If the Standard had glanced over the lead ing articles of such a paper as the New York Tri bune it would have seen ample contradici ion of its statemenls; indeed, the Tribune's attack is as furious as was the onslaught of the military projectors and actors to the expedition ; quite as savage as ever was the London Star against Governor EIRE and his supporters. On the 15th of March an article appeared headed " The NatiOnal Disgrace," wherein the equity of the expedition is not only called in question, but is censured in the very strongest lan guage. But this is only one of a series demanding the trial of the perpetrators, but we allude to it especially, because it contains as inaccurate and as unjust a statement against England as anything said in the Standard against America : ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION 3. SPEECH OF PRINCE CHRISTIAN. Ibcorporat©d with "THE ANGLO-AMEIIICAN TIMES." WEDNESDAY. g been de - Yr-Allt 1• The mission which "Our Ocean Highways" has to achieve is to afford Travellers OF ALL NATIONS a means, -in the simplest and readiest of forms, that of the alphabet, to find their way, safely and easily, over the whole world. - The success already obtained by the first annual, for 1870, is a guarantee fur the future. The whole British Press have applauded the enterprise ; many American and Continental Journals have encouraged and sympathized with the move ment, which is international, and made in the best interests of all countries. The host of elaborate special Handbooks and Guides which abound at the Railway Stations give many minute details to which a condensed Gazetteer of the World, in a moderate-sized volume, cannot lay claim. But what it does claim is, that it contains every necessary particle of Tra velling and Commercial information, derived from the best and original sources. It is a matter of just pride and congratulation that all the great Ocean Steamship Companies, and many eminent Com mercial Shipping Firms, have cheerfully acceded to the Etitor's application to forward Printed Forms of Ques tions to their Correspondents and Agents all over the globe for reply. Many of the home and continental ports have already sent in the requisite information ; those more remote will all be in time to have the latest authentic intelligence inserted in tit% next annual 'volume, which will be published on the Ist of December next, so as to be received and utilised 'by the Ist day of the New-year in almost every part and city of the globe. It will embody -an amount of topographical, statistical, commercial, railway, and shipping intelligence, such as can not bo found in any other publication. A valuable addition will be a FOREIGN POUTS' DIRECTORY, containing the ntdnes of British and Am rican Ministers, Consuls and Vic..-Cen suls, Clergymen of all denominations, Physicians, Banks, Managers and London Correspondents, Chief Merchants, Ship Brokers and Shipping Agents, Lloyd's Agents, News papers and Editors, Hotels and Proprietors; in short, no labour or expense is being spared to render the work of paramount universal utility. "Our Ocean Highways" Monthly Supplement, incorpo rated with the "Anglo-American Times," the leading organ of America in Europe, is essentially for the use of passengers by our great Ocean Steamship Companies. Each number of the Supplement and each bi-monthly umber of "The Anglo- American Times " will contain, in addition to a Ports' Rail way and Steamers Summary, - a Skeleton Tour, taking the traveller from the steamer, on his arrival in port, to some one of the great European centres, guiding him on Isis way and ensuring his comfort at tLe most eligible hotels. These Surplements accompany the passengers in the homeward bound steamers, provision having been made for the Agents of the respective Steamship Companies regularly receiving them for distribution at all foreign ports. Communications, suggestions, and coreections are earnestly solicited from all Travellers, either by letter to the Editor, or personal interview, at the Buckingham Palace Hotel, London. A conference was held at the reoms of the Society of Arts, St. John-street, Adelphi, this morning, respecting the representation of the fine arts at the forthcoming series of International Exhibitions. Examples of fine." arts applied or not applied to works of utility will 134 arranged in the seven classes :—Paintings of all kinds, sculpture and modelling, engraving, architectural de signs, manufacturing designs, tapestries, and copies of pictures and other reproductions. Amongst a large com pany present were the Lord Chancellor, Mr. Millais, Mr. J. Bell, Mr. Richmond, Mr. Westmacott, Mr. Stephens, Mr. Fabey, Mr. Cole, Sir Daniel Cooper, Sir F.

PRINCE CHRISTIAN, in opening the business, said :My lord and gentlemen—lt gives me great pleasure, I can assure you, to preside over this meeting, and in doing so I hope I may be able to help in in some slight degree to promote the grow i n g i n t eres t the fine arts which is a distinctive and hopeful feature of the present time. The object of these fine-art exhi bitions is to shew how conclusively artistic culture can be connected with the works of industry. (Hear, hear.) In modern times we have lost sight of this intimate alliance between art and industry, which was characteristic of ancient and mediaeval days. What we now aim at is a revival of this wholesome alliance. (App7ause.) We hope that these exhibitions will en courage applications of artistic talent, to objects of utility of every description. (Hear, hear.) I may quote many instances from the history of art, to show that it is not beneath the dignity of its most illustrious professors to combine the useful with the orna mental. (Hear, hear.) Michael Angelo was a sculptor, painter, and architect ;so was Raphael. Leonardo da Vinci was an engraver, an architect, and painter. Frain esca was a goldsmith and painter; Cellthi was a gold smith and scuptor Holbein an architect, painter, and designer ; Albrecht burer, a painter and engraver. Surelyi these great examples may stimulate to a similar work of the culture of art used in our own days. My friend, Colonel Scott will explain the details, and mem bers of the Exhibition Business Committee, will answer questions, and give information. In conclusion, I beg to invite your inquiry. (Applause.) Colonel Scorr, the Secretary of the Royal Commis sioners of 1851, gave detailed explanations respecting the manner in which works of art would be admitted. ther more the rates IAINLESS and PRACTICAL DENTISTRY, , o t pp he o D site ent t i h st e b n y o s y p a e l c p ia o l ly a te pp c o h i n n i t e m , e a n n t d C' ex S a EL ctl Y y 312, 11 E b G y s M N T r ; S B T .

" England, in India, laid aside her Christianity to meet heathenish with heathenish cruelty, and was taught her mistake at Lucknow and Cawnpore." ANGLO -AM ERICAN TIMES, AN INTERNATIONAL NEWSPAPER, Devoted to American Intelligence, ENLARGED to 24 PA GES. Reports of Congress, Personal, Financial, Mining, Railroad. &c. Members of Parliament. Commercial Men, and those having an interest in the United states. will find this newspaper of use. Published every SATURDAY MORNING, price 4d., 15, Catherine-street, Strand. The writer is unaware, or if aware, perverts the fact that there are more executions in one year in the United States than took place in British India (with five times the population) during the years prior to the mutiny, and that the mutiny itself was the result of the weakest leniency by which any power ever attempted to rule a conquered people. It was not a charge of cruelty that England has to an swer in India, but for the insolence of individual Englishmen towards the natives. The mass of American papers censure the destruction of the Piegan lodges, and even among the military, Gen. SULLY has taken sides with Mr. VINCENT COLYER, and was censured for his course by Gen. SHERMAN. To suppose that among a people like the Ameri cans Colonel BAKER'S expedition could rasa un challenged and without exciting the utmost indig nation, is to be totally ignorant of the community. In no other nation does the humanitarian feeling. run so high, and no other is more ready to con demn any questionable act by its citizens. There is, too, more religious enthusiasm in the States than elsewhere, and a tendency to get on high moral gr,.out.d. If the Standard knew anything of the Republic without consulting the American papers at all (either " local or New York"), it would kn .w that violent agitation wouldsurely follow the publica tion of the details of the expedition. The point which most annoys the Westam settlers (in their cx posed positions) with the Eastern men, is the sym pathy and countenance extended by the latter to the blood-thirsty savages, *hose knives are kept sharp to raise the scalps of the former. The hunter, the miner, or the settler on the most frequented of the wild tracks, has n) patience with his Eas tern brother for his sympathy with the unscru pulous, treacherous, and red-handed enemy plotting against his life, as in lieu of high moral grounds and abstract justice, he has to defend his property and to preserve his scalp, with a thousand wrongs to himself, kinsmen, and friends, deeply branded on his memory. The case with the Western pioneer is pre cisely as it was with the- British in India during the mutiny ; when he sees the heavy censure cast on him in the East for cruelty, its effect is the same as was the censure cast by the humanitarians in England on their countrymen, for their cruelty in Ilindostan. We do not say one word either for or against the expedition, our object being simply to check, as far as possible, the circulation of a wilful naissta'ement ; and we would strongly re commend the Standard to adhere more closely to truth, far it has a'ready injured its-prestige, and lessened the influence it ought to exert as the lead ing metropolitan Tory organ, by, disregarding all the fat's, and manufacturing a case to suit its purpose. ;erisea by en rather ions being paper has ROYAL MUSIC HALL, HOLBORN.

Last Monday the Siandard contained an article on the massacre of the Piegan Indian 4, fairly illus trating the way in which prejudiced and strong party journali on both sides the Atlantic treat interna tional subjects. The London standard's mode of . discussing Col. BAKER'S affair is about as just and truthful as the way in which the New Yorl; Herald would relate such a case as that of Govern n- EYRE in Jamaica. ludeed the drift of the article is to throw on the shoulders of the humanitarians who so strongly censured the Jamaica atrocities eithel the guilt of, or the necessity for clearing themselves from, the Montana massacre. After detailing some of the operations for which the American troors claim credit, the Standard observes—" What Cul. BAKER attacked seems, in fact, to have been a Piegan hospital of sick women and children." Then the ol.d lady of Shoe Lane thus pr. , ceeds in her usual veracious and candid manner when dis cussing American subjects : " The equity of the transaction does not seem to have excited a suspicion in the minds of the New York press; and we have searched in vain among the local journals for any expression of regret or pity for the Piegans. Colonel BAKER's immediate military superior, Gen. SHE RIDAN, has not only not rebuked his subordinate for any excess of zeal, but has officially justified and approved of his conduct." , has-been ARGYLL ROOMS, GREAT WINDMILL-STREET, Piccadilly.

Granny knows that &he is wilting for readers to whom she might assert with impunity anything of the United States, the press of which the divides into the local, as connected with this affair, and that of New York. By the local what does she mean ? if Montana, we venture to assert, a Montana journal never entered Shoe-lane. it . tneunited S. at es, then the Standard is mapping out the country in eculiarly Shoe-lane manner. Nor does the old lady confine herself to the Territory, but she must drag a fresh State into the Union, for she alludes to " the celebrated proclathation by the State of Colorado, offering twenty dollars apiece' for Indian scalps with the ears on." The Red River Settlement, where President RIELL is reported to have shot a Scotchman for disputing the authority of his Government, is regarded as remote; and, con sidering that, with a few French half-castes RIELL has been able for months to defy the British Em pire, remote it may be taken to be ; yet it borders on civilization when compared wish Montana, for the Red River forms the boundary between Minne sota and Dacotah, the latter Territory having to be crossed for some 400 miles before the traveller sets foot on the eastern boundary of Montana. If then the Standard intends to impress on its readers that it has been perusing files of Montana news papers to ascertain the local sentiment it deceives. At the same time we have other means'of ascer taining what the feeling there is, and we confess that the people of Montana neither regret the massacre nor pity the Piegans ; but, on the con trary, loudly applaud Colonel BAKER'S act, perhaps for the same reasons that the resident Christians in India upheld the extreme severity of British reprisals for what was suffered during the Se poy Mutiny, and the planters and white people supported Governor EYRE in his vigorous pro ceedings during the Jamaica insurrection. Gen. SHERIDAN sums this up in his official letter to his chief (General SHERMAN) in these words, of which we omit the most shocking :—" Since 1862, at least 800 men, women, and children have been murdered within the limits of my present command in the most fiendish manner; the men usually scalped and mutilated." But to show how little the circum stances are here understood ; or, if understood, how they are perverted, we take th;s comparison from from the Standard's article ; "The severest punishments inflicted on the Sepoy mutineers may be justified on the score of the absolute necessities of a struggle for life. They were inflicted on men taken in arms red;with the blood of our kindred by a handful of Englishmen, fighting desperately against enor mous odds." The dislike existing between the British in India and the Sepey mutineers was nothing contrasted with the hereditary hatred which many years of atrocities have generated between these Indians and the white men. The lonely and exposed condition of nearly all the white settlers in Montana is as full of danger aswas that of the British in India dur ing the insurrection, and infinitely more so than was that of the whites in Jamaica ; while to be captured is to be subjected to such lorrors of cruelty as the mind of man could conceive and the human frame bear. In justifying Colonel BAKER'S act, the settlers of Montana are better supported by the circumstances of the position than is the Stan dard in the cases it has cited. The whole country is however, evidently meant by " local," and in this case New York may fairly be thrown in. Then we assert that the Standard bas grossly and shame fully misrepresented public feeling in America. It could not plead ignorance ; on the contrary it ex pressly states that it has searched in vain the local journals as well as the New York pros for any expression of pity or regret, or a remark calling iu doubt the equity of the transactions. vu the contrary, a furious controversy has been raging about the " equity " of this expedition, in the Executive, in Congress, in the pulpit, and in the press ; and expressions of condemnation have run so high, even against Generals whose ser vices have made their names " households words" Aussia having received 57,200,000 in gold from tho Washington Treasury,as payment for the boar garden' handed over to Uncle Sam, now claims $250,000 as inte rest, the money not having been paid up to time. The bear garden has already cost $600,000, and yielded from all sources 521,000. The Muscovite can contemplate this result with satisfaction, and as he knows Uncle Sam has a sentimental weakness in his favour he puts in a further claim for $250,000 to assist in the completion of those railways through which ho moans to drive the Western farmers' produce out of the markets of France and Eng land. There is a claim preferred by an Americen citizen against Russia, and the Government, after a close inves tigation, pronounces the Perkins' case to be just. The Russian Government, on the other hand, declares it to be fraudulent ; but the officers of ;the Czar disdain to furnish proof, though the Washington Executive made Perkins establish the facts on which he relied. If Russia's claim to interest be allowed, President Grant will insist before the money is paid that the Perkins claim be settled by a properly appointed tribunal ; for, although in Russia no person may have rights as against the Czar, there is no necessity for any such doctrine to be acted on in the great Republic. The speech whereby Mr. Sumner created so great a sensation and put the finishing stroke on the Johnson- Clarendon treaty has been republished by Wright and Potter, of Boston, with a portion of his Worcester speech of last September, as well as the speeches of Richard Cob den and Thomas Baring in the House of Commons, May 13, 1864, on the Alabama and the other cruisers. Two letters by a Boston merchant, written in 1863, and a pre face to the pamphlet complete the work. The Boston merchants are probably beginning to find out that delay is not the best policy as regards the settlement of these claims, that the national interest in them dies out, and unless in some degree revived by such a "fillip" may be in a great measure lost. The Massachusetts papers recom mend as wide a distribution as possible of the pamphlet in England, so that what the Senator actually said and what the Americans complain of may be there made known ; and at the same time the ignorance as well as the prejudice of the English is alluded to on the subject, although it is possible that there may be ignorance of the English side in America (for a dispuie has always two sides), as well as prejudice, on the subject of what is generally called the " Anglo-Rebel pirates"—the very name showing this. Canada has been warned against getting " ugly." If the new Dominion legislates against the United States, by way of retaliation for the non-acceptance of the Reci procity Treaty, it is hinted that two can play at that game, and intimation is given in what manner the Execu tive at Washington can play it. The Canadian threat is to prevent the United States fishermen from plying their calling within its waters ; to frame a tariff hostile to the Union, and to impose discriminating duties on vessels be longing to the States using Canadian canals. The threat on the other side is to repeal the section of the warehouse regulations under which goods are forwarded through Portland, Boston, or New York straight through to Ca nada without detention or examination. If repealed the United States would be shut to such transport; and as the St. Lawrence, the only other route, is closed during win ter, Canada would experience no little inconvenience. But what are we to think of two kindred people adjoining each other legislating in spite ? The question is whether, as alleged, the Reciprocity Treaty was altogether one sided in the interest of Canada. It is said that such is the case; that it was negotiated, when the Southern States were all-powerful, to restrict expansion northward and discourage the industry of the Free States. Its effect, if renewed, would bo to place Canadian farmers, lumbermen, and millers at an advantage over those of the United States, inasmuch as they would have the same markets in the United States without any of the burdens borne by the producers of tho United States, which would be tanta mount to handicapping the American instead of leaving t) him a free and unshackled course. A "VARIETY MACLUNE."—" A. S. Gear, of New Haven, Conn., has recently patented a machine that planes, molds, panels, tenons, and mortises straight and irregular wood-work, and, what is inure astonishing', dovetails beautifully, making both tenon and mortise at the same time. It also carves iu wood the duplicate of almost any pattern desired, such as images, scrolls, vines, &c. It is vei - y simple iu its construction, and is considered the most useful and wonderful invention that has been made in wood-working machinery for a long time."—Artisan. Lord HATIIERLEY (the Lord Chancellor) : We shall be greatly benefitted if some of those distinguished in art, of whom I think there are several here present, could give us any intimation of how far we may expect from those so distinguished assistance in the work which we have in hand ; either to send themselves works of high art to form part of this exhibition, or encourage us, either as a body—taking the Royal Academy, for instance—or as individuals, in the work that is in hands, by dissemi nating as far as possible a knowledge of whatis under taken, and exhorting all those who may feel an interest in the subject to evince it by sending works of art to the exhibition. After a long discussion, shared in by most of the distinguished artistis present, and in which a hearty sympathy with the proposed exhibition was expressed, Mr. WEsTmAcorr moved " that this meeting, after having had explained to it the object of the intended international exhibitions so far as relates to the section of fine arts, desires cordially to co-operate in carrying into effect the plans proposed." In the course of his remarks on the subject he expressed a strong condemnation of the style of art as exhibited at many of our public buildings. Mr. CARTER HALL seconded the resolution, which, on being piAt to the meeting by his Royal Highness, was carried unanimously. The Loan CHANCELLOR : May it please your Royal Highness, I have the honour to be present on this occa sior.' simply as a member of the Society of Arts. I regret that of late my duties elsewhere so seldom permit me to attend its meetings. I particularly regret that I was not here on Monday last, though I am thankful to be permitted to be present to-day, because this society can never forget the deep interest that was taken in all that could promote art by one of its members; one who took a most active part, and who sincerely co-operated in furthering the exhibitions of industry that have taken place in this country from time to time. This society remembers most gratefully his efforts connected with those undertakings, which have now recommended themselves to every part of Europe. A great stimulus was given in the first instance by the illustrious Prince, whose memory we all revere. We are not likely to forget the illustrious Prince at any time, but still less likely when we find that those who are united to him by closer ties of affection, even than those which bind him ever to the remembrance of the whole nation, are actively engaged in following in that path, and in that career to which he directed us, when we remember that he who is nearest to the throne as you, sir, who are so closely connected with the Royal Family are takinpi part in these duties, in our discussions, and assisting us with your judgment. You have pointed out to us the union that subsisted of old be tween art of the highest character and the application of art to the useful arts and to what I may call the comforts of life. Certainly, art had reached its highest culmination, when such specimens were left by one man as existed in the Sistine Chapel, and in the dome of St. Peter's. And we can hardly hope any time, to recur when one genius can so apply' art in its highest per fection to that which is for the comfort of mankind. I was much pleased with one of the prospectuses, that there is to be no comparative estimate of the vari ous works of art. It is well that in all the departments of life we should be re minded of the beautiful distinction drawn by. Lord Bacon between " the love of excellence skid the love of excelling." I believe there is no country where we have less to fear of the unworthy spirit of emulation than England. A I speak with special emphasis of that noble spirit which animates the English when I recollect that it will be exhibited to-day . by some of our select youths from the two Universities, who no doubt will endeavour to do their best for victory without any envy or unworthy emulation risilig up between them. That, I believe, is the spirit which will guide our artists in giving us their assistance and suggestions in the various exhibitions which are now about to be inaugurated. r trust they will be the means of improving the taste of our countrymen with reference to many thin g s in which we desire improvement, especially with regard to our street architecture, mentioned by . Mr. Westmacott, and several other departments. The Lord Chancellor concluded by tendering the thanks of the meeting to his Royal High ness for presiding. The resolution was carried with acclamation, NA His Royal Highness having returned thanks, • The Conference then separated.

The details of the story brought by the ship John Banks, 680 tons, Captain Reynolds, from San Francisco to Queenstown, which arrived at the latter port os4 Saturday, are very startling. For some days previous to the 28th of January, after rounding the Horn, when in about latitude 35 south, the crew mani fested symptoms of rebellion. On the 28th January the captain conveyed to them some orders through his mate, which they point blank refused to obey. He then sent the second mate, in company with the first officer, to the forecastle, with the request that the men would come aft to the cabin and state their cause of complaint. Five of the crew, named Stone, Millar, Phillips, Robinson, and Davidson, immediately turned on the second officer (O'Connor) with knives, daggers, and bolts. They stabbed him in the arm and disabled that limb, but for tunately no other injury was inflicted. From this time forward the captain and his officers had to conduct the entire mananagement of the vessel themselves. They had to navigate her in person, and in order to protect them selves from the violence of the mutineers each man— captain and officer—was oblig e d t o arm himself with a brace of revolvers. In this manner they were enabled to bring the ship to port. The plot of the mutineers was afterwards discovered to be, first, the murder of the officers of the vessel, and, leaving achieved this, they resolved to compel the captain V lo steer the ship to alparaiso. When this point was In sight they determined to murder the captain and then bring the ship to port. But the resolute and cool de meanour of Captain Reynolds, in a very trying position, entirely defeated the murderous intention of the muti neers. Five of them were arrested in Cork Harbour, and the charge of mutiny and conspiracy to murder has been heard against them. Three witnesses deposed that Stone, the ringleader, Phillips, snd the others, pro posed to murder the mates and compel the captain to sail for Valparaiso, and murder him when in sight of land. The mutiny and attack on the second mate were also proved. The magistrates sentenced Stone to eighteen weeks' imprisonment, Phillips to ten weeks, and the three others to eight weeks. At a committee meeting of the Bristol Guardians, ft was resolved to recommend to the board the boarding out of six pauper children as a trial. • The iv orthern Daily Expresi says:—" A. portion of the old stock of Government anchors, sold as • scrap iron,' have found their way to Sunderland. They were a portion of many thousands of tons of anchors manufac tured for Government, never used, and now sold as old iron. One of the anchors landed bears date 184 S, as the year of its manufacture, and has been made at Sunder kmd, so that, after lying twenty-two years in a Govern ment dockyard, it finds its way back to Sunderland, having never been in use for the whole of that period." The TI iltern Morning Ncics has received a com munication from Colonel J. C. Kirkham, commandant of the disciplined forces at Adwa, Abyssinia, who states that having been applied to by several gentlemen for appoint ments, he has submitted all their letters to Prince Kassa. of Tigre, who had desired him to state that any English man or other gentleman of a military capacity wishing tc Fin his force his Highness will receive with pleasure. urther information may be obtained from Mrs. Colons) Kirkham, Brunswick House, Dawlish.
