Sheffield Trades' Union Commission. FIFTEENTH DAY (SATURDAY). The interest manifested in the proceedings of the Sheffield Trades Union Commission had not at all diminished on Saturday. The court was again crowded. The first witness called was Samuel Crookes. Mr. Overend cautioned him against being in any way reticent with respect to any outrages which he might have committed himself, or which he might know to have been perpetrated by others. He was in the greatest peril—his life even was in jeopardy ; but if he would now tell the truth, he would obtain his certificate, and the falsehood which he had already told to the commissioners would be overlooked. He wal then examined at great length. First he wr.s asked about the murder of Linley. lie did shoot him, but had no intention of killing him. Broadhead bad never given instructions that Lin ley was to be shot in the ear. Hawing seen in the newspapers a statement to the effect that he had shot Linley i❑ the forehead, the witness was parti cular in explaining that he having so hit him was was in consequence of somebody else being in the room when the shot was fired. There was some thing he had previously omitted with respect to the first time that Linley was shot. He used the air gun then, but left a pistol in the street to make it appear that the wound resulted from a pistol shot. Besides having shot Linley twice he had also attempted to blow him up at a time when he was lodging at a butcher's. Early one morning he thrustpowder into the cellar grate, lit the fuse, and let things take their chance. He did not know much about what family the butcher had. When asked what he received for that job, he said he thought it was £l5, but he could not say. He had had so many cases that he could not well remember. One of his cases was Samuel Baxter, of Loxlcy. He _ _ blew him up by dropping powder down the chimney. That was another of the jobs he did for Broadhead, and for which he got about the regular thing, £l5. Thomas Needham assisted him in doing B.►xter. When asked what reason he had for blowing up Baxter, he said he had no reason except that Broadhead ordered him to do it. He never asked for a reason. He also blew up Joseph Wilson in Headfort- street, and got £l5 froth Broadhead. He attempted, on Broad- head's instructions, to blow up Reaney'a wheel, but did not succeed. Still he received his £l5. He bad nothing to do with blowing up Firth's boiler, but wished to explain something. He received orders to do it from Broadhead, and went to put some powder down the chimney, but he could not get it down. He carried a ladder from a place just below, where they were building some houses ; but when he got to Firth's place he found that it (the ladder) was so heavy that he could not rear it against the chimney. He then tried to thrust the powder in at the window, but he could not, because of iron bars. He then placed it on the sill, and fastening it to some of the iron bars only managed to blow in the window frame. So he had nothing to do with the boiler. He believed he got the £l5 for that job too, but he had some difficulty about it. Broadhead saw that he had not done much damage, and did not think he deserved the money. In order to get money from Broadhead the more freely, he was in the habit of saying that he had engaged " Nunks," or some other body, who was really ficti tious, to assist him, and that he was bound to pay them. Of course with Broadhead a bargain was a bargain ; but in many cases, if the thing had not done any harm, there was a shufing about the pay. It was then that he used to tell him he had engaged another man, and had to pay him. Of course that was all false ; but it suited his end. On one occa sion witness attempted to shoot John Hellewell, at Firth's, and on that job was assisted by Hallam. Their instructions were to hurt and not to kill him. The air-gun was the weapon. They went clown— witness and Hallam—one night just before Christ- The place was lit up, and they saw two men, named Wosdhead and JY,:" Woollen, work ing. When they first boked through the window they thought Woodhead was Relic well, and would have shot him if they had not found out their mistake. They never had a chance at Hellewell. They had the Wheatman and Smith job on at the same time, and Broadhead told them that was the most im portant. He was not aware that they got any thing for the Hellewill job, not having " done it." They did not get money that easy. He denied having shot Elisha Parker, but confessed to going to Derby to see Needham to make him all square if any one should question him about the outrage in which he had been concerned. He got the money for that from Thompson, the secretary of the scythe grinders. The same man also gave him money for Needham's wife whilst he lay in prison. He helped Needham in one job, putting powder down a chimney at Dronfield. Witness then referred to the Hereford-street outrage. Joseph Copley as sisted at that, and Broadhead paid. He did not know that the secretaries of other societies were con cerned in that case. With respect to Harry Holdsworth, he said that Broadhead hired him to blow him up, because he had outlaws working for him. Witness put powder down his chimney. That was another £l5 job, but he did not always get paid up. Money was sometimes deducted for " Natty," which he contrived always to keep a little in arrear. He had to confess to being concerned in Sutcliffe's case, although Hallam had not impli cated him. They had each a life-preserver, and each struck him. The price paid for that was £7. He went with Hallam for the last sovereign, and stood on Snigg-hill whilst Hallam went up a passage to Bromehead. Hallam had to hold Bromehead up whilst another man went to get the sovereign. He also had to do with blowing up Crookes and Ro berts. It was for some trade reason, but he did not remember what. Needham helped him. lie wanted to speak of things he had done more than ten years ago, but Mr. Overend stopped him, say ing that they had no authority to question him about them. In reply he said he wanted to make a clean breast of it. Being asked if he had told of all he knew had been done within the ten years, he said he could not remember, but there might be some thing else, if they read over the cases to him he had mentioned. Mr. 0 verend (reading)—You shot Linley twice; blew up Wheatman and Smith, Baxter, Joseph Wilson, Reaney's Wheel, and Joseph Hellewell, at Blonk Wheel. There was the case of John Helle well you were to shoot. Crookes--I didn't do him any harm. Mr. Overend—No, Elisha Parker you said you bad nothing to do with, but there was the Hereford street outrage. Are there are any other things within the last ten years ?—I think not. He was asked about the threatening letters, and said he had little to do with them. It was his main aim to keep quiet, and he " never did a deal in the note business." He did not do much in rattening either. He did the greater jobs ; rattening was not worth bothering about. He had heard of " Slipper Jack," but did not know who he was. All he knew about him was that he had a great name. Mr. Overend asked him what he meant by a " great name," and he replied, " Well, you know, sir, I have a great name now." Joseph Copley was called, and deposed to having been concerned in the Hereford-street outrage. It was his first job of the kind, and he received a sove- m as. reign for it. George Peace was then called, and he confessed to haying engaged a man to " do" Elisha Parker —not to kill him, but to stop him from working. He engaged John Hall to do it. He did not give him p irticular orders as to whether he was to shoot or to blow him up. Broadhead wanted something done, but he was not to " injure" Parker. He was not aware whether Hall was one of the men who were engaged to shoot Parker. He (witness) only engag ed Hall to frighten him. When asked how he paid Hall he said he did it by putting the money by instalments under a stone. In all he paid him about £9. He was closely pressed about his know ledge respecting the shooting of Parker, and at last confessed to hearing shots. Besides the £9 for the job, he also gave Hall about £l3 to pay his ex penses to America. Peace is in appearance one of the most respectable working men it is possible to meet with. His mere appearance created great surprise that he should have taken part in such a diabolical act as the shooting of Parker. The sur prise was increased when it came out that at the time he lent himself to Broadhead's designs he was not only saw-grinder employing subordinates, but a well-to-do farmer and colliery master, and that he hired one of his own labourers.to do the deed. He has not prospered since he yielded to the tempta tions of Broadhead, but his trade still enables him to occupy a £lO house in Washington-road and make a most respectable appearance. The court adjourned until this (Monday) morning. THE LOSS OF THE PRINCE CONSORT STEAMER. OFFICIAL REPORT. To the Lords of the Committee of the Privy Council for Trade. My Lords,—ln accordance with your instructions we, the undersigned two justices of the peace for the county of Aberdeen, have held an official inquiry into the circumstances attending the total loss of the paddle steamer Prince Consort, at about five o'clock a.m. on the 11th of May last, upon a rock ca ll e d the Alten, just off the village of Burnbanks, about three miles to the southward of the Girdle ness, or the entrance to the harbour of Aberdeen. We have been assisted in this inquiry by Captains Baker and Forbes, the Nautical Assessors appointed by your Board, and we have now the honour to report. The Prince Consort was a paddle wheel steamer, built of iron at Glasgow in the year 1858, and registered at Aberdeen early in that year, her gross tonnage being 672 and her re gister tonnage 392 tons. She was owned by the Aberdeen, Leith, and Clyde Shipping Company. She was schooner-rigged, with two masts. She was 222 feet long, 25 feet beam, and had 14 feet depth of hold. She had two direct acting, oscillating engines of the combined power of 300 horses, and was commanded by Mr. Robert Parrott, who holds a renewed certificate of service dated originally in August, 1856. The Prince Consort sustained some material damage in 1863, which necessitated exten sive repairs. These being carried out, she was classed A 1 at Lloyd's for nine years. The ship appears to have been well found and equipped in every respect, having the number of boats required by regulation, and they seem to have been fitted with _ ... _ oars and rowlocks ready for immediate use. The ship had a crew of 32 hands all told, and she pro- ceeded to sea from Granton on Friday evening, the 10th of May last, having on board between 60 and 70 passengers, first and second class. The correct number is unknown. She was bound to Aberdeen, Wick, Kirkwall, and Lerwick, with a general cargo on board, her draught of water being about 10ft. 6in. By the testimony of all the wit nesses the weather was very foggy at the time of the vessel leaving Granton, but did not appear to have caused any alarm either to the commander or offi- cers, the latter asserting that they had often put to sea in weather more dense than it was on the night of the 10th. Nor did the passengers seem to have considered that it was dangerous to proceed. On leaving the pier at Granton the wind was moderate E.N.E. The vessel was kept at about half speed down the Frith of Forth, nothing having been seen but one buoy, called the Fairway Buoy, which was passed close to, continuing on her course till the master supposed the ship to be about N.E. by E. from lnchkeith, distant about two miles, this supposed position being verified by three casts of the lead, which had been taken at short intervals before 8 p.m., the soundings obtained being 16, 19, and 22 fathoms. From this supposed position a course was shaped E. N., 28 miles being run upon this course. The weather by this time getting more dense gradually, from this a N.E. by E. E. course was steered, and, by the master's showing, half a point was allowed for the ebb tide. After running 10 miles on this course the master supposed the ship's position to be about six miles to the east-south-eastward of the Bell Rock, but in all probability she was much nearer, or it would be difficult to account for the ship's close proximity to the land just before she struck, as the courses steered were , i n the o p ini o n 'of the Court, safe and judicious. Having the Bull Rock bearing, as supposed, about W.N.W., distant six miles, the ship was hauled up to a N.E. 1 N. course true, the deviation being allowed, and she was kept upon this course till three a.m., the distance run being estimated at 23 miles. From three a.m. the ship was hauled up to N.E. by N., upon which course she ran 15 miles, and the master then supposed the vessel to be nearly eight miles from the nearest land, and more than four miles outside of the position in which she must have been at this time (4.45 a.m.), which fatal error was corroborated by an incorrect cast of the deep sea lead, taken by the certificated chief mate by orders of the master. It appeared by the evidence of the mate himself that the deep-sea lead line had been accidentally cut off by the paddle-wheel on a former voyage four days previous to this disaster ; and, although known to the master, by some un accountable negligence this line had not been again marked, which was the special duty of the mate, under whose charge it was ; and this fact, no doubt, may have misled the mate in his report of the sound ings. The Prince Consort had been steaming at full sped from about 8 p.m., when off Inchkeith. The logbook being lost in the vessel, the time could not be depended upon, as it was given entirely from memory. At 4.45 a.m., a cast of the lead was taken, and the soundings supposed to have been obtained were 36 fathoms, which was reported to the master, who questioned his mate as to whether he had allowed for the 20 fathoms that the line was deficient of, and if he was certain of his soundings, to which questions the answers were satisfactory. The ship was stopped to take these soundings, and, after obtaining them, was started a-bead at half•speed, and the course was altered to N. E. E. true. At about 5 a.m., 12 minutes after the ship had stood on towards the land, the mas ter gave orders to the mate to make ready to take an other cast of the lead, and had his hand on the tele graph preparatory to stopping the ship for that purpose, when breakers were suddenly seen close to them on the port bow. In this alarming crisis the master appears to have acted promptly by stop ping the engines and putting the helm hard a-port ; but, unfortunately, the ship was too close to the danger, as, after paying off about four points to the eastward, she struck on the Hasman Rocks, which are a short distance from the Alten Rock, , where she subsequently was totally lost. It was most fortunate that the Prince Consort struck where she did, as assistance was close at hand, and very promptly rendered by the fishermen, whose boats were ready for launching in a cove or harbour just inside of the ilasman Rocks, these men being aroused by the steam blowing off, the fog having become so dense that the vessel herself could not be- seen, though not distant more than one or two hundred yards. It does not appear that the ship hung on these rocks more than a few minutes, but sufficiently long to enabl% these fishermen to board her and convey to the shore two or three boatloads of passengers, and a pilot in one of the ship's boats, which had been lowered and filled with passengers. After striking two or three times heavily, the ship appears to have swung off these rocks, her head paying right round off to the S.W., when she almost immediately struck on the Alten, and in about half an hour broke in two pieces, just abaft the engine-room, the fore part disappearing, and subsequently.the after part of the vessel slipped off the rock and s u n k i n comparatively deep water. The disappearing of this ill-fated ship did not take place till all hands had been rescued from their dangerous position by the praiseworthy exertions of the Com mander, his officers and crew, assisted most ably by the fishermen, who were the means of saving a large portion of those who were landed, and in all probability many of them would have lost their lives but for their prompt asssistance. Though the ship's boats did their part, those in charge were un acquainted with the different small coves on the coast, more especially as in such thick weather such landing places could not be dis cerned. The villagers in the neigbourhood ren dered every assistance to the shipwrecked passen gers that was in their power, supplying many of the THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 24, 1867, females with necessary clothing, they having been necessarily hurried on shore from their beds before they could clothe themselves properly. Nothing of any consequence seems to have been saved from the ship. A consideration of the whole evidence has led the Court to the conclusion that the justice of the case will be met by returning the master his certificate, which we did with the full concurrence of the nautical assessors; but, at the same time, ac companying it with an expression of our regret and disapproval of his conduct in so far that he did not satisfy himself that the deep-sea lead line was in perfect order before leaving port. grand military fete, which will be given by the Emperor in honour of the Sultan. The place selected as the theatre of the fete is the camp at Chalons. It is to be hoped that as Tia Bey, one of the leaders of the Young Turkey party, has taken refuge in Paris (where, by the way, he has published a long letter in defence of his political views), we shall see no repetition of the scene which has stamped so melancholy a souvenir upon the review given at Longchamp. I observe, in speaking of the Czar, that he has remitted—through the medium of the Baron de Budberg—to Madame LaboriC, who, it will be remembered, was slightly wounded in the cheek on the occasion we have alluded to, a magni ficent jewel, formed of an emerald heart, sur rounded with diamonds. This delicate and graceful attention will assuredly not tend to diminish the popularity of the Emperor of Russia amongst the fair dames of Paris. An amusing hypothesis is formed in Paris in respect to the an ticipated arrival of Prince Mokeifayo, son-in-law to Queen Pomare, who is expected in October. This ocean Prince, whose real name is Rogues, is said to be a native Parisian, some two years ago employed at the Theatre of the Varietes ; and the hypothesis to which we allude is, that the aforesaid Prince, being heartily tired of his sojourn amongst the native islanders, will make his visit to the Ex position a pretext for taking leave of his savage relatives, never to return. As regard the latest news of the Exposition, the Emperor and Empress of Austria have forwarded to the Imperial Commis sion the two gold medals struck in honour of the coronation of their Majesties at Pesth as King and Queen of Hungary. These medals, which are placed at this moment in the Galerie de l'His toire du Travail, afford a marked testimony of the great interest taken by the Emperor in the success of the Exposition. The celebrated maestro Rossini, in company with Mons. le Play, conzmis saire general, commenced on Tuesday last the arrangements for the grand choral hymn in honour of the Emperor, which will be chanted on the first of July, the day chosen for the distribution of recompences. The musical direction has been com mitted to the charge of M. Jules Cohen ; the orchestra will be conducted by M. George Maine, and the hymn will be sung by the premiers artistes of the three lyric theatres. On Thursday a Grand Chinese Concert took place—without section— when a number of traditional melodies were exe cuted with considerable success—many, it is said, dating many ages in advance of our era. As all spectacles, concerts, &c., at the Exhibition now finish at eleven o'clock, an arrangement has been made by the authorities of the Railway Station at the Champ de Mars (Care St. Lazare) at half past eleven, which also affords an opportunity to the visitors who come from Versailles of returning by the half-past twelve train from Paris. The Commission at the Exhibition have deter mined upon having in August an exhibition of oxen employed for draught purposes. The animals are to be exhibited in pairs and harnessed together. Since the assembling of crowned heads in Paris those who look forward to an era of general dis arming, and the establishment of European peace on a happy and durable basis, as attainable objects ; are auguring every imaginable blessing as the result of the meeting, frierdl y i n t erco urse, and personal understanding of potentates actuated by a spirit of conciliation and mutual confidence. These peace enthusiasts consider the visits paid to France by the Sovereigns of Europe as a demonstration against war, an affirmation of a desire to see conflicts between nations as3ume a different character, and the precursor of a pacific policy guaranteeing prosperity and happiness to the people at large. They regard the simultaneous presence of the Czar and King William at the Court of Napoleon 111. something more than a mere chance meeting, and scarcely less than the consequence of a preconceived plan to consider the solution of such problems as menace, or are likely to menace, the tranquillity of Europe. They go so far as to assert that a partial disarmament has already been agreed upon, and that a triple demonstration in favour of peace and concord would shortly appear in the shape of a manifesto published simultaneously by France, Prussia, and Russia. On the other hand, the less hopeful attribute the visits of Sovereigns to Paris to motives of simple curiosity and desire to see the wonders of the great Exhibition, r,o2ive tin huzzahs of admiring multi tudes, and parade their importance in a foreign capital. Acknowledging the advantages of dis mamn question its pr ac ti ca bility a t th e present and deny its having been for a moment aret, time, they entertained by those most capable of advancing it. Even if a sincere reconciliation be accomplished be tween France and Prussia, and the bitterness of old rivalries be appeased, they think the danger would remain the same, the proposal for disarmament would be premature, and general peace far from being assured, so long as there was an oppressed people in Turkey, so long as Polish denationalisa tion continued. It may be true that the King of Prussia, the Czar, aul the Emperor Napoleon parted good friends, but personal sentiments are not, and cannot be, the rule of conduct for men who have the destinies of nations in their care ; it is probable that the th ree So vereigns agreed in every thing concerning the ir recr eations while they were mperor is altog e th er diff eren t f rom feted bable and th at they would welcomed in Paris, but it i s more th an pro differ wh enever S tate a ff a i rs were introduced on the l apis, for the ideal of that France imagined a a g n i d u eher byE the Czar or Ki ng Willi am. Others who, like myself, claim to be impartial observers, feel inclined to look favourably on the er wit ea'antpliocebactlt ie e fs teox of State may deem it fit to Stat e eeeut t ni o nd p gi sr disarmamentt o u d r u b c e e d be nefici wheneverato l m afpono e uyl eiottoiwi political g eol orofEf the uSro g resultsov p e reigns as likely attempt a modificatio n i n the map of Europe. We believe that something m ore than curiosity prompted these royal visits; that serious political questions have been touched upon ; that the great problems proposed at this time to the consideration of states men have been discussed by the Emperor with his illustrious guests, and that the proposal for a general disarmament has been mooted, if not encouraged, during these interviews. We have regarded the journey of Alexander 11. as significative of a desire for his having evidenced g to prevent a war between France and Prussia but a short time ago, and when, at interest peace, from a n tdh activity t fact ivi t y of as in preceding years, Russia might have ex pected great advantages from discord in Europe. The visit of Prussia's King with his Prime Minister 'seems- to -us indicative of a better and more conciliatory spirit on the part of Germany. This sentiment was encouraged by a tacit and courteous understanding between the Sovereigns and their Ministers not to undertake an investigation of the merits of the German question for fear of wounding susceptibilities and originating unpleasant feelings. Great good may come of the recent association of the two Emperor s and the K i ng o f P russ ia, while it is scarcely prob a bl e that harm w ill ar i s e from it. We feel assured that difficulties between nations would be less frequent, and more easily and satis factorily adjusted if the leaders of Governments could have frequent and unrestrained social inter course together. Let us hope that the goodwill, which certainly prevailed during the stay in this city of those wh o h ave j ust l e f t us , m ay be judi ciously treasured up and redound to the advantage of civilisation and humanity. After the excursion to Fontainebleau on last Tues day the Imperial party returned to Paris, where a special train was in rea di nes s to convey the Czar and suite to the frontiers of France. The public was unaware of the programme for departure, so that the railway station was not encumbered with a curious crowd. B e f ore separa ti ng the Emperor and Czar embraced fraternally several times. At this moment, no doubt, their common peril on the 6th June was remembered, and tended much to cement the ties of friendship which exists between them. The young princes then came forward and bade a touching adieu to the Emperor, who extended his hand and embraced each of them. King William remained somewhat apart during this scene, but came up afterwards and simply shook the hand of the Czar in bidding him au revoir. While iu Paris the Czar conferred many honorary decorations upon Ithe directors and functionaries of the yariouti pub. is establishments which he had visited. Attached to his suite were secretaries charged with the duty of noting the visits, and the incidents and observations which characterised them. A daily account of this kind was sent forward to the Empress of Russia, another was delivered to the Czar, and a third copy preserved for the personal archives of his Majesty. It is said that he left a princely sum in the hands of the authorities to be distributed among the poor of Paris. He offered to Mons. Rainbeaux, the equerry who interposed, and probably saved his life from the shot of Mirezowski an annuity of 10,000 roubles, which that gentleman declined. We hear now that the Czarina intends presenting to Madame Rainbeaux a necklace worth 300,000 f. 060,000), and that all the principal Russian cities are organising sub scriptions for the purpose of forwarding medals and presents of considerable value, so that a good deed bids fair to be handsomely rewarder!. As a present to Napoleon, and one which he doubtless appreciates, the Czar left the two finest of the three splendid horses which are now in the Russian stable on the grounds of the Exhibition. One is a bay stallion, called Fakel, about five years old, and the other Fesan, a chesnut of the Kane age. Both were born and reared at the Imperial breeding establishment, founded by a Russian prince about sixty years ago. Memorials addressed to the Emperor Napoleon, condemning the odious attempt on the life of the Czar, and expressing gratification at his escape, continue to arrive from all parts of France. The Americans in Paris have not been behind hand in this commendable move, and conveyed to the Czar before he left their expressions of indignation at the outrage perpetrated on the 6th inst. Berezewski is recovering from the wounds occasioned by the explosion of his pistol and the fury of the crowd. His trial will probably take place the first week in July. Jules Favre, being in feeble health, cannot undertake the defence of the criminal, as was requested and expected, so the task will devolve upon a Monsieur Grevy, who is represented as a jurist of no mean ability. The King of Prussia left Paris last Friday for Brussels, on his way to Berlin. He was accom panied by Bismark and the officers and suite that came with him. A grand dinner, closing the first series of fetes offered to the Sovereigns, was given him at the Tuileries the day before his departure, and it was at this dinner that he bade his adieux to the Emperor Napoleon and the Empress. Parisians are becoming so habituated to the sight of crowned heads that nothing short of a veritable King or Emperor produces a sensation in the city. Ismail-Pacha must have anticipated this, for we are told that before setting out he solicited and obtained, in consideration of certain remuneration, authority from the Sublime Porte to bear the title of King of Egypt during two or three months. He arrived in Paris on last Sunday, and was received with all the honour due his rank. A numerous crowd thronged the streets through which the cor tege passed on its way to the Palace of the Tuileries. He wa3 graciously received by the Empress, and, after the customary presentations, was conducted with befitting ceremonial to the Pavillon Marsan, of the Louvre, where apartments had been prepared for bim. General Geffrard, ex-President of the Republic of Ilayti, is now sojourning in Paris, and figured in the Imperial cortege at the grand mili tary review in the Bois de Boulogne. He is a tall, good-looking man of colour, with a distingue white moustache. He intends settling in Bourgogne, where he has purchased an estate with the determi nation of living in retirement. The following letter has been addressed to the editor of the Anglo-American Times: — In the article headed "Rebels," which occu pies a leading place in your issue of June 1, occurs the following paragraph, to which it seems to me that further attention should be drawn : " Nothing justifies rebellion but tyranny and usurpation. Nothing sanctions rebellion but suc cess. The stake played for in this game is the greatest that man can risk. The successful rebel passes from a traitor to a patriot, while the re belion changes to a revolution, and eventually becomes a holy and righteous war. Of the two ' (Treat American revolutions the one assumed the shape of the renowned War of Independence—the other the stigmatised rising of a Slave Oligarchy. Yet the latter was fought on a grander scale, and even more gallantly than the former. While Washington's name is a household word and the god of an American's idolatry, that of Davis who upheld a falling cause with as dauntless a front and as noble a tenacity is a byword and reproach. With sunken eye and furrowed cheek the beggared and emaciated exile, froi.n the cells of his long imprison ment, sinking beneath the curse of a weight of ruin, seeks in a foreign country a home denied him in. his own. The difference between success and failure is the main difference between Washington and Davis. The very institution it was the hard fate of the Southern chief to endeavour to uphold was but an inheri tance from the greatest leader in the cause of free dom that the world has yet known. Between a rebel and a patriot there may be but fine shades of difference, perhaps darkened by the clouds of ad versity, or lightened by the sunshine of success. It is time this endless taunt should cease, for, as now applied, it is a word without a meaning, which, if persisted in, may convey to it a significance that may associate rebellion in many minds with the highest duties of man. It is for the well-being of society, which is intimately connected with the security of Government, that this word should sig nify, as it is intended, the perpetration of a great crime." To the statement that " the difference between success and failure is the main difference between Washington and Davis," I object that it is false to the fact. Washington fought for the principles of representative popular government. He took up arms against the attempt to tax those who were un represented. Davis contended against the principles of representative popular government. In an elec tion his party proved the smaller, and therefore appealed to force. It needs no argument to show that if the minority in a republic is to be justified in taking up arms, as soon as it discovers that it is a minority, there is an end of Republican government. In a word, Davis strove for the overthrow of the Constitution and the Union, which Washington fought and laboured to establish. Are these very " fine shades of difference ?" Again, the institution of slavery was, in a certain sen se, au inheritance from Washington ; 'that is to say, Washington held slaves. But the institution of slavery he never sought to perpetuate or extend. It was but an incident in his career. He found it and left it in existence ; but there is ample evidence that he hoped for its gradual extinction. Davis, on the contrary, revolted for the exyess purpose of extending the area and perpetuating the existence of human slavery. In his career it was not an incident, but the great aim. The Republi can party, it need scarcely be said, had no thought in 1860 of touching the institution where it existed, but only of preventing its extension within the ter ritories of the United States. Rather than endure this mild restriction, Mr. Davis and his confederates commenced the late bloody war, and the Vice-Pre sident of the so-called Confederacy publicly de clared slavery (with a blasphemous allusion to Scrip ture) " the head-stone of the corner in their new edifice" of Government. Is this a delicate " shade of difference ? " Again, Washington and his associates used every means of conciliation before they resorted to force, sending remonstrances and " humble petitions" again and again. When hostilities broke out the troops of the British Government fired first upon the citi zens, and more than a year elapsed after this event before conciliation was despaired of and indepen dence declared by the colonies. The Acts of Secession were passed, for the most part, iu a time of profound peace. Active hostili ties were commenced by the South, unprovoked by any show of force, the very garrisons of the na tional works being too weak to resist mobs of undis ciplined and half-armed men. The first shot of the war was fired on Sumpter from no military neces sity, but for the express purpose of bringing lagging States into the line of secession. What is said of the " dauntless front" and " noble tenacity" of Mr. Davis seems wholly aside from the question. Courage and persistency have many a time been shown in infamous causes. Cata line was not wanting in " tenacity," and went to his last field with much mon " dauntless front' Miscellaneous Foreign News. (From Correspondents of the Anylo-American Times.) PARIS, June 20. My classical lore sometimes gets jumbled together n the most admired confusion, especially when I pass the ancient arches which now bear the respec- tive names of the Porte St. Martin and the Porte St. Denis, when I am apt to confound the Sequani Allobroges, &c., with their more modern descend ants, particularly after a late dinner. If I mistake not, however, there was a certain Polycrates, King or Tyrant of Samos, who had arrived at such a height of prosperity that when he threw into the sea one of his most valuable jewels, in order to change his luck, a fish was polite enough to return it to him, taking the trouble, for that purpose, to , - swim ashore with it in his mouth. I have been led into this allegory by considering at the present mo ment the prosperous and prominent position of France, though I by no means wish to continue it so far as to hint at the probability of a reverse of fortune. Au contraire, 1 think that France, secure in the guarantee given by the Great Powers, in which even England, though wishing to mix as little as possible in Continental affairs, has con sented to join ; doubly fortified, also, by the amicable conferences which the occasion of the Universal Exhibition has enabled the Em- peror Napoleon to exchange with nearly all the monarchs of the civilised world ; relieved not only from the dread of an immediate but also of a con- tingent war, (for the Gazette de la Bourn states as a fact that the Emperor of France will return in October next the visit of his Royal brother of Prus- sia), and public opinion, as regards a detestation of war, has not only been manifested in the im mense popularity of the Exposition, but even more practically in a proclamation forwarded throughout the Continent by the committee of the English Reform movement. France, we say, thus freed from the possibility of any disturbance abroad, her people occupied at home in enter taining all the other peoples of the known world, her honour and her interests secure, has now the leisure to regard her own internal im provements, and may look forward to greater prosperity than she has ever yet known. The Expo sition still continues to maintain its popularity with all the world, and whilst amongst the great ones of the earth, sovereign succeeds sovereign, in like manner deputations of working men of all nations, chosen by their fellow-countrymen, and workmen for their superior tact and ability, are daily seen deriving information and experience from a practical contemplation of the vast stores of in struction garnered within the walls of the Palace of 1867. The limits of my present letter will not permit me to notice more fully this week the various attractions of the Exposition. I hope, however, shortly to devote one-or two to that especial pur pose. The consideration of that most important matter, an assimilated national decimal coinage, was commenced on the 18th inst., the Baron de Moustier presiding over the deliberations. The following countries were represented there—Eng land, Austria, the Grand Duchy of Baden (whose sovereigns, by the way, have arrived at Paris in cognito, under the unassuming titles of the Count and Countess of Ebernstein), Bavaria, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, United States, Greece, Italy, the Pays Bas or Low Countries, Portugal, Russia, Sweden and Norway, Turkey, and Wurtemburg. The Viceroy of Egypt, whose arrival we an nounced in our last number, visited the Exposition for the first time on the 18th inst. His Highness has a special pavilion close to the Temple of PhilEe. One of the apartments contains a plan, in relief, of Lower Egypt. This is the only one open to the pubic, the others being appropriated to the spccial service of the Viceroy. It would be a loss of time were I to attempt to describe every Eastern palace or pavilion erected within the limits of the Exposition it will be sufficient, therefore, to say that the pavilion is an exact reproduction of one in which Ismail Pacha, the present Viceroy, first saw the light. I do not know how far the certainty of an Euro- pean peace, most probably, too, for a long period, will affect what is termed the effective or standing army of France. I observe, however, that the Corps Legislatif has voted a sum of from four to five millions of francs as a State subsidy towards the maintenance of a suitable police force at Paris. And, without venturing to express an opinion on the capability of the good citizens to bear imposts which have for aim and object their own safety and good government, I pause for a moment to speak with admiration of the capable and un assuming manner in which the police of Paris per form their duty. Have you lost your way ? A Ser gent de Ville is at hand to direct. Do you see a crowd gathered together par suite of some extra ordinary occurrence? melts like magic before the cocked hat and quiet manipulation of the same official. Is a robbery committed ? If not arrested at the instant, the plunderer escapes but for the time, and, in short, without being in any manner conspicuous the services rendered by this efficient and intelligent body of men are of the most valuable order. The Venetian fete, and the regattas by night, are postponed until the 25th. It is to commence at nine in the evening, in front of the Champ de Mars. For two days past the esplanade of the ln valides has been occupied by brigades of workmen engaged in erecting palisades, regulating the move ments of the people, who crowd daily in immense numbers: to the spot where on Sunday next the balloon, which has received the name of the Giant, will ascend. For public convenience an order has been given by the authorities that the ascent shall take place at four o'clock p.m. precisely, whilst the enclosures shall be evacuated at half-past, in order to avoid the double influx of persons coming from the Exposition. The Emperor has been suffering for a few days past- from an attack of rheumatism, which prevented him from re ceiving in person at the Tuileries the Viceroy of Egypt. Prince Charles of Prussia arrived a few days ago at the same time as the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Baden. It is now almost certain that the Emperor and Empress of Austria will visit Paris in the month of July ; the coming of Victor Emmanuel is, however, still doubtful. From the MeLican advices it would appear that the interfer ence of the Washington Government has been pro ductive of good effect with Juarez, in regard to the treatment of the captive Emperor Maximilian, who, if a letter published in the French journal, as emanat ing from that monarch, and addressed to the Emperor of Austria, be genuine, is treated without unnecessary severity, and asan ordinary prisoner of war. In the Enceinte of the Epordion, a small and com mon-looking tent, is shown in the Mexican Quarter, bearing an inscription that it sheltered the unfortunate Empress Charlotte amidst the ruins of Kochitlan on the night of the sth of February, after the battle. As the tent bears no specially distinctive feature of Mexican nationality, I presume that it is placed there rather as an illustration of the vicissitudes to which even Princes are liable, as well as ordinary mortals. It is to be regretted that the health of her Majesty is in so deplorable a state. The Czar and the Empress of Russia arrived at Varsovia on the 18th inst.; their reception was most enthusiastic. The fashion of travelling incognito appears to gain ground amongst the foreign potentates who visit Paris at this moment. On Wednesday last the Prince and Princess Royal of Saxony arrived under the names of the Count and Countess of Plauen. In the course of the week the Duke and Duchess of Costa will be here under the titles of the Count and Countess of Pollenzo. Great prepara tions an making at the War-office for author than Mr. Davis displayed on the only occasion when the devastating war he had invoked placed him in personal danger. It might be added that Mr. Davis has given no evidence in his public career of that absence of sel fish ambition, that complete subordination of per sonal advantage to the public good, which made the character of Washington honoured even by his enemies. I object further to the idea implied in the whole article, that success or failure can make any possible difference in the right and wrong of actions. To say so is to subvert all political and social morality, and to declare that whatever is profitable is right. No; history records many a holy failure and many a vile success. We must have a higher standard. The word " rebel" as applied to Mr. Davis and his associates did signify " the perpetration of a great crime"—one of the greatest political crimes on record—the most stupendous and the most cause less of all rebellions. If those who have used the term are now to drop it, it will not be because we deny the propriety of its past application, but because we hope the rebel lion is ended, and over that sad past we desire to throw the veil of conciliation. If anything will tend to perpetuate the term, it will be the use of such arguments as the article here quoted employs, for the name will then be adhered to as a protest against the course of those who would extenuate a " great crime." By affording a place, if possible, in your columns to these criticisms, and expressing clearly your own opinion on the question at issue, you will confer, Sir, a great favour upon A REPUBLICAN READER. On Saturday, the Ist instant, the President left Washington for Raleigh. lie was accompanied by Mr. Seward and Mr. Randall. They reached Richmond in the evening, the President taking up his quarters in the apartment lately occupied by Jefferson Davis in Spottiswood's Hotel. On Monday morning the journey was continued, passing through Petersburg and Weldon, where speeches were made. Mr. Johnson carefully avoided political subjects—taught by the fatal experience of the celebrated tour of List summer. A President "on the rampage " is worse than a bull in a china shop, and the general smash that followed his last monumental excursion to Chicago must havebeen vividly in his mind, as this year he passed South, a" sadder and a wiser man." There is indeed something touching and noble in the return of the President of the United States to the home of his boyhood, and he might well have been moved with emotion when relating the story of his departure from Raleigh, " an inexperienced, penni less lad to make his way in the world." The scene is a fine subject for an American artist. There, was a man who had attained to one of the highest posts on earth, pointing out to the great digni taries of State, the servants of his Government, the lowly house in which he had been born, the streets in which, as a child, he had played, the tradesmen, the labourers, the mechanics who had been his associates, while he himself towered in the grandeur of a power equalled only by two or three other men in the world. Well might he say that he had scaled the heights of his ambition, and had nothing more to ask for. " One of my leading tenets," he continued, " has been the prosperity of the great mass of the people, holding that all persons, without regard to condition or colour, should be esteemed according to their in trinsic merit or worth, leaving each to rise on his own merit, courage, and energy. Let this be the standard, so that to every one may be assigned his true position. I trust and hope, instead of discuss- ing party issues, creating factions between North, South, East, or West, that all will exert themselves to the restoration of the union of these States, so that the flag may float ovar a contented and pros- perous people. (Applause.) Let us, my friends, re pair the breaches made by the war, and restore the Union. This being accomplished, we may then make such issues as the public prosperity and safety may demand. Let us efface from our minds the memory of the past—let us pour oil on the troubled waters, and restore peace to the States. This has been my constant object." On the 3d inst. the first election in Washington since the establishment of negro suffrage took place. The Nation gives the number of voters al coloured 8,300, and white 9,800. The result was a majority to the Republican patty on the municipal election of about 1,500 votes. There appears to have been no division among the coloured voters, who had the ballots distributed to them in their churches on the preceding day. At an early hour in the morning they roused up their fellow darkies with loud sounding trumpets and fish-horns, and rapidly gathered around the polling places. The Standard's correspondent says, that either through ignorance or design many voted several times in succession, and some attempted to deposit whole packages of tickets in the boxes. The Nation states that every means of the pettiest annoyances were resorted to to make the negro as uncomfortable as possible while he cast his vote. There were counterfeit tickets and every attempt to deceive the ignorant, which were signall y unsuc cessful, as the Freedmen had been effect ua ll y f or ewarned. That paper adds :•—" We know nothing of the candidates, but certainly the behaviour of the negroes while getting ready to vote and while voting ought to cheer most of our Thomases except Benjamin Franklin Perry." President Johnson reached Richmond on the 7th instant, on his return to Washington. On the 6th he visited the University of North Carolina, where he delivered a lively speech, marked by the good sense and sentiments which have made his present tour so strong and favourable a contrast to the last. no reiterated his former declarations to uphold the Constitution of the country, declaring the sincerity of his motives, and of the principles that had actu ated him throughout. The New York Herald has a leader on the free navigation of the St. Lawrence. It appears that at Montreal the Canadian authorities seized three American steamers plying on that part of the river without a permit, which has been required since the abrogation of the Reciprocity Treaty. It con tends that the St. Lawrence is the great channel of commerce by which in the near future the grain and mineral crops of our North-Western States must find their most direct, feasible, and economical route to a market. Can the mouth, then, of such a river be permitted to remain in the hands of a hos tile power, ready to use its position -0 embarrass commerce by delays and exactions, and to levy tolls for the right of passage? Not while the Ame ricans continue to be what they are." Last week the rumour was strong that Maximi lian had been shot, or would be shot. This week the idea is that he will be banished from Mexico— banished from Mexico, indeed ! what a horrible fate ! lle has been tried by a court-martial, from whom he claimed the right of a trial by a Congress of nations. From New York we learn that the trial had been postponed. It is asserted that the Liberalist officers in command had protested against clemency towards Maximilian. The fall of Quore taro was due to the treachery of the commander of a principal fort. Maximilian stipulated on surren dering that he should be treated as a prisoner of war, but that, if any one was shot, he should be the first. The report in Vienna is that Maximilian will be banished, but that his life will be respected. He forwarded to his brother through the Atlantic cable the following telegram :—" I am a prisoner of war ; but do not be afraid. 1 am treated in a manner which in noway violates the laws and customs of civilised nations.—MAXl MILIAN." Thaddeus Stevens is certainly a man of rare deter mination. He is but now recovering from his severe illness, and it is not likely that he is destined for many more days. lie returns to the measure he advocated with just as much energy after the extreme prostration of sickness as before, apparently unconscious that he is breaking the Commandments, stirring up as he does the bad passions it is the duty of leading men to allay. He has written another letter urging the confiscation of property of the richer and more atrocious malefactors, as he terms the Southern leaders. " Feeble as are my powers," he says, " if I had five years more added to my life I should not doubt that this would become an accomplished fact." We doubt it very much, and think it muc h more likely that Thaddeus Stevens would destroy his political influence than destroy the generous and noble sentiment of forgiveness which is more or less spread abroad among the Northern people. He goes on to prophesy, it If I should be denied that extension of life, Providence will raise up to the work some younger and abler man to whom these facts will be of great assistance." The facts to which he alludes are lists of property destroyed by the Confederates in their invasions, and he de sires to press the payment for these damages " out of the confiscated property of the conquered belli gerents." That Thaddeus Stevens is honest in his views, and not influenced by mean motives, we can readily believe, but we consider that he has been so hot a partisan, that he has lost the faculty oa these questions, of judging wisely, moderately, and fairly. He then adds—" I trust it will not be supposed that I have abandoned the determination to procure small homesteads for the freedmen, to be furnished by the rebel masters whom they con quered at our request—homesteads earned by the late slaves and annexed to their masters' estates. Let them now be severed by partition." There has been no prediction of the price of stocks on the London market telegraphed by the Cable since Thursday last—at least none has been published by the papers here. From this we infer that the news agent has found out himself what the rest of the world know long ago, that if he knew before the market opened what the price of stocks would be, all he had to do to make an enormous fortune was to speculate the day before an i keep his information to him self instead of sending it over the Cable. He has, there fore, we trust, been operating vigorously during the past week, and, we have no doubt, is by this time able to retire from business and travel. There is something absurd in having a man of such parts engaged in making up despatches for the papers. He telegraphed three or four days ago , by-the-bye, that " there was an intense and painful feel ing of anxiety throughout Europe" about the fate of the Emperor Maximilian. Now the news agent knows as well as we do that outside the small circle of Maximilian's relatives and personal friends—that is, about 400 people out of 200,000,000—n0t a man, woman, or child in Europe has eaten less, laughed less, or slept less on account of Maximilian, or would feel more than than a little touch of disgust even if they heard he had been burnt alive. Therefore; when the news agent telegraphed this he tele graphed what was not true; he put the newspapers to heavy expense ; he tried to impose upon the public, and he neglected his legitimate business.—The 2Vation. The Evanville Sentinel, a Democratic journal of Indiana, has nominated R. Lee for the next Presidency, and Mr. Johnson has been making a careful speech making tour to Raleigh, and intends making another to Boston. These two facts would seem to indicate a scarcity of available condidates in the Democratic party, which in in very marked contrast with the abounding and super abounding plenty that exists among the Republicans. Ur. Johnson's chances, which we suppose aro indefinitely greater than they were a year ago, he is perhaps not diminishing by his journey. His speeches are rater amusing here and there, but nothing like so exciting as these of 1866. They want the old energy and wild f hitting, and conform more closely to the law peeches, which is that they strongly incline to 1 ";, twaddle. This is the true vein :—" When looking bsct" forty years ago, and returning here to-day, I begin ° inquire where are those I left behind? In the language of poetry itself, ' The friends of my c hildh oo d, w h ere are th e y ? I. Echo answers,' Where ? ' Some have emigrated and gone to other lands, Some h a v e complied with the orable and irresistible call, and have passed to that undis covered country from whose bourne no traveller ret urns. I again ask, 'Friends of my childhood, where are they ?''' ..„ Mr. Seward's performances were likewise quite judicious' and "the country is happy," though we confess- I n ° _, never content—to a wish that the Associated Press a/I ': the special reporters would be a little less particular abenb taking down every word for print. Still, the exact truth is best, we suppose. The Pennsylvania oil region has been within the past two years almost wholly devastated by fire. More than 70 great fires have occurred in the neighbourhood of the oil wells. These conflagrations, feeding upon one ° the most combustible substances known to commerce, arie of an appalling character. The latest occurred in the "" lags called Petroleum Centro ; nearly the whole of tile little hamlet—or a collection of about fifty houses—W3s destroyed. COUNTRY MARKETS. ---.s NORWICH—SATURDAY.
