Naval and M•litary. The long-promised extra pay to the army is still the principal topic of conversation in the Alder shott Camp. The troops have waited in vain fer some official intimation than the recommendations of the Recruiting Commi3sion::ra be carned out, and the di2content is loud in general. The effect of the delay must be greatly to injure the ser vice, many of the time-expired men having taken their discharge rather than longer endure the sus pense of uncertainty. Some inducements must be pro!nptly held out if valuable men of this clan are to be retained in the army, and it Ia thought, if in addition to 3d. extra per day the ten-years' men were allowed to begin their second period of service with a clean defaulter's sheet a great many of them would rejoin. Although there is murmuring on the subject of the extra pay, the restriction of flogging to a few offences has given great satisfaction in the camp, but the delay in the issue of prize-money may still be reckoned, among the causes which pre vent recruits from joining the army.

What is called the logic of facts is received with great deference in France, and the eloquence of facts is recognised in England even when we care nothing about their logic. The last voyage of the Greek blockade runner Arkatli is full of a vast deal both of logic and eloquence which ►uay be introduced into the study of the mystery called the Eastern question. Here are the facts. Your reade:s can supply the logic and the eloquence that are wanted for themselves without trouble, fur they are not far to seek. On the 11th the Arkadi sailed from Syria, and reached the western coast of Crete before sunset. As soon as it was dark, and her grey hull could glide near her enemies and escape notice from all but very wary and watchful eyes, she steamed to the little port of Loutro, in Sphakia, where she found a Turkish frigate at anchor. She then turned back westward and approached Aghia Roumeli, where she saw a Turkish man-of-war coming down from Suia. There was therefore nothing to be done but to get out of the way ; so the Arkadi stood out to sea and avoided notice. She escaped observation, and, as no time was to be lost, she soon came back to the coast eastward of Loutro. She found a Turkish corvette anchored at Frangho-kastelli, and again put about, running into Vouva, a creek between Loutro and Frangho-kastelli, though these two anchorages are not ten miles apart. It was absolutely necessary that the cargo should be landed in this neighbourhood to insure its imme diate transport to a safe depot in the Sphakian mountains. About midnight all hands, assisted by a body of men who seemed to rise out of the earth on shore, were busily employed discharging the cargo. When two-thirds were landed the cor vette had got up steam and the frigate was seen coming out of Loutro, so that the Arkadi was com pelled to hoist up her boats and run out to sea be tween 1 and 2 a.m. of the 13th. t T ships considered themselves near enough to fire a few shots at the Arkadi, which steamed westward at a moderate rate speed, drawing after her the frigate and corvette as far as Cape Krio. About 3 a.m. a Turkish gunboat was met, and on a signal from the frigate joined in the chase. The Arkadi then put on all steam and ran away to the north-west, but as soon as she was out of sight of her pursuers she bore away to the south-east, and passed in the rear of the Turkish ships, gaining her former anchor age at Vouva. Before half-past 8 a.m. the remain der of her cargo was landed. She then proceeded eastward to Korakas, where the captain had learnt that a number of families collected at Rodakino were waiting to be embarked for Greece. A number of women and children were taken on board, two Turkish men of war hove in sight, and the Arkadi steamed off to'the eastward, closely pur sued until she was under a full head of steam, when she lost sight of her parsuer.=, and by sailing round the island of Crete returned to Syra at nine o'clock on the morning of the IGth of May. The captain of the Arkadi during this voyage is a Psaroite officer named Kotzia, who has given re peated proofs of his able seamanship in sailing ves sels, and who displayed the same enterprise and cool courage when commanding the Panhellenion. The speed of the Arkadi and the skill with which she is handled render her escape easy, and if the Greeks possessed two such vessels the Turkish fleet would he unable to prevent the Syra blockade-run ners from carrying supplies to the insurgents in Crete with as much regularitj as the Cunard steamers carry her Majesty's mails to America. On Monday (20th) I visited Candia in the Aus trian Lloyd's steamer. I found there seven Turkish steam transports, which had brought troops and supplies. Omar Pasha after the failure of his attack on Sphakia moved eastward, first to the fortress of llettimo, and then to the district of Mylopotamo, which embraces the northern slopes of Mount Ida. Some skirmishing took place in the vicinity of Meli doni and at Damasto. The wounded of the Turkish army, some 16 or 17 in number, were sent down to the coast and landed from a steamer at Candia on Sunday night. For the present the troops are said to be healthy, but I saw a quantity of bread landed from the transports at Candia which looked as if it was intended to make a change in this respect, and if Omar Pasha wishes to keep his army in a good sanitary condition, he must look better after thebread contract and some other administrative trifles. The climate of Crete is delicious at this season of the year, and the snow stilt forms a crown of more than a thousand feet in breadth on Mount Ida, and covers the sides of the summits of the Sphakian or White Mountains. The 600 Mainote volunteers who establshed them selves at Lasethe have been joined by upwards of a thousand armed insur,gents, and the Turks will find it extremely difficult to dislodge them from the strong position they occupy. There is still a patch of snow i.,iUlc on the hight.st peak of Lasethe, which rises to the height of 7,100 feet, as indicated in Captain Spratt's map. In order to qu It the insurrection blare diplo macy takes the matter oat of his hands, Oinar Pasha mu,t employ his military force with as mach skill and vigour as Captain Kotzia handles the Atkadi. At present this is far from being the case. The Ar kadi landed the Mainote volunteers, with a cargo of rifles, ammunition, and cores, at the bay of Sitia, near the ea3t end of the island. A boat brought the news to Camila, having a favourable wind the same night. A force might have been sent off in a steamer sufficient to occupy the isthmus of Mira bella, and shut tip the volunteers in the eastern corner of Crete, where there would have been no difficulty in destroying them. But, instead of im mediately despatching a f orce by sea, two days were wasted in deliberation, and then troops were marched by land to the Bay of Mirabella, where the island is only seven miles broad. Of course, they were too late. The volunteers had already been joined by a body of insurgent C retans, who received arms and ammunition, and, collecting up wards of 500 horses and mules, conveyed every thing iu safety into the stronghold they now occupy, which they may succeed in holding during the whole summer against any force Omar can lead or send against them. When I left Candia on Monday evening it was believed that Omar Pasha would arrive there on Tues.lay ; but when I reached Canea on Tuesday morning I found that it was behoved there that he would return to Apokorona and make another at tack on Sphakia in person. The force under his command is generally said to be about 25,000 men, and of these about 5,000 are native Cretans. Some of the Egyptians in Candia were mere boys, but the greater part of the force is composed of good troops. Miscellaneous Foreign News, (Fronz - the Anylo-Aieriean Times.) Pan's, May 30. The " gay" city, as Paris is usually called, has, indeed, put on holiday attire, and is looking its very best. Every one of the countless throng is bent on pleasure, and has come for amusement, not business. Its broad clean streets and handsome blocks of palaces impress many strangers who are now here for the first time. The Exhibition is, of course, the great and absorbing topic, viewed from many points—whether the individual may be a simple gazer at the pretty things, an anxious exhi bitor, or an ardent patriot, jealous for the superior excellence of his own nationality. All are inte rested, and the daily increasing crowds, and the stirring life around, add to the general excitement. Crowned heads have assembled, drawn by peaceful influence in such numbers that a stranger dropped as a meteorite from the heavens might. sup pose that some weighty questions were now being settled in Paris on which the fate, not only of Europe, but of the entire world, was concerned. The latest news tells us that not only the Emperor of Russia, the Sultan of Turkey, the Pasha of Egypt are to join the illustrious throng, but last, but by no means least—to those who love to gaze on royalty—the Emperor of China, that ruler of the Celestial Empire, cannot withstand the Magnetic influences. Would that a Congress might assemble, seizing so good an occasion, to de termine to wage war no more against each other, and to regard the instruments of warfare, exhibiting speci mens simply of man's ingenuity, but utterly value less for all practical purposes. If the inspection of the Great Show engrosses the day, balls, parties, entertainments of all kinds engross the night, and it will take some time before those who have fully entered into the giddy whirl will be able to settle down to the realities of everyday life. The last reception of the season to be given at the residence of General Dix, our United States Minister, was held on Saturday night last, and no better proof of its being a delightful entertainment can be given when I say it was sometime after 12 o'clock before the guests could tear themselves away, forgetting in the enjoyment of Ow evening that Sunday morning had overtaken them whilst " trip ping the light fantastic toe" to merry music. The races, theatres, fries, operas, &c., I am sorry to say, continue the same on that day in Paris as on any other, as if really there was " no rest for the wicked." But, to return to the reception of last Saturday night, it was really a very grand affair, and more numerously attended than any hitherto held. To give an idea of the distinguished persons present, or of the dresses, is a task I must leave to your clever Paris fashion correspondent, unequal as I feel for the subject, as I can only judge of the general effect, which is all most gentlemen can, whether a style of dress is becoming, suitable to the occasion, and in good taste. . . Yet, let me mention one question that Dame Rumour says is now coining before our astonished vision, id est, the invention of another article for ladies' use, which bids fair to rival the false ears I was so unfortunate as to mention in a previous letter. The last inventions spoken of are false lips. itoy, pouting lips, so constructed as.to defy detec- tion. I hear that on Sunday last the Emperor received the delegates of the " Universal Tourists Com pany," awl that this company will be a most suc cessful affair. _ . The American Circus has become one of the in Zit utioas o" Pari:l, and the Theatre du Prince Im perial is crowded to overflowing every night. It is well deserving of success, for the artists employed are the first in the world, and the proprietors have spared no pains and expense to render it superior to any exhibition of the kind ever held. Indeed Messrs. Bidwell, Van Orden, Spalding, and Qdick seem determined to prove that an American circus cannot be surpassed by anything in Europe. The number of Americans in Paris do not seem to be on the increase at present, for as fast as a large party arrive on a steamer another bears equally as many, if not mere, away on her homeward-bound passage. Still prices keep high; rooms are still held at the same exorbitant rates that were asked for them a month or so ago, when it was hoped by enterprising landlords that during the Exposition the unlucky person who had not before coming engaged apart ments would not have where to lay his head. How have their " mighty expectations" fallen. Alas! alas ! would that their prices would also fall. The fete de 1 . Ascension was observed on Thursday last. All the offices were closed, and the city pre sented a quiet appearance—more than it generally does on Sanday. On the arrival of the . Emperor of Russia, his Majesty Louis Napoleon will have a grand review of the army. The brilliant weather this week, in complete con trast to the cold, gloomy aspect of last, has cheered every one, and admitted of unlimited out-door en tertainment. Since the remarks by the special correspondent of the Times on the attractions of the English girls at the EngHAI restaurant of the Paris Exhibition crowds assemble there to gaze at the young women. They will at least learn to endure the staring process, and to be proof against looks of admiration and killing glances. They are, as a rule, pretty, although the fantastic method of dress ing the hair detracts from their natural beauty. The arrangements made for the working classes in the way of refreshment are excellent. A large hall has been erected in the grounds, and I saw the list of prices charged with satisfaction. Considering the sums demanded for everything eatable and drink able just now in Paris the charges are not only moderate, but very cheap. The ground has been granted by the Government, and the landlord has no payment to make for gas. ROME, May, 1867. The tide of travel, following well-understood laws, is wisely diverted from this city soon after Easter, as those who remain longer are well con vinced. For the last few days the Sirocco has been blowing, bringing the breath of the African deserts into our streets, stifling almost every thought of energy and enterprise, and clearly explaining the hitherto mysterious love of Romans for quiet loun ging in their cool cafes. The heat, intens3 as that of midsummer in America, yet differs wonderfully from it, seeming to depend on the direct rays of the sun. In passing through an open square the tem perature is withering, suffocating, but the shade, when regained, is actually cold by contrast, and there even the hot breeze creates a chill. To this state of things the dangers of this period must be largely (Inc. Yet, by care in food, clothing, and the manage ment of exercise and rest, these dangers may be reduced, if not wholly disarmed. Our artists still remain stubbornly at their posts, though has tening preparations for a speedy retreat. Mr. Rogers is finishing the Washington Monu ment for Richmond, designed by the lamented Crawford, the work on which, suspended during the war,"is now resumed. This is to be surmounted by an equestrian statue of Washington, 23 feet in height, colossal statues of his companions in the Revolution, occupying subordinate positions, and many graceful allegorical figures appearing at in tervals. 'The resumption of this undertaking after so long a delay is a pleasing evidence of a returning good feeling between those so sharply alienated during the last sad years, as well as of undying love for the Father of our common country. When this work of Northern artists shall be set up in a southern city to the honour of him who once led our united armies, we may hail the event as no slight indication of the return of peace and good will. Not less interesting to multitudes now, and to all true Americans when time has healed the wounds of war, will be the memorial monuments to the illustrious dead who have fallen to complete the work of Washington. Of these, that for the State of Rhode Island, to be set up in the city of Provi- fence, will be sOft. high. The crowning statno, 10ft. high, is of America, leaning on the sword now gladly sheathed, and holding forth gar lands of laurels and immortelles. The angles f the pedestal will support four statues, each seven 'eel in height, representing the four branches of he service. Still below will appear appropriate has reliefs. The effect of the completed monument, as given in photographs, kindly shown'me by the artist, is very pleasing and satisfying. A similar monument, still larger ant more elabo rate, for the state of Michigan is now in rapid pro gress, though the design is not yet fully developed. On the summit appears a 'statue representing Michigan of the same size as the America just referred to. It is a war-like figure, moving forward with shield aloft, and sword drawn back for the thrust. In the girdle which binds the coat of mail appears the Indian tomahawk, and in the hair the In dian ornaments of shells and feathers, indicating the youth of the state, whose lands within the memory of living men were the home of the savage. There is nothing else savage, however, in the representation, which is full of grace and life. It is pleasing to know that for these works the artist's remuneration will be somewhat adequate to their cost and merit. For the former he is to be paid $50,000, and for the .latter $75,000, money which may be put by the States which pay it to the account of public education. Of the smaller works iu this studio it is scarcely necessary to speak. The Nydia, by repetitions and photographs is, already well known. The Ruth gleaning the scattered ears, and looking up with a trustful timidity at the approach of the master of the domain, and the Isaac bound upon the wood, but lifting his face with such an expression of bright and sudden joy at the angel's.command— " Abraham, lay not thine hand upon the lad !" are worthy of no less admiration. Mr. Mozier is now modelling a Sgure which re presents Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, guarding the bodies of her sons and kindred, to whom burial was long refused,—a story told with touching simplicity in the twenty-first chapter of the first book of Kings, and finely paraphrased in the poem of Bryant. The last touch has just been given to a statue of Rebekah, who is represented at the well poising her pitcher upon her shoulder, the robe veiling and yet displaying the slender and active form. The Penseross, which stands near this, pre sents a thoughtful study of drapery, suggested by the Pudicitia at the Vatican, though disposed upon a different plan. The face and figure are founded upon Milton's description of the " Goddess sago and holy, With even step and musing gait, And looks communing with the skies - A melancholy graceful, Pleasing and tranquil." The chisel is bringing from the marble a new repe tition of the statue of Truth, one of the most vividly executed, as far as a model can indicate of 'this artist's designs—a truth living and strong, with drawn sword and gathered mantle, at whose feet lies the mask struck from the face of Falsehood. The statue is executed for a young ladies' seminary in the State of New York. One of Silence was first ordered, but on reflection the benefactor deemed it wiser to present his fair friends with the ideal of a more attainable quality. These are but few of many works, most of which are, how ever, well known, as the Peri, the Pochahontas, the Veiled Uudine, &c. Mr. llaseltine, a young artist who has returned to his studies after an honourable soldierly career in the Union army, is no .v finishing a memorial monument for the Uaion League of Philadelphia. Upon a pedestal ornamented with bas-reliefs is placed a statue, six feet in height, of America hon ouring her fallen brave. It is a figure, gracefully draped, advancing with firm but pensive step ; while the head, slightly inclined, the calm, subdued sadness of the thoughtful face, well express the ar;:3t's fine ideal of a" proud sorrow." Here also are the garlau is of laurels and immortelles, but with a new disposition—clasped upon the breast with the left hand falling at the side in the right, as if to be solemnly and reverently bestowed. With such au air a mother might coari.b, after years Lad passed, to the grave of her brave dead. Flom this figure several flue busts have been already modelled, as well as a complete copy reduced to three-quarter size. I noticed here also a bronze Excelsior, with the action and the look 'which the poem -suggest, and bringing out its substantial thought the career of irrational, insatiable, but inflexible ambition, ad mired, mourned, and condemned by turns. This figure is a copy of one in marble now in New York. Two contrasted groups of the Christian and the heathen mother, the one trustfully presenting her babe for baptism, the other with a sharp struggle between superstition and natural affection preparing to surrender hers for idolatrous sacrifice, well repay examination. There is a fine little bronze, to be executed here after on a larger scale, of America Triumphant, a figure full of calm dignity and confidence, sheath ing the sword with hearty good will, fresh as at the opening zather than the close of battle, the face perhaps a trifla too triumphant to suit any but Americans in the hour of victory; but one statue cannot express all emotions. I must pass by other finished figures, merely noticing recent models for two promising groups of Grateful and Ungrateful Love. To the celebrated studio of Miss Ilosmer, I shall take the liberty of scarcely referring, as all her best productions are so well known. Just completed is a fine fountain, with elegant statuettes of sirens and cupids. This will appear in London. Also new is the reclining figure of a faun asleep, with very antique head, while a little satyr is tying the ends of the lion's hide, which covers the sleeper, around the stump on which he rests. It is evidently a conceit of the lively mind which produced that impersonation of droll . mischief, Puck. This mischievous tendency of Puck becomes appropriately, no doubt, but, fur my taste, unplea santly malicious in the new figure of the same size, the " Will o' the Wisp." "The Pandora Hesitatingly Opening the Fatal Vase" the work of Mx. Quez, is a very successful representation of alife-like legend. The "Rebekah," leaning on her pitcher by the well, is fine. The countenance wears an expression of irresolution and surprise, suited, no doubt, to the sudden proposal by proxy, but calculated to make her wooer somewhat anxious had he been present in person. I noticed here, also, a fine Undine, an Indian group, a good representation of the mythical shepherd, whose mode of life kings and poets sigh for and shun. But the most taking thing, if the word may be allowed, is the Sans Louci, a sweet child, with her curly head thrown back, the face bubbling over with laughter, the open book almost dropping from her hand—a negligent little student, to bc scolded from a sense of duty, but loved and admired all the while. The well-known studio of Mr. Story contains the model for a bronze statue of Everett, executed for the City of Boston, showing the orator as he was twenty years ago, but our modern dress must be admitted to be ungraceful when seen in a statue. Another of Josiah Quincy is life-, but youngerlike looking than recent Harvard graduates remember him. There is a Cleopatra, gloomily meditating on her reverses, a Sappho very loveable, and had a Medea knife in hand, with an expression as fearful as the fearful deed she plans, and a Lybian Sybil, faithful doubtless to the ideal of such a character, though such an ideal seems to the writer hardly worthy of perpetuation in marble. A plaster group of Red Riding Hood and the Wolf seems to deserve completion, which the artist has hitherto been too busy to grant. The trade of India iu some principal exp2rts during the five years influenced by the American war, will be seen from these figures up to the end of 1865-66 : Year. .859-GO Cotton. 5,572,234 Wool. 71,796 Rice. 1860-61 7,330,637 ... 473,554 2,936,876 1861-62 ... 10,202,761 ... 355,810 „. 3,219,247 1862-63 ... 18,779,183 ... 787,821 ... 3,316,376 1863-64 35.864,785 ... 866,033 ... 3,806,075 1864-65 37,573,666 ... 1,001,687 ... 5,295,968 1865-66 35,578,290 ... 674,627 4,t57,522 These figures are very elcqucnt, and are within the truth, because they represent values at the port of shipment in India, not in England. If, allowing for the increased export, ten millions sterling be taken as the normal value of the whole cotton crop of India,. it received about 95 millions more in these live years at the expense of America for cot ton alone. By private telegram from Bombay, May 25, 2.30 p.m., we learn that shipments of cotton during last week, amounted to 63,000 bales. The vine disease is appearing in Portugal, and has broken out with virulence in some districts. The Cable informs us that Mr. 111‘Culloch, the Secretary of the Treasury, has written a letter, in which he expresses an opinion that a temporary in crease of the Public Debt is unavoidable, and that he will stop the reduction of the currency for thepresent. The enemies of the United States who can damage the country in no other way seize on all circum stances tending to the discredit of its financial posi tion. The recklesness with which appropriations were made by the XXXIX• Congress has checked the Secretary's power of contracting the currency and reducing the debt. Two other unforeseen occurrences have increased his difficulties. One is the Indian war; the other, the depression of trade. The enormous sum voted by the Legislature for bounties to the soldiers has had an injurious influ ence on the Treasury ; but although the process of reduction is for the moment checked, the consolida tion of the Public debt continues. There is a strong party in America who do not believe in the wisdom of reduction. They hold that the nation rapidly grows richer—that the precious metals as rapidly fall in value. The vast area of auriferous soil in the States and Territories which are daily being developed will insure to the United States from their rich mines a metal basis which no other country pos sesses, and which is the best guarantee of a specie payment for all indebtedness. What may be a dif ficult task for the American nation to accomplish at present will, in all probability, be comparatively easy ten years hence. SAne months hence the railway from San Francisco, with few breaks, will penetrate into Nevada, and it is difficult to estimate what the effect will be in laying open the rich silver mines of that State and adjoining Territories. Already the yield is rapidly increasing, and mining stocks and shares arc growing in favour. They cannot fail to attract the attention of British capitalists, who at a small risk may in this direction reap an almost fabulous return. At any rate their effect will be immense on American finance, and those who leave this source of supply out of the question omit the very essence of the financial strength of the United States. On Sunday the Persia arrived at Queenstown with 221 cabin passengers and a large sum in specie. The 1 arifa reached the same port on Monday with 152 passengers and $55,000. On Tuesday. the Ilanunonia arrived at Southampton with 288 pas sengers and $461,432. Th same day the Vile de Paris was at Brest with 296 passengers and 4,000,000 francs. On Wednesday the North Ger man Lloyd's steamer Union arrived at Southampton with 302 passengers and $55,000. She was delayed by an accident to her propeller, which forced her to run at half speed. On Friday the Din reached Queenstown with a large number of passengers and £16,000 in specie. _ _ On May 23 the Europe arrived at New York from Brest, and the Pennsylvania and Manhattan from Liverpool. On the 25th the North German Lloyd steamer Hermann and the Inman steamer Etna. The Germania arrived on the 26th, the City of Bal timore on the 27th, the ,Scotia and Tunzpico on the 28th; the Amy°, from Falmouth, and the Aleppo, from Liverpool, on the same day, and the /Vova Scotia at Quebec. The Virginia from Liverpool and the St. Patrick from Glasgow arrived at New York on the 30th May. It is announced positively in New York that Queretaro was captured by the Liberals on the 15th May ; and Maximilian, Mejia, and Miramon • taken prisoners. Bat the Stlitlard still adheres to the opinion it has all along expressed, that these advices are pure fabrications. In proof of this it yesterday published the following p r i va t e l e tt er , dated Tampico, 27th April, with these remarks We know here that Escobedo was defeated before Queretaro ; that he lost ten thousand men . - after a sanguinary comb at ne ver recorded as yet in internal vars. JuDrez has sent, one after five special couriers ordering the troops t o join him ; but his or .lers have b een unattended to, the commander here being a partisan of Ortega, the town, with th e command though as yet he has not announced it publicly, because there arc four A merican gunboats an chorede rs o f opposite which t h e governor h as h a d the most osite counted on refused to violent and disagreeab l e questions. N ow if Escobedo was, as this letter and former commu fnoirceaetiinoenests,aua assert,the muchs t o r oops hented in want of rein join him, how can he possibly have taken Queretaro? Porfirio Diaz, it has always been said, was besieging the capital itself, therefore Escobedo Could not have been reinforced by him. But the strongest ground for disbelief in the news of the capture of Maxi milian and the fall of the Empire is the fact that the Liberals stop all correspond ence that is not i written by themselves or n their interests. They must have good reason for not allowing the truth to be known." The liberation of Jefferson Davis is the subject that occupies most prominently the American papers. .He was released on bail of $lOO,OOO distributed over twenty citizens, who are each liable for $5,000 that he will be forthcoming to take his trial for high trea son in November, if required. Horace Greeley heads the list of sureties, for which h e h as b een in soundly ab ed by many journalists of his party. Among those who were censured for thus acting was John Minor Botts. A friend f rom Washing ton wrote to him condemning this course, to which ha very properly replied that he would not allow himself to be dictated to in these matters. He added that he had asked Mr. Charles O'Connor to inquire of his client if he had any objections that his most determined opponent, his iife-long political foe, should, in a spirit of harmony and conciliation, attach his name to the bail bond. Mr. Davis expressed no reluc tance, but, on the contrary, was rather well pleased with the magnanimity of the offer. A short inter view followed, described by Mr. Botts as in nowise compromising the dignity of either party. The Nation regrets to hear bad accounts of the way in which Southerners receive the donation sent from the North for their relief. " In one case, in Georgia, the county officials refused to distribute a cargo of cor n un l ess they were pa id for their ser vices out of the corn ; and there is a very general disposition not to b e sa ti s fi e d w ith such things as the miserable Y an k ees f i n d i t co nvenient to send on. .This gorilla condition of mind is greatly to be regretted, as it serves no good purpose. It does not help the South, and does not punish the Yankees. If the maund er i ng e di tors an d ora t o rs who are all the time wo n d er i ng why t h e Yankees do not forget and forgive would preach mut u a l for givenness and fo rge tf u l ness , they would do some good. In the meantime—and this is the main t h ing --there is no d ou bt t h at rea l an d wile-spread dis tress does exist, and there is apparently strong pro bability that during the next two months there will be at the South a real mediaeval famine, with hundreds, if not thousands, of deaths from sheer starvation, if people at the North do not bestir themselves." The Nation should not forget t he painful position in which the South has been placed. We feel no small admiration at the manner in which this aristocratic community have borne their heavy misfortunes, and great allowances should be made for petulance under the trying circumstances. It is surprising that nothing has been accomplished in England or in France in aid of the starving South. We arc amazed that the Times, which has always expressed such admiration for the gallantry and endurance of the Southerners, has not directed the attention of E ng li s h b enevo lence in this direction. A riotous disp os iti on i s gaining ascendancy in. some towns of th e S ou th, which we regret to say proceeds from a bad feeling between the freedmen and the whites. At Mobile a riot followed an address of Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania. While he was haranguing in no measured terms a large gathering of negroes son►c evil-disposed person fired a pistol shot at hint. The negroes retaliated, firing became general, and three or four persons were killed and others wounded. The violence of Judge Kelley's language has been generally condemned, while the right of speech has been upheld. It may require strong forbearance and a painful act of re pre,,sion on the part of the South to refrain from tarring and feathering, from lynching, and riding on rails people who -give utterance to obnoxious sentiments. Yet the nation has decreed liberty of speech in the South as welt as in the North, and however repugnant it must be endured. That the freedmen have shown a riotous disposition is displayed by the fact that during the week the Negro steve dors got up an affray in New Orleans ; another occurred between the soldiers and negroes in Gal veston ; a third at Brownsville, Tennessee ; and a fourth at Nashville, Tennessee. These have fol lowed the more serious one at Richmond. It is not surprising, under the circumstances, that such ebullitions should occur, but we hope that they will not be of long continuance, and that the freedmen and the whites will soon settle down into their re spective places, which cannot be expected to happen at once in a society so rudely disturbed as that of the South. The most prominent men are leaving America by scores for Europe, and it is probable that, most of its loudest and longest talkers gone, the States will sink into a profound calm, unless second rate people and aspiring youngsters seize the opportunity to push themselves into notice. A midsummer session of Congress is a mere illusion. Even the Presiden tial election next year excites little interest, as all feel assured that General Grant is the coming man. It is thought,_ failing him, that Mr. Colfax is the most likely person. The Springfield Republican says that President Johnson is wearing his best clothes, and looking sleek and amiable since Congress is out of the way ; Mr. Seward is seeking new worlds to conqueror buy (has he thought of the Sandwich Islands ?) ; Mr. Stanton is spending lots of money fighting the Indians, and Mr. M'Culloch is alarmed at the propect of increased expenses and falling re venue ; " Uncle Gideon" looks like Moses, and is reconciled to the Connecticut election, and Post master-General Randall has no idea of resigning- not he. Ex-President Pierce, who promised Jeff Davis northern help for his rebellion, showing both a traitor's and a coward's heart, went down to give him welcome to liberty again, and ought to have been snubbed in return. The arrival of Americans during the week has been very large, few steamers bringing less than 200 cabin passengers, and some over 300. The most celebrated statesmen and soldiers are now crossing in scores, and men will soon be passing in Regent-street or pushing in the exhibition against those about whom they have been reading for years past, and whose acts may have had an influence on their own fortunes. People looked for the advent too soon, but the Americans, who know most about the Atlantic, preferred to wait for quieter times. We expect a large t number will make London their head-quarters, for hbwever attractive Paris may be few like to live in a whirl, scrambling for every meal, and paying enormously for great discomfort. The terrible accounts of starvation and destitu tion from the South prompted a deputation last week, from the National Freedmen's Aid Society to wait on Lord Derby, as Chairman of the Central Committee for the relief of distress in the cotton districts; to ask that the surplus funds at the dispo sal of the Committee might be sent to the Southern States of America to relieve the distress there. Lord Derby listened attentively, and promised to give the matter his best .consideration ; but he pointed out that he was but one member of the Committee, that there were other applications for the surplus funds, and that the majority of .the Committee might not think that the request now made was one with which they ought to comply. The importance of the Ems harbours has been attracting the attention of the Prussian Govern ment. Hitherto the Rhine country and Westphalia had no direct. communication with the German Ocean, and their Transatlantic traffic had to be carried through Dutch, Belgian, and even French sea-ports. Now a direct route is offered by the Ems harbours of Emden and Leer, and the inhabitants of the Rhino country and Westphalia are reported to be about to form a joint stock company to supply a line of packets from Emden and Leer to foreign countries. They propose also to shorten the .dis tances from South-Western Germany by means of a railroad from Hamm to Giessen, and from the Rhine country by means of a railroad from the Rhine in the direction of Oberhausen towards the Ems Ilarbours. In the report, just published, of the Registiar- Gl.neral of Victoria, in Australia, some curious statistics occur, which show how rapidly intermar riages are taking place in that colony. The strangest feature is the list of marriages contracted by Chinamen with European women, amounting to 59. Half of these got English wives, and about a quar ter Irish wives. The Pall-Mall Gazette remarks on this subject—" When a generation of this mixed race has lived under the transforming influences of the Australian climate, it is probable that a race quite unlike anything European will be the result." General Sherman has joined General Hancock to conduct the Indian war, and their resoluteness and determination have already had some effect in driv ing some of the most implacable tribes to the south, and inducing others to come to terms. Large bodies of troops are being pushed forward and posted along the main routes of travel. Contractors and carriers are reaping a rich harvest. A story had been cir culated that the steamer Miner, bound up the Missouri from St. Louis to Montana, had been cap tured and burnt, and her passengers and crew slaughtered, by the Indians, about 100 miles above Sioux City. But as late news know nothing of the circumstance, its truth is more than doubtful. The eight-hour strike in Chidago has came to an end, after a loss in wages and profit of $lOO,OOO. On this subject the Springfield Republican says The experience is, however, a warning, and the dogma of a fixed, legal day's work will be more and more separated from the true labour movement, that in its objects of elevating every class of labourers into intelligence, and skill, and a share in the management of the business of which they are so important an element, commends itself to every philanthropist and every Republican statesman." It is estimated that three million dollars' worth of new buildings, which were to have been put up at Chicago this year, have been abandoned on account of the eight-hour movement. The negroes employed in the tobacco factories of Lynchburg have struck for higher wages, the em ployers agreed to give twisters and roll-makers $2.25 per hundred pounds, in lieu of .$1.75 till June, when, for the three months ensuing they will give $2.50. The Californians are having equal rights presented in a shape they do not quite relish. Ah Chung, a Chinese artist of San Francisco, desiring to become an American citizen, recently applied to a court of record in that city for the necessary papers. " All free white male citizens" of the age of 21 years, and upwards, are certainly eligible to American citizen ship. But whether the, Mongolian race can justly claim to be classed with white citizens is a contro verted point on the Pacific slope, and consequently Judge Hoffman set counsel to work to study the Civil Rights Bill and the law bearing on the case before granting or rejecting " John's" application to join the great American family. The Springfield Republican gives us the following item :—" Travel across the continent has become regular and reliable again, and work on the Pacific Raiload, both at the California and eastern ends, is renewed with vigour. On this side the managers mean to lay two miles of track a day for one hun dred days or more ; and at the other about 20,000 Chinf.men will soon be die:ging a pathway down the Sierra Nevadan on the eastern slopes, and stretching it out into the Humboldt valley. In California, the Pacific Railroad managers have got possession of the Western Pacific Railroad, so called, to 'run from San Francisco, via Stockton, to Sacra mento, and mean to complete it from Stockton to Sacramento in three months' time." The ship continent is reported to have foundered at sea while on her way front New Orleans to Havre. Both ship and cargo were lost ; but the crew and one lady passenger were rescued. Among other casualties we notice that the steamer Lansing exploded her boiler while running between Rock Island and Port Byron, Illinois, on the 13th May, when six persons, officers and passengers, were killed or drowned, including W. 11. Noble, of Burlington, lowa ; W. 11. Beebe, of Colorado ; and _ _ I. Curtis, of Dubuoue. -- The Springfield Republican tells us that Russia has telegraphed that she accepts the treaty of sale for her American territory, which Professor Agassiz suggests should be called Behringia, after Bel►ring who first explored it. " The more we hear of this acquisition the more we talk about it, the better the people like it and applaud the bargain. Ben Hol laday has already started a steamer for its 'shores from San Francisco, so that we shall have fresh accounts of what is going on there, and what the people, and country are all like." We hear that the week before last a financial panic occurred at New Orleans, on account of the reported defalcations of the Treasury, and of the First National Bank. The reports, as usual, appear to have been exaggerated, but $llO,OOO are missing --covered by the property of the Sub-Treasurer's securities. The Senate has concurred with the House, 27 to 8, to carry on the Hoosiac tunnel another year by an appropriation of $600,000. It is thought, how ever, that the work will stop before long, on account of its cost, especially as a road over the mountain will give all needed accommodation at considerably less outlay. The ship-building interest of New England is suffering greater depression than it has experienced for years. About sixteen vessels are all that are on the stocks. In New Hampshire and Maine business is somewhat brisker, but great discou ragement is felt from the difficult task of competing with the ship-builders of the British provinces. .The Dubuque Herald states that the farmers in he western counties are persecuted by pigeons ; indeed that these birds have become a scourge. Vast flocks appear and darken the air, and having migrated a long distance from the South are very voracious. They alight on newly-sown fields, and rolling over like waves of the sea, pick up every grain in sight. It is impossible to drive them off. They care not for the firing of guns, throwing of stones, shouts of men, or barks of dogs. One farmer two miles east of Independence had sown three acres with wheat, and was preparing to harrow it when the pigeons made their appearance and gobbled up every grain before it could be covered. Sports men have waged incessant war against them, and killed great numbers, but their places are quickly supplied. Pigeon-hunting has lost the charm of novelty, and the only idea now is, how to save the grain ? Secretary M'Culloch has issued a circular to col- lectors of Customs and others, in which, after quoting section 14 of " An Act to Increase Duties on Imports, and for other purposes," approved June 14,1864, he instructs collectors " to cause to be kept a record from day to day, stating the name of the vessel, the place from which and the time when she arrived, the name of the importer, and the date of entry; and will give notice of the liquidation of such entries by posting in some conspicuous place in the Custom-house, accessible to the public, on the day succeeding the date of ascertainment and liquidation, a transcript of such record, there to remain for ten days, when such transcript will be removed and filed with the records of the office ; and the posting of such transcript will be deemed and taken to be a notice to all , parties interested. The notice of dissatisfaction or protest referred to in the section cited must in all cases be presented to the collector within thirty days after notice of the ascertainment and liquidation of the duties as pro vided. When an appeal is taken from the decision of a collector, such appeal, addressed to the Secre tary of the Treasury, may be delivered.to the col leaor, who is instructed to receive and transmit the same to the Treasury Department, with a full report of the case, together with a statement of the reasons for his decision." An accident occurred the other evening at the Ale- tropolitan Theatre, Buffalo, during the performance of the Arabs. Three of the members of the troupe met with an accident which at the time commanded but littlo attention, but afterwards proved to be not a little painful. In the act of breaking up, or dissolving ono of the complicated pyramids, these men fell backwards from their elevated positions, and struck with great violence on their heads. The shock to the nervous system was so great in each that they were rendered totally blind. The two-story frame building, No. 50, Polk-street, at Chicago, while being raised to the street grade, fell on Thursday morning, May 16, killing Mrs. Watkins, the wife of the owner, and severely wounding four others. The Canadian Executive Council clos:i its session at Ottowa, on Tuesday, May 14, and will remove to Mon treal, henceforth the capital of the dominion. The change will cause the removal of about 70 families from the city. Selma, Alabama, has nearly arisen from the ashes in which it was laid two years ago. A pelican, measuring nine feet from tip to tip of the wings, and having a bill ten inches long, was shot re cently in Kentucky. A portion of a Baptist congregation in Nassau, N. P., were suddenly immersed in the baptistery on a ro cont Sunday. The joint and brick work flooring of the front steps gave way, precipitating those above into the tank. A correspondent of a Philadelphia paper describes the Paris Exposition building as follows :—" Take a round gingerbread with a hole in the middle. The lOle;;;re sents a garden. Around the hole describe with a knife eight or ten circles ; each of these is an aisle running quite round the exhibition. Across these concentric circles, draw, from the hole to the circumference of your gingerbread, thirty or forty straight lines or radii. These separate the nations. Now, if you want to look at machinery, being a machinist yourself, begin with the greater outer ring or circle, and you will pass, in their order, the machineries of every nation. The second interior ring is devoted entirely to furniture. Go round it and you can study the upholstery of mankind. The third ring is devoted to clothing. Fol low this round, and all the fashions of the world and the wearers will be demonstrated. A Boston correspondent of the Chicago Tribune writes the following :—" I visited the great pioneer of the anti-slavery movement, Mr. Win. Lloyd Garrison, at his home in Roxbury, near Boston, and had the honour and pleasure of accepting an invitation to take tea with him self and family. ' It may not be generally known that Mr. Garrison has been prevented from taking his usual active part in public affairs, during the last twelve months, by a fall, which severely injured his right arm and shoulder. lie is now, however, nearly recovered, and his general health is much improved of late. Mr. Garrison sails for Europe on May 1, to be absent till July or August. Mr. Garrison has also been a great sufferer during the last three years, from the effects of a paralytic shock. Mr. Garrison has four sons and a daughter living. One is editor of the Nation, two are wool merchants in Boston, and ono is at college. Tho daughter, one of tho most beautiful of American women, is now in Europe, and the wife of your special correspondent in Paris." San Francisco rejoices in a decree from the Supreme Court which gives to the city valuable lands in the suburbs that had been seized and stoutly claimed by private parties. Over one hundred Poles arrived in Galveston a few days since. They are to be followed by a large num ber of their countrymen. The New York boot-blacks have reduced the price to five cents a " shine." The wheat iu North and South Carolina looks well. TLa wheat harvest there begins about the middle of Juno. The new mill of the Willimantic linen company, which is now nearly supplied with machinery of the - latest invention and is in successful operation, is 404 by 69 feet, six stories high, and built of unhammered stone. This establishment is ono of the largest in the 'United States, and in it are made thread of all sizes and thirty-two dif ferent colours. The Wauregan company's new mill at Plainfield is also nearly oomph:W l , and is a duplicate of the large ono built eighteen years ago, being 500 by 50 feet and five stories high. DISTRESS IN TIIE SOUTIIERN STATES.—Every day the accounts of Southern destitution are more urgent, more widespread, more fully authenticated. The state ment of Governor Orr shows that letters have been re ceived from about eighty different points in South Caro lina from reliable mon, and they all tell one tale. A famine is upon all, black and white, apparently equal to that in Ireland during the potato rot twenty years ago. People aro literally dying of hunger, and others are wan dering up and down despairingly, seeking forfood. Some of these are owners of small farms, who try to mortgage their lands for money to buy broad, but cannot. W. Gil more Simms writes :—" As far as I can see there is no escape from a general famine in which all will suffer, many perish. There are hardly five i❑ a hundred who will be able to supply themselves with provisions of any sort, unless by borrowing money on mortgage, not only of the growing crop, but of the lands, and at such a rate of interest that no crop they can raise will save them from ruin." These are the best cases. But the difficulty is that "no section can help the other." All are alike. It is from the North aid must come, if at all. The multitude without any sort of property. is far greater. A frien d writes to us privately—" The North is just keeping US alive." W. Gilmore Simms says: —"I do not see what is to avert the fate of thousands, to whom the peck or bushel of corn, which suffices for a week, must .simplY prolong the agony of death by inches." That all parts of .the South are now more or less affected in this waY i 6 clear ; but we hope none, so badly as South Carolina. There stem to be but few comprehensive minds to take any broad views of the case. Trade stops ; employers dismiss their hands; agriculture is paralysed. What is to become of the future? The most enterprising of t he coloured race have left, as far as they could, and tllO5 O that remain are poor and destitute. How it is all going to end in a. bettor crop and improvement for next year it is hard to see. . The lands are good, lAA there is no c apital to work them, no food for those who remain. Lands will be mortgaged and sold for a mere nothing to those wit ° have courage to buy or advance on them sufficient to knee the present inhabitants from starving. Philadelphia Ledger. COMMERCIAL. The financial panic at New Orleans has had the effect of increasing the price of gold, which closed on Thursdoll touching 138. The exports of the metal have been un usually large, the steamers on Saturday taking out $2,119,000, and on Wednesday $1,398,508. Another large instalment goes away to-day. Against this the steamer from Aspinwall brought in last Saturday $420,000, and the Java, on Wednesday, half a million of francs. San Fran cisco has exported from the commencement of the year $10,751,071, which is over the exports of the same period last year. It is reported also from California that the de mand for mining stocks is on the increase, and the price rising from which, it is believed, that the return of the precious metals will continue to increase. There is a rise in foreign exchange, which may now be quoted at 109 le 1091 in gold. As business has become more active, the supply of money is not quite so large, though loans on call continuo at 5 to 6 per cent., and commercial paper may b e negociated at from 6 to 71 for first-class, and 8 to 10 for second-class. The rates at Chicago are easy, as Well As generally through the West, and money must soon flow in that direction from the East in payment of wool, and for advances on crops. Government stocks are in demand , though no change has taken place in the quotations. I 1 rise in Europe was looked for on more Pacific news, an d the cable advices give satisfaction in showing that the ex'. pectation has been realised. The groat increase i n the expenses of the War Department has taken people by sur prise, and leaves little chance of a decrease this year in the public indebtedness. The income of the year ending June 30 is estimated at $488,000,000, which it is said wil l leave a surplus of $212,000,000. The other engagemen ts of the Government will prevent, it is thought, any further attempt at redeeming the greenback currency just nosy. The Government holds $26,000,000 of the retired lega l tenders which it is not thought will be destroyed until it is certain that necessity will not arise for their reissue. 1 - 11 n) ease of the money market has had a favourable influenc e , on the miscellaneous stocks. The Pennsylvanian Cen tral makes a 3 per cent. dividend for the six months, and : 10 extra stock dividend of 5 per cent. The Hudson Div er Stock has again risen above par, and was sold at 102. This rise was justified by the large increase of receipts, averag ing $2,000 a day over a corresponding period of last Yea r ' The New York Central has fallen. The quarterly divi" dend of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company will, if re port be true, be 3 per cent. Franklin Telegraph is risi n g' Though stocks are more active, there is little improve' meat in mercantile business. The crops look unusually favourable, but at present wheat and flour are at famin e prices, which, it is feared, will be continued until har vest. California has exported largely to New York,and wheat is even coming in from Liverpool to supply t , present deficiency.
