r' N a val and Military Intelligence. Captain his Royal Highness the Duke of Edin burgh arrived on Thursday night at Moorshead's Royal Hotel, Devonport, and on Friday morning went on board his ship, the Galatea, 26, which lies off Keybam steam-yard. His Royal Highness was occupied preparing her for sea all Friday and Saturday ; on the former day be dined with Port Admiral Sir William F. Martin, K.C.8., at Mount Wise, and on Saturday with Admiral-Superinten dent the Hon. James R. Drummond, C. 8., in De vonport dockyard. The armour-plated screw steamship Lord Clyde, 23, Capt. Roderick Dew, C. 8., was appointed to leave Plymouth Sound on Saturday evening for Spithead. She will, it is understood, be sent to the Mediterranean. The iron armour-plated ship Northumberland, 26, from Sheerness, is expected shortly at Plymouth. After a trial of her engines and machinery out side the breakwater on Thursday, the screw steam frigate Bristol, 31, Capt. Leveson E. H. Somerset, returned to Plymouth Sound. On Friday she shipped her powder, and on Saturday made a se cond trial in the offing. The shipwrights' work on her will be completed to-day, and during the week she will probably return to her station on the West Coast of Africa. The ventilation of 'tween decks has been greatly improved, and the hospital has been altered. The screw frigate Forte, 29, 2,364 tons, 400 horse-power, nominal, unarmoured, fitting for com mission, was on Saturday removed out of the steam basin, and placed at moorings in the Medway, where she is to be completed for the pennant. The screw corvette Barrosa, 21, 1,700 tons, 400 horse-power, was on Saturday removed from the great basin and placed in the third division of the steam reserve in the Medway, in readiness for being docked at Chatham for repair. _ . The Dee, 220 horse-power, paddle-wheel steamer, Master Commander G. Raymond, arrived at Chat ham on Saturday from the western ports, with stores and other articles for the use of the dockyard. Her Majesty's 5-gun screw vessel Speedwell, 428 tons and 80 horse power, Commander J. E. Erskine, ordered home from the West Coast of Africa, to be paid out of commission, arrived at Woolwich on Saturday and discharged her war stores at the red buoy off the Royal Arsenal. On Saturday a detachment of 108 non-commis sioned officers, drummers, and privates of the Cha tham division of the Royal Marines Light Infantry, under the command of Lieut. Wm. G. Hale and Second Lieut. F. Baldwin, left head-quarters, and embarked on board the screw line-of-battle steamer Rodney, 78, 500 horse power, Capt. A. C. F. Hene age, flagship of Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir H. Kep pel,K.C.B,Commauder-in-Chief in China and Japan. The Rodney is still short of her proper complement, and placards are posted throughout the portat Cha tham inviting petty officers and able seamen to join her. Col. Spencer Westmacott has been appointed to the command of the Royal Engineers at Sheerness, succeeding Col. S. Freeth, who has been appointed to the command of the Royal Engineers at St. Helena. During the past week the troops at Aldershott, under the command of Lieut-Gen. the Hon. Sir James Yorke-Scarlett, K.C.8., have been exercised in route-marching, field manoeuvres, and the use of the Snider breechloader. On Monday the 3d Hussars marched to Farnham, by way of Hale and Crondall, and returned to quarters by the turnpike road. On the same day, the 2d Infantry Brigade, under Gen. Campbell, consisting of the 18th Royal Irish and the 65th Regiment, were inspected on the Queen's Parade, South Camp, by the Lieut.-General Com manding, and went through various evolutions in a highly satisfactory manner. On Friday the Ist Infantry Brigade, consisting of the 89th (Princess Victoria's) Regiment, the 66th (Berkshire) Regi ment, and the 81st Loyal Lincoln Volunteers, were, inspected by Col. Boyle, Acting-Brigadier. After the inspection, the Brigadier presented medals for long service and good conduct to Cor poral Hugh Smith and Privates SAinuel Smith, James Kelly, and James Archer. The 89th (Prin cess Victoria's) Regiment, quartered in the North Camp, and for some time past the only regiment at Aldershot representing a third brigade, is now at tached to the Ist Brigade, which will be commanded by Col. Boyle during the absence on leave of Briga dier-Gen. Renny. _ _ The provisions of the Prevention of Contagious Diseases Act came into force at Aldershot on the Ist inst., when the police barracks, hitherto used by the local magistrates for holding the weekly petty sessions and for conanemeut of prisoners, were handed over to the authorities of the War Depart ment, and will be used for hospital purposes. The county police, with the exception of a sergeant and a constable, have been withdrawn from the neigh bourhood, and the nearest place where a prisoner apprehended at Aldershot can now be lodged is Odiham, about ten miles distant. Mr. Brand, M.P., on Reform. The Right Hon. H. Brand and Lord Pelham, the Liberal members for Lewes, addre.sed their consti tuents in the Public Lecture-hall on Friday evening last, Mr. B. Godlee presiding. Mr. Brand, who, on presenting himself, was loudly cheered, spoke at considerable length on the question of Reform, ob serving that such an increase had taken place since 1832 in the wealth and prosperity of the country— a working class having since that time sprung up which was then almost unknown—that a consider able extension of the franchise was demanded. Adverting to the bill which had been proposed by the late Government, he contended that it was an honest measure, framed with that ob ject, maintaining that with the view to passing it into law the Government had taken a wise course in separating the subject into two distinct parts. That, he aided, was no new opinion, so far as he was concerned. He bad, on the occasion of the withdrawal of the last Reform measure, introduced under the auspices of the Government of which Lord Palmerston was at the head, expressed it to be his belief that in future it would be difficult to carry any such measure if too much were at tempted ; whereupon that distinguished statesman made the characteristic remark, " Perhaps that may be so, but it is plain that the present House of Commons is not disposed to deal with Reform in any shape." Be that as it might, it was not a little strange that the moment the bill of the late Govern ment was introduced those who were opposed to all Reform sought to make it more comprehensive by demanding that with the question of the extension of the franchise that of the redistribution of scats as well as the the question of bribery and corruption should be coupled. The real truth, how ever, was that if an angel from heaven were to pre pare a reform bill some objection would be raised to it. The bill, he might add, was defeated, not so much owing to the attacks of its open enemies as to those of false friends. The Cave of Adullam sent out its gloomy and discontented spirits, who formed an unholy alliance with the Tories, and by their united exertions the bill was defeated. The bill was not, perhaps, perfect, but then it might easily have been amended in committee, and there were many who last year opposed it who now, he believed, re pented the course they had taken. One thing was certain—that if it had been passed the working classes, who were naturally anxious for the fran chise, would have been contented. In one respect he might add, and iu only one, had the position of the advocates of Reform been improved since last session. Since then the working classes had unmis takeably, but still in an orderly and proper manner, shown that they were not indifferent in the matter. There had been meetings of large masses of people in the different towns, and he was not aware that upon any one of these occasions the public peace had been broken, for the disturbances which took place in Hyde Park were, he maintained, the work of the roughs and idlers of Loudon. But although some thing had been gained since last session, the ques tion of Reform had since then in one important re spect receded. It had passed out of the hands of a Gladstone into those of a Disraeli, which would scarcely bethought an advantage by the working men mong whom the name of Gladstone was a house old word. It was not for him to lift the veil of mystery which hung over the proceedings of the present Go vernment on the subject; but if the Ministry of Lord Derby should present itself to the country as a Ministry of Reform it would be something like gathering grapes from thorns or figs from thistles. At the same time he for his own part should be happy to give to any measure of Reform which they might introduce the most favourable consideration. Lord Pelham, M.P., spoke in a similar strain on the Reform question. He also expressed his disapproval of ritualism, and said he was for the total abolition of church rates. His lordship was enthusiastically received. A vote of confidence in Mr. Brand and Lord Pelham was proposed and carried unanimously, and the meeting, which was a crowded one, then broke up. Mr. Bright as a Suffering Angel. There is much about Mr. Bright that is pathetic as well as poetical. No man is more thoroughly in earnest, or more unfeignedly amazed at the opposi tion that he meets with, or more truly unable to at tribute that opposition to anything but wilful blind ness, or sheer malignity, or the instigation of the Evil One. In all this he is like the orthodox be liever of the middle ages. He is, too, we believe, a really warm-hearted, if not a tender-hearted man, and loves his friends almost as fiercely as he hates his enemies. But it is too much when he comes out as he did on Wednesday at Rochdale, in the guise of the suffering angel—the meek man who turns his cheek to every smiter, who is always sinned against and never sinning, and who, in very truth, cannot comprehend what people mean by as sailing him. "Wondering (he says) at the various and continued assaults to which I am subjected, I ask myself why men should be so much more savage in political than in religious, literary, or scientific controversy ? No man living would in any other line pursue an antagonist with that rancorous spirit which is unfortunately introduced into political con troversy, and which has pursued me with unrelent ing animosity, not only for months, but for years past." Is Mr. Bright really unconscious that he brings all this upon himself, that he seldom opens his mouth without giving the bitterest offence, and that the anger and vindictiveness of which he complains are due far less to the things he does than to the manner in which he does them ? Almost in the same breath—certainly in the same hour—in which he utters the half pathetic and wondering appeal we have quoted, he denounces his opponents as " the miserable writers and speakers of a miserable and hateful fac tion," and describes himself as the victim of " an opposition conducted with a falsehood and a malice which know no scruple." Mr. Cobden held opinions nearly identical with those of Mr. Bright, and pur sued almost a parallel political course, yet he never excited that bitter enmity which attends on nearly every utterance of his coarser and rougher colleague, and went to his grave mourned by supporters and antagonists alike. But the member for Birming ham appears unconscious of the strange difference and its simple explanation ; he reviews, with a pride which is by no means unwarranted, the 25 years of his political career, the glorious victories he has won, the gallant exertions he has made ; but he adds, with a want of self-knowledge and an obtuseness of conscience which are almost surprising, that in all he has done in the course of that career he can find " nothing to condemn or to regret ;" he looks back on what he has done and the fashion of his workmanship, and " behold it is very good !" We have neither space nor inclination for a detailed dis cussion of his discursive speech, which, as usual, was full of vigour and empty of fairness ; but one or two passages call for comment. What does he mean when, after recalling the Indian mutiny and hinting that it came because his advica had been neglected, he adds parenthetically, " There will come another event before long ? " We presume the illusion was accompanied by some significant pantomime or ges ture which made it intelligible to his Rochdale audi ence, for it was greeted with loud cheers. Was he foolish enough to mean nothing at all, ®r wicked enough to mean what the juxtapositio❑ of the sen tences almost irresistibly suggests. Parliament, says Mr. Bright, " is paralysed for good." It cannot save the public money, it cannot reform the Church, it cannot reorganise the army, it cannot recoi.struct the navy, it cannot rectify the land laws of the em pire; it cannot, in a word, do a great many things that we, perhaps, as well as Mr. Bright, would wish to see done. There is much truth in the statement, only we read its teaching differently from the orator. Mr. Bright maintains that it cannot do these things because it is the creation of special classes, and that the great mass of the people are not represented in the House of Commons. We hold that it cannot and will not do these things because the nation as a whole—themajority of the influential, not merely of the represented classes—is not yet prepared to wish them done, because, in a word, the House repre sents but too faithfully the bigotry, the tardy move ments, the partial enlightenment of the country, its prejudices, and its fears.—Pall-mall Gazette. Miscellaneous American News. A convention representing the coloured men of the country met at Washington, on Thursday, Jan. 10, pursuant to a call issued by the National Equal Suffrage League. John M. Laughton, of Ohio, was chosen president, and B. M. Arnett secretary. Delegates from 12 States were present. They will petition Congress for impartial suffrage in all the States ; also to remove the tax on raw cotton, or amend the present law, so that there may be a dis tinction of tax for different grades. General R. R. Scott, Bureau Commissioner for South Carolina, has issued a circular letter to the planters and negroes of that State, in which he urges the former to educate the freedmen, and re commends the adoption of the labour system of the North and West—that is, pay each labourer by the day, week, or month. The freedmen he exhorts to honesty, industry, and thrift ; and he declares that, if a proper course is pursued by the white citizens, the resources of the State will be more fully de veloped than heretofore. An interesting race has taken place between two American clipper ships, the Luis Walsh and the Charlotte W. White, both of Belfast, Maine, from Callao to Algesiras. These two vessels sailed from Calloa on the 26th of September last, and kept company for fifty-four days, passing Cape Horn on the twenty-sixth day. They parted in lat. 20 S., long. 21 W., crossing the line in sixty-five days, losing the N.E. trades in lat. 28, long. 36 W., after which time they had light east winds for seventeen days, and came in company again on the 30th of December, but parted the same evening. On the 9th of January they met again off Gibraltar, when the Luis Walsh won the raca by twenty-five minutes, after a passage of 104 days. The climate has had a sad effect upon the Maine colonists at Jaffa, and twelve of them have died. Among the losses at the great fire at Yokohama, Japan, on the 26th of last November, were the archives of the United States consulate. These were first rescued by Consul Fisher from the office and placed in the bonded warehouse, which was soon after also destroyed, with all its contents, at a loss of $160,000. A large portion of the archives of other consulates were burned, and the French consul lost his office and all his private property. A. It. Spofford, the librarian of the congressional library at Washington, gives the following interest ing facts in his annual report :—The extensions of the library are nearly completed, and the total length of iron shelving is now 21,360 feet, which will afford space for about 170,000 volumes. Adding the shelf accommodations of the law library room and the attic room, the entire length of shelving is nearly five miles. The rooms are now fireproof, being constructed of solid iron through out, and future accessions to its stores, as well as the present accumulation of valuable works, are secure from a casualty which has twice consumed our national library. The accessions during the past year were 7,251 volumes, which bring the aggregate number of volumes in the library up to 99,650, exclusive of the 40,000 volumes of the library be longing to the Smithsonian Institution, which have been removed to the Capitol. The union of the two libraries will prove doubly advantageous to THE SUN, LOiNtiON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 4 1867. those heretofore resorting to either, and will insure the r apid growth of a great and truly national library, with far greater economy of means than would attend the duplication, so to speak, of two lara•e libraries at the seat of Government. Vie Massachusetts whaling vessels for 1866 num bered 311, an increase of 42 over last year, and re gistered a tonnage of 73,20, an increase of 7,018. The year has been generally successful, and the price of dioil unusually high, having been quoted in August at $2 75e. per gallon, the highest ever known. The average price has been $1 24c., and good oil now sells for $1 10c. The Boston banks have decided to take no more trunks packages of valuables to hold simply for safe keeping, and have requested the owners to re move thove now in their possession. It is an un settled legal question whether the banks are respon sible for them if they arc stolen, or have the right to deliver them to any other than a legal agent or heir of the depositor. The practice has been on the whole of more trouble to the banks than conve nience to their patrons, and they have concluded to discontinue it. A new wharf, nearly 1,000 feet long, has been built at Portland since the great fire, almost entirely of the debris from the ruins of the sugar-house, and when completed will be one of the most spacious wharfs in the port. An immense warehouse for molasses and sugar is being built on the wharf by Churchill, Browns, an Manson. The duties assessed at the Portland Custom-house last year amounted to $7,619,081, or an increase of 82 per eent. over 1865, and the value of the imports was $14,501,348, an increase in the year of 78 per cent. A person can now travel from Denver, under the Rocky Mountains, to New York city, from Monday to Saturday. A great effort is to be made to induce the Illinois legislature to authorise the extension and enlarge ment of the canals of the state so as to establish water communication between Chicago and the Mississippi river. It will cost $4,000,000. Only sixty miles of- new canal are needed to complete the connection, with a proposed feeder from Rock Island, from a point near Dixon. When this work is done, barges can be loaded at any point on the Mississippi and sent through direct to Chicago, The following are the yields of the principal mines on the Comstock (silver) lode in Nevada for 1866: —Gould and Curry mines $1,600,000, dividends $150,000; Hale and Norcross $1,200,000, dividends $250,000 ; Yellow Jacket $2,300,000, dividends $390,000 ; Crown Point $1,273,000, dividends $234,000 ; Ophir $450,000, no dividends ; Imperial for the last eighteen months $1,252,000, dividends $376,000 ; Savage for last six months $1,100,000, dividends $360,000. Some of the gold mines in California make the following favourable returns : —The Eureka mine in Grass Valley produced last year $600,000, and earned $420,000 net profits. One-fortieth of this mine has been lately sold for $175,000. The Eureka mines of Almador county yielded $485,000, with a profit of $310,000. The North Star mine yielded $922,800, with a profit of $132,000. The Sierra Buttes claim yielded last year $225,000, with net earnings of $138,000. For the last five years this mine has averaged about the same results, and was recently sold for $575,000 to Philip S. Van Rensselaer, of New York. AN INGENIOUS INVENTION.—The New York Times says a collection of the sanitary inventions and im provements made and used during the rebellion left New York a few days ago for the Paris Exposition. Among the lot is an hospital car, the interior ar rangements of which are as follows :—" At one end is an apparatus for heating tea, coffee, and water, and in the same end is an ice-water tank, opposite is a lounge, which can be converted into a dissecting table by removing the top— an apothecary's shop completes the furniture. At the otherend are a wash room, closet, and stove. Thirty stretchers, swung on indiarubber loops, fill the remainder of the car, leaving a Rissage way through the centre. " A patent stove, with hot air pipes, connected un derneath the car with six registers, which can be opened or shut at will. A Christian Commission coffee waggon, in use in the field at the time of Lee's surrender, will probably attract some atten tion. interestingnthteeanr Commission rry o y s tc t h ionngltntihs sai c furnished lesn the c t w i o , o i l t n l i e i . c t s i a o O ni n n p i e l s e o s a f S o t i f i h n e e i t ve a tn dispensed during the various campai • gns. Desic cated and preserved food of all kinds, clothing and cooking apparatus, arc among the articles to be found in the tent. The whole cost of the collection will probably exceed $25,000. GOLD FOR TIIE MILLION.—The address of Gov. Evans, of Colorado, on the mineral resources of that territory, shows that if we do not have a gold and silver currency again in a short while, it will not be because we have not abundance of the pre cious metals within easy reach. The metallic sup plies from Colorado and Nevada within the last six years, with all the drawbacks to production, have been large enough to justify the earlier predictions regarding that region. Individual failures and personal disappointments cannot be held to affect the general result ; and the aggregate returns, as set forth in official documents, give the true data by which to fix our measurements. But for these we should be compelled to regard as altogether fabulous such statements as have recently been put forth by the two ex-Go vernors of Colorado—Evaus and Gilpin—state ments which they declare to be based upon the explorations and investigations of which they have been personally cognisant in their official capacity. For example, Governor (now Senator) Evans, in his speech before the Chicago Board of Trade, uttered the following glittering sentences among many others of like character :—" But to give you some idea of its immediate future increase and importance, I will state a few facts with which I am personally acquainted as to the natural resources of the country. Lying along the great Cordilleras, or snowy range which divides the waters of the Atlantic from those of the Pacific Ocean, directly west of Denver City, extend ing from near the base of Long's Peak in a southerly direction for over 200 miles in Colorado, is what I believe to be the most extensive and richest mineral belt of country in the world. From five to 15 miles wide for this vast extent, the mountains are literally gridironed over with gold, silver, copper, lead-bearing lodes, many of them known to be of great extent and unsurpassed richness. While many of them, of course, are too narrow or too poor to pay for working, I believe that enough that are extensive and rich have already been discovered to.give pro fitable employment to a million of men. And the extensive discoveries that have been made the past year, assure us of a vast increase in their number in the future."—Extract from the New York Times. TIIE RIVER ST. LAWRENCE AT THE LACHINE RAPIDS.—The people of Montreal are discussing a scheme for utilising the immense water power of the St. Lawrence River at the Lachine Rapids. These rapids are about one mile in length, and the fall of water in that distance is about twenty-five-feet. The seources of the water supply are vast and varied, and subject to so many compensating influences that the river is not materially affected either by floods or droughts. The hydraulic power at the rapids is estimated to be equal to the combinedforces of four million of horses, and various plans to turn the motive power to account have been suggested, but not till now has a plan been hit upon that appears feasible. This plan embodies three prin cipal features. First, it is proposed to turn the stream gliding between the islands in the rapids into a great continuous mill-stream for the manu factories to be built on the islands. Secondly, it is intended to construct a great dam from the islands to the northern or Montreal bank of the river, two thousand eight hundred feet in length, wide enough for a double railway track, a carriage road and foot paths, and high enough to retain all the head water of the north channel, which, by running a pier a short distance up from the uppermost island, can be made from sixteen to eighteen feet. Below the dam, along the rocky bed of the arrested north channel waters, mills are to be erected. Above the dam will be an immense and placid mill pond, into which great rafts of timber from the Ottawa and elsewhere may be easily floated to be sawn by the mills below. Thirdly, it is proposed to excavate a canal three or six hundred feet wide andfourteen feet deep, commencing a short distance above the dam, and running nearly parallel to the river about a thousand feet from its bank down to the valley of the river St. Pierre. Mills are to be built along the canal throwing their tail water into the river. Mills would be built also along the valley of the St. Pierre. It is calculated that the hydraulic power thus controlled will be sufficient to drive all the mills for whose location space can be found within proper distances. It is intended likewise that the water of the canal should supply increased pumping power for the city water works, and, when needed, fill docks for ocean going steamers. It is antici pated that the construction of the projected dam will greatly relieve Montreal from the yearly dan ger and inconvenience arising from the accumula tion of packed ice ; as much of the ice packing takes place on the rapids along the northern channel. To accomplish this great work a company, with a pro posed capital of two millions of dollars, has been formed, and has already given notification of its in tention to apply for a charter, or has made the re quisite application.— The Springfield Weekly Re publican. General Longstreet lately related the following incident in Texas :—" On one occasion General Lee called Colonel L., one of his staff officers, into his tent, and commenced dictating while Colonel L. wrote: Colonel L. had in his mouth a pipe, and was smoking. The general inhaled the noxious vapour until his patience became exhausted, and then said, ' Colonel L. you can retire, and send me Colonel I\L, he does not smoke.' Colonel L. retired, and in a few minutes Colonel M. entered, to whom the gene ral commenced dictating, but after inhaling the at mosphere of the tent for awhile, be discovered it to be considerably impregnated, not with the perfume of roses, but the odious smell of villainous whisky, which he could not stand. Retire, Colonel M., and send me an officer who neither drinks nor smokes ; I would rather endure the smoke of tobacco than the smell of whisky." The board of directors of the Louisville and Nash ville railroad, at a recent meeting held in Louisville. declared a dividend of four per cent., from the Ist of July to the Ist of January, payable on the Ist of February next.

At New Orleans, on the Gth, a dinner was given to Mr. John Francis Maguire, editor of the Cork Examiner, and M.P. Generals Hood and Buckner were among the guests. POLYGAMY AT UTAIL—The abolition of slavery seems likely to be closely followed by a move ment for the abolition of polygamy in the Re public, since the bill introduced by Senator Howard aims at no thi ng l ess th an the extir pation of the system i n Ut a h, where it has so long been permitted to flourish. We have been sneered at not a little by foreign censors for allow ing this blot to remain unexpunged in the heart of the national territory. But such critics have hardly sufficiently considered the difficulties of reaching the strong arm over a thousand miles of desert, where neither railways nor water-course supply the means for conveying troops or their need ful stores. Even now it is open to grave question whether, considering the vast diffi culties and expenses of a forcible abolition of polygamy throughout the Mormon territory, it may be expedient to attempt it. Two or three hundred miles added to the Pacific Railway will, of course, put a different face on affairs. In the presence of certain means to conquer opposition, opposition would probably not be offered ; in the absence of those obvious means it might, and doubtless would, prove obstinate and bloody. It will be easy in a short time to crush polygamy as well as to denounce it. For the immediate present such fulminations appear to smack, like Mr. Lincoln's first proposed ban against slavery, of the dubious quality of a " Pope's bull against the comet," and therefore, for the sake of dignity as well as policy, might be better kept in reserve.—The Round Table. A correspondent of the Pall-Mall Gazette gives us some idea what taxation means just now in the United States. Ile takes a woollen manufactory in Massachusetts as an example. A. woollen mill, he says, is taxed from 10 to 50 per cent. on the wool which it buys from England, Australia, or elsewhere, and more than that on all the dye goods imported for it. Then it pays a monthly tax of 5 per cent. on every yard of cloth which is manufac tured, even though it should be sold at a loss ; this is for the benefit of the general Government. And for the benefit of the State Government it pays once a year a tax of 11 per cent. on its valuation as a mill, and on all the capital sunk in it. A mill employing 1,400 people pays to the Government in direct taxes 400,000 dollars, or £BO,OOO, and when the proprietors divide the profit of their business, then they have to pay 10 per cent. on their in dividual shares of the profits as income-tax. At present many mills are being closed. MR. BEECHER'S PEW LETTING.—The annual let ting of pews in Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, took place on the evening of the Bth inst., before a very large congregation, Mr. Pillsbury officiating as auctioneer. The highest premium offered was $550, but several choice pews fetched above $3OO premium. The total reeeipts last year for pew rents and premiums amounted to s43,ooo—this year they will exceed $50,000. All but a few back seats were disposed of at the auction.—New York Times. SHEEP LANDS OF AMERICA.—Dr. Norton S. Townshend, of Lorain County, Ohio, contributes an article to the Ohio Farmer on the wool-growing capabilities of the West. Ile says—" In Minnesota, lowa, Missouri, Eastern Kansas, Arkansas, and Texas, are lands well adapted to general cutlivation ; but in all of these States are extensive prairies which may much more profitably be devoted to pasturage than tillage. In Nebraska, Western Kansas, Western Texas, and New Mexico, is Ln im mense range, of nearly a million of square miles in extent, which has not rain enough for general cultivation, but much of which is adapted to wool-growing, having at thousands of points water enough for large flocks, and grass without limit. Unless the natural grasses or the immense prairies and plains of the West can be utilised by sheep a large portion of our country is for the present nearly valueless. NAVAL.—RoyaI Alfred, 18, iron screw frigate, Captain Francis A. Herbert, fitting for the North America and West India station, was placed in No. 11 dock at Portsmouth on Monday last for examina tion below water-line. New Hampshire paid last year $3,424,917 in internal revenue taxes, or $10,47 for each inhabi tant. Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York were the only States in the Union that paid a greater amount in proportion to their population. Maine lost 10,000 men in the war, and 25,000 had come home alive but hopelessly tlOabled for life. numba of men furnished was 580 in excess of all calls. Fifteen thcusand mechanics are at present out of work in New York city. The cost of the buildings erected in Chicago last year was, in round numbers, $8,000,000. Two distinct shocks of earthquake have been felt in Monroe and Livingston counties. It is said that a society of smokers was formed at Berlin two years ago, the members of which agreed to preserve all the points of their -curs, instead of biting them off and throwing them away. The money procured by the sale of these bits is applied to the maintenance and education of orphan children and twenty-one are now supported by it. Hamilton and Hobart colleges are having some thing of a dispute as to which institution can pro perly claim orange as their ribbon—both colleges saying they adopted it first. They have flying squirrels in California. Pekin is going to have an American college. The mouth of the Amazon is large enough to take in the States of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The city authorities of Memphis have ordered the discontinuance of smoking on the streets, ou Sunday. The tobacco crop in Missouri this year is estimated at from twelve to fifteen thousand hogs heads. The California end of the Pacific Railroad will be higher than the passes of the Alps. A man has been fined in Detroit for kicking a dog. Three hundred Scottish agriculturists are on their way to Texas.

E.:ldatthews. (From the Anglo-American Times.) The R e v. Edward Matthews has been fortunate enough to associate his name with the most extraor dinary chapter of the world' s hi story s i nce the in troduction of Christianity. His illustrious kinsman, Father Matthew, devoted the labours of a life to the cause of temperance. He worked among his own countrymen for the good of his fellow-citizens—for a direct object, the result of which he could see and appreciate on the spot. Ms. Matthews toiled in the wilds of a new country, among a people hostile to the cause he espoused, for the benefit of a race who were kindred to him only as being of the same human family. The exertions of the Roman Catholic priest were attended with immediate effect ; those around him recognised his efforts and appreciated his motives ; he saw vast crowds moved by his eloquence and stimulated by his example ; he saw wretchedness and penury turn under his benign in fluence to happiness and plenty ; irreligion and crime give place to religion and virtue, and a nation steeped in the vice of drunkenness rise to sobriety, morality, and order. This was a vast change, and one worth a life's devotion. But great as it was, it was still as nothing compared to the change wit nessed by the Oxford Baptist missionary. The in terest that attaches to the autobiography of Mr. Matthews rests in his connection with the great move ment which finally gave liberty to 4,000,000 of slaves, and revolutionised the social relations of a conti nent. The efforts of the author of this book were like the planting of the grain of mustard seed— so small as scarcely to be noticed, yet growing quickly into a tree, in which birds seek a place to roost. From the days when he first lectured on slavery as the sum of all villanies in the scattered villages of Wisconsin and Illinois, and brought on himself the hostility of the inhabitants—to the period, when increased to great cities, they mar shalled their regiments to fight in the very cause, whose apostle thy then denounced a quarter of a century had not elapsed. But what a change had been wrought ! The wild territories of his early labours had become powerful, populous States of the Union. The indifference, and even enmity, of the people to the cause he had espoused had changed into a fixed principle of national policy and he who had gone forth as a minister of peace under the auspices of those whose abiding principle it was to work only by the force of reason and of public opinion (denouncing a resort to carnal weapons as a crime), saw his cause blazoned on the banners of mighty lines arrayed for battle, and the fields of the Union drenched in the blood of its inhabitants. Never was there a more pointed illustration of the truth that man proposes, but God disposes. Perhaps, throughout the Union, no man would have been more sur prised than Mr. Matthews himself, could the result to which his labours tended have been unfolded to his view. Yet on calmly re viewing his career, it must now be apparent to our author that the convulsion could .not have been avoided. The growth of Northern opinion in the direction given to it by Mr. Matthews and other missionaries of the anti-slavery societies, was, in the end, certain to produce an explosion. The South had determined to meet argument by force if neces sary. One by one they saw their safeguards broken down. As they were beaten in the organs which influence public opinion, they saw that the time approached when they must either secede or fight. They were not to be reasoned out of the domestic institution ; yet they had to meet the feeling of the North, every day growing more powerful and hostile to slavery. Their antecedents showed, that, if necessary, they would fight, but not yield an inch. They were an aristocratic and haughty race, and fight they did, with a gallantry worthy of a better cause, and with a self-devotion which excited the admiration of the whole world. The most interesting portion of the book gives the account of the struggle in the Church itself against the influence exercised in the South over its ministers. When Mr. Matthews appeared on the scene, the South ruled in the Senate, in the pulpit, and in the press. They were a compact and united body, with one object—to maintain the institution of slavery. Such mis sionaries as Mr. Matthews were regarded as fanatics and firebrands, and, in truth, they were firebrands, engaged in piling up materials destined to produce the greatest conflagration the world had ever seen. It required no ordinary determination and spirit of devotion to face the enmity then everywhere met. Persecution, however, • produced its usual re sult. From the ashes of one martyr sprang a dozen Reformers. The indignities offered by a mob to one missionary roused the attention of scores of earnest men. Steady perseverance and unflinching courage, and meekness under suffering, produced the desired end. A spirit of inquiry was raised, fanned by lectures and satisfied by widely-spread publications. By degrees slavery became the great question, and as it grew in pro portions the influence of the slaveholder was'under mined throughout the North. The result was felt in the ballot-box, in the pulpit, and in the press. There may be many minor causes which led to the great Civil War ; but this fact is certain, that slavery was at the root of the conflict, and slavery fell, with the triumph of the Northern arms. This book is intended to throw a light on the rise and progress of the great party who were the instru ments in accomplishing this downfal. Mr. Handel Cossham introduces the author in a preface, and Mr. Matthews proceeds at once to show the objects he has in view in publishing his autobiography. His personal adventures are mainly selected, as sketches and illustrations of the state of society in connection with the objects he strove to accomplish. To show the growth of the slaveholders' power, he give summaries of the leading acts of the Presidents he selects. To bring out their policy in the strongest colour, he contrasts them with each other. Thus Washington is contrasted with Jefferson—the elder, with the younger Adams ; Maddison with Monroe, and so on. He uses these as his own history progresses, and thus we obtain a general idea of the policy of the slave-holding power. Mr. Matthews speaks plainly. He writes in ehort and concise sentences—almost abrupt--and neither disguises nor palliates anything. At first he had to fight what appeared to be a hopeless battle. Outside the people were ignorant, indifferent, or hostile to the movement ; inside, the ministers of the Church were either openly or secretly arrayed in the inte rests of the slaveholders. One of his greatest struggles was to undo the work of the Rev. James Mitchell, who had sent two young women from Wisconsin into the South to slavery. lie agitated the matter with the greatest determination, and finally succeeded in procuring at least the liberotion of one, and in showing up the reverend gentleman in spite of the strong opposition of the Church. To be pelted with eggs, to rise in the night, and have to fly for his life from a pursuing mob, were frequent incidents in his career. But these were trials less difficult to encounter than than the hostility of the ministers of the denomina tion to which he belonged. We do not intend to lessen interest in the perusal of the autobio graphy by making extracts from the work. Our object is simply to call attention to it as a plain concise statement of the early struggles in forming a party destined to produce such astonishing re. sults. Graphic sketches are given of those who became prominent in the movement, a body of men who have excited a keen interest among the influential party in England, who favour the cause. Indeed self-devotion must ever influence a strong effect in the Anglo-Saxon mind, and that influence is increased where grand results are achieve]. Mr. Mathews was born at Oxford in 1812 ; he began his labours in the great West in 1838, and left America on a mission to England, in 1851. Although the period which he spent in the United States, was precisely that when the power of the South seemed to have culminated to its greatest strength, it was in truth the time when the seeds were sown which afterwards produced such an extraordinary harvest, ending in the down fall of the dominant institution it upheld. This missionary made himself so prominent by his labours that he was selected as the original of one of Mrs. Stowc's characters in her story of "Dred." The autobiography before us gives another ex ample of what may be accomplished by the single efforts of a man who becomes penetrated with one absorbing idea —to benefit his fellows, and devotes himself to its realisation. There are few so unsel fish as to act thus, but when they do their power becomes almost invincible. It is thus that many have attained to eminence in the world ; but the Rev. E. Matthe xs's work is not yet complete. The fabric of negro slavery has been pulled down, but the fabric of negro society yet remains to be constructed. Ignorance and prejudice have to be dissipated, labour and thrift to be encouraged, social relations to be regulated, and, above all, religious principles to be inculcated. The field of labour is large, and there is room for the work of many missionaries of Mr. Matthews's type. TIIE CHAMPIONSIIIP.—THE UNKNOWN NAMED. —Soon after ten o'clock on Friday night Jere Mace called at our office, as ho had promised, and requested our advice on what, appeared to him a great difficulty. It 'seems that in :a former !encounter with Joe Goss in the prize ring ho sustained an injury, which though not of a very serious character, yet made it very doubtful whether the necessary training and its accompaniments for a great fight would not be followed by a complete break down. That he had then no alternative but to name Joe Goss as the Unknown put forward by him to contend with Baldwin, and that he had that day received a telegram from Joe authorising him to do as he pleased in the matter. Goss is, therefore, the man who will hence forth appear in these columns as the opponent of Baldwin in the fight for the championship. It is only justice to Jem Mace the world should know that on making the match he had no other competitor for Baldwin than himself ; in deed, up to the hour mentioned yesterday, he could hardly bring himself to admit the impossibility of getting fit by the time, but necessity became his master, and at the last moment ho named his friend and late antagonist to sup port those honours which he had hoped himself to dis pute.—Bell's Life. COMMENCEMENT OF THE SALMON-FISHING SEA SON.—On Friday night the " fence-time" on sal mon and trout streams expired, and on Saturday the open season commenced. With this season the Amended Sal mon Fishery Act, passed last session, comes into full open ration, and it is desirable it should bo known that it is now illegal to fish for salmon without a license, and that any person so doing is liable to a penalty of double the amount of license duty and 5 if ho uses a rod and line, and of double the amount of license duty and £2O if he makes use of any other instrument or device. The conservators of the Severn fishery district have published a digest of the principal offences against the fishery laws, and a scale of the cost of licenses, which have been approved by the Sec retary of State. The latter range from 10s. for permission lo use a rod and line, up to £lO for license to catch sal mon by means of a weir-trap. THE STEAMERS CITY OF ANTWERP AND CITY OF LONDON. (From Liverpool Journal of Commerce.) The steamship City of Antwerp, a new vessel just completed by Messrs. Tod and M'Gregor for the Inman line, left the Clyde on Tuesday night, and arrived in the Mersey on Wednesday about 11 a.m. She passed the Cloch Light at 5. 15 p.m., and the Cumbrae at 6.15 p.m., making the run against a head wind in a few seconds over the hour, at the rate of 13:1 knots, or 151 statute miles per hour. The weather was very stormy, and Ailsa Craig and the Calf of Man were passed without being seen, the Great Ormshead, on the coast of Wales, being the first point sighted. The Bell Buoy was passed at 10.201 and the Rock Light at 10.53 a.m., the distance of nearly 10 knots being made in less than 33 minutes. She will be at once placed on the station between this port and New York. The dimensions of the City of Antwerp are as follows :—Length of keel and foresake, 320 feet ; breadth, moulded, 39 feet ; depth, moulded, 271 feet; propelled by engines of 400-horse power, constructed on the horizontal trunk principle, with all recent improvements. The addition of such a vessel to the Inman line is ell' dence of there being no lack of that enterprise for which the line has been characterised, in providing first-class vessels to meet the requirements of the ever-expanding Transatlantic trade. The City of London, belonging to the same line of Atlantic steamers, having gone to the Clyde to have new engines and boilers from her builders; Messrs. Tod and M‘Gregor, her owners also con tracted with that firm to have her length increa§ed 39 feet amidships. The process of launching the forward half of the vessel was successfully accom plished on Tuesday, in Messrs. Tod and M‘Gregor's graving dock, in presence of W. Inman, Rig., of the Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia line. The increase in length will now be built up amid ships in the vessel, the materials for which are all prepared ; and her dimensions, when completed, will then be—length of keel and forerake, 361 feet ; breadth, moulded, 40 feet ; depth, 27f feet. Thi s perhaps is the largest vessel ever attempted to be taken asunder ; and, considering the disadvantages under which the operation was laid, on account of the severe frost, it is matter of congratulation to all concerned that the result has been so suc cessful.
