.r R ki/L lIILY IN - TEIGN VALLEY. The adjourned meeting of this company was held at Newton Abbot on Monday- 7 -Sir L. Palk, M.P., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN stated that the directors had per fected the scheme of arrangement in detail between the company and their creditors. In accomplishing this they were greatly indebted to Mr. H. Edwards, of King's Lynn. The Secretary (Hr. J. Also') then read the par ticulars of the arrangement. Mr. 11. EDWAIWS explained that the creditors would have au opportunity of objecting to the arrangement when the scheme was before the Court of Chancery, although the arrangement had been prepared in coccert with the principal creditors, and the meeting might conclude, therefore, that the scheme would be passed as it left their bands. The scheme of arrangement was to the effect that shares to the extent of £20,7-10 had been paid upon, and power was taken to issue £5,000 in satisfaction of certain claims, and a further margin of £5,180, making up the share capital to the reduced amount of £31,000. Different classes of creditors would be paid in B and C debenture stock. It was not pro posed to raise money upon those stocks for the pay ment of the creditors, but the latter were to accept payment in those stocks. There would then be the A Stock, which would be the first charge upon the undertaking, and upon which as much money would be raised as would complete the works. Thus all classes would rank according to their right;. The total amount of the several stocks and shares would not exceed the amount authorised by the company's acts. lie thought they might look forward to a speedy release from their present embarrassment, and to the early completion of their long delayed line. The scheme of arrangement was then unani mously agreed to, and a vote of thanks to the chair man terminated the proceedings. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA. The half-yearly meeting of this company was appointed to be held,' pro forma, yesterday, at the City Terminus Hotel, Cannon-street ; Mr. A. W. Young in the chair. Mr. J. M. Grant, the secretary, having read the notice convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said the notice just read would explain the object of the meeting. He was exceed- ingly sorry that the President, Mr. IVatkin, was absent in consequence of a domestic affliction in his family. The report of Capt. Tyler and Mr. Ebarall on the state of their line and other matters had not yet been received, but he thought the re port would soon be completed. The directors would require some time to thoroughly consider the joint report of those gentlemen, and it was, therefore, proposed to adjourn the present meeting to the 19th of December next. lie then moved a formal reso- lution for the adjournment of the meeting to Thursday, the 19th of December, at one o'clock, at that place. Mr. HOYES called attention to paragraph 8 in the report, which stated that a bill had been prepared for submission to the Canadian Parliament during the coming session to consolidate the preference bonds and stocks by conversion into an uniform pre: ference debenture stock. He objected to the Board of directors taking steps without consent to affect the rights of the bondholders' property. He denied the right of any body of men, however respectable, to deal with his interests as a bondholder. He had called at the office and seen the copy of the bill, which gave power to three-fourths of any number of share and bond holders who chanced to attend a meeting convened for the purpose to decide the question as to disposing of the rights and priorities of the bondholders in the company. The time ha d come, he thought, when there should be a change in the management of the company's affairs both at home and in Canada. He would not oppose the ad journment of the meeting, but he felt that some ex planation should be given thorn before they ad- journed. Mr. RITTER said he held about £5,000 in bonds of the company, and he had taken them on the faith of the Arrangement Act ; but now it w..s proposed by the new bill to alter their lights of priority. lie could not understand how the directors could have had the boldnes3 to make such a proposition. lie, for one, would place the matter iu the hands of his solicitor. Mr. C. LEGG thought there would be no difficulty in supplying the bondholders with a copy of the new Arrangement Bill. Mr. PRANCE said, with regard to the permissive bill, there was no time to be lost ; it would come before the Legislature of Canada in a month, and would, if unopposed, pass through and become law. Ile hoped the directors would withdraw the bill. It proposed to convert the first, second, third, and fourth preference bonds into a new 6 per cent. de benture stock, not to exceed in amount the aggregate of the four classes of debenture bonds. lle believed the dividends on the latter now averaged 4 per cent. on the whole amount, while the new bill was to raise the interest on the one large uniform stock to 6 per cent.; so that, instead of the preference charges being £375,000, as at present, they would be raised by the new bill to £582,000, being an increase of £207,000. lle believed the real object of the bill was to enable the directors to spend more money on the line in Canada, and would have the effect of raising their capital to £20,000,000. The policy of the proprietors should be to stop the further expen diture of capital, and spend no more money than was absolutely necessary to place the permanent way in an efficient state and to provide the requisite roll ing stock. They had already expended £17,000,000 in Canada, and there was not now one penny in actual money available as interest on that outlay. He thought the preference bondholders must be idiots if they allowed their rights to be taken away as proposed by the new bill. Let them make the line safe to travel upon, and deal with it as a com mercial undertaking. At present they expended 90 per cent. of the receipts in working expenses, and the rest was swallowed up. They must look into the details of that expenditure, put a stop to unnecessary outlay, and make it a paying concern. Mr. CONEYBEARE suggested that the loss on the greenbacks should be first deducted from the gross receipts, and not from the gross profits. Ile wished to see in the accounts the profits on greenbacks as well as the losses. He held some of the Atlantic and St. Lawrence stock, upon which he. was paid his dividends in greenbacks, instead of in sterling. lie wished also to have an account of the losses sus tained by the company on the leased lines. Mr. E. J. HERAPATII said he held £ll,OOO of preference bonds in the company, and he considered that their expenditure was exceedingly heavy. He did not know exactly what the objects of the bill were, but from what he had heard it should be exa mined carefully, as he did not lik.3 any alteration of existing rights. It was quite a new thing to con vert existing priorities into one uniform debenture stock. Ile hoped the bill would not be proceeded with, as the time was too short to form au opinion upon it. He wished to know what had been ex pended on steel rails during the past half year, as there was in the accounts a charge of £625 for royalty on steel rails. Mr. NEWMARCII, the auditor, said he held a posi tion between the share and bowl holders and the board. He thought the lattkr would rather be glad that the present opportunity hail elicited an expres sion of opinion as to the bill, and that the directors would carefully weigh the observations that had been made. Ile would, so far as he could, report to the directors the strong feeling of the inecting on the question they had discussed. He might men tion that there was no intention to mix up any por tion of the expenditure with the International Rail way. The report of Captain Tyler and Mr. Ebo rall was being carefully prepared, and he was in formed that they had gone very fully into matters, which had taken more time than was anticipated. The net loss on the greenbacks was the balance of the profit and loss upon them. lle could tell them that the loss from greenbacks and the American war had greatly retarded the results anticipated from the operation of the Arrangements Act. If it had not been for the American war he be lieved that five years would have been sufficient to accomplish what ten years' time was granted for I,y that act. The gross receipts of the line since 1862 had exceeded expectations, but they had failed in realising the net result. As to the policy of plac ing the permanent way and the rolling stock in a condition to carry all the traffic to be had, there could be no doubt if that were the case they could now earn £50,000 a week ; and gentlemen could easily see what a difference that would make for the next eight or nine weeks to come on the aggregate receipts of the current half-year. Speaking for him self, he did not lose faith in what the ultimate re sult of the line would be if provided with ample means to carry the traffic. The disastrous harvest of last year, which extended over the whole of the North American continent, had seriously affected their receipts. Now they had a good harvest, and would experience the advantage of it. The loss of the greenbacks could, of course, only come out of their profits. Ile thought there was no difference whatever between the interests of the directors and those of the shareholders and bondholders. Mr. MERCER said he had supported the policy of the Arrangement Act in 1862, and could not see what right any one had to disturb his priority as an equipment bondholder. He had every confidence in the directors, and trusted they would do what was right. The CHAIRIIAN said he was not going to answer all the observations that had been made. He had taken a note of the proceedings and would report the matter to the board. The existing equipment bonds would remain as they were. They paid a royalty to entitle them to use steel rails, but nothing had been expended in the purchase of steel rails. He would call an early board meeting and submit the grounds upon which the meeting were opposed to the new bill, and of course they would decide as they thought best for the interests of the company. After another long discussion it was agreed that a deputation, consisting of Mr. lloyes, Mr. Prance, Mr. Smith, Mr. Ritter, and Mr. Mercer, should re present to the board the views of the proprietors present with regard to the proposed bill. The meet ing was then adjourned to the 19th iust., and the proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. WEST FLANDERS. The half-yearly general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, Moorgate-street —Mr. R. T. Frere in the chair. The report, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said the line was in good order, and the lessees were in a flourishing condition, which was a guarantee for the payment of the rent. The line from Nieuport to Dixmude was nearly finished. As to the financial condition of the company, out of the balance of £7,514 it was proposed to pay a divi dend of ss. per share, which would leave a balance of £824. This dividend was au increase of 3d. per share upon the dividend of the previous half-year, and 6d. per share upon the dividend preceding that, and ls. per share upon the dividend of November, 1865. The company had no liabilities and was free from debt, and he did not think in future there would be any sudden diminution in the dividend. The line was leased to the Societe d'Exploitation under certain . conditions. They were—that the company should repair damage caused by earth quakes, revolutions, wars, or floods. They were the usual clauses inserted in all leases in Belgium, and of course it was impossible for the company to avoid them, and while the condition existed the company was not entirely out of danger. To meet this it was proposed to put by a small sum to form a contin gent fund. Capt. GREIG seconded the motion for the adop tion of the report. Mr. S. HERAPATII remarked that there were items amounting to £7OO which would not appear in the next account, so that if the profit remained the same they would have that amount to the good. In answer to a question, the CHAIRMAN said they might reach the dividend of 133. 3d. per share in 1871. The report was then adopted. The directors were then authorised, whenever the dividend for the half-year reached 5s per share, to in vest in a contingency fund a sum not exceeding £5OO. This investment was to remain the property of the original shareholders, and to cease so soon as the reserve fund provided by the statutes should come into operation. The resolution was carried. The election of Mr. R. Tufuell, a director, was confirmed ; and Mr. Frere and Mr. Edwardes, the retiring directors, were re-elected. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. BUFFALO AND LAKE lIMION. The report of the directors stated that in the Grand Trunk accounts the amount payable to this company was put down ht £15,424, an amount not yet agreed to by the board. Out of a gross revenue of £609,000, after paying £6,050 to the Champlain Company, little more than £85,000 remained as net profit, being scarcely 15 per cent. As compared with the traffic for the half -year ending June, 1866, the gross revenue had decreased £28,000. The extra renewal outlay had increased £28,000, being £54,000 against £26,000. The ordinary working expenses had increased £26,ooo—from 63 to 70 per cent. The loss on American exchange had increased by £7,000, and by fire at Sarnia and Toronto to £lO,OOO, making the deductions in excess of the correspond ing period of last year £99,000. The receipts for the half-year ending June 30 were generally from £BO,OOO to £lOO,OOO less than during the autumn half, so that for the whole year a larger amount of net profit might be expected. Since August 1, 1864, the date of joining the Grand Trunk Company, the Buffalo proprietors had paid towards the extra re newal fund £64,249, and in addition £38,013 as their proportion of the loss on American exchange, together £102,262 ; a sum more than sufficient to have paid all preference dividends in full during the past three years. The directors regretted that the differences existing in the accounts between the two companies had not all as yet been adjusted. The present financial position of the company was £5,000 paid by the Grand Trunk Company on August 29, which was remitted to the company's bankers in liquidation of advances towards the payment of coupon interestdue in Febru:try last. The company's resources towards the payment of the coupons now due amounting to £20,000, were £5,000 payment by the Grand Trunk Company, Oct. 23, handed over to the bondholders' trastees ; £9,000 claim for per centage of Grand Trunk expenses from August 1, 1864, to June 30, 1867, in London and Canada ; ,C 5,000 overcharged on extra weight of rails, £5,000 unexpended on bridge account ; total, £24,000. In addition, four months' revenue was in the hands of the Grand Trunk Company, say from the Ist of July to the 31st of October, which, being the most productive half year, could not be estimated at less than £16,000 to date. The Board trusted to be in fuudsshortly, to meet the coupon payment now over due. It was the opinion of the Board that monthly payments should be made on account of revenue due to this company, and the directors would continue to press this subject on the attention of the Grand Trunk Buard. The capital account showed that £1,622,781 had been expended.

THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE METROPO LITAN RAIL TAY OnWednesday Dr. Lankester resumed his inquest upon the body of Elizabeth Stainsby, whose death was alleged to have been caused or accelerated by foulness of the air in the tunnels of the underground railway. The deceased was suffering from disease of the heart at the time of her death. Professor Rodgers, lecturer on medical jurispru dence and chemistry, was the first witness, and at his request the evidence of Dr. Popham as to the appearance of the body was read to him. _ _ _ Dr. Popham added that he had found the de ceased was tightly laced, the effect of which would be to compress the chest and to impede the free action of the lungs. _ _ Professor Rolgers read a report which be had made upon samples of air taken on four different occasions from the tunnels of the Metropolitan Railway, and also from various other tunnels. The air in its pure condition contained 2,080 volumes of oxygen per 10,000, and from 3.7 to 6.2 of car bonicacid. On Sept. 4he found that in the worst tunel (i.e., Gower-street) there were 1,870 measures of oxygen, and there was but a slight trace of car bonic acid. The highest amount of carbonic acid he had found on any one occasion was 18.7 per 10,000 ; but the atmosphere of a theatre four feet above the stage was 23.7. The slight deficiency of oxygen which he found would not act injuriously even upon delicate persons passing as they did rapidly through the tunnel in trains. He thought that under the circumstances under which the deceased entered the train that was to say, considering that she had eaten heartily, wa's tightly laced, had diseased heart, and was already faint before she entered the tunnel—her death had resulted from natural causes. Perceived the odour of sulphurous acid in the Gower-street Station ; but the highest quantity that witness found was 1 part in 23,000, which was not more than would be given by a match lighted in that room. Thought there might be more sulphurous acid at one time than another ; but there was sufficient ven tilation to prevent the accumulation to any injuri ous extent of gases which would be prejudicial to the public health. Thought that the railway might be employed with perfect safety ; and witness would not mind going up and down the line any number of times a day. None of the servants of the com pany had made any complaint to witness. The Coroner—Then you would not mind staying in the tunnel all day—that is if you were hand somely paid for it? (Laughter). Witness—lt is not an atmosphere one would choose constantly to reside iu ; but it may be ad vantageously compared with that of other tunnels and crowded places. The Coroner said he was exceedingly glad that the inquiry had been held, for it had conclusively shown that however oppressive the atmosphere of the tunnels might at times seem it did not contain anything that was really dangerous or prejudicial to health. The jury, without hesitation, found a verdict a Died from natural causes." The Recent Elections in the United States The last mail left the United States in a ferment Bonfires blazed and crackers fizzed, bells pealed, and cannon roared, innumerable drinks were mixed, and a great business done at the bars, for the " Key stone" State had proclaimed in the Pennsylvania majority for Democracy that the tide had turned strongly against the hitherto triumphant Republican party. Ohio had followed suit, and in lowa the effect was seen by a largely decreased Republican majority. The ruling party has been amazed and staggered by the result, and their opponents may well be jubilant, fur the strength of the reaction has been far in excess of anything they anticipated. Let no one henceforth proclaim his knowledge of the national mind. We have seen how Mr. JOHNSON blundered when he undertook to gauge the opinion of his countrymen. We now see how fatally the great Radical leaders have been in error in the extremes to which they pushed their party, and we may learn the strength of the moderate Conserva tism of the country, which will neither permit negro ascendancy—the substitution of a military for a civil rule--the impeachment of a President without the gravest reason—nor the unchecked supremacy of Congress. however disagreeable this bitter lesson may be to the great party whose principles are still, and will continue to be held by a large ma jority in the United States, yet we believe that the electoral body has acted wisely in pulling up with a round turn the extreme Radicals who have drifted their party towards ruin. By all lovers of order, by all upholders of Constitutional Government, this strong expression of the people's opinion will be hailed with pleasure. Within little more than a year both parties have been taught the value of moderation. President JOHNSON knows what came of his threats against Congress. The Radical leaders now know what is likely to come of their threats against the PRESIDENT. Both, if they be wise, will moderate their language as well as their measures, and curb with a strong rein the more violent of their leaders. There is something amus ing in the sudden wrench received by a few candi dates. But the other day the Hon. BEN. WADE was planning what he would do when seated in the Presidential chair pending the trial of the late in cumbent. He had hinted in his celebrated Kansas speech at a redistribution of property, and visions of the grandest scramble ever seen, of which he was to be author, and all things in the United States, the prizes, may have flitted before his imaginative mind. But alas for the instability of politicians, the Democrats have secured a majority in the Legis lature of Ohio, and he will soon be ousted even from his place in the Senate. General HAvEs, a gallant officer, with a record of which any man may be proud, beloved and respected in his State of Ohio, resigned his place in Congress to stand for Gover nor. Ile felt certain of success, but the latest Re publican papers, spoke of his defeat as probable. We believe he has been elected, but by a majo rity so small that ho must owe his success to his personal qualities and antecedents, rather than to his Republican principles. The Democratic candidate, Judge SHARSWOOD, was elected by Pennsylvania over the Republican candidate, Judge HENRY WILLIAms as Judge of the Supreme Court by a majority of from 1 to 5,000. So say some, but later intelligence is said to have re versed this, as Western Pennsylvania had turned the Democratic victory, and thrown her vote so strongly into the opposite scale that WILLIAMS had been elected by 1,286 majority. Judge SHARSWOOD is an eminent lawyer, who has long held the post for which he is a candidate for re-election. To have ousted him in favour of WILLIAms would have been a mere party move, to which many strong Repub licans might well have objected, and in seeking to do so the party has probably met with a well-merited defeat. It was also said that the returns from Ilarrisburgh gave 20 Republicans and 13 Democrats in the State Senate, and in the House 55 Republicans to 45 Democrats, which would leave a working majarity to the Republicans in Pennsylvania. But matters were still uncertain, though the latest reports were balancing the Demo cratic gains. But if the feeling of the country be not cheery for the violent Radicals it is now believed the Republican party have a stronger and more decided friend in General GRANT than they hail hitherto imagined. Not only does General SHERIDAN say he is more Radioal than he is, but de- clare3 that his administration in Linisiana was under rather than in excess of the instructions and wishes of the Commander-in-Chief. But the strongest testimony of his sentiments is given by the lion. E. B. WAsmlettNE in his recent speech in Illinois. We have elsewhere alluded to his infor mation that the country may rely upon the fact that no batter nor firmer friend of the Congres sional policy lives than General GRAN;. These are the two most likely to know, as they arc GRANT'S closest and most intimate friends. If so, and GIANT can be persuaded to stand for the Presidency on the Republican ticket, the Presidential election can scarcely be other than in favour of the Republican party. So elated are the Democrats by their recent victories that they talk of nominating General APCLELLAN. In defeat, each party turns to GRANT, in victory each seems inclined to aban- THE SUN, LONDON,. FRIOA EVENING, NOVEMBER 1, 1867. don bim in favour of a man who goes more strongly for their party. The greater the Republican de feats the more tenaciously will they cling to the General, and Wei believe whatever may be the drift of opinion, that GRANT will be next President, if he lives, and does not decisively reject the offer. In a recent conversation on this subject the General said f it should seem to be the will of PROVIDENCE and the desire of the American people that he should be PRESIDENT, he would not feel at liberty to resist the one, nor to disappoint the other. The Nova Scotia brings news of a mass meeting of Republicans., held at Philadelphia on Monday, 14th inst., when General GRANT V;(0,3 nominated for the Presidency, which tends to confirm what we have advanced, as it was at Philadelphia that the Democrats cast so strong a majority in the late elections.—Amo merican 7 in►es. Abatto'rs for the Metropolis. The corporation of London have now under con sideration a scheme for erecting, at an estimated ex pense of £36,550, a number of additional slaughter houses at the Metropolitan Cattle-market, with all the necessary conveniences, and with the ultimate object of connecting them by railway with the new Meat and Poultry Market which the city authorities are now erecting in Smithfield. The subject has been investigated by their Markets Committee, who have made a report upon it to the Court of Com mon Council, and embodying the results of a visit made by the chairman (Mr. Rudkin) and the city architect to the abattoirs in Paris, Edinburgh, and at Liverpool. Their attention has been directed to cer tain provisions in the Building Act, under the opera tion of which many of the present slaughterhouses in the metropolis will in the year 1874 cease to exist. They have also had under consideration the provi sions of the Newgate-market Abolition Act, under which the various slaughterhouses in the vicinity of that market will, in all probability, be removed ; and, having regard to the strong increasing feeling, not only on the part of the Government and the Legislature, but also of the public at large, that every possible means should be adopted to prevent, as far as practicable, the driving of cattle through the streets of the metropolis, they are of opinion that it is high-ly desirable that additional slaughterhouses should be erected at the Metropolitan Cattle-market. The necessity for such an arrangement, as a preventive mea sure, has been impressed upon the civic authorities by circumstances arising out of the cattle plague. The site that has commended itself to them for the purpose is a piece of ground, about eight acres in extent, on the east side of the market contiguous to the Great Northern Railway, and sufficient for 55 slaughterhouses ; but the city architect, who has prepared the necessary plans and estimates, only recommends the immediate erection of 22, with all the necessary appurtenances, and the construction of a wharf and other works with a view to their future communication with the Great Northern line, whenever that shall be agreed upon by the corporation and the company. Ile has also sub mitted to the committee a small general plan of Lon don and its suburbs, with the site of the existing market at Islington, and all the various lines of railway round or through the metropolis, show ing clearly that convenient communication could readily be made with the market and abattoirs and the country generally, as well as the metropolis itself. When in Paris he and the chairman of the committee inspected the old abattoirs, and also a very large new one, partly erected and in use, and partly in progress, which when complete, they say, will supply the whole of the French metropolis, and consequently supplant all others. It is de signed after a plan similar to that of the old abattoirs, and neither care nor expense has been spared to render it perfect. Various other abat toirs iu different cities and towns of the Continudt have a'so been built, following generally, in character and arrangement, those of Paris, but the city architect considers those in Edinburgh the most perfect, though of course on a much smaller scale than anything of the kind required iu London. For the estimated outlay of £36,550 the architect calcu lates that an annual revenue of about £1,680 would probably be derived by the corporation from the slaughterhouses proposed to be erected in conjunc tion with the Metropolitan Cattle-market. The proposal has yet to be confirmed by the Court of Common Council, but, having regard to the ad vantages likely to accrue from it in practice in a sanitary point of view, and Especially as tending to the cessation of cattle driving through the public streets, there can be little doubt that it will receive a favourable consideration from them. HORRIBLE 7REATMENT OF EUROPEANS BY SAVAGES. The Foreign Office has received a despatch from Sir 11. St. George Ord, the Governor-General of Penang, detailing the result of an expedition to the Nicobar Islands to rescue some European women and children captured by the natives, and to punish them for the numerous murders of crews of vessels which endeavoured to trade with the natives. The despatch, which is very voluminous, is addressed to his Grace the Duke of Buckingham, and is dated " Government House, Penang, Aug. 20, 1867." It appears that the last act of atrocity was com mitted on a Liverpool merchant -.vessel called the Futtay Islam, trading to Nicobar Islands, when she was attacked by the natives, and 21 out of 24 of her crew were murdered. This and many other massacres led to a determina. tion on the part of the governor to punish the natives, but the Nicobar Islands being just without the limits of the China station, the senior naval officer did not feel justified in permitting one of her Majesty's ships to proceed on a duty beyond its limits. Subsequently the Government of India acquiesced, but prior to an expedition being sent the governor instructed Captain Bedingfield, R.N., in command of H.M.S. Wasp, to proceed to the coast, accompanied with proper interpreters, to make in quiries respecting the reported atrocities. That officer proceeded on his mission, and learnt beyond doubt that the reports of the murders were correct; and, further, that white women and children were held in captivity by the natives, and were exposed to the greatest brutality. The governor thereupon resolved on despatching her Majesty's ships Satellite and Wasp to endeavour to rescue any captives and punish the perpetrators of the outrages, and to take such steps as would ha press upon the natives generally the danger of con tinuing their piratical attacks. The despatch thus proceeds : "The ships returned to Penang about ten days since, and the substance of the reports, which will be sent in detail to the Admiralty, is as follows : They first visited the island of Great Nicobar, whore they discovered ample evidence of the islanders having been the authors of the attack on the Futtay Islam. . . No natives were seen, and no communica tion could be held with them. The village in which these relics and those of other ill-fated vessels were found Was burned to the ground, and a placard stating why their town had been burnt was affixed to the trees for the information of the natives. The expedition then visited the central group, and experienced the greatest difficulty in communicating with the natives, although promised that if they trave up any captives they should not be m)lested. They were too conscious of their misdeeds to be willing to trust themselves in the power of the ship. One of the natives, however, who was in the expedition ascertained beyond a doubt that a white woman and her two children had been a few months before alive on the island. The unhappy lady is supposed to have been the wife of some per son on board one of the ships seized by the savages about two years since. She gave birth to a child almost immediately after her capture, and after suffering the most terrible indignities, on its becom ing known that she had been seen by the merchant captain before alluded to, it was considered dan gerous to allow her to live. After an ineffectual attempt to poison her and the two . children, they • were mercifully released from further suffering by being taken into the j angleand knocked on the head. The principal actor in this tragedy eva led capture and got away to the island of Katcheive, where, from its inac essihle character, he was safe from pur -1 suit. He is said to have carried with him a white woman and two children. One of the little children, however, after great exertion, was rescued and is now in my charge. On searching the villages, although they had been very careful to remove, as far as possible, everything that could give a clue to the detection of particular piracies, enough was found in the way of tools, seamen's chests, cabin fittings, and ship stores to show that a large number of vessels had been, from time to time, plundered by them, and as no wrecks wore visible, it is almost certain these things were obtained from vessels cap tured and afterwards mink in deep water, a pro ceeding which they admitted they always adopted in these c ices. Enough was, however, dis covered to justify the expedition inflicting on the natives a severe retribution for their crimes, and the officers and men accordingly proceeded to destroy their houses and canoes, many of which were war canoes, 70 feet long. The cocoanut trees, \vith the produce of which they carried on their trade, were, in compliance with the Governor-General's sugges tion, spared. After compl&ing their work at the central group as far as was considered necessary, the man Johnson (the native who had accompanied the expedition) was put ashore, a promise being held out that if he disclosed all he knew his pro perty would be spared. lie was entrusted by Capt. Bedingfield with a book, in which was written in English and Malay a notification that the natives of the islands had been guilty of acts of piracy, plundering vessels, murdering their crews, and carrying off white women and children, who, after the vilest treatment, were put to death. This book was left with Johnson, to be shown to captains of men-of-war and merchant vessels visiting the island, who are requested to write in it the particulars of each ship's visit. The utmost efforts of the expe dition to obtain any trace of the names of the four ships which, by the admission of the savages, have been captured and plundered, proved ineffectual. Although unsuccessful in rescuing the people who were iu captivity, it is satisfactory to know they have been released from their terrible sufferings by death, and although there aro possibly still some more persons in captivity, they are probably of a class not much above that of the natives themselves, and therefore their condition is not one of extreme hardship. I deem it of great importance to the future security of passing and trading ships that the islands should be frequently visited by men-of-war. If her Majesty's Government should be pleased to instruct me to hoist the British flag on these islands, I believe such an act would be attended with the best results, and would probably lead to the early settlement of a people desirous of turning to account their prolific soil." REPUDIATION-THE APPEAL 10 LATV. General Bu run's argument for Repudiation is of so clangorous a nature that it cannot be too care fully investigated and exposed. When men cover fraud by law they do a twofold injury—they cheat _ _ their fellows and cheat law also. It is possible for a man who has committed a murder to make his crime, though regarded by law as the worst, three times more criminal. Suppose, for instance, he succeeded in fastening the guilt on an innocent person, and permitted that person to ba executed. The first murder could scarcely be so wicked as the last, nor anything like so injurious in its moral effect. Justice should not only be pure, but unerring, and even when not so, still should have the semblance. Shake general confidence in the administration of the law, put a fool on the judo ment-seat, and idiots in the jurors' box, and the court becomes the arena for knavish lawyers, with thieves and blackguards for clients,—how long then would society hold together? Generally, before a man carries his case to a judge, he persuades himself that law and justice are on his side. Yet he accepts the judge's decision though against him, unmurtnur ingly, when he believes in his impartiality and in the wisdom of the law, though the points on which the judge grounded his decision may not be under- stool. Undermine this confidence, and the man goes forth to the world with a grievance to swell the crowd of unsuccessful litigants. Henceforth a wrong festers in his heart, for the law, which ought to right all, becomes the means of wrong. A cheat perpetrated through its agency is doubly prejudicial, for it not only injures those robbed, but injures the whole coammuity. When, therefore, General BUTLER attempts to cover by the laws of the United States the robbery of the nation's creditor, he strikes two blows the heaviest at the source of justice. If the United States repudiated openly and without advancing reasons, the injury would not be so great as under shelter of the law. the act of an unreasoning mob might account for the former, while the latter would bear an interpretation more lastingly prejudicial to the nation's honour, and therefore to its interests. If the law can be construed to justify repudiation, the borrower who made that law will be accused of having deliberately introduced the flaw with the intent to take advantage. Now what does this mean ? It implies that the Government, aided and abetted by the representatives of the people, deliberately and with malice aforethought, concocted a scheme to defraud ; that they gave cur rency and effect to that fraud by written de clarations, untruthfully advanced by their re sponsible ministers, and on the strength of these promises, and a belief in the nation's honour, obtained both at home and abroad the supplies they needed. General BUTLER argues that it was not without intention that the framers of the Act introduced the words " Shall be paid in lawful money." If he be correct, he accuses the legislators of the United States of a crime from which every honest man shrinks with abhorrence for he insinuates that those elected by their country men to represent the nation and transact its business, deliberately planned and perpetrated a fraud. It is apparent to all that the lenders gave on the clearly understood condition that they were to receive back, when convenient for the nation to repay, within a certain fixed period in the metals which pass current among nations as money. These loans were offered to all, and lawful money implies the same thing in every civilised land. It is of coarse practicable for Congress to enact that anything be lawful money. They might stamp on the soles of old shoes a nomi nal sum, and hand them to their creditors as lawful money ; but in doing so they would be violating in a hateful way their contract and cheating their creditors. No arguments, no precedent, no national legal right could change, even to the mind of the most unsophisticated, the simple nature of such a transaction. It would still remain an impudent and barefaced theft. It is vain for General BUTLER to urge that the holders of the Five-Twenty Bonds would still be gainers if paid in greenbacks. He can no more tell what the effect would be of the measure he proposes than any one else. Greenbacks might sink to the level of the old shoes, or United States' promises to pay might still retain some value. This is a question on which he has no right whatever to enter. The lenders con* tracted to receive within a certain period a fixed quantity of an article, and they have a right to receive that, and nothing else. It is just possible that:the discovery of a mountain of gold might reduce materially within the specified period the value of the thing they were to receive. This would be no fault of the contractor on the other side—it would be his good fortune, as he would thus be enabled to fulfil his engagement on easier terms than he expected. On the other hand, the scarcity of the article might make it difficult for him to redeem his pledge. But this is no argument for substituting anotherarticle, although General BLYTLEtt endeavours to make it one. The gain or to sof the nation's creditors in this bargain is not the subject to discus?, though we might observe that the steady fall in the value of gold may in twenty years reduce the debt to little more than half its present value. Of this the creditors take their chance, and they would have as little right to insist on the United States paying them in something else to make good such loss as the United States have now to pay them in old shoes. When men of honour enter into a contract, and the terms are clearly understood however imperfectly expressed in writing, they endeavour to fulfil the engagement acccrding to the spirit. If both parties gain largely, so much the better ; but if one accepting the advantage tries to deprive the other of his share, he acts dishonourably ; and if, being strong in law, he avails himself of the written terms to make the law a pirty to his fraud, he perpetrates a hateful crime, which involves every one in the consequences. But is he strong in law ? This question has been ably discussed by a corres pondent of the Boston Advertiser, signing himself " \V. E."—a letter which has appeared in the London papers—and by the Notion in an article which we transfer to our columns. These docu ments are conclusive on the subject, and General BuTLEu has made . no attempt to answer " W. E." The spirit and intention of the law bring clear, and even the strict letter favourable to the bondholders, no appeal to it will be made ; and while we continue our discussion on this subject, we 410 so with the firm conviction that no argument for repudiation or par ing down the National Debt will ever be seriously listened to iu the United States. What, then, is the use of the discussion ? We believe it to have been a most ill-ad vised and injurious question to raise, but being raised for a political object the injury has been effected, and the best means of counteraction is by full ventilation. There are few in Europe who either have invested in 5-20 Bonds or con sidered the advisability of such purchase, who have not carefully weighed Mr. BUTLER'S arguments. The open repudiator advises the measure, view ing it from a financial stand-point—the legal repudiator stands on the strict letter of the law, and it is well worth a careful inquiry what the value is of the argument in both cases. The question in the United States involves two points—first, the matter of gain or loss ; second, that of right and honour. On both we believe the answer to be conclusive. As a financial question it would be madness in the United States to introduce any measure of repudiation. The question of right and honour is so clear that no sophistry can cloud it. But of all means to accomplish the end the re pudiators have iu view an appeal to law would be so palpably and clearly foolish that we dismiss it as wholly improbable.— Anglo-..4nzer ic an, llmes. THF LA7 E FRACAS A 7 NEIV IZKET. The disgraceful proceedings on the part of certain jockeys at Newmarket, on the Cambridgeshire-day, aro about to ferns the subject of a series of inquiries in the police courts, and will doubtless furnish considerable em ployment to the gentlemen of the long robe. The first of these inquiries took place at the Newmarket Petty Sessions, on Tuesday,wheu Henry Parry and Thomas Cannon, two well-known jockeys, were charged (before Mr. J. Dobede and Major Fryer) with having assaulted Mr. James Lethbridge Templar, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Numerous statements as to the circumstances of the affair have been published, but the statement of )till. Tem plar himself, as deposed to before the magistrates on oath, was to the following effect :—Tho complainant was for merly a student at Cambridge, and now resides at Harrow, and as he was visiting at the house of a friend, Mr. Bou yon, in the neighbourhood of Newmarket, ho and that gentleman wont on to the heath together on the Cam bridgeshire-day to witness the racing. When one of the races was being run, a servant of the Prince of Wales very indiscreetly rode across the course, and two of the competing horses, named Water Cure and Easby, came in collision with the horse the servant was riding. A general "spill" was the result. Mr. Templar and his friend hap pened to be near the spot at which the accident occurred, and, after making an ineffectual attempt to secure Water Cure, who had broken away and was galloping along the course without a rider, Mr. Templar wont to the otherhorso, who waslying on the ground apparently injured, and with a man sitting on his head to keep him down. Mr. Templar understands something about horses, and he suggested that it would be better for the animal to be got up, and the man having moved from his bead he took hold of the bridle and got him up. After leading him a short distance along the course a groom came up and claimed the horse as be longing to his stable, and Mr. Templar at once gave him up. The horse, however, staggered a good deal, and ap peared much injured ; and Mr. Templar was accompany ing him along the course, walking within a yard of his hind quarters, when Parry, who was on a hack, rode between him and Easby, the horse striking the complainant's shoulder and twisting him round. Parry at the same time used the expression, "I suppose you aro some vete rinary." He took no notice of this ; but upon Parry re peating the act, ho said, " You needn't ride over a fellow." Upon Parry attempting to do it again, Mr. Templar laid his hand on the bridle of the horse to prevent his being ridden over, when he immediately rec,:ived a severe blow on the head from Parry's whip. Almost at the same moment he was struck in another direction, ho believed by Cannon. Tho defendants were then joined by other jockeys and a mob of roughs, some mounted and some on foot, and he was knocked about on all parts of his head and body with riding whips and fists. On attempting to make his escape ho was pursued by the mob, who rode him down and actually rode over him, beating him :severely while upon the ground. One of the horses also trod upon his body. Ho was at length joined by his friend Mr. Benyon, who was also assaulted ; and both made off towards tho en closure, where they were again pursued by the mob, who raised the cry of " welchers," and they had to run the gauntlet through a shower of blows, ultimately succeeding in gaining the enclosure, from which, however, they narrowly escaped being turned out upon suspicion that they were really " welchers." Mr. Templar was then taken in Sir Robert Pigot's carriage to the Rutland Arms Hotel, where ho was attended by Mr. Fairclotb, surgeon, who found him suffering from numerous severe bruises and contusions on his head and various parts of his body, and an injury to the groin which it is feared may produce hernia. Aft or the magistrates had heard the evidence of the com plainant, Mr. Bevan, Mr. Faircloth, and a clerk in the telo graph-office, who spoke to the part taken by Cannon, a consultation took place as to the proper course of proceed ing, tho result of which was an agreement on both sides that it would be better that the case should bo sent to the Cambridgeshire Quarter Sessions for trial ; and the further examination of witnesses (of which there aro a great number) was adjourned until Monday, the 25th November in order to suit the conveniance of all parties concerned. Mr. Salmon, of Bury, is the attorney for the prosecution, and the defence is entrusted to Mr. W. 0. Kitchener, of Newmarket. Admiral Farragut's Reception in England We doubt whether a foreign sailor has yet been received in England with the marked respect and cordiality extended to Admiral FARRAGUT. The American Admiral combines in his own person both the highest rank and the most distinguished services of any officer afloat. His official post corresponds with that of Lord High Admiral in England, which has not been filled since 1828. Like General GRANT Admiral FARRAGUT had his grade created for him. The United States carried into the profession of arms the Republican notions which restricted the elevation of men above their fellows. Each succes sive war has compelled the Republic to extend its grades upwards. It is found necessary, however strong might be the Republican prejudice, to make rank correspond with command. Whatever might be the designation, practical experience taught the Government the necessity of increasing the number of grades, and as it could not go lower it had to go higher. The officer at the head of a fully ap pointed army exceeding 100,000 men might be termed a Brigadier-General, but then what were his suborbinates to be termed until the end of the scale was reached where the command consisted of four or five soldiers? The junior ranks could not be abolished, for small parties must constantly be detached, and one must assume the command. As the army swelled in number, the requirement increased for the more elevated grades of the armies of Europe. 'Thus SCOTT and GRANT reached posts created for them, and never before held by American officers. So also with the navy, where it was seen to be as requisite to make the rank correspond with the command, and Repub lican notions had to give way when the absurdity was apparent of sending to sea the most powerful fleets under the command of a Commodore. The brilliancy of the services of such soldiers as GRANT and such sailors as FAR.RAG UT not only reconciled the people to the innovation, but made them urge its adoption. They wished to re.vard their faithful servants, and to pl Lee their most renowned war riors in ranks corresponding to the highest con ferred. More especially was the necessity for this felt in the navy, where the duties of the officers, brought them into contact with the naval commanders of other nations, and into foreign ports. Thus it happens that Admiral FARRAGUT has risen by a series of the most splendid victories, and of services to his country, which cannot be exaggerated, to the highest naval rank now held. The brilliancy of his career would, under any circumstances, have secured for the American Admiral the most respect ful greeting, but where etiquette reigns supreme, as in the navies of the world, high rank was re quired to give full scope to hospitable intentions and honours. The Lords of the British Admiralty seized on this rare opportunity (for a seaman of this rank is seldom afloat), to mark not only their ,~, ~--. own admiration, but that of the country they repre sent, for the distinguished sailor, and for the navy to which he belongs. It was intended as a sponta neous tribute of the English people to the gallant navy of their cousins across the Atlantic ; and we are assured that Admiral FA►;RAGUT and his brethren in arms felt it so, and no mere olliciJl parade. That no such reception has hitherto been accorded due to the fact that no such opportunity bad before been offered. Since the deal body of NEL ;ON teas landed in mournful triumph in England, it has; not fallen to the lot of a British sailor to achieve the successes of AJiuiral FARRAUUL Officers of the highest social rank have been received at Eng- lish ports with thundering salutes and visits of ceremony, official details accorded as a matter of course. Admiral FARIZAGUT'S reception was one of a totally different kind, lie carried with him the marked respect of all classes, but more especially of the British navy, those best able to appreciate his exploits. This was shown in the most unmistake able manner from that unimpressionable body the Board of Admiralty, down to the tars who manneil the yards. It was this heartiness to which we desire to draw the especial attention of our contem poraries over the water, as it means more than is at a glance apparent. The British navy is trained in the conviction that the true sailor is the product alone of England. Science may enable foreign nations to build vessels to compete, or they may be purchased from the yards of the English shipwright. But the crews, in his opinion, differ as widely as ever, those of other navies being but a poor imita tion of his own. The Prussian, the Russian, the Austrian, even the French, are but soldiers afloat, and the only country the crews of whose ships he really respects, is America. It would be impossible for men so trained to give the same reception to any other navy that they accorded to the American. There might be any amount of cere monial, noise, and smoke ; but there would be wanting that innate feeling, as they met on the decks of each other's ships, that they were extending the hand of hospitality to men who as foes were worthy of their steel. Whether in war or in peace this feeling is distinctively marked when the Anglo- Saxon race meets another. Those they despise — whether as ally or foe—may perceive it, for it is clearly enough shown, either in the bivouack of their own camp, or whore outlying pickets peace ably mingle as they sometimes do with those of the enemy. The fierce conflict, instead of engendering hatred, appears to excite respect, and it was iu tribute to this feeling that the American squadron met in England with so warm a welcome. It has often been noticed that her MAJESTY'S ships of war avoid American ports. Whether this be by design is not for us to say ; but if so, we may now hope to have seen the end of the folly. There are no people more hospitable than Americans. 1 30 the visitors distinguished in literature, in art, in arms, or merely in rank, they unite in bearing tes timony to the genuine cordiality and hospitality of their reception. 'Why, then, should the British Navy form an exception? We feel assured, and British officers may rely on the fact, that the next ship of war that visits any great port of the United States will meet with a hearty greeting. Ships of the United States navy visit every port of the British empire, and her MAJESTY'S vessels cruising off the American coast, instead of avoiding the ports, should lose n° opportunity of anchoring there and exchanging hospitalities. It is desirable that relations of respect and friendship should grow between the two navies of the world, having sprung from the samestock, speaking the same language, and there fore offering greater facilities for kindly intercou rse. It is then the more fortunate that the admiral w ho rules, and who is likely, if he lives, for years to r ule, the navy of which he is the darling, was the reci pient of this cordial greeting, and of which we h o p ° Ile will retain a lasting and pleasing remembra nce. —Anglo-American Times. greatest COUNTRY MARKETS.
