THE LAST INSURRECTION IN SPAIN. The late riots, or insurrections, at Barcelona and Gracia are excellent samples of the state in which the authorities are set at defiance in Spain, and equally of the style in which the rule of law and order is restored. These are risings commenced in certain villages outside the city of Barcelona. On the night of Monday week barricades were raised in Barcelona at several points. Their number was not considerable, and their strength of slight importance ; some were unde fended, and others defended only by stone- throwing, for want of arms. Nothing was easier than to settle the busi ness without difficulty ; but the authorities were deter • mined to make a war of it. A Grimsby merchant, who was pre, , ent, expresses his disgust at the doings of the officials, writing on April 9, he says " The authorities, for some reason of their own, or from a misconception, were pleased to consider Gracia---a place of 20,000 or 30,000 people, three-quarters of a mile outside Barcelona—as the focus and strongest point of the movement and commenced throwing shot and shell on Tuesday, which continued in cessantly till Friday evening, and it is particularly to be remarked they never once made even an attempt to enter the place. This morning a tremendous parade of forces was made and a grand attack arranged. Three divisions were to move on as many points at the same moment, preceded by a heavy cannonade, with anoth er di v i s i on i n reserve for support. Aft er all this preparation the soldierly did simply what they might have done on any of the four preceding days--entered the place and took possession, without —or, to be safe, say, with scarcely any fighting ; in fact, there was not a single soldier killed. The barri cades were not formidable, and no one was found to defend them. Yes, by-the -by, one of them was defendel by a woman, whose husband had been shot the day before !" " An Englishman in Spain " furnishes the Pall Mall Gazette with similar particulars of this remarkable out break :—" On Tuesday, at daylight, the cannonade opened, and the boom awoke the whole city. One battery was planted in front of the barricade which guarded the main street of Gracia ; another, to the right of it, in front of some open ground to the east ward, to command another barricade at the end of another street. Both were at the comfortable distance of six hundred yards. They fired all day ; they fired a thousand shot ; they cut in two trees which had not been used by the insurgents for their barricades ; they knocked the head off a lamp-post ; they hit private and inncent houses lying out of the range of fire ; they knocked the poor village about in many parts ; but they did not destroy the barricades, nor kill a single fighting man, nor lose a single man of their own. I have the best information about the defence, as it was seen by a friend who was in Gracia all the time. The barricades were as a rule about"three feet high, and made of trees and stones, the facings being formed of granite slabs taken from the seats of the promenade. These slabs were placed at angles, and constantly turned the shot ; so that, as the shot did not hurt the barricades nor their defenders—who popped round corners after each discharge—the brunt of the busi ness fell upon the unlucky respectable people's houses. The insurgents were never more than three hundred in number, and were simple working men, armed with com mon fowling-pieces and old-fashioned blunderbusses—tra bums. They fought, I am told,with great composure and good order. Their cry was always ' Death to Prim ?' a cry which would suit many political theories of the revolt, and would be compatible with its being Repub lican, Carlist, or Alfonsist ; but which also is quite unintelligible if the movement be simply set down as a protest in arms against the conscription. There is so much that is subterranean in Spanish politics, such rills from the Pactolus flow gently through them out of sight, that I always laugh at the wiseacres who pretend to interpret the political significance of rows of this kind. Buggins, the missionary, sees the Pope an d th e C ar li st in everything ; is convinced that the priest next door means to have him killed ; and takes care of a life so invaluable to the cause of Protestantism by an early bolt out of the seat of danger. The manufacturer who has thriven b smuggling ; the m erc h ant w h ose agents steal British coal by false weights ; the contractor who remembers the good old quiet days of jobbery, when his own party had the jobs to give —these unite in cursing the ' Republicans ' for making order and commerce impossible. They are perhaps both right ; they are perh a p s both. wrong. All one ca n sa y is that, though there are cer tainly many Republicans, and probably a good many Carlists, in G racia , th ere are no means of proving that either party planned or paid for the disturbance. The most certain inference from it is that it has placed the Government in a humiliating position and shewn that Prim's popularity is on the wane." This writer's account of the final charge on Friday cor responds with that given by the Grimsby merchant. The thine was settled without the slightest difficulty. THE LAST B iTTLE OF LOPEZ. The accounts of the last pursuit and defeat of the Paraguayan Dictator shew that he was reduced to the last extremity, and quite incapable of making any stand against a properly appointed force. It appears that the Brazilian General Camara marched from Concepcion on the 26th of December, pursued Lopez, and captured various posts down to the 14th of January. On the day the final series of combats com menced, the Brazilian vanguard overtook and skirmished with the Paraguyan outposts, at Samarugua, near San Pedro, where he had about GOO men drawn up in line, with his left on an orange grove, his centre on two large houses, and his right in an old clearing, while his front . was so covered by the woods as to allow it to be seen only when at a distance. The struggle was short. The Brazilian infantry soon broke through the woods, formed on the enemy's flanks and charged, accompanied by the cavalry. Many prisoners were taken, and one flag, 236 muskets, 249 lances, 32 swords, &c., while the Brazilian loss amounted to only three killed and four wounded. During these operations General Camara's troops made 154 prisoners, of whom 54 were sent to Rosario, 32 died, and 54 were released b ecause o f t h e i r youth. The com mander of a foraging party of Paraguayans in the Brazi lian service reports that the distance from Curuguaty to Lopez's post, near Panadero, was 65 miles, 48 through woods. The road was choked with felled trees for about half a mile ; and so many putrifying bodies lay in it, that most of the party fell sick. At the camp of L o p ez many women and men w ere lying dead, some with their hands tied. Many others in a dying state were found, and over one hundred persons who could travel, were brought away. Carts, accoutrements, and arms were also found abandoned on the road. From information given to them they learned that Lopez had thrown into the river the cannon mounted at the Aguarahy-guassu ford, and, as he ascended the Cerro, had caused trees to be felled into the road behind him, which was done for fifteen miles, and that after leaving the Cerro he had gone on, upon the 11th of January, either to Cerra CorA or Dourados. According to the statement of Lieutenant Villalba, who deserted on the 10th, General Roa, with 130 men, was then engaged in crossing cannon and carts over the Aguarahy, and had thrown six pieces into the river for want of means-of conveyance. Lopez had passed some days before, accompanied by Generals R esqu i n, C a b a ll ero, and Delgodo, with about 600 so ldi ers, c hi efly sick, and boys, of whom only a few had muskets and four rounds each. Besides the ammunition carried with the cannon there was no reserve. Lopez had sixteen carts, but of • what the loads consisted Lieutenant Villalba did not know; nor how much cattle was in front, nor what had become of Lopez' s b ro th er Venancio and his sisters ; but his mother was conveyed as a prisoner in a small cart. Many soldiers died of hunger every day, but any found stealing food were killed. A good many deserters were in the woods, but could not travel from want of food." The last combat in which Lopez was killed has already been detailed by telegraph, It seems that several weeks elapsed before the prey was finally brought down. A dispatch to the Minister of Brazil in Buenos Ayres from Councillor Paranhos is as follows :—" Asuncion, March 5, 1870.—Long live the allied armies ! Lopez was overtaken by the forces of General Camara on the left bank of the Aquidaban on the Ist instant ; he was wounded in the fight, and not choosing to surrender, was killed during the action. The mother and sisters of the tyrant, with several field officers, among whom is General Resquin, have fallen into our hands. General Caballero was i n another point, and a cavalry force had already marched against him. Mrs. Lynch was hid in the woods, and up to the moment of the above news being forwarded, which was immediarely after the action, she had not been met with. Your Excellency will be pleased to felicitate the members of the Argentine Government in my name." speaking of this termination to the war the Buenos Ayres Standard observes :—" It may be truly remarked that Lopez was the cause of his own ruin ; had he followed the discreet and wise policy of his father he would be to-day the Republican monarch of Paraguay. Had he had as much genius as ambition, the elements at his disposal were every way sufficient to carry out his programme, but he lacked generals and the smallest spark of military talent. As a patriot he was nothing, for he refused to leave the country, when Gould offered him terms the most honourable. As a soldier he was still less, for he never figured on a battlefield until hunted down at Aquidaban. He has cut a figure in South America which it is difficult to extenuate, and which calls for the calmest contemplation to define." T. BADEN PARLIAMENT.—There has been a . brisk inte rc h ange of despatches between Paris, Vienna, and Berlin, in consequence of the speech delivered at the close of the session of the Baden Parliament. On this occasion the Grand -Duke told the representatives of his people that he was decidedly in favour of the annexation of the Grand Duchy to Prussia. It seems his opinson is not shared either by his subjects or by the great continen tal powers, and that the dispatche s in question have referred to the matter. Lord Clarendon has asked the English Ambassador at Paris, Berlin, and Carlsruhe to send him a special report o f th e speech of the Grand Duke. MINISTERIAL CRISIS IN AUSTRIA. --The terial crisis appears to be over in Austria. The Official Gazette has published Imperial decrees, which reliev e Dr. Giskra, Herr Prestel, and Dr. Herbst from their functions as Ministers. An autograph letter of the Empe ror d ecrees the appointment of the members . of the new Ci s l e ith an Cabinet, with C oun t P o t oc ki f or its chief. This _Ministry has been formed, i n s pit e o f th e e fforts of th e German party, which organised a sort of political strike around Count Potocki. According to the North-East Correspon dence, the Count is the less discouraged because he counts upon the support of the Emperor and Count Emit. His plan is to proceed at once to the elections, which he will conduct in the most liberal manner, so that the real opinion of the country may be obtained. He will at tempt to make terms with Gallicia which will be easy, and with Bohemia which will present greater difficulties, if it is not found quite impracticable. It is worthy of notice that Count Beust found himself in a similar posi tion to that of Count Potocki when he undertook. the task of making a compromise with H ungary. At that time he held several portfolios himself, and had only a few colleagues, who w ere somewhat insignificant. The elections will be vigorously contested, an d the various .arties have bawd their manifestoes and organised meet . • of a character which shows thai the struggle willpe • v mos WIRE TRAMWAYS, There is exhibiting on the Brighton Downs at the pre sent time a wire tramway five miles in length, in perfect working order. It illustrates the immense advantages of this singularly cheap and effective method whereby, as a feeder to railways or maritime transit, goods, minerals, and agricultural produce may be conveyed. The system was introduced to public notice about fourteen months ago by Mr. Hodgson, the civil engineer, who is sole in ventor and patentee. Since then it has been adopted in tns country, and to a greater extent in France, with a success which has far exceeded the ex p:ctations of the promoters. While wire tram ways can never really supersede railways and c mals, they will aid both by developing resources which would otherwise remain sealed. A party of gentlemen under the guidance of Mr. Beale, the agent of th e pitentee, i ns p ec t e d t h e works at Brighton on Wednesday. From a summit of the Downs they saw what appeared to be double telegraph wires laid up hill, through dale, and in a devious, but speaking roughly, a circular course. The posts were of iron instead of wood, and constructed of light bars instead of solid timber. The seeming wires were as thick as a walking-stick, and from th em a t intervals hung ir on b oxes , so fixed and so constructed that when the wire which was in reality an iron rope, began to move the boxes moved with it, one set passing away, the other coming forward. The whole system of wire tramways with all its ingenuity and obvious merits stood revealed. In a hollow puffed the engine which gave life to the whole, and near it the drum around which the rope ran its endless course. Each box was capable of holding a hundred weight and a half, and the full ones are made to go on to the terminus, bringing back by their movement the empties. By a clever contrivance the posts, some of which are seventy feet high, are cleared without a hitch, and by an elaboration of pulleys, large and small, angles and curves are passed without stoppage. The line, though five miles long, thus employs a rope of double that length. The difficult ground on the Downs was selected to shew the facility of the system to some gentlemen who were negotiating for sixty miles of tramway in Ceylon. The difficulties en countered are peculiar. The line is bent in two pieces at right angles, and there are curves and serious undulations of the most trying character. In the length of five miles there are 112 posts. The rope is of charcoal iron, and two inches in circumference. The iron boxes run their course of five miles in about an hour. It is a 16-horse power engine which sets the whole in motion. The line is capa ble of delivering two hundred and forty tons per day of ten hours. The endless wire rope, which is the characteristic of the system, is supported on a series of pulleys carried by substantial posts, which are ordinarily 300 ft. apart. Where necessary, longer space, say of 1,000 ft., may be taken. At one end of the line the rope passes round a drum, driven by whatever power is used, at the rate of from four to eight miles an hour. The boxes carrying the load are hung on the rope at the load ing end, by means of a special attachment which enables it to pass the pulleys and posts with perfect ease ; the boxes carry from one to ten hundredweight each ; the delivery is at the rate of 100 boxes per hour. The loading and discharging arrangements, like the proportions of the lines themselves can be varied to any extent, to suit the requirements of any particular trade or district. The carrying power ranges from 10 to 1,000 tons per day. A special arrangement of rails at the end of thane is made, which for the moment detaches the cargo-box from the influence of the rope, shifts it in any . direction required, yet allows of a resumption of its position on the rope at will, so that the succession being continuous, the rope never stops. Sharp or sudden curves, as at Brighton, are easily passed, and inclines of one in six or seven are admissible. It will be perceived that, although in a long line steam power would be necessary, water or horses in a limited application of the sy s t em would suffice. Among the manifold advantages attending the syttem are these :—ln cross and hilly districts there would by little increase of expense, where the cost of any thing in nature of a road would be increased tenfold. In point of fact no power is lost on the undulating ground, as the descending helps the asc en di ng l oa d s. The only ground occupied is for the planting of the posts and the termini. The system seems particularly adapted to short transport from mines to railways, the landing or shipping of good s i n h ar b ours and road steads, and the carriage of agricultural produce on farms. In lines terminating on the seaboard there would be great facility for taking goods to o r f rom th e vessels without the medium of the lighter. There are lines at present at Ashby-de-la-Zouch, France (six), and Pesth, and others are in course of construction in Peru, New Zealand, Brazil, Italy, S we d en, and Barking Creek. As compared with other modes of transit the cost is remarkably small. In the colonies and foreign countries the system promises to be of most extensive application. The tramway will be at work during the Review on Monday.—Daily News. Since the 4th of November, 1809, the Bank of England rate of discount has been 3 per cent. The United States Government have sent an officer to Yokohama, Japan, to make a full inquiry re specting the collision between the Bombay and the Oneida off that port. A NEiV SPECIES OF PIG.—A farmer wrote as follows to a distinguished scientific agriculturist to whom he felt under obligations for introducing a variety of swine ; "Respected sir, I went yesterday to the cattle show. I found several pigs of your species. There was a great variety of hogs, and I was astonished at not seeing' you there." CELEBRATION OF A NEW YEAR'S DAY IN CON STANTINOPLE.—Saturday, the 2nd instant, was the Ist of D Moharem, the Mus su ] man N ew Year's ay-1287. A levee was held at the palace on Sunday, which was observed as a general holiday at all the public offices. During the coming week the Sultan will make his cus stomary yearly visit to the Porte, to hear read the annual return of the Council of State, when his Majesty is expected to deliver an allocution. Monday, the 10th of the month, is the anniversary of the death of Hassan and Hussein, on which the chief religious ceremony of the year takes place among the Persians.—Levant Herald. DIED OF JOY.—In January, 1807, an institution was opened at Belvedere-on-Thames as an asylum for such old sailors as must otherwise go to the workhouse. Those who are fortunate enough to get elected are pro vided for for the remainder of their lives, and, as may be supposed, the prize is eagerly sought for. A few days ago one of the elections came off, at which there were twenty vacancies, and the candidates were 273 in number. Wm. Moses Blanchard, who had been four years lying in hope of being elected, was one of the fortunate ones who was to have been received into the house, but on his daughter reporting his good luck to him, he was so overjoyed that he died. Walter Ryan also, on being informed that he was elected to receive the out-pension, got so excited that he died suddenly. FROZEN TO DEATH ON THE PRAIRIEs.--The Blue Earth City (Minnesota) Post, of the 26th of March, gives the details of the freesing to death in the town of Seely, Blue Earth County, of the wife and three children of A. L. Bates. Mr. Bates lived on the prairie, some distance from any other habitation. During the preva lence of a fierce storm the house took fire and was burned to the ground, and before assistance could be obtained to relieve the family they perished with cold. Mr. Bates returned with assistance, but not before his wife had breathed her last. The same paper gives an account of the freezing to death during the same storm of two brothers, named Colman, living at Lake Bell, Martin County, Minnesota, of a German, named Dun hardt, and a Norwegian, name unknown, at Spencer, Clay County, Iowa; of three oth er men, names unknown, at Cherokee, lowa, and another at Herron Lake, Jackson County, lowa. TRAINING OF A POETICAL lump IN SOLITUDE.— In tliis humble situation Beattie spent the years between 1753 and 1758. In the almost total want of society, he devoted himself alternately to useful study and to poetical recreation. It was at this period of his life his supreme delight to saunter in the fields the livelong night, con templating the sky and mar ki ng t h e approach of day. At a small distance from the place of his residence a deep and extensive glen, finely clothed with wood, runs up into the mountains. Thither he frequently repaired; and there several of his earliest pieces were written. From that wild and romantic spot he drew, as from the life, some of the finest descriptions and most beautiful pictures of nature that occur in his poetical compo sitions. It is related that, on one occasion, having lain down early in the morning on the bank of his favou rite rivulet, adjoining to his mother's house, he had fallen asleep; on awaking it was not without astonishment that he found he had been walking in his sleep, and that he was then at a considerable distance (about a mile and a half) from the place where he had lain down. On his way back to that spot he passed some labourers, and inquiring of them if they had seen him walking along, they told him that they had, with his head hanging down, as if looking for something he had lost. Such an incident, though by no means unexampled, shews to what a degree Beattie was now the creature of impulse and imagination. He was, indeed, exactly the fanciful being whom he has described in " The Minstrel."—Scottish Biographical Dic tionary. THE SUPPLY OF SULPHUR.—SiciIy has hitherto supplied the world with most of the sulphur it consumes, extracting it from th e s id es o f M ount Etna ; but a rival is arising in California. The Sulphur Works on Clear Lake produce all the Pacific Coast can consume —about four tons daily. Clear Lake occupies the crater of an extinct volcano, having a sulphur bed about eight miles from the southern end on the eastern shore, the bank resembling ashes, with numerous alkaline and sulphur springs and vent-holes, whence fumes issue, surrounded by crystals of pure sulphur. The earth, containing about fifty per cent. of sulphur, is placed in an inch retort, which is heated to a high temperature, so that the sulphur is driven off in fumes into a receiver, where it settles in a liquid form, and runs out into pine boxes two feet long and a foot square. It is as pure as the Sicilian brimstone, but the latter comes in sticks, which are more convenient for handling when small pieces are wanted. The adjacent country bears marks of vol canic action, the lake, the geysers , and St. Helena f orm i ng a triangle eac h about twenty-five miles frOrn the other two. The vent-hole fumes are now carried into a large chamber., where th ey condense into a flaky snow-like condition, and eight new quicksilver and sulphur mines have been opened up. As the three in operation employ over 300 m en , it i s calculat e d th at the eight new ones will increase the num- NbeortTono,ooa,,aoncsl j e gi a v ia e u an br e im nh s a to n n e e ed m v_ as alu c e on t s o uin th e e d district. 0 fornia at a cost of four cents per pound.

It is expected that the acoucheinent of her Royal High ness Princess Christian will take place in May.

CULTY. (From the Anglo-American Times) Both the United States and the United King dom have a little affair of Territories on hand, which, however small, are as much calculated to fret these great nations as the spiteful proceedings of an incorrigible, weak individual, acting spite fully against his wealthy neighbour, may puzzle him how to get rid of the nuisance. Of the two, the United States difficulty is much the greater ; still we cannot I redid, with certainty, what the result may be of the Red River insurrection. We have now the particulars of the debate in the House of Rrpresentatives on the Utah Polygamy Bill, re ported six weeks ago by thc Committee on Territories. Mr. WARD, a member of that Committee, addressed the House in support of the Bill on the 22d of March, assaulting Mormonism furiously, as well as Mr. FITCH, who had upheld it in a speech made a month before. Though Mr. WARD'S power of imagination did not carry him to the spot where he could see any one on the floor of the House and in the face of the country, in the last half of the 19th century, with the effrontery to defend the Mor mons, yet Mr. HOOPER, the Delegate from Utah, boldly stood up for the rights of the Territory and its people. For the first time, the Delegate said, in the history of the American Government,. a propo sition had been made to punish citizens for their belief or disbelief. " The bill declared that the social system which MOSES taught, which GOD allowed, and from which CHRIST had sprung, was a crime, and that every one not simply practising it, but believing in it, was to be—not tried, but convicted ; his wife turned out on the world, and his property confiscated for the benefit of the moral reformers who were the instigators of the bill." It is curious to contrast this language with that of Mr. IVARD, Mr. BLAIR, and Mr. PO3IEROY. JOE SMITH, Mr. WARD described " as a vagabond, drunkard, and thief, who, 40 years ago in 'Western New York, got around him a little crew of 30 persons in Seneca County, and instituted the religion of the 'Latter Day Saints.' He spoke of BRIGHA3I YOUNG as having become disgusted with the honourable occu pation of digging potatoes, and joined the Mormon, becoming their chief after the death of JOE SMITH, when he readily fell into the doctrine that poly gamy was apart of the religion of the Mormons.'' Having thus discussed the chiefs, he sketched the system of missions by which Mormonism had in creased its followers in Utah from 4,000 to 100,000, and he went on to remark that instead of the rail road and the colonization of the adjacent districts sapping the foundation of Mormonism, Mormonism was demoralizing all in contiguity with it. The " saints" were religious fanatics, ruled by an unscru pulous demagogue, to whom clung all degrees of crime, from paltry theft to monstrous murder. Was the great Republic to arise from its struggle against the oppression of the black man, stained with pracs tices within its boundaries so unhallowed, F.O God defying, so dishonouring? Was the country, which at such a fearful cost had removed the stigma of sla very, to have the finger of Christendom pointed at it in scorn as nursing so hateful an institution ? Was the dream of the Mormon prophet to be realized that the American nation was to be broken into fragments, and Mormonism was to become supreme. It was the duty of the American Congress at least to make an effort to vindicate the majesty of the 'aw. An attempt was made to have the bill laid on the t ,ble, but defeated by a majority of -3 to 1 ; and Mr. SCHENCK, who desired to get it postponed to proceed with his Tariff and Funding Bills, had to withdraw his motion. In the course of the debit.: Mr. BLAIR scouted the notion of serious redstance, alluding in proof to the report that BRIGHAM YOUNG was at that moment selecting a new locality in Arizona, In answer, Mr. HOOPER. said that BRIGHAM'S trip had no such object, being simply the usual tour he makes to outlying settLments, and that he will be home in a few weeks as a per manent settler in Salt Lake City. During 11r. BLAIR'S remarks the subject came up as to how the extra wives were to be disposed Of when the harems were broken up, and the House immediately re lapsed, with that remarkable facility it often dis plays, from the grave to the gay. Mr. BLAIR thought CRO3IWELL was right when he stamped his foot on the threshold of the convents he was about to break up, exclaiming to the nuns,. "Go, spin ye jades; go, spin !" Mr. NIBLACK jocularly suggested that the Freedmen's Bureau be despatched to look after the wives ; but Mr. BLAIR thought it would require considerable modification first, and this brought him to the allusion in Mr. FITCH'S speech to the gilded harems of New York and Boston, and the painted Jezabels all over the country. These differed widely from a community that organized lechery into law. When Mr. FITCH pitied the young man who fell in with DELILAH, Mr. BLAIR thought it was painfully evident that the Representative from Nevada would not make headway himself against DELILAH, and , he country must look elsewhere than to him to fight that creature. A short passage of arms then took place between the member from Kansas and the Delegate from Utah, which afforded those in the vicinity much amusement, but was not heard by the reporters; but the debate ended in the passage o f that portion of the Lill by 94 to 32 depriving poly gamists of the rights of citizenship and punishing them by fine and imprisonment. General j. W. SHAFFER, of Freeport, Illinois, left Chicago on the 15th March for Salt Lake City to enter on his official duties as Governor of Utsh, having been specially selected by the PRESIDENT in view of the coming crisis. But althouels the House has passed t he bill, with the clause struck out which would have authorised the PRESIDENT to despatch troop s and to raise volunteers for the coercion of the Mormons, it has still to pass the Senate, and even then to receive the s unction of the country as to whether it is to remain a dead letter, or to come into active operation. There is, however, no deny ing that the position is critical, for General SCHAF FER must enforce an Act of Congress, and this must immediately bring him into violent collision with the Church of the Latter Day Saints. Opinions are widely at variance as to what the Mormons will do. Some strenuously affirm that they will knuckle down if the Governor be firm, as they did once or twice before in the face of a determined 'General ; but this opinion loses weight, as it ie based on what is evidently a false calculation. On former occasions t heMormons may have surrendered a point of ter some bluster to avoid a dangerous collision ; but the point then did not involve their very existence as a community, which, however, will now become the matter in dis pute. There are others who affirm that BRIGHAM YOUNG'S followers are grossly ignorant ; are em bued, like all isolated communities, with an exagge rated notion of their power and the difficulty of reaching them, and are impeded by a fanaticism which could be blown by BRIGHAM'S breath into a glowing heat. But while acknowledging the one man power of Mormon ruse, we reach the heart of the subject. Supposing BRIGHA3I to be the despot he is considered, on him will hinge Mormon action, which then becomes narrowed to BRIGHAM YOUNG. In thefirst place, the prophet is old, and therefore more likely to be circumspect, and not impelled by arty fiery spirit which might spur on younger men ; in the st cord place, the prophet is rich, and there- f )re ern! ued with the caution that wealth ins' ir, s; in the third place, BRIGHAM is a clever, praciic.d man, with avarice as his salient point, and no one whose thirst is for gol 1, will plunge into that gold dissolver, war. If the American people are deter mined to suppress polygamy, and show that deter mination unmistakeably, the chances appear to be that BRIGHAM will have another revelation, whereby polygamy will cease to be the " Domes-. tic Institution" of Utab. Still, the materials are there for an explosion, and as man at best is brit a blunderer, the hand of some idiot may bring them together and produce the thunder-clap. The execution of Scow, at Fort Garry, March 3, on the charge that he had escaped from prison with other Canadians, and joined 'Major BOULTON'S movement against RIELLE'S Administration, seals with blood the in=urrection. From the moment of su:h a high. handed act, RIELLE b comes a mur d.rer in the eye of the - 11 w, and, if takfm, on the charge of inurthr RIELLE must 133 tried. In an swer to Mr. ArrouN, the Under Secretary for 'ha Colonies informed the Hous3 of Commons that the Canadian Administration as well as the Red River 'Convention had asked for British troops, and the expediency of despatching a small force was then under the consideration of the Govern ment. It is manifestly impossible for her MA JESTY'S Ministers to evade the responsibility of putting down this insurrection. RIELLE could have given any colouring he chose to his proceed ing so long as he had carefully abstained from shed ding blood, for, whether true or false, the Govern ment would gladly have seized any ; opportunity of granting liberal concessions and condoning past offences. But with SCOTT'S execution arises the question —Can the Imperial Government permit any person, or combination of persons, to assemble a Court and shoot on its decree a subject of her MAJESTY, for the alleged crime of having given his personal service to the attempt made to uphold the authority of the Crown in British territory ? If Major BOULTON and Dr. SHARPE were not autho rized to act in the capacity they assumed, their action might also be illegal, and SCOTT might then be regarded as engaged in an enterprise calculated to disturb the peace of the country. If RIELLE had bloodlessly preserved tranquillity till an over whelming force arrived on the scene, and then surrendered his power, he would have held a curious position. Even now he might plead nece-sity, and the fact that he was elected by the community to preserve order during an emergency. The in tention, however, appears to be evident that RIELLE and his followers intend to fight, as they rule by the force of terror, and they furnish another in stance of the false positions wherein a very igno rant, isolat d people are apt to place themselves. RIELLE, with his 500 half-breds, undertakes to fight the British Empire, and many of them believe that a sort rf Indian warfare only lies before them, while the mass do not trouble themselves to specu late at all on the future, sttisfied as they are with their present mode of riotous living on the Hudson Bay Company's stores. TIIE FOUNDERING OF THE ONEIDA. Congress has directed the Secretary of the Navy o order an inquiry into the Oneida disaster, and he subsequent conduct of Captain EYRE ; and the PRESIDENT having approved the resolution, the in vestigation will immediately take place. Mr. ROBE SON had already transmitted to the House the in formation in his possession about the loss of the Oneida. Judging from the testimony taken by the Court of Inquiry, from the evidence in thepossession of the Navy Department, and from the statements of the master YATES, the officer on board the Oneida at the time of the collision, the Department •is of opinion " that the Oneida, when the was struck, was steaming her proper course out to sea from the harbour ; that the ship was well commanded ; that the discipline on board was good ; and that all the necessary precautions had been taken by her com mander to insure the safe navigation of the vessel and prevent a collision. The rules of the road were conformed to agreeably to regulations of the United States' Navy, and no blame attached to the officers or crew of the Oneida for the collision. The Secre tary says it is asserted by the cap6in and some officers of the Bombay, that the Bombay, on round ing lianowaki Point, approached the oneida ahead, or a little on the port bow, and then took a course aI ich would have carded her well clear of the Oneida. This assertion is, in the of inion of the De partment, inconsistent with the real result of their evidence when closely examined, and it is forced to the conclusion, on the evidence now before it, that this disaster occurred through the bad navigation of the Bombay. No means appear to have been taken by the captain of the Bombay to render any assistance to the Oneida, although it seems inevitable that he should have bad reason to suppose that damage bad been done which was serious and dangerous. What ever doubt might exist as to the responsibility for the collision, there could hardly be a question as to the conduct of the captain of the Bombay after the collision, and the Department was constrained to say it appeared to have been the result of reckless disregard for human life and of the common obli gations of humanity." On the strength of this re port Senator STEWART, when the House reso lution reached the Senate, denounced Captain E] RE'S conduct, observing that it was evident he was interested in keeping the real facts from being known to the world. This must depend on what those facts are ; but we believe it to be in the inte rest of Captain EYRE that the real facts should be widely known, for the world condemns him so severely on the simple result that he cut the sttrn out of a ship, and then left Ler to sink, and 120 men t) drown, that it must be in a measure a relief to him if be were hanged, if the world's opinion is to remain unchanged. But, on the contrary, the publi cation of all the circumstances may tend to relieve Captain EYRE from some of the onus, shoeing that his conduct was not so bad as the world believes; therefore we consider the Senator front Nevada to be incorrect in his remark. A Supplement of the Overland China Mail contains the account of the inquiry held at Yokohama on Captain EYRE. The Court arrives at a different opinion to the Navy Department at Washington, holding that the Bom bay was not i❑ fault. It contrasts the evidence of Captain EYIIE and Mr. YATES, the officer in charge of the deck of the Oneida at the time of the colli- sion, pronouncing them to be utterly irreconcilable. Of course Loth parties will do their best to place themselves in the right ; but however much the handling of the ships, which ended in the catas- trophe, may interest nautical men, and affect the character as s3amen of the officers concerned, it must remain a matter of comparative indifference to the public. The real point is, how Captain EYRE acted after the collision ; and it is evident that the Court of Inquiry, after long deliberation and careful consideration, find that he acted with a want both of judgment and humanity. Still his conduct was by no means so bad as the public has hitherto been led to believe. We must imagine a dark starlight night, the Oneida, under steam and sail, running rapidly along, with a favourable wind. The Bombay steaming up against the breeze, of course without sail, and the lights of the two ves sels quickly nearing►. Fearing a collision the com mander of the Bombay stops his engines, and brings the head of his ship round to the right, but the officer of the Oneida, in charge of the deck, cannot st ip the corvette, Es she is running under a pressure of canvas. He brings his ship round to the left, there'ore the two vessels become so placed that the stem of the Bombay strikes the qu irter of the Oneida, cutting out her stern, killing the men at the wheel, sweeping away all the primers, rocke's, and the means at hand of the U. S. corvette for waling signals of distress, while she shoots on, still running with the win 1, away into darkness, and nothing more of her is seen by the Bombay, while all that was licard of her was a shout from her forccas•le of " Steamer, ahoy !" Then comes the stru e , gl in the Oneida to make the &Inger of the crew known. No primers are at hand, all being carried away with the stern, as well as the rockets and blue-lights. A starboard guu had to be loaded, for it appears that the charges had been drawn, and the he knew that his vessel was not in jeopardy. He only waited for these few minutes for any signal of distress from the Oneida, which he was aware the Bombay had seriously injured ; but it is a remarkable fact that he gave no directions for a look-out to be kept for those signals. Had he done so, the flash of the Oneida's guns must have been seen though the report was not heard. It appears that rockets or blue-lights were the sig nals he expected, and not seeing them he concluded that the damagewas less serious than he had judged, so he steamed on, leaving the Oneida to her fate. It is evident from the questions he put to the pilot that in his opinion the Oneida had been seriously injured; and as his own vessel had not been so in jured, it was clearly his duty, without a moment's he sitation of any sort,',to bring the Bombay round and follow in the track of the sinking vessel; for on the one hand there was nothing to lose, while on the other, the lives of a ship's crew being in jeopardy, there was everything to gain ; and with such an alternative, it is almost incredible how any man could have acted Captain EYRE'S part. Let him imagine the case reversed, that the Oneida had cut ont the Bombay's stern and left her to sink and him to drown while she pursued her homeward way re joicing. If he has any imagination, and can realize what his own feelings would be under such circum stance s, he will be able to arrive at the reason for the judgment of the world on his own conduct. Of all men, those who ought to be most alive to every peril, and swift to rescue their fellow-creatures, are seamen ; and whenever such a case as that of the Bombay is told, the world will throw the burden of proof, that he was not culpable, on the chief officer concerned.--A nglo- American Times. THE FLOOD-TIME AND ITS DANGERS, (From Bowles Brothers and Co.'s Weekly Circular, April 8.) The transition of our Government Securities, noted in our last, from the hands of weak and specu lative holders, to the portfolio of investment, still continues, and the slight depression, from the highest point, in the face of such heavy realizations, proves how strong the new demand is to meet so excessive a supply. From all parts of Europe we hear of these sales, and of the eagerness manifeste I by the sellers to place their money in some Ameri can value, of longer term and better rate, especi ally in view of the imminent conversion of the pre sent Five-Twenty United States Bonds, into long Four per Cents. IVhile we are gratified at the confidence in our country which this indicates, we foresee and deem it our duty to forewarn the pa bile of the danger which may thence ensue. The introduction of American Secuti ies in Europe has encoun'ere l and is overcoming the same opposi tion which met the birth, and has desperattly fought the development of the very principles of popular Government, upon which all American values era based. Guaranteed by the many, rather than by the few, they pre-eminently deserve the name of securities, for such they are, and not irredeemable debts. The wealth and influence of many great interests to which they are fundamentally opposite, or with which they compete, have vainly con'ributed to bar their way; but the steady westward current of life, silent and sure, has washed away all its dams, and re moved other obstacles, and the moment is at hand when its calmer and deeper course will be all the more irresistible. American Securities are plainly on the eve of a flood of appreciative popularity, which will float any good obligation, and which will ensure, if they are properly presented, the success of the New Four per Cents., which Secretary Boutwell will be' authorised to place at par ; in currency, when Congress shall surmount its fallacious objections to a more thorough cosmo politan financial policy, and make the interest payable everywhere at capital centres, rather than at fixed points within the State limits. Let them emit the national expenses, but not the intern tional circulation. The first is prudent and effect tive ; the last itnpot lit and obstructive. This deep current of success will also reach and float along with it many of the worthless schemes pre viously stranded or unsuccessfully launched. Not a day passes that enquiries are not rife already as to some Bond, or Stock, which the public has never before heard of. And yet it is probable that many of these at le Ist doubtful schemes will find takers, and then, at some near day, we shall have them exposed in the money articles of leading foreign kiurna's as evidences of the instability of American values ! They will merely show the ignorance or carelessness of their dupes. The experience of the past few years' steady rise i❑ our Government Binds naturally tempts the pub lic, but it should remember that the Bands of a safe Government are not every day to be found at a depreciated point, and that they furnish no direct criterion for other values. People will do well to keep their Government Bonds, or, if they wish to invest in other American Securities, of which there are many, unimpeachable in character and advantageous in price, they should look well to the source whence they come. There are houses in Europe whose tried character, greater means and control of information, and conspicuous posi tio.), guarantee the safety and soundness of their advice. In new enterprises such plats are indis pensable. They may err, as they often have, but always on the s -de side. FUNERAL OF CAPTAIN WILLIAMS.—The Japan !fail of February 16 describes the funeral of Captain Wil iams, of the Oneida: —"At three o'clock ou Tuesday afternoon the minute guns of the Idaho announced that the remains of Captain Williams were on their way to the French Hatoba, whence the procession was to start, and where the Foreign Ministers, a large body of naval and military officers, the crews of the men of war in harbour, and the majority of the residents of Yokohama were as sembled. The procession was solemn and imposing, and moved slowly forward to Christ Church, the bands of the Ocean and the 10th Regiment playing the Dead March' in Saul. And no one whose sensibilities are alive to the sublime , implicity of that wonderful strain, so mournful at its opening, so jubilant at its close, instinct with grief, yet inspired by triumphant hope--a musical epitome of that great chapter in the Burial service which was subsequently read—could have failed in strong emo tions at a scene so calculated to excite them. As the body was carried into the church the Rev. W. Smith, chaplain of H.M.S. Ocean, read the appointed sentences, which open the the finest and most deeply moving of our Church services, and in a few minutes every seat and all standing room in the building were occupied. The uniforms of the navies of Great Britain and America were predominant, the rennet of our line contrasted with the dark green of the Russian dress, nor were the naval and mili tary dresses of the French wanting. The British Ad mind, Sir Henry Kellett, dec.wated with the Star and Riband of a Knight Commander of the Bath, and recognized by some who knew him in earlier days as an active Commander on the China station, was present, as were the English, French, Prussian, and American Minis ters. The service was impre:sively read by the Rev. W. Smida, assisted by the llev. B. Bailey, and in duo time and order the procession moved to the Cemetery. There, amid many of the members of a profession in which he had served with distinction, and in the annals of which the loss of his ship will form one of the saddest pages, over looking the Bay he recently left under circumstances so fairandpromising,th e l as t h onours were pa id t o th e remains Captain of Capt_..— 9i the United States'steamer On e ida." guns were not ready as reported, and still the vessel was driving along before the wind, so that she had run some miles from the spot, before the gun was charged and fired. Four times that gun was dis charged, but not till ten to fifteen minutes after the collision, and when the vessel was sinking, which tended to smother the sound. Thus it happened that the vessels were separated by some miles, that the Bombay was right away to windward, and that the sound of the guns had been d, adened ere the sig nals could be made, and that they were never heard on board the mail steamer. To add to the chapter of accidents which thus suddenly befell the unfortu nate Oneida, she had lost some of her boats, and the captain had aiplied in vain to have them re placed. Such was the desperate pc.sition to which the U.S. man-of-war was in a moment reduced ; and it is melancholy to read among a recent list of the promotions sanctioned by the Senate, the names of six of her unfortunate officers whom the Senators knew were then lying dead under the waves which wash the shores of Japan. But what did the Bombay do? is the question :that concerns Captain EYRE chiefly, British seamen greatly, and the world gene rally. He remained with his engines stopped for at most, five minutes, though his vessel was built in compartments, but one of which was making water fast. Had he been in danger he could have run on the Saratoga Spit, about six miles distant ; but MONETARY Y REPORTS - - ESTERD AY.

GREAT STORM AT BUENOS AYRES.—A storm which took place at Buenos Ayres, capital of the Argen tine Republic, on March 9th, was of extraordinary seve rity. A local paper says :—" People in Europe will read with amazement of men and horses drowned in the streets of Buenos Ayres, of parlour floors giving way and falling into water c l ose t s , o f sailors being washed ashore on planks, or their corpses being collected on the beach. They will also charge us with criminal neglect in having no port or harbour to shelter the shipping. while steamers, schooners, and whaleboats, to the num ber of fifty and upwards, are washed ashore near the gas house. The rainfall is described as having been the most dreadful ever known ,• the algibes were soon filled, and then the water flooded all the lower rooms of the houses, in some places to the height of three feet. We hear of • floors having given away in many houses, and in one case the occupants of a room narrowly escaped falling into an old well or water closet under the floor. The houses near the brewery in Calle Bolivar were uncle!. water to a height of three feet, and i n th ose streets adjacent to the Tercero the inhabitants were all but drowned.. The Plaza Parque was a navigable lake, and the Cafe del Parque was inundated. "Up to the present it seems the loss of life in the city and port cannot be less than twenty per sons, and the damage to property and merchandise may be estimated at £lOO,OOO to £130,000 sterling." The de , -; struction of shipping was immense.
