion of correspondents and in the scrutiny of their despatches.—Philadelphia Inquirer. STelliE"lls , the oNou n'' pirate OF of A thePIRTE Raphael Semmes, Ala . bama, who for his feat s in robbing and burning defenceless merchant vessels, and for being well whipped by Commander Wi ns l ow, of the Kearsage, was made by an "Admiral" the Rebel Government, is get ting himself int o somewhat of a trouble with the people of Mobil e . The latter , order to show their admiration of th e brave in &of this sea robber, transported with admiration,e"&c., to the hero, elected him, some months and gratitude months ago, Judge of the Probate Court, an easy and fat office. But the United States Government, which had ar rested Semmes for the violation of his surrender at the time when the Alabama was sunk, and which had discharged him reluctantly , because be bad got his subsequent parole by a trick, was not willing that this traitor should hold an office which an mi pardoned rebel could not hold. A prohibition was put unon his triumph, and he has not yet been allowed to discharge the duties of the judgeship. Meanwhile, there is trouble in Alabama ; there is no Probate Court in Mobile. Men die, and admi nistrators cannot be appointed to administer their estates. Executors cannot get letters testamen tary; creditors cannot get the money owing them from such estates, nor can the debts due to deceased persons be collected. Orphans and widows are suffering, and there is great trouble because there is no Probate Court. Were Semmes anything else but a selfish fellow, he would long since have re signed an office which he will not be allowed to hold, and thus have relieved the community. But, as might have been expected from one who has such a record, his only thought is to 4, take care of IMPEACHMENT. There has been for some considerable time a vast deal of talk about impeaching the President. From the seriousness with which the subject has been dis cussed, many, no doubt, have been led to suppose that it will as surely be done as that Congress will convene at the appointed time and place. The only contingency, it has been frequently asserted, was the continued ascendancy of the Radicals, and this be ing met, the impeachment programme would be car ried out to the letter. As a bugbear or threat such talk has been indulged in by both parties to the con test ; unwisely, as we think, by the Conservatives, who industriously spread rumours to the effect that such indeed was the line of policy laid down by the Radi cals, thinking they would prove an inducement for the people to take up with their views and strengthen the hands of the President, when, as the result has shown, they had no other effect than to create a stampede from their own ranks. On the other hand, a few intensely Radical papers have argued that the only course left open to Congress, and the only one which would meet the approbation of the majority of the people in the North, led to impeach ment. It i 3 as easy to assert a falsehood as a fact when men are not particular as to the means re sorted to for the accomplishment of their object, and, in times of political excitement like the present, with a certain class of people who arc disposed to accept the opinions of their favourite leaders, with out inquiring into their correctness, one will pass as current as the other. Hence it is that the war prophets have their believers, and those who prate about impeachment are listened to as though they were not talking the sheerest nonsense imaginable. It is immaterial from whom the idea originated, by whom it has been used, or for what purpose ; it is of no weight whatever—a naked assertion that is not only without foundation in truth, but absolutely positively contradicted by facts. We venture to say there is not one man in a thousand, in the North, who conscientiously believes President Johnson has committed any act for which he could be impeached, much less thinking he ought to be. Are they fools or madmen that they should do this without cause, and plunge the country into revolution and anarchy ? And the same with that twin sister of folly which has been so extensively heralded, that the President contemplates ignoring Congress, declaring it a " rump," and unconstitutional, in obedience to the wishes of a few reckless persons, and taking such steps as would inevitably result in the inaugura tion of another war. No greater insult could be offered to the patriotism and wisdom of the President and his Cabinet. We may be afflicted with optism so far as our views of all matters touching the character of the American people are concerned—in fact, we confess to entertaining a more exalted opinion of them, but making every allowance for this becoming prejudice, we feel per fectly justifiable in considering them a sensible, practical people. Neither they nor their represen tative in Congress will knowingly rush upon de struction so certain. They will abide by that fun damental principle in our Government that the majority shall rule and resist every effort, by whom soever made, to override it ; but they will not con strue this into a licence to do anything not warranted by the Constitution. There will be no impeachment without just cause, and we feel bound to say that the President has not and will not so act, as to force the opportunity for such a proceeding. Phillips and Tilton on one side, and Montgomery Blair on the other, may have very different views on the sub ject, but they speak only for themselves ; they re present no party in the North. With the excitement over—when the whirlwind of passion, set in motion for no other pnrpose than to influence the election, has subsided, as it will with the close of the cam paign, we look for an end to this sort of talk ; and the sooner people disabuse themselves of the idea that it will amount to anything, and face the real issues, the better it will be for all.—Savannah Daily Republican. AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP. The United States are a the present time the only nation, of any respectable strength, whose form of government is based upon Republican or Democratic principles. Our Government is a com plex one, but that complexity does not destroy the democratic theory that all power is inherent in the people from whose consent all Governments derive their powers. Our form of government is not purely democratic, nor purely representative, but the departures from those principles are designed to strengthen rather than impair the general demo cratic character of our institutions. The division of the Union into States, and the representation of these states as such in one branch of the Govern ment, was designed as a Conservative check upon that popular enthusiasm that might suddenly dis turb the whole fabric if there was but one house of national legislation ; but it was never designed to weaken or impair the great underlying principle that the will of the majority, when expressed iu the forms prescribed by the constitution, was to be the will of the nation, and to which all officers and departments of the Government were to submit. It has always been an anomaly that in this Republic, where so many States and so many people engaged in all the various pursuits of life, were so happily blended under one flag, governed by one Constitu tion, and all speaking one language, such a thing as a uniform citizenship was utterly unknown. Thus a citizen of the United States residing in Maine is not necessarily a citizen of Maine ; a citizen of Maine moving to Virginia is not necessarily a citi zen of the State of Virginia, nor even can he always claim to be a citizen of the United States. It is true that the Constitution declares that the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—The appointment of Baron von Beust to the office of Minister for Foreign Affairs ushers in the first day of a new life for the Austrian Empire. From the, disaster of Sadowa to the present 'date, there has been, properly speaking, no Government at Vienna. The men w h o h a d s t oo d at t h e h e l m during that terrific storm of the Bohemian war shrank from the responsibility of any further steer ing. Bewilderment, consternation, blank despair sat at Francis Joseph's Councils, and beyond his own family the Emperor scarcely found one man to share the burden of cares which adversity had ren dered so overwhelming. In the midst of this dis tress and hopelessness it must have seemed to the unhappy Monarch as if his good star had brought him the Saxon ex-Premier. Baron von Beust is a man of brilliant qualities, and does not hide his light under a bushel. A strong prepossession in his favour, it appears, sprang up in the Emperor's mind from an early interview, and the arrangement which was only formally announced a few days ago is said to have been in contemplation for the last three months. The Emperor Francis Joseph can hardly at this moment be numbered among Constitutional Sovereigns. He has no Parliament to call him to alcount for the choice of his servants, and had even objections been raised on the part of public opinion against the promotion of this stranger to the highest office in the State, the great plea of necessity could always be urged in justification. The Emperor could nowhere find another Minister. The nomination of Baron von Beust has, never theless, . created a very great commotion at home and abroad; and the impression must, even in the judgment of the favoured statesman,-have seemed so unfavourable as to suggest the expediency of issuing a circular that sounds very much like an explanation and apology. Baron von Beust, we are told in this important document, takes office as a new man. The will of his new Imperial master has made him an Austrian, and as such he thinks it a duty incumbent on his office to " separate him self from his political precedents.' , Nothing oaxon abides in him, except feelings of regard and gratitude to the Prince whom he has served with so much zeal and fidelity. The great champion of the old Bund, the mouthpiece of the minor States, the head of the Gros-Deutsch or Great- German party, the herald of the Schleswig-Holstein war, now turns over a new leaf, and enters upon his present duties free "from all partiality or pre judice." The pledge he takes for himself is equally binding on the Government under his guidance. Europe, we are assured by the semi-official Vienna Gazette, has no occasion to look upon the new appointment with apprehension. No passion or rancour will characterise the policy hereafter to b e pursued by Austria. Her immediate necessity is peace. Domestic interests press so heavily on the Emperor's councils as to leave, for the present, no leisure for interference with other people's concerns, or for attempts to regain a leading position in Euro pean affairs. HERALD.--Mr. Bright's visit to Ireland has come to an abrupt and, we might almost say, an igno minious termination. After a brief s t ay i n t h e capital, during which he delivered two or three harangues, received with remarkable coolness and indifference—the more, perhaps, that they were less violent, intemperate, and abusive than usual—the great agitator hurried away as he is wont to hurry out of the House of Commons when his reckless menaces of mob law, or his diatribes against the class to which four-fifths of his hearers belong by blood or sympathy, have called up Lord Cranborne, or some other opponent noted for the powers of sar casm which could not be more fitly or righteously employed in indignant reply. And if we look at the record of the meeting from which he fled we have little difficulty in assigning the reason of his retreat. The speech of the great orator himself was heard indeed, as anything that so eloquent and powerful a voice may utter will always be heard, but with interruptions of a kind to which the speaker is little accustomed. And the Chairman, who pre ceded and introduced him, was greeted with cries which showed how little effect any address in favour of Parliamentary Reform would find with such an audience. Cheers for Stephens, Fenianistn, and Lord Edward Fitzgerald—of whom the cheerers probably knew nothing more than that he was a inaudible. Mr. Mr. Naughton almost Mr. Bright's proposal for the purchase . of the estates of -English landlords was hailed with a significant question, " Could we not get them for nothing ?" And after he had departed more violent orators addressed the meeting. One of these coun selled civil war, and boasted that he had suffered two years' imprisonment as a traitor ; yet, .notwith standing these undoubted claims to the admiration of the assembly, he was hooted, not for the insolent wickedness of his language, but because his name and accent betrayed his English birth. Mr. Bright must be aware by this time that Ireland will lend him no effectual help in his agitation for Reform. The class to which in England he addresses his im passioned appeals is not to be found in Ireland ; the only class which might support him—analogous to that which in England furnishes recruits to the ragged army of Mr. Beales—cares nothing for any Reform which does not prom* a revolution, sepa ration from the empire, and a ge nera l con fi scation of property. Mr. Bright knows better than to alienate the working men o f E ng l and by allying himself with the Fenian treason ; and Ireland offers him no other support. He h as d one w i sely to retreat in time ; and we wish we could hope that the lesson he has learnt might remain imprinted on his mind. THE " LAW TIMES" ON MR. BRIGHT AND THE LAND LAWS.—I had an opportunity on Monday of ascer taining in the course of a long conversation with Mr. J. Bright, M.P. (who is now visiting Dublin), the changes which he proposes to make in the landed system of these countries. The presence of several members of the legal profession led to a fuller exposition of Mr. Bright's views on the land question than usually is afforded before a large and miscellaneous audience ; and it may interest many of your readers to know what alterations in our laws of property are suggested by this great leader of the advanced Liberal party. Mr. Bright disclaimed any change which is not consonant with sound political eco nomy,and which:disregards the rights of property, bearing in mind, however, that all rights in landed property are subjected to the limitations which the welfare of the community will render necessary. He laid particular stress on the acknowledged fact that in England the number of landowners is year by year decreas ing. The tendency exists in Ireland also, but has been counteracted for some years by the sales of land in the Incumbered Estates Court. The tendency of large landed estates to increase he attributed not so much to the difficulties of making title—to the obstacles in the way of land transfer—as to the fact that the very large proprietors (some of whom he named) have many of them a surplus of income which they are generally desirous to invest in land, so as to swell their possessions and increase their political influence. As they are willing to give higher prices than other persons, of course they cannot be prevented from accumulating laud. But while (as Mr. Bright expresses it) the accumulating forces steadily in crease with the wealth of the country, the forces which should assist subdivision and dispersion are all checked by the laws. [The arguments against the law of primogeni ture are well known and need not be repeated.] When a death or change of fortune occurs, the law should give every aid to a dispersion of property, and should bo so framed as to work well in the absence of contracts or other dispositions. The landed interest will always be the most powerful politically —even in America. In these countries the more landowners there are the better. In Ireland the largest estates are those of a dozen peers, who rarely or never visit the country. This is so great an evil that it should be checked by law. There will be no layalty among the Irish peasantry unless they can by industry acquire some property in the soil ; and hence the necessity (as the country is purely agricultural) of a law similar to that proposed by the late Government, giving to a tenant com pensation for all unexhausted improvements effected by him on his farm. Mr. Bright further proposed the abo lition of the "laws of entail," but 'could hardly be expected to demonstrate any wayin which testators and settlers can be prevented from limiting life-interests only to their children, and in fact did not exhibit a larger knowledge of this branch of the subject than other men who havereceived no legal training.

The week opened with a fine bracing, day, wind N.N.W., and sunny at times. After a slight frost, Monday morning was cool, wind west, thermomete r 46 degrees, barometer 30.30 inches. 'Field-work was being proceeded with generally, and some pro gress has been made with autumnal tillage in all the forward counties. In the far north harvest is not yet completed, and more dry weather is yet required to bring it to a finish, although from the eommeuee ment in the home counties to the present time it has extended over four months, proving most expos" and difficult to manage from the unfavourab le changes in the weather. Tuesday proved a very wet day, scarcely ceasing to rain from morning unti l evening, and where this was the case no work of any description could be done in the field, while the atmosphere was too moist for wheat thrashing to be proceeded with. Our advices from the West Riding of Yorkshire stated—" The weather is very change' able, and rain fell last night freely, but to-day is fine since noon." From the East Riding it was observed—" Weather during the week has been ue° settled, and a good deal of rain has fallen, which has interfered with out-door labour, and cause' the new wheats to come forward in very poor condition, as they appear now almost worse than at any period since harvest." From Northure' berland our letters run : " The weather has been to' settled since our last report, and a good deal of ram has fallen. Wind variable ; to-day N.W., an d showery." Wednesday opened with a cold morn' ing, hazy and thick ; but the day was fine, and being dry, field-work was proceeded with. From Scot' land our advices stated : " The weather has bell fine and showery alternately." Thursday was a threatening, dull morning; but it held up, and a° rain fell during the day, but at 9 p.m. some Was experienced. Our reports from Warwickshire on that day stated : " The weather during the week has been variable, with wind chiefly from the S.W. 00 light lands farmers have made considerable progress with their autumnal sowing, but on heavy clay Soll s the work in the district is late." From Norfolk it was remarked : " The weather continues fine, and helps the condition of grain, and wheat-seeding Pro: gresses fast." Friday was a showery morning, an d rain fell at times during the day, with a higher ton: perature : wind S.W. ; thermometer 55 degrees barometer 29.90 inches. A stop was again put t i) . field-work. From the West Riding of Yorkshire it was stated : " With fine weather this week, our farmers will now get on with ploughing and Wit' ing." Saturday was a wet and unfavourable dal 9 and on the whole the progress during this week ha s not been important. The best feature for the fanners is the extreme prices now for barley, and this en' courages them to thrash as fast as they can, and the deliveries of the week have exceeded those of wheat as most probably will now be the case for so° weeks to come, so long as the demand continues 0 ° active. At many markets as much as 565. per que r : ter has been the price paid for choice and select qualities, and the brewers at Burton-on-Tre at are the best friends the farmers have, for free) the commencement they bought with spirit, thoug h when they gave 505. per quarter the rate was considered exorbitant, and fax beyond NOM / there was any occasion for. Now that a c onsider' able advance on that has been established mo st people think a stop to the rise must take plac e ; but this,. of course, will depend on the amount 01 really choice qualities still brought forward.—Mar k " lane Express.
