Fighting Fire for Twenty-six Years. A HISTORY OF HERRING'S PATENT SAFES. (From the Anglo-American Times.) Of all countries the United States of America is the most deeply interested in perfecting fire-proof safes, for in no other land is an equal amount of property so liable to destruction by fire. The cities of the United States, comparatively of recent erection, all contain more or less wooden houses, and while wealth increases and splendid stone dwellings take their place, some still remain to jeo pardise by their combustible material the valuable property which the richness of the land and the in dustry of the people have accumulated. The ex tremes of temperature are in proportion to the extent of the continent. Not only, therefore, are wooden houses more liable to destruction from the nature of their material, but requiring as they do a greater consumption of fuel to give warmth to their inmates, they are thus doubly exposed to the chances of conflagration. In consequence, every State has its tale of disastrous fires, and every week addst,, the category—sometimes an isolated building, more generally blocks, now and then whole streets, with here and there, the huge catastrophe of a city consumed. It was in such a field that Silas C. Herring com menced his labours 27 years ago. He could do nothing to prevent conflagrations, for that is beyond the province of a man ; requiring, indeed, a careful organisation of a whole society which then can only be partially successful. His energies were concentrated into a more practicable direction, and to it he gave the labours of a life. Wherever man kind is grouped into towns or even villages, property is deposited, comprised in a small space, but of the greatest value. In commerce, the books of the trader is the very essence of his business. The deeds of the estate owner, the will of the legatee, the bills, notes, receipts, share certificates, scrip, bonds, records,—these are the articles most valuable to the holder, and, at the same time, most easily destroyed. The man, then, who could construct a box capable of containing the most precious documents and valuables of a great firm, or of a community, would confer an inestimable boon on society in general, but more particularly on the people of the United States. When Silas C. Herring appeared on the scene, fire proof safes were but little understood. The old fashioned knob-chests were wooden boxes covered first with thin sheet iron banded and strapped, and fastened with large nails, having prominent knobs or cast iron heads like the rivets of a boiler. These ponderous boxes were truly formidable in appear ance, and therefore calculated to convey into the depositor's mind a gratifying sense of security. Yet in truth they were but traps for the unwary. A fire burst out, the key of the chest was not at hand, the inmates had to fly for their lives, some of the documents they might otherwise have carried with them were in the custody of the safe for which they looked in vain among the debris of the consumed building ; the knob-chest in the general wreck had disappeared with all its contents from creation. Still the principle on which they were con structed was not without its merit. Wood, though highly combustible, is a non-con ductor, and before being placed between the iron frame-work it is well soaked in brine. This saturation, although enabling it better to resist fire, placed within the timber the seeds of decay, and no lengthened period was required to reduce it to dry-rot, when it became dangerous from its liability to spontaneous combustion. Indeed many of these boxes ignited when in this state from proximity to a stove. It was in the next stage of fire-proofing that Mr. Herring entered on the busi ness. The plaster of Paris filling which replaced the wood is said to have been discovered by a mechanic, who attempted to heat water in a kettle he had used for his calcined plaster, when he dis covered that the water refused to boil. Investiga tion showed the bottom of the kettle lined with his THE SUN. LO DOB, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 14, 1867 CAPTURE OF FENIANS IN LIVERPOOL. whose inviolability it is bound by treaty to respect, as well as by the public law of nations ? These are serious questions. Englishmen, who are natu rally and rightly indignant at the presence on British soil of American Fenians plotting against the peace and comfort of the United Kingdom, can have no sympathy with Garibaldians not only plotting against the peace of Rome, but actually invading a peaceful territory and committing brutal outrages on unarmed inhabitants. Were this movement in reality an insurrection, would it not have broken out in Rome itself, or in some of the Papal cities ; or even if it had brOken out on the extreme confines of the Papal territory border ing on a hostile frontier, would it not have spread or met with sympathy or support in a small king dom surrounded by supporters of revolution if the inhabitants were, as they have been described, dis affected to the core and ripe for rebellion ? But what are the actual facts. No insurrection has broken out either in Rome itself or in any part of the Papal territories. On the extreme confines of the kingdom bordering on the Italian frontier, close to Orvieto, where Garibaldi landed and organized the invasion, issued inflammatory addresses, and assembled his redshirted Jacobins—at a place called Orte an attack was made on the Papal gen darmes by armed bands of men who called them selves Garibaldians, and who were strangers in the country. It is needless to enter here into further detail. We will only mention another fact in sub stantiation of the real character of this disturbance in the Papal States. At ;Acquapendente, in their precipitate retreat before the Papal troops, the armed band left twenty-one prisoners in the hands of their pursuers. None of these prisoners were natives or subjects of the Pope. The list of their names and the places whence they came, have been published. Eleven came from Sienna, three from Empoli, one from Pozzuelo, three from Perousa, one from Florence, one from Torre-Alena, and one from Monte-Corona. This list will show, says the LrvEnrooL, Saturday.—lmmediately after the affair at Manchester information reached the Liver pool police which induced a belief that some of the persons who had been engaged in the attack were at that time in Liverpool. In consequence of this belief the haunts of the Fenians in this town were visited almost nig ltly by strong parties of the de tective police, and the whole of the persons suspected to be Fenians frequenting those places became fami liar to the officers. After the committal of the men for the Manchester attack it was thought desirable that some of the officers of the Manchester police and others (witnesses) should come over to Liver pool, and, in company with the Liverpool detective officers, visit those haunts in order to see if they could identify any of the parties who were strongly suspected by the Liverpool police as having been engaged in the affair at Manchester. On Thursday last some officers and witnesses came over from Manchester, and several places were visited by them in company with the Liverpool police, but none of the persons found answered the description of the men whom they sought. Last evening the visits were repeated, and at a house in Adlington-street, long known to the police as a Fenian rendezvous, six men were found leaving the house hurriedly. They were at once arrested by the officers, and brought to the Central Police-office. On being seen by the Manchester officers and witnesses, one of them was as once identified as a man who had taken a very active part in the attack upon the van. He was spoken to by three persons. His name is James Chambers, and he is the head centre of Liver pool for the Fenian body. The witnesses, in de scribing the part this man took in the attack, state that when first seen he had two revolvers, one in each hand. Whether he had discharged the contents of these and put them aside or not is not stated, but he was afterwards seen actively engaged in throwing stones at the van. Another of these men, named Brophy—a most formidable-looking fellow, broad-shouldered and deep-chested—is also believed to have been in Manchester on the same occasion, and to have joined in the attack. Two others, M'Donough and O'Brien, were strongly suspected of being concerned also in the outrage. These four men were taken to the main bridewell, and kept there until they could be conveyed to Manchester. They were taken to the railway station in two cars (which were well guarded inside and outside by officers), and despatched to Manchester by the 10 p.m. train. A telegram had been previously sent to the chief of the police at Manchester, who was awaiting the arrival of the prisoners with the whole of his staff ofdetective officers and others. In fact, every precaution appears to have been taken to pre vent the success of any attempt at rescue. Six men were captured altogether, but in the case of two suspicion against them was of so slight a character that they were at once discharged, their presence in the house being more accidental than otherwise. The duty of this capture was entrusted, to Inspec tors Horne and Carlisle, and a large staff of de tective officers. They were all armed with revolvers, and this fact being made known to the parties may' to some extent account for the quiet and effective way in which the arrest was made. The street in which the house (a beer-horse) is situated is in the centre of what may be called the Irish quarter of the town. It is a densely-populated neighbour hood ; and it is not too much to say that the great bulk at least of the lower order of the Irish population who crowd there, if not actually Fenians themselves, are sympathisers with them. It was, therefore, more necessary that this arrest should be effected as quietly and quickly as pos sible. Lest there should have been any serious at tempt at resistance to the detective force, Mr. Chief- Superintendent Ride had arranged to have a reserve of the ordinary police near at hand, so that they might at once, if necessary, proceed to the spot. Such arrests as these would, to ordinary agitators, appear very d;scouraging ; whether it may turn out to be so in this instance remains to be seen ; but there can be little doubt that the authorities of this town, at least, are well posted up in all the move ments of the body, and can at any time lay hands on those whom it may be desirable to arrest. The head constable, Major Greig, is constantly on the alert, and has his force under such control that almost any emergency can be dealt with. The house where Chambers lives has been examined. It is a wretched place, but no documents of importance have been discovered, nor were any found upon the prisoners arrested last night. Giornale di Roma, what sort of people these in. surgents were of whom the papers make so much noise. Nowhere do we hear of the Garibaldians re ceiving, in their discomfiture, support or sympathy. On the contrary, the inhabitants of the invaded districts eagerly welcome the Papal troops arriving to their assistance. As to the character of the movement, its origin, and the opposition that it meets with from the vast majority of the inhabit ants of the Papal States, there can now be no question. What is more difficult to discover is the relation in which Rattazzi and the Italian Government stand to Garibaldi and the Revolu tion. But after the events of 1860, as the Unita Cattolica well observes—after the comedy which the Italian Government played in Sicily after the publication of Cavour's letters—after the con• fessions of Bixio in the Chambers—after the cer tainty entertained, both by his friends and enemies, that Garibaldi was secretly assisted in 1860 by the Piedmontese Government, at the very time that he was publicly disavowed who can have any confidence that the Italian Govern ment is not now secretly encouraging and assisting the Garibaldians to cross the Roman frontier? Who can say that the farce which in 1860 was enacted in regard to Sicily may not now be played in regard to Rome ? Truthfulness and public honour, such as we expect from our public men in England, are no more regarded by the re volutionary Government than is respect for the rights and property of others. Rattazzi is as capa ble of public deceit and treachery as was Cavour before him. The arrest of Garibaldi at the eleventh hour was due (according to our most trustworthy and well - informed Roman correspondent, to whose letters we beg to call the attention of such as wish to know what is going on in Rome) to the threat of Napoleon, who gave Rattazzi forty-eight hours' time to choose between the alternative either of stopping Garibaldi or of seeing French troops landed at Civita Vecchia. This Garibaldian movement must be revolting to those even who do not share our horror at its sacrilegious nature, both on account of its odious, deceitful, and unmanly character, and because it is an attack against the oldest monarchy, and against a Prince and Pope who has gained respect and reverence from everyone able of appreciating true greatness and virtue. — Westminster Gazette. A brother of Chambers is now sustaining penal servitude for life for taking part in Fenian outrages in Jreland. INVASION OF THE PAPAL STATES. From the account which we have given from authentic sources in our first column of this latest attempt of the followers of Garibaldi to invade the Papal States, it is evident—First, that it is not an insurrection of the subjects of the Pope against his rule, but an invasion of strangers concocted outside the Papal territories ; and secondly, that wherever these armed and organized disturbers of the peace showed themselves in Roman territory, far from being welcomed as deliverers, they were treated as enemies ; and thirdly, that whenever they came in contact with the Papal troops they were put to flight. From these facts, for such they are, the English public ought at last to learn that the populations of the Papal States are not, as has been so perpe tually asserted, both here and on the Continent, disaffected and ready to revolt, at the first oppor tunity, against what is called the government of priests. Had such been the case on the withdrawal of the French army two years ago, when the Pope was left face to face with his subjects, why did they not rise to a man, as had been predicted of them in every revolutionary paper of Europe, against the yoke they were said to abhor? But nothing of the kind has occurred. For two years the populations of Rome and of the Papal States have been exposed to the secret machinations of the agents of revolution; they have been cajoled and threatened by turns, but to no purpose ; they would not revolt. The secret committees entrusted with the getting up of an insurrection at Rome were at loggerheads with one another at their common ill-success ; they were both superseded by the superior authority of the Revolution sitting in permanence atFlorence and a committee of national safety appointed. This committee has also failed to incite the Romans torebellion. The revolutionary party is enraged at what they call the apathy of the Romans, who are reviled by the journals as a base and spiritless people, unworthy of liberty. The tactics of the Revolution are now changed. It would not do to acknowledge before the world the content and loyalty of the subjects of the Pope. Had it not been proclaimed on the authority of the Revolution that Rome was held down by foreign bayonets, and that on their withdrawal the Pope would not remain a week in Rome ? For the credit of the Revolution there must be an insur rection ; there must be an excuse of some kind invented for the intervention of the Italian army. But since the Garibaldian party, in spite of inflammatory proclamations, of secret bribes and threats, and of open revilings failed to provoke a real rising in the populations of the Papal States, they set to work to manufacture one. Bands of twenty and thirty, parties of five or six, and single individuals armed and organized were placed along the frontier of the Roman States, or were smuggled into the Roman territory wherever it was possible. At a given signal from the leaders, as we have seen, these men rose against the Papal Government. The word was passed throughout Europe that the long-expected insurrection had at last broken out in the Papal States. The telegrams which arrive from Florence still speak no longer, indeed, of the successes but of the defeat of the insurgents. This is the point to which we wish to direct atten tion : Are these armed men now fighting in the Papal States insurgents or invaders ? Is the move ment, such as it is, an insurrection of the subjects of the Pope against his rule, or the lawless inroads into a peaceful country of lawless bands of private citizens'? Ilow is the pillage and bloodshed which is taking place to be characterized? Is the Italian Government guilty of a secret connivance such illYPtili.9ll of a State plaster mixings, which gave him the idea of its .non-conducting powers, and the sugges tion of its value for fire-proof lining. About the same time this discovery was made in New York, and the inventor filled with the plaster the safe he used—the first thus con structed—and now, as a curiosity, retained in one of the stores of Messrs. Herring, Farrel, and Sherman. For many years plaster of Paris held sway. But though well adapted as a protection against fire, experience proved that while in one way preserving the papers it destroyed them in another. The calcined plaster was of no use as a fire-proof cement unless mixed with water, while the damp compound, when thus mixed, moulded and destroyed books and papers. Without the water the plaster-of-Paris was no better than sand against fire ; with the water it intrcduced a sure process of destruction against an uncertain one, not only rotting the papers, but rusting the iron be tween which it was confined. The Wilder patent of 1843 was brought to the perfection attainable, in the hands of Silas C. Herring. But it was clear that another fire-proof filling was necessary, and large rewards were offered by the firm for the invention of a better material. The Crofton water-safes were then proposed, by which water was let on either by the burning of a string or the melting of a soft cement fawcet on the approach of heat. Alum and clay were recommended, the old water theory to produce steam being adhered to. But the firm saw that such contrivances did not meet the requirements. Water, under certain circum stances, but feeds the flames, and it was seen that it was not the quantity of moisture, but the quality which holds peculiar moisture the longest that was required. " It was well known that the production of certain atmospheres are antagonistic to heat, and in the presence of some gases no flame can live. The production of the Herring patent com position demonstrated that though it did not secrete so much moisture, yet it was more slowly evaporated or driven out by fire than any other compound heretofore known, and the safe on which he issued his challenge. This consists of a triple safe, and a glance at the draw ing will give an idea that if the safe deli neated in Plate 16 foiled a party representing burglars with every advantage, what chance they would have bad if the attack had been made on the bankers' safe. A desperate attempt was made in New York in March, 1861, to break into the Exchange Bank. The burglars entered the vault through the floor by digging a tunnel some 70 feet long. Although they had from Saturday night till Monday morning to carry on the operations against the Herring burglar proof, they were com pelled to give in, abandoning their tools, and leaving the vault in ruins. Another attempt was made on the Kent National Bank, Ohio, where the failure was as signal. It was necessary for the bank to force the safe, the lock being injured; and it required 14 hours of sledge hammers, used by the most skilled to be procured in Cleveland, which, with the work already accomplished by the burglars, gave fully two days and three fresh gangs before the safe was opened. _ _ In the frontispiece a safe is represented which went through the great conflagration that destroyed the City of Portland last year. The effects of the fire are strongly marked, but, &though the brass work melted and the heat warped portions of the iron -frame, the contents were extracted in good condition ; not a leaf of the account books were in jured nor a word erased. the more recent improvements which we have secured by patents during the past two years have proved that a fireproof filling for safes is produced that is perfectly dry and unchangeable until the fire attacks it, which will not damp or mould books and papers, will not corrode or rust the iron of the safe, and does not dry out or lose any of its fire proof qualities from evaporation in a warm room. In place of boiling at 212 degs., the boiling point of water, its fumes are noticeable at the red heat of iron (1,000 deg.), and our fire-proof lining being a double sulphate, produces an atmosphere in which so long as it lasts no flame can exist." This filling, though dry as flour when put in, fuses into a com pact mass on subjection to a hot fire without losing bulk or leaving large holes or cracks like other composition. Thus it adds to the security, for as the fire progresses, the lining becomes a solid firm mass, which immensely strengthens the safe and fits it to endure the next great ordeal, which it finds when it is precipitated from the story on which it stands into the cellar amid the falling ruins of iron girders, beams, and huge stones, whose blows it then has to resist. Silas C. Herring's attention was first at tracted to the manufacture of safes in 1840 by a great fire which then broke out at the foot of the Wall-street, New York. The leading fire-proof chests were then all destroyed except the newly introduced Salamander, which was at least so far successful as to carry off the palm of victory. " Previous to his embarking in the enterprise the history of the Salamander had been one of misfor tune, owing to the want of means and ability of those having it in charge, and the natural slowness of the public to encourage new productions. The destruction wrought by the Coffee House Slip fire demonstrated the insecurity of what were then termed safes, and induced the public better to receive the efforts made to introduce a more efficient con struction. When Mr. Herring commenced, his stock of safes was stored in a little room 20 by 40 feet, each ranging in value from $4O to $250. This building was turned into the manufaetory—the basement being the blacksmith's shop, or forge and filling room. The first floor was the sales and safe room, the two upper storeys were occupied by the iron workers, who cut the iron and framed the safes, and the one solitary blacksmith, who could furnish all the locks as fast as the safes were ready for them. It was not till 1845, a year of great fires, that the value of his work came prominently before the public. The offices of the Tribune and 400 buildings were destroyed in the City of New York on the 19th July, when from £1,500,000 to £2,000,000 sterling worth of property was consumed. From the midst of the ruins of the Tribune establishment the Her ring's Safe was taken, where it had lain red hot for 36 hours in its fiery bed, when, to the astonishment of all beholders, the contents were extracted unin jured. From a merchant's office one of these patent safes was taken after an exposure of 60 hours in the same way, every line of the books being perfectly legible. These, with numerous other instances, at once stamped with the seal of security the Patent Safes manufactured by the firm, while the old-fashioned fireproofs were false to their profes sions, and even solid vaults of stone and brick yielded to. the fiery adversary, in the great trial of 1845. Since then, in the single city of New York, nearly 100 Herring safes have passed through this ordeal, in every instance pre serving their contents, amounting to millions in value. The confidence inspired created an era in this branch of domestic manufacture. Steam power and machinery were brought into requisition, and the little shop of 26 years ago, in which two or three safes a week were produced, has given place to a magnificent establishment where 300 hands are constantly employed and vaults valued at $20,000 are manufactured. The book contains 130 closely-printed pages of letters received by the firm from all parts of Ame rica, giving accounts of great fires, and of the triumph of the safes. One-tenth the number would have carried conviction to any mind. As a sample of these, we may quote a passage from a letter from Weeks and Prescott, as the fire described was in a distillery, and the heat therefore must have been seven times intensified. Writing from Buffalo, December 14, 1854, they say :—" We roasted a Her ring last night, and notwithstanding we started the scales freely it came out triumphant. The safe was one of Herring's patent, and was in Truscott's distillery, which was burnt and made a hot fire." The editor of the Daily Republic went to look at it. "It was so warped and sprung," he wrote, " by the action of the intense heat that it was impossible to unlock it. It was cut into,lwhen, much to the surprise and delight of the owners, the contents, consisting of a set of account-books, bonds, and mortgages, policies of insurance, notes, bank bills, specie, &c., were found to be in a per fect state of preservation (the editor vouches for what he saw), not the slightest sign of any unusual heat being visible in any part thereof." It is not till close to the end of the work that burglars are even touched on. "We are often asked the question, ' Are these safes burglar proof ?' and invariably answer, that they are as much a protection against the burglar as the price will admit. This is the most that can be said of any safe. Nothing is made by man that man cannot unmake, and a safe made for books and papers only as a fire-proof pro tection, is not a fit receptacle for coupon bonds, Government Securities, or large amounts of money." The firm here allude to the combined fire and bur glar safe, the one built within the other, the outer to protect from fire, the inner from burglars. Against burglars, the inner safe has the advantage that it cannot be operated on with the same facility, as it is enclosed and protected by the outer or fire proof safe. This was the principle which enabled Mr. Herring to defeat, with a third-class safe, the best efforts: of so celebrated a maker as Mr. Chat wood in the. recent trial. Plate 16 gives the illustra tion of the F afe tested, which is a common construc tion with tb is firm. The upper portion is framed for books, witi - I. pigeon-holes above for papers, while the lower port; .on shows another safe imbedded with the formidable door which foiled for so lengthened a period a .e most skilful workmen of Lancashire. Turning t o Plate 27, we come to Herring's Patent Bankers' safe, and in Plate 28 is seen the design of Miscellaneous Foreign News. :From Correspondent of the Anglo-American Times.) PARIS, October 10. I promised last week to continue my un finished sketch of St. Cloud, a promise which has been impressed upon my memory by a circum stance similar to that which happened to King George of blessed memory, when he had to pay so many florins for a dinner of eggs. Eggs, said mine host gravely, are not scarce, but Kings are, and so I presume must be the case at St. Cloud as regards haricots (the French or kidney bean) and visitors. The fresh air and the long walk from Paris to St. Cloud, followed by a stroll iu the Park, had pro vided me with a very respectable appetite, so I determined to enjoy my modest luncheon and half bottle of wine al fresco on oue of the many tables set forth for the wayfarer on the outside of a restau rant of promising appearance. Everything was proceeding most happily ; the cutlet was done to a turn ; the bread (the usual French roll) excellent, and the half bottle of yin ordinaire equally unex ceptionable; but, alas ! what mortal knows when he is well off, or can leave that well alone ; in an evil hour I took a fancy to ask for vegetables ; there were only haricot verts ; I ordered a portion. Now be it known to the reader that these aforesaid haricots are sold in Paris at the rate of I.d. to 2d. per pound, and if ordered at the best restaurant therein at their first coming never by any chance exceed fivepenc• for one person. I ordered the bill. Haricots, lfr., the third part of the cost of the luncheon. Now if there be anything I par ticularly dislike it is what is called in France being " rolled," or, in plain language, " taken in." How ever, all was of no use, for some reason unknown this vegetable, so cheap and plentiful at Paris, be comes so comparatively dear at the short distance of five or six miles that nothing was left for it but to console myself with the conviction that mine host would surely be punished for it sooner or later— The President is said to be preparing his reasons for dismissing Secretary Stanton, to be submitted to Congress in November, in compliance with the law which makes it incumbent on the head of the Executive, fully to inform the Senate why offi cers were removed during the recess. Mr. Stan- Raro antecedenteur scellestum, Deseruit pania pede claudo justitia, and with the ability of rendering my readers the very serviceable advice never to order haricots at St. Cloud. After leaving the restaurant I strolled towards the Palace, the external appearance of which from the circumstance of the various alterations and ton is, we believe, accused among other offences with unlawful appropriation of public property, and with conspiring with railway authorities to make undue charges against the Government for he transfer of men and material. Such charges improvements made by its respective possessors, having been made to satisfy an immediate want or caprice, lacks the finished ensemble possessed by similar edifices completed on one original plan. One enters by what is termed the Vestibule of the are too often trumped up by political opponents in the States to serve party purposes and to give vent :o spleen. General Grant is winning golden opinions by the unsparing retrenchment he has introduced into the War Department. The military expenses have been most retnorsely cut down, superfluous servants discharged, and reforms effected in the expenditure of those retained. Some idea may be formed of what he has accomplished in this direction, when we state that between 200 or 300 clerks have been removed from the Quartermaster's and Adjutant- General's Departments. Since he assumed control of the War-office the expenses have been reduced by nearly $200,000 a month. General Pope, who ordered the empannelling of negro juries, has come into coll'sion with Judge Reece on this point, who refused to carry out the order. The General called upon the Judge to re sign, which the latter refused to do. General Pope has protested against the rehearing of General Fitz-John Porter's case, who was cashiered in 1863. He was tried for treason and disobedience of orders. and the principal witness against him was General Pope. Accounts from Mexico of the 20th ult. state that Admiral Tegethoff, having failed in obtaining the body of Maximilian, had determined to withdraw without it. He was attempting to effect the release Emperor, remarking on the staircase a painting by Rouget, the subject being the presentation to Napo leon Bonaparte the decree of the Senate by which he is proclaimed Emperor. The decree is being presented by Cambaceres and Lebrun, whilst the future Empress Josephine, her daughter, afterwards Queen Hortense, Eugene de Beauharnais, Murat ; Massena, Kellerman, Talleyrand, and a group of Senators, assist at the ceremony. At the top of the staircase is the vestibule of the grand apartments, to the left the door which gives access to the theatre, to the right that which opens on the Saloon of Mars. The series of apartments thrown open to the public are the Saloons of Mars, Diana, Venus, Truth, Mercury, Aurora, and the Gallery of Apollo. It is scarcely possible to describe the magnificent appear- ance of these various apartments, which take their names from the principal portraits exhibited therein. These paintings are mostly by Mig- nard, the sides of the apartments, as well as the ♦aulted ceilings, seem to resemble a collection of paintings of every size and shape, the gold groined arches forming, as it were, the frames or setting. But it is not alone by the brush of the artist that these splendid reproductions of history are conveyed to the visitor; the loom hath its part ; and to give the reader an idea of what the Goblein tapestry is like, I will only mention the re- mark made to me by a lady who stood by. " How exquisitely," said she, " that picture is painted," poiuting at the same time to one almost within reach of her hand. "Do you think that is a paint ing?" said I. " Look a little closer, and you will find that the needle, and not the brush, has accom plished that matchless piece of tapestry, which, un ,ess on the minutest inspection, bears every indica- tion of being a painting emanating from a master• hand." Another most remarkable item in connection with these tapestries (with which also, by the way, the enamelled and gilded chairs, sofas, &c., are also covered) is a number of immense vases of the celebrated Sevres porcelain, exquisitely painted and enamelled, amongst them being four, representing the Four Seasons, which have been highly appreciated at the Exposition, of which they lately formed a part. The gallery of Apollo, the theatre of the splendid fetes offered to Louis Quatorze by his mother, and subsequently those offered by the Regent to the Czar Peter and others, was consecrated under the Directory to the sittings of the Council of the Ancients. The ceiling repre- sents Apollo in his chariot, and amongst the other grand tableaux Circe Clymeire, daughter of the Ocean ; the Fall of Icarus, Apollo and Tau, Apollo and Marsyas ; whilst Philippe d'Orleans, Monsieur Duke of Orleans, Charlotte of Bavaria, Anne of Austria, Marie Theresa of Austria, Louis XIV., the Dauphin, all accompanied with the devices of the personages they represent, and affording to the visitor by the mere effort of the coup d'ceil are trospective chronologic record of most of the principal events relating to the French Dynasty. Below the gallery lies the chapel, plainly fitted up in white marble, panelling the numerous doors of the gallery of Apollo, opening on it so as to enable the Court to attend the religious services without leaving the apartment. A description of the other saloons would be but a repetition of the foregoing, coupled with the titles of the paintings and their distinguished artists. I will content myself with noticing, in conclusion, a very magnificent architectural work placed on the summit of a verdant amphitheatre, which has re ceived the name of the " Lanthorn of Diogenes." It consists of a truncated obelisk crowned with a copy of a very pretty choragic monument, with which Lysierates had adorned Athens to consecrate the souvenir of the prize which he had carried off from all his rivals. But I exceed my limits. Ac cording to the Moniteur, the establishment of a French trans-Atlantic cable is finally resolved upon. The cable, according to authorised permission, will be carried from Brest to St. Pierre Miquelon. These two points are admirably chosen ; the space which separates having been through all its length the object of recent hydrographic labours, by means of which it has been ascertained that the depth was fathomable, and that its disposition consisted of a vast tele graphic plateau, on which the cable could be ex tended in the most advantageous manner. A new model of a cable has been adopted, for the perfection of which the very latest improvements of science and industry have been called into action, the basis of the system reposing upon the complete system, which has obtained the principal gold medal at the Exposition Universelle. Despatches direct between Europe and North America, already very consider able, increase every day. The greatest part of these, it is said, are assured to the French cable. The line from Antilles to Cuba is about to be inaugurated. The Anglo-Indian Telegraph, and the telegraph from Rio Janeiro, which will place the whole of Asia and the whole of South America in communi cation with Europe, will be executed before long. Their despatches, in accordance with recent arrange ments, will arrive by the French cable, which will be in operation about the month of August, 1868. It is probable thus that France, from her advantageous geographical position, will be called upon to centralise by the inter mediary of the French cable the telegraphic despatches of the whole m orld. From communica tions to the Gironde from Biarritz it appears that the Empress Eugenie and the Prince Imperial have had a very narrow escape in visiting St. Jean de Luz in the Imperial yacht, the Chamois. The evening of the day had come in dark and rainy, and it became necessary to make a long tack to wards the Spanish coast before approaching the dangerous coast of St. Jean de Luz. The debarka tion was being effected in the boats of the yacht when by some oversight of the pilot Larretche, who was, nevertheless, perfectly acquainted with the coast, the Imperial boat struck on a shoal when near tho shore and was swamped, All, howeyer, COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

During the past week American Securities have under gone a considerable amount of fluctuation, owing to the double causo at work, viz.—gold in the United States, ar_ - .1 the tendency to follow the decline of Securities on the Continent caused by the warlike rumours lately current. With regard to 5-20's of both issues this tendency has been downwards, the 1862's having touched 711 on Tues day, when the 65's were at 69, showing a wider dif ference than usual. This took place on the receipt of the New York telegram, quoting gold at the high figure of 145 i. A t the close, however, there was a revival, and we quote 1862's 71i 721, and 1865's 69i 70, showing an improvement of s per cent. in the one, and i per cent. in the other on the closing prices of last Thursday. Illinois shares have been tolerably steady, ranging between 76? sellers and 78 buyers. This evening, however, they close i per cent. higher, viz., 774 781 ; Eries have followed pretty regularly, the price of gold, with, however, the large margin of 2 per cent. occasionally. They close at 431 44, having touched 40 to 41 last Friday. Atlantic and Con solidated Mortgage Bonds remain unaltered. They close at 20, 1 ,- to 21k. (From E. F. Satterthwaite and Co.'s Weekly Circular, Oct. 9.) Our advices from New York, per the China, are to the 23rd ult. The Money Market remained tight, which cre ated some uneasiness. The demand, however, was a very legitimate one, being for moving the large Western crops. The influence of this business was beginning to be felt on the railroads, most of which are showing increased re ceipts for the first two weeks of September. ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN. The report of the Committee of investigation into the affairs of this company has at length been issued and circulated amongst the bond and shareholders, and from its perusal we conclude that a searching examination has been made, and that the worst is known. We are certainly much disappointed to find that so great a delay in resuming payment of coupons is pro posed, and we can only attribute this to the desire in ar ranging the company's affairs at this juncture, not to make any propositions which are not only feasible, but which there is almost the certainty of being able to carry out. We were not at all prepared to find that so large a sum as is stated was required to put the road in good running order. In the autumn of 1865 we know that, with a smull exception, the track was in excellent running condition, and surely, if the money raised early in 1866 had been spent upon the road and equipment, which we had every reason to believe would be the case, no such sums as those set down could now be required. We observe that the committee has convened a meeting for the 22d instant, this date being fixed in order to give ample time for the consideration of the details of the report. Now it appears to us that [parties interested would have been much better able to form a judgment on what course they should pursue had a statement been made as to what the receiver has done dar ing the six months he has had the management of the concern, and what actual profit he has earned. The traffic returns are steadily less as compared with last year's take ; but, as to whether the line is being worked to more or less profit, we have no information. It would further be interesting to know whether it is intended the line shall continue to be worked by the receiver, or whether the administration is to revert to the old channel. Notwithstanding the unsatisfactory state of affairs dis closed, we are disposed to think that probably no better plan for the future can be struck out than that proposed by the committee, especially as it can be carried on without asking for more money to be subscribed, and without in creasing legal expenses or legal troubles. Since our last the London market for United States Bonds has been entirely influenced by Continental news, and during the week in sympathy with the panic on the Paris Bourse 5-20 Bonds were sold as low as its, and the 1865 issue at 69-1-, but from this point there has been a rally, and the market to-day is steady at quotations. The chief feature in shares has been a rise in Eries of $2, while Illinois on good buying close nearly $1 higher. of the Emperor's confessor, whom Maximilian had authorised to publish his entire correspondence with the Emperor Napoleon and the Marshal Bazaine. The news then received alleges that Porfirio Diaz, instead of withdrawing from the contest, as before asserted, had accepted the nomination for the Presi dency, and his adherents were organising themselves for a furious campaign. Governor Brownlow keeps Tennessee in a state of ferment. A new cause of quarrel has arisen, and bloodshed was only averted by the Conservatives withdrawing their candidates from the contest. The Governor has a corps of officers appointed by himself for registration. The City Councils have also appointed officers for that purpose. The Governor issued a proclamation against the local registrars, and the municipal authorities in turn issued proclamations against Brownlow. Federal and State troops were concentrated in the cities, and special constables sworn in, both sides preparing for a fight. A consultation was held by the Presi dent with the Commander-in-Chief, which re sulted in General Grant ordering Major-General Thomas, in command of the department, to make every preparation at Nashville to suppress in surrection, adding that if more troops were wanted they would be despatchel at his call. On the muni cipal side it is alleged, on the authority of several State Judges, that the existing laws grant charters to cities directing local elections to be controlled by local authorities. The Governor, however, claims that the franchise law passed by the State Legisla ture gives negroes the power to vote, and as his officers have disfranchised nearly all the white citizens of Tennessee, he has thus secured the success of his own nominees. The question hinged on the action of General Thomas, in command of the Federal troops, and as that General would not interfere the power remained with Governor Brownlow, the Democrats withdrawing their opposition, and thus a collision was averted. The Radical ticket was elected without opposition at Nashville and the officers quietly installed ; but the other side applied for an injunction on the ground that the election was illegal. A message from New York, dated 6 p.m., Oct. 9, says :—" The Democrats have carried the elections in Pennsylvania, and the Republicans in lowa. In the latter State the Republican majority was greatly reduced. The result of the Ohio elections is doubtful." This shows that the tide is at last turning in the United States. The long lease of power held by the Republican party is now about to be disputed. Pennsylvania, more than any other State, is an indicator of the drift of public opinion in America. The parties in that great State have always been pretty evenly bal anced, and elections there are considered a sure sign of the bent of the popular mind. The population is so large, the interest so vast and varied, that one man cannot produce preponderating influence, and the State is not therefore swayed by sudden im pulses. To whatever cause it may be due, the fact is now certain that the rule of the Republican party will cease to derive the great strength it has hitherto exerted from the national sympathy with its objects. It is probable that this change would have occurred sooner had it not been for the President's mad tour of last year. A strong oppo sition is productive of great good, and we have no doubt that the checks now received will have a wholesome effect on the extreme Radicals. The feeling is general that the negro party are pushing their reforms beyond the bounds of reason, and it will be well for the country if a strong reaction does not follow. The last number of ' , rank Leslie gives forcible expression to this in an illustration, in which negroes are sketched transact ing business, with all their peculiar type of figure and face developed to an exaggeration, and still true to life. A glance at once suggests the question to the mind, which must have been the idea of the artist—Are these to be the future legislators and rulers of the Southern States? Even in Louisiana the Republicans are said to be apprehensive of defeat in the election of delegates. Prussia has addressed invitations to Bavaria, Wurtemburg, Baden, Luxemburg, and Austria to send representatives to a conference in Berlin to consider the questions of the postal system and of a postal convention between Austria and Germany.

An old Greek historian remarks, that as his countrymen advanced in civilization, they used a plainer and commoner mode of dress. The same holds good of the style in which men clothe their words. Costume and parlance obey the same law of progress ; tall talk goes out with laced waist coats and periwigs ; and society becomes more and more intolerant of stilted phrase and of extrava gant attire. Nor is it marked peculiarity alone, or show, or gaudiness in dress or expression, which revolts the public feeling or provokes public laughter. A separate department is reserved in English dislike for any serious assumption of the antiquated. Serious, we say; because when a manifestation owns a festive, or purely historical, or semi-jocose character, as Lord Mayor's show, guild processions, Christmas mummings, then antiquarianism comes in well enough. We dress up and we talk up, when we enact theatricals. But when we have washed the cork from our faces, and laid aside our buskins and armour of tin-foil, we return to our ordinary attire and phraseology ; the King Cam byses' vein of a moment ago becomes a weariness and an impertinence. Further ; inasmuch as among other modes of speech now laid aside with antient dresses, the style of the Protestant version of Scriptures, as a manner of expression, has become an archaism in this our day, to write or speak like it would seem to partake of both these vices. It is a peculiarity and a mannerism ; for not the most diligent stu dent of the sacred volume consciously casts his expressions in its mould. It is a conscious assump- tion of the antique ; for it would revive the dead English of three centuries ago. It is one thing to quote, another to imitate. We speak, throughout, of imitation, not of quotation. We say that to address a public manifesto in a laboured imitation of Scriptural phrase is a process as artificial as for a barrister to plead with Bacon's quaintness, because Bacon was Lord High Chancellor ; or for a rector to write his sermons in the style of George Her bert, because Herbert was a " country parson." Such thoughts are forced upon us by that quaint production, the pastoral letter of the Pan-Anglican Synod. We do not here profess to criticise the matter of the document ; but its manner is so marvellous, that we must be permitted to pause on it in wonder. What may have induced the 1 Protestant bishops to meet in this Pan-Anglican assembly, and exhibit to the whole world the maximum of impotence by securing the minimum of discord, is best known to themselves. But why, having met, they should adopt such a mode of speech for their utterances, and pronounce the oracles from their adytuni, through the mouthpiece of old Miles Coverdale, and the rest who wore spade beards, is a further mystery. It seems to our minds a solecism in literature, and a blunder in taste. enjoys g T h h e e s t A education i e c a a t n i bench mind a o n p d p o t r o t n u g n u i t e i . e s of t t he is regarded as an ornament around the steps of the throne, not unworthy, for dignity and culture, of the country which gives those bishops their baronies.

There is, to use a word of Lord Westbury's, g e l ib o f ness about it, which aims at being even Apostolic, but fails of being anything but bombastic merely., utterly. "Be thou familiar," says Polonius to his son, " but by no means vul gar." This assumed familiarity with sacred lan guage would have i ncurred, we think, precisely that note of blame fro m the astute old premier of Elsinore.

A n d we feeld's meanings; it is as ungracious, this circular letter to have about it the smack of a most pretentious and unmitigated sham. It would take too long to analyse the rationale of this strange exhibition of (we must say) profane bombast ; and it would draw us from the only point of our remarks, from the manner to the matter of the Pan-Anglican utterances. Yet the two have indeed a close connection ; even as the tones of a man's voice are, to true interpreters, the index of his mind. Many for whose b est welfare we are anxious, will be almo st as much disquieted by the tone of all this, as by what is said in it, or left unsaid. For lofty platitudes neither gain nor inspire additional confidence - for being hidden under a mass of Scripture phrases misapplied. The words are heaven-taught, but collocation and ap plication alike are human. The voice is Jacob's voice ; but the hands a re the hands of Esau. Some ravroXp6r avrip, s ome Joab, has been here at work. The stones of the sanctuary are built into a tot tering wall, daubed with untempered mortar. We repeat, the very pomp of this assumption of Apostolic language will lead " men of good will" to investigate more closely the Pan-Anglican claims. In a world of pretence and rhetoric, we are apt to grow suspicious in proportion as men grow suddenly eloquent on points beside the mark. We trust men who speak simply, and who evidence their trust in the intrinsic force and unvarnished comeliness of truth.

The Pall Mall Gazette says :—Mr. Seward's efforts at following up the acquisition of Walrussia seem to have been far from successful. His attempts to pur chase Samana in the Island of St. Domingo, or to obtain British Columbia by treaty, having failed, he instructed Mr. Bancroft, the new Minister to Berlin, to take Madrid on his way to his new post for the purpose of purchasing Cuba. Mr. Bancroft having mot with a rebuff, Senater I Doolittle was ordered to take Copenhagen in the circuit of his European tour, and there offer a goodly sum for the island of St. Thomas. But Senator Doolittle did little to ward that object, and the United States can for the present only look anxiously to see if anything will turn up in the direction of Mexico. The United States ship Lackawanna has taken possesion of Brooke's Island in the Pacific, which will be used as a depot for steamers on the China Line.
