Naval and Military Intelligence. Yesterday the chartered troopship Countess Rus sell, which has been taken up by the Government for the conveyance of troops to India, embarked at Gravesend, for Kurrachee, 309 non-commissioned officers with 36 soldiers' wives and children, belong ing to the 7th (Queen's Own) Hussars, 21st Hus sars, Royal Artillery, 36th Regiment,lo4th (Bengal Fusiliers), and 106th (Bombay Light Infantry) Regiments. The following officers embarked with the detachments—viz., Capt. J. G. Campbell, 104th Regiment, in command ; Cornet Lord M. T. De la P. Beresford and Cornet C. F. Thomson, 7th dus sars ; Lieut. 11. Barron, Royal Artillery ; Lieut. F. B. Prinsep, 21st Hussars ; Lieut. W. A. C. Stuart-Menteth, 106th Regiment; Ensign H. W. Pride and Ensign J. J. Rose, 36th Regiment ; with Staff Assist.-Slrg. J. R. Croker in medical charge. The Ilhnalaya, which has been taken up by the Hon. Council of India for the conveyance of rein forcements for the various corps serving in Madras Presidency, embarked at Gravesend yesterday de tachments of the Royal Artillery, from the Ist divi sion of the Depot Brigade, 2d battalion of the 19th Regiment, 2d battalion of the 24th Regiment, 3d battalion of the 60th Rifles, and the 76th Regiment, the whole numbering 359 non-commissioned officers and men, with 20 soldiers' wives and 25 children. The following officers also embarked with the troops:—Capt, G. Hatchell, 3d battalion of the 60th Rifles, in command ; Capt. W. A. H. Plasket, 2d battalion of the 24th Regiment ; Lieut. F. M. E. Vibart, Royal Artillery ; Ensign H. Fawcett, and Ensign C. A. Mercer, 2d battalion of the 19th Re giment ; Ensign W. Sugden, 2d battalion of the 24th Regiment ; Ensign J. D. Cunyngham, Ensign E. H. Thurlow, and Quartermaster W. Fitzhenry, 3d battalion of the 60th Rifles ; and Ensign J. B. M. Taylor, 76th Regiment; the whole in medical charge of Staff Assist.-Surg. Applin. The embarka tion of the officers and troops was expeditiously effected under the superintendence of Brigade Major W. W. Lynch, 2d Royals, and the officers connected with the Quartermaster-General's department at Chatham garrison, the Countess Russell and Hima laya having been previously inspected by Major- General Freeman Murray and the officers of the medical staff at Chatham. The screw gu❑ vessel Myrmidon, 4, 200-horse power, Commander Johnson, fitting for sea, bent sail yesterday in Chatham harbour. The officers appointed have joined and taken up their com missions. A portion of the detachment of Royal Engineers selected for service with the Abyssinian Expedition, consisting of Lieut. A. R. Puzey, three non-com missioned officers, 13 Sappers and Miners, and two buglers, were not able to proceed from Chatham with the remaining part of the 10th company, in consequence of there being no room for them on board the screw steamer Mendoza. An order was received at head-quarters yesterday directing them to proceed by the African mail steamer on the 12th inst. The parties of Royal Engineers already de spatched from Chatham to Abyssinia include a staff of 7 photographers, 25 telegraphists, 11 signalmen, fur signalling by day with the flag signals and at night with Capt. Bolton's lime light and lamp signals; 21 well-sinkers and 16 artisans of various trades and miners. In consequence of the extraordinary suc cess attending the experiments made at the Royal Engineer field-works with the new American inven tion for boring for and obtaining water at any depth, 100 of the American tube wells, instead of 50, as originally ordered, have been despatched from Chatham for use along the line of route to be taken by the troops. The trials made at Chatham prove that with this invention a well can be bored in the space of a few hours, and a constant supply of water obtained. The dismounted portion of the B troop of the Royal Engineer Train arrived at head-quarters, Chatham, yesterday, from Aldershott, the mounted portion of the troop arriving to-morrow. The dis mounted party of the A troop left Chatham yester day under the command of Lieut Sir A. W. Mack worth. The following officers proceeded from head quarters with the mounted detachment of the A troop—viz., Capt. E. Micklem, Lieut. B. Blood, Lieut. A. D. V. Brooke, Lieut. G. W. Tisdall, and Veterinary Surd. T. %V. Mayer. On Tuesday the Aldershot division, under the command of Lieut.-Gen. the Hon. Sir Jas. Yorke Scarlett, K.C.8., was exercised in route-marching. The division marched from camp at half-past eight o'clock, and proceeded to Ash-common, where it was disposed for outpost duty, so as to meet an enemy supposed to be marching from Guildford, by way of Ash station, upon the camp at Aldershot. The Ist Dragoon Guards formed up near the village of Normandy, under Capt. Hubback, and threw out vedettes on the hills overlooking Guildford. C bat tery of the C Brigade Royal Horse Artillery, under Lieut. Seaward, unlimbered near Normandy church, and pointed their guns towards the direction from which the enemy was approaching, being supported by E battery, under Captain Hill, and D battery, under Capt. Tintbrell. Col. Hammond commanded the whole of the Royal Horse Artillery. The 4th Dragoon Guards formed on the road between Nor mdndy church and Ash station. In this arrange ment Major-Gen. Hodge, C. 8., inspected the posi tion, and complimented Capt. Hubback upon the satisfactory manner in which he disposed his men. Almost in front of the 4th Dragoon Guards were were the 44th Regt., under Col. Hort ; the 80th, under Major Margeson ; the 43d Light Infantry, under Col. Synge ; the 54th, under Col. Thomson ; and the 56th, under Col. Bull. The left of the whole WAS protected by the 68th Light Infantry, under Col. Shuttleworth ; C battery of the 9th brigade Artillery was under the command of Capt. Elton ; and C battery of the 4th brigade under Capt. Piel. The ground selected in many respects resembled a part of the plateau of Inkermann, on which that day 13 years (the sth Nov., 1854) the memorable and sanguinary battle of that name was fought. The movements of the supposed enemy were a repetition of the RusSian tactics at liakerman. He, however, attacked the right of the division and endeavoured to turn that flank. To oppose him the Royal Horse Artillery opened a terrific cannonade, but were obliged to retire, covered by the cavalry, who ma noeuvred faultlessly over very difficult ground, and showed a constant front. Nearly at the same time the field batteries dashed to the front of the infantry and enfiladed the advancing enemy, who ultimately turned the right flank of the division, upon which the infantry concentrated their fire in conjunction with the artillery upon him. The 43d Light Infan try retired in beautiful order, covered by skirmishers, on the main body of the division, the whole ceased firing, took ground to the right, and again went into action. The infantry formed line at the base of the bills, and the artillery fired over their heads. This movement corresponds with that made by the Bri tish when, at Inkermann, Gen. Bosquet came to their assistance, and decided the fate of the day. troops then marched to quarters, at which they arrived about half-past 1 o'clock. The weather was very favourable for the manoeuvres. The West African mail brings intelligence that Her Majesty's ship Investigator got ashore in the Niger, and was attacked by the natives, who killed twc of her crew, and wounded several others. A sanguinary war was being carried on between the natives in Old Calabar.

The Fenian Trials at Manchester. MANCHESTER, Nov. 6. The five men, Nugent, Branuen, Featherstone, Coffey, and Martin, were placed in the dock at nine o'clock, and The - Attorney-General replied upon the whole case. He said but for some remarks that had fallen from the learned counsel for the prisoners he should not again have referred to the general outline of the facts of the case. He then narrated with detail the whole circumstances, alluding to the arrests of Kelly and Deasey and the attack on the van, and went on to say that the reason he repeated it was because Sergeant O'Brien had raised a point as to whether any warrant of remand had been made out. The Attorney-General was prepared to trace the history of the warrant, and two clerks had been brought forward from the gaol awl court for that purpose; he did not think his learned friend should have raised the point at all. Mr. Sergeant O'Brien--I never said a word about examining the witnesses. Mr. Justice Blackburn—lf you remained silent, Brother O'Brien, and the witnesses were in attend ance, it is all the same as if you assented. The Attorney-General said he assumed that his learned friend was satisfied with the evidence given on that point, and went on to say that the jury would find beyond all doubt that there was a combination of persons who were members of that absurd, wild, and desperate Fenian conspiracy, and that the prisoners formed part of the conspiracy. Ms learned friend (Mr. Seymour) had said that, having regard to the convictions which had already been obtained, he should have thought that justice had been sufficiently vindicated. Those conducting the prosecution were not there to ask vengeance against any one of the men in the dock, but they were asking that those proved to have been engaged in the attack on the van should not escape the punish ment which their crime deserved. It would be most improper on the part of the jury if, after the magis trate had committed and the grand jury found true bills against them, they had hesitated to submit their cause to a proper tribunal, to say whether they were satisfied that all the prisoners or any of them were engaged in the desperate enterprise. Bacon's case had not been clearly made out, and the prosecution had at once consented to his being released. That case, however, did not apply to the other five prisoners, and in regard to them he en dorsed most fully the remarks of their learned counsel, that there was upon this occasion con siderable fear and confusion, and that consequently there might b:!. cases of mistaken identity, but that was a question for the jury to determine. Mr. Justice Mellor then summed up, in the course of which he said that the alibi set up for Martin was a strong one; and that the witnesses who supported it were not in the least open to any imputations as to their characters. This case he impressed upon the jury to keep distinct. Then, again, with regard to Nugent, a very important alibi had been set up, and he therefore called their special attention to it. He afterwards referred re spectively to the other three prisoners, for all of whom he said an alibi had been set up, and he pointed out to the jury the importance of their carefully considering the whole of the evidence before arriving at a decision. The jury retired at 20 minutes past 1 o'clock, and some discussion arose upon the expediency of having two courts, but it was decided that one court only should sit. The court then adjourned for half an hour. In their absence, Mr. Justice Blackburn asked Mr. Digby Seymour if the objection he had taken to the remaining cases being tried in two courts still remained. Mr. Seymour replied in the affirmative. Mr. Justice Blackburn said in that case his brother Mellor would go back to London, and he (Mr. Justice Blackburn) would take the remaining cases. Mr. Seymour said if the prisoners were to be tried for murder they ought to have the benefit of the services of both their counsel. Mr. Justice Blackburn said if only one Court continued to sit only one judge would be required, and the state of public business in London was such as to need the presence of the second judge. Mr. Justice Mellor said the judges never con templated sitting together except at the commence ment, when they thought their decision might be required upon certain legal points. While the Jury in the above case were deliberat ing, the following prisoners were arraigned on the charge of having feloniously, wilfully, and with malice aforethought, killed and murdered Charles Brett :—Henry Wilson, 27, Thomas Scalley, 22, Michael Maguire, 32, William Murphy, 25, and Michael Joseph Boylan, 37. The Attorney-General (Sir J. B. Karslake), Mr. Pickering, Q.C., Mr. Sowler, Q.C., and Mr. Hannan appeared on behalf of the prosecution ; Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., appeared for the prisoners Wilson and Boylan, Mr. Sergeant O'Brien for Maguire alone, and for Wilson and Boylan with Mr. Sey mour ; Mr. Ernest Jones appeared with Mr. Sey mour for Wilson and Boylan, and alone for Scally ; and Mr. Cottingham appeared for Murphy alone, and with Mr. Seymour for Wilson. The whole of the prisoners pleaded not guilty. The Attorney-General opened the case for the prosecution by briefly recapitulating the facts twice previously stated, and at the close of his statement he informed the jury that he should withdraw the capital charge against Boylan, Scally, Maguire, and Murphy, in reference to whom the requirements of justice might be satisfied by trials on other charges; but with regard to Wilson he did not think he should be justified in taking that course. In reply to Mr. Justice Blackburn, The Attorney-General said he did not propose to tender any evidence against the four prisoners who were arraigned with Wilson on the charge of murder. The four prisoners referred to by the Attorney- General were put at the back of the dock, and the trial of Wilson, for the murder of Charles Brett, then proceeded. Police-constable Yarwood repeated the evidence given by him on the two previous trials, and stated, with reference to Wilson, that he saw Wilson stand ing near the railway arch on the Hyde-road with Boylan when the van drove up. The plan of the scene of the outrage, put in during the previous trials, was again produced and proved. The jury proceeded to inspect the van, and upon their return, George Munroe spoke to the accuracy of the model of the van produced in court. Police-constable Romily, one of the policemen who sat on the left of the driver of the van on the day in question, was called, and repeated the evi dence he had previously given. Thomas Paterson was next called, and repeated his former statement. Emma Halliday also went thruugh the evidence she gave on previous occasions. Mr. Pennington next deposed to his statement previously given. John Dickens, detective officer, deposed to the apprehension of Kelly and Deasy. The trial was proceeding when our report left. Just previous to our parcel being despatched Mr. Justice Blackburn stated that the jury had sent him a note asking whether if they acquitted any one of the prisoners of the charge of murder they would be liable to be indicted upon the minor charges. His lordship replied that the committal on the capital charge would not prevent their being indicted on the other charges. At five o'clock the jury returned a verdict of ac quittal in the case of the prisoners Martin, Nugent, Bacon, Brannen, Featherstone, and Coffey. [ADVERTISEMENT.] - Holloway's Ointment.

An adjourned meeting of this company was held at Tottoes on Tuesday ; Mr. J. Bowden in the chair. There was a large attendance of shareholders. The CHAIRMAN said the arrangements they were endeavouring to make with a contractor for com pleting the railway had not yet been fully carried out. He had hoped they would have some definite arrangements for making the railway forthwith, and he assured the meeting the directors were doing as much as they could in order to accomplish that desirable object. The chief obstacle, however, that they had to encounter was the raising sufficient money to pay for the land they required. After they had the necessary capital they could finish the line within seven or eight months. The proceedings then terminated. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 7, 1867 GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA.

The total receipts from the Ist of July to the above date amounted to £433,407, and for the same period last year to £447,534, showing a decrease of £14,127. FALMOUTH DOCKS. A special meeting of this company was held to consider a proposal to hand over the concern to the Public Works Loan Commissioners, in consequence of the inability of the directors to find money for carrying out the undertaking ; Mr. A. Fox presided. After considerable discussion it was resolved by a large majority that the course adopted by the direc tors in asking the Public Works Loan Commis sioners to take possession of the undertaking, and to take advances during their possession for the re pair, security, and completion of the works was the best for the interests of all parties concerned, and was approved by the meeting. The works had for some time been in a critical condition from the dam age sustained during the last winter, and no further funds could be raised. Three of the directors argued that another effort ought to be made to raise sufficient capital before the works were handed over to the Commissioners, but this view was entertained by only a small mino rity of the shareholders. THE ROMAN QUESTION. Letter of the Bishop of Orleans Requesting the Prayers of the Clergy and of the Faithful of his Diocese for the Pope and the French Army. Gentlemen,—l have nothing new to tell you of the grave events which for a month have caused such grievcus anxiety to all Christian hearts in France and in the world. The public prints, from day to day, have kept you well informed as to what is going on. You know what pressing dangers sur round and threaten at this moment the capital of Catholicity and the supreme head of the Church. You know with what courage thousands of brave men risk their lives and shed their blood in daily combats for this great and holy cause, which is not only the cause of God and of the Church, but is, at the same time, and in the highest degree . , the cause of European order, of the law of nations, and of French honour, threatened and set at defiance by the unchained bands of the Revolution, and by the odious complicity of the Italian Govern ment, oblivious of its most solemn engagements. You have heard that a French army and a French fleet assembled in our great port of war in the Me diterranean, and whose departure was suspended for some days in consequence of better news from Florence, have again received the order, and this time definitely, to carry our flag to Italian shores in order to cause the faith of violated treaties to be respected, and to avenge, if need be, our out raged honour, and the highest interests of our re ligion trampled under foot. In such solemn cir cumstances you will easily understand, gentlemen and dear fellow-labourers, the imperious duty which weighs upon us. All among us cannot offer to the Church and to society, so unworthily attacked, the tribute of their blood or of their fortune. And I am glad of this opportunity of offering a public tribute of gratitude and admiration to those who, day after day, and with such generous eagerness, are giving so noble a testimony of their love for the Church ; but all, at least, owe to this great cause the succour of their most ardent prayers, and this succour, so powerful with God, we ask at your hands, and that you also in your turn will ask it from all Christian souls in your parishes. And what is happening in good sooth ? Will the revolutionary bands, hitherto repulsed and beaten in every encounter by the heroic defenders of the Pope„' but reformed and increased by new and abominable treachery, be forced to re-cross the frontier ? Or will the Italian army, which is nearer to Rome than the French troops, march on Rome ? Will the small and va liant Pontifical army, if it escape another Castelfidardo, give time for our troops to come up? These are questions which at this moment a de cisive engagement has perhaps settled. But in spite of all that the Revolution may do, and though its criminal attempts may for a moment triumph, it is vanquished and dishonoured beforehand. Yes. It is vanquished. We have seen it during many months publicly organizing against the faith of treaties its odious invasion ; we have seen it add to dishonesty impudence and lying ; disavow in ap pearance what it encouraged in reality ; arrest derisively, and when all was ready, the man who had prepared all. It believed that its bands would march from victory to victory in the midst of insurgent populations ; that the 6,000 soldiers of the Pope would fly before them ; and that, deserted and betrayed, the handful of Papal Zouaves and of Swiss and Belgian volunteers would with ease be crushed ; but no, the Revolution was deceived in all its calculations. Four striking and decisive facts redound to the eternal credit of the Pope and to the confusion of the revolutionists. The fidelity of the Roman populations, who have applauded the soldiers of the Pontiff, and have demanded arms to repel the invaders. The soldiers of the Pope have in every encounter fought like heroes. This very morning I read in an Italian paper, foaming with rage, words which I will recite to the honour of the valiant Roman troops. " Our Reds, i nostri rossi, it is true, have not been conquerors ; but they have compelled us to acknowledge what we wished to ignore—the energy and the valour of the soldiers of the Pope." As to the Zouaves—l say it with pride, for they are almost all children of France—they fought like the sons of the Cru saders, have covered themselves with glory, and have won praise from all Europe for their gallantry; and the Antibes Legion has shown itself worthy the French army, which.it represents. I give it no other eulogy. And what has been seen after the news of the first combats ? Courageous young men hurrying to the defence of the Holy Father, to take the places of those who have fallen—the old combatants of Castelfidardo ; one leaving his young wife, another his first-born, another his betrothed ; and if at this moment there are mothers who shed tears of joy and of sorrow over their sons who have fallen martyrs in the sacred cause of the Pontiff, there are others who weep because their sons are too young to go to the battle-field. And what, finally, shall I say of that noble en thusiasm of Catholic hearts which is everywhere manifested by the generous offerings for the Papal army ? " Such facts," even an English paper, the Morning Post, acknowledges, " are de cisive against the Revolution and in favour of the Pope, and Europe cannot but accept such a ver dict." Indeed, is there an honest man who would not be disgusted with the infamous means to which the Revolution has recourse ? How, then, does faith or law, or truth or honour, exist no longer in Italy ? Were such lies and such deceit seen before ? And what do these people take France to be And when tired out by the comedy which is played before the eyes of Europe, while the blood of her children is flowing in twenty combats, France at last speaks of intervention ; the Italian Government multiplies its promises and assurances ; the Moniteur takes note of it ; the tele- graph stops the Toulon squadron,' and the following day it is ascertained that all is but a fresh mockery. The man of Asinalunga again appears and haran gues the population of Florence ; he traverses Italy, rejoins his bands, and at this hour is on his march to Rome. By a generous impulse our valiant sol diers, who once before have driven out of Rome the man who now is menacing it, have again gone to its protection. May they arrive in time to pre vent the greatest evils, and to save together with the Holy See, the honour and peace of Europe. For us, my dear brethren, let us pray, while our sons and our brethren are fighting; let us lift up our hands to Heaven, and pray with perfect una nimity for the Holy Father, for the Church, for Rome, for Italy, and for France ; for this little Pontifical army and these brave soldiers and sailors whom the Emperor, inspired by his duty and his honour, as head of the first Catholic nation, sends once more to perform the mission consecrated by ten centuries, which is one of the most ancient and most illustrious of the glories of our country, and perhaps the greatest secret of its force and of the blessings which God, notwithstanding our faults, has never ceased to bestow upon us. INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT, Our great contemporary writes on the expediency of a copyright law between England and the United States, as if there was something peculiarly dis honest in Americans helping themselves gratis to English literature ; a dishonesty they only began to feel when English publishers retaliated by helping themselves gratis to the product of the American literary brain. Authors have nothing to do with this piracy—they are the victims, the English to the greater extent, as more works worth stealing are produced in Great Britain than in the United States. Nor is the publisher to blame, who may be a keen lover of literature, or an author ; but as a publisher be is engaged in a manufacturing business which he has to conduct on the business principles of his trade ; which are guided by the simple rule —to make the most. In America, if the raw ma terial can be furnished for nothing, the publisher is not likely to pay for it ; he does not make the laws, he merely accepts what he finds. Whether an International Copyright Law would be a gain or loss to him is an open question, and one Mr. TROLLOPPE, after minute inquiries, concludes would be a gain. The heaviest individual loser is the English author ; the national loser is, if there be one, the United States. The individual gainer is the American purchaser, and the national gainer is England. The system in vogue has done much to tie the American people to their old Father-land. To what extent the separation might have gone, had English literature in America been shackled, it is impossible to say. The light literature of the present day has something of the effect of the ballads and poetry of olden times. It is an expression of the nation's mind, very diffuse, compared with the concentration of the poetical expression, yet better reflecting the general tone of thought, and exercising far more influence. If English books obtain a free and general circu lation throughout America, English authors must exert a strong power over the national mind ; and England gains the advantage, to this ex tent, of educating the American people. The influence thus brought to bear may have had an effect for good, which has been overlooked. It should be kept in mind that every year a mul titude of immigrants land in America, who carry there a strong hostility to England. An equal number arrive speaking another tongue, and wholly indifferent to Great Britain. Compared with these, the immigration from England and Scotland is almost nothing. So year by year the throng, either hostile or foreign to England, accumu late in America, which would, had it not been for English literature, have swamped the English element. No one pretends that the United States is Irish, or German. 'Whatever is not American in the United States is Eng lish. To what is this mainly due if not to English literature ? Americans date their own history from the English settlements on the Continent. When they trace back further they go straight to England, not to Germany, nor to Ireland. The triumph of England, when English history was theirs, is felt more strongly in New York, and excites, when well represented in a theatre, a wilder enthusiasm than even in Lon don. England is the country to which Americans look for the stamp of excellence. They are to be found in secluded villages, rooting out records, conning ever the names in old moss-covered tomb stones, or among the hoary ruins of ancient castles, monasteries, or cathedrals, because they have asso ciated with themselves this antiquity, and imagina tion may connect the spot with their ancestors. However noisy'and offensive the ostentatious enmity expressed by political demagogues, the avowed object is to catch the support of the lower Irish who cultivate an active hostility to England. But those who look into the national mind will seethe strength of American veneration and respect for what they persist in considering the mother -country. With no foreign nation, except England, has the United States been at war, putting aside the expedition to Mexico and such naval affairs as that directed against of Japan. the has, then, happ ene d th a t t h e history United States, as an i n d epen d en t t e Power, has tended to a wider severance with the mother-country, and another element has been added to those in force to make America hostile to England. Yet all these causes have been more than counteracted by English literature. It is f or thi s reason that we consider the absence of an Interna tional Copyright Law has been beneficial to England at the expense of its literary men. We believe it also in some respects to have been beneficial to the United States. A young unformed country has not the leisure to produce authors. If it trusted to its own efforts it must descend in taste and know ledge. By degrees, as the community becomes wealthier, a larger number are enabled to devote themselves to pursuits which add nothing to the actual means of living and the security of society, which in early days task to the utmost the ener gies of the people. The free circulation of the lite rature of England has not only tended to knit America in closer communion, but it has elevated the taste, and cultivated the intellect, while main taining the purity of the language. In the last number of Blackwood an article is devoted to the Americanisms, of which many have been ac cepted by our tongue. Supposing that the literature of England had been to a far less degree the literature of America, what would have been the extent of this inroad of barbarism? The language might have split off into patois, instead of being, as it is, maintained in greater purity both in America and in the colonies, than in England. On the whole then we rejoice that the American people have not hitherto seen it to be for their interest to bring into operation an International Copyright Law. So far as regards the past ; —but the case is, we believe, dif ferent as regards the future. American authors are now a numerous and highly intellectual class, and it would be wise in their country to encourage the profession. On the principle of protection to native industry they have more right to prevent American publishers from helping themselves untaxed to foreign publi cations than iron or woollen manufacturers have to exclude British competition, for all they ask is but the right to sell what they create. Eng land wishes to pass a copyright law to give to the author, either American or English, in both coun tries, the property of his own work. This would place the literary men of either nationality on an equal footing, and tend largely to increase the num ber of authors, more especially in Amenea.— Anglo- America n 7irnes. The Attorney-General of Kentucky has given an opinion on the Act of the Legislature taxing incomes as to its effects on United States Bonds. The Act was approved March 8, 1867, and Mr. Rodman thus interprets it :—"State of Kentucky, Office of the Attorney-General, Frankfort, Kentucky, October 1, 1867. Sir,—My con struction of the act of general Assemly to ' tax income on United States Bonds,' approved March Bth, 1867, is that all taxpayers is this Commonwealth who have actually received interest upon United States Bonds, between the 10th of January, 1866, and the 10th of January, 1867, whether for themselves or in trust for another, are re quired to state on oath before the Assessor the amount so received. It is the duty of sheriffs to collect 5 per cent. upon the gross amount of such income.—bro. RODMAN, Attorney-General" , g THE DEVIL TURNED FRIAR." There is a Spanish comedy, of the sort much relished in Spain, called " The Devil Turned Friar," in which, for his sins especially against the Order of St. Francis, the Evil One is condemned, in the garb of a Franciscan friar, to go about the world collecting alms for St. Francis. He is accompanied on his compulsory mission by a lay brother, whose keen nose, ever and anon, scents out the devil in the friar; but seeing how effectually he is doing his Divine Master's work, the lay brother, though watching with profound mistrust, consents to fol low his singular companion. Napoleon, for the sins which he has committed against the Papacy, is compelled, like the devil turned friar in the comedy, to undo his unholy work in Italy. The Emperor of the French may look as grim as the devil in the comedy, but there is no help for it, he must do his Master's bidding. Napoleon is an instrument in the hands of Divine Providence. Ile hates the Pope as much as the devil in the farce hated St. Francis, but as the devil was compelled to wear the garb of St. Francis, so Napoleon must put on the uniform of the Pope ; and Catholic France, like the faithful lay brother, will follow him as long as he does his appointed task, although it does not for an instant forego its profound mistrust of its devil in the friar's garb. The character of men does not necessarily change with their conduct, far less is the policy of Kings a true index of their desires. Napoleon's policy in now stopping the revolution in Italy is a matter, not of choice, but of necessity. Times have changed since the battle of Solferino, when Napoleon was the master of Europe, and might let the Revolu tion loose against things that were not to his liking; he cannot now say to General Cialdini, as he did then, " Strike, but strike quickly ;" he dares not to-day repeat the massacre of Castelfidardo. Sa dowa stands between Napoleon and the execution of his designs. Though the Papacy isnot to his lik ing, as he has shown by every free act or word, like the devil in the Spanish comedy, Napoleon must do its work. To his failure in Mexico, to his failure in Germany, he dares not add a failure in Italy. It would cost him or his heirs the crown of France. Whatever he might have done in the days of his power, before the battle of Sadowa and the disas ters of Mexico, he dare not now hand over the Pope to the Revolution. In the name of France, on behalf of Catholic Europe, he has charged himself with the safe cus tody of the Pope, and he must answer to France and to Catholic Europe for his charge. The day on which he breaks his faith, and allows the Revolution to seize upon Rome ; the day which sees Pius IX. a wanderer on the face of the earth, a beggar moving from country to country, wit nesses the end of the Napoleonic dynasty. For who could stand the sight ? It would appeal at once by its noble sadness to the imagination and to the heart of the Catholic subjects of every King in Christendom. The outburst of popular feeling would be terrific. What would Catholic France say at seeing the successor of St. Peter a wan derer in cities this side the Alps, in Spain, in Malta, in Geneva, anywhere but on French or Italian soil? For either land is that of an enemy, and knowing that this thing has happened by her default, by the treachery of her Sovereign, by a breach of faith unparalleled in the history of Kings, could the faith of France, could the honour of France witness such a spectacle unmoved? The murder of Maximilian by the default of France, the triumph of Prussia over her policy in Germany, the loss of her prestige in Europe, would be as nothing compared to the shudder of horror and indignation which would thrill through the heart and soul of France at the sight of Pius IX. chased out of Rome, in spite of Napoleon's pledged faith, by Garibaldi and the soldiers of Victor Emmanuel. Like the devil turned friar, the Emperor of the French is compelled to repair the evil he has done, and for his sins against the Papacy he must put down the Revolution in Italy. And then—what next? May not Napoleon put down the Revolution and yet betray the Pope ? He may take away with his left hand what he has given with his right. What he has done by day he may undo in the night. Secret diplomacy may give back to the Revolution, to Italy, what French soldiers have taken from Garibaldi and the Italian army. The Catholics of France and of Europe must forbid any approach to a compromise ; must not allow Napoleon to modify the Convention, or promise by a slower and more secret course to give up to the Revolution what, at the bidding of France, he now withholds from Garibaldi. An end must be put at once to such secret intriguing ; Napoleon must be compelled —for he only acts under compulsion—to do his work thoroughly and honestly. It is no secret that the more astute and far-seeing friends of the Italian Revolution disap prove of the clumsy and obstinate violence of Gari baldi, and put their sole trust in the secret ways of diplomacy. Prince Napoleon is of this number, if not the Emperor himself. After showing, by the presence of his soldiers and of his ironclads, to Italy, Royal or Republican, that he will not, for the honour of France, allow the Convention to be broken by violence, Napoleon must be taught by the Catholic opinion of France and of Europe, that fraud and treachery against the Papacy, concealed under no matter what diplomatic forms, will be no more tolerated for an instant than open violence. The Convention ought rather to be made more stringent than be relaxed. Now is the time that Catholic opinion should make itself heard and felt throughout Europe. The Pope has been attacked by revolutionary violence ; he must be protected against diplomatic fraud. Catholic Europe ought now to rouse itself, and to insist upon a European guarantee for the inviolability of the States of the Church. The peace of Europe ought no more to be disturbed ; blood ought no more to be shed in such criminal attempts as we have just witnessed in the Papal States. The pretext which the Revo lution invented, and which European Liberalism affected to believe, that the Papal subjects were dis loyal and disaffected to their Sovereign, has been utterly exposed. No sane man in Europe can now pretend even to believe in such a figment. The Catholics of France, now that French sol diers, by reason of breach of faith on the part of Italy, are again on Italian soil, are too keenly alive to the danger of treachery not to insist upon an honest and complete settlement of the Roman ques tion. Their voice is sure to make itself heard ; for when was the voice of the Catholics of France unheard ? The Catholics of Germany, of Prussia , of Austria, of Belgium, of Spain, of England, and Ireland, ought to combine in one determined ex pression of opinion that the peace of Europe, as well as right and justice, demand that the Pope should no more be exposed to such a criminal in vasion of his territories as that which is now leading to such bloodshed. Within the next few weeks there ought to be monster meetings held in every country where men are at liberty to meet and speak. In London and Dublin meetings might soon be called, in which Catholic enthusiasm and determination to support the Temporal Power of the Pope would not be less than that expressed by Catholics of other countries. A united protest from the Catholics of Europe against diplomatic fraud, as well as revolutionary violence towards the Father of Christendom, would, in the present state tof Europe, do not a little to turn the balance in favour of law and order. It might, at least, do much to compel Napoleon to do, like the devil turned friar in the Spanish farce, God's appointed work.— Westminster Gazette. A thrilling incident in the mission life of Mrs. Ingalls in Burmah i s well told In the June number of the Baptist Messenger, relating how she was sent for to visit one of the Buddhist hi.,4la priests, who had been nearly killed; and how, while in the most holy place in their temple, where none but priests had ever before been admitted, she was permitted unrebuked to use for him the sacred vessels, which none but the high priest dare touch, and to even overturn and sit on one of their gods to rest; all through the magic influence of the Pain Killer, called by them the " God medicine," so successfully had she used it in curing their many diseases, some of them considered heretofore fatal in that climate, among which were cholera, liver complaint, dyspepsia, the bites of venomous reptiles, &c.

One result of the recent elections has been to administer a needed check to political and legisla tive corruption. Those who attentively read the leading organs of the Republican party must be gratified at the way in which this lesson has been received. They frankly acknowledge the cause— they honestly proclaim the necessity, and they vehemently urge a reform. Nothing could be more becoming to the great ruling party than the spirit in which they have received their defeats. They maintain that they possess within their ranks the larger portion of the intelligence and honesty of the country. They assert that the nation must look to them for the true reform in political corrup tion, which their opponents by reason of their forma tion cannot hope to effect. They allow that a long tenure of office has demoralised many of their leaders, and attached to their ranks all the floating scum, through whose action places are bought, legislative acts sold, and other villanies perpetrated, which have tended to bring into discredit the politicians of the United States. It is not, they say, by placing the Democratic party in power that the corruption so deplored can be remedied, nor do the people believe it will. Disgusted with the abuses openly displayed by the party, the people have ad ministered this check, and many of the best Re publicans rejoice in the fact. None seem to dis pute the inferiority in point of character and standing of most of the Republican candidates in the late elections. It was considered, as the Tribune says, that " anything put on the Republican ticket could be elected ;" and the defeats resulting from the attempt have taught the wholesome truth that the voters do not choose to be driven like sheep into any pen the Republican shepherds may select, but that they will exert their judgment, and refuse their support to such who enunciate the most noble prin ciples of Liberalism, and embody them in the per sons of dishonest or disreputable candidates. The more enlightened the voters the less easily are they deluded. If the antecedents of the person put forward by their party prove jobbery and vice, while the candidate of the opposite party is a man of known integrity ani intelligence, the elector is placed in an unfair position, being compelled either to vote against his principles or to aid in handing over the legislative power of the country to men in whom he has no confidence. Now it is most gratifying to see the way in which so many have decided this question. The first duty of the people is to elect the most able and honest men for all public offices. It is better to have bad laws well administered than good laws badly administered, and it is better to have good men to make and to execute the laws, however erroneous the principles they embody, than jobbery and cor ruption in elevated posts, however beautiful the theories advanced by the incumbents. The first ne-' cessity of a nation's welfare is to establish a high standard of honour among its public men. This is far beyond any political principles in im portance. The cry of the people when the question lies between integrity and corruption should be " Men, not measures ;" though when fol lowing a leader who attempts to rule with a des potism, and override by his own will the opinions of his followers, the cry might well be " Measures, not men." The reform most required in America is the reformation of political leaders. If the people could by a great effort of the national will select from amongst them not the most able men only, but the most able who had earned the respect of the community, with a total disregard to any poli tical consideration whatever, the effect would be astounding, and the United States would take a start from which its citizens might date an era. The late elections have distinctly sig nified that the candidates shall be judged by their antecedents, that character shall be consi dered as the most valuable force, and that henceforth it will be vain to label a man " De mocratic" or " Republican" to insure his elec tion, for the label required by the people is the stamp of probity and honour. In the first place, then, those who earnestly desire the welfare of the Great Republic are gratified to see the strong ex pression of opinion coming directly and unexpectedly from the people, that they will not tolerate the insolence of thrusting on them candidates who have no personal claim for the posts to which they aspire, and can only be useful as tools when elected, to the wire-pullers to whom they owe their places. Secondly, the intelligence and independence of the Republican party have been distinctly marked. They know that the principles for which they contend are safe with the nation, and that the best means of main taining their party in strength is by reforming it, and purifying it from its corruptions. That they are right in the action taken is seen by the result. They have stopped the drift—they have checked the downward tendency, and they will be rewarded by having the best men of their party brought to the front, and extravagance, extremes, and corrup tion at least scotched. We refer our readers to an article from the Nation, transferred to our columns, on the " Political Prospects," which gives an able resume of the position. The Republican strength is overwhelming, and that strength will be materially increased by the way iu which the check has been received, for there is no change in the political principle of the masses, but disgust at the open and audacious effrontery of the wire pullers of the party in thrusting on them candidates they did not choose to receive, and in coupling with principles local measures they did not choose to adopt. —Anglo-American Times. AN2IIROPOLOGICAL SOCIE7I'. The first meeting of the session of the Anthropo logical Society was held on Tuesday evening, in their rooms in St. Martin's-place--Dr. Seemaun in the chair. After the announcement of numerous presents during the recess, the business commenced with the reading of a very long report, drawn up by Mr. Devis, vice-president of the Manchester An thropological Society, on the result of the attempts made at the meeting of the British Association at Dundee to obtain a distinct recognition of the science of anthropology in one of the sections of the association. At the previous meeting of the British Association at Nottingham the anthropolo gists had succeeded, after a considerable struggle, in being so recognised, but it appeared from the report that some influential members of that body conceived that the " science of man," as investi gated on the broad principles of the Anthropologi cal Society, would be repugnant to the prejudices of some of the Scotch members, therefore they refused to appropriate a separate section for the reading of their papers. The local committee, however, re ceived the announcement of this isolation of the science of anthropology with indignation. An an thropological conference was in consequence ap pointed for the reading of the papers which it had been intended to submit to the association, of which Dr. Hunt was appointed president. This proceed ing induced the association to offer terms to the anthropologists, whom it was generally consi dered had been unjustly treated, and a re entrance into the association was offered, it being understood that at the next meeting anthro pology should resume its place as a department of the biological section. It was stated that many of the inhabitants of Dundee highly resented the notion that they were " miserable bigots," and warmly ex pressed the opinion that they were open to free scientific inquiry, in confirmation of which a society for the study of anthropology had been formed in that town. A paper was then read by Mr. COLLINSON " On the wild tribes of Nicaragua." Attention had been drawn to them in consequence of the attempts to form a railway across the peninsula to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The practicability of constructing such a railway had been first shown by Capt. B. Pim, and several scientific men had been sent out in order to place the practicability of the scheme beyond doubt, among whom was Mr. Col linson, who had made a survey of the country, in the course of which he became well acquainted with the inhabitants. He came in contact with several tribes of Indians, but the Mosquitos were those of whom he saw the most, and whom he particularly described. The chief or king of the tribe was a man of remarkable attainments. He was as well educated a$ most Englishmen, was yery toad of, reading, and a great admirer of poetry. Nevertheless he possessed in an eminent degree the dexterity in the use of arms and the peculiar knowledge valued among his tribe, over whom he had great power. The natives gene rally were, however, of a low order, though many in the interior were partlycivilised andsuperior to those on the coast, which he attributed to the influence of the missionaries in the former case ; and he thought that communication with the traders on.the coast had been the cause of deteriorating the condition of the natives. They have a belief in a future life, and on the death of their chief they bury with him pro visions to supply him with food until he reaches the hunting grounds of the other world. With the pro visions is placed a porous bottle containing water,and when that becomes empty it is supposed the spirit of the chief has ended his journey. An intoxicat ing beverage of a disgusting kind is made by the women, who chew cassavi and other plants, and collect the mass in a vessel to ferment. It was stated that those who become intoxicated by this drink are afflicted with severe diseases of the skin. In the discussion of the paper Captain Pis dis sented from Mr. Collinson as to the influence of missionaries and traders on the natives, and con tended that those on the coast were superior to the inhabitants of the interior. He admitted, indeed, that the Moravian missionaries had done much good, for they commenced by teaching the people useful arts, and to clothe themselves and be cleanly before they spoke to them on religious topics ; whereas the Roman Catholic missionaries attempted only to make them religious, in which they did not succeed. In their native state these Indians believe in the existence of good and evil spirits, but they only wor ship the latter, as they were regarded as possessing superior power. The CHAIRMAN raised the question as to the origin of the Mosquito Indians, who were evidently pre ceded in the occupation of the country by a superior race, who have left monuments of their advanced state of civilisation ; but it was evident from Mr. Collinson's account, that whatever their origin might have been, they, like all other savage tribes who come in contact with white men, are rapidly disap pearing. The meeting adjourned to the 19th inst. COUNTRY MARKETS. S ALISBITRY.-T UESDAY. A middling attendance of farmers, millers, and dealers to-day, and a good offez of wheat.

An old negro leader named " Uncle Dick" spoke as follows on the part of the squatters who have appro priated the land of white people near Norfolk, and threat ened to resist any attempt to remove them:—•' The In dians were the first owners of this land. The whites took it from them by force; and we blacks took it from the whites by force. They have no right to it, and they shall not have it. We fought for it, and we are going to keep it. We don't care for the President nor the Freedmen's Bureau. We have suffered long enough—let the whites suffer now. The time was when the white man said, ‘Jbhn, black my boots !' and John had to do it. But the times have changed, and I hope to see the day when I can say to a white man, John, black my boots !' and he will have to do it. I will never be satisfied until the white man is forced to serve the black man, as we once were forced to serve them. If they do not like that, let them go away. We do not intend to allow socesh or Yankees to drive us off this land, because it is ours. We fought for it, and we will fight now to defend it." The Union Pacific Railroad measures, like ships at sea, by degrees of longitude. An American paper gives the following extract from the letter of a traveller, who thus, it says, describes the stately style of measurement on the long reaches of railroad that indicate our national ad vance towards sunset :—" The common mile posts on this railroad seem to measure insignificant distances upon the wide plains. Only each five miles are noted, and when you have passed between two of these the step taken hardly appears like an advance. But there is one poinv marked in a manner to suggest the distance which has been overcome, and the gigantic character of the work. At e point in the plain which otherwise seems as indeterminate as the position of a floating log at sea, a wide, arched sign between two strong set posts bears this inscription :-- 100th meridian-217 miles from Omaha.' Here was the terminus of the road only last September. Now it is com plete to a point near the 102 d meridian, and the distance from Omaha is 365 miles. Thus the work moves on, mea suring its distance by the hour circles." Steam has lately been applied to working Baxter's California gang ploughs in California, where the lands are more favourable for such a mode of culture than in Eng" land. These ploughs operate with from two to six shares, and with or without seed sowers and harrows. The saving of labour will be so great as materially to increase the production of corn in the Pacific States, if they prove thoroughly successful. A curious match lately came off at Boston be tween James Griffin, an American pedestrian, and a trot ting hers° called Captain Magowan, for $2,000. The horse was to trot ten miles while the man ran five. The horse won, doing his ten miles in 30 minutes. Griffis made his first mile in five minutes 281 seconds, his second in six minutes 21 ; seconds, his third in six minutes 1 2 seconds. He gave in from exhaustion at the commence ment of the fourth mile, at which time the horse had made 6i miles. A conflict of authority between Judge Tapley of Maine and Secretary Welles of the navy, relative to the discharge of some unlawfully enlisted naval recruits, ha g been decided in favour of the former by Attorney-Gener al Stanbery, although the Cabinet had previously voted to sustain the Secretary. The recruits have accordingly been restored to their homes in Lowell. Births. MACCLESFIELD—On the 3d inst., at Shirburn Castle, the Countess of Macclesfield, of a aughter.
