ONIII MARKET AND COZtIMERCUIL INTELLIGENCE, LV TEE O'. The Money M ar k e t i s easier t W o-day, and to CLOCK the present time not one of the numerous and heavy bills which matured yesterday has been returned. This circumstance speaks volumes for the caution and prudence evinced by the commercial classes, especially as the Indian and China business has lately been embarrassed by the panic at Bombay and the large failures that have been reported there in the produce markets. To-day the inquiry for ac commodation is light, and the rates of the brokers show a renewed tendency to easiness, and first class bills are readily taken at 3i per cent. The reconstructioa of the board of the West Lon don Wharves and Warehouses Company has been e ffected, and the new directors state that the land in Possession of the company and the powers con ferred by the act of Parliament will, in their opi nion, prove to be of considerable value as reported by the company's surveyor. It has been arranged that all questions between the International Con tract Company and this company shall be settled by arbitration. The Stock Exchange will be closed to-morrow, Ist November, as usual, because the transfer offices of the Bank o f E ng l an d w ill b e s h ut to ena bl e th e officials to adjust the half-yearly balances of the establishment. The following communication has also been issued to the press : London, 30th Oct., 1866. Sir,---1 beg to inform you that the Mining Exchange Will be closed to-morrow, the let of November. I am, Sir, yours obediently, W. C. JOHNSON, Secretary. There are no arrivals of specie to-day, but several vessels are expected. Bar gold amounting to £BO,OOO was taken to the Bank yesterday, and there was a withdrawal of 10,000 sovereigns for shipment to Alexandria. The revenue accounts of the Punjaub Railway for the half-year ending 30th June, 1866, show that the net profits realised during the half-year amounted to £19,959, against £15,477 for the pre vious six months, being an increase of nearly 30 per cent. The working expenses are 62.17 per cent. of the total receipts. The progress of the traffic on this line affords a very, fair idea of the gradually increasing popularity of railway accommodation ; and if the receipts continue to increase in the same ration as hitherto, the net profits must in the course of a few years yield a dividend in excess of the guarantee of 5 per cent. In order to accomplish this, however, the Punjaub Railway must not be allowed to remain a mere section without a proper terminus at the sea board, and without those branches which would connect it with the great marts and sources of produce in the province. At the general meeting to-day of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company the report presented was adopted. The dividend is £3 per share out of the or dinaryprofits, and a bonus of £2 per Aare from the insurance fund, free of income tax, payable by warrants, to be issued on this occasion (as an ex 2eptional case) on the evening of the general meeting. former reports the directors have alluded to the ser vice which th e P anama an d N ew Z ea l an d R oya l , Ma il Company (Li m i te d) i nten d e d to esta bli s h _betvieen Pan ama, N ew Zealand, and Australia.

The preliminary steps in the marriage of the Princess Dagmar of Denmark to the Czarewitch of Russia have been celebrated with great pomp and ceremony at St. Petersburg. On the 24th inst. (or, according to Russian reckoning, on the 12th) the princess was formally received as a member of the Greek communion in the chapel of the Winter Palace. The company formed a brilliant gathering, the ladies arrayed in the national court costume, with the kakoschnik and long train, while the men wore military uniforms of great variety and splen dour. Shortly after ten o'clock the imperial family appeared at the entrance to the chapel, and all eyes were fixed on the heroine of the day, whom the Emperor led by the hand and presented to the Metropolitan. The Princess Dagmar was simply dressed in a white robe trimmed with swansdown, and a long train. She had no veil or ornament upon her head, and not a single jewel glittered on her person. The Metropolitan, surrounded by his bishops, then went through the ritual of confirma tion, asking the prescribed questions as to the creed, which the princess answered in a clear, dis tinct voice, showing a mastery of Russian pronun ciation which charmed the audience. Having been duly anointed, the princess was conducted by the empress to the altar, where she kissed the sacred images and partook of the communion. It was noon when the mass was over and the imperial family received the congratulations of the chief. clergy. The priest to whom had been confided the spiritual instruction of the princess was the object of especial attention on the part of the Empress. On the following day, towards noon, the chapel was again filled with a distinguished company. The diplomatic circle, which had not been invited to the former ceremony, was now present. The Em peror, with the other members of the imperial family, arrived at half-past twelve. The Empress took her usual seat near the sacred gateway, where the Emperor rejoined her,, after having con ducted the Czarewitch and the Princess Dagmar to the centre of the chapel. The ceremony of betrothal was then performed, the young couple standing in front of a desk upon which were laid the Holy Gospel and crucifix. The bethrothal rings having been taken from the golden salvers on the altar, were handed by the Court confessor and the reli gious instructor of the imperial family to the Metro politan, who, after a prayer, placed them on the fingers of the Czarewitch and Princess. Next the Empress, advancing to the centre of the chapel, exchanged the rings. Amid repeated salvos of artillery the Emperor and Empress, toge ther with the bethrothed pair, received the felicitations of the company, and a grand Te Deum was chanted by the priests. At two o'clock the imperial family returned to their own apartments, and the religious part of the day's pro ceedings terminated. The rest of the day was spent in festivity. At half-past four o'clock in the afternoon a mag nificent dinner was served in the hall of Nicholas in the palace. The Czarewitch and his bride sat in the centre of a raised table at one end of the room, with the Emperor on one side and the Empress on the other. The grand duke and grand duchesses, with other members of the imperial family, dined at the same table. The rest of the guests were seated at six long tables, which were placed at right angles to the dais. At the banquet, as well as in the other ceremonies, the Danish Minister and the other representatives of that Court were of co se treated with especial distinction. loasts were drunk to-their Imperial Majesties, to the Czare witch and his fiancee, to the imperial family, to the King and Queen of Denmark, and to the clergy and all the faithful subjects of the Emperor. The announcement of each toast was greeted with a loud flourish of trumpets, quickly echoed by a stunning discharge of artillery. Fifty-one guns were fired in honour of the Emperor and Empress and 31 guns for each of the other toasts. Various overtures were played and selections from Russian and Italian operas sung during the dinner. A reception by the Czarewitch and the Princess Dagmar followed, and the day's festivities were wound up by a ball. The dancing consisted of only a single polonaise several times renewed, in which all the members of the imperial family joined, and was concluded by ten o'clock. The Princess Dagmar wore a handsome national costume, in which delicate rosepink and white were harmoniously mingled. A long veil with silver threads descending from her hair floated around her, and garlands of dainty little roses were draped round the petticoat and train.

The latter were remanded till Friday next, and after giving some evidence to connect this prisoner with them, he asked that he also should be remanded till the 127 7 I saute day. Sergeant Webb said that ho had charge of this case, and had apprehended the other prisoners who were implicated in this transaction. ' 100 reward had been offered for the arrest of Berwick, and from information he received he went to a house in the neighbourhood of Victoria-park, whore ho found him. He was accompanied by Sergeant Hamilton Ho gave the name of Dupre (a party with whom the pri soner was acquainted) and was admitted, the prisoner not at first discovering that he was another person. Hamilton and Bull were admitted to the house, and he told him his name was not Dupre but Webb, and that he was a detec tive officer. He then introduced him to his brother officers. Mr. Lewis—For which no doubt he felt very much obliged. (Laughter.) Witness—He told him of tho charge, and he denied knowing anything about the ship called the Severn, which sailed from Newport about the month of May last. Ho (prisoner) said, in reference to the charge of attempting to defraud Lloyd's, " It, is all wrong. I don't know anything about the ship." Witness said, " You are the owner of the Severn." He replied, "You make a mistake. I never saw her; I never was on board her ; I know nothing about her." Witness said that he would have to go with him, and that he had plenty of assistance to compel him to do so. The prisoner at first refused, but at last consented to go with the officers. He asked him if the captain was in custody, and witness said he knew more about him than he did. They then took him to the station, and on searching him found £23 and a gold watch and chain. Ho had had the investigation of this case, and if the pri soner were remanded till Friday he was in a position to state that important evidence would be produced on that day. Inspector Hamilton was in possession of information that was of great impoctance. Mr. Buchanan said that if the time to which the prisoner was to be remanded was not short he would ask that he should be admitted to bail. The prisoner was then remanded till Friday. On the application of Mr. Buchanan, the prisoner's money, and watch and chain, were delivered up to him. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE WIFE OF A RESPECTABLE TRADESMAN CHARGED WITH FELONY.—Martha Rambold, a respectable-looking woman, residing at No. 24 Park Villas East, Regent's Park, was - charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a pair of boots, the property of Mr. H. Davey, bootmaker, 221, Regent-street. Mr. E. Lewis, of Groat Marlborough-street, appeared for he prisoner. Afr. Davey said that yesterday evening the prisoner walked into his shop and deliberately took up a pair of boots, put them under her arm, and walked away. He went after her and took her back to the shop and sent for a constable and gave her in charge. Mr. Noakes, the chief clerk, asked the prosecutor whether the prisoner said anything when she took up the boots ? The prosecutor answered in the negative. In reply to questions put by Mr. Lewis, the prosecutor stated that he believed the prisoner put the boots under her shawl, but he was not certain. She deliberately walked in and took the boots. There was a degree of weakness of mind apparent in the prisoner. The prisoner said but little, and was vague in her answers. She made no attempt to run away, but walked off deliberately. `Police-constable Carpenter, 36 C, said that on telling the prisoner that she was charged with stealing a pair of boots, she said, " Here's the boots ; I do not want them." He took the prisoner to the station, and from the inquiries he had made he had ascertained that the prisoner's hus band was a master plumber and glazier. Mr. Lewis said he was instructed on behalf of the hus band of the unhappy woman to say that at times she was incapable of looking after herself or managing her affairs. She was also in the habit of drinking. The prosecutor himself admitted that the prisoner appeared weak in her mind. The prosecutor said he felt it his duty to bring the case before the magistrate, but it was not for him to say that the prisoner was of unsound mind. Mr. Tyrwhitt said ho would remand the prisoner. Mr. Lewis asked that bail might be taken. Mr. Tyrwhitt said ho would consider whether he would take bail or not. Tho prisoner, whose mind evidently- is affected, was then removed from the court.

Byrd Powell, a phrenological enthusiast in America, bequeathed his head to a widow lady who had boen a favourite pupil. A Kentucky court orderedthe head to be severed and given to the lady, which was done. The widow with this odd dowry was soon after married to Professor A. T. Kickeler, who is now lecturing in New York on physiological subjects, and illustrating his subject with Dr. Powell's head. Tne quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.25 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of Z'd lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appea's that gold is about 3-10ths per cell 1.0 carer in London than in Paris. THAMES. A GOLDEN PlLL—Jape Lee, a young woman, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing .£2 14s from a seaman, named William Roberts, staying at Green's Sailors' Home. The prosecutor and the prisoner met yesterday in Pop lar, and he treated her in three different publichouses. In the last the prisoner rifled the half-drunken seaman's pockets, and took from them all the money he had in his possession. William Donahoo, a boy, saw her commit the robbery, but made no alarm. The prisoner gave him a shilling, and told him to go away. He did so, but after wards proffered his services as a witness when the prisoner was apprehended. Mr. Paget sharply reproved the boy for permitting a robbery to take place in his presence without raising an immediate alarm. When the pri soner reached the station house 14s. in silver was taken from her hand, and Simon Ralph, a police offi cer, finding she had something in her mouth, grasped her by the throat and put his fingers into her mouth He took ono sovereign from it, and handed it to another officer. Ralph put his fingers into the prisoner's mouth, and at tempted to take another sovereign from it. She swallowed it, and laughed at him. In answer to questions by the Magistrate, the prosecutor said he lost exactly £2 145., that 14s. in silver was taken from the prisoner's hand, one sovereign from her mouth, and one sovereign she swallowed. Ile hoped the golden pill would do her good. (A laugh.) The Prisoner —All I have to say is he gave me the money. Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial. A Popular History of London. Encouraged by the success that has attended their furmer publication, Messrs. E. Moses and Son, of the Minories, have just issued gratuitously to the public the fourth part of a new serial, entitled, " A Popular History of London." The object in view is to supply th e rea d er w ith half an hour's cheerful reading, to f urn i s h a f ew pages that may shorten a long journey, an d p as s pleasantly a little leisure time in summer days or winter nights. The first part commences from the time of the Roman occu pation of Llyn-Dy n [B.C. 55] to the granting of the first City charter [A.D. 1066], and so tersely written and entertaining is the little work that few, if any, will lay it down until the whole has been read from beginning to end. The story of London, its rise and its progress, is a curious and interesting narrative; it is, in fact, like the story of a human life—hardy childhood, bold youth, enterprising manhood, and triumphant maturity. Tha work under notice is not a puffing trade circular, but, on the contrary, a very interesting book, true to its title, and admirably adapted to the object for which it is issued. Those who take the trouble to obtain a copy of the first part will certainly look forward with pleasure for the appear ance of the second instalment, and, judging from the specimen now under notice, it will be quite worthy, on its completion, of finding a permanent place on the bookshelves of every intelligent reader. That so excellent a work should be published by Messrs. Moses and Son is in itself highly corn mendable, but that it should be issued gratuitously lf a public, on personal applic a ti on or by post, extraordinary ci rcumstance , an d one lel in the great t ra di ng commun ity of n ts p t e t p is s o itnh the o i the metropolis. WORKMEN'S DWELLINGS IN LONDON, and else where, are being swept away (as we all know) wholesale by the railway extensions ; and the question, where are these evicted tenants to find other homes ? has become ono of pressing social interest. A paper read at the recent Social Science Congress at Manchester, by Mr. B. Emanuel, architect, has just been published, in which that gentle man recommends that " the cause of the evil" should be made " the means of its removal," by demonstrating to the railway companies that it is their interest to find means fo the aecommodation of those whom they dispossess. The plan proposed is actually nothing less than to convert the many railway arches in or near London, of suitable demon sions, into labourers' dwellings, and to provide for similar accommodation in all futuro viaducts built in the neigh bourhood of great cities. The author of the paper shows that an arch, of certain dimensions, would enable the builder to provide six moderate sized rooms on the ground and upper floors, and, in addition to these, a washhouser with yard, dust-bin, coal-cellar, dm. The accommodation ho values at Bs. per week. It may be admitted, says the Reader, that if a sufficient number of tenants is to be found who can afford to pay the rent named, whose nerves of sensation are not very finely strung, whose sense of hear ing is not acute, and who are impervious to damp, and proof against rheumatism, the speculation is likely to succeed, but wo fear not otherwise. BANQUET. AT THE MANSION-HOUSE. Last evening the Lord Mayor (Alderman Phillips) desir ing to celebrate in a way worthy. the City of London the successful completion of the Atlantic Telegraph connecting the Old World and the New, entertained all the various persons conspicuously identified with the enterprise, with the exception of a few who were unavoidably absent from indisposition, at dinner at the Mansion-honse; which was served in the Egyptian-hall, with great splendour. The company was about 150 in number, and included many persons not connected with the achievement. The Lord Mayor was unfortunately absent from indis position, and Mr. Alderman Copeland, the senior alder man, presided in his stead. The invited guests as they arrived were received by the chairman and the Lady Mayoress, in the state drawing-room, and thence con ducted to the seats assigned them in the hall, which was brilliantly illuminated for the occasion. The tables were profusely decorated with rare flowers, and the ancient plate of the Corporation, and the entertainment was alto gether one of great magnificence. The Lady Mayoress occupied a seat immediately on the left of the chair, and Mrs. Barnet, her daughter, on the right. On the removal of the cloth grace was sung by the choir, and the chairman and the Lady Mayoress drank to the company in a loving cup. The toast of " The Queen" was drunk with every mark of respect, as was also that of " The Prince and Princess of Wales, with the rest of the Royal family." The usual patriotic toasts were then duly honoured— Captain Galion, R.E., replying for the Army ; Capt. Com merell, R.N., for the Navy ; and Colonel Loyd-Lindsay, M.P., for the Volunteers. The last-named gentleman re ferred to the enthusiastic reception given to the English Volunteers by the Belgian people from the King down wards on their recent visit to that country, and he anti cipated the welcome which the Belgian Volunteers would receive on their arrival in England next year. The CHAIRMAN next gave the toast of "The House of Commons," coupling with it the name of Viscount Cran borne, the Secretary of State for India, whom he compli mented for the zeal and energy he had shown since his accession to office, and especially in dealing with the In dian famine. Lord CRANBORNE, who was welcomed with cheers, ex pressed his deep regret at the absence of the Chief Magis trate of the city, whose eloquence on these occasions they were all accustomed to admire, and who had filled with such singular felicity and skill the important office he held. (Cheers.) The House of Commons, he said, take it to pieces as people might, had this great characteristic—that it was the true reflex of the opinions and feelings of the country, and especially in the honour it was always ready to pay and the assistance it invariably afforded to great scientific undertakings like that which they were met that night to Celebrate. (Cheers.) The House of Commons had an intense appreciation of facts of all kinds, and it had never been wanting in giving assistance to great scientific enterprises. He had no right officially to speak of the Atlantic tele graph, but he had of another telegraph which connected India with England, and on behalf of those who wore re sponsible for the government, of this country, he thanked most earnestly those great minds to whom they owed that great boon to the human race. (Cheers.) It was not merely in the immediate results which such a discovery gave to the government of a country. It had been a reproach to us in this day that we were not so willing as we were of old to recognise the works of mind, and that we had come to be too material in our ideas. The truth was that our ances tors worshipped objects of the mind as applied to matters of taste and sensibility; but we admired the splendid efforts of the greatest intellects when applied to minister in the highest degree to the uses of man. All they who were oc cupied in political life would say that it was a real plea sure, after the conflicts in which they were accustomed to be engaged, to tender their grateful homage to those who had been concerned in this great achievement. They all felt a deep interest in the contests that decided the fate of nations or the genuineness of political principles, but there was on all these conflicts the stamp of decay. T hey kne w that the political principles for which they contended were liable to a similar decadence, and that what was held in honour in this century might be the subject of derision in the next; but the great addition to human power which Wheatstone and kindred spirits had conferred on the human mind might be the hetitsge of the human race as long as our species should exist. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN next proposed "Prosperity to the At lantic Cable," trusting that it might be the means o cementing the more the ties which had long bound the Old World and the New. The Right lion. JOIIN STUART 'WORTLEY, whose name as chairman of the Atlantic Telegraph Company had been associated with the toast, said it was a subject for regret that they could not tender their personal thanks to the Lord Mayor for that banquet, representing, as he did, the community of that great city, and in a certain sense the commercial community of the country. This had been a remarkable enterprise, but the history of the company over which he (Mr. Wortley) had the honour to preside was equally so. It began with a remarkable event. Some of the leading merchants and bankers subscribed to a list of 350 shares of £l,OOO each—not as a speculation, nor in the hope of remuneration, but from higher motives. In 1857 £500,000 more was subscribed, and in 1859 £500,000 more, making £1,350,000 altogether; and that having b3en spent, the company was at one time so penniless that the directors put their hands into their pockets, and, subscribing £250 apiece, paid the clerks and kept the offices. But the deepest debt of gratitude was due to those who were the real heroes of the enterprise—the engineers, the electricians,and the men of the merchant and naval services. (Cheers.) Mr. Wortley referred in passing to an interview he once had with the late Prince Consort in relation to the undertak ing, in the course of which, he said, his Royal Highness expressed an opinion that it might be more likely to be successful if it were practicable to lay the cable in an elastic glass tube, and took down a volume of an ancient classic author (Petronius Arbiter), from which he read a passage to:show that in those days the elasticity of glass was known. One great motive had from first to last ani mated all who were engaged in the enterprise —namely, that by bringing England and America into telegraphic communication the two communities would become more brotherly, or, if he might say so, more cousinly than they had hitherto bean. They were deeply indebted to the zeal and skill of Mr. Cyrus Field. He rejoiced, therefore, that her Majesty had been advised by the Government to mark and distinguish the men who had conducted the enter prise to a successful termination—a circumstance which would be regarded as a fresh proof of the lively interest the Queen took in all great nationalundertakings. (Rear, hear.) Mr. C. E. STEWART, whose name had also been con nected with the toast as chairman of the Anglo-American Telegraph Company, made a few observations in acknow ledgment; and Mr. FENDER, speaking for the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company, took occasion to connect it especially with the enterprise, in having chartered the Great Eastern steamship and raised the greater portion of the capital by which the scheme was eventually carried out. Ho added, amid the cheers of the company, that America, in connection with the enterprise, ought to be proud of such a man as Cyrus Field, and for his lifelong devotion to the cause. The toast of " Science as applied to Telegraphy," was next given from the chair, to which Professor Sir William Thomson. briefly replied, remarking, on the part of the scientific men employed in connection with the Atlantic Telegraph, that next to that most intense of all instincts, passions, and feelings in the scientific character—the love of nature—the strongest reward for investigation was found when the results of that investigation conferred some sub stantial benefit upon a large mass of mankind. Sir S. Canning replied to the toast of " The Engineers,' , _ _ _ and Mr. Willoughby Smith, C.E., to that of "The Elec tricians." Sir James Anderson, commander of the Great Eastern, responding to the toast of his health, took occasion to say of Captain Moriarty, by the way, that he had no equal in either the Royal or mercantile navy. Viscount CRANBORNE proposed the next toast. All those, he said, who had enjoyed the hospitality of the Lord Mayor of London during the past year, all who desired to see a great,and ancient office well and honourably maintained, and all who desired to see the city often adorned by a chief magistrate of his mark would join with him in thanking the Lord Mayor for his exertions during his tenure of office, and in wishing him health and happiness. (Cheers.) For himself, he had not only to thank the Lord Mayor in his public capacity for his general maintenance of the duties of his high office, but he had had an opportunity of witness ing the zeal he had shown in directing into a right channel the abundant charities of this , great metropolis. On the receipt of the recent and somewhat conflicting telegrams from India in relation to the famine it was difficult to decide upon the right course to adopt, but he could bear testimony that, so far as the Lord Mayor had been concerned, he had acted with tact, zeal, and discretion. He gave "Health and long life to the Lord Mayor." The toast was drunk with acclamation, and Mr. Henry Phillips acknowledged the compliment on behalf of his father. 0 Mr. JOHN ABEL SMITH, M.P., then in graceful terms proposed "the Health of the Lady Mayoress," which was received, if possible, with still greater enthusiasm. The musical arrangements were under the direction of Mr. Edwin Ball, assisted by Mr. Fielding, Mr. Monte" Smith, and Mr. Theodore Distin. The company separated about 11 o'clock. MATIIER V. THE DUCHESS OF NOP.FOLK.—Yester day, at the Chambers of Vice-Chancellor Kindersloy, the case of " Mather v. The Duchess of Norfolk," was heard on an application, by two summonses, for further time to an swer the bill, which was for an injunction to restrain the building of a house in Arundel-street, Strand, the ground of which had been taken from the Duchess of Norfolk. It was stated that it was probable that the matter would be arranged. The works bad not been completed. Mr. Church, the chief clerk, asked whether it was the first ap plication, and was told there had been several similar motions. The chief clerk granted 14 days' further time to answer, and it was stated that there would, in all proba bility, bo a settlement of the cause. SPUR ZING INTELLIGENCE. WORCESTER RACES -TVESDAY.

Sheridan and the military board that has reported upon the late riot. The mayor asserts that the riot was caused by the members of the defunct convention of 1864 and those affiliated with them, who incited the negroes by violent harangues and promises of power and emolument. He asserts that he was ready to suppress the riot, but Gen. Baird was not, and that it waiproved by eye-witnesses that the trouble commenced by members of the convention firing upon the police while in the discharge of their duty ; and that at the Institute building the first shots were fired from the win dows of the building by whites and blacks. He repeats his previous charge that Gen. Baird un locked the prison cells and let loose upon the city the white and black ringleaders of the riot, to make political capital for the Radical enemies of the reconstruction policy of the President. The report of the military commission, sustained by abundant evidence, disposes of Mayor Munroe's statements, and places him in a most unenviable light. His testimony as to Gen. Baird is contradicted not only by the general himself, but by Lieut.-Gov. Voorhees, Gen. Herron, and Chief of Police Adams. Gen. Baird did not refuse to assist in suppressing the riot, but sent for troops as soon as requested, and the evidence leaves no doubt of the fact that Mayor Munroe, and those with him in the conspiracy to massacre the convention, purposely arranged to keep the troops away until the slaughter was over, and suc ceeded in doing so. The commission say in their report :—" Th e board are reluctantly compelled to dis credit the mayor, and to believe that he knew that not a soldier had been asked for, and that when he massed his armed p o li ce, and held them aloof from the building, no barrier remained between the con vention and negroes and the infuriated citizens, with whose threats the city was yet ringing, except his paper proclamation. He states, moreover, that he knew that the hatred of the mob toward the con vention and the negroes was shared by his police. In this state of affairs, should the negroes assemble in any number, a collision might be considered in evitable, and an attack by the mob upon the con vention as sure to follow. Then the police—massed, armed, and ready—are let loose upon the scene to quell the riot." The evidence goes' to show that organisations of ex-Confederate soldiers were con cerned in the massacre, especially one called Hays' brigade, and it was declared by some of the assassins iie if all Hays' brigade had been present, not one of t ic convention or their friends would have es ca p ed • was preconcerted, but they say that . it commission are not only positive that thsedioniaiesswacitrhei 111 annals of " a cowardly ferocity unsurpassed crime."

The commissioner have will rccommer c . s t a ted this conviction very carefully, but it is doubt less true, and it is a matter of serious import. If the assassins of the 30th of July go unpunished, New Orleans will be given over to the rule of the ruffians educated in rebellion, and there will be liberty of opinion and speech neither for Northern nor Southern Unionists. If the President has been put in a false attitude by circumstances, taken action iu this matter, he can only retrieve his reputation by decisive action against the New Orleans rioters and the ' • conspiring officials upon the evidence presented him by the report of the military commission Spril • igfield Weekly Repub lican.

It is well known that this journal has always dis claimed using the word "AMERICA" as exclusively the property of the United States. We have always been of the opinion that the last-named designation is the true one. In fact, it is the only one recog nised by the status of the country, or authorised by its constitution. To call the United States merely " America" is absurd, inasmuch as such a title totally ignores the large American possessions of England and Russia in the North. On the other hand, there is a custom prevalent in certain quarters that is still more erroneous. There are persons who speak of citizens of the United States as North Americans, because they are born and living in the Northern States ; and of other United States citizens, natives and residents of the Southern States, as South Americans ! Could anything be more ridiculous ? It is not long since we heard a justly distinguished President of an English College—a consistent friend of the preservation of the American Union —inform an audience that a student had been received from one of the "Southern" States of America. We are quite sure that the truly able and good man to whom we refer meant no injustice to the United States—that he spoke in no party sense whatever— and yet he but uttered the idea that is so erroneously prevalent in many European minds. The truth is, the American Union is one. It is a nation. It has a name, a Constitution, a Govern ment, as distinct and indivisible as can be found in any country. The United States of North America is that name, that Constitution is the supreme law of all the land, and that Government is free, sovereign, and independent. Legally speaking, there are no such things in the American Union as Northern or Southern, Eastern or Western States. There are certain Republican commonwealths, locatedin different degrees of lati tude and longitude. But they are all on the same continent, they all carry the same flag, they all take the same oath of allegiance, they all circulate the same national currency, they all unite in choos ing the same general government; and, therefore, to all intents and purposes, they are one and the same people. To stigmatise one class as " Yankees," to exalt another as" cavaliers," is the acme of folly. The inevitable and unanswerable logic of events is conclusively proving it so. On the con trary, the genius of the institutions of the United States is homogeneous ; and any and all attempts to prove them otherwise will be disastrous failures. There can be no class legislation in the United States. There can be no aristocracy there. The bonds of the American Union are lawful and valuable, because the whole American people are now pledged to redeem them. Any one who looks carefully at passing events across the water cannot fail to see this at once. The Confederate States were never recognised by a majority of the people of the Republic, and they never will be. Con federate States Bonds are worthless, and always must remain so. Their value is dead and buried in the grave of the Slaveholders' Rebellion, and not even an archangel's trumpet can resurrect them into life. PARLIAMENTARY REFORSI.
