Miscellaneous Foreizn News. (From Correspondents of the Anglo-American Times.) PARIS, August 29. I'll put a girdle round about the earth in forty minu SPEARE.tes. SHAK Had friend Puck lived in the present day his boast would have been rendered comparatively easy of execution by a simple visit to the Universal Exposition, where he would have found all the countries of the earth brought together to hi 3 hand, as in like manner the seven-leagued boots, which another friend of our early years found so efficacious, would be now comparatively valueless. I commence my resume this week with a somewhat hazardous undertaking, viz.—by taking the reader out from under the shelter and shadow of the American flag where I left him last week, and that, too, on one of the very hottest days I have yet experienced at Paris, the domes of the Egyptian and Turkish kiosks glowing in the sun's rays like cover ings of molten lava, and the universal locomotion • going on on every side giving one the vertigo. A little way down a division of the dragoons of the guard are bathing their horses in the Seine, and it is curious to behold the discipline preserved alike by the human automaton as well as by the quadrupeds, as drawn up in square they deploy into line, and wind round the Abrevoir, a watering-place, falling again into square or column as they issue from the water, whilst moored in mid-stream lies an English merchant schooner, with the inscription Old English Ale painted on the side of the cool looking awning stretched out between decks, but she lies out in the middle of the river with no soul apparently moving on board, so that the succes4 of any attempt on the aforesaid ale ap pears more than problematical. But I must not linger—pass we along the enceinte, encountering the exquisitely-fitted pavilion of the Emperor, around which the motley throng are permitted to pass with full power of peeping in at the windows, the Kiosks of the Bible Society, where those un- wearied labourers in the vineyard are distributing gratuitously in every known language the Word in little miniature books. I got myself a diamond edition of St. Luke's Gospel in French, as I was curious to see the character of the work distributed, which I shall take care to preserve as one of the most pleasing souvenirs of the Exposition. The distributors themselves were worthy of remark, the one especially who handed me the little cadeau in question, dressed entirely in black, and under the middle height. Though wiry, one could trace easily in the sharp, attenuated face, and quick, restless dark eye, the features of one performing a duty which was at the same time a passion and enthu siasm—one of such men as always do their work well, from the days of the Puritans of old even down to our time. Passing the plain and unassuming Kiosk of the Cross we come upon the gorgeous palace of the Crescent, belonging to his Highness the Bey of Tuuis, and a fac-simile, it is said, of the original so far away. Next comes a gigantic erec tion, purporting to be an ancient Mexican Temple of sacrifice, guarded by three slender-looking greasers in full Mexican costume, two clad in the rich velvet jacket and calzoneros, or short full trousers and legging of velvet, ornamented with myriads of shining buttons ; the third wearing the costume in buff leather of a vaguero, who demand, however, the sum of 25 centimes for entrance. We pass on, for the sight of a stone of sacrifice merely, is not worth 25 centimes, and the remembrance of the recent cold-blooded one with which all Europe rings, induces us to pass the treacherous -looking brigand with disgust, though not without casting one glance of commiseration at the wretched-looking little army tent, which an inscription informs the passer-by to have been the refuge of the unfortunate Empress Charlotte, amidst the ruins of Xochitlan, ou the night of the memorable sth of February. But the heat is intolerable. Let us turn this angle of shrubbery, where a ruined tower, spouting forth sheets of water from the moss enveloped roots embedded in its green base, gives one a picture of some similar castellated ruin in Germany, a sketch which Bulwer might introduce with effect in the " Pilgrims of the Rhine," the whole being completed by a little miniature lake, which receives the various streams of water, and conveys them underground to another part of the park, and reach that long, low, neatly-thatched building, with wings and dependencies to match. That is one of the most complete, as well as the most interesting of the various buildings which fill up in much ad mired confusion the interior of the park. That is a zuivelbcerderig (I am thankful that I have only to write the word), or model of a Dutch dairy farm sent over by the Agricultural Society of Holland. It was intended that the requisite complement of cows should accompany the building, but in conse quence of the bovine peste, which was then prevalent, their importation was interdicted by the French Government. This proves a sad loss to the visitor, who would otherwise have had an opportunity of seeing the farm house in full activity, whereas at present— No one now Dwells in tha Halls of Ivor. The next cow house, with its various appendages for milking and drainage, even down to the minute arrangement of a cord fastened by each rack to tie up the hind leg of any refractory milky wether is alas empty, whilst in the dairy itself the quaintly dressed brazen milk-canner, burnished to the hue of gold ; the new buckets, hooped with bright copper ; the cheese presses ; the various apparatus too numerous to mention, even down to the huge, old-fashioned Dutch dishes of blue delf, were on the chimney piece, are all inactive, and the visitor may only guess at the scene that would have presented itself had the whole been in full operation, when it would have required no great additional stretch of the imagination to have figured the massive table, covered with a snow white cloth, and the various rural delicacies of eggs, butter, ham, bacono, dough-nuts, &c., &c., which a Dutch pastoral menage affords. Mynheer Wyde breeken, himself smoking his huge pipe in a corner, and dictating his orders to the various stalwart boers in his employ ; his good-looking Fronw, adorned with her immense gold earrings, here, there, and everywhere, keeping the maids in order ; and, in short, producing in its full perfection that managing industry of which one at present only sees the implements. There is nothing remarkable in the summer parlour, but in the winter one the bedplaces arc built in the wall, with sliding wooden shutters, and resemble the berths on shipboard. In all points, however, the .'Metairie hollandaise is most complete and perfect, and is an exhibition a visit to which will well reward the voyageur. But we have come a long way to-day. We have brought our worthy reader from America to Mexico, from Mexico to Tunis, and thence to Holland, where we will leave him for the present, beneath the shadow of the thatched Dutch roof, to recruit his energies after the fatigues of his excursion. Considering the immense number of persons of all countries finding their way in Paris without possessing the slightest knowledge whatever either of the French language or customs, it is a wonder to me that instances of imposture are not of far more frequent occurrence, and nothing but the ex traordinary activity of the police and detectives averts this. I happened myself to be passing a few days since through the Rue St. Lazare, when, find ing myself in need of some refreshment, I entered the first restaurant at hand. Scarcely had I com menced my repast when my attention was at tracted by the singular conduct of a respect able-looking elderly gentleman, having the ap pearance of a retired tradesman, or captain of a merchant vessel, who, with his wife, was seated at the next table, and who was en deavouring to convey by signs and gesti culations the most emphatic his wants to the attendant garcon, the latter not only gesticulating as furiously, but raising his voice in the manner one would address a deaf person, and evidently drawing out his customer for the amusement of the other guests. My friend had succeeded in obtaining a ragout, a salad, and some tea, and there was an addi tional requireme n t w hi c h it was utterly beyond his power to make the waiter comprehend. At this point I interfered, offering my services as interpreter, which were gladly accepted, when I found my new friend was an American, that the article he required was milk, of which only he drank, but which he had been hitherto unable to procure owing to his entire ignorance of the French language. He had been three weeks in Paris, having seen little or nothing, would I kindly give him the French for milk and dairy ; could I recommend him an agent of change.; madame would be obliged by informing her the name of the street in which Napoleon lived, &c., &c. I gratified him at once by writing down the various information in his pocket-book, but, as I found his continued questions likely to occupy more time than I could conveniently spare, I " levanted," leaving him as a general panacea for all his ills and wants the address of the Franco in Paris, and pondering as I went, upon the sententious remark of Mr. Wel ler, in reference to the charity-boy and the alphabet, Was it worth while to come so far, and go through so much, to so little advantage. PARIS, Aug. 29. The present fashions are all packed in large arches hermetically locked by nimble dressmakers' fingers, and are now being safely conveyed to the seaside chateaux or the most fashionable watering places. Not one glimpse of the treasures thus de spatched is to be obtained in Paris by any but the initiated—the glories of attire are not to strike friends " all of a heap" until they expand either at the brilliantly illuminated Casino or by the green glittering waves under moonlight. The only fact positively known is, that our supreme elegantes have voted for the abolition of Empire styles in favour of Eastern splendour, and that those who possess more of the piquant beauty attributed to Madame de Pompadour than of the Hebrew type, contend for Louis XV. and the style adopted by his favourites. We are, therefore, in a period of transition, the top of our heads is all chignon that is imperial, the end of our attire is all sweeping, a neutral conclusion. This is a very unsatisfactory state to ladies who wish to know positively what they are to wear, and who look to me for reliable infor mation. I will therefore give those items which will be useful all this autumn and next winter, re serving those uncertain attempts for a later com munication. In the first place, ladies will continue to show their feet by day and their necks by night, each thus coming in for a full share of admiration in turn. Let no one believe in bonnets called cale'ches by our ancestors until they are universally adopted. I think our wreaths and veils, answering the purpose of bonnets, will prevail against what in English is called the coal-scuttle shape. A wreath can cer tainly not be called warm head gear, but there are ways and means of turning leaves so as to make them comfortable, a fact I noticed yesterday at the Champ de Mars, where a painted old lady, the image of Jezabel, wore her's bound round her forehead. Princess Mathilde and the Queen of Portugal have purchased several of the newest chine silks. These chines are to be worn until winter, when bro cades will be all in full vogue. A white ground with chine wall-flowers or nasturiums creeping up the centre of each width, or a pyramid of large carna tions decreasing in size towards the waist, on a grey ground, are the most elegant of the kind. Applications on silk of velvet flowers will be the richest toilette for winter receptions. heart's-ease, for instance, in the natural tints on green, sheaves of variegated velvet on black, fuschias on brown, black velvet moss roses on black poult, and others no less costly. Meanwhile, Sultanes made with Marie Antoinette, fichus instead of mantles, co loured silks under muslins, striped Chamberys, light goat's hair, much trimmed with coloured cross cuts or rouleaux of satin, are the order of the day. Our new sashes are now gathered in as plaited at the lower ends and terminated by a bow. I can not call it graceful, but it is the novel idea. Natnral flowers are laid flat round loose muslin, alpaca, or w bite Sultane jackets, the same ornaments in the hair, ears, and on the neck. Violets or vine are much worn thus. Jet will prevail -a long time yet, but the higher kind of trimming will be rich gimp and lace. Jet is getting too common for either vel vet or satin. Browns, nut, maize, and toad colour are the favourite shades, and the orna ments most envied are opals. A prevailing mania has given a story connected with it. Opal have their tale, or rather, if the new fashionable theory is to be credited, they are tell-tales, for tune-tellers, or omens themselves. They are sup posed to possess a wonderful influence, whether magnetic, electric, or mesmeric, is not explained ; but is something mysterious, ending in ic, which, of course, women do not understand. This new discovery was made a few weeks ago, a little before Madame Frigard's trial, when ladies were so much absorbed by the Fontainebleau murder, so assi duous at the sittings of the Court, that the strange incident was not commented on more than a month. The facts are as follows :—A Russian princess had been presented with a set of opals by a gentle- dear absent one, a fervent admirer, and a m an consequently. He suddenly c eased to be a regular correspondent, and on one melancholy morn the opals were drawn from their box for private contemplation. Oh, anguish t the gems were colour less—they had no more brilliancy in them than fishes' eyes, and were just as expressive of tender feeling. A few hours later a letter was delivered from the admirer :he was dangerously ill. " The opals !" exclaimed the princess, and again consulted them ; they were fainter still than before, and con tinued to whiten every hour. In the evening a second letter announced that the beloved was dead, and one glance at the opals before a long swoon showed all the opals fallen into calcinated ashes. From that day no one will disbelieve that pearls and opals can die as well as turquoises, that they catch cold, and even shrink into dust if touched by vinegar or acid, or damp of any description. All gems are being exchanged for opals, and thus the feelings of the absent will soon be known as easily as the time of day. A correspondent of the New York Tribune tells tho story of tho recent disaster on the Union Pacific Rail road, six miles from Plum Creek station, where the Indians succeeded in throwing a train from the line, and murder ing seven of the employes. Conductor Kinney saw the dark forms rising from the ground, and conjectured that the accident was the work of Indians. Another train was but 10 minutes behind, so, securing a red flag, he ran with all speed to meet the train, whose reflector shone in the dark like a star above the horizon. The Indians pursued, but Kinney succeeded in placing himself in front of the rushing train, so that the light fell full on him and his flag, which the engineers seeing, whistled do ,vn breaks, and, after a short consultation, returned at full speed to Plum Creek. As they left they saw the Indians dancing around the cars in flames, and beard their voices as they chanted the war saga of the tribe. If you have a screw rusted into wood, or a nut or bolt that will not readily turn, pour ou a little kerosene and let it remain. In a little while it will penetrate the interstices, so that the screw may bo easily started.— Builder. The conversion of bone dust, ivory filings, &c., into solid ivory is a new business soon to be started at Florence, Western Massachusetts. Tho process by which the change is made is the invention of the Baldwin Brothers of that place. The old Pennsylvania Bank building at Phila delphia is to be removed piecemeal to Portland. The marble has been marked, lettered and numbered, stone by stone, and will reappear at the latter city as a custom house. The Superintendent of Education in the Southern States estimates that 25,000 nogroes have learned to read and write in the last two years. Mr. John Lusk, of the Pacific Fruit Market of San Francisco, has now under cultivation in Oakland a lot of 90 acres, all in raspberries. The average yield will be about tons to the acre, or 150 tons for the entire ranch. This, at 15 ceuts a pound, the usual wholesale price, would amount to the very comfortable sum of $45,000. As many as 180 Chinamen are sometimes engaged in picking at one time. Every day's surplus is saved, and converted into wine. The steamer Wilson Small came into collision with a vessel in Chesapeake Bay, and sank with three of her passengers. Fires during the week, ending August 17, destroyed the conference seminary at Charlottesville, New York.—loss, $30,000 ; George Stratford and Co.'s Oakum Factory at Jersey City—loss, $35,000 ; Krauss and Co.'s planing mill at Cleveland, Ohio—loss, $15,000 ; about 40 buildings in the business portion of Benecia, California; and a large number of houses, stores, &c., at Quebec, Canada—loss not stated. A hard-fought battle between the Indiana and the whites occurred near Fort Phil iiearney, August 2. Early in the morning an ox train of thirty waggons, guarded by fifty citizens and as many soldiers, under the command of Major Powell and Lieut. Jump, left the fort for the purpose of gathering fuel. Wail° thus engaged, within five miles of the fort, a band of savages, supposed to number at least 250, rode up and immediately made an attack. The whites made a desperate resistance, but the Indians, after killing Lieut. Jump and others, and wound ing two privates, succeeded in stampeding the cattle from the train corral. The whites then took position behind a breastwork formed of waggons, boxes, ox yokes, &c., and the savages encircled them with wild yells, contin uing the fight with fiendish desperation. The whites fought the Indians for three hours, killing and wounding a great many, who were immediately carried off the field by their comrades. The battle continued with unabated vigour until Major Smith, with two com panies of United States regulars and two howitzers came to the rescue from Fort Phil Kearney, when the Red Men retreated, going north-east, leaving five dead bodies on the field. Major Powell reports the total loss of the savages at sixty killed outright, and a large number wounded. The suspension bridge to connect New York with Brooklyn has been commenced. Its total length is to be 5,862 feet., and it will stretch from the City Hall Park to the intersection of Fulton and Sands Streets, in Brooklyn. The width for the first five hundred feet on either side will be one hundred feet, and the middle section of the bridge will have a uniform width of ninety feet. It is to have two roadways, each fifteen feet wide, for carriages and carts ; two additional roadways, each thirty feet in width, for railway trains, and an elevated promenade for foot passengers. Trains of cars, drawn by a stationary engine at the end of the line, will cross the bridge at in tervals of every five minutes, and one thousand passengers will find room in each train. The estimated cost of this great work is six millions of dollars, and it is to be com pleted in five or six years. On the 16th the famous yacht Henrietta, victor in the recent ocean race to the Isle of Wight, was sold by Mr. James Gordon Bennett, jun., for the sum of $50,000. It is understood that her new owners have not purchased her for private use, hut hope to make a large speculative profit from the celebrity of her maritime name and deeds. AMERICAN DESERTERS IN MALTA.—We are sorry to hear that American ships of war coming into this har bour are much exposed to desertions from the crew, and that the American authorities here haven° power to arrest them. This is evidently a drawback to American ships of war visiting this port, where much good feeling exists between the two countries, and where the expenditure would cer tainly be of some importance to the people, especially in times like these of drought and scarcity. When deser tions from the crews of ships of war take place in large commercial ports there is never any difficulty in filling the vacancies; but here, in this small place, such desertions are a serious loss, there being no sailors to ship in their place. It appears to us if an international treaty existed between Great Britain and the United States tho evil would be remedied, and any soroness arising from these . occurrences would be altogether prevented.—Malta Tunes. The " easy divorce " business is being brought every day nearer and nearer perfection in the West. In Cincinnati, the other day, a man got a divorce without his wife's knowledge, upon a sim p le statement in his petition that she represented herself to be thirty-two years of age at the time of her mar ria g e, when she was in reality over ,aancdontlhnolonneesecossladry." leNgoalpnaepteierse forty,were up w e n a s h e was published in a "Price Current," or other paper of that class which no woman ever sees. Her character, too, was faultless, and she had a child fourteen months old, and the sole apparent motive of the husband was a desire to marry another woman. In this case the attorney, in person, supplied whatever proof was needed to make out the case, and appears to belong to a class of "divorce lawyers," who absolutely live by perjury and fraud. We have not as yet begun to see the effect on society of our present divorce laws, or of the moral condition of the legal profession in some of our large cities ; but if something be not speedily done by way of reform, the next generation will both see them and feel them. It may not be expedient to make men live with women they do not like, but no society can with impunity suffer men to change their wives as often as they please, and leave their children unprovided for in the arms of those whom they abandon. Any community which, by its legislation, offers scoundrels facilities of this kind for their scoundrelism, deserves to suffer, and all friends of pure manners have the consolation of knowing that it will suffer. No good breed of men or women ever yet grew up in a country in which marriage was lightly dissolved. Men who shine in either war or pzaco have to be produced in homes, and homes rapidly disappear in regions where husbands can get rid of their wives by paying fifty dollars to a knavish attorney. First the scamps do it, and then the honest men, being used to seeing it done by the scamps, lose their horror of it, and laugh over it, and finally they do it themselves, and the public ceases to look on it as a wrong, and then the chil dren grow up to regard marriage as a simple mode of gratifying a temporary passion, and their mothers as simply the instruments of their physical procreation, or-- ,o speak plainly—their dams.— The Nation. The American Watch Company, of Waltham, losed their shops the week before last for a month's vacation. Bierstadt's great painting, the Domes of the Yo Semite, which has been exhibited at Boston, has been visited and admired by 3,000 people. It will soon be re moved to the gallery of its owner, Le Grand Lockwood, Norwalk, the New York banker. General Grant being pretty universally conceded the Presidency, two things are settled : First, that the Vice-President must be taken from civil life; and, second, that some son of the State of New York is to be the man. We further hear it said, upon pretty good authority, that an understanding has been arrived at between the friends of Governor Fenton and ex-Governor Morgan, by which the latter will be made Vice-President—Governor Fenton succeeding to Morgan's place in the Senate. Senator Roscoe Conkling is said to be strongly in favour of Morgan for the Vice-Presidency, and to have been active in bringing about this harmonious result. Funny, wouldn't it bo, if the two candidates for the Vice-Presidency should be taken from New York City ? Mayor John T. Hoffman on the Democratic side, and Eiwin D. Morgan as the Republican.—New York Citizen. The arrivals and departures by sea from San Francisco for the six months ending July Ist wore as follows :—Arrived, 16,488 ; departed, B,3oo—showing an increase of 8,188 ; nearly one-half of the arrivals being a permanent addition to the population. Of this increase about 2,000 were from China. Immigration from the United States into the West Indies continues to occupy attention. A case of poisoning occurred in Martin township, M`Lean county, Illinois, on Friday, the 9th instant, re sulting in the death of three children of Mr. Hurt, and probably the death of four other children who were living at the last accounts. Suspicion rests upon a married daughter of Mr. Hurt and the brother of her husband, who are under arrest. Mr. Paul F. Nicholson, of the World, is about to start a new programme journal, called the Season. The first number will appear in about a week. The Round Table gives the following items : "Mame.

We think the publishers right in their notice to the public contained in this number, that they will issue their maga zine henceforth on the 16th instead of at the end of each month, when the country is deluged by the simultaneous of mee v ems ., pu bli ca tion of all the mon thlies.

A correspondent of the New York, Times has col lected some curious extracts from early numbers of the New York Gazette, the first newspaper over published in that city. It began its career on Monday, October 16, 1723, a weekly paper, presenting on one side of the title a rude cut representing the city arras, and on the other a picture of a postboy on horseback. The paper, though dingy, and the print, though coarse, are described as good for the time. It was printed and published by William Bradford, an English Quaker, wh in ratemigd to the New World in 1682 , and who was appoted oyal printer" for New York in 1693. One of the early numbers of his paper shows us Irish emigration to New York nearly a century and a half ago, for the following advertisement may bo seen in the Gazette of Midsummer -day in the year 1728 :—" On Wednesday last arrived here the ship George John, Anthony Adamson commander, from Ireland, who has on board several Irishmen, women, and boys, servants, among whom there are several tradesmen, as carpenters, weavers, tailors, blacksmiths, &c. Whoever inclines to pur chase the times of any of them may apply to the captain on board of said ship, or to Samuel Moore, supercargo, at Mr. John Danks', at the sign of the Jamaica Pilot, upon THE SUN. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING AVGISST 31, 1867, the dock. N.B. They will take either flour or wheat as pay." Tho two following paragraphs tell of peril in tra velling by sea and by land in those days :—" Philadelphia, March 13, 1726.—A sloop arrived here on Sunday last from Rhode Island, who saw the pirate Snow in a calm off Block Island, at a great distance, who sent out their boat full of hands, with a black flag. 'They came within pistol shot of the sloop, but the sloop bringing some quarter-deck guns to fire upon, they made off again." London, May 14, 1726.—The stage coaches near Bath were stopped last Thursday by one highwayman, who took what little money they gave him, which was about £lO. He said it was too little, but he put it up, saying that ho had a wife and five children, and thought it better to collect charity for them than to lie in prison for debt." Bradford's paper was chiefly filled with news brought over by the English packets, and rather heavy moral essays. We take two or throe specimens of the former class: —" Lou don, March 18, 1727. --Yesterday morning died, aged 85, Sir Isaac Newton, Kt.. Master of his Majesty's Mint at the Tower, to which place is annexed a salary of £5OO per annum, and President of the Royal Society." " London, November 10, 1722 9 . — (Fashion Item.) —They write from Tunbridge Wells that ladies have of late ap peared on the walls with shoulder-knots, a fashion led up by a certain great duchess." " London, November 2, 1727, —Yesterday morning between 70 and 80 felons wore brought from Nawgate to go on board one of the merchant ships, in order to be transported to America." Bradford was a Leicestershire man. He was taught his profession in the printing-office of Andrew Sowle, in Loudon. Ho closed a long and active life in 1752, in his 90th year. On the morning of the day of his deathhe walked over a great part of New York. His Gazette continued to be issued under his direction until 1742, and on its then expiring there rose from its ashes the New York Gazette and Weekly Post Boy, which lived until the revolution, under the ma nagement of Parker, a former apprentice of Bradford's. Right Rev. Dr. Young was consecrated Bishop of Florida, at Now York, on Thursday, the 15th instant Bishop Hopkins of Vermont officiating. The ceremony was performed at Trinity Church, where Bishop Williams of Louisiana preached a sermon appropriate to the occa sion.

The Quaker City,, with 70 American excursionists, arrived at Odessa on the 22d inst., and proceeded on the 24th to the Crimea. Lady Franklin took passage from Plymouth to Cherbourg in the United States steam frigate Minnesota, Commodore Older. It is expected that about 80 bishops will be pre sent at the Pan-Anglican synod which is to be held at Lambeth in September.

Gold continues about 140, the fluctuations being generally over that figure, a...(1 yesterday the closing price was 140 i. The bulls are confident of a rise, as they con sider they may be able to extract some capital from the Cabinet differences before they are arranged. The Government sells about $500,000 a day. The export of specie has greatly fallen off, the steamers on Saturday last taking $360,847, and on Wednesday under $200,000. Exchange on London continues at 1091 to 110 in gold for 60 days. There has been more activity in the Money Market during the past week. This is to be expected to satisfy the demand for the harvest, and it is surprising, considering former experience, that the movement should be so slight. Indeed, people do not now look for any stringency, and there is more prospect. of a difficulty in investing money than of obtaining to those who have good securities. The best commercial paper is readily discounted at 6 per cent., and call loans on Governments are done at 4. People hold back for invest- ment, in hopes of higher rates. Even Government Secu rities would at the present figure yield a better return. This miscelleanous Stock Market is heavy, for want of business; scarcely anything doing. Prices, however, have rather tended upwards, and generally a rise is looked for. As might confidently have been predicted the railway earnings show a largo rise to the beginning of August ; the passenger traffic, while all are on the road, must neces sarily increase the receipts, and no doubt the month will give gratifying returns. There is, however, a decrease in the receipts of the Erie, though the stock sells at 71 to 72 and is in demand. Express Stocks are well sustained. Business and trade is healthy, though still inactive, with hopes of improvement. The dry goods market is better, though no large purchases are made or can be expected at his season. The quality of the wheat harvest is univer sally good and the quantity large, and the receipts at Chicago and other large entrepots considerable. Cotton is coming in, and the price declining at New Orleans. Altogether the long inactivity has had the effect of placing trade on a sounder basis; and if Mr. M'Culloch would re sume his relemption of four millions of the currency monthly, as authorised by Congress, we might fairly ex pect soon to get back to a more healthy state. As the Secretary of the Treasury seems, from the opinions he has expressed, to hold this opinion, I cannot understand why ho does not now act on it. The Treasury has extended, by a special order from the Secretary last Tuesday, the period for the exchange of the 7-30's and 5-20's for a month. After that time interest on the 7-30's will cease, and on the exchange being effected the holders will have to pay interest on the 5 20's at the rate of 6 per cent. The rate of exchange proceeds at about a million a day.

TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE ANGLO-AMERICAN TIMES. SIR, —Before parting company with Benjamin Lundy, I beg leave to send you the following re markable dream. It was received from his lips by the friend who wrote it—a co-worker with Lundy in the anti-slavery reform. Ordinarily a dream is but a dream, but some dreams have been remark able, and have led to discoveries in art, or have brought concealed crimes to light. Pharoah's dream was the turning point in the fate of a nation, and that of Nebuchadnezzar made known the future rise and fall of nations. In the dream of Lundy may be traced his nervous temperament, mental character, hopes, fears, and experience as an Anti slavery Reformer, and his appreciation of the moral law of retribution which governs the universe. Possibly the divinity in man under certain phy sical, mental, and moral conditions might so have its latent powers developed as to be capable of pre monishing him of coming events. But whether from this, or from some other cause, certain it is that Lundy's dream was an epitome of events then belonging to the future of American history. For instance the people appearing to be without a head and leader was verified when Buchanan was President; and the coming forward of one embody ing the anti-slavery spirit of John Quincy Adams w as illustrated in the person of Abraham Lincoln. 'The former declared in Congress that in time of war the President could emancipate the slaves ; and thirty years afterwards the latter in time of war proclaimed emancipation.—Yours very truly, EDWARD MATHEWS. Bristol, Aug. 19, 1867. A REMARKABLE DREAM OF BENJAMIN LUNDY. Benjamin Lundy has been described in the letter of the Rev. Edward Mathews as the Pioneer of the Anti-Slavery Reform in the United States. Justice requires that he should be better known by this title. There were in America at two different periods two classes of Anti-slavery leaders, and Lundy being a co-worker with one, and the father of the other, was the connecting link between them. The first class existed at the time of the separation of England from America, and their labours secured the suppression of the African slave trade and the abolition of slavery in the Northern States. The second class formed the American Anti-Slavery Society, and their labours secured the proclamation of the emancipation of the slaves by President Lin coln. It is known that the " Society of Friends," familiarly called Quakers, of which Mr. Lundy was a member, hold peculiar sentiments in regard to the influence of the holy Spirit on the human mind. They believe that under the impulsive direction of the Spirit they are guided in their religious labours, and moved and instanstaneously qualified to speak in their religious assemblies. In harmony with this belief they regard the Spirit as operating upon their powers of perceptioa, and some of the Friends have had visions which they have related as a part of their religious experience. From 1831 to 1838 Lundy was deeply interested in that phase of the anti-slavery movement which related to Texas. Its climate, the quality and cheapness of the laud, and its contiguity to the Slave States, led him to regard it as a most suitable territory on which to plant colonies of free coloured people and freedmen from the United States; and as capable not only of becoming an asylum and a land of refuge for the oppressed, but also of fur nishing a striking example of the benefits of free dom, and of the fitness of the coloured people to enjoy it, thus presenting an inducement to the American nation to act upon the high principles of humanity and justice in emancipating the slaves. The slaveholders, however, in arranging their plans to extend and perpetuate slavery, had fully considered the Texas question. They feared that Texas might become on the South what Canada already was on the North, a place where refugee slaves could dwell safely; hence they determined to extend slavery over it, and annex it to the United States, thus greatly increasing their power. Jack son, who was their President, offered Mexico five millions of dollars for Texas. As this offer was refused, the slaveholders determined to obtain it by duplicity and force. These plots were counter plots against Lundy and his philanthropic • pur , poses. But fathoming the designs of the conspira tors, Lundy wrote a very able pamphlet, exposing all their plans, entitled " The War in Texas." Previous to its publication, John Quincey Adams (father of Mr. Adams, the present American Am bassador to England), who preceded Jackson as President, and was afterwards elected a member of Congress for Massachusetts, one of the best in formed American statesmen on all subjects, per ceived the tendency of the incipient measures of the " Southern Brethren," as they were then termed. lie saw they endangered the liberties of the country, notwithstanding these measures were put forth in an exceedingly plastic and oily form in the name of patriotism ; and he boldly denounced them as schemes for national plunder and robbery, thereby surprising the nation, and offending many of his old friends and political supporters. All parties in the United States at that time were so unsuspicious of the slaveholders, so full of confi dence in their " dear Southern brethren," and so ignorant of the true nature and working of slavery under a constitution framed to secure liberty, that when they heard the notes of alarm sounded by Mr. Adams in reference to Texas they regarded them as simply the wild and incoherent ravings of an old man. But when Lundy read the first of these speeches of Mr. Adams, he saw, as he afterwards told the writer of this article, symptoms indicating an awakened suspicion respecting Texas, and a con sciousness that there was more in the plot than he was able to prove to the public. Mr. Adams seemed to be feeling his way into and seeking out the intricacies of the plot. Lundy sought an interview with him, revealed to him what he knew of the movement by the slaveholders to annex Texas, and furnished him with a mass of facts, official and documentary, and the cor respondence which had been privately going on between men in the United States and the officials in Texas. It was from these materials that Mr. Adams framed his great speeches delivered in Congress, in 1836, upon the Texas conspiracy. After this Lundy became an enthusiastic admirer of Mr. Adams, regarding him, as he truly was, as the greatest of American statesmen. Lundy appre ciated his sterling honesty and far-seeing statesman sbip, qualities which his countrymen then did not give him the credit of possessing. The great vic tories which Mr. Adams achieved over the slave party were not understood till his labours were all finished. Lundy, however, anticipated that Mr. Adams was destined to be the man of the hour, the statesman who shculd lead the nation out from under its bondage to its own despotism. While Lundj's mind was absorbed in the contemplation of these events, and when some of his expectations had been fulfilled, as was evinced in the passing current of the nation's affairs, he had a dream so remarkable that it made a deep and lasting impression upon him through the remainder of his life. He often told it to his friends, regarding it in the light of an intimation or prophecy—the figures and shadows of approaching realities. The dream was this :—The slavery question, which had for some time been an exciting one, grew still more exciting, and absorbed all other interests. People began to take sides—some in its favour, some in opposition to it. The slaveholders openly advocated all measures adapted to extend and per petuate slavery. Some of the leading men became timid and fearful. But still, as the slareholding party seemed to grow stronger, the party in opposi tion to it grew stronger also. In his dream the dis putants seemed in the midst of the debate to come to a physical conflict, and it became a fearful sight to behold. Every man appeared to be for himself, and the whole mass without a head and leader. Mr. Adams appeared in the melee prominent among the combatants, but he was not recognised as fit to lead, and bring disorder into order, though many besought him on account of his age and experience to become their leader, and they cried one to another to follow the leadership of counsel, age, and wisdom. In the midstof the conflict Mr. Adams was stricken down and died, the dreamer being impressed that it was a violent death. Mr. Lundy died August 22, 1839, nine years before Mr. Adams, which took place February 21, 1848. In the very act of rising to debate in Con gress he fell into the arms of Representatives near him, and was removed to a committee-room. Nature rallied for a moment. Ile said—" This is the end of earth," paused fora moment, and added, " I am content," and died. But to continue still further the narrative of the dream. After Mr. Adams had been smitten down by death the combatants for a time seemed appalled. The strife, however, respecting slavery was in no ways abated. It extended from the halls of Congress to all parts of the country. Then came a voice to Lundy declaring that the people were given over to madness —that they had refused to hear the great statesman Adams in his life-time —that the solemnities of his death had equally failed to impress the nation as to its true condition and actual peril. A vision followed of fearful scenes, from which Lundy shrank in terror, and which it was not lawful for man to describe, succeeded by a darkness, a blank horror that left an impression none the less terrible than what he had been permitted to behold. The darkness seemed to conceal that which in mercy he was withheld from either seeing or comprehending. What that darkness signified Mr. Lundy was never able to explain. Respecting it he could express no opinion, except that he believed it indicated fearful retribution. In the midst of it he seemed to observe that the heart of the nation was turned in one direction—a person who appeared as the embodiment of Mr. Adams came forward, and he seemed to have power to speak to the nation and command the wills of the people. Then suddenly the darkness passed away, and a new light was shed over the whole land, new members were assembled in Congress, who honoured the memory of those who had spoken against slavery ; and a marvellous consultation was held, iu which it was demanded by them almost to a man that as slavery had been the cause of all their troubles it should be immediately put away ; and it seemed to depart as speedily as the darkness, when it disappeared and when the strife ceased. Then the nation had great peace—a new Go vernment was formed for an independent nation of the coloured people, and established over the terri tory which he had endeavoured to colonise with the slaves, who had been nobly emancipated by their masters. There are many persons now living to whom Mr. Lundy told this dream. It was written out nearly as above, pro'&bly for the first time iu the fall of 1860, before there were any manifestations of the inhuman rebellion, and a few days after the firsi election of Mr. Lincoln to the Presidency.

The following letter has been addressed to a contemporary : GLASGOW, Aug. 26, 1867. DEAR SlR,—The last voyage of the s.s. Caledonia, from New York to Glasgow, will long be remem bered by the passengers in that safe and steady ship. Not only were the wind and waves most favourable, the company agreeable and sociable, and the arrangements excellent, but there was, in addition, something which is, we believe, rather a rarity at sea, and which in this particular case was found to be no ordinary treat. I refer to a course of lectures delivered in the saloon during the free voyage ; these lectures being followed by and frank discussions. The course was opened by Moses Caldwell, Esq., of Scranton, Pennsylvania, who discoursed on " Phrenology." He treated his subject so as to merit the attention and excite the interest of all present, his remarks being pertinent, pungent, and practical. The next lecture was delivered by Major Charles W. Buttz, United States Volunteers, of Norfolk, Virginia, on " Reconstruction in the Southern States," and was particularly interesting on account of the clear and forcible manner in which the gal lant major stated and enforced his opinion. The record which he has made of his loyalty and bravery .• . - lent additional weight to his statements. In the discussions that followed a prominent part was taken by Rev. Dr. Thompson, of Enniskillen, who was taking to his Irish home a bride, one of America's fair and gentle daughters. The reverend gentleman spoke with much vigour and eloquence. Rev. Professor Fales H. Newhall, of Middletown, Connecticut, on the succeeding evening resumed consideration•of the same subject, discoursing fully and philosophically on the condition and prospects of the negro race. The speaker brought before his audience a mass of rare and valuable information, chastely, succinctly, and impressively expressed. Rev. John Brash, A.M., New York, lectured on the Scottish language, and presented the theory advocated by Dr. Jamieson, author of the dictionary of the Scottish language. In the course of his lecture Mr. Brash introduced a number of very entertaining anecdotes and illustrations. He also by readings, selected from the works of Burns and Scott (to the great gratification of his hearers), brought out some of the chief peculiarities of Scotch speech and pronunciation. Professor Wm. North Rice, Springfield, Mass., in a series of well-ar ranged, lucid, and scientific remarks, spoke on the unity of the human race. These lectures were all delivered without notes, and with scarcely any of the ordinary aids to pre paration, the speakers relying solely on the stock of knowledge their memories contained, yet (in the estimation of the audience) so successfully, that the query was made and repeated by the Caledonia's passengers, " Why is the monotony of Transatlantic voyages not often broken by such means of instruction and entertainment ?" I have crossed the Atlantic several times, and must say that on no former occasion has there been such unity of feeling, love, and friendship between passengers and officers. It was a noticeable fact when parting with some of our fellow-passengers at Londonderry, tears were seen to find their way down the cheeks of friends remaining on board. Only those who have experienced the friendship and attachment that is formed while sharing the danger of the deep can appreciate the pleasure of an ocean voyage. For my friends, as well as for myself, I return thanks to Mr. Campbell, chief officer ; gr. Ritchie, the purser ; Dr. Mafee, and others, for their efforts to make the voyage agreeable. Vl° Anchor Line have in these officers all that could be tha,wished. It is desirable for passenger ships commanders should be men of education, and possess those qualities that conciliate and m aintain . harmony, and it would be well for the owners 0.1 the different Transatlantic lines to bear this 01 mind.--Respectfully yours, A CALEDONIAN PASSENGER.
