AMERICA. QUEENSTOWN, Tuesday. The Inman steamer City of Boston, from New York on the 30 th ult., has arrived. Mr. Henry Grinnell, of New York, has received a letter from Mr. Hall, the Arctic explorer, who be lieves that he has discovered traces of four of Sir John Franklin's party. The following extract is published : "Winter Quarters, in Igloo, Friday, Dec. 10, 1864. Noo-Wook, West End Rowe's Welcome, lat. 64 46 N., long. 87 20 W. " Dear Friend Chapel,—ln this letter I have some deeply interesting intelligence to communicate to you. Since falling in with the natives I have not been idle. Nothing in Parry's narrative of second voyage for the discovery of N.W. passage relating to the Esquimaux of Winter Island and Igloolik, but these natives are perfectly posted up. Indeed, I find through my superior interpreter, Too-koo-li too, that many deeply interesting incidents occurred at both named places that never found their place in Parry or Lyon's works. But the great work already done by me is gaining little by little from these natives through Too-koo-li-too and E-bier bing relating to Sir John Franklin's expedition. This', you know, was the great object of my mission to the North. I cannot stop to tell you now all I have gained of this people—no, not the one hun dredth part--most of it relating to Franklin's ex pedition. (The natives are now loading sledge—it is half-past 7 a.m.) I will give you very briefly what the people of England and America will be ' most interested to learn. When I come down I shall bring my despatches and journals up to the time of writin g you. These will be committed to your care for transmitting to the States. The most important mat ter that I have acquired relates to the fact that there may yet be three survivors of Sir John Franklin's expedition—and one of these Crozier, the one who succeeded Sir John Franklin on his death. The details are deeply interesting, but this must suffice till I come down. Crozier and three men with him were found by a cousin of Ou-e-la (Albert), Shoo she-ark-nuhi (John), and Ar-too (Frank) while moving on the ice from one igloo to another, this cousin having with him his family and engaged in sealing. This occurred near Neitchille (Boothia Felix Peninsula). Crozier was ' nothing but skin and bones'—was nearly starved to death, while the three men with him were fat. The cousin soon learned that the three fat men had been living on human flesh—on the flesh of their companions, who all deserted the two ships that were fast in moun tains of ice, while Crozier was the only man that would not eat human flesh, and for this reason he was almost dead from starvation. This cousin (who has two names, but I cannot stop to give them now) took Crozier and the three men at once in charge. He soon caught a seal, and gave Crozier quickly a little—a very little piece, which was nearly raw—only one mouthful the first day. The cousin did not give the three fat men any thing, for they could well get along till Crozier's life was safe. The next day the cousin gave Crozier a little larger piece of the same seal. By the judicious care of this cousin for Crozier his life was saved. Indeed, Crozier's own judgment stuck to him in this terrible situation, for he agreed with this cousin that one little bit was all he should have the first day. When the cousin first saw Crozier's face it looked so bad, his eyes all sunk in, the face so skeleton-like and haggard, that he (the cousin) did not dare to look upon Crozier's face for several days after, it made him (the cousin) feel so bad ! This noble cousin, whom the whole civilised world will ever remember for his humanity, took care of Cro zier and his three men, save one who died, during the whole winter. One man, however, died a short time after the cousin found them not because he starved, but because he was sick. In the spring Crozier and the remaining two men accompanied this cousin on the Boothia, Felix Peninsula to Neitchille, where there were many Innuits. Crozier and each of his men had guns and plenty of ammunition, and many pretty things. They killed a great many ducks, nowyers, &c., with their guns. Here they lived with the Innuits at Neitchille, and Crozier became fat and of good health. Crozier told this cousin that he was once at Innoil-le (Repulse Bay), at Winter Island and Igloolik many years before, and that at the two last-nnausd places he saw many In nuits, and got acquainted with them. This cousin had heard of Parry, Lyon, and Crozier from his Innuit friends at Repulse Bay some years previous, and, therefore, when Crozier gave him his name, he recollected it. The cousin saw Crozier, one year before he found him and the three men, where the two sl:ips were in the ice. It was there that the cousin found out that Crozier had been to Igloolik. Crozier and the two men lived with the Neitchille Innuits some time. The Innuits liked him (Crozier) very much, and treated him always very kindly. At length Crozier, with his two men and one In nuit, who took along a ki-ak (?) (an indiarubber boat, as E-bier-bing thinks it was, for all along the ribs there was something that could be filled with air), left Neitchille to try to go the Kob-lu-nas country, taking a south course. When Ou-e-la (Albert) and his brothers, in 1854, saw this cousin that had been so good to Crozier and his men at Pelly Bay (which is not far from Neitchelle), the cousin had not heard whether Crozier and the two men and Neitchille Innuit had ever come back or not. The Innuits never think they are dead—do not be lieve they are. Crozier offered to give his gun to the cousin for saving his life, but the cousin would not accept it, for he was afraid it would kill him (the cousin), it made such a great noise, and killed every thing with nothing. Then Crozier gave him (the cou sin) a long, curious knife (sword, as E-bier-bing and Too-koo-il-too say it is), and gave him many pretty things besides. (The dogs are all in harness, and sledges loaded and Innuits waiting for my letters. I promise to be ready in thirty minutes). Crozier told the cousin of a fight with a band of Indians— not Innuits, but Indians. This must have occurred near the entrance of Great Fish or Back's River. More of this when I see you. God bless you. " C. F. HALL." The news of the Fenian arrests in Ireland had arrived out by the Cuba. The papers publish full particulars, but do not devote much editorial atten tion to the affair. The New York Herald re- mar l ; - s " If John Bull is so scared now at the appear ance of a few thousand American Fenians scattered through the country, what will become of him when 200,000 of them, with all their centres and sub centres, running through his Channel Fleet like a shark through a shoal of minnows, land at Bantry Bay or Castlebar of revolutionary memory? Thus conscience,' said Hamlet, doth make cowards of us all.' " The New York, Times argues that " weak as this Fenian movement is, i t needs from America but the same support which the Southern rebellion re ceived from England to give it a force that would rock the British Kingdom to its foundations." It further proceeds to prove that America would be more justified in giving her sympathy to Ireland than England was in lending hers to the South. O n the capacity of America to damage England it like wise enlarges. Nevertheless, its conclusion is as follows : " But nothing of the kind will be done. There is not the slightest disposition upon the part of either our Government or the native born Ameri can people to give aid or comfort to this Fenian movement. They do not mean to put a straw in the path of any movement on the part of the British Government to vindicate its au thority- and save its own territory. That is the Ame rican idea of international duty—the American de finition of ' neutrality.' It is stated that the Fenian organisations in the United States contain nearly 200,000 sworn members, all Irishmen. One would say that such a body of men, consisting most l y of voters, would have it in their powerto exert a strong influence upon political parties and upon the Go vernment. Nothing of the kind shows itself. So far as the public takes any interest in these associations it is unfavourable to them. It gives them neither re. spect nor sympathy. The law cannot interfere with them because they violate no law ; but, so far as it is understood that their designs are to foment and fur ther rehelii'm against a Government with which the United. States is at peace, public opinion condemns them, and all the moralinfluence of this Government is against them. Considering what provocations have been given by England for a different spirit, this respect for international justice is in the highest degree creditable to American character. The con trast should make every English cheek crimson." On the 27th there was a meeting at the Cooper Institute, the principal feature of which was a lec ture by a Colonel Roberts, containing, however, no special feature worth mention. The reporter of the New York World gives the following particulars of the organization : " In connection with this very imposing and en thusiastic demonstration, it may be interesting to give some facts in reference to the Fenian organisa tion. There are at present about 500 circles in the country, and they are increasing at the rate of 100 a month. These circles number from 100 to 300 men, according to the district. There are also 300 female circles in the country presided over by Miss Ellen Mahoney, who is the female head centre. She is the principal of the normal school at Chicago. It is stated that the Brotherhood numbers in the British provinces 45,000; in Ireland, 200,000 ; in England, 65,000, of which 35,000 are in the city of London. There are over 5,000 soldiers belonging to the fraternity in the English army. The monthly expenses of the body amount to $60,000, and it is said that a tax of $2O per man on the Fenians in the United States is nearly paid up, and that the aggregate assessment will reach $5,000,000. There is in this city a military engi neering class of 100, taught by an engineer formerly on M'Clellan's staff in the peninsular campaign. Subscriptions are handed in to large amounts every week from all parts of the country. A bank account is kept by the Brotherhood in its own name, and a clerical force is employed to keep the accounts and attend to the correspondence of the brotherhood. One of the bank-note companies, as Colonel Roberts stated in his speech last night, are printing 8 per cent. bonds in the name of the ' Irish Republic,' one and indivisible. They will be ready next week in denominations of slo's, s2o's, sso's, sloo's, ssoo's, and sl,ooo's. In the centre will be a figure of Liberty drawing a sword, and at the sides vignettes of Emmett and Lincoln. It is confidently hoped by the leaders that these will be taken up very rapidly, and that large orders will come from the country and from the West. It was stated by a gentleman last evening that John Morrissey had offered to take $lOO,OOO of the bonds. It is stated that negotiations are pending for the purchase of eight ocean steamers, each warranted to carry 1,000 men, with the certainty almost that the purchase will be made before the Ist of Oct. It is further said that there have been immense purchases of arms from the Government by parties who are supposed to be identified with the Fenians, and that proposi tions for further purchases are now under con sideration. At the Fenian headquarters in Duane street they are continually boxing up muskets, but of course no information is given as to where they are sent. There are 27 circles in New York, and Colonel John 0. Mahoney is the head centre of the organisation throughout the country. The leader of the organisation in Ireland is said not even to be known by the members there. Stories are told that he has caused himself to be arrested re peatedly in the city of Dublin, and in this manner has obtained full information of the strength of all the prisons for future use." Witnesses for the defence in the Wirtz trial were being examined. The principal object of their examination was to throw the responsibility of the treatment on General Winder. A Washington letter says : " It is not true, as reported, that application was made to the President and the Secretary of War to permit Jeff. Davis to be taken to St. Louis to tes tify in the case of the rebel steamboat burners. In making a statement of the witnesses required by the defence, the counsel for the accused included the name of Jeff. Davis. The attention of the autho rities has not been officially called to the matter, but it is said the defendant's counsel will shortly urge the President to give an order to remove Davis to St. Louis for the purpose named. It is not at all probable that such an order will be made." Another Washington letter thus describes the enor mous accumulation of applications for pardons : " The pardon business of the Attorney-General's office has become so great as to necessitate a clerical force and office room ror which there is no provision by law ; consequently Mr. Pleasants, the chief par don clerk, and his assistants are greatly overworked,- while the bureau has really become one of great importance, especially to pardon-seekers. To illus trate the amount of business passing through this office, it may be noted that a large rack, 12 feet high and 8 wide, has been erected, which is divided into longitudinal sections running the whole length, each section containing the pardon applications from each State in process of passing examination. Virginia, of course, takes the lead, her pile being over 10 feet high, and containing over 3,000 appli cations. Alabama follows with a pile of 1,500, upon which the dust is accumulating, as the President is awaiting the action of the Alabama State Convention. Georgia is next in order, with a pile about four feet high, containing 1,200 applications. Mississippi and North Carolina are about the same, 700 each. South Carolina has at least 500, Tennesse 300 ; Kentucky, Louisiana, and Texas about 150 each; while Florida, Arkansas, Missouri, and Western Virginia are very moderate on the subject, and present but a score or two of applications. Altogether there are at least 10,000 applications in the Attorney-General's office." Generals Grant and Sherman both met with rail road accidents on the 27th. The former, returning from Indianapolis to Cincinnati, was switched off the track, and the car in which he was seated dragged for some distance before the train was stopped ; and the latter was thrown from the track about the same time on the Ohio and Mississippi road, between Lawrenceburg and Cincinnati, and the car which he occupied subjected to similar treat ment. The danger to General Grant is stated to have been the result of a deliberate attempt to assassinate him. The Cincinnati Gazette of the 28th inst. says : " The president of the road, 11. C. Lord, Esq., on hearing of the occurrence, immediately pro ceeded to Guilford to investigate the matter. It was found that some infamous scoundrel, as wicked as Booth, but with less courage, had broken the lock from the switch, and turned the latter with a view of throwing the train from the track. Fortunately, the work. was bunglingly done, and to this fact the escape of the train from being smashed is due, the locomotive and tender having, as described, kept the track, and thus prevented the car containing the General from going over. It was a narrow escape, and while the public will rejoice that this dastardly attempt on the life of theLieut.-Genaral failed, they will regret that there is little probability of finding the scoundrel who would plunge the nation into mourning a second time for another of its great and valued men." The President has been informed by telegraph that the Alabama Convention, by a note of 60 to 19, has passed an ordinance providing that all debts created by the State of Alabama in aid of the late war, directly or indirectly, are thereby declared void, and that the General Assembly of the State shall have no authority, and are thereby forbidden, to ratify the same, or any part thereof ; and the General Assembly of the State shall have no autho rity, and are forbidden to assume or make any pro vision for the payment of any portion of the debts contracted or incurred, directly or indirectly, by the Confederacy, its agents, or its authority. The Convention has also decided, by a vote of 61 to 25, to submit the amendments to the Constitution to a popular vote. The first election is to take place on the first Monday in November. A special despatch to the President from Colum bia, South Carolina, announces the adjournment of the State Convention, after a most harmonious and unanimous Session of 15 days. They have repealed the ordinance of secession, abolished slavery, equal ised the representation of the Senate and taxation throughout the State, giving the election of Gover nor and Presidential electors to the people ; ordered voting in the Legislature viva voce, endorsed the Administration unanimously, and directed a com mission to submit a code to the Legislature for the protection of the coloured population. Members of Congress are to be elected in November, and THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 12, lEEE. there is to be an extra Session of the Legislature to meet on the 25th of October. The despatch ends with the assurance that all are loyal and in good spirits. The ravages of the army worm in Texas are re presented to be alarming. In many sections of the State, it is said, there will not be more than a fourth of the crops worth gathering. Accounts from North-East Mississippi represent the prospects of the cotton crop as very poor. The negroes, it is said, are unwilling to work or make contracts with the planters by which the present crops can be secured. A despatch from New Orleans states that a cir cular has been issued from the headquarters of the Bureau of Freedmen in that State, announcing that hereafter, whenever judicial officers, who may have freedmen on trial, show a disposition to act justly, no interference will be made by the Bureau. The Episcopal Convention of the diocess of New York has exhibited a most conciliatory spirit toward the Church in the South. It declares that not only will the Southern delegates be received into the Ge neral Convention without a word of reproach, but the election of the Bishop of Alabama and the crea tion of the diocess of Arkansas, and the election thereto of a bishop, will be accepted by that body as valid and proper acts. Miss Emma Jones has been tried by court-martial in Charleston, South Carolina, and sentenced to pay a fine of $lOO. The charge against her was that she had behaved in a disgraceful and disloyal manner in the presence of citizens and United States' sol diers, and had trailed the American Union flag in the dust, and trampled on it, at the same time utter ing contemptuous and disloyal language. Mr. Disraeli on Farm Leases and Farm Labourers. The annual meeting of the Amersham and Ches ham Agricultural Association was held on Tuesday at Amersham. At the dinner in the Town-hall the chair was taken by Mr. T. T. Drake, of Shardeloes, who was supported by Lord Chesham, Mr. Disraeli, M.P., Mr. Du Pre, M.P., Mr. W. Lowndcs, Mr. J. Hale, Rev. C. Lloyd, &c. Mr. FIELD, in responding to the toast of " The tenant farmers," made some observations on the ne cessity of granting leases to tenants as a security for their investment, and described the present sys tem as a state of serfdom without the name. Mr. DISRAELI then rose to propose " Prosperity to the Association and the Agricultural Labourers." He said—l have a toast entrusted to me which refers to a class not inferior in value to the farmers them selves. If I stop for a moment to make an observa tion on the speech we have just listened to, it is not to provoke a discussion on an occasion like the pre sent on the subject of leases. Any one who has given attention to that subject must know that it would be impossible on an occasion like the present to ex haust the matter, or even to touch on the principles which lie at the foundation of it. It is very well to say a farmer ought to have a lease, but you must consider the terms of that lease, and you will find, when you come to discuss those terms with one who would be your tenant, that very different ideas are attached to these conditions from those which are entertained by another. Mr. Field said a farmer should have a lease or tenant right, but a lease and tenant right are two very different things. Mr. Pusey was one of the best authorities on this matter who have flourished in our time, and to his proposi tion with regard to tenant right I was always favour able'. I remember hearing him say in the House of Commons—although he was a man to whom agri culture and husbandry are more indebted than to any other man in our generation—that rather than let land on long leases he would prefer tohave no land at all. He thought that letting under such conditions would deprive him of the opportunity of performing some of the first duties which, in his opinion, attach to the possession of land. If you put it to a farmer whether lie will have a lease for a short term of years, he will give you remons for objecting to that. On the other hand, the landlord will say that as the value of land generally speaking has been rising for a long series of years, if he grants a lease for a long term it will be necessary to enter into some arrangement by which the rent shall be proportionately and periodically increased. That again might not satisfy the person who would be your tenant. (Hear, hear.) The fact is the ar rangements under which land is held must vary ac cording to the soil and the different counties. I do not think any abstract principles can be laid down on the subject. But this is quite clear, that per manent improvements ought to be done by the land lord—(hear, hear)—and if that be done there are very few tenants, I think, who would wish to embar rass themselves with leases. That is a point, I think, on which experience has led us all to the same con clusion. Gentlemen, it is by command of your pre sident that I rise to propose success to this institu tion, and especially to the agricultural labourers, on whose behalf (and not on that of the tenant farmers) this association was principally instituted. I wish to call the attention of the meeting to a mostimportant matter. I have always been, as I intimated before, very much in favour of local institutions which propose to themselves local objects, and which have closely followed up their original intention. And of all the local institutions in this country I have no hesitation in saying that the Amersham and Chesham Associa tion is the one which has been most successful, and that, proposing to itself a limited object it has com pletely achieved it. The object is to recognise merit and to reward skill in the agricultural population. It proposed that object, and it has succeeded in recog nising, in rewarding, and encouraging merit in that portion of her Majesty's subjects. I have not changed my opinion as to the expediency of rewarding long service by a pecuniary donation, and although that has been a subject of considerable controversy, I know as you all do, that this is a recognition of merit which they substantially appreciate. And so long as the labouring classes associate with them the feelings which they do at present, it would be most unwise, and give rise to great and painful mis conception if we were to terminate them. It is a very great mistake to suppose that because to the editor of a newspaper who perhaps receives £l,OOO a year the reward may seem trifling, therefore it is small in the estimation of the person who receives it. Recollect you must estimate the value, of re ward of £3 to a labourer with 12s. a week repre sents a sum equivalent to £5OO or £6OO to a gentle man with £5,000 a year. Now I have observed that gentlemen in the receipt of £5,000 a year are not absolutely indifferent to the chance of receiving £4OO or £5OO extra. (Laughter.) Why the income tax, about which the gentlemen with large incomes make such a noise, does not amount proportionately to anything like the sum which is obtained in addi tion to his income by one of the agricultural la bourers whose moral virtues and whose industry are recognised by this system of rewards. With regard to the other prizes there can be no controversy. Careful shepherds, industrious ploughmen, skilful hedgers and thatchers (as we have in the southern part of the county, though you have not here), why should not their merits be recognised by those among whom they live ? (Hear, hear.) There is another point touching the condition of the labouring popu lation which this and similarsocieties have attempted to influence. I mean their habitations. (Hear, hear.) You offered premiums for keeping cottages in good order, for the cultivation of gardens with the greatest industry and taste, and in other modes sought to encourage a feeling of the respectability of home among the labouring p )or. Gentlemen, that is an excellent object, but there were, I believe, domestic difficulties connected with the inspection, which have thrown obstacles in the way of the con tinuation of the prizes for the best kept cottages. But generally the premiums offered by this and similar societies for the cultivation of cottage gar dens had been productive of much good. I must repeat what I said on a former occasion, that the condition of the residences of our agricuitural popu lation demands most serious ,consideration. It is always said that cottages never will pay a fair in terest for the money invested in them. I will not say, as it is sometimes said, that you must look to the moral return you receive for building proper habitations on your estate, though I believe that is a substantial return ; but I say that in a pecuniary sense you get a return for your investment. It is true, that if you build a cottage for £l2O it is not practicable to receive a rent from the cottage in proportion to the investment. I admit that, but in the long run the farmer is so glad to have the labourer handy on his land, he sees the immense advantage to the health and strength of the labourers in having the dwellings well ventilated, that where the comfort and health of the labourer are provided for he will give an increased rent. Consequently, although the direct result may not remunerate the landlord, there is, on that ground, every reason why the condition of the labourers' dwellings should be improved. At the same timein all things there should be moderation. The other day I was shown some model cottages—this was in the county of Bucking ham—the porches of which were covered with plate glass. I do not know what they cost, perhaps £250 a piece. Now a porch is necessary to a cot tage, but the labourer ought not to be deprived of the light of day, or the shining of the moon by night, by a slate covering, and so I actually saw the porches covered with plate glass. (Renewed laughter.) That, no doubt, is folly, and tends to defeat the object we all have in view. Cottages at £250 a piece are the " follies" of the poor, just as we have some buildings which are styled the "fol lies" of the rich. Speaking strictly to the toast I can say there has been during the past 20 years a decided improvement in the dwellings of the poorin the county of Buckingham, but there are districts where there is still very much to be regretted. But we may may congratulate ourselves here that dur ing the last few years there has been a gradual rise in the wages of labour for the agricultural class in this county, and that is the foundation of all efforts for their improvement. Gentlemen, with these feel ings I ask you to drink prosperity to this associa tion, because it is founded on an excellent principle, and it has succeeded because it has confined itself to that principle, and has not aimed at that which a local association can never fulfil. If you want to stimulate agriculture and husbandry in this county, if you want to increase the means by which you make wealth, and so to become richer, you must have the larger association referred to by my excel lent friend, and that can only be done by a whole country acting with determination, and animated by honourable competition. But as regards this society, it does fulfil its object; it has improved the condition of the labourer in this district, and there fore I trust you will join me in drinking prosperity and success to it. (Cheers.) The Loss of the Eagle Speed. (From the Times' Correspondent) On Sunday morning, the 19th of August, 425 statute adult coolies, or 300 men, 93 women, and 65 children under ten, and 39 infants in arms, making 497 human beings, sailed from Port Can ning for Demerara in the Eagle Speed, Captain Brinsden. The ship was American originally, and pine built ; she was not classed high at Lloyd's, but she seems to have been an average vessel. All the formalities and inspection necessary in shipping coolies seems to have been attended to by the Pro tector of Emigrants and the agent for the colony, except one—the crew were not mustered by the pilot. Had this been done it would have been found that, though it was of a sufficient strength in num bers, only six were able for work. The captain was, or had been, ailing, but was on duty, and he was anxious to get out to sea, that there his men might get well after a debauch on land. The chief officer was ill and off duty. Even the coolie doctor was ill, but the poor doctor took his place until the ship should get to sea. The port master, Captain Hoskins, accompanied the ship down the estuary. The ship was towed by the Lady Elgin steamer, Captain Heath, on board of which, as a passenger, was Captain W. G. Maitland, of the 29th Punja bees. At four o'clock on the subsequent day, when wind and weather were both bad, the rope connect ing the steamer and the ship broke, and during the two hours occupied in passing another rope the ship drifted on to the Roy Mutlah sands and sprang a leak. Professional men assert that if she had been a new or an iron ship this would not have happened ; and a correspondent of a Calcutta paper asserts that 75 per cent. of all the vessels engaged in the coolie trade are not classed at Lloyd's at all. The Emigration Commissioners will see to this, doubtless. With a bad leak and heavy weather the ship ought at once to have been towed back to Halifax Island, the nearest good anchorage. Instead of this the steamer took her out towards sea till, at 10 o'clock at night, the steamer also broke down and both anchored. All this time, from 4 to 10, the coolies had been at the pumps, and continued them till 3 next (Tuesday) morning, when the steamer was signalled for help as the Eagle Speed was sinking. The steamer, how ever, neither towed the ship with her living freight back to Halliday Island nor passed lines by which the coolies might have boarded her, nor sent off her own three boats to help in transhipping them. The sea was high, but all the witnesses assert that any one of these plans might have been adopted, and would have saved every soul on board. Instead of this only three of the ship's boats were lowered. The shrieking coolies clung to the gangways and bulwarks, eager to save themselves, and a few threw themselves into the water on hencoops and were picked up. One boat, manned by the pilot and crew, made one trip and never returned. A second, manned by the second officer and others of the crew, was stove in after the first trip. Captain Hoskins made five trips, till sunstroke disabled him. Then the steamer put down one of its three boats, and it was long till the offer of money and shame would induce the now saved ship's crew to man it. They positively refused to save their captain, who was still on the wreck. At last they made two trips, bringing him and the coolie doctor and others off. The scene on board that Tuesday forenoon must have been terrible. The interpreter had dis appeared ; the compounder and others had broken open the brandy-chest ; the pilot had not returned ; no one could speak a word of the language ; no orders could be given. The captain left at half-past 12, and, though the ship did not sink for 18 hours after, the steamer returned to Port Canning with only 169 coolies saved, and leaving the rest without advice or encouragement to their horrible fate. The excuse given is that there was only one day's coal on board. But even at this stage of mismanage ment and barbarity there was enough of coal to have enabled it to go to Halliday Island, deposit the coolies, and return for the larger number still abandoned. A fine boat had been left on the wreck unlaunched, and as if to condemn the ignorant in humanity of those on board the steamer, it was launched by the coolies with the aid of one sick European and four negroes. The boat actually passed the steamer, and found its way up to port. Imagination refuses to picture the horrors of the 300 human beings when steamer and boat had left, all through that Tuesday afternoon and night, with the ship sinking, the water coming ever nearer, the breakers sweeping off the weak and despairing, and the strong clinging and climbing even higher on the masts. Wednesday morning dawned, and still no hope, till about seven she went down, and when the two steamers sent from Calcutta arrived at the scene they found only the top of the inizenmast with three boys clinging to it, and covered with the rags of the poor wretches who had been washed off or had thrown themselves into the sea unencumbered in the hope of safety. When the Lady Elgin returned she saved 50 who had found their way on pieces of the wreck to Halliday Island, and the Oudh steamer, which has since been searching the creek, has picked up 10 more. No less than 265 of the 497 coolies are lost. As if to add to the horrors of the story, several of the poor wretches who escaped drowning, when they landed on the mud islets near, were carried off by tigers. A story is told of two children who floated to shore. One had left his companion for a moment himselfrnec to l t a l n ir d e w retu n into see him n the sea ina andtiger's was last extremity. picked ja ws'' nil;again at the I cannot repeat to you the curses, not loud but deep, which are heard in almost every circle of so ciety, but are checked by the fact that a Court is trying the pilot. No one defends the sailors, who are acknowledged on all sides to have acted as English men are, thank God, but seldom known to act. All feel that Capt. Hoskins did his duty, and wonder that he did not insist on the steamer towing the vessel to land, or at least waiting longer by her, though he had no power. Even the captain of the coolie ship is less blamed than the pilot, who, know ing the language and being in charge, never returned to the wreck, excusing himself on the ground that the crew would not work and his boat was smashed, forsooth, as if there were not other boats. But the most culpable seems to have been the steamer's cap tain. The lives of these 500 people were in his hands, and he saved only 169 of them. As usual, when any such catastrophe as this or the cyclone happens at any other time than the cold season, both the su preme and local Governments are away—the former enjoying the cool delights of Simla, and the latter in Assam. I trust this catastrophe will open the eyes of the English authorities to the character of the coolie trade. The Emigration Commissioners in their last report, for 1864, write very pleasantly about it, and certainly all that the Government of India does for its emigrant subjects up to the time they go to sea is done. But such a disaster as this, a similar shipwreck and loss of life off the harbour of the Natal capital some months ago, such barbarity as the Mauritius colonists were guilty of nine years ago, when, under the baseless fear of cholera, they massacred 152 by exposing them for days on a rock in the Indian Ocean; the travaux forces of the French planters in Reunion, which our agent's report ex posed some time ago in our own columns ; the mor tality on board the ships, amounting, say the com missioners, in many special cases to 22i per cent. ; the incompetent surgeons, " two of whom are said to have been constantly intoxicated"—l quote their own report—all these facts, in the interests of huma nity alone, ought to put a stop to our coolie trade, and to such convention as Lord Russell has made with the French Emperor, which is as bad as the old Assiento treaties. But there is another argument. Is it or is it not a fact that India is under-peopled, that she cannot grow more cotton for want of hands to pluck it, that the infant industries of tea and coffee cultivation in the hills are being strangled by the difficulty of getting labour ? If so, surely it is suicidal in the Government of India, whether at home, where it is pressed by colonial, Parliamentary, and French interests, or here, where the Viceroy is but the head clerk of the Secretary of State, to give encouragement to such a trade—to do more than allow its subjects to carry their labour to any mar ket they like, under a Passenger Act such as that which regulates emigration in England. In the past 21 years India has sent half a million of her subjects to the colonies. Of these 310,202 have gone to the Mauritius, 90,200 to the West Indies, and the rest to the French colonies and Ceylon. These figures have a meaning beyond what they would have in little England. Not only do early marriages, zenana excesses, poor food, and past anarchy limit the growth of an Asiatic population, but the mass of the people are peasants with small holdings, and there is no labouring class except the 4,000,000 or 5,000,000 of indigenous tribes in the hills, one-sixth of whom, at least, have been shipped out'of the country. Is it right for the home authorities thus ignorantly to sacrifice our Indian subjects and the best interests of India, at a time when there is a cry for cotton,only to help a few colonists to grow sugar, and in the vain hope of bribing French planters to stope the " free labour" slave trade from the east coast of Africa?" The Gale on the North-East Coast. SHIELDS, Wednesday, 3 a.m. During the past 15 hours—that is, since the last de spatch was sent from this seaport—the gale has continued to rage with great fury, and at this hour of the morning there is no appearance of abatement. It is blowing hard upon the land, and the sea is very fearful. The brig Me dora, which foundered yesterday forenoon and drowned all her crew off here, was an old Tyne collier, and seven sea men have perished with her. Her master, Mr. Colbear, was a good sailor, but the vessel appears to have been one of those old tubs that are no credit to our marine, and the sea at the entrance to the Tyne seems to have crushed her like an egg-shell. The sea and wind were very violent in the early part of last night, and as the Tyne was somewhat flooded by the recent heavy rains, vessels were in serious danger of being driven upon the rocks upon the ebb if they took the harbour, and the newly-formed corps of volunteers (the Tynemouth Life Guards), the coastguards, and life boatmen kept a sharp look out. About 8 o'clock last night a schooner, the Ringwood, ;sf Yarmouth, attempted to seek the shelter of the Tyne ; but unfortunately, in taking the bar, the master kept too far to the northward, and the re sult was that the vessel ran upon the dangerous reef at the mouth of the Tyne known as the Black Middens. The North and South Shields lifeboats were launched and manned and despatched to the rescue of the crew, and the Life Guard Brigade also got the apparatus on the rocks, and succeeded in firing two rockets over the schooner ; but the crew made no effort to use the lines thus sent off, neither did they wait for the arrival of the lifeboats, but having got their long boat out they got into her and made for the shore. At the time surf was breaking upon the beach heavily and violently, and the back sweep of the waves was tremendous. The result was that when the crew got the boat in towards the shore it upset with them. Two of them, Jas. Johnson, tho mate, and Wm. Whittaker, a seaman, ga on a rock, and by sticking their hands in the mud they held on until they were able to climb up the face of the cliff and were saved. But the master, Mr. James Johnson, John Walker, and James Cox, seamen, were swept away by a tremen dous sea, and were drowned. Johnson and Whittaker were picked up by some friendly people, and were taken to the tavern frequented by the lifeboat boatmen, where they were furnished with dry clothes and refreshment, of which they were very much in need. When the life boats got down to the ship, which they did at considerable risk to the crews, the latter discovered that there was no one on board, and they brought information into the harbour that the crew had been washed overboard and drowned, which did not quite happen to be the case. If the poor men had only stood by their ship they would have been saved with the greatest ease. The body of the mas ter (Mr. Johnson) and that of the cook, a middle-aged man, were found among the rocks at midnight. The vessel, which has dried at low water, appears to bo very much broken, and seems to be little better than a wreck. A considerable number of light and laden ships have run into the Tyne during the past 24 hours, and, with the exception of the two vessels mentioned above, they have all reached the port without sustaining any damage. In consequence of the late great improvements effected by the Commis sioners, there is a very considerable • depth of water upon the bar of the Tyne at all times of tide. Only on ac count of the improvement in the depth of water in the estuary of the Tyne, a much heavier sea comes into the harbour in a storm like the one now raging, and the danger to human life has become greater. At present the Tyne and docks are very much crowded with shipping, which are here either for loading or shelter. A fleet of laden vessels, it is hoped, is in the Humber. But those vessels which have sailed from the Tyne and have not a good roadstead, will be in considerable peril, for the weather is really fright ful in the North Sea. Among the list of casualties which have come to hand, we have received information that the Economy, of Whitstable, has gone ashore at Hartlepool ; and it is also reported that another schooner, heavily laden, is ashore upon the Hall Rocks, and that two men are lost overboard. A shipwrecked crew is also reported to have been brought into the Tyne by a steamer, the vessel having gone ashore at Souter Point. The Catherine, of Lynn, has been lost at Seaham Harbour. Noon. The gale seems to be about over, and since daybreak this morning the sea has fallen considerably. Last night after dark a vessel foundered off the Wear and all hands perished. She is believed to be the Frederick VII., from Honfleur, and was the property of Mr. Scott, of Seaham harbour, to which latter place she was bound, light. She was commanded by Mr..) uray, a native of Rye. She had two other hands, a foreign seaman and a boy, as crew. During the afternoon Mr. Scott, the owner of the vessel, saw her crew making signals, and he took the train from Seaham and proceeded to Sunderland. In the train he watched her proceeding northwards, and upon getting upon the pier he saw her founder. Tho schooner Favour ite, of Ipswich, drifted up on the beach at Sunderlandlast night, but her crew, who had taken to the boats, were picked up by the Privateer steam tug and brought into Shields harbour. Several ships have arrived in the Tyne from the south this morning. We have had no .rain since midnight. The Messrs. Galignani, of Paris, have built and endowed an hospital for the English poor residing in this city. It is situated on the new Boulevard de Bineau, and contains 25 beds, six in the men's ward and six in the women's, and the rest in separate rooms on an upper story. It is placed under the direction of an English Sister of Charity, and two medical men, also English, have under taken to give gratuitous attendance. The building, which has a garden attached, was given over on Monday by the Messrs. Galignani to the English Ambassador, and becomes English property from this day forward.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—A catastrophe unparalleled for horror and fatality has been reported from Calcutta by the last mail. The chronicles, indeed, of such disasters, copious and appalling as they are, might be searched in vain for any such story as is now related. We hardly know how to designate the occurrence. It would have been a shipwreck if it had happened at sea or on a stormy coast without a chance of help, but the circumstances were not of that character. The scene rather resembled those executions during the French Reign of Terror when a number of vie tiins were floated down the Loire in a vessel built tti sink at a given moment with all on board. How ever, the public shall be made acquainted with the facts, and judge for itself. Two months ago a cargo of Coolies, that is to say, natives of India, was consigned from Calcutta to Demerara, so that the labour-market of the West Indies might be stocked by importations from the East. The trade is a regular trade, and not only recognised, but placed under certain restrictions to prevent abuses which might otherwise prevail. On this occasion the ship Eagle Speed embarked at Port Canning no fewer than 497 of these emigrants, of whom 300 were men,. 93 women, 65 little children, and 39 in fants actually in arms. We must beg the reader's attention to the classification of the passengers, and to the proportion of poor creatures—almost two fifths of the whole—who would be utterly helpless in an hour of peril. The ship was commanded by a Captain Brinsden, and she bad a crew of 26 offi cers and men, exclusive of cooks and cabin boys. Captain Hoskins, the port-master, went on board himself to see her out of the estuary, and aCalcutta steamer called the Lady Elgin, under the command of a Captain Heath, was ordered to tow her down the river. On this voyage she started on Sunday, the 20th of August last, one of the regular pilots, named Vardy, having been placed in charge of her. The first day of the voyage saw her as far as Hal liday's Island,_ where she anchored for the night. On Monday morning she proceeded on her way, but the wind was high and the sea rough, and at length, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon the towing rope broke, and the ship and steamer parted. This accident occurred within about a mile of the Mutlah Sands, and before a fresh rope could be passed from the steamer the ship drifted towards these sands, and there struck. In about half an hour, however, she got off, but she had sprung a leak on the sands, and had nearly two feet of water in her hold. A little later that evening the steamer's engines got out of order, and so about 9'oclock p.m. on the second day of the voyage, the ship anchored again. Before day broke on Tuesday it was found that the water was gaining on her, and though the Coolies had been kept at the pumps from the first the water gained still, till at length she signalled the steamer that she was sinking. At this time the steamer was close by. It was dark, but daylight was not far off ; a couple of hours at the utmost would have sufficed for pass ing ropes from one vessel to the other, and by 10 o'clock at latest the ship and its living cargo might have been back again at Halliday's Island. For an hour, however, the steamer did nothing. During this time the ship had launched three of her own boats, one under Captain Hoskins, another under the second officer, and the third under the pilot. Captain Hoskins made five trips with his boat, and ceased only when disabled by sun-stroke. The second officer's boat was soon stove in, and so was the pilot's. Still there was yet one fine boat on board the ship and three on board the steamer, and about 4 o'clock in the morning the steamer did put one of these down, though the utmost difficulty was found in getting the rescued crew of the ship to man it. The pilot actually refused to return to the ship at all, though he understood the language of the Coolies, and could have given directions and orders. In the meantime, the scene on board the emigrant ship was terrible. There was nobody there who could speak to the Coolies or give them any instructions or encouragement. The spirit-room had been broken open, and the brandy broached. All the Europeans were taken off safely, but it is asserted that the last who left endeavoured to set the ship on fire. At length, about half-past 12, when 169 Coolies only had been saved, the steamer actually put her head about and returned to Port Canning, leaving upwards of 300 of these poor creatures to their fate. It was a slow and shocking one. The ship lived all through the night, and up to 7 o'clock on Wednesday morning, settling down in the water by degrees. Some of the Coolies threw themselves off on hencoops or spars, and floated to the islands, where they became the prey of tigers. One little boy survived to tell how he was drifted to the jungle with another about as big as himself, and how he saw him in the jaws of an enormous tiger a minute afterwards. The stronger Coolies clambered up the rigging and postponed their fate a few hours, but at last death overtook them all, and when steamers at length returned to the rescue three boys clinging to the top of a mast were all that could be seen of the ship and her crew. Others were picked up subsequently on the water or in the jungle, but when the tale was made up it was found that of the 497 Coolies 265 had perished, while only 232 had been saved. Of course, a sacrifice so frightful has provoked an inquiry, and we are rejoiced to see that public opinion in Calcutta has been shocked as severely as it will be in England. There appears to have been something wrong at almost every point. The ship's crew were never mustered before start ing, or it would have been found that, out of the twenty-six, twenty, either from sickness or intoxi cation, were unfit for duty. The second officer was drunk, the boatswain was drunk, and several of the crew were drunk, and continued drunk all through the night to the next day. The first officer was ill and off duty, and the captain, though on duty, was ailing too. In fact, he alleged as a reason for get ting to sea that he wished his mento get right again after their debauches on shore. Then the vessel, it is said, must have been unfit for the voyage, or she would never have sprung a leak on the Mutlah Sands. As to the behaviour of the people concerned, there is a chorus of indignation and censure. Captain Hoskins, who did his duty better than any man there, d ec l a res that the ship might have been saved with every . soul on board, and this is proved to be a sound opinion by the fact that, after the steamer had left, the Coolies, aided by one European, did launch the remaining ship's boat, and actually take this boat safe to port. The excuse made by the-captain of the steamer is that he had only one day's coal on board, but this supply would, surely, have enabled him to take the ship back to Halliday's Island ; and, at any rate, on the first discovery of the danger all the steamer's boats might have been launched, each trip of which, we are told, m ight have saved 50 lives. As to the crew, their conduct seems to have been what might have been expected from their character and con dition. It was only by bribery that they were at last induced to go and bring off their captain from the sinking vessel. Thus, in the light of day, in weather not dangerous, in a mere river channel, within four hours' sail of a good anchorage, and with a steamtug actually on the spot and in com pany, nearly 300 miserable creatures were left to drown. The wonder is, indeed, that even so many were rescued, for the steamer herself when she abandoned the wreck took away but 160, and the rest were picked up floating on the water or stranded among the tigers in the jungle. More lives have been occasionally sacrificed by overwhelming and insurmountable calamities, but never before, we suppose, was there a loss at once so heavy and so avoidable. The weight of responsibility will be apportioned by judicial decision ; but enough has been acknowledged to show that accident has entered less, and misconduct far more, than is usually the case into this deplorable history of disaster. HERALD.—The Government of the United States must have the best reason just at prese n t f or wish ing to remain at peace with the world ou t s id e it. Considering the immense diffi cu lty o f th e t as k which lies before it, that it is called upon to stanch the wounds of a nation still bleeding and sore from the . results of a conflict u n p rece d en t e d i n mo dern times for its fierceness ; to calm the still seething elements of discord, which threaten, on the one hand, to prevent the reconstruction of a state so violently dislocated and rent asunder ; on the other hand, to substitute for the war of sections a more furious war of race, which will heap up horror upon horror ; considering, too, that the resources of the country have been already to all appearance taxed to their uttermost, so that their only chance of re covery seems to lie in long years of peace, we can well understand that Mr. Johnson and his advisers are prepared to set their faces most firmly against any suggestions of fresh war with foreign nations. We can believe that they are prepared to discoun tenance any absurd raid into Canada, or descent on Ireland by the crazy meti called Fenians, or any crusade in Mexico in behalf of a lost cause. It has needed all their strength to get the better, in four years' war, of a minority of their citizens arrayed in arms against their Government ; to challenge just now, with any chance of success, the power of a first-class Government, such as that of France or England, would be impossible. It is to their inte rest to live not only at peace but on good terms with these countries. The European Powers, on their side,-are willing, as far as in them lies, to give every opportunity to America to carry out her des tinies in the way that pleases her best, to leave her undisturbed to the development of a restored polity which may seem to them but a poor reward in itself for the immense sacrifices that have been made in its assertion by arms. This being so, we think it is much to be regretted that any remnant of ill feeling should be still kept up between the English and American Governments by the prolongation of such a correspondence as that on the subject of the Alabama and her Consorts. This correspon dence is needlessly irritating, and can lead to no ' good result. Every American statesman of educa tion must know perfectly well that no English Minister could listen to a claim so ill-founded, we might say so insulting, as that of compensation to be paid by this country for the depredations of these cruisers. The thing is simply out of the question. All the batteries of Mr. Adams might be pointed against the Foreign Office for years without any prospect of forcing it to a surrender on such a chal lenge. We had hoped that the whole of this tedious , business was done with ; that when Federals and Confederates had agreed to bury the hatchet even Lord nussell and Mr. Adams might have smoked the pipe of peace together. We were sadly dis appointed by the issue of last night's Gazette. A correspondence of a truly formidable nature WAS before us. Not content, it seems, with despatches of the ordinary dimensions, the rival diplomatists have been pelting one another with treatises. Lord Russell, whatever may be his faults, cannot fairly be accused of wasting his autumn leisure. In his last letter he positively gives us a new edition of Vattel, a resume of the views on international law of Kent and Story, Wheaton and Lord Stowell, a summary of the history of the American revolu tionary war, with a second volume on the revolt of • the South American provinces ' • a third on the long-winded discussion between the United States and Portugal regarding the manner in which the former regarded their duty as neutrals. It would be asking too much of the patience of our readers were we to attempt to follow our indefatigable Foreign Minister through the tremendous letter which he indited on August 30 as an answer to one sent him by Mr. Adams on May 20 of this year. As it seems to have taken him three months' hard work to compose it we should do it scant justice were we to epitomise it in as many minutes. " The time," he says, "is favour able to a calm examination of the facts and principles involved in such cases." This calm examination accordingly, he proceeds to make after his own fashion, which is not deficient in clearness nor in point, but is certainly open to blame on the general ground implied in the old proverb—Qui s'excuse s'accuse. He strives to show that in their early recognition of the belligerency of the South, Her Majesty's Government correctly interpreted the law of nations, and that with regard to the armed cruisers they did all that they were justified in doing to prevent them from sailing. On the first head, Vattel comes in as•a matter of course, and his dic tum is very clearly pronounced on the question of belligerent rights in civil war. That America , should claim to exercise the rights of a belligerent, while Great Britain was not allowed to claim those of neutrals, was a position which Great Britain could never permit. America herself had acted over and over again in the same way as England, and France in a similar civil war had sided with our enemies. -Lord Russell goes extensively into the history of the civil war between the South Amerlan States and the mother Countries of Spain and Portugal between 1810 and 1823. He dives into the angry correspondence between the Portu guese and United States Governments on the sub ject of aid afforded by the citizens of the latter to - the Brazilian insurgents. Mr. Adams, the then President of the United States, replied to the com , plaint of Portugal by offering legal redress in the American courts, adding—" But you cannot make the Government of the United States responsible for the acts of men on the high seas, over whom. the United States exercise no jurisdiciton." The destruction of the commerce of Portugal was at this time a regular trade in the ports of the North. They had 40 or 50 armed cruisers on the sea, manned by Americans, but flying the flag of Brazil. In our case there have been but three or four„ which our Government certainly did its best to seize before they could hoist the Confederate colours. When, among his other arguments,' Lord Russell observes that the British Govern ment cannot be held responsible for the acts of men who are beyond its jurisdiction, he reminds us of the French general, who being asked by his King to bombard a certain town, gave, in reply, a hundred reasons why he could not do it, the first being that he had no artillery. Why, this simple fact should dispose of the whole subject. " Supposing," says Lord Russell, " that a merchant or passenger vessel belonging to the United States were to go to the. coast of adagascar, and were to meet a ship from Boston with cannon and muskets, and the merchant ship being then armed were to take part against Brazil in the war between Brazil and Paraguay-- let me ask, I say, whether your Government would' think themselves bound to afford reparation to Brazil for all the captures made by that ship ? Yet such is the case of the Shenandoah." We cannot but, think that it would have been far more dignified in.' our Foreign Secretary to have briefly stated the impossibility of acceding to such demands, than to • have gone into so lengthened and wearisome an effort to rebut them, only to wind up with so weak and humiliating a conclusion as that " her Majesty's Government are willing to consent to the appoint rueiat of a commission" to consider and determine upon the claims arising between the two Govern ments during the civil war. We cannot conceive that any good could arise from the labours of such a commission. It is to be hoped that the United states Government will not avail itself of the tempt ing opportunity to reopen the hundred vexed ques tions which it were to be wished on all hands might now be suffered to sleep. Mr. Adams has made known the proposition, and awaits instructions. We, too, await his news with much apprehension. We dare not say what effect upon the temper of this country, what disastrous disturbance of the present friendly relations between England and America, may not result from the deliberate at tempt to appraise the losses caused by the Confe derate cruisers and exact payment for them at oil hands. This, however, is the contingency for which Lord Russell has been preparing us. COUNTRY MARKETS HIILL.-T UESDAY.
