'OSSEi Tilt - SLIM, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28, 1865. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day, INDIA AND CHINA• ,- -Q By the arrival of the Calcutta mail we have re ceived our private correspondence and files of papers from Calcutta to the 22d of September; and Hong kong to the 11th of September. Ronan and seized three cities in the prefecture of Kwei-te. They will probably remain unmolested until they have recovered from their late defeat near Pekin. "We hear nothing of interest from the three Northern Ports (Newehwang, Tien-tsin, and Chefoo). "At Shanghai the chief item of interest appears to have been a meeting of the Chamber of Com merce. The chamber has been at some pains to set clearly before the authorities generally numerous causes of dissatisfaction with the working of the treaty of Tien-tsin, and it will be seen from the various resolutions passed that there is much room for still further progress in the satisfactory conduct of our relations with China. " Burgevine has been officially reported by the Mandarins as having perished while crossing a stream during the rainy season. " The British bark Dispatch, from Shanghai to Foochow, was totally wrecked in the Yang-tsze, not far from the wreck of the Ocean Mail, on the 18th ult. " From the South Coast ports there is no news of importance. All is quiet at Canton and Macao. The nefarious traffic in coolies for shipment to the Guano Islands is still brisk in both places. Portu guese conduct it chiefly. " All is quiet in the ports at Japan, and the resi dents at the different settlements were engaged as much in pleasure . as in business, according to the latest advices, which are to the 26th ult. " The London mail of July 26th is now overdue, but nothing has as yet been heard of her, either here or by last dates at Singapore. Some of the annual breaksdown between this port and Suez is conjectured a, the cause of the mail steamer's deten tion. The London mail of July 17th arrived here on the 28th uIC by the French line of steamers." The Swiss Constitution. (REUTER'S EXPRESS.) BERNE, OCT. 24. The National Council of the Swiss Confederation assembled yesterday, in extraordinary session, to deliberate upon the revision of the constitution. The sitting was opened by a long speech from the Pre sident, M. Planta, in which he expressed his indi vidual opinions upon the revision, the budget for 1866, and the Alpine railway, which last was not one of the subjects upon the paper. He dwelt upon the surprise with which the revision question had been received by the people, which had taken up an observant rather than an active position. lie then alluded to the many apprehensions and fears the revision occasioned, and concluded with the warning to be careful, considering the material tendencies of the age, lest Switzerland should sink entirely into a commercial republic, and suffer the same fate as formerly had overtaken Venice. Previous to entering upon the order of the day Dr. A. Escher, of Zurich, the reporter of the com mission, moved that the question should first be decided whether a revision of the constitution were required. Two members, Messrs. Legesser, of Lucerne, and Acklen, of Aargan, spoke against the measure. Revision of the constitution, they con tended, must always proceed from the generally , -etpressed ' , popular will; bnt-in the present - instance this was not the case. The question was only brought forward on account of the French com mercial treaty, in order to grant a few Aargan Jews the same right of settlement as the French. For the Bernese the matter was not pressing enough to require a more extensive reform. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SOLDIER CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING AN HOTEL KEEPER.—George Barber, a private of the 3d battalion of Grenadier Guards, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and assaulting Mr. Charles Elmo Franca telli, manager of the St. James's Hotel, Berkeley-street, Piccadilly. Mr. Francatelli said that for some days past the pri soner had been parading in front of the hotel, his ob ject being to annoy one of the female servants who had discolitinued his acquaintance about four months. Last evening the prisoner came again, and threw stones at the pantry window. He wont out and requested the prisoner to go away, and as he refused be got the as sistance of a constable, and on the constable requesting the prisoner to leave, ho turned round and struck him (Mr. Francatelli). He then gave the prisoner into cus tody. On the way to the station the prisoner, who had been drinking, was very violent, and took off his belt. Mr. Albert Willey, residing at the St. James's Hotel, proved seeing the prisoner throw i stone at the window, and also struck Mr. Francatelli. When the prisoner was being taken to the station he resisted a good deal, and took off his belt, but was prevented using it. Henry Ricketts, 12 C, said ho went with Mr. Francatelli and advised the prisoner to go away. He refused and struck Mr. Francatelli. Ho was very violent on the way to the station, took off his belt, and would have used it if he had not been prevented. It required four constables to tako the prisoner, who was drunk, to the station. The prisoner received a fair character from his sergeant. The prisoner made no defence. Mr. Knox said he could not pass over the prisoner's conduct, as he had behaved with great violence. It was a fortunate circumstance for the prisoner that he had been prevented using his belt, as he might have been sent for Ile should commit the prisoner for a month with hard ab our. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY CAREER OF A MODERN JEREMY DID DLER.—Joseph Broadbent, alias West, aged 40, who has been for a long time the occupant of a small house at Old Ford, Bow, wh,Vai he has dignified by the name of "Clay Hall Works," e:d who has also rented an unfurnished office as "Broadbent Brothers and C 0.," No. 30, Alder manbury, City, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with defrauding many tradesmen of goods and money by false pretences. Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, defended the prisoner. Inspector Kerressy said a warrant was granted for the apprehension of the prisoner in August last, since which time he had been too active for the officers in search of him, but he was caught a fortnight since by Lambert, a police-constable, No. 311 K, in the Bow-road. The pri soner, on being accosted as Mr. Broadbent, said, " Oh, dear, no ; Broadbent, Broadbent, what an odd name ; my name is West," and ran away. Ho should only proceed with two cases this day. There would be 20 or 30 more if the prisoner was remanded. It appeared that the prisonorhad victimised many trades men by representing ho was the head of the firm of Broadbent, Brothers, .Clayhall-works, Old Ford. Bow, and 36, Aldermanbury, City. Ho obtained supplies of every thing he required, and presented cheques for the debts he owed, receiving balances of his victims, for each cheque was made out for a sum over and above the amount owing by him. The cheques were in every instance returned dishonoured. Mr. Henry Elverston, news agent, No. 38, High-street Bow, said the prisoner was indebted to, him 12g. for newspapers. On the 15th of July last the prisoner's daughter came to him with a cheque for £2 on the General London Bank (Limited), No. 27, James-street, Covent garden, and said she had been sent by her father to pay the debt, and asked for the difference. He gave her Bs. and a receipt. The check was returned dishonoured. In cross-examination by Mr. Joseph Smith, tho witness said a person named Nicholls waited upon him with the money after the cheque was dishonoured, but he refused to accept of it, because he thought it would be compromising a felony. The prisoner had no account at the General London Bank. Mr. John Gaylor, Joan of Arc-place, Old Ford, Bow, grocer and cheesemonger, said the prisoner was in his debt £4 3s. at the close of last year for goods supplied. On the 14th of January the prisoner brought him a cheque on the London, Birmingham, and South Staffordshire Bank (Limited), No. 110, Cheapside, for £5 125., and he gave him the difference, £l9s. The cheque was sent to the bank, and returned with the words, " Dishonoured, no account," written on it. Edward Cable, 241 K, police-constable, said he took the prisoner into custody last night at his office, 36, Alderman bury. He told him ho held a warrant against him for defrauding Mr. El vaston. The prisoner said he had already sent the money to him. He said to the prisoner, " Your name is Broadbent," to which ho replied, "No, it is not. You have made a mistake. My name is West." A voice at the back of the court here called out, " Ho has done me," "Ah, and me too," exclaimed another. Mr. Partridge said there was no occasion to go into any more cues at present. Ho remanded the prisoner for a week. MARKETS—This Day. COVENT GARDEN.

ALBANS BANKS.—An item now going the rounds of the paper is calculated to give the erroneous impression that the St. Albans banks have received from the Canadian Government the full amount of the money stolen from them by the raiders. The fact is the banks lost $210,000 by the raiders. Of this $90,000 was recaptured, placed in the hands of the Canadian authorities, and afterwards by Coursol and La mothe was handed back to the raiders. This the Canadian Government was legally bound and agreed to restore. The amount appropriated by the Canadian Government for this purpose was $50,000 in coin. At the time of its appropriation, in January last, gold was worth 230 ; but payment was delayed till the Bth day of April following ; when gold had declined so that the banks were not able to realise over 150 from their sales. The consequence was that the St. Albans Bank received only about $31,090 in currency; the First National Bank received $27,000 in currency, and the Franklin County Bank received $30,000 of its own stolen bills, purchased and returned to that bank by an agent of the Canadian Government, appointed for that purpose. It is currently reported that those bills were purchased from the agent of the raiders, at Montreal, at fifteen cents on the dollar. AN ENGLISH FIREBRAND IN A3IERICA. —A young Englishman of highly respectable connections in this country, Mr. G. St. George Grenfell, has just been sen tenced by a military commission in America to be hanged. President Johnson has, however, in consideration of re commendations by the commission, and the subsidence of the rebellion, commuted the sentence to imprisonment for life in the Dry Tortugas. The charges against Mr. Gren fell were of an attempt to release Confederate prisoners from Camp Douglas, near Chicago, and to lay that city in flames. = Pcd/ Mall Gazette. DIRECT TRADE BETWEEN VIRGINIA AND FRANCE. —A meeting of prominent citizens was held at Norfolk in regard to the establishment of a line of steamers between St. Nazaire, France, and Norfolk. Resolutions were passed to the effect of carrying through the grand enterprise. Some eight hundred thousand dollars are already sub scribed, the sum of three million dollars being needed to carry out the views of the projectors. Louis Napoleon is said to take an active interest in tho enterprise, and has promised aid. General Palmer, commanding in the State of Kentucky, bad an interview with tho President a few days ago relative to the military situation there. General Palmer does not agree with Governor Bramlette that it is necessary to remove the negro troops from that State, and it is not pr o b a bl e th a t th e troops will bo withdrawn from the interior of the State, at least not for the present. " The attention of the Director-General of Post offices is directed towards the acceleration of the mails, particularly between Bombay and . Calcutta. New arrangements are in progress to bring the Bombay mails via Mirzapore to Calcutta, which, it is expected, will be carried out -fry -November mext. Much depends on the progress of the rail ways for the full completion of the postal services via Nag pore and Mirzapore. At one time it was hoped that the Nagpore branch of the railway would be ready, as far as Wurda, the frontier of Nagpore, by March, 1866 ; but now it seems that Nagpore will not be reached until the beginning of 1867. How ever, in the meantime the roads are being hur ried on and expedited, and arrangements have been made for a mail cart from Wurdah to Mirzapore, from the beginning of November. The advisability of changing the route for the overland mails between Calcutta and Bombay will then be tested. The adoption of the route via Mirzapore and Wurdah will, it is expected, effect a saving of 13 hours in the time of transit of the mails. Every gain in point of despatch, however small, is to be de sired. The slight saving of time that will be thus effected will not, however, do much towards obviating the inconvenience at present result ing from the absurd arrangement through 'which we are, during a portion of the year, reduced to a bi monthly communication with Europe. The simul taneous departure of the overland mail via Bombay, and that from Calcutta, via Galle, renders the latter mail perfectly useless for either general or commer cial purposes. Yet the public has still to pay for a means of despatch from which it cannot possibly derive any advantage. Now that Bom bay has been brought so near Calcutta, the time has evidently arrived for establishing a weekly mail between Bombay and England, in lieu of the alternate fortnightly mail, via Bombay and via Galle. The present arrangement is a mere waste of the public money, and exposes the folly of long contracts in such matters. The question has long since been taken up by the Chamber of Com merce ; the Director-General of Post-offices has urged the course we recommended in these columns six months ago upon the Government of India ; and the latter has addressed the Secretary of State to the same effect. It appears, however, that in some way or other the convenience of Australia and China would be affected, and, while threatened with an enhanced rate of postage, we are the last con sidered. " An English company is, we understand, in the course of formation, which proposes the embankment of the whole river frontage of the Hooghly, from Prinsep Ghat to Chitpore-bridge, with landing wharves, steam and hydraulic cranes, and suitable landing sheds andwarehouses. The cost of the under taking is estimated at £3,000,000, and it has, we hear, the support of men of undoubted wealth and position. The scheme is based upon certain conces sions on the part of the local Government, and has been very favourably received by the home authorities. If the undertaking being carried out—and there seems very little doubt about it—the trade of Calcutta will receive an immense impetus. The subject is one of great importance to the mercantile com munity of this city, and well deserving of every support which Government can legitimately give to it." THE CALCUTTA MARKETS. The Bank of Bengal rates of discount remain without change, and money is still very abundant. In exchange there has been a little activity, and the rate of Bank bills has advanced to '2 746, at which rate there . . 1 ;;;; "‘ l7a: ° n7t - been much doing, o upapernt o and quotations have not altered much, and may be given as follows :—Fours, 90r. 12a. to 91r.; Fives, 104 r. 4a. to ha l s n be G e o n v a er f n a m ir e a n m t 104 r.

Bank of Ben gal maintain their former prices. INDIA. We take the following summary of news from the Calcutta Englishman of the 22d of September : " From the Bhootan frontier we have this week no news of importance to relate. After the defiant rejection of our terms by the Deb Rajah war. seems inevitable, and every preparation con tinues accordingly. A reconciliation has taken place between this potentate and the notorious Tongso Penlow, who, in a recent communication we hear, intimated to the Deb Rajah that he and Doggo Penlow would be at Tassisudon after the rains, and consider their plans for recapturing the Dooars. This, of course, greatly diminishes the chances of peace. It is not expected that the troops will not march into the enemy's country before the end of the year. " The Cabul correspondent of the Delhi Gazette sends that journal some curious intelligence from Central Asia, where the actual state of affairs is as little known to us as in England. It is stated, on the authority of letters received from merchants in Bokhara, that the King of Bokhara has confi - cated the property of the Russian merchants there, that the Russians had done the same IN ith the pro perty of Bokhara and Cabul merchants, and that the King of Bokhara has marched a large body of troops against the Russians. Among other reasons for looking with suspicion upon this intelligence is the contradictory fact that Bokhara is known to favour the cause of Ufzul Khan ; and there is, con sequently, no obvious connection between a quarrel between Russia and Bokhara and the confiscation by the Russians of the property of Cabul merchants. If, however, such a quarrel had really taken place, its effect will be to accelerate the complete subjuga tion and absorption by Russia of the whole of Central Asia. " The Viceroy leaves Simla on the 9th proximo. It was his intention to remain at Agra during the first three months of the cold weather, and to hold a durbar, to which all the chiefs of Rajpootana would be invited, proceeding to Calcutta in the beginning of January, and returning to Simla in March. This plan, however, has just been entirely upset by a telegram from the Secretary of State, refusing to sanction it, and insisting on the immediate return of the Viceroy to Calcutta. The Viceroy would have acted in a more dignified manner had he kept his plans quiet till, sure that he would be permitted to carry them out. The control of the Secretary of State over the action of the Local Government, exercised, as it now is, without even a decent degree of respect for dignity or authority, is daily bringing it into greater contempt, and it is deeply to be regretted the Viceroy should again and again afford reason able grounds for such objectionable interference. CHINA. We take the following from the Overland China Mail of the 11th of September : " There are really no political even t s to record regarding the past forthight. Rumours of success ful revolt from imperial authority somewhere about Western Tartary have reached a northern journal through the medium of a Shantung man. The re port states that the kingdom of I-li has been wrested from the hands of the Celestial Emperor by a son of the once celebrated Chang Kai-ur, who, as a Maho medan rebel, was beheaded in the second year of Tao Kiang's reign. Should this report be true, the Mahomedan faith will have established itself in a tarp portion of Central Asia, as the territory said to have passed from Tartar rule is about five times the size of England and Wales. It is described as lying to the north-west of Thibet, from which, however, it is physically separated by the Koul kun mountains. It was long employed as a penal settlement for political offenders. Rebellion so far away from treaty ports is not generally in teresting to foreigners ; the only significance of this conquest being the progress and vitality still exhibited by the upholders of the Mahome dan creed ; a progress which may yet bring the sword of the prophet, if not his faith, into the heart of the Chinese empire. In the meantime, the limits of China have undergone curtailment, assuming that the loss of I-1i be correctly reported. The Nyen-fei, or Northern rebels, have retired upon M. Klein, of Basle, Federal Councillors Dubs and Howegger, of Zurich, M. Vay, of Geneva, and M. Girard, Neufchatel, opposed this opinion. It was certain that the present constitution contained many prejudices, and the Council considered it the more advisable course to eliminate these before being urged to lo so by the people. A speaker, M. Legesser, had said that every constitution must be a serious fact. This was the case with the constitu tion of 1848, which had been the offspring of a great popular movement. Such an act had not, however, always to be sought in marching battalions against each other, but also in sitting down in cool blood to remove deficiencies before they gave rise to disturb ance. A chief necessity of every good constitution was that it should afford the means of making material progress. The result of the long debate was an almost unanimous resolution to enter upon the proposed revision, and to recommence it at the ensuing sitting in accordance with the report brought in by the commission. Deaths of Prime Ministers. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —Trusting to your kind courtesy in insert ing in your valuable journal my different remarks of public events, I now beg leave to give you the dates of the deaths of the four Prime Ministers who have died within the last 60 years as Premiers, i.e., since the commencement of the present century. In January, 1806, the'great William Pitt died, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. In May, 1812, Mr. Percival was shot in the lobby of the House of Commons, by Bellingham. In August, 1827, died the immortal George Canning, after having been Premier only a few short months. He, too, like the two immortal Pitts, was buried in Westminster Abbey, and last, not least, the great man whose loss all England now deplores, and who, ere this letter of mine finds a place in the columns of your journal, will be interred by the side of the great men above alluded to, in October, 1865, having died nearly to a day sixty years after the memorable and decisive battle of Trafalgar, 21st October, 1805. " 'Tis sixty years since" Lords Liverpool, Grey, Melbourne, Aberdeen, the Duke of Wellington, the Earl of Ripon, and last, not indeed least, the immortal Sir Robert Peel, whose sad and premature death the country will have to bewail and deplore for many and many a long year to come (and he, without wishing in the slightest degree to detract from the merits of any of the Ministers I have mentioned, was the greatest man and Minister England or even the world ever saw). Lord Liverpool, although he did not die actually as Premier, resigned in conse quence of ill health, and not from or by reason of defeat. In April, 1827, he was overtaken by a fit of apoplexy, whereupon his Ministry (which had existed for 15 years, ever since the death of Percival in 1812), came to an end (he was succeeded by ( erw s o L7naanin g , who, as I have stated above, died the August following). He, however, did not die until quite the end of the year 1828, nearly two years after he had ceased to be Premier, and while the great Duke of Wellington was first Lord of the Treasury. Trusting to your usual kind courtesyto give insertion to my letter, and apologising for its length—l remain, sir, your obedient servant, A LOVER OF HISTORICAL DATES AND FACTS. THE MELTON SEASON.—Mr. Butler-Johnstone, M.P., and Mr. Wostley Richards, are among the new comers ; Sir Frederick Johnstone and Mr. Chaplin have taken Coventry-house ; and Mr. Craufurd, with a splendid stud, joins Mr. Gilmour, at the liarborough Arms. Lord Wilton has built 10 additional boxes at The Lodge, where there is now stabling for about 40 horses. —Stan ford Mercury. A PORPOISE NEAR HAMMERSMITII-BRID GE. --A fine porpoise, about 4ft. long, was seen on Sunday morning last as high up the Thames as Barnes, and since then ho has been disporting himself between Barnes and the Bishop of London's grounds near Putney -bridge. On Monday, men in boats, with nets and rifles, endeavoured to capture him, but without success. A fisherman named Ribbens caught him in his net, but the net was so weak that almost as soon as the porpoise felt himself entangled ho broke away with the greatest ease. Yesterday the pursuit was renewed, and, as there was no netting tackle at hand strong enough, attempts were again made to shoot him, but he baffled his pursuers, rising here and there up and down the river where he was least expected, affording excellent sport to those who happened to be on the banks or in wherries on the water. Just before dusk ho made a plunge, and was not again seen until near Putney, and thence he passed under the bridge and down the river, leaving his pursuers far behind. It is between 14 and 15 years since a porpoise was seen so high up the river as Barnes. Gov. Brownlow, in his message to the Legislature of Tennessee, opposes the extension of theright of suffrage to the negroes, except ih case the rebels were allowed to have it ; is hi favour of the present franchise law ; advo cates pardon for the masses, and no mercy for the rebel leaders ; strongly urges the encouragement of emigration ; advocates the colonisation of negroes, either in Texas or Mexico, after the French are cleaned out; is in favour of granting the negro the right to testify in the courts, of replacing the school fund stolen by rebel officials, of pre serving the hermitage property, of passing laws on the subject of intemperance, amounting to prohibition of sale, abd endorses President Johnson's course. Mr. MILLER, M.P.—My hon. friend the member for Bath (Mr. Tite) has proposed the resolution as a political supporter of Lord Palmerston, and I can assure you that if he had pleasure in proposing it, I have equal pleasure in seconding the motion as a member of her Majesty's Opposition. While I say I was in opposition to Lord Palmerston, I am sure I never entertained any other feeling, and I do not believe that it was entertained by any other man who knew him, than that he was a man of un blemished integrity, and actuated by the most pa triotic motives. He was generous and courteous in his bearing as a gentleman, and a most kind-hearted -man. (Hear.) •In saying this lam notmerely express ing my own sentiments, but I am sure every member of the Opposition will equally echo the opinions to which I have given expression, of respect for that illustrious man, who for 57 years was a member of the House of Commons, and who for 51 years of that time filled the highest official positions in the country. During the whole of that period it was admitted that he never said a selfish word or did a selfish action, having no other object in view but the good of his country and the happiness of those whom he represented. Lord Palmerston, as a politician, has passed away, and can only now be remembered as a public statesman, as a great . and patriotic mem ber of the British Government, to whom we are deeply indebted for services rendered, and whose example we should do well to follow. (Hear, hear.) In political life I believe that the truth can be best arrived at when the ideas of fallible men are scruti nised by the examination of discussion. I have great pleasure in seconding the resolution, because it is in no degree of a political character, and that an histori cal record should be placed on our books as an ack nowledgment of the support this board has always received during its existence from the noble lord, and I trust that it will be agreed to unanimously. The motion was put and unanimously agreed to. Mr. TITE, M.P., then moved that this resolution should be advertised in the usual papers. The CHAIRMAN said that no doubt it would be the desire of the board to adjourn, but there were some matters that must necessarily be disposed of. Some routine matters were then gone through, and the board adjourned. The Lord Mayor Elect, (From the City Press.) Mr. Alderman Phillips comes to the civic throne with a considerable amount of experience acquired in the various offices which he has filledin connexion with the Corporation. Though still in the prime of life he has been a member of the Municipal Council nearly 20 years, his first appearance there dating as representative of the Ward of Farringdon Within. As he was born in 1811, he was, of course, at this time 36 years of age. The honour conferred on him by his neighbours was simply the just testi mony won by his life amongst them. As a member of the firm of Faudel, Phillips, and Sons (Newgate street), of which he is now the head, Mr. Phillips had proved himself to be possessed in no small degree of the somewhat rare faculty usually spoken of as com mon sense, great business tact and judgment, and unblemished reputation. Nor did his qualifications for public life terminate at this point, for unlike many men who meet with commercial success, he altogether declined to shut himself up to the mere routine of money-making, and showed that he was capable of taking an interest in matters affecting the welfare of others, and that he possessed not only the ability but the will to work. As a proof of the expectations of his friends, when he was yet an untried man, we may mention, in passing, that the continuance of the confidence reposed in him was evinced at the late general election, when his name was one of the very few mentioned in connection with the representation of the City. After serving in the Court of Common Council ten years, a vacancy occurred in the representation of his Ward in tho Conti, of ..U.doilueu, by the Emig nation of Mr. Alderman Eagleton, and Mr. Phillips had so far advanced in favour as to be chosen to fill the position thus left open. Two years later he was appointed to fill the office of Sheriff, his companion being Mr. Alderman Gabriel. He wore his h onours gracefully, and when the time came he resigned them with credit. Having thus w on an d kept the esteem of all, his assumption of a more prominent office than he has yet filled will be regarded with interest and satis faction by all. Being a member of the Jewish persuasion, and the first Jew admitted into the municipality of London, he will be the second Lord Mayor of that faith, the first being Mr. Alderman Salomons. He is most benevolent, and has more than once shown his practical sympathy with the various wants of his brethren as well as those of every other denomination, helping, on such occa sions, with purse and tongue, his speaking ability being of a very high order. In conclusion, we have only to add that he is a member of the Spectacle Makers' Company, and that he has expressed his determination fully to uphold the glories of the Mansion House. WIIAT THE PRESIDENT EXPECTS.—Judge Bird of Alabama haS lately visited Washington, and he writes a letter to the Mobile News, telling the people what the President expects of the reconstructing States, which is as follows :—"lst. Declare the African race free by the or ganic law bf each State. 2d. That each State will secure and guarantyby her constitution civil rights to the freed men ; political rights, such as suffrage, sitting on juries, Sze., aro not expected to be conferred on them at this time; these are matters to bo left to the discretion of the several States. But the freedom of the African race and the guaranty of their civil rights aro requisite to the recon.. struction of State governments and their readmission t o the Union." .__Tn Louisiana, Governor Wells has issued a pr o eltunation calling for the election of state officers and members of Congress on the first Monday in Ne.venibm: next.

Metropolitan Board of Works• The usual weekly meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday at the office in Spring-gardens ; Mr. Henry Lowman Taylor, in the absence of Sir John Thwaites, who was attend ing the funeral of Lord Palmerston, presided. There was a very thin attendance of members. THE LATE LORD PALMERSTON. Immediately on taking the chair, Mr. 11. L. TAYLOR, the chairman pro tem., said—l am sure but one feeling exists throughout this country, and which is shared by every member of this Board, and that is one .of regret at the loss the country has sustained in the death of Lord Palmerston. (hear, hear.) I am sure, therefore, that we shall simply do what is necessary on this occasion by passing a resolution expressive of deep sympathy at the loss which the country at large and this Board has 'sustained. (Hear, hear.) Mr. TITE, M.P., said—l have had no communica tion with our chairman, but I think it will be be coming on my part to say a word or two on the present occasion. I have had the honour of being a humble supporter of Lord Palmerston during the time I have been in Parliament, and I can speak with confidence as to the ability and carewhich he de voted to every part of the Government, and his great desire to promote any measure which should benefit the great mass of the people. It is not my desire, in any degree, to touch upon politics, as this is not the proper place to do so ; but we all felt that in his hands the honour of England was safe, and we can only express our regret that he has been so suddenly ta„.ken from us. It was only on the 2d of September that I had an interview with him, when he spoke to me with his usual kindness on his pro mised visit to-Brstpcsl, and afterwards to Bath, on the 'occasion of the opening of the Industrial Exhi bition at the former place. Owing to illness he was obliged to postpone his visit, and now we have to regret the loss of a kind, good, and generous man, who was also a very warm supporter of our Board. I therefore beg to move the following reso lution : "Resolved, that this Board feels called upon to record its sense of the great loss this country has sustained in the death of its Prime Minister, the Right Hon. Viscount Pal merston—a man who through the course of a long life de voted to the service of his country has always maintained the honour of great Britain, its prosperity, and its institu tions ; that during his administration the country has been successfully conducted through great difficulties, and the blessings of peace secured to the nation. That a copy of this resolution be communicated to Lady Palmerston, with the respectful assurance of the condolence of this Board, and their deep sympathy in the great loss she has sus tained." :j., h.-, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

(From Punch.) it is not often that we produce a mere article of news, without comment of our own, but we feel it the duty of every English journalist to give as much publicity as pos sible to the strange and disgraceful facts revealed in the following list of American contributions to the Fenian fund. The list itself was found among the papers upon the person of one of the Americans who was arrested in the Australian, on the 14th inst., and has been published among the evidence taken at the Castle. Only the gravest considerations would induce us to depart from the ordinary custom of this journal in regard to news, but in presence of the impending crisis the case is exceptional. Contributions received, or promised, in New York, Washington, and Boston, to the Fund in aid of the Irish Patriotic Feniaus Dollars. ... 8,937,20 G 1,000 1,000 1,000 500 500 500 8,000 100 1,000 50 1,000 3,000 500 1,000 40 500 20 50 100 2,000 40 Amount already credited Hon.

A statement was received by proxy from General Butler, who was expected to be present, giving a few peculiar views upon reconstruction. Ho favored the confiscation of all Southern lands travelled over by our armies, and colonising them with discharged soldiers. He anticipated that the first WI for help from the South would be from former slaveholders rather than freedmen, and intimated that in such a case Massachusetts - would be among the most active States in furnishing assistance.
