AN7IETA2II. At Antietam, on the 17th September, the PRE SIDENT of the United States, surrounded by the representatives of all nations, and hundreds of his most celebrated countrymen, performed a cere mony which well commemorated perhaps the greatest event of the mighty war of which even then there remained wrecks around them. On that day, amidst prayer and thanksgiving, the cemetery containing the dead of Antietam was conse crated. The event the distinguished assembly were met to celebrate will ever find in the American heart a thrilling response. It was exactly five years before that General M'CLELLAN in command of a Northern army, hastily gathered, and numbering 87,000 men, attacked the Confede rates posted upon the position of which the ceme tery forms part, and after a struggle, rarely equalled, compelled the invading army, in the confusion of defeat, to evacuate the State of Maryland. The strength of the Confederates under LEE has never been accurately given. Accounts differ widely—a difference in a measure due to the fact that during the engagement LEE'S army was largely reinforced. The most probable estimate places the Confederate strength at 60,000 men. LEE asserts that he com menced the action with 40,000, while M'CLELLAN estimates the number at upwards of 97,000. Those who recall the days preceding the great Battle of Antietam shudder when thinking on the train of disasters which had befallen the Federal arms. The mighty force so carefully drilled, so magnifi cently equipped, which M'CLELLAN had led over the Peninsula when marching on Richmond, striken by seven days of hard fighting, had been compelled to re-embark, leaving the country strewn with dead. At Cedar Mountain General BANKS had sustained a disastrous repulse, and General POPE, after a series of desperate actions, had been driven behind the defences which covered Washington. Throughout the South it was loudly asserted and fully believed that Maryland was Confederate in every feeling, the sentiment of her people being smothered beneath the weight of Northern armies. Baltimore bad given to this unmistakable ex pression. Thousands of Marylanders had joined the Confederate ranks, and the song that touched to the quick those exiles from their State was often heard at the Confederate bivouack, one of the sweetest inspired by these stormy times— "Maryland, my Maryland." The dash and gallantry of the Confederate sol diers filled both themselves and their commanders with the greatest confidence. The extraordinary skill and military aptitude of the people were seen in their judgment in selecting leaders. When LEE crossed the Potomac to carry the war into the enemy's country he brought with him an army whose morale had been established by many victories, who thought itself invincible, and who entered Maryland firmly believing that the whole State would rise in response to the call. LEE'S first step was to publish an appeal to Marylanders, and it was not for many days after, that even a doubt crossed his mind the Con federacy was mistaken in the general feeling of the people. M'CLELLAN had to form his army as he marched, and he moved on in ignorance and dread of the designs of his skilful opponent. It was not till he began to feel the weight of the enemy in front that he knew he was in the right direction. On the 10th September LEE evacuated Frederick, retiring on Antietam. A copy of LEE'S order of march, dated the previous day, fell into INI‘CLELLAN's hands on his arrival at that town, which gave the Federal General a clear insight into his opponent's plans. LEE was surprised at the vigour and discernment of the steps immediately taken by M'CLELLAN. He detached Him, and LONGSTREET to check the quick advance of the Federals, and on the 14th was fought the first action, in which General RENO and 1,500 Union soldiers fell in carrying the heights on which these generals were posted. On the afternoon of the 15th M'CLELLAN halted on the east bank of the Antietam. The Confederate army had crossed the stream and were arrayed for battle on the opposite side. M'CLELLAN had brought his great foe to bay, and the two mighty armies on the evening of the 15th September of the eventful year 1862 stood facing each other to decide the destinies of a continent. It was then that M'CLELLAN received the PRESIDENT'S last command and benediction : " God bless you and all with you ; destroy the rebel army if possible." The 16th was devoted to perfecting the arrangements TEE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 9, 1867. MAXIMILIAN'S REMAINS. The New York papers just received publish the following : "Mexico City, Sept. 7 ; via Vera Cruz, Sept. 7, 5 25 p.m. " The remains of the late Emperor Maximilian have arrived here from Queretaro. Notwithstand ing the difficulties that were placed in Admiral Tegethoff's way, there is every probability that the remains will be delivered to the envoy of the Aus trian Imperial House. The letter said to have been written by Maximilian shortly before his execution, and addressed to Carlotta, has been proved to be a forgery, as the Archduke was persuaded some days previous and up to the last moment that Carlotta was dead. " The following official correspondence is taken from the Mexico Diario Official of the 9th of September : _ _ "'Minister Tejada to Messrs. Palacio and De la Torre. " Mexico, Sept. 4. " ' Messrs, Mariano Itiva Palacio and Rafael Martinez De La Torre, who acted as consul for the Archduke Maximilian of Austria, presented them selves yesterday at this Ministry and stated that the Vice-Admiral Tegethoff, of the Austrian navy, had arrived in Mexico and wished to hold an inter view with the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Vice-Admiral appeared to-day, accompanied by Messrs. Palacio and De La Torre, at the hour ap pointed. " ' The Vice-Admiral makes known he has come to Mexico to request of the Government of the Re public permission to take the mortal remains of the Archduke Maximilian to Austria. The Minister for Foreign Affairs replied that he would submit said petition to the President of the republic ; but before taking it iuto consideration he would like that the Vice-Admiral would be pleased to state in what character he presented himself. The Vice-Admiral answered that when his journey to Mexico was decided upon, it was thought that it would please the Government of the Republic better for him not to come with any official ission from the Government of Austria, but simply with a private commission from the family, who, out of affection and family piety, naturally wished to ob tain possession of the Archduke's mortal remains. For this reason he had come merely with a private com mission from the Archduke's mother, and his brother, the Emperor of Austria. In reply to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, he further added that he had brought no document, and that he had simply re ceived a verbal commission from the family of the Archduke ; but that, if it were necessary, he was willing to give a written statement that he had come for the purposes already mentioned. The Minister for Foreign Affairs repeated that he would submit his request to the President of the Republic, and would be able to make known his determina tion on the following day. " ' S. LERDO DE TEJADA.' " On the sth Vice-Admiral Tegethoff, accom panied by Messrs. Palacio and De La Torre, re turned to the Ministry and received the following reply : " MINISTER TEJADA TO ADMIRAL TEGETHOFF. " Baron Lago, who acted as Austrian Charge d'Affaires near the Archduke ; Baron Magnus, who acted as Minister of Prussia, and Dr. Basch, family physician of the Archduke, some time ago asked permission to remove the mortal remains of Maximilian. The Government replied to all three that it had reasons for not acceding to their request. This reply was given because Government thought that its duty required that, previous to de termining whether permission be allowed to remove the Archduke's remains to Austria, either an official document of the Austrian Government, or an ex press authority from the Archduke's family request ing the Republican Government to deliver the re mains, should be submitted to the consideration of Government. " ' Although Vice-Admiral Tegethoff, by reason of his social position in Austria and his personal merits, is deserving of consideration on the part of the Mexican Government, the latter cannot decide to grant him permission to remove the Archduke's remains, seeing that he has brought with him no credential fulfilling either of the above two requi sites deemed imperative in the case. The Presi dent of the Republic has authorised the Minister for Foreign Affairs to inform Vice-Admiral Tegethoff that when either of said requisites shall be satisfied, whether by an official document from the Austrian Government or by an express authority from the family requesting the Archduke's remains, the Government of the Republic will be disposed to permit their removal to Austria out of a due regard to the natural sentiments of piety that prompt such a request. This Government, out of the same senti ments of piety, has in the interim ordered that the remains be embalmed, entombed, and cared for with all the decorum due to a departed being. " 'S. LERDO DE TEJADA.' " The following are the instructions that were forwarded to General Escobedo in regard to the remains of Maximilian, Miranion, and Mejia : " ' San Luis Potosi, June 18. " 6 General Mariano Escobedo, Queretaro," " Permission has been asked of the Government to remove the remains of Maximilian to Europe after the execution. This has not been granted ; but on account of the said petition the President of the Republic has ordered that you be governed by the following instructions : " ' 1. After the execution, should any of the re latives of Don Miguel Miramon or Don Tomas Mejia request their remains, you shall at once allow them to take possession of them. " 2. You alone shall take the proper measures regarding the remains of Maximilian, and not allow any ono else to take any measures in relation thereto. " 3. You shall take the precaution to have coffins of zinc and wood made to contain the re mains of Maximilian, and also of Don M. Miramon and Don T. Mejia, in case the relatives of these last do not claim them. " ' 4. Should any one request permission to em balm or inject the remains of Maximilian, or do anything else that you may deem proper, you shall refuse them permission, but in such case you shall take measures to have this done yourself in due time, having care that it be done by Mexicans on whom you can rely, and that all things be done in a decorous manner for account of the Government. You shall not refuse foreigners permission to be present. " 5. After the execution you shall take care of the remains of Maximilian, and of the others also, if their relatives do not claim them, everything being done with that decorum due after justice has been satisded. " ' G. You shall have the remains of Maximilian deposited in a becoming and safe place, under guard of the authorities. 7. At the entombment of the remains of Maximilian, and of the others, in case their rela tives do not claim them, you shall see that the cus tomary religious ceremonies be performed. " ' S. LERDO DE TEJADA. 7 7' "The following is the correspondence that has passed between Baron de Lago, Baron von Magnus, Dr. Basch, and Minister Tejada in relation to Maxuniliau's remains : " Baron de Lago to Minister Tejada. " Tacubaya, June 19. " Citizen President,—l request that you will have the goodness to allow me possession of Maxi milian's remains, so as to remove them to Europe. " BARON DE ',AGO.'

"'San Luis I'otcsi, June 20, 10.15 p.m. " Baron de Lago, Tacubaya,—The President of the Republic has ordered me to say to you, in reply to your telegram of yesterday, received to-night, that for weighty reasons you cannot be allowed to dispose of the remains of Maximilian. " S. LEIIDO DE TEJADA.' " Baron von Magnus to Minister Tejada. "San Luis Potosi, June 28. " Excellency Senor Don Sebastian Lerdo de Tejada,--Senor,—Th e Prince, while a prisoner at Queretaro, on the eve of his death, in a letter signed by his own hand, and addressed to General Escobedo, expressed his wish that his mortal remains might be confided to us—Dr. Samuel Basch, family physician of the deceased, and myself—to the end that Dr Basch should accompany his body to Europe, and that I should see to having it embalmed and to all that regards its removal to Europe. In com pliance with the wish of the deceased Prince, which he verbally made known to me, the removal of his remains should take place without any demonstra tion and in such a manner as to avoid carefully any thing that may excite such or even arouse public curiosity. " Hence I reiterate the request which I have had the honour to lay before your Excellency, to the effect that you will have the goodness to give the necessary order, so that the mortal remains may be entrusted to me, and I will comply willingly with all that may be required as to their removal to the coast, and on board of one of the vessels of the Austrian navy stationed at Vera Cruz.

Hence I regret that I must reply that this Government cannot give the orders which you wish to that effect. "' I take this occasion of repeating, Baron, that I remain your most respectful and obedient servant, " S. LERDO DE TEJADA.' " ' Dr. Samuel Basch to Minister Tejada. " ' Mexico, July 27. " Citizen Lerdo de Tejada, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs,—The undersigned, with all due respect, has the honour of setting forth to you, Citizen Minister, that as family physician of the late Archduke Maximilian, he has been intrusted by him with the duty of removing his remains to Europe for delivery to his family. That such was his wish appears, both from the letter signed by himself and addressed on June 16th last to Don Carlos Rubis, at Queretaro, a copy of which I have the honour to enclose, and from the one dated the 18th of the same month, the original of which is in possession of General Escobedo, as appears from the letter of Colonel Ricardo Villanueva, which I also enclose. " ' In fulfilment of this order I consider it a sacred duty (and I hasten to discharge it) to beg that you, Citizen Minister, will deem it proper to order the delivery of said remains to me, grounding this my request on the fact that by superior orders the re mains of his two companions in misfortune have been delivered to their families, and that at no period has the supreme Government refused to deliver the mortal remains of any one to his relatives. Finally, I request an answer to this my petition, whatever may be its tenour,so that when I return to my country I can justify myself before the family of the deceased Archduke, and show that I did all I could to obtain the delivery of the remains referred to. " Thankful for whatever favour may be granted by you, I remain your most respectful and obedient servant, " ' Dr. SAMUEL BASCII.' " ' Minister Tejada to Dr. Basch. " ' Mexico, July 29.

Independence and Liberty ! " ' LERDO DE TEJADA. 7 " for the impending battle ; but the loud roar of the artillery, which scarcely ceased, might have deceived a listener into the belief that the action raged. Indeed, before night the battle had commenced, for MEADE, fording the stream far on the Federal right, established himself on the other bank, crushing the opposition the Con federates cffered. So close was MEADE'S contact with the enemy that the picquets of both armies in the dark intermingled on ground destined in a few hours to be piled with American dead. During the night General MANSFIELD'S corps crossed the stream to support MEADE, whilst the Confederates sent STONEWALL JACKSON with his renowned division to hold this post, considered the key of the position. The morning of the 17th dawned on the long lines of the blue and the grey, and night closed on those lines still fronting each other on ground strewn thick with dead and wounded men. Fourteen long hours of a summer's day had witnessed the varying fortunes of the most hotly-contested field ever seen in America. It will readily be believed that the divisions of MEADE, DOUBLEDAY, and RICKETS, forming HOOKER'S corps, carried the post only with fearful carnage, when it is said that JACKSON de fended it with the STONEWALL division, and they carried it only after a moment of victory to be them selves dislodged by the fresh supports of the enemy. Then came MANSFIELD gathering up the shattered divisions as his corps swept on to the fatal spot, and again the Federal cheers rang out as they stood victorious on the ground. Their triumph was but momentary. Both MANSFIELD and HOOKER fell, and their corps staggered back under an avalanche of destruction. Again the tide of Federal victory seemed to flow as the divisions of RICHARDSON and FRENCH came up. But once more the Federal efforts proved vain, for two Confederate divisions the one from Harper's Ferry, the other from their right—again turned the fortunes of the day. SEDGEWICK was killed, and RICHARDSON covered with wounds. Night was falling on this fearful contest when General FRANKLIN'S corps, fresh from Pleasant Valley, arrived at the double, and the lines of blue were hurled for the last time on their Confederate foe, when they carried the position, and kept it. It was on this spot that the great interest of the Battle of Antietam centred, and when night put an end to the contest it fell on two shattered and exhausted armies, for Greek had there met Greek, and every effort of skill and valour in the attack had been foiled by the skill and valour of the defence. But M'CLELLAN gained his object. There was an end to the Confederate invasion of Maryland, and the broken and discomfited ranks of the hitherto triumphant Southern army sought shelter in its own State of Virginia. The ground, then, on which the PRESIDENT stood on the 17th ult. was sacred soil. It had been con secrated by the blood of the flower of the Federal Army; men there had given their lives in thou sands, rushing into the jaws of death, inspired by patriotic ardour. The bones of these men were beneath the feet of those assembled, and it was to commemorate their noble self-sacrifice, that the dis tinguished in the States were there assembled. More of sorrow than of triumph must have filled the minds of the crowd, for it cannot be forgotten that it was by American hands the victims of Antietam fell.—Anglo-American Times. THE INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEER CHALLENGE TROPHY. This trophy, won by the Scotch Twenty in the International Enfield match at Wimbledon, was, in terms of the conditions of the match, consigned for the year to the charge of the Lord Provost of Edin burgh, who appointed that its place of keeping should be the National Museum of Science and Art there. The uncovering of the trophy took place on Saturday evening at 5 o'clock, in presence of the Queen's Edinburgh Rifle Brigade, who marched to the Museum after inspection in the Queen's-park by the Lord Provost, the Midlothian Rifles from Leith, and a large assemblage of spectators. The Lord Provost wore the uniform of Lord-Lieutenant of the county of the city, and was attended by the civic officers. The International trophy is a beautiful work of art executed by Messrs. Elkington and Co., Birmingham, exhibiting on one side of the pedestal Minerva and a pacific and on the other Mars with a warlike group, and bearing the badge of the National Rifle Association with the mottoes—" Si vis pacent, para bellum," and " Defence, not Defiance." The Irish trophy, which is also annually competed for by th e highest marksmen of the three countries, and was won in 1867 by Mr. Hay, of the London Scottish, with a score of 65, an elegant work of art, and ex hibiting a traditional incident in the history of one of the Irish kings, was placed alongside, and both were covered by the Union Jack as the Volunteers entered. The covering of the pieces having been withdrawn, the band of the Queen's Brigade played " Scots Wha Hae," and the " Conquering Hero." The Master of LOVAT, Captain of the Scottish Twenty, then, addressing the Lord Provost, said— The object for which we are assembled to-day is one of great interest to all the Volunteers of the country—namely, the celebration of the victory which we Scotch have gained after a severe struggle over our friends and opponents in England and Ire land. I look on this competition as one of great importance and immense service to the Volunteer force of this country. The first thing to be desired in any regiment, whether regular or volunteer, is efficiency in discipline and drill, but without each man knowing how to use his rifle drill and dis cipline would be of little use before an enemy. Nothing keeps up the efficiency of our Volunteers as good shots so much as competition, and no one knows how soon our volunteers may be called on to defend the public. This match, my Lord Provost, originated with Captain Mackenzie, my predecessor in the captaincy of the Scotch Twenty, and Captain 'Williams, the leader of the English Twenty; and after Lord Elcho had presented his noble shield for competition among the small bore shots it was thought proper to raise by subscription a trophy to be competed for by the Volunteers. After great exertions on the part of Colonel Lindsay and others who interested themselves in the matter this noble work of art was procured, and it was presented for the Volunteers of the three countries to compete for. By the rules of the match the competition must be held at Wimbledon, when the match has been won by England, and in Scotland, when it has been won by Scotland. In 1868 the competition will take place at Edinburgh, and I feel sure that what the Scotch were able to do under a burning sun at Wimbledon they will be able to do again on their own ground. I know Captain Field will bring down the best 20 that England can produce, and that Capt. Hopkins will bring a plucky band from Ireland. For my own part, I engage to bring for ward 20 who I hope will enable Professor Archer, the director of this Museum, to be the permanent custodier of this beautiful work of art. I have also, in the absence of Mr. Hay, the winner of the Irish trophy, to hand it over to your Lordship's custody for the year. I hope that next year another trophy will be added to the group, namely, the Elcho Shield, which was lost this year to Scotland by only one point. Four of the Scotch Twenty, including Angus Cameron and his brother, then carried the inter national trophy through the lines of Volunteers, the band playing "The Garb of Old Gaul," followed by a pibroch from the bagpipes. The LORD PROVOST then said—l receive with great gratification the custody of these trophies for the current year. Having been gained in honour able competition by our countrymen, they are, I think, properly lodged in the capital of Scot land. Last year it was my privilege to be cus todier of the Elcho Shield, which unluckily has been lost to us for the present year by a single point ; but we cannot regret that which is taken from us by such able and honourable op ponents. It is pleasing, however, to think that the Scotch Volunteers have shown such skill in arms as against their English competitors. It may per haps be said that we Scotchmen are apt to get a little boastful on these points. I can only reply to any sarcasm of that description that we are a small nation, only one-sixth of the number of the English nation, but an ancient nation distinguished in all ages for courage, loyalty, integrity, and skill in arms, and it is a matter of pride to us that we should still be able to maintain our fame. (Cheers.) Ic is also a matter of pride to us that we also maintain our skill in honourable competition and our ancient loyalty to the Sovereign, and that while sister countries are agitated by miser able insurrectionists within the circuit of Scotland loyalty alone prevails. (Cheers.) His lordship concluded by complimenting the Queen's Brigade on the proficiency in battalion movements which he had that afternoon witnessed. The presentation then took place of cups to such of the Scottish Twenty as were present, including the Master of Lovat, Angus Cameron, and others. Three cheers were then given for the Queen, and the same compliment was paid to the Lord Provost. The band then played the National Anthem, and as the audience were dispersing the pipers of the Highland companies played in the hall and galleries. HERRING v. CHA7 WOOD. Since writing on the great international Safe con test, papers bearing on the subject have been forwarded to us. From these we have obtained the facts and fancies which have hitherto enabled the committee to withhold its award. The special correspondent of the Daily Telegraph groups them together with others pure inventions of his own in his letter dated Paris, August 21. It is alleged that the test of the trial was erroneously supposed to be the first extraction from either safe of the sealed block placed in each—that the tools used by HERRING'S men were heavier than those used by CHATWOOD'S, that there were errors in the drawings of the safe banded in by Mr. HERRING, that the HERRING'S safe was forced in front, while CHAT WOOD'S was stripped laterally ; but the gravest charge, was that made against the secretary, Mr. HOYLE, who though an English gentleman of high character, knowing nothing personally of Mr. HER RING or his safes further than is known to the world of any eminent manufacturer, is stated to have displayed a very marked bias in the American interest. Nor does the correspondent hesitate at much graver insinuations against a member of the committee than marked bias. Mr. HOL3IES is accused of en deavouring to influence M. Dour Am's award by suggesting a distribution of the prize, so that a thousand francs should go into his pocket, which, the correspondent hints, had so strong an effect on the eminent French engineer, that the English members of the committee, Messrs. MALLETT and FAIRLIE, knowing how the PRESIDENT'S decision would go, and alleging other than upright and honourable motives, formally withdrew from the committee. On the strength of this statement a message was despatched to New York alleging bribery and cor ruption. The resolutions of the committee furnish a conclusive answer to the first allegation. The members decided that the test of the trial should be as follows :—A marked block of wood being given to each of the competitors, and deposited by them in their safes, it should be deemed con clusive evidence, when produced, that the safe from which the block was, taken had been opened ; that the attack on both being commenced simultaneously shall be declared ended, as soon as either safe has been opened. Two better defined resolutions could not have been framed. What was to be con sidered as positive proof is distinctly stated. What was to close and decide the result was so plainly laid down that it appears almost impossible a dispute could arise after terms so clear had been complied with. Mr. HERRING produced the sealed wood, deposited by Mr. CHATWOOD in his safe, at 7.20 p.m. on the day of the trial, while CHATWOOD'S men were still at work on HERRING'S safe. Here, then, was the conclusive evidence in the terms of the resolutions framed by the committee, and according to those resolutions the trial then ended ; yet the Daily Telegraph asserts that the production of the sealed block was quite erroneously supposed to be the test. After this simple statement we may leave our readers to judge of the truth and fair ness which characterise the correspondent's let ter. It will not surprise them to learn that the weight of tools instead of being, as alleged, in favour of the HERRING party, was in favour of the other side, being 10711bs. against 106—the tools used in stripping the side of CHAI WOOD'S safe. The statement that the drawing of HERRING'S safe was incorrect may be refuted by reference to a work termed " Fighting Fire for Twenty-six Years," comprising a history of HERRING'S Patent Cham pion safes. Those who can put their hands on this book may by turning to plate 16 see a drawing of the box tested, with dimensions given. It is a fire-proof safe with a cash-box inside very different to his banker's safe, expressly made to resist burglars—the one he intended to use in the trial, but which Mr. CHATWOOD would not allow, as, being accidentally detained at Havre, it was not on exhibition. While barring HER RING from the use of his true burglar safe, the two English members of the committee availed themselves in their report of every defect in the HERRING'S fire safe tested. By the correspondent it is alleged that there were two safes, one inside the other, and Mr. CHATWOOD appears as if only aware of this after the terms had been agreed on. But Messrs. MALLETT and FAIRLIE complain that Mr. HERRING proposed at first to leave the outer doors open, but afterwards rescinded this intention. They condemn the construction of the outer doors in two leaves, with a meeting joint in the centre as extremely weak, and rejected by all safe makers. Now, Mr. protection HEßßlNG against intended fire, a this nd , outer case simply as a when his challenge was accepted, urged Mr. CHAT WOOD to permit his burglar-proof at Havre to be substituted, when he would stand on equal terms-- a request denied him, though it was on that safe he issued his challenge. Yet, the defects of a con struction intended only to resist fire are made the groundworks of a report against the competitor whom these very men had denied the use of a safe constructed to defeat burglars. The weight laid by the English portion of the committee on the fact that CHATWOOD'S safe was stripped laterally, and not forced in front, only shows how men will seize on all excuses, if resolutely bent on defeating a fair award. Whether a fortress is carried by a gate or breached in its weakest part will little avail the garrison who fall victims to the defective construction. The crew of a ship riding out a gale may be assured that the strength of their cable is equal only to its weakest part. Mr. CHATWOOD can scarcely be under the impression that the quick-witted and skilful burglar is going to waste his means in following his ideas, and effect ing the breach at the spot rendered impregnable by all Mr. CHATWOOD'S ingenuity. It matters little to him whether he penetrates in front or in rear, so long as his object is attained. But if the door of a safe is to be the test, it would only have been fair at least to have given Mr. HERRING'S burglar-proof safe the opportunity. It was, however, not so decided, and it is manifestly unjust to take a third-class HERRING'S safe, and maintain that on all points t was equal to an extra quality of safe manu factured expressly by Mr. CHATWOOD as a chal lenge to the burglars of the world. All Mr. HERRING contends for his firm is, that with an inferior safe he has beaten, according to the terms of the Committee, the best safe CHAT WOOD could manufacture. It is amusing to see how the correspondent of the Daily Tekgraph shifts his ground when it suits his book. It was unfair iu the HERRING party to strip the CHATWOOD Safe, batter in its side, and knock out its top—but see ! he exclaims, the HERRING'S Safe literally torn to ribbons, and scarce a feature of its original con struction to be recognised. " Was this done without manual strength, and without an amount of noise no burglar in his senses would dare to risk ?" On one side we are informed of the skilful and cun ning devices of the Germans—on the other atten tion is directed to the huge sledge hammer used with such unsparing strength. However they acted, it was clear the HERRING party could give no satis faction to their opponents, whether deftly insinuat ing a chisel, or - peeling the safe before the eyes of its astonished and dismayed maker. But all these are objections easily answered, however unfairly advanced, while the real malice and venom of the defeat is seen in the attack on Mr. HOYLE in his alleged bias, and against Mr. JOSEPH E. HOLMES, who gave his opinion as to a fair remuneration for professional fees to the civil engineers employed. Mr. HOLMES, as perfectly justified, took HERRING'S victory as granted. Nothing could be more clear than that the victory was lIERRING's, and the prize at his disposal, subject to the conditions laid down in the articles. Mr. HoLmEs suggested what he considered fair remuneration, and hence arose the charge of bribery and corruption. Mr. HOLMES merely discussed a proposition advanced by one of the English members of the committee, stating at the time that if the English members pre ferred it, he was in favour of the whole going to charities; each competitor paying his share of the expenses from his own pocket as allowed and audited by the committee. There appears to be little doubt in the minds of those influenced only by upright and honourable motives as to who was the conqueror. The articles of agreement were, that the committee should consist of five engineers—" two English to be appointed by the said SAMUEL CHATWOOD, two Americans or others to be appointed bythe said SILAS C. HER RING ; the four thus appointed to appoint a fifth, who shall be a French engineer, the decision of the majority to be final on all points." To these was added a secretary, thus making six gen tlemen. Of these six, Messrs. MALLET!' and FAIRLIE, the engineers appointed by Mr. CHATWOOD, hold opinions at variance with those of the other four—at variance with common sense, as well as in direct contradiction of the resolutions drawn up by themselves. They make a muddle, stirring up the mud in a stream that ought to be perfectly clear, in hopes in the confusion of swimming off with the prize. But the first article bars this, which provides that the deci sion of the majority should be final. The Telegraph has certainly one way of putting it, which condenses into a sentence the spirit that actuated Mr. CHAT WOOD'S nominees. These are the correspondent's words :—" They decline to hear M. DOULIOT'S re port (the French engineer elected by themselves), feeling certain as to which side it would tend, and formally withdrew from the committee." A course more self-condemnatory could not have been taken, or a more absurd reason advanced. They elect a man expressly to award the decision, and then be cause they know that decision will be adverse, withdraw from the committee, refusing to hear it. Why, two babies could not have adopted a more childish course. It would better have become them if they had pulled out their pocket handker chiefs and had a good roar over the result. As M. DOULIOT has reported strongly in favour of the HERRING Safe, we presume this question will be settled ere this appears in print. We propose next week to discuss the pamphlet termed " Fighting Fire," which gives some interesting facts relating to the history of the Safe manufacture, and a curious account of the rise of the great firm of which SILAS C. HERRING is the senior partner.--Anglo- America n Times. A NOVEL WEDDING. In the peculiar but highly interesting village of Northowram, there have been living for the last 23 or 26 (it being a disputed point as to the exact number) years a couple of elderly persons, both of whom we should judge to be closely verging upon 60 years of age, known respectively in the neigh bourhood as Tom and Rachel, but up to Saturday last have been living as man and wife without having gone through the marriage ceremony. How long this state of things would have continued it is a difficult matter to determine, had it not been at tributable to the circumstance that, having both joined friendly societies some time since, from which their friends would be entitled to a few pounds at the death of the worthy pair, they had recently made the important discovery that, according to the so cieties' rules, if one of them was to die while in an unmarried state the one left could not claim the money. To avoid such an unfortunate occurrence, they had at length determined that they would be united in the holy bonds of matrimony, and had several times scraped together a small sum of money to be devoted to that purpose, but somehow Tom had always found a mode of spending it which gave him greater satisfaction. At last their friends de cided, in order to accomplish the desired object, they would raise the necessary funds by subscription among themselves ; and, we are informed, about 60 persons contributed a few shillings each, with which they were determined, as they said, to have a " jolly spree." They arranged to employ all the donkeys which the township could muster, but this not being agreeable to the bride, was dropped. On the morn ing of Saturday, which was the day fixed for the cele bration of the event, the people in the neighbourhood were all full of excitement in anticipation of it, which even extended into Halifax itself, as the news of the wedding had been afloat for two or three days pre viously. At a quarter-past ten the interesting procession started from the abode of the happy pair. It was headed by a man playing on a violin, followed by a well known person named " Tommy," a relative of the bride's, who was, after all, mounted on an ass, and wore a scarlet coat, and a hat which had been got up expressly for the occasion, being made with a large and overhanging crown, from which were suspended strings of beads all round. Immediately after this imposing personage came the bride, escorted by a young man known by the name of " Gad." The woman was very plainly dressed, wearing a straw hat slightly trimmed with blue ribbon ; but Gad's costume was in every respect remarkable. He was enveloped in a " coat of many colours," which appeared to have been made out of an old shawl, and reached nearly to the ground, and in the place of two buttons at the back it was adorned with two coloured paper rosettes. Under neath this he wore a white vest with black buttons, which was ornamented with the empty frame of a hand looking-glass, suspended from his neck by a piece of narrow blue ribbon, and through which he occasionally took a survey of the people around ; this article of wearing apparel was also adorned with a superfluous amount of watch chain. He also wore a large white necktie, and a pair of knee breeches and white stockings, and undoubtedly was the person who attracted most attention. Following these there were about eight couples, composed of men and women of all ages, and two or three of the males being very grotesquely attired, one of them having, in addition to knee breeches, white stock ings, and a peculiarly shaped coat, stuck a lady's brooch into a white necktie. The bridegroom, who was only ornamented with one rosette, fastened on his left breast, brought up the rear, accompanied by a smart young woman. They were followed by a large crowd of delvers and other persons—indeed, we have since heard that there was not a quarryman left in the village, and that the women were so busily engaged gossip ing and watching the strange wedding party, that in the evening there was scarcely a single house which had received its weekly cleansing. They arrived in the town at about a quarter to 11, where the already large crowd was considerably increased, and kept on augmenting until they reached the parish church, Halifax, where the ceremony was to be performed. The route they took after leaving North Bridge, was along Northgate, up Old Mar ket, on Corn Market and Southgate, down Horton street, and entered the churchyard opposite the Ring of Bells Inn. As they were going down Horton street Tommy fell off his donkey, but was quickly assisted by about half a dozen big fellows, and rein stated in his honourable position. The violinist was also protected frOm the pressure of the crowd by two or throe persons on each side. There were a large number of people waiting in the churchyard, many of them having been there for upwards of an hour. The party had to wait in the yard 15 or 20 minutes before they could be admitted into the sacred edifice, during which time jocular remarks were freely made use of, Gad receiving a good share of them, but, fortunately for himself, did not seem much annoyed by what was said ; and poor Tommy and his mule were actually carried about the yard. At length the door was opened, and guarded by three or four policemen to keep the mob out, but after the first two couples had entered was shut again, leaving the greater portion of the party out side, including the bridegroom, who, naturally enough, was made very uneasy by such an unex pected proceeding, and cried out (like the man who was going to be hanged), " Why, yo can do nowt ba'at me." The door, however, was immediately opened, and the rest of the party went in, with the exception of Tommy and another old man, who could not get up to the door for the crowd. Inside the church there were not many people to witness the ceremony, which was gone through without any' , thing remarkable taking place, except that only three of the party actually took part in it, Gad performing the duties of both bridesmaid and groomsman, look ing very much like a robed attendant on some im portant personage. We hear, however, that the clergy insisted on payment before the work was done. After leaving the church they again formed in a procession, headed by the violinist, Tommy and the donkey, followed by the newly-married pair and the remainder of the company, the crowd, of course, pressing on all sides. Unfortunately, it had now begun to rain very sharply, which necessitated the use of umbrellas, consequently making it more difficult to get along, especially as the multitude had now increased to so large a number that it might now be counted by hundreds. A number of Northowramites, however, did good service by taking hold of each other's hands, in addition to some of them being armed with whips and sticks, and in this manner forced a way for the wedding party by keeping in front. They marched up Square-road and Woolshops, where several persons had climbed up on to the lamp-post which stands at the top, in order to get a good place of observa tion; they then went up Old Market, Crown-street, Silver-street, King Cross-street, and turned on Lord-street ; thence up Lister-lane, on Clarence street, and up Gibbet-street, till they arrived at the Prince of Wales Hotel. It was an intensely ani mated scene all along the route taken by the pro cession ; and the crowd took good care to let those inside know they were coming, by shouting with all their might at every turning. immediately after their arrival at the Prince of Wales's every room was filled to overflowing, and the exhilarating liquid—strong ale—began to be carrid about the room in abundance, and no doubt, before the company parted, showed its enlivening power. The wedding party were conducted up stairs, and judging from the particularly pleasant odour which pervaded the house, and a hasty glimpse at a large piece of beef suspended before the kitchen fire, we should imagine that there were merry doings at the place from that time until after ten 10 o'clock at night, when, we are informed, the humorous party were seen winding their way homewards, to renew the celebration of the event on the Monday night following in Northowram.—Halifax Courier. DANGEROUS 7 ENDENCIES OF MILITARY RULE. --- s - Colonel GILBERT, commanding in Camden, Arkansas, has admirably illustrated the tendencies of military rule. The Eagle newspapr, published in that town, had the impertinence to comment o❑ the military. In reply—a party of soldiers, led by Major PIERCE, entered the office, broke up the type, smashed the furniture, and strewed the street with the debris. The publisher appealed to Colonel GIL BERT, who defended the lawless act. Appeal was then made to General ORD to restrain the lawless ness of the men under his command. The auda cious outrage had attracted the attention of that commander, who called upon the colonel for an explanation, which was readily given by the military autocrat. " The soldiers are not servants of the people of Arkansas," wrote Colonel GILBERT, " but their masters, and it is felt to be a great piece of impertinence for the newspapers in this State to comment on General NEIL under any circumstances whatever." Who could suppose that such a sen tence could be written by a Republican officer, trained in the service of the leading republic of the world ? Scarcely was the ink of this correspond ence dry, when a lieutenant of the Federal army, commanding a post in Mississippi, marched a detach ment of soldiers in to an hotel, to compel the land lord to receive there, as a boarder, a woman he kept. We invite the attention of American citizens to these remarkable facts, which speak volumes for the tendencies of military rule. It is dangerous for people to ignore history, or to suppose for a moment that any country can prove an exception to natural laws, or that human nature will differ in the slightest degree, whether the air that is breathed be American, Asiatic, African, or European. A few years of violence will generate very curious notions in the instruments. The ten dencies of an army long employed on active service are to separate from the rest of the com munity into a distinct class —to substitute brute force for reason and justice—to trample on their fellow-citizens —and to combine in a brother hood, where they consider their interests in volved. They quickly learn to set up a special code, as applicable to themselves, and by which they are bound—and they readily give their support to an ambitious chief sufficiently strong, talented, and unscrupulous, to command their con fidence and admiration. Indeed it is often difficult for the chief they have elected as their god to resist the pressure they bring to bear, and many have been forced to assume the purple against their inclina tion, whom history styles—ambitious usurpers ! The soldiers who are the masters of the people of Arkansas may assert the mastery over any State of the Union, and with equal right. The question is not one of right—it is simply one of power. Most republics, ambitious of military glory, have fallen under the instruments they created to gratify the national vanity, and if the majority of the United States' officers held similar views to Colonel GILBERT, the Republic, which has been set up as a model to the world, might fare no better than its great predecessor of Rome. The people should not overlook the serious indications shown in the report of this officer. Nothing more audacious could have been advanced. No more dangerous sentiments could be enunciated. If it is a great piece of im pertinence for a newspaper to comment on the acts of an officer holding a high civil as well as military post—if the offence is to be judged by any subordi nate who happens to be on the spot—if the sentence he decrees be executed by himself by marching a body of the armed men he commands to destroy the obnoxious newspaper—if he can openly defend such conduct by stating that the soldiers are the masters, not the servants, of the people—and if this passes without a general condemnation of the act and a severe punishment to the actor, then we assume that principles are gaining head which will eventu ally be fatal to the great Republic. Fortunately, however, the General in command of the District was not the man to accept such reasons as those advanced by Colonel GILBERT. General ORD replied—" You will please explain why this act was not prevented by you, as Post Commander, and if the requirements of the 32d Article of War have been complied with. Your assertion that General NEIL'S forces are not the servants of the people of Arkansas, but rather their masters,' is unjust both to the people and to General NEIL, and unfounded in law. The laws are for the benefit of the people. The assumption that a party of soldiers could, at their own option, forcibly destroy a citizen's property and commit a gross violation of the public peace would not be tolerated under a NAPOLEON." The Colonel was placed in arrest, and a court martial assembled to try him for a violation of the express provisions of the Reconstruction Act, Major PIERCE and the lieuten ant being similarly dealt with. Had anE nglish officer attempted a proceeding so high handed and justified it on such grounds, he would have raised a storm of indignation over the empire. But the English have been warned by the history of a thousand years, and they have no fancy for again submitting to the rule of a CROMWELL and his Ironsides. To them it is inexplicable how people .of their own race can receive so quietly, accounts of proceedings directed against their liberties. Americans rest on a fancied security, which may sonic day be violently disturbed. Till but lately, they so worshipped their Constitution that it was accounted sacrilege in him who spoke against it. Their own act has torn that Constitu tion— a battery of artillery has been driven through it, and they would be wise now jealously to watch the tendencies of the age, that the substance of their liberties at least may be carefully guarde.l. We trust the Eagle " may, like the Phoenix, arise from its ashes " at the expense of the State in time to report the proceedings of the court-martial on Colonel GILBERT, and to uphold in its own sheet the full liberties of speech. The life or death of a hundred Eagles might matter little, but the dearest principle to the American citizen is involved—the liberty of the people. Mobs may act on impulses —may burn, lynch, and riot, but they are not the paid servants of the State—the trained soldiers, in whose unlawful action so many great Republics have found a grave.—Anglo-Anterican Times. WILLIAM COBBETT. Here we have a very distinct variety of the Writing Man. As to poetry and philosophy, Cob bett held them in the most hearty and genuinek 4 contempt. His ignorance of all that is highest in literature was immense, and he was immensely proud of it. The broad-shouldered, beetle-browed, shrewd, indefatigable, self-esteeming, pugnacious, obstinate man, unlearned and unimaginative, crammed with prejudices and personal likings and dislikings, looked upon his own practical common sense as the final standard of everything in heaven and earth. When he set up the Register Cobbett was about forty years old, and he soon became a political power in the kingdom, and a thorn, or a whole bush of thorns, in the side of the ministry— of every ministry in turn. He was never quiet for a day, always fighting twenty people at a time, and knocking them down in turn with his cudgel, like Master Punch. In 1803 he came under two fines of £5OO each for libels on members of the Irish Government. Having begun as a partisan of Pitt, he changed round (it was said under the effect of a personal slight), attacked Pitt violently, and his funding system; backed Sir Francis Burdett, and became recognised as one of the leading " Radicals." In 1810, for an article on the flogging of two militiamen at Ely, he was prosecuted by the Crown, fined £l,OOO, and sent to prison for two years. The Register for July 14th is dated from " Newgate ;" and the sturdy man is as full of courage and fight as ever. This work (he says), of which I now begin the eighteenth volume, has had nothing to support it but its own merits. Not a pound, not even a pound in paper money, was ever expended in advertising it. It came up like a grain of mustard, and like a grain of mustard-seed it has spread over the whole civilised world. And why has it spread more than other publications of the same kind? There have not been wanting imitations of it. There have been some dozens of them I believe ; same size, same form, same type, same heads of matter, same title—all but the word expressing my name. How many efforts have been made to tempt the public away from me, while not one attempt has been made by me to prevent it ; Yet all have failed. The changeling has been dis covered and the wretched adventurers have then endeavoured to wreak their vengeance on me. They have sworn that I write badly ; that I publish no thing but trash ; that I am both fool and knave. But still the readers hang on to me. One would think, as Falstaff says, that I had given them love powder. No ; but I have given them as great a rarity, and something full as attractive—namely, truth in clear language. After his two Years-in prison, Cobbett emerged again, pugnacious and undaunted, though not fifty years old. He had a strong frame, perfect health, and cheerful temperament, rose early, took plenty of exercise, was very moderate in diet, eschewing wine and spirits, tea and coffee, and also vegetables (which he called " garden stuff"), and eating as little meat and bread as he could prevail on his teeth to be satisfied with; his drink beer, milk, and water. He was very fond of farming, which he understood well, and also of field sports, especially hunting• During the middle part of his life he occupied for some time a farm at Botley, in Hampshire. In his family life he was one of the most fortunate of men• I have seven children (he wrote), the greater part of whom are fast approaching the state of young men and young women. I never struck one of then% in anger in my life ; and I recollect only one single instance in which I have ever spoken to one of them in a really angry tone and manner. And when I had so done, it appeared as if my heart was gone out of my body. It was but once, and I hope it will never be again. . . . In my whole life I never spent one evening away from my own home, and without some part, at least, of my family, if I waS not at a distance from that home. COUNTRY MARKETS. LEEDS-TUESDAY.
