Naval:and Military Intelligence. Major-Gen. J. 0. Travers, C. 8., Inspector-Gen. of the Royal Marine Forces, yesterday, accompanied by his aide-de-camp, Capt. G. M. Lennox, and Staff, went down to Woolwich from London and took up his usual temporary quarters at the Ro) al Cambridge Hotel, for the purpose of carrying out his half-yearly inspection of the division, which it is expected will terminate on Thursday evening. The Inspector-Gen. was received at the entrance of the Royal Marine Barracks, at half-past 10 a.m., by the Commandant Col. R. G. Connolly ; Col. W. G. Suther, C. 8., Second Commandant, and others of the officers in command, and was received on parade by the entire division, consisting of employed and non-employed men, officers, servants, and recruits, the division being drawn up in two lines in march ing order, and the recruits apart. On the General advancing towards the lines, the colours, in charge of the junior subalterns, were unfurled, the band struck up " God Save the Queen," and the men performed a general salute. He then went slowly down the lines,front and rear,after which they broke into open column right i❑ front. The knapsacks, laid out at the men's feet, were then duly examined, and the men were questioned as to any complaints they might wish to make, but no one replied. They were then dismissed from parade, and the Inspector General was escorted to the officers' mess-room. After lunch he inspected the barracks, pay offices, men's quarters, Commandant's and Adjutant's offices. He was to resume his inspection this morn mg, the men forming upon Woolwich-common in review order. Several members of the Ordnance Select Com mittee, including Col. Freeling, R.E., and Captain Luard, R.N., were engaged at Portsmouth yester day in inspecting the training of the 22-ton, or 600- pounder gun, by Mr. Cunningham's training gear, as applied to the gun, and proposed by him for train ing the heavy ordnance to be mounted in the coast and marine fortifications. The gun has been mounted on its carriage and slide for some consi derable time now, on the glacis of the new South sea fort, for the purpose of affording Mr. Cunning ham an opportunity for carrying out any experi mental practice for perfecting his training gear whenever he might desire to do so. Yesterday the experiments consisted in timing the speed of revolv ing the gun over to extreme angles of 90 deg., the power required to effect this, and the precision that could be attained with the gear in laying the gun quickly and with nice accuracy. The results, gene rally speaking, were that the gun was traversed from extreme right to extreme left by two men in 62 seconds. In ordinary laying of the gun one man was found to be sufficient to work the training gear —indeed, a boy about nine years old, who happened to be looking on, was found to be quite able to move the gun over the arc of training with quite sufficient speed under the conditions. As a concluding test of the power of the gear 28 artillerymen, with a 600 pounder shot, were placed on the gun slide and car riage, and with this extra weight one man easily traversed the gun from side to side of the platform, or, more correctly speaking, perhaps, from oue ex treme of training range to the opposite. Next, the smoothness with which the gun could be laid for striking an object was then tested, the members of the committee mounting the slide in succession and laying the gun on a passing vessel off the Spit Bank The ease and certainty with which this was effected elicited warm expressions of satisfaction. The mem bers of the Ordnance Select Committee afterwards crossed the harbour to Gosport, and visited the new semicircular granite battery building on the Ricker Point, at the east end of Stokes Bay. This is one of the newest designed coast batteries intended to have iron embrasures, and the committee appeared to be much impressed by the evident want of room be tween each embrasure available for training the guns of the battery (intended for 22 ton guns) in opposite directions, and also by the evident want of a means of taking into the battery, or discharging from it in the event of damage of any kind to the gun, such heavy ordnance. The deaths of the following officers have been officially reported at the Admiralty since July Ist : Vice-Admirals—W. Ilillyar, J. Parker, R. Beans, and J. Monday. Rear-Admirals—T. Hope, 11. Schomberg, and E. B. Tinling. Captains—R. Ma guire, W. M'llwaine, S. G. Cresswell, E. Monday, and J. S. Keatley. Commanders—W. Strickland, T. Cartwright, R. Williams, J. Murray, T. P. Evans, G. Selby, T. Boardman, W. Liardet, W. N. Boyce, A. F. Cope, B. Hunt, J. Kenderdine, W. D. Pridh am, M. Corbyn, F. H. Vyse, W. C. Simmons, and the Hon. R. L. P. Trench. Staff-Commanders —A. S. Knight, C. Cleveland, M. S. S. Burney, and W. C. Triphook. Lieutenants—F. W. Ingle field, and G. A. Stabb. Chief Engineer—T. L. Walker. Deputy Inspector-General of Hospitals— W. Dines. Surgeons—J. E. Hamilton, J. Sproule, 0. J. Llewellyn, W. T. Carr, and J. Lindsay. Pay- masters—W. Price and T. Young. Assistant Pay masters—C. L. W. L. Grange, J. A. P. Williams, and J. H. F. Alston. Royal Marines—Major-Gem D. Campbell, Lieut.-Cols. H. Fleming and J, Fleming, Captains H. C. P. Dyer, and E. C. Spar shott. The names of the following officers have been removed from the official list of the Royal Navy : Acting Navigating Lieut. A. D. Visme, Acting sub- Licata. T. B. Gough, A. P. Patten, W. E. Heath cote, and J. J. A. Campbell ; Assist.-Surg. T. Pur cell, and Chief Engineer J. Hood. Royal Marine —Lieut. J. 0. Maund (Artillery), Capt. D. Conner (Light Infantry). The Admiralty Superintendent of Devonport dockyard yesterday morning despatched the Assist. Master Attendant, Commander Francis H. May, in the paddlewheel steamtug Trusty, to the Eddystone lighthouse, to render assistance to the merchant steamship Hiogo, Capt. Balton, which was run on the rocks there yesterday morning. The Hiogo was bound for Japan ; her specie, amounting to £lO,OOO, is saved. The hired convict ship Iluguemont, which has been taken up by the Government for the convey ance of a numerous party of convicts to Fremantle, Western Australia, left the Nore yesterday, and proceeded down Channel, after receiving on board about 150 convicts from the establishments at Chat ham and Millbank. The convicts from the Chat ham establishment, at St. Mary's, embarked from the dockyard on board the paddle wheel steamer Adder, Mr. W. J. Blakey, and were in charge of a numerous party of convict guards and wardens, all heavily armed. Among the convicts shipped yes terday were a party of 15 Fenians, who were engaged in the late conspiracy in Ireland, together with the officers and crew convicted of scuttling the ship Severn, and some others who have achieved notoriety from their crimes. The Fenian convicts, like the remainder of the prisoners, were chained together in gangs, but it was observed that they were kept apart from the other convicts in a portion of the vessel by themselves. The steamer Petrel also brought down a number of convicts from the establishment at Millbank, for shipment ou board the Huguemont, in charge of a strong escort and convict guard. The Huguemont will call in at Portsmouth and Portland to receive a number of convicts from each of these establishments, the num ber shn is fitted up to take out to Australia being SUO. The convicts will be iu charge of a military guard, who will afterwards settle iu the colony. The newly-built screw slop Danae, 1,287 tons, 350 horse power, nominal, machinery by R. Napier and Sous, of Glasgow, steamed out of Portsmouth h;ti_bonr yesterday to make her trial of speed at lightest draught of water over the ►ueasured mile in Stokes Bay. A part of the full boiler power runs were made over the mile, when an unexpected and accidental fracture took place in a small drain pipe leading from the superheaters, most likely caused by the " jar" from the main feed pipe, and this accident at once put an end to all further proceedings for the day. The ship will probably resume her trials over the measured mile to-morrow. During the time the ship was under way the engine worked with admirable smoothness and regularity of action. Their revolu tions when under full steam pressure ranged between 92 and 94 per minute. The vibration of the ship was quite equal to what was experienced in her prelimi nary run last week outsi3e the Isle of Wight. The Danae will be fast under steam for her tonnage, but if the exerted power of her engines is taken into consideration, together with her improved form of bow as compared with her sister vessels previously tried over the mile, she may not prove to be what is generally understood as a " successful" vessel. The hired screw transport Golden Fleece, Capt. Smythe, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from Woolwich, to embark stores for the Abyssinian expedition. She will also take out with her the screw steam launch Waterwitch, recently purchased by the Admiralty from Mr. S. White, of Cowes, for the sum of £750, for special service with the expedition. Her Majesty's ships Rosario and Plover, recently commissioned at Woolwich for foreign service re spectively by Commanders L. H. Versturme (Aug., 1860) and J. A. Poland (Nov., 1863), yesterday had their crews and detachments of Royal Marines transferred, and are otherwise in a forward course of preparation for sea. The Rosario was brought home at the termination of her last commission by her present commander from the S.E. coast of America, and will most probably be ordered to the same sta tion, as the Spiteful, 6-gun sloop, by which she was relieved, has been ordered to join the Abyssinian expedition. The armament of theßosariois reduced from 11 guns, on the old system, to five of heavier calibre, and consequently her original complement of 115 hands all told is aho reduced to 110, exclu sive of 1 sergeant and 10 privates Royal Marines. The Plover, double screw gunvessel, recently built at Deptford, has been armed with 3 guns and 80 officers, seamen, and lads of all ranks, together with 1 corporal, 2 gunners, and 6 privates Royal Marines Light Infantry, and is now ready for final inspection. The Prussian screw steam frigate Hertha, and corvette Medusia, having brought over the seamen and stokers for the new steamship Kron Prinz, now fitting up in the Victoria Docks, and built by the Thames Ironworks Company, yesterday left the Thames on their return to Dantsic. His Danish Majesty's screw corvette Dagmar, 16 guns, Capt. Kreiger, arrived and anchored at Spit head yesterday morning from Copenhagen, bound to Cadiz, and exchanged the usual honorary national salutes with the garrison and the flagship of the Ad miral commanding the station. Capt. Kreiger afterwards landed from the Dagmar, and, accom panied by the Danish Consul, M.A. L. Vandenburg, called officially upon Lieut.-Gen. Sir George Buller and Admiral Sir Thomas L. Pasley at the Govern ment and Admiralty houses. To-day the officers of the Dagmar will visit the dockyard and shipping in the port. The United States screw steam frigate Franklyn, Flag Admiral Faragut, now lying in the Thames, was on Monday inspected by Commodore Edmon stone, C. 8., A.D.C. to the Queen, who went down from Woolwich, accompanied by his Flag Com mander Jackson, and paid a complimentary visit to the gallant admiral by previous arrangement. The frigate is accompanied by the steam tender Trobe. Admiral Faragut is expected to visit Woolwich and inspect the dockyard, and probably the departments of the arsenal in a few days. • SIR FREDERICK BRUCE. The sudden death of Sir FREDERICK BRUCE, her MAJESTY'S Minister at Washington, has caused a very general feeling of regret. Sir FREDERICK was popular; but though a finer and handsomer-looking man he was not so genial as his brother, the late Earl of ELGIN. It was generally acknowledged that Sir FREDERICK excelled the chief of his house in diplomatic skill, and this was fully recognised by Lord ELGIN himself, who had no small opinion of his own capacity. The last post Sir FREDERICK filled is now allowed to be the most important diplomatic position to which an English Ambassador can be accredited. Time works great changes in the relative importance of elevated trusts. Once the Lord-Lieutenantcy of Ireland was the most dignified, and not long since the Paris Embassy was the field for an aspiring diplomatist. Now the Lord-Lieutenancy is little better than a sinecure, kept up to gratify the vanity and to encourage the shopkeepers of the Irish metropolis. The Ambas sador at Paris might be prompted iu his interviews by the Secretary of Foreig❑ Affairs from Downing street, the telegraph almost whispering in his ear the words the Ministry desired to speak, and he is thus relieved from a heavy weight of responsibility. Her MAJESTY'S representative in India aspires to little short of the dignity of a monarch, and on the shoulders of the Ambassador at Washington may rest a responsibility which might fairly deter the most self-reliant from undertaking its duties. Judg ing of Sir FREDERICK by what we saw in China, we would say he was not a studious man ; yet, what ever his inclinations, he seems to have applied most indefatigably, thoroughly to understand the constitu tion of the country to which he was accredited, study ing both the parties and men who ruled. He was suc cessful in gaining Mr. SEWARD as a personal friend, and in maintaining the confidence and goodwill of the PRESIDENT. This made him of real use in handling the intricate and delicate questions which descended to him from his predecessor, Lord LYONS. Indeed, Sir FREDERICK was at once transferred from a post where he had little to do, and had been totally severed from all the great questions which agitate Christendom to one that above all others called for most tact, knowledge, and good sense. When at Peking the duties of the late Am bassador did not call for that careful attention so necessary at Washington. He lived in a Yamaun, which had formerly been the palace of a brother of the EMPEROR, and which under his care revived from a ruin, into more than its pristine taste and beauty. It was overshadowed by the great wall which separated the Tartar from the Chinese city. Its gate opened on the broad banks of what had once been a marble-bedded canal conducting a stream, long since dried up, to the palace of the EMPEROR, which stood close to his dwelling. It was in this Yamaun that Sir FREDERICK re ceived so genially, and entertained so hospitably, the officers and others who took the opportunity to visit Peking. Each night his dinner table pre sented the appearance of a mess, though sometimes graced by ladies. A few came from Tientsin, but there were two who, like Sir FREDERICK himself, were residents of the great Tartar city. One was the wife of the Russian Ambassador, Madame Balusac, who, young, delicate, and beautiful as she was, had ridden with her husband through the -wilds of Asia, passing over this vast continent in male attire. The other was a lady in whose society the late Sir FREDERICK found a peculiar charm, Madame de BOURBILLON, wife of the French Ambassador, a Scot by birth, an American by training, a French woman by mar riage, manners, and habit—she combined the traits of the three great nations, being Scotch to her coun trymen, American to the Yankee, and French to the Gaul. But this talented and well-known lady and her Russian friend did not comprise all the European women in Peking, who were such an un tiring marvel to the Chinese. Over Sir FREDERICK'S establishment a housekeeper presided, who ruled there as absolutely as the Brother of the Moon at the neighbouring Yuen'.ming-Yuen. This faithful old servant had administered to Sir FREDERICK'S wants when he was a puling baby, and, in her mind, the man remained associated with the child. " Lord ELGIN," she observed, " was like his Pa, but Sir FREDERICK like his Ma"—an observation which conveyed a more exalted idea of the beauty cf the family into which the de scendant of the great BRUCE had married than that of the great BRUCE'S descendants. Lord ELGIN, Viceroy of India, died at Dhrumsala, a hill station of the llimalayah, in the autumn of 1863, after a long and arduous career in the service of his Sovereign, ending in harness a life of toil, after at taining to the highest post the QUEEN can bestow. His brother, General BRUCE, shortly afterwards ended his career while in attendance upon the Prince of WALES, and but four years have passed away when the third brother of this old and historic family has been removed in the midst of his official duties. Not long since the American papers announced that Mr. SEWARD had extended to Sir FREDERICK a press ing invitation to accompany him to Aubrn. lie appears to have proceeded to Boston after his visit to the Secretary of State, and there to have con tracted the fatal and painful malady of which he died. The body of Sir Frederick is being conveyed to England in the China, which may be expected immediately.—Anglo-American 7 inz THE SUN. LONDON, 'WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 2, 1867. Miscellaneous Foreign News. Mr. Seward has addressed to the lately appointed Turkish Minister to Washington a protest against the interference of the Turkish authorities to pre vent the removal of certain Cretan refugees by an American vessel. The Secretary of State observes that there was no interference with the vessels of other nations engaged in the same humane work— that the action of the American officers being emi- nently humane and praiseworthy will be fully sus tained by the American Government. He respect fully requests that the reasons for the invidious distinction against American vessels be stated. The United States Minister in Mexico, Otten burgh, has presented his credentials, at the same time announcing his intention of returning almost immediately to the United States. The intercessions of Mr. Stanbery and many influential persons at Washington in behalf of General O'Haran were in vain, as he was shot at Queretaro on the 18th August. Admiral Tegeth off was at Vera Cruz on the 26th ultimo, and was to leave for the capital the next day, but if the news published in Europe be correct he has failed in his mission, Juarez refusing to surrender the body until certain terms are complied with, em bracing the recognition of the Republic by the Euro pean Powers. Advices dated Matamoras, Sept. 4, state that a proclamation had been promulgated, ordering the election of deputies to Congress, and for President of the Supreme Court on the 22d of September. The district elections were to take place on the 6th, 7th, and Bth inst. Congress meets on the 20th of November ; the President takes his seat on the Ist December, and the Chief Justice the Ist of June. The brigand troops of Canales had surrendered themselves to the authori ties at Linares. General Escobedo, with 2,000 troops, reached Monterey on the 28th ult. General Castillo was pardoned on the 13th. General Diaz retires to private life, according to some accounts, but others state that he is likely to prove a formid able competitor for the Presidency of the Republic. General Fitz-John Porter is at Washington ap pealing to the President and General Grant against the decision of a court-martial by which ho was de clared guilty of treason and of having disobeyed orders during the campaign, at Manasses, in the summer of 1862, and sentenced to be cashiered and for ever . rendered incapable of holding office under the Go vernment of the United States. He maintains that he was the victim of Mr. Stanton's malice, and alleges he can show the utter falsity of the charges on which he was convicted. He concludes his me morial in these words—" My appeal is to your excellency to appoint a court for the purpose of reconsidering the proceedings, composed, as I trust it may be, of the best talent and most approved pat ! riotism in the army. I have every reason to believe that, with such a court, I can obtain a full and honourable acquittal." He is sustained by Con gressmen Wilson, Sherman, Harris, and Banks ; by Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania ; Horace Greeley, and others. General Grant is believed to desire the case to be re-opened, and the President will order a Court of Revision, before whom, if General Porter substantiates his statements, he will be restored to his position in the Federal Army. The late elections in America indicate a change in the tide of political opinion. California has wholly fallen into Democratic hands. The Demo crats have secured a majority of 1,500 in Montana, in the election of James M. Cavanaugh, formerly of Springfield. In Vermont the Republican majority, which last year was over 22,000, is this year under 20,000. In Maine it has dwindled to a far greater extent, being 12,000 this year against 27,258 last year. All this indicates a change in the popular feelings, but it must not be accepted as conclusive proof of such a change. In California the result is due to the usual corruption following on a long tenure of power. In Vermont and Maine there were local questions which told strongly against the Republican ticket. Great opposition is made to the liquor laws, which prohibit the sale of even ale and cider. In October, elections will take place in Ohio, lowa, California, and Pennsylvania, for Judges for the States' Supreme Court. In Novem ber, New York, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Kansas, Wisconsin, and New Jersey will elect State officers. The New York Herald alludes to the rumour that President Johnson intends to prorogue the present Congress as an unconstitutional body. These " sensational" statements have been flying over the Union. Some assert that Mr. Johnson will deny the right of a sectional Congress to impeach him, that he will refuse to answer to the summons of the Senate, and if force be resorted to he will disperse Congress, and appeal to the pecple. These reports are mere inventions, as in all probability the Presi dent himself does not know how he would act under certain circumstances, and has no idea - what course the nation will take. Two Conventions have been held at Cleveland, Ohio, during the week ending September 7. The one was the Spiritualist brotherhood, who disagreed with the sisters, except on the point that they are spirits, and, as such, entitled to great liberty of action, every member going on his own way. The Fenian Congress was also held there, which trans acted most important business. The meetings were secret, the doors being guarded by men in green uniform, and the members under an oath not to divulge the proceedings. Notwithstanding the oath, everything has found its way into the newspapers. Roberts delivered two Messages—one for the public, the other for private consideration. He alleges in his private Message that he visited the circles in Great Britain and Ireland, and afterwards at Paris met the representatives of the Irish revolutionary brotherhood. On the 4th of July he succeeded in uniting the Irish revolutionary brotherhood and the Fenian brotherhood of America under one govern ment. Much discussion followed when the great blow was to be struck, and, to give full time for perfect readiness, the 4th of July, 1868, 1 1 was selected as the day. The Secretary for War, General Spear, enumerated the military strength as consisting of 9,300 enlisted men, 15,000 rifles, 16,500 sets of accoutrements, and 1,200,000 rounds of ammunition. Besides these there were stored at Oswego, Sackett's harbour, and other places along the borders of Canada, 5,000 stand of arms. He alleged that the Stephens' wing had 15,000 stand of arms, 15,000 sabres, and a vessel at New York (the one, we presume, in which the Fenians took the late pleasure trip round Ireland), as also a quantity of ammunition. It was agreed that four organisers should be appointed to raise troops, including ten batteries of field artillery, two light batteries, and three cavalry regiments. Ro berts declined the presidency unless $500,000 were raised for the cause, but eventually accepted the place on the meeting pledging itself to half the amount. The assembly was stormy ; great rows progressing, which kept up the excitement. The Fenian sisterhood, consisting of Irish servant girls, met at Troy, New York, where they transacted business much more sensibly and to the pur pose. They resolved not to contribute any more money to the Fenians, having "for several years poured out most freely their small means—earnings that were thrown away and wasted by officials on the merest frivolities in the city of New York, and on so-called military cam paigns, which had no foundation either in sense, practicability, or even well-grounded prospective success." They further resolved, " That they had not the slightest interest in the capture of Canada, and that they could not discern the propriety or fitness of the policy that w cold free Ireland through the reduction of the New Dominion.' " Who can say if servant girls can act so sensibly that women are unfit for the suffrage. American journals publish the new correspon dence on the Alabama question. The Tribune thinks that the United States and Great Britain are so nearly agreed that there is no insuperable ob stacle to a speedy adjustment of the diffi culty. The .New York Times observes that the progress towards a settlement cannot be regarded as unsatisfactory. The question is reduced to whether the policy, as well as the acts of the British Government and its agents in relation to the late rebellion, shall come under review. The matter does not seem material, and the principle of arbi trating these claims, if once heartily assented to on both sides, may produce a settlement satisfactory to both Governments without delay. The Journal of Commerce sees in the action of the British Govern ment anxiety to be rid of these claims. England is weary of the rough sports of the arena, but fighting us in the line of the United States, who find it to their advantage not to hurry up the settlement. The anxiety of England increases with the indiffer ence of the United States, who will get better terms every year it is delayed. Newspapers are weary of these long despatches, and they fail to excite much interest among people, on. the subject. The Democrats, who hold that things are going well for them, are overshadowed by one great fear. They dread some wrong move on the 'part of the President, and, to lay this ghost, it has been an nounced, through semi-official channels, that he "intends to keep quiet now until after the Fall elec tions," as he is "of the opinion that matters are just right, everything being favourable to a vindica: tion of his course at the polls," and " if he should go any further he is afraid he might make a mis take." The New York - World repudiates the President in the name of the Democratic party :—" As he gave us no aid when he might have aided us, why should we now, when he has no longer anything valuable to give, imperil our own cause by assuming the burden of his unpopularity ? As things stand, the Republican invectives against Mr. Johnson impeach their ability to choose a good President. A man might as wisely think to improve his social standing by living with somebody's repudiated wife as for the Democratic party to expect any advan tage from adopting, in the last days of his unsuc cessful administration, a fettered President elected by their enemies and popular with nobody." General Sheridan disappointed the enthusiastic public of St. Louis on his arrival at that city, as he replied very briefly to the speech of welcome from Carl Schurz. On Wednesday, the 11th, he pro ceeded westward and met with another public wel come at Leavenwoith, when he went on to Lawrence where he declined a formal reception. His post in the Fifth Military District is now occupied by General Griffin, whose headquarters ate at Galveston, Texas, and not at present at New Orleans, on ac count of yellow fever. His only child has been carried off by the disease. All General Sheridan's orders are at least just now to remain in force. The pestilence continues to rage along the Gulf Coast. The total number of deaths at New Orleans for the first week of this month was 249, and on the Sunday and Monday following the number was 100. The fever was spreading to the towns in the interior. GELV. 13U2LER ON AMERICAN FINANCE. American statesmen have introduced a custom unknown elsewhere, though convenient in many respects. " Stumping" is in comparison a clumsy expedient ; as well as serenades, balcony ora tions, and lectures, or the other means by which prominent citizens make known their opinions, and keep themselves before the world. Com fortably seated in his literary arm-chair, with a newspaper reporter at his writing-table, the aspiring American politician does his work more effectually than the leader of an English party hurrying over the provinces, bellowing from hustings, or making the glasses jingle as he brings down his fist on the table of a banqueting hall. It must be allowed that Americans are neat in their expedients, and are sure to devise the right scheme. The aspiring statesman, comfort ably smoking his cigar, with his legs crossed, head back and eyes on the ceiling, manufactures opinions, while the reporter of the Herald, the Tribune, the Times, or any other of the great oracles of New York, notes in shorthand the weighty sen tences. A drink, a hearty shake of the hand, and an admonition to put it all tersely into print, not forgetting to give prominence to this or that point, and the interview ends. But let us glance at what is accomplished. In prominent type the next day the honourable Senator's opinions are literally an nounced to the world. They are read by millions in America—they are read by hundreds of thou sands in Enrope—newspap , :rs take them as texts for articles—the telegraph flashes summaries all over the country, and it is known by those who hold similar opinions the planks of the plat form on which the politician intends to stand. Yet the statesman is, in truth, committed to nothing. Suppose his sentiments are denounced by the nation, as were those uttered by BENJAMIN WADE in his Kansas speech, all he has to do is to deny them. He can assert that no such conversation occurred, or that the reporter misunderstood him, or any one of the numberless evasions denied to the unfortunate who, in the face of half a dozen reporters and a hundred hearers, has giv en p ubl ici t y to his opinions. Thus he occupies the co mm a n ding position of hay . ing benefiting said nothing toh te fullest that x e really te commits him, yet of extent t by the publicity he sought. In this way President JOHNSON has more than once availed h imself of the columns of the London Times ; a nd in this way, but the other day, Senators SUMNER, and WILSON, and General BUTLER gave expression to their opinions in the Boston Advertiser. There was nothing important in the utterancea of the Congressmen belonging to the Senate, but those of the Representative, coming as they did f rom a leader of the Re pub li ca n party, are of grave interest. In General BUT L ER ' S opinion finance is the question of the future. lie holds that the Secretary of the Treasury should re commend that a loan be made in lawful currency, taxable as other property, to redeem with the proceeds the Five-tw enties. The ar g ume nts t hat a keen lawyer like BU TLER would us e to m a intain such a proposition m ight readily suggest themselves to most minds. In the first instance, he held to the strict wording of the bond ; legally, the United States are not compelled to redeem in gold. The law authorising the issue enacts that the interest upon the Bonds shall be paid in gold, and the principal shall be paid in " lawful money." Mr. BUTLER argues that this difference in terms was not accidental, but had special reference to the ultimate resumption by the Government of these Bonds in exchange for the currency at the time prevailing. What Mr. CHASE'S intentions were in making this difference when he drew up the bill, have never been explained. But the provisions made for redeeming the debt are conclusive proof that Congress in pass ing it understood and intended that the 5-20 Bonds should be redeemed in gold. This has been the in variable practice of the United States; and, in reply to numberless questions, the answer given by Mr. CHASE has always had reference to this prac tice, from which he saw no reason why the United States should depart. lt was provided that the Customs duties should be paid in gold expressly to enable the Government to pay the interest of its Bonds.iu specie, and it enacted that, after providing 1 per cent. as a sinking fund for the redemption of the debt, the gold interest of which was to accumu late for the same purpose, that the surplus should be T paid into the Treasury. The proceedings of Con gress afford abundant evidence of the spirit which actuated the Legislature. For instance, last year Mr. RANDALL of Pennsylvannia submitted the fol lowing resolution, w hi c h was unanimously carried, if we except the voice of Mr. TRIMBLE : "Resolved (as the sense of this House) that the Public Debt created during the late Rebellion was contracted on the faith and honour of the nation, that it is sacred and inviolate, and must and ought to be paid, principal and interest; and that any attempt to repudiate or in any manner to impair or to scale the said Debt should be uni versally discountenanced by the people and promptly rejected by Congress if proposed." That BUTLER should act Simocit's part in ad hering to the bond will not surprise the English who associate his name, however unjustly, with the cog nemen given him in New Orleans of " the beast." But the General is not without other arguments in favour of this iniquitous proposition, as those will see who read the article in the Nation we have transferred to our columns. The money, he main tains, was not advanced by capitalists from love or patriotic motives, but with the mercenary object of availing themselves of the State's necessities to in crease their piles. 'rhe bonds were taken up at a fearful discount, and already the holders have made from 70 to 80 per cent. on their investment. They are drifting into the coffers of bloated English capi talists, who, like leeches, are sucking the very life-blood of the nation while they riot in luxury in their European mansions. All other debts were paid in greenbacks—why should these bonds be an exception ? All other property is taxed—why cx empt these bonds ? Mr. BUTLER'S object is simply to take the wind out of the sails of his Democratic rivals, who are bidding for popular support. About character he cares little. He has always stood in every breach where paper pellets were flying, and made himself the most conspicuous object of attack. He was more careful where the pellets were leaden, for thick as his skin is he knew he could not turn them aside. Morally he is absolutely without fear. We hold with Senator WILSON, who believes that any question of repudiation will ruin the party making it. There are, however, safeguards independent of the national honour so dear to many Americans. The vast proportion of the debt is held in the United States, and mostly by poor men, though many Congressmen are heavily involved. The savings banks are involved fur millions, and in these banks are invested the hoardings of the working c:asses. It will soon be apparent to tens of thousands of voters that in tampering with this security they are annihilating their own savings. They may not directly hold the bonds, but they have entrusted their money to those who it is well known rely almost exclusively on them; and such interests ramify over the country, bringing home to almost each individual in his own, his relative, or his friend's ruin the realities involved. It is vain to talk to such men about " bloated British capitalists," and moreover a little careful inquiry would show such statements to be untrue. The dread of such action as Mr. PENDLETON and General BUTLER are now taking has effectually de terred British capitalists from investing largely in United States Securities. During the war United State Bonds were not looked at in England, while they were readily bought in Germany. It was but slowly they grew in favour on the English side the Channel, as the conviction forced itself on the British that the Germans, more really alive to their interest, had swallowed the oyster, leaving the shell, in the Confederate Debt, to the English investor. If 5-20's had inspired confidence on the London Stock Exchange the quotations at this moment Would not range between 70 and 74, but rapidly exceed par. It is deplorable to see leading poli ticians of the United States thus damage the public credit while gaining no object that can even further their own ends, for the injury sustained by the nation is not limited to their Government, Money is accumulating in European centres, and the capitalists know not how to em ploy it. The United States is the finest field open, where it could be used to the greatest advantage both to the owner and to the American citizen. Yet if such an agitation gains head, the United States will be barred. While such questions are discussed it is almost ironical in the New York Herald to I write as follows : "We repeat our advice to European capitalists to send their money to this country. Here they can get a high rate of interest, three or four times over what they get in Europe and with the best security. Let them send their sarplus money to us. We can absorb it all, and much more."—Anglo- American 7 imes. TIIOIIAS CLARKSON AND WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON. The following letter has been addressed to the editor of the Anglo-American Times : Sir,—The names of Clarkson and Garrison will be ever-memorable in the history of slave emanci pation. They were prominent among the leaders of the anti-slavery forces ; the former in England, the latter in the United States. By reading the works of an American, Anthony Benezet, a friend, on the slave trade, Clarkson's feelings were so wrought upon that he devoted his life to the cause of the slave ; and by the sympathy, aid, and co-ope ration of English abolitionists, Garrison was cheered and strengthened in his battle for emancipation. These reciprocal influences have characterised the anti-slavery movement. As " Uncle Tom's Cabin" revived the anti-slavery feeling throughout England, so did emancipation in the West Indies. The meet ing of the world's anti- slavery convention, and the Stafford-house address to America, cheered the hearts and strengtheaed the zeal of American abolitionists. Thus was English influence exerted to abolitionise the public sentiment of America, to change the character of its highest officials, and to liberate the slave. Twenty years ago all the American ambas sadors, with one exception, were slaveholders ; now they all abhor slavery, and promote justice without regard to complexion. Thanks to England for its share in so good a work. To liberate the slave was the life purpose of both Clarkson and Garrison. Both were able writers, and pleaded for liberty with pen as well as voice. Both with unflinching will breasted the waves of opposition, and persevered in energetic and self sacrificing labours. Both were trained up religiously --Clarkson in the Church of England and for the ministry, Garrison among the Baptists. Clarkson was a man of property. Garrison won his bread by labour. Clarkson, when a student at Cambridge University, preparing a prize essay on the unlaw fulness of slavery, was led to consecrate his life to the work of emancipation. Garrison, when con ducting a newspaper, was aroused to consider the wrongs of the slave by reading Lundy's newspaper, The Genius of Universal Emancipation, and having been visited by Lundy he was led, as the result of the interview, to consecrate his life also to the work of emancipation. The labours of Clarkson commenced English like : a committee was quickly formed, whose names were not much known, but who laboured energetically, and as the result the slave trade and slavery were swept away. Garrison commenced his labours American like : a public meeting was convened in Philadelphia of repre sentatives of the anti-slavery movement in the dif ferent States, a constitution was adopted, the American Anti-Slavery Society was organised, a declaration of sentiments was sent forth, resolu tions were moved, speeches made, and officers chosen ; a large staff of lecturing agents was employed, and numerous anti-slavery papers and books were sent forth throughout the land. Clarkson found the English public mind unin formed respecting slavery, but willing to receive light; Garrison found the American public mind unin formed respecting slavery, but so swayed by the slave party that it bitterly and madly refused to be enlightened. Clarkson's humane efforts were re sisted by the West India slaveholding interest, which then controlled the British Cabinet, both Houses of Parliament, and the mercantile classes ; but the religion of the people had not been cor rupted by slavery ; and religious leaders, such as Wesley, Watson, and Knibb, did excellent service in marshalling the devout of every name against slavery. Garrison's humane efforts were resisted by the Southern slaveholding interest, which not only con trolled the Federal President, the Cabinet, Con gress, and the Governors and Legislatures of all the States, and the mercantile classes, but the American churches also ! They were the bulwarks of slavery. Their members held 600,000 slaves, and their presses, pulpits, and benevolent organisations were auxili try to the slave party. In each religious body, however, there was an anti-slavery minority work ing for emancipation, some of whom, ministers and laymen, became martyrs. Clarkson walked in the light, and was clothed with the strength of the British Constitution, since Lord Mansfield had declared that a slave could not breathe is Englan.l. Garrison found that owing to the construction of the constitution by the judges throughout the land, it was the most formidable weapon uscd to resist his efforts. Hence, he styled it " a covenant with death and an agreement with hell." When the Constitution was flamed conces- sions were made to the slave party ; but as slavery was looked upon as a temporary institution, which would soon pass away, the word slave was not allowed to be in the Constitution. Owing to this there were two parties among the Abolitionists, one led by Garrison, declaring the Constitution to be pro-slavery; the other led by Gerrit Smith, contending that it was an anti-slavery document. In his early labours Clarkson placed more depen dence on the labours of Wilberforce and other noble minded men in Parliament than on popular agita tion ; Garrison from the first regarded popular agitation as the great weapon of warfare. Owing to his religious and political views Clarkson could unite with all parties who were working for eman- cipation ; but the views of Garrison, political and religious, restrained him to a certain line of anti slavery effort. For instance he held that as the Constitution was pro-slavery, he could not vote under it. The work, therefore, of forming a political Anti-slavery party devolved on those who could vote under it—among whom were Birney, who had set his slaves free ; Gerrit Smith, who purchased and emancipated some slaves belonging to his wife's relations ; Chase, now Chief Justice ; Lovejoy, brother to the martyr ; Senator Morris, and Cod. ding, one of the most . eloquent of men. Garrison, from his views of the constitution of the church, was restrained from battling in the religious assem blies with ecclesiastical slaveholders. This work was done by those whose views of church organisa tion allowed them to enter the conferences, assem blies, associations, and benevolent organisations, and in them condemn a slaveholding religion as spurious Christianity. Worthies in these conflicts were Lewis Tappan, Abram Stewart, Cyrus P. Grosvenor, Albert L. Post, Abel Brown, Luther Lee, Orange Scott, Mortlock, Rankin, Cheever, Fee, and a host of others. Clarkson in his labours was exposed to danger, and there were instances when his life was imperilled ; but Garrison was for years in peril of his life. The Legislature of Georgia offered 5,000 dollars for his head ; he was imprisoned 49 days in a Baltimore prison ; in Boston a violent mob attacked him, dragged him through the streets with a rope, and he was thrust into prison. One morning he found that a short gallows had been erected before his door in Boston, from the beam of which were suspended two halters, one for himself, the other for George Thompson, the eloquent advocate of emancipation, who was then staying with him. Over the gallows were the words " By order of Judge Lynch." Clarkson began his movement as a peace measure, and saw a moral agitation result in a bloodless vic tory ; Garrison began his movement as a peace measure, but saw a moral agitation, owing to the madness of the slaveholders, end in one of the greatest wars ever known. His own son entered Charleston leading the coloured troops. Victory was come, but not in the way anticipated. Clarkson never visited America, but he was in con stant correspondence with the Americans. I called on Mr. Dodge, a Virginian, the Governor of Wisconsin, and he told me he had received a com munication from Mr. Clarkson urging to see to it that Wisconsin should not become a slave state. In Kentucky I called on Mr. Clay, the present Ame rican Ambassador to Russia. He had emancipated his slaves, and told me that he had been honoured with two letters from Clarkson. Garrison, to promote emancipation, visited Eng land three times, and now at his fourth visit he finds that the truth of his own poetry, written on the walls of the prison in Baltimore, is realised : " Though beaten, imprison'd, put to open shame, Time shall embalm and magnify thy name." He is rejoicing over his labours, and greeted with honour for his life-long devotion to the cause of the outraged slaves. The Pan-Anglican Conference. Last Saturday morning the Bishop of New Zea land preached in the church of St. Lawrence, Gresham-street, taking for his text the 32d verse of the 19th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles— " Some therefore cried one thing and some another, for the assembly was confused, and the more part knew not wherefore they had come together." The drift of Dr. SELWYN'S sermon was that the minds of men being unsettled, it was necessary by some extraordinary measures to establish if possible peace and concord where now a war of opinion and discord prevailed. Men ran together in a tumult, some crying one thing, some another—themselves confused, and confusing others. This had its origin in the shallow fountain of human conceit, ignorance, and vanity. An outcry was raised at such trivial innovations as robes and forms, while men upheld errors that struck at the very root of the faith on the plea of the free use of reason and of speech. To illustrate the evil influence of this discord, the Bishop quoted the answer of a New Zealand chief to his question—Why was he not a Christian? "I have come," said the old and influential Maori, "to the cross, and I now see three roads branching off thus (stretching out three fingers as he spoke), the one is the Church of England, the other is the Church of Rome, the third the Wesleyan, and here I sit on the confines of Christianity until I know which road it is right to take." And there he sat, continued the Bishop, " till be and his family were overwhelmed by an avalanche," alluding, we presume, to the New Zealand war. "It was to dissipate these discords and that con fusion, to promote peace, and to affirm the faith with no uncertain voice that the bishops of the Church were about to meet together from all parts of the world." For this reason 75 prelates opened a Conference on Tuesday last at Lambeth Palace. It is interesting to inquire what is likely to be the result of this great gathering. Dr. SELWYN applied his text to the outside public, but is it not a two edged sword, cutting back as well as forward ? In no spirit of detraction we remark that the verse may be singularly applicable to the gathering at Lambeth Palace. The objects of the Synod, as enunciated by the Archbishop, are not the objects as announced from the pulpit by Dr. SELWYN. Even in making his statement he was giving an example of the truth of his text, that " some cried one thing and some another." If the most part know not wherefore they are come together, the assembly will in all probability be confused. Men holding strong opinions on matters of doctrine are little in clined to concession, yet it is by concession only that such an assembly can be made to agree. We have the greatest respect for the Bishop of NEW ZEALAND. We believe him to be one of the most noble and pure-minded missionaries ever sent forth by the Church of England. He has done his work at the Antipodes in a spirit that will for ever asso ciate his name with New Zealand. With his wallet on his back, his Bible in his pocket, and his staff in his hand, he had traversed the length and breadth of these islands ere cannibalism had ceased to be a custom of the natives: In a small craft for months together he navigated those stormy and almost unknown seas ; he has swam torrents, whose danger is shown by every mail from New Zealand, record ing more than one settler drowned ; he has crossed vast chains of mountains, through tracts of primeval forest, in which no living thing stirred, with scarcely a sign to mark that a human being had ever crossed before him, and where those who are lost, perish from starvation. Knowing all this, we would ask the Bishop if there were not those in that secret con clave who were ready to cry and to adhere to their declaration that " Great is Diana of the Ephesians ?" Is the Bishop certain that he was not among that number? A.man may believe strongly, even unto death, and yet be in error. The Bishop may so believe, but as the Bishop is not infallible he also may be wrong ; and if the conference had been held publicly there can be little doubt that it would have shown a considerable divergence of opinion among the assembled prelates. But Dr. SELWYN says, that there can be no faith where some say one thing and some another. Let each bishop freely state his opinion, and it is scarcely possible that some will not say one thing and some another ; yet, according to so good an authority, there can be no faith where this occurs, and if it has occurred, as undoubtedly it has, at Lambeth, there cannot be faith in that very conference which is to settle the faith of others. Dr. SELWYN repudiates the free exercise of reason in such mat ters, but reason cannot be banished in this all-im portant subject. Doubtless our shallowness and vanity lead us into grave errors, and those who rely on what they consider superior intellect for arriving at the truth, or in their egregious vanity set up their reason as a guide, may find that the truth " has been hidden from the wise and prudent, and revealed unto babes." Theology is not a progres sive nor an exact science. Nothing more is known now than 1800 years ago, or can be known in the future. And during all this period the world is revolving in cycles of errors. Church dignitaries may meet, great conferences may mark epochs, and perhaps tend to remove the prevailing error of the period, but nothing can be more certain than that new errors will spring up or old ones be revived. The more intellect and reason are brought into play, - , b......• the more likely is this to be the case, for it is the characteristic of ignorance to be guided, and know ledge to run alone. Therefore in ignorance some are less likely to cry one thing and some another ; whereas reason will surely lead its votaries into this. Yet whether for good or for evil, a great portion of Christendom has brought reason into play in the discussion of religious topics, and it would be wise in the bishops not to ignore this fact, but first agreeing amongst themselves, to lay down the re sults they arrive at, backed not only by so great a weight of authority, but also with as great a weight of reason and argument, when they will have ac complished all that man can, which is, that most, men will cry one thing, and be regardless of those who cry another. —Anglo- American 7 hues. SAVINGS BANKS. The official returns show that at the close of the last year there were 551 savings banks in the United Kingdom under the management of trustees-449 in England (with Wales), 52 in Scotland, 48 in Ire land, 2in the Channel Islands. There were at that date, the date of the latest return, 1,164,712 accounts open at these savings banks in England, and the amount due to depositors was £31,473,182 ; in Scot land there were 162,730 accounts open, with £2,751,323 due upon them ; in Ireland, 51,583 ac counts, with £1,540,578 due ; and in the Channel Islands, 19,366 accounts, with £454,688 due upon them—making a total of 1,398,391 accounts, with £36,219,771 due upon them. The expenses of management amounted to £134,131, averaging 7s. 6d. per cent. on the capital. The total amount invested with the National Debt Com missioners was £36,050,625, besides £376,084 surplus fund, and the balances in the hands of the several treasurers amounted together to £305,699. The rate of interest paid to depositors averaged £2 19s. 6d. in the English banks, £2 19s. 4d. in the Scottish, £2 14s. 9d. in the Irish. There were 1,259,222 several receipts from depositors in the year, and 979,172 payments were made to depositors. In England there are three savings-banks with more £1,000,000 of deposits those at St. Martin's-place (£1,626,435), at Manchester, and at Exeter. In Scotland the largest amount is at Glasgow— £l,ll2,lB9 ; and in Ireland at Cork— £2,555,092. Since the establishment of Post-office savings banks a hundred trustee savings banks have been closed and transferred to Post-office savings banks by transfer certificates, with deposits amounting to £1,105,066, belonging to 50,835 depositors ; besides which it is estimated that further deposits amounting to £170,000 were in fact transferred in cash by about 8,000 depositors. With the competition of the Post_ office banks it is not surprising that the deposits in the savings banks managed by trustees decline ; the decrease in 1866 as compared with 1865 was £2,224,236.
