Naval and Military Intelligence. MALTA, Nov. 2.—The squadron, consisting of the Victoria, 102 (flagship of Lord C. Paget) ; the Prince Consort, 35, ironclad ; the Gibraltar, 81 ; the Royal Oak, 35, ironclad ; the Enterprise, 4, ironclad ; and the Cruiser, 5, sloop, returned into port yesterday, from their summer cruise. The Admiral had anchored off the Island of Favignano on the 27th tilt., and sent the Enterprise to Malta for letters, with which she returned to him on the 29th. These ships are all now moored in the Great Harbour of Valetta, and present a magnificent ap pearance. The Resistance, 16, ironclad, Capt. H. S. Hillyar, C.B. ; and the Cossack, 20, Capt. R. D. White,. are also in port. The discipline and order maintained on board the different ships are spoken of in terms of the highest praise, and reflect great credit on Lord Clarence Paget, who has managed at the same time; by due consideration for the just wants of the men and courtesy to his officers and all under him, to render himself most popular in the squadron. The Psyche, despatch vessel, which left Malta on the 22d ult. for Brindisi, anchored in that port on the 24th. Capt. Mends, together with Capt. Willoughby, R.N., and Col. Ross, arrived at Brindisi from England on the 26th, and embarked in the Psyche that day for Alexandria. It is probable Capt. Mends will call at Malta about the middle of this month on his return to England. The Wizard, 2, Lieut.-Com. P. J. Murray, was still at Canea by the last advices, Oct. 19. Up to that time no decisive action had taken place between the Greek insurgents and the Turkish troops. From the most trustworthy accounts, free from political or national bias, it appears that the Turks were unable to make any progress in suppressing the rising. Two encounters had recently occurred. In the one case, a party of Greeks, 200 strong, was cut off to a man, the Turks taking no prisoners. In the other, a Turkish detachment of 150 men, escorting ammuni tion, was defeated with the loss of all but eight,who effected their escape. The ammunition, together with the arms of the party, fell into the hands of the Candiotes, who are said to be in possession of six or eight rifled cannon. A grand engagement was ex pected to take place on the following (October 20), which, according to accounts from other sources, is reported to have ended in a victory for the insur gents. The United States screw frigate Ticonderoga, bearing the flag of Commodore Steedman, arrived on the 26th ult. from Alexandria and Tripoli, and left the following day for Tunis without receiving pratique. Thence she is to proceed to Gibraltar and the coast of Portugal, to join Admiral Golds borough's squadron. The whole squadron is expected to cruise in the Mediterranean, and is likely to visit Malta. Her Majesty's ship Resistance will leave to morrow for the Pii pa us, to be stationed there. The English steam yacht Ceres arrived this morning from Liverpool and Gibraltar. Her owner, Colonel Maclver, together with his family and suite, arrived the previous evening in the steamer Atlas, and will pass their quarantine on board the yacht. A tele graphic despatch was received here on 27th Oct. from Constantinople, stating that in consequence of the satisfactory condition of the public health in the ports of the Black Sea quarantinehad been removed on arrivals thence, when furnished with clean bills of health. Arrivals from England were admitted to free pratique at Constantinople, after being subjected to 24 hours' detention and examination in the Dar danelles. A notice has been issued during the week by the Malta Government directing that the quaran tine on arrivals from the Black Sea, Alexandria, England, and Scotland be reduced to ten full days from the date of arrival. Not very long ago a flagship was required for Channel service, and the Minotaur, the representa tive of our largest anduntried class of ironclads, was named for the duty, it being naturally considered that in the trials then contemplated, and which have since been made of our iron -dads, under steam and canvas, it was essential to a full knowledge of their capabilities that all classes should be represented. The Minotaur has all the necessary cabin and other accommodation as a flagship, no vessel could carry the flag of an Admiral more imposingly, and it was certainly desirable that something should be known of her capabilities. The Admiral, however, who wanted a flagship objected to the Minotaur. It was said she was too big, too fast, and altogether too much of an experiment to be trusted with the flag of an Admiral commanding a squadron. The internal fittings aft were also understood to be entirely ap proved. Whatever cite cause, the Micotaur was re jected for flagship duty, and another vessel selected whose class merits could be ascertained from other like vessels afloat and in commission. The ship that superseded the Minotaur was, however, an ironclad, so that, after all, the gallant Admiral flew his flag on board a true fighting ship, and no harm was done beyond keeping the Minotaur in the steam basin of Portsmouth dockyard to this date an untried ship. The course followed with the Minotaur is about to be copied, if we are rightly informed, on the change of the command o f h er Majesty's ships on the North American and West Indian willsta station, and in the pre sent instance an endeavour be made to carry it out in a still more objectionable manner. The pre sent "situation" may be understood by a brief ré sumé of facts bearing upon the preparation and selec tion of a ship to carry the flag of the successor to Vice-Admiral Sir James Hope in North American and West Indian waters. The armour-plated wood-built steam frigate Royal Alfred, 4,068 tons, SOO-horseies power, has been specially fitted for a flagship's duties, and it is no secret that the Controller of the Nav' , y l most anxious that she should be placed in commissi on on the first opportunity, and such opportunity was expected to offer itself on the relief of Sir James Hope. The Royal Alfred carries the thickest armour plating (6in.) of all the wood-built armoured vessels iu her Majesty's Navy, and will carry a heavier armament (12 ton 9 in. rifled guns) than any other vessel of her class afloat. Her accommodations for an Admiral and his suite, as also for her officers and crew, are all that can be desired. The ventilation of the ship is perfect ; her speed will be a good 12 she will possess good ave knots under full steam , rage sailing qualities, and her metal -coated bottom renders her peculiarly suited as an ironclad for cruis ing in tropical waters. In June last Capt. E. W. Tumour and Commander G. 0. Twiss were appointed to the Royal Alfred, on the books of the Victory, to superintend her outfit, and the carriages and slides for her guns are now being completed for her in the steam factory of Portsmouth dockyard. In fact, it may be considered that on Nov. 1 the Royal Alfred was so far advaiiced in her outfit that she was then ready for commission, and would be ready for seal with her new and formidable armament complete by the time Sir J. Hope's successor was ready to pro ceed to his command. But now comes the change, and the following of the precedent established with the Minotaur. Captain Tumour and Commander Twiss return to the half-pay list from the Royal Alfred on the 15th inst., the frigate will be placed on the inactive list of the reserves at Portsmouth, and the wooded unarmoured two-decker Duncan, flagship of Sir James Hope in the West Indies, is to returnwith Sir James to England, undergo a thorough repair and refit, and again return to the North A merica and West India station as the flag ship of Sir J. R. Mund y. No one, successor, Vice-Admiral Sir G. s not even a L or d o f th e Admi ralty, would be rash as to designate a w o o d en built line-of-b attle ship without armour as a fight ing warship. Still it appearsappears that such a vessel is about to be a abogain despatched England with an Admiral's flag at the American station abo ve a ll only expect to be laughed at for our antiquateders, ."'here we can no tions and extraordinary preference of Pomp and luxury to real efficiency. In these days of ironclads the Duncan is not a fighting ship, and therefore is not a fitting vessel for the fl agship of a British Admiral in foreign waters. She can only carry guns that are harmless in their fire upon the sides of an ironclad, while at the same time her own hull offers a huge target ready for burning by the first broadside 'of an enemy's shells. If the Duncan is refitted for the new Admiral's flag for the West India command, a return of the cost of her refit moved for in the House of Commons- may be condu cive to Admiralty economy and wisdom in the future. The - Admiralty official Nary List for the current quarter contains in its "List of the Steamships and Vessels of the Royal Navy" one vessel thus placed : —" 96. Captain, 6, iron screw turret-ship, armour plated, 4,272 tons, 900-horse power ; building by Messrs. Laird, Birkenhead." This, of course, is the vessel about which so much has been said as having been designed by the Messrs. Laird, under Captain Coles's superintendence and directions, and which is supposed to represent Capt. Coles's views on the subject of turret-ships. As Parliament at present stands prorogued, it is impossible to ask Sir John Pakington in his place in the House of Commons whether this vessel has any existence beyond the ap pearanze of her name and description on thp official navy list. It is reported that she has no existence beyond the list, and, although described there as " building by Messrs. Laird," that no steps have yet been taken for laying her down, nor is the contract for her construction yet signed. The contract for the extension of Portsmouth dock yard has been signed between the Admiralty and Mr. George Smith, of Pimlico, and during the past week the latter has been engaged at Portsmouth with Mr. W. Scamp, the designer of the extension works, and the Deputy-Director of Works to the Admiralty, in making the necessary arrangements for the im mediate commencement of the undertaking. Five years is the specified contract time for the com pletion of the works, but it is probable that they may shorten the time by at least one-fifth, and under such circumstances they would become entitled to a certain premium from the Ad miralty in addition to the fixed scale of prices under which the contract is taken. Messrs. G. Smith and Co. have been for some years engaged upon Admi ralty contracts at Portsmouth and other yards, and have constructed at the former the largest of the existing docks (the Warrior and the Minotaur docks), and buildings already existing in the yard. The new yard—for such it may fairly be called when completed, from its greater extent compared with the existing establishment—will add to the resources of Portsmouth harbour a " repairing" basin of 22 acres, or 1,350 feet long by 720 feet breadth, and 40 feet depth, with five large docks, rigging, and tidal basins, and entrance locks, and a ith all foun dries, fact ofies, workshops, &c., on a proportionate scale. - The Prussian screw frigate Gazelle, 28 guns, Capt. Henke, anchored at Spithead yesterday from Bre men, bound for the Mediterranean, and exchanged the customary salutes with the flagship of the Port Admiral and naval Commander-in-Chief and of the garrison. Capt. Henke landed at Portsmouth im mediately of ter the frigate's arrival at Spithead, and, accompanied by the Chevalier Yandenbergh, the Prussian Vice-Consul, paid an official visit to the Lords of the Naval and Military Departments. The Gazelle has put into Spithead with damage to her machinery. This will be repaired by the Engineer ing Staff of Portsmouth yard, after which the G zelle will resume her voyage to the Mediterranean. The War Department screw steamsloop Earl de Grey and Ripon, with war materials from the Thames, arrived at Plymouth on Sunday. It is reported at Plymouth that the armour-plated screw steamship Ocean, 24, Capt. C. S. S. Stan hope, will be supplied with stores and provisions for service in the Mediterranean, in order to relieve the iron armour-plated screw steamship Resistance, 18, Capt. H. S. Hillyar, C.B. The screw steam corvette Barossa, 21, Capt. H. Boys, which has left Japan for England, may be expected about the 20th of Febrary next. The remains of the late Major-Gen. Sir Charles Warren, K.C.8., Colonel of the 96th Regiment, were interred on Friday, Nov. 2, in the cathedral churchyard of Bangor, North Wales, special per mission having been obtained from the Secretary of State for the intramural burial. Sir Charles's ser vices extended over a period of 52 years, during the whole of which time. he was actively employed. He served under the Duke of Wellington/in 1815 ; commanded the 55th Regiment in an expedition against the Rajah of Coorg, in 1834 ; led a success ful assault on and captured the stockade of Kissen hally, and was severely wounded in an attack on the stockade of Soamwarpettah ; served in China from 1811 to 1844 (medal, brevet of Lieut. Col. and C. B.); commanded the 55th in the expedition up the Yang tae-kiang, and was severely wounded at the storm ing and capture of Chinkiaugfoo, " where he was personally engaged with three Tartars, whom he killed with his sword; served the Eastern campaign of 1854-55, commanded the regiment at the battle of the . Alma (where he received two contused wounds and was reported for his " brilliant gallan try ;") siege of Sebastopol, and repulse of the sortie on Oct. 26 ; commanded the Ist Brigade 2J Divi sion at the battle of Inkerman, and was severely wounded (despatch states he " had a finger shot off while leading his men with his usual conspicuous bravery;)" again slightly wounded on the head at the attack on the Redan on Sept. 8 (medal and clasps) ; officer of the Legion of Honour, Sardinian and Turkish medals, and third-class of the Medji die ; afterwards commanded the troops at Balak lava until the evacuation of the Crimea, and also a brigade at Malta until Oct., 1861. He wasselected for the colonelcy of the 96th Regiment, and was knighted by her Majesty at Windsor on May 17, 1861. Col. Edward Keane died on Fr th id w a i yl t as h t e , 2a3tdWor thing, at the age of 81. He serve: Re giment in the expedition to the north ofGer s man i y in 1805; and afterwards in Portugal under Gen. Sir John Moore, including the retreat and the battleof Corunna. He served in the Penin sula with the 7Hussars, and as Aide-de-Camp to Sir li. Vivian 1 16 m Nov. 1813, to the end of the war in 1814, including the battles :of the Nive, Orthes, and Toulouse. He served also in the cam paign of 1815 in the same capacity, and was present at the battle of Waterloo and the capture of Paris. He went on half-pay in March ; 1833. The late Col. Keane had received the silver war medal, with four clasps, for Corunna, Nive, Orthes, and Toulouse. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty : — Commander D. Boyle to be in specting commander of the Coast Guard at Galway; Lieut. E. B. Boyle, Lieut. F. G. Gambier, and Lieut. R. M. Sperling to the Racoon ; Lieut. P. Storr to the Irresistible, for serTice iu the Coast guard ; Lieut. H. A. Monteith to the Tamar ; E. Wise, master, to the Indus, for the Euphrates ; S. W. Browne, master, to the Tathar ; Dr. H. H. Smith, surgeon, additional to the Indus ; J. H. Ferguson, and A. King, first-class assistant-engi neers, to the Octavia ; G. E. M. Keep, first-class assistant-engineer, to the Irresistible ; W. F. Rowe, first-class assistant-engineer, to the Donegal, for tenders ; and B. J. Little, second-class assistant engineer, to the Octavia. The Paris correspondent of the Economist alludes to the report of a French commission charged to however,rt are particularly es ti m ate the value of imports and exports. Soin of the recommendationsofthisrep o in the largest sens e ; one, addresses itself to England. The commission ob serves that the wines of Roussillon and of the South pay higher import duties in England than the Bor deaux wines, which are tenfold more valuable ; the reason being that wines in England are taxed ac cording to alcoholic strength, and the Southern and Roussillon wines are strongly dosed with brandy to suit the English market. The Economist draws the moral that the alcoholic basis of taxation ought to be set aside. But though the result of this basis is undoubtedly to tax less valuable wines more highly than those of greater excellence, it does not follow that a purer taste would be encouraged among the English by a readjustment of the prin ciple. By taxing alcoholic wines more than pure wines we ought surely to enable pure wines to be sold more cheaply than brandied wines. No doubt those consumers who have no taste, and who judge things merely by their price, prefer those wines whichpay s than t the highest duty ; but others who have more means will not be loth to profit by this error. Robert 11. Newall is writing a novel in two volumes, to illustrate the various phases of American' life and manners. • We are happy to announce the successful debut in the ”Etoie des Beaux Arts" of a young American architect, Mr. Alfred Thorpe. This gentleman has de voted himself with great diligence to the adaptation of the French system of architectur e to. the United States, and will be prepared on his return to construct houses divided into apartments, and thus meet an immediate necessity of our large cities. The London " Times" and the " New York Tribune." The reputation of the English press is well founded. Intellect and culture, of no ordinary standard, have been for more than half a century elements of Eng lish journalism, which in no country are surpassed, while its energy in procuring news is not equalled in Europe. Of all the English papers the 7inzes is unquestionably the leader, and therefore the repre sentative of European journalism. HOW remarkably that journalism differs from the American would be an interesting comparison, involving a nice balance of advantage; but at present we merely desire to show, for the entertainment of the public, how far the value of even the London Times as a newspaper has been excelled by the Tribune. A newspaperis not a review nor a book—it is a compendium of news, and there is no question but that in this distinc tive characteristic the American press is unrivalled. Let us take up the Times of September 19, the latest number received in this city. Its pages are the same size as those of the Tribune, its columns the same length and width, the type about the same size. Exclusive of advertisements, the Times con tains 41 columns of reading matter, of considerable variety, and much of it well written. It furnishes less than a column of military and naval intelligence, five columns of reports of the markets, railway and mining shares, &c. ; to a zeview of Borchgrave's "History of Belgian Colonies in the Thirteenth Century" it devotes three columns, and to the trans actions of the Ethnological Society three more ; an essay on Food Fisheries in France, theatrical criti cism, a letter justifying the Jamaica atrocities, a complaint of mock auctions, occupy one column each. Three and a half columns are devoted to editorials, of wbich there are but three, upon Napo leon's Circular, the Act for Limiting Liability in Partnerships, and the Established Church in Ire land. It publishes foreign letters from three capi tals—Paris, Berlin, and Vienna—making in all four columns. The same number are used for its legal and police reports. An inquiry into election bribery cases exhausts three more columns- Of telegrams it prints less than a single column. This is consi derable reading for nine cents. The Tribune of nearly the same date published 42 columns of read ing matter. It gave the public, for four cents, three columns and a half of correspondence from Mexico, and letters from London, Paris, Milan, Moscow, Nijni-Novgorod, Berlin, Prague, and Pa nama, which in all amounted to 12 columns ; special Washington correspondence, official documents from the State Department, occupied two columns and a half ; commercial news two columns ; courts and police two ; political intelligence two ; litera ture one column ; local news three columns. Its editorials filled six columns, including six articles, beside a number of paragraphs. Its telegraphic dispatches required three columns, and this was an unusually limited space. Thus we find the Times has letters from but three foreign capitals, while the Tribune has letters from nine. The Times has three and a half columns of editorials, and but three articles ; the Tribune six columns, and treats six subjects. Then, in that which is the life of a newspaper—its telegraphic despatches—the Times is far below the Tribune. In this age the use of the telegraph is the great feature of a daily paper, and makes the radical difference between it and all other periodicals. In no other way can the world's news be promptly gathered in and redistri buted. Yet we find the Times' telegrams contained in one column, and printed in its largest type ; while most of the despatches in the three columns which the Tribune gives are in small, close letter, and in the Times' type would be expanded to six columns. Here is one radical difference - between the two . papers. Another feature which marks a great newspaper is its enterprise in obtaining news exclusively. The 2 inzes has but one special despatch, and that of but three lines from Berlin. The Tri bune publishes nearly three hundred lines of special telegrams. With Reuter's telegrams, which answer to the despatches of our Associated Press, the Times fills the remainder of its column, and they are dated from Berlin, Florence, Paris, Trieste, New York, Constantinople, Liverpool, Queenstown, Southamp ton, Bombay, Gibraltar, Kiel, and Pesth. It uses the Atlantic cable for but one brief despatch, and that merely referring to commercial matters. The Tribune has nearly as much telegraphic matter by the cable alone as the Times from all sources, and gave its readers despatches from Berlin, Paris, Lon don, Liverpool, Florence, Madrid, Trieste, and Hamburg, chiefly dated the day before, beside others from Washington, New London, St. Louis, Hartford, Cincinnati, Columbus, Chillicothe, Louis ville, Chicago, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Richmond, Philadelphia, Boston, San Francisco, Toronto, Port-au-Basque, and Leavenworth. From all parts of this country and all portions of the world news is published in the Tribune, while the limes does not even summarise the events in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dublin, and other cities of the British Isles. The readers of the Tribune will readily conclude from these facts, hastily collated as they are, that in point of news, at least, they are well served. Of other merits it is not our place to speak, but we shall not fail to give the reader the world's news at his breakfast, and in the Tribune, if not in the 7inzes, he may, while chipping his egg or buttering his toast—.

It has been said of Englishmen, that they do Christian acts, in an un-Christian man ner,—and this can be said, even more forcibly, of the State's action in colonial affairs. The nation should lay down and work on a fixed policy, so that the colonial governments could distinctly understand and recognise their posi tions. At present the Imperial Government half grant . and half dispute the Imperial lia bility to defend the foreign dependencies controlled by local legislatures. The vacillating and uncertain action of the QUEEN'S Ministers gives rise to much unnecesary trouble, and confusion. Each case as it arises, requiring imperial assistance, is discussed on its own merits, and not as a part of a clearly-defined policy. The required aid is only conceded after debates in Parliament and discus sions in the newspapers, which do more to alienate the colonies than acts of glaring injustice. Although no rule is laid down, the drift of the Government is towards a defined plan. 'The colonies may be con sidered as divided into two classes. Ist. The Crown dependencies, which are in truth Imperial stations held for Imperial purposes, and not colonies as we now /regard that word.. Gibraltar, Malta, Aden, Hong Kong, and St. Helena are military and naval links—keys of certain positions—giving facilities to trade in time of peace, and to naval and military operations in times of war. No question can arise regarding the defence of these strongholds. But the case is different with the second class. The possessions to which national emigration is directed, and which from geographical position or from in ternal causes, are either brought into contact with Powers that at any time may be at war • with the empire, or may contain within themselves hos tile races, are Canada, South Africa, and New Zealand. The case of New Zealand furnishes a striking example of the want of a well-defined Imperial policy. In the Northern Island is a race of savages, whose keen intellects, courageous natures, and strong physical frames, aid e d b y t h e most im practicable country, render them dangerous foes to the settlers.. For years a desultory war has been progressing in that portion of the colony. Wh en the contest first commenced, the action of England Was both ill-advised and inconsistent. She had reserved to herself, through her own officials, the entire management of native questions. Every means to conciliate the Maories and avert the war, under their guidance, only ended in burnt home steads, slaughtered cattle, murdered settlers, and abandoned stations. New Zealand cried aloud for aid in the emergency brought about by Imperial officers. The Imperial Parliament and the press answered by charging the settlers with causing this state of affairs for the direct object of plundering the Treasury through a military expenditure. After wounding the feelings of the colonists in the most ' sensitive place, and generating throughout New Zealand much annoyance, the assistance was given, and a large British force, at an enormous expenditure, directed to the colony. The cue from the debates and the newspaper leaders was taken up by the Imperial commanders, and the value of the force when on the scene of operations neutralised.' The stricken and suffering colony had first to bear the vituperation of the most powerful organs of opinion in England, and then to endure the arrogance and assumption of the Imperial officers in the command of a force which was soon found to be practically ill-adapted for the work required. The war lingered, pro ducing scenes of disaster and mutual recrimina tion. It wore out to an end, leaving in the minds of the colonists the fixed idea that they who would continue free must themselves strike the blow. The manner in which England conceded the assistance implored was to the last degrQe ungracious, and thus she procured for herself no thanks from the colonists, at the same time that she expended an enormous sum. The dispute between the colony and the mother country has come to an end by the withdrawal of nearly all the troops, and the prac tical independence of the province, probably the richest in:the world. In Canada, the same " little game" is being played. The difference between the Canadian and the New Zealand affair is that the former is purely imperial, the latter was purely a colonial concern. Canada is threatened along all her frontier, because she is a province of the QUEEN'S dominions. The arguments, therefore, which so disgusted New Zealand cannot be brought to bear against Canada. Still every means seems to be employed to alienate the loyalty of the North Ame rican Provinces. An article appe are d i n a m ilit ary c o ntemporary which has been circulated far and wide throughout these dependencies, and has given rise to a feeling of the greatest indignation. If England does not intend to act loyally towards the province threatened by a body of filibusters, whose undying enmity is directed against herself, the weight of which Canada has to bear solely from her proximity to the abode of those conspirators, the nation should openly avow it, and leave the inhabitants of the province to take such measures for the protection of their own interests as may seem to them best. There is not the slightest necessity for traducing the brave and devoted men who have throughout been distinguished by a strong attach ment to the mother country. It would be better for Canada to become at once independent, or to be enrolled among the States of the Union, than to hang on in this precarious and uncertain position. To be—or not to be—is the question. If the province is to be an integral portion of the British Empire, the whole weight of the British power should be put forth in defence of the frontiers. If not to be—the few troops should be withdrawn, and the paltry expenditure on fortifications should cease. Then the colony, acting under the guidance of her own statesmen, influenced by public feeling, would take the measures which to her seem best adapted to meet the emergency. As the matter now stands the enemies of law and order are en couraged in their attacks, and the provincials dis couraged in their defensive measures by the un certainty of the course to be taken by the empire. It is thus that nations drift into war, and many cases could be recited where great calamities would have been averted by firm and decided action.— Anglo-American ,Times. THE FUNERAL OF MIL SNIDER. JACOB SNIDER, jun., the American inventor, died in London on Thursday, October 24th, 1866. The - circumstances attending his career as a patentee of an important invention are elsewhere detailed. They have elicited several editorial and other articles in the columns of the London Times and other in fluential journals. His funeral took place on Wed nesday last, at the Mensal-green Cemetery. It was at one time intended to have it occur in accordance with American custom—with a procession on foot, walking from the house of the deceased to his grave. But, iu consequence of the brevity of the notice, this was abandoned, and the usual English custom of a few mourning carriages was observed. A number of American friends attended at the ceme tery, and others came with the funeral cortege. Among these we noticed Mr. CLAIn of Phila delphia, Mr. GERALD RALSTON, Rev. C. W. DENISON, Mr. E. CURTIS, Mr. TATUM; Mr. J. &e., who were a C c i e t o e i r n ,E; a ', nie A d lr. by Ci k tA il D n u t ouRNE, & C ., English acquaintances, the physician of the deceased, also Mr. LEONE GLUK MAN, Mr. F. F. LIDDALL, and others whose names we were unable to obtain. The services were conducted by the Rev. Air. STEWART, in a most appropriate manner. He was followed by the Rev. C. w. D ENISON, . w h o de livered an address, which we have been requested by the friends of Mr. SNIDER to insert in our columns. ADDRESS OF THE REV. C. W. DEIs'ISON.. My Countrymen and Friends, We are assembled on an occasion of no ordinary interest. In accordance with a custom prevalent in some parts of America, I return you the thanks of the mourners here present for your kind assistance in burying their dead. You have performed for them a neighbourly act, and which they will always remember. One of the wishes of pil g rims and strangers, as th ey mee t eac h other on the sands of the East, is this—" May you die among your kindred !" It seems to them, in those far-off deserts, as if they could offer no kindlier wish. But when such a death as this is denied us—when the voices of strangers are heard around our dying pillows, and the hands of stran gers close our eyes for the last time—it is soothing to the departing spirit to know that we shall have a Christian burial. Our countryman, whose mortal remains lie in this open grave before us, died among strangers, in a strange land ; but it is a consolation to be able to state that he was the recipient of many acts of Christian kindness in his dying moments, and we ourselves are witnesses that he has received becoming Christian rites as he is lowered to his last sepulchre. His afflicted family across the broad Atlantic may well be comforted with the assurance that his end was peace, and that his countrymen in London assembled at his grave, in company with sympathis ing friends of other nations, to mingle their tears together in this consecrated spot, and offer their united tributes of respect to his memory. Those who knew him best all testify to the geniality of his character, to his patience in the prosecution of his plans, to his child-like simplicity in his personal in tercourse, and to the cheerful resignation with which he endured the trials peculiar to his position. His death was sudden and unexpected. Though weighed down with a heavy burden of mental sor row, a victim of neglect and cruel disappointment at the hands of those on whom he had conferred a benefit, a sufferer from that worst of all diseases, the hope deferred that maketh the heart sick ; he was still courageous, still laborious, still plan ning inventions for a future he was destined never to see. Only a few hours before his death he informed a friend at his bedside that he had a new secret with regard to a great principle of national defence, more important than any he had yet.discovered. " T will tell you the secret to morrow," said he, " when: you call to see me." That morrow came, and that friend came with it to that bedside again ; but the man who laid upon it was dead. His secret was dead with him ; and, to-day, we consign it, as we consign him, to the darkness and silence of the grave. Let us look down on the coffin that covers him. All.motionless now is the once active brain so lately fruitful of inventions. All throbless now is the generous heart that felt so much and so truly for mankind. All nerveless 'now is the hand that wielded with such consummate skill the most delicate implements of mechanical science. Look down upon him. Here lies the man, cold and stark in death, whose inventive genius is at this moment moving thou sands of machines, and tens of thousands of living men, to complete and furnish a weapon of defence for the honour and happiness, the prosperity and liberty of the peopl e o f England. He who lies so low in the groun d at our feet was the constructor of that d e li ca t e spr i ng which g i ve s not only em multitudes, but that will secure em ployment to b usy the triumph an t march of armies, as th e y v i n di ca t e the cause of constitutionalovernment, arid equal rights, and educated freedom, c throughout the civi lised world. Of such a man, thus dying, thus buried, at a time when the war of opinion is being waged as it never was before, we may well quote, in an English burial -ground, the words of one of Eng land's most gifted poets:— How sleep the brave, who sink to rest With all th e i r count wishes blest ! When Sprin g , with dewy fingers cold, Shall oft frequent their hallowed mould, She there shall press a fairer sod Than Fancy's foot hath ever trod. By lips unheard their dirge is sung, By hands unseen their knell is rung; There Honour come; a pilgrim grey, To kiss the turf that wraps their clay ; And Freedom shall awhile repair, To dwell, a weeping hermit, there." - As I stood on the steps of yonder chapel, partici pating in the services of this occasion, I heard a visitor whisper to a sexton an inquiry for the monu ment of a distinguished nobleman, buried in the beautiful cemetery of Kensal-green. As I stand here now and look into this humble grave, I think of the future time when, especially during the com ing year, thousands of Americans shall visit Europe, and that many of them, who are votaries of science, will hie them to this spot. Methinks their first inquiry will be of the attendants at the gate, "Show us the grave of JACOB SNIDER !" Here they will love to stand and gaze on the simple record that patriotism shall raise to his memory. Some who were his companions in America may tearfully say in the sweet words of one of America's own bards— " Green be the turf above thee, Friend of our early days; None knew thee but to love thee, None named thee but to praise." Here, then, we leave him in this city of the dead. He has done his work, and done it well. Ashes " to ashes ; dust to dust ; the body returns to the " earth, as it was, and the spirit returns unto GOD " who gave it." The Loss of the Evening Star. The steamship Evening Star left New York for New Orleans on the 27th September. Besides a crew of over 60 persons she had on board more than 200 passengers, 132 of whom were women. These passengers were divided into three classes, each occupying a separate part of the ship. The after cabins and a pirtion of those on the main deck were allotted to the ordinary passengers. The main deck was occupied by an Opera troupe just arrived from Paris, and transferred from the Havre steamer without landing in New York ; a negro minstrel company shared with them this accommo dation. The forward cabins were appropriated by 93 courtesans on their way south from New York and various parts of Europe. The vessel was valued at $400,000, no portion being insured. The Even ing Star was a crank ship, too lightly built for ocean voyages, constructed for speed rather than for safety, and fitted with poor and insufficient machinery. On a previous voyage she narrowly escaped the fate now befallen her, and the facts were published by the passengers she then carried. Competent mechanics declared the machinery to be defective, the lifeboats deficient in number and in construction, the vessel -overloaded, no surgeon on board, and other facts detailed, showing a dis regard not only for the comfort, but even for the safety, of the passengers. So strong was the im pression made by that passage that a gentleman, writing to the New York Times, declared he could not trust himself in her on the return voyage, but came home in an opposition boat. Her passage was fine till off Hattaras Light, when, on the afternoon of the Ist October, a beeeze set in which drove the light vessel along, the steam being aided by canvass. As night darkened the breeze grew into a gale, and the morning of the 2d dawned on a wild sea and a strong and increasing tempest. By the afternoon a furious hurricane was blowing, the engines were practically useless, and the vessel labouring in the trough of the huge Atlantic billows. At 4 o'clock she was struck by a wave which swept away the hurricane deck, with two of the crew and some of the passengers. At 6 a green sea fell on board and tore away the wheel-house, snapped the rudder chains, stove in the bulwarks, and loosened every joint in the weak and trembling vessel. The hatches were damaged, and every succeeding wave threw volumes of water into the engine-room. The Even ing Star now became a fac-simile of the London. The fires were extinguished, the engines useless, the water gaining fast, and already inundating the floors of the upper cabins. All through that dreadful night the passengers laboured incessantly to save the sinking ship, the women setting an example of courage and devotion. Buckets, baling the water out, were passed from hand to hand, the cargo got up and thrown overboard, but these efforts were soon seen to be futile, and no sophistry could disguise the terrible doom now quickly approaching. The scene on board the London was re-enacted in even greater horrors. At 5 o'clock the captain went into the main cabin, where the majority of the passengers had assembled, and notified that the ship could riot live more than an hour. All class distinctions had long been broken down. Although the majority, especially of the women, displayed calmness and courage in the trying emergency, others gave way to the wildest despair. Wardrobes were ransacked by many of the unfortunates, who were quickly arrayed in extravagant costumes, and loaded with trinkets and jewels. The floors of the cabins were strewn with costly silks and furs, and rings and watches lay scattered about, with specie and paper money in wild .disorder. Some sought to pray, while some cursed ; some cried, some laughed, some shouted. Foreigners wildly gesticulated, and fren zied exclamations were raised in German, French, and Italian. A few of the most desperate of both sexes broke into the bar-rooms, seized the liquors, and conveying them into the state-rooms, enacted the most horrible orgies. But fate was rapidly settling on the doomed ship. The lifeboats, six in number, lay on their ways, as it was impossible to lower them, and were crowded with the passengers and crew. Tremendous seas swept over the vessel, while after each she showed less buoyancy and in clination to rise. At a quarter-past 6 the ship gave a lurch to one side, then au equally violent lurch to the other, and instantly sank. Every boat capsized in the tremendous whirl. Four of them succeeded in getting away from the wreck, the last not until ten hours after the catastrophe. One of these boats contained the pUrser, chief, engineer, 3 passengers, and 6 sea men. A second contained the third mate, the steerage steward, three seamen, and three passen gers. A third boat contained the pilot, assistant engineer, four passengers, the cook, the butcher, and one fireman. A fourth boat contained the second mate, and 13 of the female passengers. If the other boats succeeded in leaving the ship they probably perished, as nothing has been heard con cerning their fate. The first boat was picked up by the Norwegian barque Fleetwing ; one passen ger had died from exposure. The second boat arrived at Fernandina, Florida, on the morning of the 7th ; two of the passengers had died ; the bodies still remained in the boat, the survivors being too weak to throw them overboard. The third boat was picked up on the Bth by the schooner Morning Star ; four of her passengers had died. The fourth boat reached Maryport Mills,, Florida, on the 11th ; this boat originally contained the second mate and 13 women ; 11 of the women had died, the other two were lost in landing —one of them being snapped up by a shark. Thus, out of a total (passengers and crew) of 278 persons, only 24 were saved. The sufferings en dured by the survivors are almost too horrible for description. The weather was cold, and the water had become thoroughly chilled, yet the life-boats were constantly capsizing. One of them capsized 15 times. Many of the rescued passengers became insane from hunger and thirst, for the provisions placed in the lifeboats were all washed out, and, through some blunder, the beakers had been filled (probably by an ignorant passenger) with salt water. Some of the passengers drank sea water, and lost their reason in consequence ; and the seamen were compelled to threaten that any person who drank sea water should be thrown overboard before the terrible evil could be checked. The occupants of one of the boats were without•food for more than 70 hours ; and the more fortunate had nothing to cat for 50 hours. The gale continued during two days. The scanty clothing of the survivors was washed away by the sea or torn to shreds in the struggles that ensued upon every upsetting of the boats. The two women who were picked up by the Morning Star were in a state of complete nudity when rescued, arid several of the passengers in the other boats were in the same condition. It would be difficult to conceive anything more terrible than the condition of these unfortunate people—without food, without water, many without clothing, the attention of the minority divided between the duties of looking out for vessels, righting the boats when they capsized, and guarding the insane. Thus perished the ill fated Evening Star, bringing home to America the identical lesson taught us by the equally disastrous loss of the London. Both vessels were ill-constructed for ocean voyages—both were over-loaded, and both sank in a sea way in which open boats had lived. The loss of the London excited in England the liveliest commiseration, for she sank but a short distance from our shores, and the storm which had caused the catastrophe had howled over our own homes, and laid waste our own coasts. But more clearly than in the case of the London is the foundering of the Evening Star to be traced to the sacrifices offered to the almighty dollar. There are few coasts which more demand well-built and well fitted traders than the sea-board of the United States. Gales of fearful violence and of prolonged duration blow furiously on these shores, tumbling in on them the unbroken roll of an ocean. Seldom, indeed, has a greater hecatomb of victims been more ruthlessly sacrificed, and we trust that a close and rigid inquiry will be made into the circumstances, and such a horrible catastrophe be prevented for the future, so far as human means can avail to con trol the violence of nature. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—A suit of considerable interest in its bearing on the question of the Colonial Episcopate was yesterday decided by the Master of the Rolls in favour of Bishop Colenso. The proceeding arose out of the judgment of the Privy Council on the "Colenso Case in March, 1865"—a judgment of which the effect was to disturb almost all received opinions as to the constitutional position of the Colonial Church. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council did not, indeed, negative the right of Bishop Colenso to assume the episcopal character, or that of Bishop Gray to call himself Metropolitan of the South African Church, whatever spiritual authority such titles may import ; but they denied that any coercive jurisdiction could be exercised by either, inasmuch as the patents which purported to confer that jurisdiction were null and void in law. They declared that " there was no power in the Crown, by virtue of its prerogative, to establish a metropolitan see or province, or to create an eccle siastical corporation whose status, rights, and authority the colony should be bound to recognise." " It may be true that the Crown, as legal head of the Church, has a right to command the consecra tion of a bishop, but it has no power to assign him any diocese, or give him any sphere of action," either within the United Kingdom or within any colony which has received legislative institutions, unless by special provisions of an Act of Parliament. Upon the delivery of this judgment Bishop Colenso applied to the trustees of the " Colonial Bishoprics' Fund" for the arrears of the income annually payable out of . that fund to the bishopric of Natal, which had been withheld and carried to a separate account since his illegal deposition in the previous year. The trustees, however, among whom are the Archbishop of Canterbury, Mr. Gladstone, Vice-Chancellor Page Wood, and Mr. Hubbard, took a different view of their duty. They contended that, inasmuch 'as Bishop Colenso was not a suffragan bishop within the Province of Cape Town, he was not a bishop at all in the sense contemplated by the original promo ters of the fund, and could receive no benefit from it. They did not, so far as we arc aware, draw the corresponding inference that Bishop Gray, having no such metropolitan jurisdiction as was contem plated in the endowment of his See, was also disen titled to his salary ; still less did they apply the same principle, by parity of reasoning, to other colonial diocesans. Bishop Colenso, therefore, sought redress from the Court of Chancery, and Lord Romilly has allowed his claim, condemning the de fendants in the general costs of the suit. The grounds of this important decision, though somewhat complicated in their nature, are happily removed almost equally from the province of technical law and of technical theology. It would have been pos sible to raise issues of the latterkind had the trustees , thought proper to rely on Bishop Colenso's alleged heresy ; but no such defence was pleaded, and the matter really turned upon two points—the inten tions of those who subscribed to the Colonial Bishoprics' Fund, and the legal consequences of the Privy Council judgment. Now, as the greater part of the endowment for the See of Natal was provided by Miss Burdett Coutts, the simplest plan would obviously have been to remove all doubts by a refer ence to that lady. The law, however, does not allow legal acts to be modified or reversed by sub sequent verbal explanations, and, although a letter from Miss Coutts was read by the Court, it was not received as a conclusive piece of evidence. Miss ,Coutts has, perhaps, more reason than any other person to complain of the blunders which have defeated in some degree the objects of her munificence, and she plainly states that she would not have guaranteed the funds had she not believed that a bishopric, in the full Church of England sense, and with " effec tive jurisdiction," could he established in the colony of Natal. Of course, she had still less idea of help ing to found a Church of South Africa repu diating the supremacy of the Crown, and claiming an ecclesiastical jurisdiction from which there would be no appeal. Stijl, as Lord Romilly observed, iynoratio juris neminent excusat, and parties must be presumed to act subject to the existing provisions of the law. " Effective jurisdiction," if by that term be meant a jurisdiction like that conferred by acts of Parliament on English bishops, cannot be exer cised under letters patent in any colony where there is an independent Legislature, and where there is no Established Church. On the other hand, Lord Romilly seems to hold that " effective jurisdiction" —founded, we presume, on contract—may be exer cised by the Bishop of Natal through the agency of the civil tribunals, so that Miss Coutts's intentions cannot be said to have been altogether frustrated by the judgment of the Privy Council. According to the doctrine laid down by him, the letters patent, though void for the purpose of giving coercive juris diction, are valid for two other distinct purposes. They enabled Bishop ColenSo, after his own conse cration by the archbishop, to confer ordination, to consecrate churches, and to hold confirmations, even beyond the limits of his own diocese, since these:are powers universally belonging to a bishop as such. But they also made him " a territorial bishop within the diocese of Natal," with the right of appointing officers, and of collating persons to benefices, though without that of enforcing obedience without recourse to the secular courts. This last prerogative, valuable as it may be, is not essential to episcopacy, and the Master of the Rolls declines to unsettle the whole organisation of the Colonial Church by pronouncing Dr. Colenso to be no bishop of Natal, because he does not possess it. Whether or not Lord Romilly's exposition of the law be confirmed on appeal, it is much to be regretted that such a course should have been adopted, doubtless frcm the most conscientious motives, by the eminent trustees of the fund. It was an ill-advised measure to refuse Bishop Colenso his salary upon his so-called deprivation by a so called Synod, owning no allegiance to any recog nised power in Church or State. It was still more questionable, when the illegality of the sentence had been affirmed by th e C ourt o f Fi na l A p p ea l, t o change the ground of the refusal, and to allege rea sons which, if good at all, were equally good against Bishop Gray. It is inevitable that his success in resisting a blockade of this kind should be hailed as a triumph by his friends, while a different result would probably have failed to dislodge him from his see. At the same time, it is highly desirable that a basis should be laid by judicial interpretation of the existing laws for a legislative settlement of the ano malous relation between the British Crown, the Church of England, and the Episcopal Churches of the Colonies. The bill introduced last session by Mr. Cardwell purported to be little more than an embodiment of principles already sanctioned by the Privy Council ; but it was received by one party in the Church with a degree of favour which naturally aroused the suspicions of the other. It would per haps have been well had no attempt been made by the Legislature to extend the Anglican system of the mother country to the colonies. The Church of England is essentially an English institution.; it is the product of historical conditions which never existed in any other nation, and are never likely to be repeated in any future age. Nor is it possible to watch its adaptation to modern colonial society without a certain sense of its incongruity. If we could begin again with the advantage of past expe rience, few statesmen and few Churchmen would fall into the errors which have almost brought about a dead-lock in the ecclesiastical government of South Africa. As it is, we must retrace our false steps as best we may. If the laity as well as the clergy of Episcopal Churches in our colonies desire complete independence, let it be conceded freely; but let us not give the sanction of a Royal Patent and of a solemn consecration by the Primate of All England to Bishops over whom no control can be exercised either by our Civil or by our Spiritual Courts. HERALD.—Mr. Bright has drawn down upon himself a severe rebuke and damaging exposure from Mr. Pope Hennessy, which will be all the more effective from the courteous tone and temperate lan guage in which it is administered. In the course of one of his Irish speeches, in which he endeavoured to lay all the grievances and misfortunes of Ireland to the charge of the Conservatives, the agitator re ferred to Mr. Henessey as a gentleman who had always acted with the party which supports the wrongs of Ireland. We have often had occasionito differ with Mr. Hennessy on Irish questions ; and the better on that account should we know how utterly unfounded and unprovoked is Mr. Bright's wanton attack upon his political course. Mr. Hew nessy has been from first to last the untiring, bide fatigable advocate of what he conceives to be the rights and interests of his country, and particularly of her tenant-farmers. He has risked' his position and popularity in the House of Commons by the urgency with which, in season and out of season, he has pressed the importance of Irish questions upon the Imperial Legislature, and wearied it with ar, peals on behalf of tenant-right, w ith deicriptions Irish distress, and demands for votes of money for public works in the sister island. It is no sligh t proof of presumption on Mr. Bright's part, no n ie" significant symptom of the real motives which inn e ; euce his sudden affectation of sy m pathy with Iri sh troubles, that he should have made before an Iri sh • audience this groundless and reckless onslaught on a man who has laboured incessantly in the caus e which he has only taken up at the last moment to serve ends of his own in which Ireland has little or no concern. Mr. Hennessy's reply affords a CO? plete vindication of himself, and retorts with telling severity on his assailant. The O'Donoghue presid ed at Mr. Bright's meeting ; and Mr. Hennessy quot e . s a brief note from The. O'Donoghue expressing h i ! hope that Mr. Hennessy may again be returned to Parliament, where he has always acted as a tr e ?, friend of Ireland should act. Mr. Hennessy recites the history of his repeated efforts to compel a sett le " went of the tenant-right question ; and he a sks where, on each occasion, was Mr. Bright. Nowher e ' - He never spoke, he never voted, in favour of th e object which has suddenly become so dear to hi" He always avoided the house when it was to be dis - , cussed. He never troubled himself to master the f facts, or lend his powerful voice to the supPor, o „ the one principle in which, rightly or wrongly, liu" mass of the Irish people take a keen and eager in terest. He can flatter and coax the Irish ; can de ceive them by ascribing all their misfortunes to ul7, and malevolent legislation ; can abuse the landlo rds who have done more in one year for her welfare than he in all his lifetime; can insult and strive t ° discredit her most faithful representatives, because._ they do not lend their aid to his selfish aims or a ct with the faction of which he is the chief ; but h: cannot take the trouble to do one stroke of real NW': for her benefit. Whenever a special Irish interest has been advocated in the House of Commons Ml' Bright has either voted with the opponents of Ww Irish members, or has more frequently stayed aw,l 3 to avoid compromising his chance of conciliating support of Irish ignorant; and prejudice; his fei, lowers have invariably voted against every attemp t which has been made to obtain relief for Irish di. e i tress or the expenditure of money on Imp works in Ireland. He and his followers gave the; most eager adhesion to the financial nolicy Nvs le „f cheapened the luxuries of the rich at the expense taxes levied on the luxuries of the poor ; which I. `" duced by three-fourths the duty on French wi nes, and doubled the duty on Irish' whisky, and thus shutting up, as Mr. Hennessy affirms, h a lf the di s ; tillers in the country. This is the story of 11l r man who takes upon him to point out as a trait° to Irish interests their most earnest, able, lo de ; fatigable advocate ; it is by one who has been to e idle to give an hour of real thought or effort for to; benefit of Ireland that Irishmen are to be schooled: in the choice of their representatives, and leeturr. on the imprudence of trusting a Conservative Iris h " man.
