Naval and Military Intelligence. In accordance with an order received from the Horse Guards the 6th company of the Royal Engi neers left headquarters, Brompton Barracks, Chat ham, yesterday morning, and proceeded to Alder shot, for the purpose of being employed in engineer ing operations at that station. The strength of the company is two officers, four sergeants, two buglers, and 46 rank and file. The company was under the command of Capt. W. M. T. Campbell, with Lieut. C. J. Ferguson. Great satisfaction has been occasioned among the troops in garrison at Chatham by the receipt of the , long-looked-for orders from the War-office, direct ing the increase in the pay of the troops. The right wing of the 34th Regt. disembarked yesterday at Portsmouth from the sailing transport Alumbagh and marched into quarters in the garri son in the following strength :—Col. Gwilt, Major Paget ; Capts. Boyce, Ross, and Lampen ; Lieuts. Vaughan, Walker, Clayton, and Boggs ; Ensigns Fladgate, James, and Cowslade ; Surgeon-Major Manifold, wife, and two children ; 27 sergts., 19 corporals, 18 drummers, 288 men, 11 women, and 13 children. Four men and one child died, and there were two births. Yesterday Major-Gen. Warde commanded a bri gade field day on Woolwich-common, composed of about 2,000 cavalry and infantry, consisting of six field batteries of the mounted Artillery and the Infantry of the Royal Marines, in command of Lieut.-Col. Menzies. The Royal Artillery were supplied with 15 rounds of blank ammunition per gun, and the infantry 10 rounds per man, which was consumed in the attack and defeat of an imaginary foe laying siege to the garrison. The sham fight was kept up with much spirit from 10 to 1 o'clock, when the troops retired to quarters. The F, G, and H Batteries Bth Brigade Field Artillery, head-quarters Lucknow (July 6, 1866), arrived at IVoolwich yesterday from Shorncliffe. The batteries were respectively commanded by Capt. E. T. Worry, J. W. Collington, and J. H. Brown, and the officers accompanying were as follows : —Copts. and Second-Capts. 0. 11. A. Nicolls, H. de S. Isaacson, and H. D. Evans (the remainder on special service and leave) ; Lieuts. J. R. Poole, H. S. Bowen, L. Tillotson, G. H. Nutting, and W. Hunter ; and assist. -surd. DAvidge and Boulton. The strength of the batteries amounted to about 600 of all ranks. They are destined to proceed to India, as at present stated overland, about August next. Seventy-five non-commissioned officers and gun ners from the head-quarters of Ist division of the depot brigade Royal Artillery have proceeded to Woolwich for the purpose of going through a course of gunnery instruction previously to embarking for foreign service. The 4th and Bth depots at Colchester are about to receive Snider's breech-loading rifle. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Sub-Lieut. R. F. Orton to the Daphne ; and L. 11. Eliot and W. L. Morrison, midshipmen, to the Lord Clyde. THE SPITHEAD FLEET. Yesterday the great fleet anchored at Spithead, under the command of Admiral Sir Thomas Sabine Pasley, weighed from Spithead, and made a grand promenade through the roadstead, and a most suc cessful rehearsal in the Channel, well south of the land, of such evolutions as will most probably be gone through on the day of its review by the Queen on the 17th inst. _ _ All the ships had steam up early in the morning, the larger powered vessels in their after boilers only, and by 9.30 a.m. had hove in their cables to short apeak. At 10 o'clock Sir Thomas Pasley joined the Victoria from his yacht, the Fire Queen, but the ships lay somewhat awkwardly across the anchor age on the change of the tide, and the start was necessarily delayed until 10.30, when the Victoria and Minotaur both had their anchors up to their bows, and a few tirns from the three decker's screw placing her head in the desired direction to the south-east and channelwards, the two flagships steamed ahead as the leaders of the two lines, the remainder of the fleet getting their anchors as quickly as possible, and taking their places iu line and astern of their leaders. Weighing and securing their anchors, and taking up their places in their re- spective lines, occupied some time with the majority of the leewardmost vessels, and it was only some 40 minutes to noon before the leading ships passed the Warner Light-vessel at half speed with half boiler power, the hydraulic Waterwitch bringing up the rear of a somewhat scattered " tail." As the leading ships opened the east end of the Isle of Wight, and steamed out into the Channel majestically in double column with the sun shining brightly along the cheequered sides of the unarmoured line, and reliev- ing the sombreness of the ironclads, the spectacle was one of unsurpassable grandeur. The sea was smooth as the face of a mirror ; a pleasant breeze from the Channel played over the water, and num berless yachts, displaying the burgees of nearly every club in the United Kingdom, flitte I about under snow-white canvass, which almost covered their beautiful hulls from view. The Nab Light-vessel was passed by the leading ships at 11 40 in the fol lowing order : POnT SQUADRON. Terrible, paddle frigate, look-out ship, 1, Victoria, screw three-decker (flagship of Admiral Sir Thomas S. Pasley, Commander-in-Chief) ; 2, Irresistible, screw two-decker ; 3, Donegal, screw two-decker ; 4, Revenge, screw two-decker ; 5, St. George, screw two-decker ; 6, Royal George, screw two decker; 7, Duncan, screw two-decker (broad pen dant of Commodore J. Tarleton, C. 8.) ; 8, Lion, screw two-decker ; 9, Mersey, screw frigate ; 10, Liffey, screw frigate ; 11, Sutlej, screw frigate ; 12, Dauntless, screw frigate. Nymph, screw sloop, re peating ship. STARBOARD SQUADRON (IRONCLADS). Gladiator, paddle, look-out ship. 1, Minotaur, screw frigate (flagship of Rear-Admiral Warden, C. 8., second in command) ; 2, Achilles, screw frigate; 3, Warrior, screw frigate; 4, Black Prince, screw frigate ; 5, Bellerophon, screw frigate ; 6, Lord Clyde, screw frigate ; 7, Valiant, screw frigate ; 8, Pallas, screw frigate ; 9, Royal Sovereign, screw turret-ship ; 10, Prince Albert, screw turret-ship ; 11, Wivern, screw turret-ship ; 12, Research, screw corvette ; 13, Viper, twin-screw gunvessel ; 14, \'ixen, twin-sc rew gunv e ss el ; 15, W a terwitch, hydraulic gunvessel. Daphne, screw sloop, repeat ing ship. The Vivid, paddle yacht, steamed out with the fleet at the head of the columns and between the two flagships, with the First Lord of the Admiralty on board, the Right Hon. Mr. Corry, M.P., ac companied by Vice-Admirals Sir Alex. Milne and Sir Sydney C. Dacres, and Captain Brandreth, It N., private secretary. At noon the pivot position was reached ; the royal yacht Elfin, Lieut. (navigating) Balliston, with his Serene Highness the Prince and Princess Leiningen on board, representing her Majesty's yacht the Vic toria and Albert in position on the day of the re view, was met by the two flag-ships as she lay hove to as the pivot ship for the fleet off the Bullock Patch buoy, Dunnose Head being well open on the star board hand, and the lofty spire of Chichester Cathe dral gleaming brightly above the low-lying land at the base of the Sussex Downs on the port hand. This being the turning point of the fleet's prome nade so far, the Victoria, as the leader of the port lire, wheeled to port and inverted the course of her steaming, and was followed in the manoeuvre by each vessel in her line as she reached the pivot point. The Minotaur wheeled to starboard at the same mo ment as the Victeria wheeled to port, and was fol lowed in a similar manner by each ship in her line or division, as she reached the pivot. The last of the two lines had no sooner wheeled into the inverted course than signal was made to repeat the evolution. and again therefore the huge flagships wheeled to port and starboard, followed by their respective squadrons in Indian file at a cable's length distance. The effect produced was indescribably grand. Four lines of ships were rushing at full speed over a small area of water, the two inner lines steaming in one direction, and the two outer ones in the opposite. The very bias of the waters as the monsters clove their path through them was almost as startling as the a ll"raaQQ of fleet itself, eDgaged, as it ap- peared to be, in making interminable circles. On the second inversion of the course being completed sig nal was made to steer out in two Him; at cable's length distance, S. by E. compass course. At 1.50 p.m. the two flagships had Selsea under their port quarters, with Bognor terraces and esplanade broad open, and showing out strongly under the glare of the sun, and the stone tower of St. Catherine's Light on the southernmost point of the Isle of Wight as broadly open on their starboard quar ters. Signal to invert course and steer N.W. by N. on the return back to Spithead was then made. Again the lines of ships, glittering and writhing throughout their length as they wheeled at the pivot, turned to port and to starboard, and went through the fourfold column figure again before they could lay straight for the land. The majority of the fleet steamed in with half speed at half-boiler power, but some of the Coastguard ships proved laggards, and the two Georges were passed for % time by the Duncan. In the subsequent evolution, however, in making sail on the ships the speed of the leading ships was slackened and the " slow" ones again recovered their former position. About this time the Mersey was observed to be blo wing off steam and loosing her sails as though something was amiss in her engine-room, and was passed by the Liffey. The noble frigate, however, was soon to rights again, and steamed up to her old berth in the line. At about 2.30 p.m. signal was made from the Victoria to make all plain sail, and every mast was soon co vered with canvass from courses to royals, the Vic toria carrying away the palm for smartness. Wind light, from southward and eastward. Course kept for Spithead under steam and canvass, the speed of the slowest necessarily being the gauge of the fleet. At 3 p.m. the Bullock Patch buoy was passed by the central ships of the lines, the wind continuing light, and hauling in more to the southward, the Achilles having fore and main topmast and top gallant studding sails set. At 3 p.m. the two fl ig ships led the way slowly in past the Nab-light vessel, and immediately afterwards signal was made from the flagship of Sir Thomas Pasley for Admiral War- den and his squadron of ironclads to part company and proceed up Channel to the Dover Straits to escort his Imperial Majesty the Sultan across the Channel from France on his visit to England. The Minotaur, with Admiral Warden's flag, the Achilles, the Bellerophon, the Lord Clyde, and the Pallas im mediately steered out of the ironclad line in obe dience to the signal, and, furling sails, stood out to sea under steam, and laid their course up Channel for the narrow strait which, between Dover and Calais, divides England and France. The famous Warrior now became the leading vessel of the ironclad line, with her sister the Black Prince second, and the smart looking Valiant third. At about 3.45 p.m. the ships took in sail to their three topsails.l, and foretopmast staysails, and in grand processional order re-entered the southern channel, leading into Spithead through the narrow gutway between the Warrior light-vessel and the elbow of the Horse Shoal. The sun shone full on the hulls and sails of the ships, and the numerous yachts, steamers, and other craft surrounding the fleet on its return, and this re-entry of the fleet, notwithstanding that it had suffered in numbers by the severance of Ad miral Warden's squadron, was evidently a more striking spectacle to all onlookers in its combination of steam and sail power than was the departure of the fleet under sail alone. So soon as the leading vessels had passed the light ship all sail was furled and the fleet steamed leisurely into Spithead, each ship dropping anchor in her old berth. The fleet, therefore, lies in the two lines at about N.\V. by W., the Victoria holding the S.E. position of the port line, and the same position in the starboard line being reserved for the Minotaur, with Nos. 2, 5,6, and 8 berths for the Achilles, Bellerophon, Lord Clyde, and Pallas, from Dover. Both lines are anchored in the order of yesterday's sailing, and the Terrible, Gladiator, Nymphe, Daphne, Lee, and the gunboat flotilla are all anchored inside the two main lines of the fleet and on the edge of the shoals between the fleet and Portsmouth. All the evolutions were exceedingly well performed, and no noticeable hitch of any kind occurred to mar in any way the efficiency of the day's exercises. The hydraulic Waterwitch naturally attracted consider able notice, and in a certain degree much astonished many by the manner in which she bundled along, and the creditable manner, for such a queer-looking pump, in which she held her berth at the end of the ironclad line. The distances at which the two lines of ships are ancl,or•ed are one and a half cables be tween each vessel, and three cables' length between the two lines. It cannot be admitted that the ironclad squadron of itself gives a very imposing measure of the fighting strength of England upon the waters of the Channel, and especially must this conclusion be apparent if we eliminate from the squadron the smaller vessels, the double-screw gunboats Viper and Vixen, the hydraulic gunboat Water witch, and the sloop Research, all of which are un able, from their low rate of speed, to keep their place in any operations under steam, or to maintain their place creditably in action. If, however, .we accept the view adopted by the First Lord of the Admiralty, and look upon the entire fleet, armoured and unarmoured alike, as a grand exposition of the progress of war-shipbuilding in England from the time of the first application of the screw propeller to the line-of-battle ship, the review of the 17th inst. will be a display of the greatest possible interest, even although we only repeat a part of the story told by the last great naval review, and bring it down to the present day, when we appear to be just settling down in our opinion of what form an ironclad should really be. The forms of the ironclads are pretty well known. Twelve of them, including the three small vessels, are vessels carrying guns on the broadside, although one, the Waterwitch, professes to fire her guns over her bows. The Royal Sove reign, Prince Albert, and Wivern are turret-ships, and very formidable ships for Channel fighting. In the armament of all these vessels at the present moment there is as great a dissimilarity as in their forms. The Minotaur, Warrior, Bellerophon, and Pallas carry the new armament of rifled guns, but the remainder of the squadron carry a mixed armament cf smooth-bores and breech-loading Armstrongs, the Valiant, for instance, having smooth-bore 68-pounders in her main deck battery, with a few 110 and 40-pounder Arm strongs. The four small vessels certainly carry 6f-ton rifled guns, but the size of the vessels and their rate of speed put them altogether out of court in any serious consideration of the strength of the The three turret-ships are squadron as a whole. as yet only partially armed with the 12-ton rifle. This delay in the armament of our ironclads a not owing so much to the want of guns to put on board as the want of proper carriages on which to mount them when they are on board. The manu facture of the carriages, however, is now in so for ward a state that it may reasonably be expected that all the ships may be properly armed during the present year. In the unarmoured squadron the Victoria, in her magnificent beauty and in her speed, has always maintained her reputation as the handsomest and swiftest three-decked steamship ever enrolled on the list of England's navy, while the Revenge, Dun can, and Donegal, present as perfect specimens of the two-decked steamship. The two Georges, the Lion, and the Irresistible, give earlier specimens of ashs c r eN to Among the fill up whenrankscoonfveorsurionws to the s v Lad frigates, what vesse l s can exhibit m p or . e points of beauty than the Liffey, Sutlej, Mersey, Liverpool, or Phoebe, or a s c lip per s l oops of the newest school ' than the Nymphe and Daphne ? All these vessels, however, excepti ng th e N ymp h e and Daphne, which carry 6f-ton rifles, and the Mersey, which carries 10-inch smooth bores, thelnearest approach we have to the American system, carry artillery that is harmless when opposed to the sides of an ironclad, while their unprotected hulls would tutu them into volcanoes when practised upon by the latter's mon ster shells. Beauty of form, indeed, does not lie exclusively with the unarmoured ships, for ugly as many of our ironclads are in outward appearance, there are several that will vie with the best looking of the unarmoured squadron, and thus combine the maximum of usefulness and beauty of form, notwith standiDg their sombre dress of pack paint, The Warrior, Black Prince, Achilles, and Bellerophon are sufficiently handsome to please the eye of the most fastidious in such matters. While on the sub ject of good looks in a ship of war, we may venture an opinion on the Achilles and Mersey as being each the handsomest as well as the noblest specimens of the armoured and unarmoured of England's war ships. There is yet one more ship in the fleet which deserves notice in this place the paddle frigate Terrible. Built at Deptford in 1847, from Mr. Laing's designs, she was then, and remains to this day, with her battery of 95 cwt. 68-pounders, the most formidable paddle vessel of war afloat. Of course, the clothing of ships with iron has sadly shorn her of her glory, but she remains a brave ex ample of our skill of 20 years ago. The assemblage of the screw-liner Coastguard squadron at Spithead as part of the Review fleet will rub the rust off both officers and men belong ing to them, and drive away the ennui which neces sarily clings to them in their humdrum life in the various out-of-the way-harbours and rivers around the coasts of the United Kingdom. The most satisfactory feature of all connected with the coming Review is the presence in the fleet of the thousand officers and seamen of the Royal Naval Reserve. This fact will tend to rivet closer the connecting link between the Royal and mercan tile navies of England; at the same time it is a graceful acknowledgment on the part of the Admi ralty of the value of our Naval Reserves. 711 E AMERICAN CRIMEA. The New Monthly Magazine for July betrays in an article on MAXIMILIAN in Mexico the secret spring which moved the ruling .minority of the Western Powers of Europe to regard almost with hostility the Government of Washington while engaged in the war for the preservation of the Union. According to that authority, the United States is the Russia of the West, and Mexico is its " sick man." The Mexican question is of greater interest than that of Turkey, and the American Republic is a greater colossus than the Muscovite empire. Viewed in this light, the magazine says " it will be understood how any support given by Europe to MAXIMILIAN'S Empire would have become the means of averting a future Crimean war upon a vast scale, and of postponing that war in the New World, and that formidable struggle for supremacy at sea, which must inevitably one day arise between the New and the Old Worlds, and which at present the timidity and irresolution of European Govern ments rather serve to hurry on than to postpone to an indefinite period." There were many who held while the struggle between the North and South was progressing that it would have been a wise policy on the part of France and England to inter fere, so as to secure, if possible, the severance of the Republic. They hoped to see America break up into fragments, having hostile interests to each other, that might hereafter be used as a balance to neutralise the growing power of any portion of the States, and secure in the future their own ascendancy. They dreaded the inevitable fight between the New and the Old World, that formidable truggle for the supremacy at sea. There were many who urged on both the European Governments the policy of inter vention—of doing harm that good might come of it. It is in vain that history unfolds the chapters of errors which make up the lives of nearly all states men. The very Crimean War, to which the maga zine alludes, when it predicts for America another, was a gross blunder, which at a frightful ex penditure attained absolutely no beneficial result. We believe that the mission of Russia in Northern Asia is a mission of good ; beneficial alike to the native tribes and to the world. We believe that the mission of the United States in North America is a mission of still greater good ; not only benefi cial to that continent, but of unspeakable utility to mankind. With the example of the jarring na tionalities and tongues of Europe before them, the dream of the American is--the sovereignty of the continent, under one people. Let any man try to realise this idea, and he obtains a glimpse of a truly grand destiny. It may, in truth, never be realised practically, for the wickedness of mankind may foil the wis3st schemes of the greatest statesmen. But few will deny that it is a thing worth striving for, and that it is no mere hallu cination of the brain, but a future in the highest a 3/ h r d m / h it? allow co n that eede t h t a h t is t is h e t r h e e s a i n h 'svision, degree p rac ti ca bl e. Even the writer in the New Republicwill is no in the and eon t a n p s r e m a dosr more from than P o a n n e a h m u a n d t r o e d t n e nation's ambiti on. But, he • , will add, when the most energetic race, i ts power willovershadow iu l i Ip c i y ouln r os e u g os i lf o ytt n hht s oe world, and it will use th at e , ns, poweru dictate and to domineer. He takes it for granted that the nation will act the bully's part, and basing his policy on this axiom, he contends that it would have been wise to have aided the South •in the war, or, failing that, to have transferred the contest to Mexico, and have upheld the EMPEROR at the bayonet's point. Most of those stupendous blun ders which exercise so pernicious an influence are worked out from premises altogether false, though unhesitatingly taken as altogether true. Whether America, when her power has grown to such unequalled might, will use it, or rather abuse it—as her enemies take it for granted she will do—time only can show. The probabiliti es are against the assertion. Generosity is coupled with strength. The Republic never bullies the weak. Where she feels inclined to fight, it is with her equals. Where she assumes a haughty tone, it is towards those with whom she stands on a par ; but in no case with her inferiors. Touchy and scrupu lous as America is with Great Britain and France, there is no Power more generous, forbearing, and forgiving when brought into disagreeable con tact with the weak. When the contem plated destiny of tha Republic is fulfilled, all nations will then be weak to her ; and we cannot see why she, alone, on a pinnacle, with none to dispute her place, should descend to pick a quarrel, to bully those manifestly unable to defend themselves against her. We believe that the influence that America will then exercise will be used impartially in the right, and be productive of great good on earth. We can understand the at tempt of France to establish in Mexico a Latin balance to the dominant power of the Anglo-Saxon race. But we cannot see why this object should be aided by England, the cradle of that race. We believe the policy of the writer in the New Monthly, and those that agree with him, to be founded on a fals3 theory—to be paltry and narrow minded, and wholly opposed to sound policy. If we thought less of this little island of Britain and more of the great race to which we belong, we would see the future through a brighter medium ; and while the contracted ideas of the former tend to vast evils, by making the two great sections of our race antagonistic, the those of latter, in recognising and preserving their unity, conserve the ends of peace and progress. But the truth is that the writer and the party to which he belongs lose sight of these magnificent aims in their paltry political jealousies. Class interest with them is paramount. A republic erected on the equal rightsof all militates against theircherished notions, and every opportunity lost of strangling the American monster i s a great chance thrown away. We rejoice to think that America begins clearly to understand who the people are who hate her, and why—and to of the claw and the motives, separate the enmity ss from the general designs of the c , Enalish people and country. Nothing could be more grossly absurd, more suicidal in its folly, than the prediction of that formidable struggle for the supremacy at sea which the writer declares to be inevitable. It would, of course, be inevitable if such notions as his pre vailed. But why should the two sections of the Anglo-Saxon race Bet to work to cut each other's throats for a mere idea ? the supremacy being surely awarded to the nation of greatest resources which uses its resources to the best advantage. It is industry and commerce, not war, that decide this question, and if the supremacy did pass into the hands of our kindred, what injury would accrue to the English section of the race if the seas were covered with the American flag. While the tone of the article is so hostile to the United States, the writer almost inadvertently fur nishes an instance of the enormous benefits that follow to the region 'incorporated into the Great THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 11, 1867 Republic. California under the rule of Spaniards and Mexicans lay a dead, inanimate waste. Incor porated as a State of the Union, cities have been erected, mines developed, fields cultivated, railways constructed, and ships employed. A great territory was opened to the superabundant industry of China, and gold that vivified and supported commerce was poured over the globe. While acknowledging this result the writer sees nothing in American inter ference in Mexico but a grasping ambition, which it is the duty of the world to resist. There were three who benefited by the transfer of California to the States. In the first degree, California her self ; in the second degree, the United States ; in the third degree, the world. Can the writer inform us who lost by the transaction ? No ; but he can bring his little brains to sketch out the future in the hands of PROVIDENCE; and he, who knows not what an hour will bring forth, predicts what the feelings will be of unborn generations, urging the necessity of neutralising what he shows to be good in the present, not that he fears it will be bad for mankind in the future, but for his own class and his own little island. We wish that Europeans would take a broader view of American affairs identifying them selves in a greater degree with the American people, and at least glancing at the landscape seen from the Republican stand-point. They will see there more than they expected. A wide-spreading area of civi lisation, which, beyond the squabbling, corruption, and shortcomings of the present, displays in the dis tance vast regions, where good-will reigns and plenty abounds. It is well to keep this object before us, and not endeavour, while seeking the most paltry ends in the present, to retard the grand conceptions of the future.—Anglo-Amenican 7imes. THE LIBERALS IN MEXICO. -.'--- It is not easy to estimate how far we are ruled by sentiment. The volley that terminated the life of MAXIMILIAN and his Empire in Mexico may have appeared an ordinary affair to JUAREZ and those around him accustomed to such scenes. Pro bably he knows nothing of the feelings that actuate the civilised world, and, therefore, of the effect likely to be produced by the crime to which his Indian nature urged the perpetration. While little understanding the horror and disgust the cowardly atrocity would excite among all Christian nations, he may have strongly felt the pressure of the wolves by whom he was surrounded. Whatever may have been the motives, it is now certain that he, as the head of the Republic of Mexico, has sanctioned and carried out an act called for by the voice of his party, and in this, humanly speaking, he has sealed the fate of his country. If Mexico were not rich in the gifts of nature to an extraordinary degree it is probable that the name would cease to be men tioned, and Europeans become as careless of what passed in that barbarous and blood-stained region as they are of the thoughts and deeds of the more noble savages inhabiting Timbuctoo. But the world does not chose that the gifts of PROVIDENCE to mankind should be shut up from the human race in this wild beast's den. The Empire was a protest against a barbarism and cruelty that disgraced humanity, and its closing scene was the strongest proof of the necessity of a powerful intervention. Whatever may have b een M A XIMILIAN'S shortcout ings, he honestly and legitimately strove to improve the Empire, and t o b enef i t t h e coun t r y he was in vited to rule. In this he was nobly aided by his wife, who freely gave up her time to distribute bounty on an Imperial scale from her privy purse. That the one shbuld be bereft of life and the other of reason, is but a fitting return for Mexico to give. The very nobility of the act which induced MAXI MILIAN to decline a return to a splendid position in Europe that he might share the fate of his partisans in Mexico would, had a ray of generosity lightened the minds of his opponents, have enabled them to view his conduct with the admiration it elsewhere excited. Ue freely risked his life in war ; he freely shared both the dangers and privations of the meanest of his soldiers ; he fought not only with the chances of the battle-field, but also with the fate overhanging him that if taken he would be executed. Though MAXIMILIAN appears to have known this, it was difficult for people in Europe to believe that such an intention could have been carried into effect. Free from the passions of the contest we may be too apt to argue the question from a common-sense point of view. The folly of the deed was here transparently apparent, but the vindictive feelings which urged its perpetration were hidden. With the fall of Queret aro an d th e cap ture of MAXIMILIAN fell the empi re. • Th e Arch duke had only remained after Marshal BAZAINE had left, to satisfy his honour. He was prepared to accept the decision of the sword, renouncing all claim to the throne of Mexico, and thus recovering, what 'vas of greater value, the rights he bad re linquished for it, as next Agnate of Austria, to which he was restored by a decree of a council of the Imperial family. The war was ended—the question of the Empire was settled the Re public was restored. There was then no political object, no necessity either by way of example or of terror to perpetrate this crime. On the other hand, the reasons for treating with MAXIMILIAN and dismiss ing him from Mexico were overwhelmingly strong. All Europe joined in the application. The civilised world was interested to a degree which J UAREZ and his followers may perhaps hereafter estimate. It may he that they chose in the plenitude of their arrogance and folly to set the verdict of mankind at defiance. Here was the firet great question before the restored Republic—that which attracted the attention of all nations, and by which they would judge of its fitness to rule. It was but a simple act of common expediency, a concession to Chris tendom, involving a mere sacrifice of cruelty and revenge that the world asked of this noble Republic in sparing the life of a fallen enemy. JUAREZ and his party solved all doubts and settled all disputed points by not only shooting MAXIMILIAN, but by ! refusing to surrender, even the gra tifi ca ti on th a t i such low natures can derive, of heaping indignities on the corpse. If such things as JUAREZ were not so despicable, they would injure the great cause of iLiberty and Republicanism. But all parties agree i in putti ng ou t o f pale the acts of these mongre l savages, as dictated by the lowest feelings of jealousy, i cupidity, revenge, and cruelty, which involve no principles. Were it not f or a grand quest i on the miserable race that inh a bi ts M exico wou ld s i n k into utter obscurity, and be left unnoticed to wreck on each other the punishment they deserve. But the singular infatuation which has led to this crime is the strangest part of the story. It is said that it is the intention of the United States to absorb Mexico. That the JUAREZ party dread this is quite evident. The United States would act in this mat ter only on a basis of reason and legality. So long as a Republic existed in Mexico, governing so as not to bring disgrace on the institutions which it is the mission of the U n i ted States to up h o ld an d perpe tuate, R tuate, the Great Republic could not have moved in the matter. It was n ecessar y for the Liberal party to bring the i n t ervention on themse l ves , an d thi s they could ha ve avoided by simply a b s t a i n i ng f rom needless folly and cruelty. But so to abstain ap pears to be an impossibility with the ignoble class that rule in M ex i co. No sooner ha d th e G rea t Re public raised t he JUAREZ party :man the mire into which they had been hurled, and removed every obstacle from their path, than the ingrati tude showed itself inseparable from such partizan chiefs who seize power, as robbers seize an isolated dwelling, to tyrannise and plunder, but for an hour. The earnest request of the Government of Washington, to spare MAXIMILIAN was not only un h eeded, but purpos ely set at de fiance. i nso l ent speeches were ma de by th e Liberal leaders, threatening a march on Washing ton, and the recovery of provinces wrung by treachery or necessity from Mexico. These poor creatures who could make no head against a few battalions of the French army, and were only enabled by the forge of bribery to overthrow MAXIMILIAN, had the audacity to assume this tone to the nation at whose breath they exist. The United States h a d made them, an d th e U n it e d States can un ma k e. When is the on l y ques ti on f or Ithe council at Washington. The world knows that Mexicans are wholly unfit to develope the resources bestowed by nature on their country, and the tuiiversol voice Of map kiad seems agreed on this that the sooner the United States move in the matter the better. It is not always that we agree with our great contemporary the Times, but we hold with it in its leading article of yesterday, when it says :—‘, We cannot but believe that after so many years of anarchy and political vengeance the cup of Mexican evil-doing is well-nigh full, and that the time ap proaches when the land must be possessed by an abler, a nobler, and a better race."—Anglo- American Times. THE MURDER AT ALBANY. The following account was given by the New York Tribune as General Cole's version to his inti mate friends of the troubles that led to his encounter with Mr. Hiscock :--" Fifteen years ago Dr. Cole married Miss Barto of Trumansburg, New York, daughter of the late Judge Barto. It was a love match, and for 12 years their home was the scene of unalloyed happiness. Within two or three years, however, the husband had noticed that his wife was at times moody and unhappy. He could not ac count for it. He had sent his wife $15,000 during the war, and she now possesses $lO,OOO in her own right, left to her by her father's will. He consulted her friends and his, but could arrive at no conclu sion. He was compelled by his duties to reside at or near New York, and he determined to bring his wife to Brooklyn, where she might be near her sister, and there he engaged and furnished rooms. Meanwhile he visited Syracuse and met Mr. Hiscock in the street. Mr. H. asked him, ' Why, general, when did you come ? When shall you go away ?" He thought the latter question a singular one, and then at once remembering that the same ques tion had been asked him on several previous oc casions, said nothing, but looked his questioner full in the face, and Mr. Hiscock turned away down cast, and without a word. Returning to Brooklyn, brooding over the matter, he wrote to a cousin of his wife's, with whom she resided, asking if there had ever been any rumour in Syracuse prejudicial to his wife. The reply came, ' There is room for the gravest suspicion.' Almost frenzied, he has tened to Syracuse, and there, when he questioned her, his wife fell on her knees and confessed that a criminal intercourse had existed between herself and Mr. Hiscock for nearly three years. it made him almost crazy, to u•ie his own words. All day on Thursday he stayed in the house, lest he should meet Hiscock in the street and kill him. On the day of the murder, with his wife and Mr. and Mrs. Cuyler, he started for Brooklyn. They were necessarily compelled to stop at Albany, and while there he thought he should be happier if it were settled in some way, and was off his mind.' He sent for his brother-in-law, Mr. Barto, a member of the Constitutional Convention, and asked him to go with him- to see Mr. Hiscock, pledging his word that he would not take his life, but would only " make him get down on his kness and beg like a dog for it." This Mr. Barto refused to do, and said that he had no advice to give in the matter. It should be stated here that Mr. Barto and General Cole have not been friendly ever since the latter took a commission in the first of General Butler's coloured cavalry regiments. Thus left to himself, the frenzied man started for Stanwix Hall, intending to go quietly in by the side entrance, in quire the number of Iliscock's room, and go up to it. But as he went in he saw the seducer of his wife before him, a frenzy seized him, and without a moment's thought he fired. Although - the act was not premeditated, he thinks it was justifiable, and expresses no remorse for it. _ _ His wife is now in Albany and administers to his wants, visiting him daily. lie professes to con sider her a guilty woman, but not as guilty as the man he shot. The prejudicial features of the case are the statement written by himself as above, the letter written by his wife at his dictation, the manner in which he approached his victim, and his false statements as to the cause of his action, made upon the spot and immediately afterward. For he now con fesses that there was no violence used, and that this plea was gotten up by him for the purpose of shielding his wife and children. On the other hand, there is no doubt but that his able counsel (lir. Hadley and General Butler, the latter of whom is the prisoner's warm friend), will make the most of his terrible pro vocation, and the undeniably brilliant war record of General Cole. Investments in the United States. The Union Pacific Railroad Co. advertise for sale their First Mortgage Bonds, having 30 years to run, bearing annual interest, payable on the Ist days of January and July, in the City of New York, at the rate of 6 per cent., in gold, which bonds they offer at 90 cents. in the dollar, receiving the paper money a n d pay i ng t h e interest cap ital in in bullion. As the Tenth Section of 40 miles h a s been passed by the Government Commis sioners and accepted by the President, 345 miles of the road have been completed west from Omaha, fully equipped, with trains regularly run ning over it. The Company stat e th a t t h ey have no w on hand sufficient iron, ties, &c., to finish the portion which remains to the eastern base of :the Rocky Mountains, 172 miles in length, which is contracted to be completed by the Ist September next, and they expect that the entire road from O m aha to the Western ( connection with the Cen tral Pacific, now being built e as t war d from Sacra mento, California, will be in running order dur ing 1870, or three years h ence. T hey estimate the whole line at 1,565 miles. The cos t o f the portion now finished, with depots, stations, locomotives, &c., was $50,000 per mile, and they believe, from the reports of their engineers, that without the equipment the remainder can be completed at an expense not exceeding 70,000 per m ile, making the total for 1,565 miles, from Omaha to the California boundary, about $100,000,000. The Chicago and North Western Railroad has been completed to Omaha, making a direct Eastern connection with all the A t l ant i c States. The co mpany divide their means for construction under three heads. In the first place, the United States issue on the completion and ac ceptance of each sectio n o f 20 m i les, by Govern ment commissioners, 6 per cent. 30 year Bonds, at an average rate of about $28,250 per mile. Next, the company are permitted by the Government to issue First Mortgage Bonds to the same amount ; third, a donation is given by the Government of 12,800 acres of land per mile, in aid, amounting in the aggregate to 20,032,000 acres, which may be va lued at $4 per acre. This gives a total of about $118,500,000, while the estimate of the whole cost is but $ 1 00,000,000. This is exclusive of the authorised capital stock of $100,000,000, of which five millions have already been paid in, and not more than twe n ty-fi ve m illi ons w ill be required. By a special Act of Congress, the United States Bonds are made a second mortgage, the first mort gage being the company's own issue. The interest on the second mortgage is paid by the United States Treasury, but one-half of the company's bills against the Government for transportation, mails, &e., are retained by its officers as a sinking fund, to be applied to the payment of interest on capital. It is impossible to estimate what the profits will be on the entire line when finished—a line which will in truth revolutionise the tide of travel. But enough can be gathered from the actual working of the portion opened to show how enormous the profits will be. The earnings for the two first weeks in May on the finished sections amounted to the sum of $113,000. The extra ordinary advance in the milling prospects of the Pacific States foretels the immense trade likely to be developed by this railway when it penetrates to the line of California. From the mines opened on the Comstock Lode at Virginia city, Nevada, bullion exceeding in value $64,000,000 has been taken since 1862. Seven tons of the precious metals were shipped from th_.t city during the week ending May 4, valued at $439,192, and the Enterprise calcu lates that Virginia city will export $2,000,000 per month in gold and silver bullion, while it considers that there is more reason to predict a large increase than a reduction during the summer. The Salt Lake Vedette states that a number of heavy bricks from the Illinois ledge of the mines of Pahrangat had caused an excitement in the city of the Morraonis, Tile Yellow Jacket declared a dividend for last May of $75 in gold per foot ; the Savage Silver Mining Company, $2OO per foot ; the Chollar Potosi Silver Mining Company, $25 per foot ; and the Imperial Silver Mining Company, $lO per share. We cannot tell what this rate per annum is. But in November last year, the Yellow Jacket, the Savage, and the Imperial paid at the rate respectively of 360, 888, 780 per cent. per annum on the subscribed capital, and for January and February the Savage divided at the rate of 814 per cent. per annum, and the Imperial for January gave at the rate of 783 per cent. per annum, and for February at the rate of 1,175 per cent. per annum, and we believe the May dividends to be in excess of these enormous returns. These facts may give capitalists in England an idea of the value of the Union Pacific Railroad, as well as of the richness of t►he country through which it will penetrate. The bonds are not offered for sale in England, for Americans do not come to Europe to raise capital for their most paying enterprises, although, of course, they are willing to receive capital for these undertakings if it comes from Europe to them. They leave capitalists here to discover the value of the investment offered, and while money is a drug in the British metropolis, lacking confidence as that metropolis does in the security of the great English lines and other concerns, it would, we believe, be well worth the while of English investors narrowly to inquire into the fields open in the United States. The British public may not generally be aware that there are two lines running westward to the Rocky Mountains. The first, of which we have written is from Omaha, and the other starts from Leaven worth on the Missouri River. The former is com pleted, as we stated, 345 miles, and the latter 210. Both are constructed on the same financial system, and will join before penetrating into the Rocky Mountains. —An glo- Anzel ican Times. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—The Reform Bill has now arrived'at that interesting stage when it is natural to ask how it will stand, how it will look, and how it will answer its purpose. These questions, though different in the matter of the inquiry, are but one as to the result, for it is necessary the bill should satisfy all these conditions. It must be well drawn, it must satisfy the eye, and it must do its work. Strange as it may seem, and ill as it may accord with the practical and common-sense character England specially affects, a regard for appearances is the first consideration. The argument, in its most critical passages, has always taken a specious turn, it being assumed on all sides that as to abstract right there was none, equality of privilege was out of the ques tion, a uniform system a chimera, and that the only way was to talk over the matter till something was hit upon likely to give general satisfaction. The one thing to be avoided was the weakness or want of finish that invites attack. The Conservatives, above all, are interested in making the new constitution of the house a complete defence against further change, and a practical reply to those who employ, and even create, a cry for Reform as the road to power. For a good many years to come the natural and proper objection to re-open a difficult subject will operate in their favour; but if they stand th e i r ground ag a i ns t every ot h er hostile device the old cry will be raised. It becomes necessary, therefore, to anticipate the cry by making the system, if not per fect, at least plausible, and capable of a telling, if not always logical, defence. Moreover, it is an advan tage to secure the suffrages of all sides, as the cir cumstances must have much altered before the very builders of the new house can decently insist on the destruction of their own work, or of the work to which they have lent a willing hand. Already, as in reason, this sort of consideration has had full play, the house having frequently been reminded of what it had settled and done so far, and how on no account it ought lawhtto depart from its own lines. The bill once this appeal will for many years be con clusive and irresistible, unless it should present any extraordinary or unexpected weakness. Where is this weakness likely to be? We may form some conjecture from the past. For the greater part of the period since 1832 the figures of the existing sys tem, or its " hard sharp lines," as they have come to be called, have been under annual challenge and scrutiny. The county and borough franchises have been put on their defence, the latter not only as to the figure, but as to the ratepaying conditions. All figures are now abandoned in the borough fran chise, and in the county they ar© so low that we may safely anticipate they will not be attacked for a long time. So far as regards the franchise, it will be long before a considerable number of candi dates, otherwise weighty, find themselves beaten at the polling booth by the exclusion of respectable but unqualified supporters. So far the pale of the Constitution will not be found narrow. But in this otherwise natural and substantial and deeply founded construction there are still several points of an obtrusively, and to many offensively, artificial character. All the small boroughs that did return one member return one still, notwithstanding a storm of political disfranchisment that has mulcted a good many boroughs over their heads, and a tem pest of judicial disfranchisement that has abolished four flagrant offenders. The small boroughs have antiquity in their favour, besides more recondite or more practical pleas ; but it is easy to foresee that they will have to behave very well indeed, with al most stiperhumau virtue, and with even more wisdom than virtue, if they are to hold their own against. inevitable assault. In their ease purity will be almost as dangerous as the other thing, for the spectacle of a very minute constituency sitting down to consider on perfectly disinterested grounds who is the best man and the soundest politician of several candidates will look presumptuous, if not ridiculous. Should these small boroughs do as most of them have done before, and invite wealthy strangers to break the chains of local influence, they will find themselves pursued by the manes of the feur disfranchised boroughs, besides a good many other political ven geances and ambition s . T he next artificial point, which has not the prestige of antiquity or even a show of reason, except a round decimal figure, is that which defines the boroughs to be deprived of one scat. This artificial b.,irrier of 10,000 was on Monday the scene of a conflict, which, earlier in the Session, might have spread to formidable dimensions. Four seats were the prizes of the contest, and there appeared four different batches of candidates. Their appropriation involved a discussion of the merits and claims, first, of the four proposed boroughs to which they were promised in the bill, and whose names were in its schedule ; secondly, of the four very large constituencies to which third members had been promised under a ministerial concession to the wishes of the house ; thirdly, of the four boroughs just over the line of 10,000, and only just saved by that figure from the mass of partial disfranchisement ; fourthly, of the four boroughs lowest in the list,and containing, each of them, a few hundred more than three thou sand. Nothing could be more pleasant than the discussion, for the house was in that mood that it would listen to nobody who was not either very weighty or very amusing, and several of the borcughs involved in the controversy have cause to complain that insult has been added to injury in their case, if injury there be in their exclusion. But the ques tion of stopping at the exact figure of 10,000 will not always be discussed in so happy a vein, or in the second week of July, or as the top stone of a Reform Bill. There must inevitably come occa sions when the rivalry between four such parties of competitors will be somewhat keener, and when the arguments urged the other day will receive large accessions from time and changed circumstances. If our countrymen were really mathematical in their politics, and admirers of symmetry, as well as personally ambitious of the franchise, they would quarrel first with the anomaly of a good many boroughs returning one member for five thousand inhabitants, and other boroughs returning only one for a hundred thousand or more. But as Parlia ment has not made the anomaly, and has, indeed, mitigated it, public opinion, and even opinion that is popular rather than public, takes it very easy. It is otherwise with the figures to which we have alluded, and which the House already confesses to have been placed too low. Member after member rises from the Opposition benches to deliver his conscience on this point, and to declare that, for his part, he had rather have put the line at 12,000. Such confes sions are too late for any immediate use, but they show where the ground is open for future assault, and what is the weakness of this bill. They leave the question open in of der to revive it when oppor tunity offers. What that opportunity may be no one can say, nor, on the other hand, is it possible to say what will not come. At the date of the last Reform Act it could hardly have been foreseen that the Con servatives would recover their lost ground, and be broken up on the question of Free Trade, the result being a close balance between two great aristocratic parties, requiring the intervention cf a new Reform Bill to turn the scale. Two contingencies will re open the question. If the Liberals should find them selves beaten in the House, the . ) , will make a fresh appeal for its reform. On the other hand, if war come, or employment fail, or other adversity befall us, then there will be that cry and pressure from without which latterly we have conic to regard as a thing of the past. It cannot be disguised that the self-organisation of labour against capital has ac quired'ditnengions and aims beyond the thought of the last age. Will combinations embracing hundreds of thousands be always content with the laws made by the representatives of small decayed or decaying towns, returned by virtue of " hard sharp lines," and occupying the place of populous towns, the seats of flourishing manufactures? We have now' abandoned invidious distinctions in one part of our representative system, retaining them where they are vastly more important. In what direction shall we move on? Will it be in the line of further compro mise, or of mathematical symmetry ? Certainly We have not discarded arithmetic. Figures stand out in this question with even more than their old pro minence; and if it should be thought important to be well represented in Parliament, there are now a good many towns, and some millions of people, who know that with immense arithmetical rights they are the victims of arithmetical disfranchisement.
