SYMPATHY WITH THE POPE. A meeting, to which admission was had by ticket, was held last evening in St. James's-hall, to express sympathy with the Pope. The room, including the upper gallery, was crowded in every part, and the proceedings throughout were of a most enthusiastic character. Archbishop MANNING, who was cheered again and again by the upstanding audience upon taking the chair, said—About this time last year a meeting was held for the confraternity of St. Peter, but this year they had deviated from their intention to hold a similar meeting on account of an event which he must characterise as an outrage and a sacrilege. (Cheers.) The present meeting,which was one of the Catholics of the diocese of Westminster and South wark, and not of the entire country, was called for the purpose of expressing sympathy with the Holy Father at the outrage and sacrilege which had been levelled against his sacred office. Every Catholic, when he heard of the events of the last two months, must have felt an indignation that could hardly be restrained ; and he for one felt that it must be the desire of every Catholic to have an opportunity of giving utterance to his feelings. Such an opportu nity was nobly taken advantage of in Dublin, where an example had been set which English Catholics ought to follow. In a short time about 11,000 sig natures had been received asking for the present meeting. We had lately heard a great deal about Italian government, Italian unity, national aspira tions, non-intervention, the Governments of Cavour, Ricasoli, and Rattazzi ; but there wa.s a person who had hitherto not been invited to speak. That person was named the other day for the first time for many years in a despatch of the French Foreign Minister—it was the Catholic world. (Loud cheers.) They had been living in a cloud of abstractions and personages not known to them, while one most intimately known to their consciences and hearts had hitherto not expressed his judgment and will. They were a small number, it might be, in England, but as the base of their operations they had a Catholic nation at their side. The King of Prussia, the other day, with that grave common sense which characterised the German race, said very wisely that he trusted the Roman question would be settled in accordance with the legitimate desires of his Catholic subjects, and in a way which would secure the dignity and independence of the head of their religion. As Catholics they could not forget that they were six millions more or less of the population of Great Britain, and he could not but think that the legitimate desires of such a number of subjects of Queen Victoria ought to be heard. He trusted that the Catholic nation of Ireland would not fail to express its sense of what was due to the desires of the Catholic people, and to the dignity and independence of the head of their religion. He was no politician, and, having a divided flock, he had considered it his duty to be politically perfectly neutral. If it ever became a question of principle he would engage in any contest which it might require, and he would say at once that he considered a ques tion of principle to be anything which touched the free exercise of the Catholic religion in the people, and the dignity and independence of the Holy Father. The purpose of the meeting he took to be to begin such an expression of opinion as might traverse England and Ireland, be taken up in France, Prussia, Bavaria, in all the Catholic and half-Catholic countries of Europe, in our colonies,f and in the United States, so that the voice o. the Catholic world might be heard at last (Cheers.) Their object was, first, to deny that Rome was the capital of Italy, and to declare that it was the capital of Christendom ; secondly, to deny that the Italian nationality might absorb the patrimony of the Church, and therefore to affirm that the patrimony of the Church was sacred, and ought to be guaranteed by Christian Europe; thirdly, to deny that if the Pope was protected by any Christian power, he was thereby a vassal of that Power, and to say that it was the duty of every Christian Power to protect, if need be in war, the head of the Christian world. (Cheers.) Their purpose further was to say that every Catholic on earth had a right in Rome as the head of the spiritual world ; more than this, they had a right in the temporal condition of the head of the Church, and of the state he held ; and though the head of the Church—the Sovereign Pontiff Pius IX. —as he had heard him say again and again, did not value the title of sove reign, nor the possession of territory and revenue, except as a condition of the free, independent, and efficacious exercise of his sacred ministry, though he counted all temporal things as Peter counted his boat and nets ; nevertheless he considered and declared that it was his duty to lay down his life rather than abandon the charge committed to him. (Applause, and " Three cheers for the Pope !") They were in that hall also to affirm that, as all Catholics throughout the world had rights in Rome, they had a right to protect the Christian order of the world, and the head and centre of that order, against the twofold antagonism of a blasphemous and sacrilegious revolution—(" Bravo," and cheers) —and national aspirations in the way of which were two barriers set up, not by man, but by God ; one being the mandate, " Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house ;" the other, " Cursed be he who retnoveth his neighbour's landmark." (Cheers.) They were able now to say that the oppressed sub jects of the Holy Father—those degraded, miser able, abject people—(laughter)—had no desire at all for the liberators of Monte Rotondo. (Cheers.) This was confessed by the organs of their own press. (The chairman here read an extract from La Ri forma, showing that the opponents of the Papal arms received no help from the people, and proceeded.) And that help was not forthcoming, because those who did not receive it profaned the sanctuaries of God, the vessels, the altars, and the blessed Sacra ment, and because, as murderers and blasphemers, they went breathing slaughter and blood against the priests and servants of the most High God. (The chairman then read two letters from Italy, showing that it was the intention of the Garibaldians to sack all the churches and massacre all the priests—the mention of Garibaldi, or Gari baldians, being now and at allsubsequent occasions received with groans and hisses.) He was sur prised to find that M. Geroult had the barbarism to say two days ago, in the Corps Legislatif, " Leave the Pope to protect himself, and in a fortnight the Roman question will be settled." (Hisses.) We bad been told in our own newspapers that the English Government was the best in the world— (loud groans)—and that the Government of Rome was the worst. (Renewed execrations, and three cheers for the Pope.) As an Englishman he would accept the first part of the sentence, leaving it how ever perfectly free to everybody in the room to exercise his undoubted right of private judgment. (Laughter.) The second portion of the sentence be utterly denied. The Government of the Holy Father he maintained to be an irreproachable, just, and merciful Government, and no insurrection or sedition could be committed against it, and no po litical rising could be perpetrated without incurring the sin and condemnation of rebellion. (Loud cheers.) He read with inexpressible surprise the other day in a public newspaper, written with great power and intellectual culture, that the re gard shown to Pius IX. was purely personal, that the temporal power of the Pope was domed after his lifetime, that it was well known that nine tenths of the cardinals were Italians, and that at the next election they would save their hats by throwing ovaboard the tiara. (Hisses.) He read this statement as a proof of the way in which men of great intellectual power became utterly blind when they attempted to deal with subjects beyond their sphere. If any one imagined that any conclave of cardinals, at any time, would elect any man who would become subject to any civil prince, and give up the absolute independence of the Vicar of Jesus Christ, and who would for the sake of peace abandon the patrimony of the church, those persons were more deluded than it was hardly possible to imagine. There was one succession amongst the rulers of the world over which the providence of God maintained h is special protection. Empires and kingdoms might dissolve themselves, but the succession and office of the Pontiff no human hand could take away. Unless the peace of the Church on earth was secured by Christian nations, no nation would have peace in itself. Unless this Roman question were settled there would be a perpetual strife. No Chris tian country would be at peace while the head of the Church was being outraged ; and if there was to be peace in Great Britain, it would only be by satisfying the profound religious sympathies of that vast proportion of British subjects who were vitally and intensely united to that revered head. No people, Christian but not Catholic, could be at rest until this matter was lifted from the contest of re volution to that dignified and just treatment which the head of the Christian church might demand from the hands of Christian statesmen hnd princes ; and Christian civilisation itself was at stake, for he be lieved no kingdom, empire, or people could violate the rights of the holy Catholic Church, or the head of that Church, without incurring these three con sequences—first, that the civil power would dese crate itself ; secondly, that the act of violation would generate all manner of disorder within itself, as in Italy at the present moment; and thirdly, that any people or government entering into conflict with the Christian Church and its august head would be smitten with a supernatural blight, and all its capi tal, and industry, and appliances of worldly pros perity would suddenly be found to rust, and be out of gear, while the busy hands of millions would refuse to work, from some mysterious illusion of their own, and would become discontented, famished, and dangerous. Let England take care how she entered upon such a career, for certain it was that if we entered into conflict to try strength with the Church of God we should fail. No king nor emperor had ever yet tried strength with the Roman Pontiff who had not been abased. There was in history no instance of king or conqueror for a thousand years who had been able permanently to dethrone the vicar of Jesus Christ, thus fulfilling the words of Christ Himself, " He that falleth upon that stone shall be broken ; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder." (Pro longed cheering.) The Rev. Dr. GRANT, Bishop of Southwark, said they all admired the Pope for the manner in which he had defended his position. He had suffered chiefly from his anxiety to adhere to principle and govern kindly. On his election he granted an amnesty to many who immediately after conspired to dethrone him. He promoted internal improve ment, and would have granted a constitution but that he was asked to proclaim a republic. The ne cessity of maintaining the independence of the Holy See we might understand, if not from the indepen dent position of our Judges, from that:of the district of Columbia, which, as Mr. Maguire had pointed out in his work, was the supreme arbiter of all the States of the Union. He concluded by moving the first resolution, as follows : " That we heartily sympathise with the Supreme Pontiff Pius IX. in his present trials, and hereby proclaim our abhorrence of the unjust and wicked attacks that have been made on his temporal sove reignty, which, legitimate in its origin and beneficial in its action, is entitled to the respect of all Chris tians, and is necessary for the free exercise of the sacred mission intrusted by God to the successors of St. Peter." Colonel VAUGHAN seconded the resolution. This was a time, he said, when an English Catholic was called upon, in self-respect, to proclaim his principles. He protested against the ungenerous, one-sided, in consistent course adopted by too large a portion of the press and the unthinking public on this question. The Irish-American Fenian raid upon Canada and the shooting of a policeman on his beat provoked indignation ; but the commission of such atrocities in the Papal States callei forth different sentiments —there was no indignation for the Garibaldian miscreants described in the letter read by the chair man. He could not understand how an English gentleman could have a code of honour for private conduct and another code for foreign politics. However, Englishmen were beginning to be unde ceived. The gallantry of the Papal army—(cheers) —the loyalty of the Romans—(cheers)—the defeat of the Garibaldians, and the ignoble conduct of Italy had, he hoped, undeceived Englishmen. (Cheers.) He attributed the manifestations of lawlessness in this country to the influence of our sympathy with revolution abroad, and thus ac counted for the Fenian proclivities of Radicalism ; and he concluded by paying a tribute, based on re cent personal observation, to the serenity of the Holy Father, and the earnest piety of his Zouaves, in speaking of whom we were apt to forget the ennobling influence of religion on the character of the soldier. The Earl of DENBIGH moved the second resolu tion, as follows : " That in the name of Catholicity we protest against the sacrilegious attempts made by the Go vernment of Victor Emmanuel to usurp the States of the Church, and to reduce the Sovereign Pontiff to the condition of a subject of an Italian Kingdom. We invite all Christians of every nation to rally round the throne of the Vicar of Christ to assert his rights, and to aid him, by every means at their command, to defend his States, the common inhe ritance of the whole Catholic Church." As an Englishman he felt ashamed of the words in which recent events in Italy were referred to in the Queen's Speech. As a Volunteer he protested against Garibaldians being called Volunteers any more than we should call housebreakers volunteers. On the authority of an English gentleman wbo, passing through Florence, was detained for a short time by the Government, and was imprisoned in a house opposite to a recruiting office, he asserted that Italian soldiers entered the office in their uniforms and came out in those of the Garibal dians. An illegal and unjust war was murder. Burke said a sign of a nation's decadence was the lenient designation of crime. We now called ban ditti " volunteers," and a wrong " an accomplished fact ;" but we spoke of the Pope's defenders as " mercenary cut-throats," notwithstanding the fact that many were members of the noblest families in France and Europe. On the ;field of Mentana a wounded Papal mercenary, being offered water, said "No, give it to the Garibaldian by my side ; he needs it more than I do." (Cheers.) Before Men tana, a Dutch Papal Zouave, who had killed 14 Garibaldians, fell exhausted, and was pierced by the bayonets of 17 Garibaldians, called " patriots." Such facts, which he vouched for, showed the ani mating spirit of the Pope's defenders and assailants. He admitted the bravery of Garibaldi, who was the "lion with the ass's head." There was to be a Conference to consider whether an honest man should be plundered. It would be a piece of jug glery, for the Pope must be independent, and a guarantee would be useless, judged from the past, and given by Italy—(laughter)--France, and Aus tria, who had no money to spare. He repudiated such a thing as a nationality, and said he was nothing but a Catholic—an Englishman, if they pleased, but a Catholic first. (Cheers.) Mr. Justice MERRY, formerly of the Supreme Court of New South Wales, seconded the motion. Lord ARUNDELL of WARDOUR moved the next resolution, as follows : " That, while we here congratulate all Catholics on their loyal attachment to the Holy Father, and ou the proofs they have given him of their sym pathy and filial affection, we solemnly protest against the calumnies and unjust attacks to which the Holy Father is subjected to day by day." Anticipating that the English Government might be called upon to express an opinion in connection with the impending Conference, he urged the importance of impressing the Government with the unanimity of the Catholics as to the necessity of maintaining the temporal power of the Pope. Mr. F. W. PROSSER seconded the motion, and maintained that the bulk of English Catholics were loyal to the Pope. There might be a base minority that were not, but they were very few. He charac terised much of the professed Liberalism which opposed Catholicism as insidious infidelity. Sir CHARLES CLIFFORD moved the fourth resolu tion, as follows : " That we hereby convey to the officers and soldiers of the Papal army and to their gallant allies the expression of our gratitude and admiration for the courage and devotedness displayed by them in the defence of the patrimony of St. Peter, and for the heroism with which they have discomfited its irreligious and revolutionary assailants." He maintained that English Catholi s were loyal, THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, DgCEMi3Eit 5, 1867. the more so that, like Protestants, they put the Church before the State. (Cheers.) Mr. WooDWARD seconded the resolution. Chal lenged by the chairman to tell the meeting why he did so, he said that he was the father of two Zouaves. (Loud cheers, the audience rising.) His eldest boy left him on his 16th birthday to be at the battle of Castelfidardo. (A Voice—" God bless him !") In conclusion, he denied reports of atroci ties said to have been committed by the Papal troops at Mentana, on the authority of persons who were present and who had returned to this country. Sir G. BOWYER moved, and Mr. HERBERT, of Clythe, seconded the fifth resolution, as follows : " That an address embodying the sentiments to which we as Catholics and Englishmen, bound to the successor of St. Peter by every tie of duty and gratitude, have given utterance, be adopted, and that his Grace the Archbishop be requested to for ward the same to his Holiness." The address read by the Earl of DENBIGH, and adopted by the meeting, was in the following terms:— " Most Holy Father,—ln a spirit of filial vene ration, we, the clergy and laity of the dioceses of Westminster and Southwark, lay at the steps of your throne a united profession of fide lity and devotedness towards your sacted person, and of profound sympathy with the prolonged sufferings which your Holiness has had to endure at the hands of an anti-Christian revolution. In the impious and dastardly outrages against religion and social order committed in the late invasion of the States of the Church we but too plainly detect the identical spirit of lawlessness and immorality which dictated the horrors of the first French Re volution, which, often repressed and often revived, has of late years concentrated all its preternatural energy against your temporal throne. But the at tacks levelled against your temporal sovereignty aim avowedly at, the direct overthrow of your spiritual power, and at the destruction of Christian society. Both the European Revolution and Catholic Christ endom agree in regarding your temporal sovereignty as the citadel of Christian society, on the safety of which depend the free exercise of your spiritual au thority, the preservation of the rights of religion in every nation, and the maintenance of social order in Europe. In your sacred person, in a word, are at tacked religion, government, and law. Enough for us, moreover, is it to know that your voice has de clared your temporal sovereignty to be a necessary condition for the in lependence of your spiritual au thority. This alone suffices to constrain us, your devoted and obedient children, ever to hold the ene mies of your temporal sovereignty as the enemies of the Christian world. It is superfluous, therefore, for us to express our abhorrence at an invasion of your territories so lawless and outrageous in its cha racter, since so flagrant a violation of public law and of the independent sovereignty of .the Church can find favour nowhere but with a revolutionary press and a perverted public opinion. But however great are the evils which afflict Italy, it is at least a con solation, and of a kind peculiarly dear to your paternal heart, holy Father, to witne.,s the unshaken fidelity of your own subjects, so publicly displayed in the recent invasion be fore the face of Europe. Another consola tion, of a wider character, is offered to your Holiness in the expression of devoted fidelity towards your sacred person and of unswerving loyalty to your temporal sovereignty, which come day by day from the ends of the earth to the centre of Christendom. By the attacks against your in violable rights the whole of Catholic Christendom feels itself outraged ; with one voice it condemns the _lawless designs of your enemies. We, also, your dutiful children, deny to any nation the right of disposing of Rome, which is the inheritance of the whole of Catholic Christendom, and which God has bestowed for the protection of the spiritual power in the successors of St. Peter. We deny, too, to the Italian Kingdom the right, under the plea of na tional unity, of claiming Rome as its capital, or of absorbing any portion whatsoever of the patrimony of St. Peter. The determination of Catholic Christendom to resit the lawless enemies of your temporal sovereignty ise made manifest by the nal which sends forth, from every nation, valiant de fenders to the walls of Rome, and makes Catholic France rally once again to the defence of rights sacred to every Catholic heart. We, too,Thi spirit and in desire, range ourselves round your temporal throne, and take our part according to the measure of our strength—as we have so often done in the triumph of your glorious Pontificate, so now also in the prolonged martyrdom which the enemies of God are inflicting on your paternal heart. We take cou rage, Holy Father, from the calmness and Christian fortitude which you so nobly display in the presence of enemies who seek to crown the triumph of evil in the overthrow of your spiritual authority, and of the prerogatives which you have received from the hand of God himself, but we have a confidence, which no power on earth can disturb, that the hand which struck off the chains from Peter, and which for more than a thousand years has upheld the temporal so vereignty for the Papacy, will deliver you from the hands of your enemies, and give back to the See of Peter security, peace, and the full possession of all its rights." In acknowledging a vote of thanks, moved by Mr. Charles Langdale, and seconded by Sir Joseph M'Kenna, M.P., The Rev. Dr. MANNING said he thanked the audience for this demonstration. He trusted that the meeting would be only the first, and that they would steadily, resolutely, and energetically prsc vere in the enunciation of the same principles all their lives. (Cheers.) The meeting terminated at half-past 11 o'clock, having lasted four hours and a half. MINING REVIEW. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL SUMMARY. Under this heading the Commercial Herald and Market Review makes the following interesting and truthful remarks upon the material progress and growing resources of the Pacific Coast. A review of our Agricultural Market for the first nine months of the present year exhibits a progress as wondrous as it is gratifying. Our exports of flour and wheat are enormous in comparison with all former years, as will be seen by the following figures :—To New York we have sent 209,791 barrels of flour more than during the same period last year, and also 357,104 more sacks of wheat. Great Britain has taken 2,291,080 sacks of wheat than in the first nine months of 1866, equal to $4,530,000 at two cents the pound. No account is made of flour, of which she has taken 38,761 barrels so far this year. Our breadstuffs trade with China and Japan has decreased considerably, but there is every reason to predict a revival during next quarter. Most of the breadstuffs shipped to those countries last year were exported during the last quarter of the year. South America is rapidly opening her mar kets to our wheat and flour, the exports being 62,391 barrels of flour and 11,049 sacks of wheat this year, against nothing during a corresponding period last year. Our trade with British Columbia, in the same articles, has almost reached zero. This is accounted for principally by the great decrease in population in that quarter of the globe. Aus tralia and Mexico also exhibit a decline in the same trade, while with all other countries we are rapidly gaining ground. The total amounts of flour shipped up to the Ist of October, 1866, was 241,413 barrels, while the quantity shipped the present year is 434,274 barrels, an increase of 193,861 barrels. The whole number of sacks of wheat shipped during the same period last year was 1,333,697, and this year it has reached 3,506,574, or 2,162,877 more. The flour this year expressed in wheat would equal 1,302,832 sacks, being an increase of 578,493 sacks over last year. The combined value of the flour and wheat shipped this year in excess of 1866 reaches $5,212,740. These facts speak for them selves, and require no comment. Quite recently, efforts last year inaugurated have been resumed for aiding iu opening up the Colorado River to navigation. Many of our leading mer chants having subscribed liberally towards that pur pose, it is now thought that freights will soon go forward through that channel with less delay and at lower charges than heretofore. Railroad trans portation is also beginning to tell with beneficial effect upon the carriage of goods over local routes and to certain points in the more distant interior. The road of the Central Pacific Company, pene trating one of the great mining regions of the State, and extending thence across the Sierra Nevada, is especially felt in the transmission of freights to points along and near its line ; and cannot fail, by establi,llng winter communications with Nevada, to greatly relieve the trade and business of that State, and of such points beyond as receive supplies through that channel. In concluding our remarks on the material progress and growing resources of the coast, it may be observed that we are fast becoming self-sustaining in many of the staples of manufacture and the prime necessities of life, enabling us to retain for home investment large sums heretofore sent abroad for the purchase of these commodities. Among the articles most en titled to notice in this connection are salted meats, more particularly pork, bacon, and hams, supplies of which, as well also as of lard, have hitherto been obtained chiefly from the Eastern States. The large number of swine now in the country, and the facility with which these animals can be raised and fattened, renders it probable that this will be the last year that we shall be even in part dependent on sources outside our own limits for anything in this line of provision. The business of mining during the past three months, constituting the third quarter of the cur rent year, without being signalised by any marked discoveries or unwonted excitement, has been gene rally prosperous and progressive. This interest, as has been justly observed, is now in a sort of transi tion state on this coast, passing gradually from the precarious, fluctuating, and transitory, but often largely remunerative business of stream-work or alluvial washing to the more difficult and expen sive, but, at the same time, more permanent and certain pursuits of cement and vein mining, calling for the employment of a greater amount of capital and skilled labour, and attended generally with larger and more certain but less immediate re turns. Even the former branch of the business, as at present conducted, is much more costly and com plicated than during its earlier stages, when the rudest implements and the simplest manipulations sufficed to segregate from its associate materials and to secure the granulated gold, the only metal then sought for. The pan, the torn, and the rocker of the pioneer gold digger, have, except in a few loca lities, been long since superseded by the sluicing, hydraulic, and other improvdd modes of washing, whereby immense masses of earth are readily broken down and deprived of their auriferous contents. The placer miner instead of pursuing his calling along the gravelly bars and in the beds of the rivers and alluvial gulches, where the most shallow excava tions answered every purpose, now engages more extensively in deep explorations, sinking his shafts far down, and driving his tunnels into the deeply buried cement and gravel beds ; or penetrating the superincumbent ruins of former geological systems, drifts along the auriferous chan nels of ancient rivers, richer, by far, than those more modern streams that supplied the earlier fields of mining industry. Vast banks of earth are shat tered with powder and sluiced away ; huge piles of tailings are annually washed and rewashed, every year bringing with it some valuable invention and material advancanent or marked change in the im plements used and modes employed in this depart ment of mining. But it is in the other branch of the business—in the working of quartz or vein mining—that the greatest progress is being made, and the most vital gains achieved. As in this de partment the difficulties to be encountered were more formidable, so here the improvements made have been most signal and important, involving in their conseluences questions economical, chemical, and mechanical. As to the best methods of attacking and exploriag the ore channels much has been learned, resulting in a greater economy, security and system, than had before been attained. A more careful and conservative policy is being observed in the conduct of leading mines, looking to their preservation and permanent productiveness rather than immediate and excessive profits. Improvements are constantly being made in the construction of machinery and the application of steam, some of which promise to effect a great saving of labour and propulsive power. The great problem of the successful treat ment of the sulphureted ores of the precious metals makes gratifying progress ; several large chlorina tion works erected in different parts of the State now being operated with results that promise for it an early and satisfactory solution. Other works have also been put up for treating these sulphurets by a cheaper and, as is claimed, more effectual process, while many of the more obdurate silver-bearing ores are being successfully reduced by means of smelting or such other modes as varied and per sistent experiment has established as best. New explosive compounds are about being substituted for gunpowder, whereby it is thought a saving of at least one-half the present cost of blasting can be effected, while the completion of railroad communica tion with many of the great mining centres of the State and its early extension to or near others, still further in the interior, cannot fail to impart to this branch of business an activity and insure for it a prosperity greater than it has ever yet experienced. The al most entire cessation of Indian hostilities in the earlier settled portions of the mineral regions has told favourably on the progress of many of the more out-lying districts, some of which had previously been much retarded by this cause. At present all the older Pacific States and Territories are nearly exempt from the depredations of the native tribes, though the latter still continue by their attacks of menaces to prevent exploration and defeat mining operations in many parts of Montana, Utah, and Arizona ; certain sections of which can neither be settled nor even prospected until these savages are destroyed or effectually subjugated. Another ele ment of thrift in the more inland mining districts is the extent to which they are becoming able to sup ply all feedzstuffs, flour, and other staples of sub sistence by products of local growth. Even in the more remote and desert sections of country a suffi ciency of these commodities has been raised to meet every home requirement ; the capacities of Arizona, the vast regions east of the Cascade Range and those lying between the Sierra Nevada and the great Central Cordillera of the continent, proving, in this respect, much greater than had hitherto been supposed. Since the issue of our last semi-annual review the commissioner for the collection of mining statistics on the Pacific coast has completed his labours and transmitted the same to Washington. His report, the material for which has been collected with the utmost diligence and care, is comprehensive, volu minous, and beyond all question one of the most useful and instructive papers ever compiled upon the resources and industries of this or perhaps any other country. It seems to cover the whole field ably and fully—nothing appears to have been for gotten, slighted, or overlooked. Questions of finance, agriculture, transportation, manufactures, and commerce—of private interest and public po licy—are all considered with reference to then bearings on the subject of mines and mining. The work is eminently practical and utilitarian, abound ing in facts and figures drawn from the most intel ligent and authentic sources ; it having been the aim of the commi-sioner to make it so thoroughly reliable that it could safely be adopted as the basis of legislative action as well as of extended busi ness operations.

The Maldon Conservative Club held its anniversary meeting on Tuesday evening, Mr, H. J. Selwyn-Ibbetson, M.P., presiding. There were also present Mr. G. 'W. M. Sandford, M.P. for the borough, and Lord Eustace Cecil, M.P. Mr. Earle, M.P., the other sitting member for Maldon, was not present. The borough will in future parliaments return only one mem ber. Mr. Sandford, in addressing the meeting, said his principles were the same in 1867 as in 1854, when Le was first returned for the borough. He had always considered that one of the great defects of the old Reform Bill was the monotony of suffrage which it introduced ; and he feared that we had now substituted one monotony of suffrage for another. What he should have desired would have been some systerit of representa tion by which the interests ,of a greater variety of classes would been secured. It would be no use to make a con cession of alpopular suffrage if it was not followed up by popular measures, and he was prepared for his own part to support a popular and progressive policy. The chairman said he had always been one of those who thought that, from the increase of population and the ex tension of education, the time had come for a measure of Reform; and he had therefore approved the policy pursued by the Government. Whether for good or evil, the Reform Bill of last session was an accomplished fact, and he would ask all parties not to pass judgment upon it too hastily, but to rely on the good feeling, the common sense, and the love of order and good government which charac terised English men. The education question would now demand attention. He believed we were far behind other countries in the amount of education offered to the people. At the same time, we must avoid the risk of over-edu cating the people into dissatisfaction with their lot in life. Lord E. Cecil, who was suffering from indisposition, responded to the toast " The Conservative Members present." After touching upon Reform, the state of Ireland, &c., the noble lord said the new constitutional party, whether composed of Conservatives or moderate Liberals, would have to open its arms wide, and throw aside all narrow prejudices. So only would it be able to resist violent and revolutionary changes, and reconcile the old state of things with the new. THE HURRICANE AT TORTOLA. We have been favoured with the following despatch, which was received on Wednesday at the Colonial Office : Tortola, Nov. 12, 1867. Sir,—With reference to my despatch, separate, of 31st October, I have now the honour to report that in the town of Road Town, consisting of 123 houses, 60 have been entirely destroyed, besides all the public buildings, with exception of the one hired for public offices ; 24 are severely, and 39 partially, damaged. In the country parts of Tortola most of the dwellings of the labouring population have been swept off the face of the land; all the sugar works except two are destroyed, all the crops are blighted ; the only country residence that was left in Tortola, Joe's Hill, is entirely carried away. Thirty-seven persons have perished, viz., 23 in Road Town, 6 in the country districts of Tortola, 6 in Spanish Town, and 2 in Peter's Island. After the cessation of the hurricane the face of nature, as by a miracle, was transformed ; it appeared as if winter had visited the tropics, for the few trees that stood, and all vegetation, were withered by the desolating blast. Anegada has escaped with little or no damage; and forms an exception to the tale of woe. I hoped to be able to visit the different islands on Cap tain Vesy's return from St. Thomas in her Majesty's .ship Doris, but an overwhelming pressure of business has kept me in Tortola. The Colonial Secretary, Mr. Potter, has been of the greatest help to me, but all the other officials are old and infirm, and there are few persons of intelli gence on whom I can call for assistance in such a crisis. and my presence has, therefore, been indispensable. About one hundred houses are reported as being de stroyed in Virgin Gorda, and considerable destitution pre vails there. I had not a boat at my disposal to send sup plies immediately after the arrival of the schooner sent to our relief by your Excellency ; and as Mr. H. R. Semper, the Scripture reader, and only resident magistrate of Virgin Gorda, reported to me in Privy Council that there was no immediate occasion for despatch of provisions, I prepared a supply to be forwarded by him on his way back from St. Thomas. Captain Vesy, however, arrived be fore Mr. Semper's return, and I arranged with him that he should proceed thither at once and give temporary assistance. At Jost Van Dyke 25 houses are said to have been de stroyed, according to a statement which was furnished to Captain Vesy by some of the inhabitants. I very much regret that the impossibility of procuring a boat caused some delay in supplying them with provisions ; hut it was reported to me that some of their boats had escaped, and kept running to St. Thomas instead of coming here. It was evident that relief was not urgently rewired there. I have sent a supply since they received the stores from her Majesty's ship Doris ; and yesterday I again sent off a fresh one ; but the boat returned, having been unable to communicate with the shore on account of the heavy ground swell. The obstacles which I have to encounter in the transmission of supplies, &c., are innumerable, and the most exorbitant charges are demanded for their con veyance. I feel most profoundly the misery of so many individuals and families ; but I am sure that your Excellency will recognise the utter impossibility of immediately applying a remedy. I have no desire to avert the exercise of just or generous sympathy, but every one acquainted with the West Indies must know what gross fabrications the negro will make where he entertains the hope of gaining bread without exertion. Many who are not losers by the huricane, and who were content to eke out an existence in a hovel rather than to labour for a honest livelihood, rush forward now with a specious tale of woe, and succeed in imposing on those who are unacquainted with their true positions and real extent of their loss. I have so far endeavoured to acquaint your Excellency as to the damage sustained ; I shall now report the measures taken to alleviate it. I have, in conjunction with the clergymen and Wesleyan ministers, the Colonial Secretary, the Queen's counsel, and the treasurer, issued weekly tickets of relief for food and also for clothing to the extent to which our impoverished circumstances admit. The poor-house is destroyed, and as a temporary mea sure the paupers have been placed in the cells of the gaol. The prisoners were too numerous to occupy the cells with any degree of regard for their health, but as the paupers could be placed in them with the doors open, the same objection as to ventilation did not exist. I have put the prisoners, in charge of the turnkey, in a fire-proof store. Two gangs have been employed to cleanse the streets and burn the offal ; also to clear away the remains of the ruined houses and to replace others, which had been re moved many yards from their original foundation, in their former position. The church and Wesleyan chapel have been cleared out, and sails erected over the remaining walls, so that Divine service has not been interrupted. In all cases I have endeavoured to shew an example, as in the removal of the paupers, who were some little distance from the town, both Mr. Porter and myself help• ing to transport those who required assistance. Equally with regard to the corpses, we have not hesitated to help to place them in their coffins. I entertain the hope that what has been done under circumstances of great difficulty will meet with your Excellency's approval. I have the honour to be, sir, your Excellency's most obedient, humble servant, (Signed) ARTHUR RUMBOLD. P. S.—Since closing the despatch a boat has arrived from Jost Van Dyke, and a man was called up before the relief committee. He states that three boats were saved, two were damaged, but one kept going to St. Thomas. He cannot say why they did not come here for provisions. (Signed) ARTHUR RUMBOLD. His Excellency Governor Hill, C. 8., &c., Antigua. A terrible railroad accident has occurred in Ohio. Owing to a collision near Cincinnati, a train of passenger carriages was set on fire and five persons burnt to death, while several others were injured seriously. VEsuvws.—The eruption of Vesuvius continues and increases. On the 25th ult. the shocks at Torre del Greco were so violent that the population were in trem bling expectation of a renewal of the disasters of 18G1. In Resina on the night following the staircase of a house was thrown down and another houso opened in the middle, so that the inhabitants of that street fled. The spectacle as it is witnessed from Naples has now become magnificent, as a vast stream of lava is flowing down. Strangers are coming in daily to see this rare and grand demonstration of Vesuvius. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday night, about half-past six o'clock, a goods train was due at the Rainhill level crossing of the London and North Western Rail way, near Liverpool. Just before this the pointsman, named Johnson, who had been in the company's service twenty years, permitted a string of carts to pass, but, fearing an accident, he rushed to the head of the last horse and endeavoured to back it off the line. Just then a waggonette, containing Mr. Ackerley, auctioneer, of Liverpool, and some ladies, came from an opposite direc tion. At the moment the two horses came in a line the goods train dashed up, killed the pointsman and the two horses, and dragged the carriage some distance up the line. Mr. Ackerley was thrown out insensible, and the driver (Denby) was severely hurt, but the ladies escaped with a severe shaking. Mr. Ackerley soon re covered. The body of Johnson was found in thirteen pieces, BPIRIT OP THE PtiftlO SOUItNAL S. THE MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT JOHNSON. To the Times the American nation is at this moment conspicuous example of a communitywiser than its ru lets. s Ever since the termination of the civil war the good sense , of the people has been called into action to restrain the excesses of one or other branch of their double Govern ment. Last year the President made his notorious expe dition through New York into Illinois, and his extravagant utterances drove voters who had been disposed to ac quiese in his policy in such numbers into the oppo site ranks that he was left powerless at the feet of the new Congress. The Republican leaders have since turned their victory to such extreme uses that the elec tions of the recent autumn have shewn them to be dis credited and deserted by the popular sentiment. It was impb'ssible to mistake the extent or the reason of the reac tion. The people had not been converted to a belief in the wisdom of the President, nor had they suddenly entered the Democratic ranks. They simply recoiled from the proposals which had found favour with the majority of Congress. They expressed as plainly as they could through electoral results their dissatisfaction with both President and Congress, and manifested their deter mination that, whether better guides arose or not, the destinies of the Republic should not in the meantime be made the sport of rival fanatics. Under such circum stances the President has sent his third Message to Con gress. Mr. Johnson had a great opportunity. He has been judiciously silent for some months, and meeting the Legislature after the signal defeat of the extreme Repub licans, he might have shewn that he had profited by his own experience and had learnt the wisdom of moderate counsels. The abstract of the Message sent by telegraph forbids our contemporary entertaining the hope that Mr. Johnson has in any degree improved his position. He appears as distant and as tenacious of his preconceived opinions as ever. No representa tive of a long line of European kings educated timid all the traditions of servility could shew less aptitude for learning. The Message, whether touching On home or foreign affairs, makes us turn for hope from the rulers of the American people to the people them selves. The circumstances of the Union since the close of the war have undoubtedly been of extreme difficulty, and may be held to excuse the failure of rival politicians to discover the solution of the embarrassment which threatens to become chronic. But the American nation rre themselves profoundly dissatisfied with the conduct of both President and Congress, and in this dis satisfaction lies the certainty that an escape from the existing perplexity will be forthcoming. If it is to be found neither by the help of Mr. Johnson nor of Mr. Thaddeus Stevens, the Federation is not yet exhausted, and the practical ability and political aptitude which distinguish every American citizen assure us that assistance will in due time be forthcoming. Meanwhile, it may be judicially taken as a subject of inquiry by the mass of the people why the men who hold the foremost position in politics fail to exhibit the real power of the nation. How is it that the perfectly free representative machinery of the Union doe,s not bring to the surface the best men of the Republic, and that the Congress is almost as little a mirror of the country as the Common Council of New York is a representation of the wealth, the intel ligence, and the public spirit of that city ? The Post expresses its astonishment at the tone in whicn Mr. Johnson has met Congress. At the same time, the meagre summary which has been transmitted by Atlantic Telegraph must be accepted with great ref erve as indi eating the future policy of the President, and it therefore reserves its judgment on many important points until the teat of the document is received. It is said that he pro posed to Congress to declare that the naturalisation of a foreigner as a citizen of the United States absolves the recipient from allegiance to the sovereign of his native country. This is evidently intended to meet the case of American Irish who may be charged in Great Britain with sedition against the sovereign. Mr. Johnson and his advisers must, however, know very well that the Ame rican Congress cannot affect to legislate for any country but its own. The allegiance which a natural-born British subject owes to the British Crown cannot be absolved by aiy other Legislature than that of Great Britain. The telegraphic summary of President Johnson's Mes sage exhibits him to the Daily News in the old antagonistic attitude and querulous temper with which the public is so familiar. The President has never recovered from the delusion which—very much through the fault of Congress —took firm possession of his mind in the first year of his office, that he is the Legislature of the United States. Accordingly, he speaks in this Message of " Congressional legislation " as if it were a rival and irregular power. Mr. Johnson's opinions on the best method of recon structing the Union have been urged upon Congress in every form, and with advantages which do not now attend their expression ; he nevertheless repeats them as vehemently as ever, and persistently misrepresents his opponents. Perhaps this is as much his misfortune as his fault. The reconstructive policy of Congress contem plates the establishment neither of supremacy nor of mili tary rule. The expectation of an " easy restoration of the Union," of which Mr. Johnson speaks, is an afterthought. No one in his senses ever imagined that the reconstruction of the great fabric which was so terribly shaken by four years of war would be easily accomplished ; but the delay and partial failure of tie efforts made in that direction are chiefly due to the mischievous and unauthoHsed inter meddling of Mr. Johnson, who has grievously misled the Southern States, and induced them to enter upon a course which has hitherto prevented the retan of peace and prosperity. The Herald characterises as extraordinary Mr. John son's advice to Congress to declare that a naturalised foreigner is absolved from all allegiance to the Government of his own country. At present every native European in America is bound by an enduring obligation to the country of his birth, and a well-known maxim of our own common law declares that such allegiance cannot be renounced or shaken off at the mere will of the sub ject. But if the Congress should act on the Presi dent's recommendation they will in effect be attempting to alter the laws, not of their own, but of other countries ; as good an expedient for bringing about a series of embroilments as anybody can well imagine. For the sake of the Republic itself, therefore, it trusts that no attempt of the kind will be made, that all unreasonable conditions as to the arbitramept of the Alabama claims will be aban doned, and especially that the President may so far succeed in increasing the number of his supporters as to ensure a speedy triumph for that policy of conciliation which he has so perseveringly, but hitherto so unsuccess fully, advocated. The Telegraph regards the prospect to relieve the Ame rican naturalised citizen from his allegiance to his own sovereign as obviously an additional screw to squeeze the Alabama damages out of England, and another bid for popularity among the foreign voters ; but even Secretary Seward will find it rather difficult to drag this subject into the discussion which has engrossed so much of the attention of Lord Stanley. What effect it may have in the American political market is doubtful ; but certainly every intelligent American ought to see that, i Mr. Seward were really anxious to arrange the Alabama claims, he could at once accept the fair and liberal offer of our Foreign Secretary to refer the subject to arbitration. Mr. Seward is an old and wily politician and it seems perfectly clear that he wishes to keen the question between the two Governments open, as a sort of political oil-well, from which any amount of capital may be pumped up when required ; but whether he is working this scheme for himself, or to aid the political fortunes of Mr. Johlison time and the Presidential Conventions must reveal. England has throughout the diScussion adopted an honest, straightforward policy, and we have only t let the American Government pursue the course it ha selected, and await the result with firmness and patience The Standard assumes that the paragraph of the Message referring to the Alabama claims was penned before Lord Stanley's despatch of the 16th of November had bee' communicated to the President. To speak of Lord Stan. ley's offer as " accompanied by reservations incompatible with the rights of the United States" is simply ridiculous. Lord Stanley offers the American Government far more than it can fairly claim of England. He proposes to submit to the decision of an arbitrator the question whether the English Government, by doing or not doing something incurred any moral responsibility to make good to American citizens the losses caused them by the Alabama. He will not submit to an arbiter a question of which England must be the sole judge, the policy or justice of the recog nition of the Confederates as belligerents. The question has nothing to do, as Mr. Johnson pretends, with that of non-intervention. England did not intervene in the quarrel between the North and South, even with advice. She expressly refused to associate herself with such an intervention when proposed by France. If she was remiss in her duty as a neutral in allowing the Alabama to escape— a question which she is ready to submit to the decision of an impartial tribunal- she is ready to pay for the damage caused by that remissness. The United States ought to ask—they will certainly get—nothing, more. The Star sees no reason why Great P. i should not submit to arbitration the question as to whether we were right or wrong in recognising the Confederates as belli gerents in May 1861. It argues in this wise. To agree to submit a case is not to allow judgment to go by default. We can present all the strong reasons which induced the Cabinet of the day to determine on a recognition of beliigerency, and fearlessly challenge the award of any arbiter on the subject. This, which Mr. Seward makes so much of, is the weakest point in his case, and we only wish we had as many and as powerful arguments to urge in favour of our mode of dealing with the Alabama, as we have upon the prior question of belligerency. The real difficulty of Lord Stanley seems to be that he cannot agree to submit to the decision "of a foreign Power" any question connected with an act of policy which is wholly within the com petency of each nation to decide for itself, without being liable to answer for it to friend or foe. Well, suppose we do not refer it to " a foreign Power," but to a court of jurists. It is difficult to suggest any foreign Power which is not mixed up with the controversy in some shape or another. Certainly all the European maritime Powers are disqualified on this ground. Moreover, the nature of the discussion is essentially one for a court of jurists to determine. Is it to some such solution that Lord Stanley points when he dwells so much upon the expression " foreign Power ?" If so, Mr. Seward in the meantime prefers not to understand his meaning ; and these menacing claims are to be left, we suppose, to be dealt with by the new President who will be elected next year bx,the Fenian vote. Naval and Military Intelligence. An order was yesterday received at the Royal Engineer establishment, Chatham, from the Horse Guards, directing a return to be tranzmitted to the Deputy-Adjutant-General of the whole of the non commissioned officers of the corps, holding staff or other appointments, who have completed the period of 21 years' service. This return, it is understood, is preliminary to the promulgation of an order directing the retirement of the whole of the non commissioned officers of the Royal Engineers who have completed their full period of service, with the view of giving increased opportunities for promo tion among the junior non-commissioned officers of the corps. It was stated at Chatham yesterday that the authorities intend adopting a similar course in the corps of Royal Artillery and Royal Marines at the commencement of the approaching year. In consequence of the anomalies which have for some time existed at Chatham dockyard in the amounts at which the residences occupied by the officials of that establishment are assessed to the parochial and other rates, resulting in many of the dockyard officers of similar rank and salary being granted superannuation allowances calculated on different amounts arising from the rating valuations of the residences occupied by them, au Admiralty order has been received at the establishment direct ing that the following scale of lodging allowances will in future be adopted, instead of rating valua tions, on calculating superannuation allowances -- viz., officers with a salary of £5OO, and upwards, £75 ; officers with a salary of £3OO to £5OO, £5O ; and officers with a salary under £3OO, £35. The same scale will, it is understood, be applied to the whole of the other Royal dockyards. The usual annual discharges of non-established mechanics ,and workmen from Chatham dockyard , consequent on the amount of wages voted by Par liament being nearly exhausted, is ordered to be made at that establishment, the first part of work men having had notice to leave the dockyard en Saturday next. The Admiralty Director of Transports, Captain W. R. Mends, C. 8., R.N., arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from London, and paid lengthened visits of inspection to the Indian troop steamships Serapis and Crocodile. Her Majesty's screw troopship Orontes, Capt. U. Phelps, sailed from Spithead at daylight yesterday morning for Gibraltar and Malta. Her Majesty's screw troopship Crocodile, Capt. Watson, embarked detachments of troops to join corps serving in India, and naval supernumerari es; for the Indian screw troopships Euphrates an d Jumna, in the Red Sea, yesterday, at Portsmout h. Fhe Crocodile steamed out of Portsmouth harbour, after having embarked the troops, and proceeded out south-east of Spithead, where she steamed about for a couple of hours to test the working of l ief machinery, under the supervision of the Stea m Factory and Reserve officials. The machinery being found to work satisfactorily, the Crocodile afterwards started on her voyage, but will call in at Queenstown to embark the Ist battalion of the 6t 4 Regiment of Infantry, to convey to Alexandria with her other troops for India. Her Majesty's paddle yacht Alberta was yeat er. day taken out of Portsmouth harbour, under steam' for trial of the machinery and o f a new ly aPP li , e , steering apparatus. Th e l a tt er cons i s t s o f a righ t and left handed screw on a single bar. Both trials were satisfactory. Staff Commander Henry A. Moriarty, C• l3• ' commanding the screw store frigate Fox, who ren; dered such important services in the laying of th a Atlantic cable, has, we understand, been appoint e e by the Admiralty Second Master Attendant Portsmouth dockyard, vice Sturdee, retired. With reference to the first paragraph in the " Naval and Military Intelligence" of Tuesday, W are requested to state that no trial of the conaPa ra ; tive merits of the Chassepot and the Carter a nd Edward rifles has yet been made under authoriti at the Hythe School of Musketry.

The prisoner, who was again assisted , his solicitor, at the opening of the court put i° , 6 written defence, in which he did not deny the 011 1 5 of being intoxicated at the Royal Marine barrs c eo on the day mentioned in the charge, but urged in extenuation that he had been suffering from and had drank a small quantity of ale in the re e :: . which produced the eff ec t s sworn t o b y th e witues s v - t The prisoner made an earnest appeal to the O ho for a merciful co ns id era ti on o f hi s con d uc t for t a d sake of his wife and family, and urged his long 3 a , honourable service in the Royal Marines in mi ti g or Lion of punishment.
