" Ichtaban's LL Whisk nbservAlhe TLA Saal, Pink Label, and Cork branded v." President JOHNSON, as well as his Cabinet, re mained to the end-under the extraordinary delusion that the nation, as a whole, supported his policy. lie was only undeceived by the result of the elec tions, which came on him like a thunderbolt. IVe cannot wonder that the English should retain false impressions touching the sentiments of Americans, when the ruler of the nation and the person most deeply in terested should be convicted of this ignorance. There is, in truth, no question now worth fighting for between the contending factions. The war: has proved that the Union is to be maintained ; and, as all parties are agreed on this vital subject, the manner of accomplishment alone remains to be de cided. If we could blow away all the smoke and clouds raised by the bitter discord of parties, we would see how narrow are the interests involved, and how mad the idea that those interests require the sacrifice of a single life. The question is simply on what terms the ten unrepresented States are to re-enter the Union. While the parties remained apparently equally balanced, and every spur was given by the violent language of politicians to rouse the people into action, there was danger of the strong-minded on both sides car rying the game beyond the bounds of reason. On this account we hoped above all things that the people would speak out, and decide the matter either one way or the other. Whether Mr. JOHNSON carried his policy or Congress enforced the Constitutional amendment, was comparatively of little moment to the frightful issue which might have arisen, and would in truth have been, in the broadest sense of the word, a civil war. An appeal to arms to settle the differences between the PRESIDENT and Congress would have been a reproduction of that between CHARLES and his Parliament on a scale out of all proportion larger than that which laid waste and desolated for years the green fields of England. It would, indeed, be the most horrible catastrophe that could occur in this world, stripped of the princi ples and motives which could in any way justify the terrible ordeal. It was incumbent on the American people, in the face of such an eventuality, strongly, sternly, and with determined force, to speak. Had they wavered, half supporting the PRESIDENT—haIf supporting the Congress, each side might have blustered till the horrible calamity overtook society. The decided success, then, of the Republican party is a blessing to the country. Not so much that it enforces a rational and legitimate policy, arising from the consequences of the late war, as that it settles a cause of dispute which might have been carried to the length of involving the nation in ruin. We always thought that aii appeal to arms was in the last degree improbable, because we felt the nation would take action, and that its leaders would bow to its voice when heard. The nation has spoken, and all that remains is for the leaders to shape their course accordingly. The Republican party is triumphant ; and it has now only to secure its victory, and carry the people along with it by listening to the counsel of moderate men, and using its success with discretion. The PRESIDENT, in spite of his faults, is an earnest, patriotic citi zen ; perhaps too determined to enforce his own views, yet believing honestly that the policy he had propounded was the true solution to the difficulties of the position. It is now more than probable that he will abandon his policy, and adopt the amend ments which Congress desire to enforce. At the same time that the North maintains the ascendancy that wealth, numbers, and the result of the appeal to arms have given it, it is clearly as much for its interest as for that of the South that sectional dif ferences should cease, and the nation be again united as one. It would be absurd for the great States, whose will is now the law of the Union, to profess jealousy or fear of the prostrate South. The development of Southern resources is a vital element of the Union's strength. The task now before the statesmen of America is sufficiently difficult without adding thereto an undying quarrel, and dragging along in seeming union, but in reality in discord, an unwilling people. There are financial difficul ties as well as those to repair the waste of war— there are boundless tracts to be colonised as. well as those trodden into a desert by contending armies- there arc burnt and bombarded cities to be rebuilt as well as their alienated inhabitants to be con ciliated—there are great staples which for merly gave America the command in the mar kets of the world to be fostered into more than their old productiveness, as well as the chief agri cultural and mineral wealth of creation to be raised and guided into the proper channels of commerce. Surely such grand designs are sufficient, even for t t h h e e i r as w piri efforts h io which g n p oe neutralised pl e i n involves o l vebsby America, nao vitalw ithu having senseless o conten tionprinciples, i g o r nb e s a y t to ob i s en s wt u e eird. The bf eo d di N s c o o hr r ta d bv an a gn n d abf feoe t rn h d e t finally g ne o r s e lln a y : settled qthueest cede liberally to the South, and the goncessions will strengthen, not weaken, the relative supe riority. We trust that every succeeding mail will bring us news that the heat of the contest is abating, and that parties will be found more and more to assimilate to each other, working for the real interests of the Union on a broader basis of conciliation, which is the true essence of politics.— Anglo-American Times.

MAC DONALD'S NEW NOVEL. Nov ready, at all the Libraries, In 3 v.+ls., A NNALS of a QUIET NEIGHBOURHOOD. By GEORG ill MAC DoIsIALD, M.A. " Mr. Man Don.ld is a true poet.

Now that the smoke of battle has cleared away, you perhaps see more truly the character of the field. But 1 would invite you to transport yourselves to that field while the smoke still hung upon it ; to remember that a former rebellion in Jamaica, which everybody supposed to be quelled in May, broke out ' with redoubled fury in June ;' to think of Governor Eyre with the blood of his slaughtered country men before his eyes—with the memories of St. Domingo in his mind—with the consciousness that the whole island round him was near its point of combustion, and with no possible means of estimating how near. In what way, gentlemen, some of your number would have acted under these circumstances God only knows. In all probability they would have acted kindly and calamitously, for phi lanthropists can unconsciously become shedders of - blood. How others of your number would have acted I believe I do know. They might have acted with more tact, and thus given less offence ; but their measure of mercy to the murderers would not, I am persuaded, have exceeded that of -Governor Eyre. It appears to me that you practically forget the circumstances which I am here endeavouring to bring before your minds. There seems a tendency on your part to tone 'down the cringes of the negro and to bring his punishments into relief. You speak, for example, of the massacre at Morant Bay as a local riot.' But looking at the historic antecedents what right had Governor Eyre to come to this conclusion ? Had he come to it, and acted on it, he might have earned for himself the execration of the English people, if not of mankind. To his knowledge the whole island was disaffected, and history. had informed him what a dis affected negro population can do. He knew how they could plot in secret, and spring like tigers on their victims the moment their plans were matured. Only think of his posi tion, knowing that such things had occurred, and with a horrible practical intimation before him that they were about to occur again. The height and span of a bridge, gentlemen, must be regulated with reference to the larger floods, and the action of Governor Eyre had to be deter mined, not by the hypothesis of a local riot, but by the contemplation of the calamities which were certain to overwhelm the whole island if the insurrection were per mitted to expand. No narrower assumption than this could, under the circumstances, be entertained. Had the local riot hypothesis been demonstrable at the time—could it have been proved that the insurrection was confined to a single parish, and that the culpilits at large would not spread the fire of rebellion throughout the colony, 1 would join you in condemning Governor Eyre. But no such thing was de monstrable. Had he had a force at his command sufficient to cope with insurrection, even though the whole island were engaged in it, 1 would let him answer for himself. But he had no such force. The'power opposed to him, if permitted to organise itself, was sufficient to swallow him and those for whose lives he was accountable. He was therefore obliged to augment his relative strength, by damping everywhere the spirit of rebellion, and this could only be done by making the name, power, and determina tion of England terrible throughout the island. That errors should be committed, that cruelties should be per petrated, that wrong should be done is, I fear, under such circumstances, unavoidable; but the error, the cruelty, and the wrong, so far as they were committed, were for the most part beyond the control of Governor Eyre. You have directed my attention to the case of Mr. Gordon,• and I have looked into it again. I pass with out comment the evidence of Lieutenant Edenborough, " T . II E" S A U C E. (DR.

G RECOIL. 34,11_0, not exceed that Of the Enfield Rifle by more than per cent. that no man concerned in the murder of our countrymen was more guilty than he. When, therefore, the sentence on G:,rdcm, after having been approved by his officers, was submitted to him, he did not stay judgment, but ratified the decision that others had pronounced. Whether, in the details of this proceeding, he committed or did not commit a legal blunder, I am not able to say. If he did, he has surely paid dearly for it by the ruin of his career. I notice . throughout his entire conduct the clear conviction on part that he was doing his duty, the undoubting trust in the justice of his countrymen which caused him to neglect the personal safeguards which a more adroit person would have employed. To associate the term `murder' with his i name is, in my opinion, without justification. There sno p r opriety in the term unless it is backed by assumptions which no man has a right to make. And if in the prose cution, which, to the detriment of this country, is now in voked against Governor Eyre, the execution of Gordon, from a lawyer's point of view, be deemed indefensible, 1 trust the common sense of Englishmen will perceive that it was caused by those whose own bloody atrocities had, for the time, stifled mercy, and abrogated law. Such, gentlemen, are the notions and interpretations which your courtesy in writing to me induces me to lay before you. And such being my notions, when asked to join the Eyre Defence Committee, I felt that cowardice, or a dislike to the worry involved in the act, wore the only reasons which opposed my doing so. Con-. chiding from what I had observed in society, that Governor Eyre was more likely to suffer from timidity than convic tion—that the dread of you, gentlemen, and of those whom you represent was very widely spread-4 overcame my strong reluctance to mingle in any matter of the kind. I pledge you my word of honour, gentlemen, that during this inquiry I have laid before me the testimocnapyaosiftmnewnhoof approved valour, coolness of judgment, and have occupied positions of the most critical danger who have extracted themselves an d ot h ers from such positions in a manner which has secured for them the unanimous applause of the people of this country, and who, from data gathered on the spot, conclude that in the month of Oct., 1865, Governor Eyre saved the whole white population of Jamaica from massacre: I have the solemn assurance of such men that England has few sons as noble, few men so equal to a great emergency, few w h o h ave d one th e St a t e such service as Govern or E yre . And I now call upon you, with the most solemn emphasis that man can address to man, not to permit personal pride, the love of victory, or the desire to substantiate that to which you have committed yourselves, because you are so committed, to influence your further action in the matter. I call upon you in the name of all that is wise and dignified in human nature—in the name of all that is just and manly in English character, not to permit the folly of Governor Eyre's admirers, if such folly should in your estimation exist, to colour your judg ment in this grave question. And whether you will bear, or whether you will forbear, I call upon the men of Eng land who share the views here set forth, to throw them selves without delay between you and Governor Eyre, and to prevent you from adding to the harm which he has already experienced at your hands.

CONSPIRACY TODEFRAUD CREDITORS.—ORMOn day last, before a bench of magistrates at Dewsbury, Mr. Abraham Blackburn, described as a person of considerable property, was charged with conspiring, along with one James Blackburn, a bankrupt, to defraud the creditors of the said James Blackburn and Geo. Blackburn, his brother, to the amount of £2,000. Mr. Bond, of Leeds, appeared for the prosecution on behalf of the bankrupts' assignees, and Mr. W. Carr appeared for the prisoner. Two years ago George and James Blackburn, the bankrupts, and who aro the nephews of the defendant, carried on an extensive business as woollen manufacturers in Gomersal, al2do. were largely engaged in Government army contracts. raid, the month of Juno, 1865, they suddenly disc reality they had absconded to America, taki : if. of money. ostensibly on a visit to the Dublin tio w n i ,: h P b e t u a h t em in a large quantity of goods and a considerasbliosracd, woollen The day after their departure Mr. r to Gomersal, and between £6,000 and £7,000, tventovt ove r to Being found everything in a hopeless state f information as to the defaul ters, of Leeds, who was a creditor to the amount of unable to obtain satisfactory and oro eventually had them pursued, and a portion d in NO IV York through the ingenuity of the goods recovered sent after them.

About the same time he got another £l,OOO note from his nephew James, and got it changed, after due inquiry had been made at the Heckmondwiko branch of the Hudders field Banking Company.

In this long reach, from whence for merly the din of ironworkers proceeded night and day, six or eight iron vessels only are slowly rising into e xistence. These out ward atria visible signs indicate also a g reat amount of distress among the inhabitants of the adjacent parishes. In Greenwich and Deptford alone about 10,000 men are out of employment, and this large bod y by no means represents the total number of those whose wages entirely depend upon the activity of the shipbuilding- trade. Extensive strikes among these men, the dull state of the money-market, and the important fact that Loudon has, in shipbuilding, a very formidable rival in Glasgow, are all causes tending to this very unsatisfactory state of things, which, if it lasts long, will bring a vast amount of misery upon the working classes in the neighbourhoods above mentioned.

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have boon given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. tit present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. Tho Manager &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, anti orphans tro, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving?

The objects of the Bankare—to take over the assets and liabilities of the Agra and Masterman's Bank (Limited), and liquidate the same as a working bank, and to continue that portion of the business formerly carried on by the Agra and United Service Bank (Limited). The proposed plan for this purpose is explained in the statement which has bean already circulated, and which, at a numerously attended meeting of the shareholders of the Agra and Masterman's Bank (Limited), held at the London Tavern on the 18th October, 1866, was unani mously and cordially adopted, and a committee of share holders appointed to "carry out the necessary, arrange ments to give effect to the proposal, with power to make such modifications therein as the committee may find necessary." A copy of that statement, with the modifications therein already agreed to by the committee, can be obtained on application as at foot. The committee have nominated the six above-named Directors, and it is intended to add not exceeding three additional Directors, to be selected by the Board from the subscribers to the new capital, making the number of original Directors not exceeding nine, but with power to increase afterwards, if found desirable. The business which it is proposed to carry on has been tested by the experience of the past to be both safe and profitable. From the establishment of the Agra and United Service Bank in 1833, up to the end of 1863, when it changed its name and entered upon an extended field of operations, it proved itself a growing and unchecked suc cess, and during the years 1862 and 1863, respectively, paid to its shareholders clear net dividends of 18 and 20 per cent. The advantages which the proprietors of the shares now offered will receive are : (1). Tho benefit of an old-established and profitable business, without any payment for goodwill. (2). They will have a preference dividend out of pro fits for two years of ten per cent. per annum on their paid up capital. (3). They will have the option at once, or at any of the be ore-named periods, of paying up the whole amount of £lO per share : dividends being allowed on all payments pro rata. The liability on the shares will therefore be ac tually, and not nominally, limited. The subscription list will be closed for London on the 12th, and for the country on the 13th day of November, 1866, and applications will be considered in the order of their receipt.

STRANGE DISCOVERY OF THE BODY OF A CHILD AT CLAPHAM.—A very extraordinary discovery of the dead body of a child has just been made at Erin Lodge, Clapham Park, Clapham, the residence of a highly respectable family. The discovery was made under the foll ow i ng c i reums t ances: A few days since some alterations were being effected in the front kitchen of 'th e house which rendered necessary the removal of a portion of the flooring, when, in pulling up the boards, one of the workmen discovered underneath- a bundle of something wrapped up in a newspaper. He im mediately opened the bundle, and to his amazement pro duced the remains of what no doubt had once been a child ; they were, however, so wasted away that Dr. Parrott, of Clapham-common, who was at once called in, could not tell to what sex it had belonged. The newspaper bore the date of 11th April, 1865. Information of the discovery was for warded in the usual manner to the coroner, but no inquest has yet been held. The matter is being investigated by the police, anti the body io in the dead-hotie at Clapham. Th 9 Eyre Defence Fund and the Jamaica Committee. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, --Professor Tyndall h av i ng f orwar d e d t o me _. _ _ the following letter addressed to the Jamaica Com mittee, and believing as I do-that it is likely to in terest the public, I shall esteem it a favour if you will permit it to appear in your columns. Your faithful servant, HAMILTON HumE, Hon. Sec. 9, Waterloo-place, Nov. 7. " TO THE MEMBERS OF-THE JAMAICA COMMITTEE. " Gentlemen,---You have done me the honour of sending me certain papers ' relating to the atrocities of the authorities in Jamaica,' during the suppression of the late alleged rebellion. , I am far from being insensible to the opinion which your courtesy in sending me these papers implies : namely, that I am incapable of de fending any line of conduct to which the term atrocious' could with fairness be applied. Amid the many distracting lights which fall upon this question, the notions which I have been able to form regarding Jamaica, and the interpretation which I have been able to put upon occurrences you so earnestly de nounce, are these : That through the absence of necessary guidance and governance, the negroes of the colony had fallen into a very chaotic and bad condition, presentingadeplorable contrast with their brethren in other colonies, who, favoured with _less leisure, have become far better men. The Jamaica negroes are, I am informed, as a general rule, lazy and profligate, while many of the authorities I have consulted, and who have lived among these people, add a third and weightier adjective, which I refrain from writing down. It is not, I believe, contended, even by their friends, that the Jamaica negroes are not lazy ; it is only urged in extenuation that white men under the same circumstances would be lazy too. Be he black or white, the man who illustrates this doctrine, and who lives as the negroes of Jamaica are reported to live, soon ceases to be a civilised being. But he may be harmless and docile notwith standing. Though absolutely useless he may not be dangerous. Is this the character of the West Indian negro, or is it not? History, written without re ference to the Jamaica insurrection—written long years before the committal of the deeds you denounce —gives the following answer to this question : " ' This vast conspiracy (that of the negroes in St. Domingo), productive iu the end of calamities in the island unparalleled even in the long catalogue of European atrocity, had for its object the total extir pation of the whites, and the establishment of an independent black government over the whole colony. So inviolable was the secresy, so general the dissimulation of the slaves, that the awful catas trophe was in no way apprehended by the Euro pean proprietors, and a conspiracy which embraced nearly the whole negro population of the island was revealed only by the obscure hints of a few faithful domestics, who, without betraying their comrades, warned their masters of the approach of an unknown and terrible danger. The explosion was sudden and dreadful, beyond anything ever before seen among mankind. At once the beautiful plains of the north of the island were covered with fires, the labours of a century were deioured in a night, while the ne groes, like unchained tigers, precipitated themselves on their masters, seized their arms, massacred them without pity, and threw them into the flames. . . . The cruelties exercised on the unhappy captives on both sides in this disastrous contest exceeded any thing recorded in history. The negroes marched with spiked infants on their spears instead of colours, they sawed asunder the male prisoners, and violated the females on the dead bodies of their husbands.'— Alison's History of Europe,' vol. 6, p. 101. "It was people of this race and temper who, called together by the round of horns and shells, assembled in hundreds round the Courthouse of Morant Bay on Oct. 11, 1865. It was such people who then and there fell upon our countrymen, and after' driving them by fire from the courthouse, slew, hacked, and mutilated them ; and who, after having done this, proceeded to spread the flame of insurrection else where. At the time here referred to discontent and disaffection prevailed throughout the whole island of Jamaica. This I gather from your own docu ments. The colony then resembled the dry grass of a prairie, ready to be set on fire from beginning to end by a spark of successful insurrection. But, lest what I gather from your documents should be tinc tured by any bias of mine, I offer to your notice the first of a series of letters bearing upon this subject which comes to my hand. On July 20, 1865, Mr. Hudson, of Jamaica, writes thus to Mr. Salmon, of the same island : " ' Spring Vale, July 20, 1865. " ' Dear Sir,—l think it incumbent on me to in form you of certain reports of a serious nature which are in circulation in my neighbourhood. For the past few weeks there have been rumours of a rebellion among the peasantry, but I did not attach any importance to them, but conceived they origi nated from want of understanding the causes of the recent meetings held in this and the adjacent parishes until lately. I have been led by sufficient information to believe they are more than passing reports, and which require some notice. It appears that there is an organised plot among the people in this vicinity for a rebellion about the early part of August ensuing. My reasons for believing there is truth in the matter are these house girl of mine has stated several times in my family's hearing that the black people have agreed upon rising in arms at the above period for the purpose of murdering the upper classes, and destroying and afterwards seizing their properties. She does not deny that she ob tained this information from her friends. For the present she will not say anything more on the sub ject, but only states "We must wait and see." Other persons have likewise given us intelligence of a similar nature. Dr. M'Catty mentioned some thing to me of a like import which tends greatly to strengthen them. He stated he had already ac quainted you with the purport of his information. I do not think it would be wise to treat these rumours merely as " idle tales." My district is hot to join with other parts of the island in a move of the kind, if made. My delicate state of health pre vents me calling to see you, but I shall be glad to give you whatever further information in my power, and to receive any directions from you on the sub ject. It would not be prudent to allow these strong reports to continue without preparing, as far as we are able, against an attempt of disturbance should it turn out to be correct.—l have, &c., (Signed) " JOHN HUDSON. " The Hon. John Salmon, Custos.' " A house girl of mine ':—You, gentlemen, are far bet ter acquainted than 1 am with what an illustrious member of your body calls 'the law of inseparable association;' and no doubt you will recognise an illustration of this law is the promptitude with which the warnings preceding the troubles in St. Domingo suggest themselves on reading this letter. On the 11th of October, as above stated, the much-dreaded action began. The Governor of the island had then thrown upon him the responsibility of preserving the property, lives, and honour of 14,000 British men and women, who wore scattered in isolated and unprotected positions among a negro population of 350,000. ,And it is to be remarked that the leaders of these people were well aware of the advantage of their position; that they were not held back from revolt and rapine by the fear of subse quent retribution. In the neighbouring island of Hayti they had the example of a people which bad successfully defied the power of France. In reply to an intimation of the swift vengeance of England in case of insurrection, Mr. G. W. Gordon was able topoint out that all the power of the great Napoleon could not put down the risingdisease before they could meet the pe o p le in the mountains.A when the power displayed by En g land in crushing the In dian mutiny was urged upon his attention, Mr. Gordon was able to respond—' India is not at all a case in point, for India is a fiat country , and the English troops would over run and conquer it ; but here is a mountainous country, and before the British troops could reach the mountains they would die of disease here.' Taking all these things into account I endeavoured to clearly realise the position of the governor, who had this problem suddenly thrust filers and about th e wever, of n malting lised from beand, 464 ni 4s to 54 ittO, 13-1• otyis not [ding 1)!Ic'' Teat, red, 7• inferior, r . grind to 293 heat eon id foreign aarket to ,at, which rates, but Zs ; Dan t " Ts to 60 ; 3s to 50s• erranean' Russian, re i gn , 458 3;11 white, 36 stone . 36s per per 24st• the same 36 stone. e i n goOd ;re OhOlft a 13 ; 17 20 16 u n 17 0 21 , ' .
