Miscellaneous Foreign News. (Front Correspondents of the Anylo-Anterican Times.) Pau's, June 13. i The beautiful and brilliant weather which has at length settled steadily down upon the corn-field, green, and sunny vines of pleasant France, gives additional tone and colouring to the magic kaleido scope at this instant pouring forth its myriad at tractions in Paris, where crowned heads pass over the enchanted mirror in greater numbers than the progeny of Banquo in " Macbeth." The Autocrat of All the Russian has just left Paris, one shade alone obscuring the recollection of the magnificently hos- ! pitiable reception accorded to him by Napoleon and ' the good people of Paris, viz., the cowardly attack of which he had so nearly become the victim, and the reflection that even in the most intoxicating moment of human pride and power may come the shadow on the dial, the handwriting on the wall, and a little dust and ashes are all that remain cy? one of earth's greatest monarchs. Perhaps a moire magnificent and exciting spectacle was never offerer to human eye than that presented by the brilliant scldiers of France, who to the number of 60,000 men, horse and foot, defiled in glittering squadrons over the verdant race-course of Long champs in the presence of a countless multitude of every rank, age, and station. A more impressive warning could not have been conveyed. The con duct of the Czar, however, on that trying occasion was most admirable, not only as evincing the greatest personal coolness and bravery, but as ex pressing a steadfast belief in the protection of that Pro ♦idence who holds the lives of monarchs in the hollow of His hand. In fact, since his arrival the Emperor of Russia has done everything in his power to con ciliate the regard and esteem of the Parisians, be has visited the public and charitable institutions, leaving behind him not only the remembrance of his kindness and affability, but in every instance more substantial marks of his consideration ; and although the papers have not been able to announce the exact amount of the donation left for the benefit of the poor of Paris, it is said to be an amount truly royal. Mons. Raimbeaux, the officer whose horse was struck by the ball of the assassin as he spurred forward to intercept his aim, has refused an offer which has been made to him of 16,000 roubles. The Empress, however, has presented his wife diamonds to the value of 300,000 francs, accompanied with a press ing invitation from the Czar to visit St. Peters burg. It is said that all the various directors of the establishments visited by the Czar will receive deco rations, whilst he has presented the Grand Cordon of Saint Anne to all the Generals of Division, and the Grand Cordon of Saint Stanislaus to all the Generals of Brigade, who commanded at the review of the 6th of June last. Numberless addresses have been presented to both Emperors in token of the general feeling of joy at their deliverance from the murderous attempt of Berezowski, which has also been disavowed by large numbers of Poles. It is sincerely to be hoped that the isolated attemt of a young man, led astray by mistaken patriotism, and influenced also by personal family suffering, will not serve to rivet more closely the chains of that unhappy country, and that the Czar will evince his clemency by sparing even Berezowski, though, as in the case of Edward Oxford, who, it will be remembered, attempted .to assassinate Queen Victoria, we should advise a salutary reclusion in a fitting Maison de Sante. The arrival of His Sublime Highness the Sultan is fixed for the middle of July. The demand of Young Turkey for a National Assembly has been rejected, and the chiefs arrested. Three Turkish and two Greek journals have been suspended. On the occasion his Highness will be attended by Lord Lyons, the British ambassador, M. Bouree, French ambassador, and Kiouf Bey, the latter as aide-de-camp and pacha. The Sultan has contracted a loan of several millions for his expenses in France, and comes attended with a more numerous following than a Highland chieftain of the olden time. The Emperor of Austria will arrive at Paris from the 20th to the 22d of the month. He will be accompanied by the Empress and the Baron do Beust, the Prime Minister. The Spanish Embassy has also received an official despatch, announcing the visit of Queen Isabella as soon as the Cortes have suspended their sittings. It is probable the Queen will arrive during the first part of July. A telegraphic despatch, announces also the departure of the Viceroy of Egypt from Alex andria, attended by Raghel Paella and Messieurs Outrey and Lesseps, in the steam yacht the .3lah russa. Much interest is excited at this moment at the exhibition by the panorama of the proposed canal now being carried out across the Isthmus of Suez, with the view of connecting the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, in which M. de Lesseps takes a warm interest. It is said that a visit from the Queen of England. is decided in principle, though not in fact, and will only be finally resolved on at the return of Her Majesty in June to Windsor. The Persian Exhibition is now opened after a long delay, and the magnificent fabrics of the hand woven carpets attract universal attention, as does also a very striking likeness of the Shah, by Hannah Guyard, and a painting, an enamel, bearing the inscription " Khadija." 'The last visit of the Czar ere his departure was paid to:the Palace of Fontainebleau, so full of his torical souvenirs of the Sovereigns of France, and more especially of one, the mightiest perhaps the world has ever produced. Between noon and one o'clock the Emperor and Empress of France, with their Royal guests of Russia, the King of Prussia, the Prince of Hesse, &c., arrived in the carriages of the Court at the Lyons station in order to reach Fontainebleau by rail. As usual an es?,ort of the Cent Gardes and Lancers prec_tded and followed the Royal cortege. After a visit to the Chateau, the Royal party left at half-past five o'clock. At half-past six the train, after having passed the Central Railway and La Villette, arrived on the Eastern line, a special train waiting in the route to Strasbourg to convey the Emperor to Kehl. The Imperial wagon was ac cordingly stopped by the side of a tent which had been erected, and the Sovereigns made their final adieus after a long and fraternal embrace, the Cesarewitch, however, returning with his royal host to France for the purpose of shortly visiting London. It ends the visit of one of earth's greatest mo narchs to the capital of the civilised world, and there can be no doubt that his short sojourn has gained for him golden opinions not only in Paris, but in all France. We are not apologists for despotic mo narchs, and the misfortunes and sufferings of that helpless country, Poland, are too well known to need comment. It remains, however, to analyse the sources of these misfortunes, of these sufferings, and to judge then in how far the conduct and Go vernment of the rn Czar has been productive of them. There is, at all events, a well-known axiom, audi alteram partem, and, as the Czar has shown himself a brave fellow , w e say, at all e vents, let him have fair play. Besides we, ourselves, vowhae had re cently too much to deplure, even in our n free country, from the diabolic crime, which there, un happily, succeeded, not to condemn, in the most emphatic language of denunciation we possess that bloody and cowardly principle which seek to find in assassination a remedy for public or private woes or wrongs. We congratulate cordially the Em peror on his escape, and we sincerely trust that the interposition h of Providence on his behalf will induce Lind to regard with clemency, not only the wretched and misguided author of the unfinished crime, but also the unhappy and high-spirited nation to which be belongs. Great attraction and heart fluttering has been caused this week, especially amongst the gentler sex, by the balls given respectively at the Tuileries and the Hotta de Ville. As we have so often, how ever, given a description of State balls, with their glittering uniforms and orders, gorgeous dresses, &c., we shall content ourselves with remarking that among the few Americans who attended at the Hotel de Ville we noticed General Starring, United States Army; Colonel M'Clure ; Mrs. Bainbridge Smith, New York ; Alias Vance, Tennessee. Pre sent at the Tuileries were General Dix and family, lion, John Sherman, Col. and Mrs, Norton, Mrs. Hewitt, of New Orleans ; Mrs. Murray Smith, of Alabama ; Hon. Fernando Wood, President Bar nard, Columbia College; Hon. Samuel B. Ruggles; Col. Bowen, Chicago ; Frank Leslie, New York ; M. Seymour, New York ; Hon. 11. S. Sanford, United States Minister ; Col. Heine, United States Army ; Mrs. Bainbridge Smith, New York ; Miss E. B. Vance, of Tennessee, &c., &c. _ _ The English charity-ball, given on Tuesday night, at the Grand Hotel, for the benefit of the poor of London, must not pass " unnoticed by," for it well deserves mention. The two magnificent saloons of the hotel were thrown open, and beautifully decorated with the flag of England and lovely flowers, while a full band of music was placed on a raised platform at the back part of the dancing hall. At half-past nine o'clock the guests commenced to arrive, and later, on the entrance of Lord and Lady Cowley, accompanied by the lady patronesses, the band played " God save the Q teen," all the persons in the room standing during the perform ance. Among the distinguished persons present may me mentioned Prince George, of Meck lenburg, Prince Achille Murat, Princess Ezen micheff, Lady Wellesley, Earl and Countess Cow ley, Earl of Brownlow, Lady 011iffe, Lord and Lady Thynne, Duke de Vallambrosa, Duke de Praslin, The O'Gorman Mahon, and others. There were present also quite a number of American ladies and gentlemen. The belles of the evening were two English and three Ameri can ladies. The two who carried the palm of beauty among the English were, indeed, beautiful, and the adoration which they received wag most certainly due. I ought not, being unable to give their names, or sufficiently conversant with the toilettes of the fairer sex, to attempt a description of their mode of dress, which was such as to add greatly to their charms. The three American ladies who upheld the reputation of their country for beauty were Mrs. Ronalds, of Boston ; Miss E. B. Vance, of Memphis, Tennessee; and Miss Carrie Sims, of Alabama. _ _ I remember well every graceful line of each dress, and the tastefully selected colours, but my pen is unequal to the description, and I will not detract from the pleasant recollection by the attempt. Other Americans present were—Dr. J. Marion Sims, Dr. Pratt, Colonel Vance, Mrs. Pratt, Mrs. Sims, Miss Sue Vance, Mrs. and Miss Hitchcock, Mr. and Mrs. Myers, Mrs. Gowen, Miss Gowen, Miss Carera, Miss Noble, and a few more, for which we have not space. The ball was kept up until four o'clock in the morning, and one and al unite in pronouncing it a most delightful en tertainment. ROME, May 27. From the province of sculpture, where form is all, entering that, where colour adds its beauties and difficulties, let me begin with the studio of Mr. Free man, one of those longest resident at Rome, and who is still busily adding to the products of his pencil. I must pause to notice that his name is one of several unreasonably omitted in Murray's hand book. That list is so inadequate as to demand re vision, which it is to be hoped it may receive. Mean while Americans who would know what their coun trymen can show worthy of examination would do well to consult the lists at the bankers or reading rooms rather than that of Murray. Artists whose arrival is recent, and whose stay is uncertain, have of course no expectation of mention in such a work, but in the case of one who has been located here for more than thirty years, an omission is equivalent to condemnation, which his works certainly do not deserve. To return from this digression, I would refer to the large picture of a Tuscan peasant gathering grapes as a pleasing representation of one phase of Italian life. The colouring is extremely brilliant; the face is perhaps not enough idealised, but is for that reason more true to character ; it is that of such a peasant as the traveller constantly sees. The Marys at the Sepulchre, a picture well con ceived, but inferior in execution to the artist's best manner, is now about to be sent to America. Still in progress is a picture suggested by the well-known passage in " Uncle Toby," " the accus ing spirit who flew up to heaven with the oath blushed as he gave it in, and the recording angel as he wrote it down dropped a tear upon the word and blotted it out for ever." The painting promises to realise singularly well the idea of a paragraph with the feeling of which every one must be touched, whatever criticism he may pass upon its theology. The Savoyard Boy in London brings Italy and Ireland into the edge of Cheapside. In the back ground the ever-rushing crowd, and the Cathedral spire dimly seen through a London fog ; in front, the Italian boy, his black locks drooping over his ruddy face as his head reclines in profound slum ber, while a little Irish child, with the blond com plexion of the north, is seated on the pavement watching the sleeper with timid pity and wonder ; on the wall above are placards which appeared there when the war in America, of which they tell, was raging. Still another unfinished picture of the Fisher man's Wife watching in the storm appears calcu lated to be very successful. The babe in the cradle sleeps tranquilly while the storm rages with rising fury. The hand of the mother just touches its form with an instinctive care, while her looks and thoughts are far away from the child and the storm, striving to reach one little bark which bears life's best hope. But, in the judgment of the writer, the finest thing in the studio, and a real gem, is a picture called Young Italy. It is a painting of an Italian child, so life-like that it must be a portrait, so intellectual that it cannot be a real face just enough idealised. Full of life and merriment, yet for the moment abashed and shy, she shades her eyes with one chubby hand in the attempt to execute the difficult feat of seeing you without having seen her. The complexion and costume are childish and rational without being a whit exaggerated, and the finish of the whole is very complete and consistent. A large and fine picture of the Valley of Mexico, displaying the mountain ranges and the city, which are the house of the American " sick man," whose complaint differs from that of his relative in Eu rope, in being of the frantic and delirious rather than of the somnoles2ent type; a Sunset on the Campagna, very rich in colouring, the higher clouds perhaps a trifle hard ; a Harvest Scene, also on the Campagna, full of bright light and life, and of the expression of Italian customs and character cen turies behind the age ; a brilliant Vintage Scene ; a group of Stone Pines in the Barberini Valley, fine in perspective, and in what I must venture to term silent colour, the light which sleeps, as it were, on every object in a still summer noon ; Views out of the Porta Salara and over the Lake of Abano adorn the studio of Mr. Chapman. Mr. Coleman has many fine views from different parts of the Cornice Road, all careful studies and satisfying expressions of colour, pictures which may be seen often without being exhausted. To specify one of many, the Mother and Child resting by the sea, especially pleased me for its representation of scenery, of national character, and of the realities of human life and feeling. In the same studio Mr. Butler, who has given one arm to his country, is engaged upon a Cam pagna Scene, where the genuine shepherd, true to the fact, seems trying how long it is possible to live without thinking, leaving the exercise of intellect and the care of his charge to a most wide-awake, important, and dangerous-looking dog, which keeps watch at his side. It is to be hoped this may be followed by many others, equally successful, from the hand of the same artist. Mr. Inman, who has been but a few months at Rome, has found that time long enough for very many representations of Ronan life, executed with a rapidity which would seem impossible from a study of the results. Most pleasing to the writer is one christened " Sunny Thoughts," a sweet child lean ing from a window, with serious but happy thought iu her deep blue eyes, innocence and cheerfulness in every line of her face, all according well with the bright light which falls over the golden hair and over the vine-leaves drooping from the casement above. Two views of the ruined theatre of Taurinena, in Sicily, painted by Mr. Hotchkiss, afforded me much pleasure. The pictures are similar, without being identical, THE SUN, LO.NuON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 15, 1867 The one nearest completion leaves the arches of the ruin in shadow, while the land, the town, and the quiescent volcano of )Etna, seen through and be yond them, are bright with the afternoon sunlight. The other catches the morning light upon the arches, while heavier shadows fall over the land- scape. Two views of Mount lEtna, by the same artist, deserve much praise. One of these especially, gives wonderfully, for so small a canvas, the idea of dis— tance. The eye is forbidden to rush over the whole at a glance, but compelled, as it were, to travel from point to point, detained by the delicate finish of every part. This completeness of finish and singu larly just distribution of light arc among the quali ties which have made the works of this artist de servedly admired. I noticed here also a small picture of the " Coliseum by Moonlight," which I may venture to term a good attempt to accomplish an impossibility ; a fine view of Torre di Schiair, with the Sabine hills in the distance, and a larger work, as yet but begun, showing the Arch of Titus, with the Coliseum in the background. The studio of M. Vedder, who has just arrived from Florence, contains at present but few works, among which I may mention a wierd and novel re presentation of a scene at the Crucifixion, the dead portrayed as meeting the living, as the crowds pass to and fro between the city and the Cross. It is a conception which gives much room for striking effects of light and shade, and the depicting of contrasted feelings ; but one which we cannot but wish were connected with some scene less awful and holy, where the free play of imagination need not be checked by any sentiment of religious awe. A view of the Convent of Say► Miniato is very carefully and effectively coloured, and one remarks a neat little series of illustrations of the celebrated fable of the father and son who bought a donkey, and having little of that animal's resolute independence of cha racter, endeavoured to please every one in the dis posal of their purchase, until, at the expense of the animal, they learned the futility of the endeavour. Should a similar fate attend the writer let no one be at the trouble to point the moral to him, for it is a result which has loomed above his horizon throughout the production of these sketches, which have now finished their perilous voyage along shores haunted by all the perils of Homeric times, where warriors and nymphs, sirens and furies, muses, fawns, and satyrs, Circes, Calypsos, and cupids, sybils and angels, the pale shades of the great, the powerful, and the rich, gathering in long silent ranks, and volcano and wilder ness, vineyards and harvest-fields, cities beyond the seas, and fair forms bright with the glances and all but the movement of life, rising in rich mirage, have mingled their various terrors, blandishments, and warnings. To those with whom these researches have brought him in contact the author would return his thanks for the unvarying courtesy and kindness. with which he has been received, and which seem to be accorded to all who show any intelligent interest in the works of our living artists. It is but fair also to add that some omissions have been unwillingly made of studios which circum stances rendered it impossible to visit, or which were seen at some disadvantage of light or time so great that no adequate criticism could be attempted. A better chronicler of their future achievements is the wish of the writer for those whose works and whose acquaintance will always be to him among the most pleasant memories of foreign travel. STRESA, LAGO MAGGIORE, June 3. From Florence we went to the Baths of Lucca which quite charmed me with its lovely chesnut and acacia trees. The excursions in the neighbourhood must be lovely. Hardly any one was yet there, for, although the hotels open on the Ist May, few visitors arrive till quite the end of the month. The rents are wonderfully low. A villa can be secured with two sitting rooms, two bed rooms, and three servants' rooms for the whole season for the consi- deration of £l4 ; this in a good situation. From the Baths, to Pisa, for two days, and then to Venice, where we spent eight charming days. Each visit makes me enjoy it more, and the gondola, giving air without fatigue, just suits the invalid travelling in search of health and strength. The place was crowded ; amongst others, the Duke of Brunswick, with a suite of fifteen persons, for whom every one in the hotel had to give way, even to the appropria tion of the large dining room. Venice is little changed, except that the Austrian uniforms are replaced by the Italian. The gondoliers grumbled and said they missed the better payments of the Austrians, but the shopkeepers are satisfied ; transitions are always trying, and things are not settled yet. In one respect there is at any rate decided improve ment ;—there is religious liberty uow. I went to a Scotch service at Venice, and liked it much. After the sermon the minister announced that the commu nion would 1* administered, and he invited all, of any denomination, who " loved Christ," to re main. I did. You know the forms of administra tion are to me matters of comparative indiffer ence. Many Italians were present, no less than twenty-two, who joined in . the communion and more would have come, only the smallness of the room, limited the invitation. An Italian gen tleman addressed them in their own language so distinctly and well, I could follow and understand all he said. At the close of the service the Scotch clergyman spoke on the words " I will see you again." We next proceeded to Milan, where we rested three days, and visited once more the beautiful cathedral. To me the interior is the most beautiful of all cathedrals. Here we saw again Leonardo's Cenardo, or " Last Supper," growing every year less clear from the damp, which cannot be arrested. Many are going to Turin to see the fetes at the marriage of Prince Amadeus. Do you know Stresa ? Many consider Maggiore the finest of the It tlian lakes. I prefer Como, but this is the widest view with more variety of outline. Many visitors are ou their way to Switzerland. I have not yet found it too hot, though the thermometer has been frequently 73. Yesterday and to-day we have had much thunder and lightning. On Saturday evening the lightning was the most brilliant I had ever seen. It was either summer lightning or the reflection of a distant storm ; there was not any thunder. It lasted all the evening, and the night was so dark that the outline of the mountains could not be seen except when the vivid flashes showed them as clearly as by day. Yesterday (June 2) was the celebration of the Unity of Italy. Illuminations, bands of music, and cannonading were the order of the day. The cannon were fired frequently during the day from the garden of our hotel. All the vil lages on the lake were lighted with Therecoloud lamps, and the effect was very pretty. Bishop of Tasmania has a villa on this lake, and is there now. There is Divine service here during summer. The present chaplain is an Irishman, from West Meath. Both himself and his preaching are popular. He has also established daily family prayers at 10 a.m., but few attend. We leave in a few days, and pro pose next to halt at Geneva, a place well known to Americans. General Sheridan appears likely to drop between the two stools of the Democrat and the Radical. A number of Louisiana Republicans are at Wash ington, demanding his removal on the ground that he will not punish the officials for the horrible man ner in which they broke up the Convention of last July. The Conservatives join in this demand, on the plea of the General's Radical policy. He has so decided all doubtful questions of the right of voters under the Reconstruction Act that the whites are almost entirely disfranchised, and the power has fallen wholly into the hands of negroes. A ru- Lemur obtained currency that the President intended to appoint General Thomas to replace Sheridan in the command, a rumour entirely without founda tion. The Attorney-General of the United States has at length given his opinion on the interpretation of the Reconstruction Act. In Mr. Stanbery's opi nion the disfranchising clauses are reduced to a very narrow operation from their equivocal language, which must be construed in favour of the elector. No one, he believes, is excluded from voting or holding office by reason of his having exercised such functions in the States lately in rebellion, being purely civil, as were necessary to maintain order during the progress of the war. Unless be had ' committed some offence, or held an office clearly re- ferred to by the oath of registration prescribed by the Act, he was not ineligible to vote. This will reduce the number to mere exceptions, and render it very difficult to exclude an - Southern citizens whatever. At the same time it -will lessen the diffi- culties of the military commander, 3, by enabling them summarily to dismiss the cases bi 'ought before them or their subordinates alleging disqualifications in Southern citizens to exercise their constitutional right. Indeed, if Mr. Stanbery is right in expounding the law, that difficulty would be altogether removed, as the power of the beard of registi y is confined to the administration of the oath, which, if the applicant takes, his name must be registe re I. Whether the individual swears truly or falsely is a question for ,he jurisdiction of the courts upon trial for perjury. When the elections are made the boards are directed to receive only the votes of persons on the registers. The instructions were issued, on the 27th ult., ap- proved by the Cabinet, alld sent to the various commanders for their guidance. The officer commanding at Mobile has reported on the late riot, by which it appears that the dis turbance was purely accidental, being wholly unpre meditated, and confined to the few people who chanced to be on the spot, which was soon vacated, leaving the police in possession. It was not till the police had arrested an individual that the shot was fired which gave rise to the riot. Judge Kelley during his address had been repeatedly interrupted, and symptoms were plain l y' sh own how distasteful his sentiments were to a portion of his audience. fired d t , h s e e eadisch arge towards of the th platform, some e pistol several shots were promiscu ously, but most into the air. The Mayor, N. S. Withers, wrote to the commandant, Colonel Shep herd, in a dignified and loyal strain. At the same time that General Swayne removed him for inefficiency he recorded his conviction that the police were deficient, not so much of loyalty as of good organisation. He adds, however, that freedom of speech and public order have long been greatly outraged in Mobile by a part of the popu lation, which presumes upon the sympathy of the police with rebel sentiments. In accordance with the views of the loyal citizens, who feared an out break might follow the riot, martial law has to some extent been temporarily established. The Philadelphia correspondent of the Times notices a report that a foundry in New York, em ploying 35 men, has for weeks past been engaged in making field artillery for the Fenians, and another in manufacturing small arms. Amongst all the rumours and falsehood there is little doubt of the truth that a raid is being prepared to be made from St. Albans, where stor es h ave b ee n accumulated. A National Council i s t o b e h e ld at Troy, New York, during this month, an d it i s sa id a force of 10,000 men, drilled and e qu i ppe d , many of them soldiers in the late Americ an war, are rea d y f or the expedi tion. The Fenians now own seven newspapers in the United States, two of which are published in New York, and one each in Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, Charleston, and San Francisco. These all advo cate a Canadian raid, and the Brotherhood are about establishing another newspaper in Philadelphia. The New York Nation, writing on this subject, says :—" The I imes of this city exposes an attempt on Friday of last week to revive the Fenian mania by collusive telegrams of armings and preparations in all parts of the country, which were showered that night upon the chief newspaper offices, and in some instances were accepted and printed for genuine. Such an imposition upon the public in telligence can have no other motive and no other possible effect than to plunder still more villanoutly the Fenian clientele, consisting, it is well known, of an ignorant, humble, and poorly-paid class, mostly servants, and largely servant girls, whom it is the concern of every good citizen to enlighten and pro tect from this organised piracy. W e are free to sa y that we hold it culpable to so much as a ttach the im p ortance of news to the sayings and doings of the ostensible patriots,' and that to employ reporters to retail the proceedings, opinions,' and intentions' of the Fenian headquarters is to assist in deluding and spoiling the victims, and to prolong the vitality of a most deplorable anomaly in our body politic. The first duty of the press is to ignore the Fenians as much as possible, and the next to denounce them as they deserve when it is necessary to notice their lawlessness and rascality. The Times, as we have before remarked, is one of the few papers that ob serve this rule." lot:e:raered:ein'owlditAhrgthene THE TOILETTES AT THE CITY OF PARIS BALL —We may state that more. irreproachable toilettes had never graced the Hotel do Ville of Paris, and that flowers and other ornaments of preceding years had given way to known to connoisseurs as having been ta n n eedle, were to be seen in wonderful ballal black s Chantillyfor ms.

Trade have received a despatch from the British Consul at New York of the murder of the chief mate, Mr. Tingley, of the English schooner Ottawa, by the master of that vessel, Captain William Pye, who had a rrivedthere, the crew hav ing secured him an d placed him in irons. Th e chi e f ma t e lived several days after the shig's ar r i va l at N ew Yo r k. He was taken to the hospital, wh ere h e made the follow ing statement to Mr. Washburn, the acting surgeon : —" I w as first mate on bo ard the schooner Ottawa, Captain (SouthtainW America), Pye was m as t er. We sailed from Para erica), on the 3d of March, for New York. On Tuesday, the 19 th March, a b out seven p .m., swad I was standing by the mainmast taki ng th e a l t i tude of the cabin, r who I su p pose d t o be. I told hi m I did no t the n Polar star. The captain came al ong and asked me what k no w, when ho fired at me. The shot t oo k e ff ec t i n th e fleshy part of my thi g h, which wa s Rot serious. I then ran e roun d under the Inaba boom, when h e ran after me and those second men worn m ttt doing and in the the steward. fired again, the ba ll taking effect in my left side, just above the hip. I hallooed out, and the steward, who was in the cabin, camp u p, when the captain fired at him. I ran to the forecastle to get out the cr ow, an d called to them to se cure the captain, which they did, as I suppose. I crawled into a berth in the forecastle. I had done my duty faith (ally, an d I gave no ca use or pr ovocat i on to the captain to shoot me. The captain was excited by jealousy. I had no difficulty with the captain on the homeward passage, but on the outward passage there was a difference between us as to the position in which I was shipped, but that was settled at Para." The mate died two days after Captain Pye was in custody of the police, but there being no law to take cognisance of the charge the Consul succeeded in getting the accused removed into New Brunswick (British colony), where he underwent an examination. The evi dence of several of the crew confirmed the dying testi mony of the mate. One of them added that when ho secured the captain he made an effort to jump overboard, but was prevented. The witnesses spoke of the deceased as a good seaman, and never gave any cause for complaint. All the defence the prisoner made when called upon by the Court was that he s h ot the mate without i n t en di ng to kill him. lie was fully committed for wilful murder. THE INCOME e l 2 AX.—A letter from the Commis sioner of Internal Revenue states that last year, out of the 35,000,000 people in the United States, only 450,000 paid tax upon incomes. This year the proportion who pay tax will be much smaller ' for the exemptio ns have been increased and th e returns made aro not ono-half those of last year. The largest income this year in Phila delphia is that of Jay Cooke, w ho was formerly the , Government loan agent who re t urn s $203,636, as com pared with $651,636 last year. I give also a few other returns of income. •The largest return in Washington is that of Henry D. Cooke, brother and partner of Jay Cooke, $69,040. In Washington, also, W. W. Corcoran, banker, reports $35,000 G e neral Grant reports $ 4,800 over and above his salary of about $lB,OOO, from which the tax is deducted befure it is paid hi m ; the Secretary of War, lir. Stanton, reports $3,500 over his salary of $ 3,000 ; and the Posttnaster-Gene ra l Mr. Rindal, reports $2,800 over his salary of $B,OOO. In New York, Moses Tay 10-, a largo shipowner an d extensive share h o ld e r in the Atlantic Cable Company, return $316,407.

Mr. Greeley, as we attempted to show last week, struck a formidable blow at the theory that there was any moral guilt in the rebellion when he volun- veered to become bondsman for Jefferson Davis. The few shreds of the doctrine which were left were carefully removed on Monday last by an article in The Tribune, showing that the rebellion was a "civil war," in all respects like the War of the Revolu- tion, and that therefore the punishment as traitors of persons engaged in it would be cruel or improper. During the progress of the struggle this view of the position of the Confederates—we ought now in decency to give up calling them " rebels"—was vehemently urged both by the Southerners them selves and by foreign orators and writer 3. When Americans, led on by the Tribune, filled the air with reproaches against Europe for not sympathising with the North, our claims to this sympathy were stoutly denied, on the ground that the war was a civil war like the Revolution of 1776, that the issue was simply a political issue, and that it was impossible to tell which of the parties was in the right till the contest was brought to a close, and therefore the English maintained that in the meantime they were justified by every consideration in giving their sympathy and countenance to " the weaker party." To this our reply, and the reply of our friends all over the world, was that the Southern attempt at revolution differed widely from the Revolution of 1776 in this, that the South revolted against a Government under which it had voluntarily placed itself, and from which it had received no injury, and that the avowed and sole object of the revolt was not political inde pendence simply, but the perpetuation of human slavery over half the American continent ; not free dom for the revolters, for that they had, but bondage for others ; not, in short, the object which had made almost all preceding rebellions justifiable and glorious, but another and most detestable one—the creation of a political system based upon the doctrine that God had made the poor and weak to be the cattle of the rich, bought and sold and bred for simple gain. The Republican press, to its honour, never tired of dwelling on this distinction between this rebellion and the rebellion of 1776. It was by the aid of this distinction that we won the support of the best and purest men of European countries ; it was this that supported the Lancashire operatives under their privations, and it was this, too, that comforted hundreds of thousands at the Nortliwhen the tide of suffering and sorrow had risen so high that no merely political gain seemed worth the prolo n g ation of bloodshed and devastation. The Tribune, too, which has all along been the great preacher o " moral ideas" during the war, rendered good ser. vice in upholding it ; though often exceedingly weak as to the political value of the Union, on " the guilt of the rebellion" it never ceased dilating. It now appears, however, that there really was no guilt in the rebellion whatever. There was no legal guilt, for there can be no treason, it appears, committed in " civil war ;" and if Davis and Co. could make a civil war without legal guilt, how could they incur moral guilt ? If they had a right to make war on the United States at all, they had a right to make it for any object that seemed good to them. It is none of our business to spread our social and po litical theories on foreign soil at the point of the sword. We should not be justified in declaring war against Great Britain in order to rescue her agricultural labourers from degradation. The rea son why we made war on the South was because the soil in which it sought to lay broad and deep the foundation of its accursed system was American soil ; because the men engaged in this detestable at tempt were American citizens; because the laws they broke were American laws ; because the shame of their doings was our shame, and because their success would have proved to the remotest ages a hateful monument of our dishonour. We ask any honest man in the country to look back to 1862 and 1863, and think if, in those dark and trying hours, he was not supported and consoled by this consideration ? if, when armies were giving way, when fleets seemed powerless, when Copperheads were joyous, when the whole civilised world was either mocking or pitying us, he did not draw confidence and courage from the consciousness that there was, after all, a moral ele ment in the struggle, such as no other war ever had ; that the rebellion was not simply a legal dispute, but a crime, and that the rebels were not simply bellicose publicists, but unscrupulous slave holders raving for 4 ' niggers" and cotton? The overthrow of this theory by the Tribune and the assimilation by it of our position to that of Eng land in 1776, and the position of the South to that of the revolted colonies, if acquiesced in by the public, will certainly be recorded in history as the most remarkable piece of self-stultifica tion on record. Self-stultification, too, is a very mild term to apply to it. Future genera tions will argue, and argue with reason, that there could not have been much moral sense left amongst a people who, after treating rebellion for four years as the blackest crime ever committed, denied when it was all over that it was any crime at all. Decency requires that we should keep up the humbug, if humbug it be, till our wounded and cripples have died off, and the files of our blattering moral newspapers have been removed out of sight. The world can stand a good deal of hypocrisy, be cause tit.; hypocrite, as has often been said, at leas', respects virtue; but knavery which impudently avows and laughs over its own cheats, and, more than that, claims for its self a place amongst the virtues, the world cannot stand.—The Nation. WESTERN CORRESPONDENCE. Our New Possessions at the North-west—Progress of the Pacific Railroad—The Spring Tide of Emigration. Messrs. Editors,—Hereafter you can do as you please about heading my letters " Western Corre spondence," for since I last wrote the " Universal Yankee Nation" has taken a mighty stride towards sunset and the North Pole. There is no longer a Russian America ; Brother Jonathan's suspenders, as England has already learned, lap over Behring's Straits. If we cannot, with John Bull, boast of dominions on which the sun never sets, we can boast of those on which that orb rarely rises—in the winter, at least. It is but a short trip from the Missis sippi to Cape Cod ; but from this great river to Point Barrow it is very much of an " undertaking." That Point, by the way, faces the North Pole, and is already suggested as a summer resort for the excitable Yankee who wishes to cool off. It is the most northerly point which we own, but the Yankee is at home anywhere, and can go farther into the hyperborean regions if he wishes to, and the polar bears raise no objections—no paws. " Come to think of it," his grizzly majesty does not easily frighten our brother, who feels as the Spartans did, that it is no death to die, but to run away—from accidental dangers. As long as ice forms in the streams of the farthest North-west for the markets of China, East India, Mexico, and South America; so long as the furred seal, sea otter, river otter, the sable, the black, red and silvery foxes, &c., are found up north, so long will Yankee pluck face the perils of the arctic climate and the arctic beasts of prey. Iron, copper, and gold are found in our new patch of land, and they will tempt the Yankee in bear-skin mittens and overcoat, and seal-skin overalls. On the western coast the soil is said to produce a good quality of barley, and also turnips, radishes, lettuce, and even cabbages—so the Dutchman can go there and raise his own saur kraut. Well, the 41st Congress will have its member from Furiaud, and Butler and Bingham may live to see from the territories of Sitka, Alaska, &c., grizzly repre sentatives who can beat them in growling. I write from the shore of the Mississippi, sixty miles south of Dubuque, on the line of the Pacific Railroad. Here a bridge spans the " Father of Waters," and men and cattle go over in cars dry shod. You buy your ticket here for a point three hun dred miles beyond Omaha; and during the twenty four hours which it takes to cross lowa and make the three hundred miles in Nebraska, the road has progressed two miles. Twelve miles a week, or about fifty miles per month, this road is advancing across the land of the bison. The smell of prairie fires, five hundred miles away, is in the garments .of pa Wingers who here shoot to the eastward, It is but a few years since the iron horse found his way to the eastern shore of this great river ; to-day he is snorting over the broad plains more than three hundred miles west of the Missouri. All along his track little towns are springing up, and a belt of the prairies is being dotted with humble farm-houses ; settlersfrom the East and from the old World are pouring in, and the " spring tide" of Yankee, Teu tonic, and Scandinavian enterprise was never higher. It is a solemn business to contemplate the growth of this nation, and with every emigrant train that bears to the westward, I feel like send ing up a prayer to Almighty God that Ills Spirit will leaven the heterogeneous lump of humanity that is accumulating in the valleys of the Mis souri, the Oregon, and the river 3 of the extreme North-west, emptying into the polar seas.— Watch man and Reflector. THE FAVOURABLE CROP PROSPECTS. The accounts published in the western papers of the promise of the growing wheat crop confirm the reports from the agricultural bureau at Washing ton, and indicate that the approaching harvest will 'be one of unusual abundance and excellence. The late and wet spring has proved less injurious to the winter sown wheat than to almost any other crop, and while it has retarded and strengthened growth, only pleasant and warm weather for the next month is needed to bring forward the grain to maturity with great rapidity. The spring wheat and corn have been less favoured, and the prospects for the success of these crops are more uncertain. Should the hoped-for change in the weather take place soon, it is not yet, however, too late to replace much of the seed that has spoiled since planting, and start again with better hopes of success. The intelligence from the farmers and wheat growers has already exerted an influence on the speculators' market, which mainly serves the public demand, and prices have taken a perceptible downward tendency. The certainty of the receipts of the advance of - the new crop within six weeks has compelled the speculators to offer their surplus stock as fast as it could be done with safety in order to secure themselves against greater losses to come. At Springfield, 111., flour declined $2 per barrel, and wheat 45 cents per bushel in ten days recently, and the same causes which wrought that change are likely to effect still greater. The entire matter of the unusual scarcity and dearth of wheat and flour in the Western markets seems to have been greatly exaggerated, and the stories of famine promoted, for the exclusive benefit of the speculators. The re ports of the recent receipt of California flour at Chicago grew wholly out of the fact that a few sacks were sent to that city as a curiosity, and not at all because of any deficiency in the supply at that market. A comparison with last year's figures shows the balance to be on the other side en tirely, and the amount of flour in store at Chicago last week was 25,000 barrels more than at the corre sponding time a year since. The speculators have maintained the" corner" on breadstuffs longer than they expected, and with very decided success. The ag gregate of the crop last year was unusually small, and they have derived the full advantage of its scarcity. The western millers now are buying only the wheat necessary to satisfy the immediate wants of their customers, so as to be ready to take hold of the new crop as soon as it comes in. In New England as well as elsewhere the prospect for the farmers is excellent. The spring planting has been delayed by the rains, and some seeds that were put in too early have rotted in the ground and must be planted over again ; but the rains have been just the thing for grass, which is our great staple, and the hay crop this year will make the husbandmen laugh. It is not too late to plant yet, however, and with an unusually favourable season corn and the ordinary root crops will have ample time to mature. Apple trees are not blossoming as full as it was hoped and expected they would. Last year was the " bearing year," and though the blossoms dropped off largely without perfecting fruit, so that it was not an abundant apple year, the trees decline to make up the deficiency entirely this season. There will be a fair crop of apples, judging from the re ports of the blossoming, but nothing more. With this exception the accounts of the fruit prospects from all parts of the country are the best for many years. Pear and cherry trees are setting a heavy burden of fruit, grapes look promising, and even the coy and grasping peach-growers of Delaware and New Jersey acknowledge that the buds have not been killed, and that the yield is going to be unprecedented. We are also to have a share of this delicious fruit in New England this season, after an interregnum of many years, and in New York State and at the West there will likewise be a good many peaches raised. The smaller fruits and berries also promise to be abundant and good. Strawberries arc already coming into market from the South, and the home product will be much larger than usual. The season will be at its height in about three weeks, and our mouth already waters in anticipation. The entire business interests and prosperity of the country seem to be hinged in an unusual manner upon the incomin g harvests, which are looked to to bring re li e f from the present famine prices of breadstuffs and provisions, and, through the trade which they will create, restore in some measure confidence and activity to business and enterprise, and it is fortunate indeed, or rather should we ',not say it is providential, that there is promise of such abundance on every hand.—Spring field Weekly Republican. THE AMERICANS AND THE CHOLERA. Under this heading the Times on Thursday lasi published Dr. Harris's terse and practical letter We fully agree in the importance of his advice to 44 put out the sparks." Harris, the registrar of vital statistics, Times y shaass : —" pr. addressed to the New York Board of Health a public letter, in which he says Since last fall the Asiatic cholera has been making progress in various coun tries, and both in Europe and America its smoul dering infection has been rekindled in a few places. Important progress has meanwhile been made in the practical application of preventible sanitary measures to restrain and extinguish the epidemic. Waiting the completion of our full re port upon these facts, the following brief sum mary of recent information is submitted : Several hundred scientific physicians in Europe have prepared reports upon their special in vestigations, experimental, microscopical, and chemical, in cholera. The grand conclusion of all the researches and all comparisons and analyses of experience relating to cholera may be summoned up in these homely words—put out the sparks ; remove the local causes that increase and spread the epi demic. The fact that cholera is propagated and spread by an infective poison which requires the aid of certain local factors is fully established. That it is not contagious like typhus and smallpox, and that the infective property of the excremental discharges of the sick and of persons that have been recently ex posed in places infected by cholera may be completely disinfected and destroyed by certain chemical agents, is the important truth which all classes of people should understand. Scientific chemists and experimenters and all sanitary officers now agree that saturated solutions of copperas and carbonic acid are at once the best and cheapest disinfectants that can be used against cholera. In every city that is now prepared to extinguish or prevent the epidemic there has been organised a system of medical relief and house-to-house visitation, to be ready before hand for any event. St. Louis put its excellent sys tem in operation soon after the first arrival of a cholera patient this spring from a down-river town. The disease did not extend to half-a-dozen persons. St. Louis now is, and is likely to remain, one of the healthiest and safest commercial towns that one can visit in America, thanks to the Board of Health. Very early in the spring the epidemic was re kindled in certain towns on the Misissippi, south of Cairo. It was conveyed many hundred miles up the Arkansas River, and to certain points north west on the Mississippi. But recent information warrants the hope that those outbreaks have been totally extinguished. Early in April an outbreak of cholera occurred in the city of Porto Alegre, in South America, and in a few days 50 cases occurred. This outbreak is supposed to be associated with German and French commerce that is held with that disturbed region. What intercourse has been had with infected West Indian or Central Ame rican ports does not appear ; and they, like the nearest European ports, are more than 3,000 mile s distant, Porto Alegre being 34 degrees south of the Equator, and not far north from Montevideo. About four weeks ago cholera appeared in London and in Paris, but it is reported not to have spread to any extent.. In the town of Elberfield, nea r the Rhine, and about eighty miles south-east ward from Rotterdam, the epidemic appeared, and has spread to some extent. That town is in a re gion that sends many emigrants to New York by way of Rotterdam and Liverpool, These facts can be understood by our people without awakening ' anxiety or fear, for to be 'forewarned is to be fore armed,' and although there may be numerous case s of cholera imported from the South and elsewhere, and though there may be repeated outbreaks in lower regions of the Mississippi, the means of sani tary protection arc definite, ample, and easily ap plied. plied. But wherever, in places that arc rea d y for the kindling of the epidemic, the true means °f sanitary protection are not applied, the pes tilence . may yet make deadly ravages. The watchword of i the Metropolitan Board of health--' Timely an d active preventive measures'—should be adop ted by every city and town to which the epidemic On come.'"—ilizglo-American Times. the COUNTRY MARKETS.
