THE FRENCH PRESS ON THE CONSPIRACY. A ministerial manifesto on the conspiracy has been pub lished in the Journal o.fiUiel. It runs thus :—" The system of the Revolutionary party is known. It consists in attacking every act of the Government. If that party attempts a disturbance, it is the police that has provoked it. If it organises a conspiracy, it is the Government that has invented it. A man has been arrested at the . moment he was seeking an opportunity to assassinate the Emperor ;he avows his criminal intension. Newspapers of a certain character persist, none the less, in denying the fact of the attempt. Bombs are found. It is the police which has fabricated them. But the person who cast them comes forward and gives precise information res pecting them. Will that convince the incredulous ? No, because they are wilfully incredulous. It is the duty of the Government to put the public on its guard against electioneering manceuvrea. A legal investigation is being actively carried on, and as this new attempt is but a sequel to the conspiracy of February last, the preliminary inquiry into which has been completed, the public mine will speedily be furnished with all the materials for arriving at a sound conclusion." The Siecle doubts whether the conspiracy will prove to have been worth while, and avers that in Paris those who reckoned on the effect produced by the grand displays of zealous journals are already undeceived, while the news received from the provinces is excellent. There is not the smallest symptom of panic. Everyone understands the plebisoitary bombs hang fire. But "if the plot was was serious, what reason is there for changing our opinions about the plebiscite, Because the deserter Barrie intended (which we doubt) to at tempt the Emperor's life does that make the forty five articles of the Senatus-Consultum less mischievous ? Are the French people in consequence to surrender their rights and their liberties ? What can the solemn protest on behalf of our freedom have in common with the plot of the deserter Baurie ? Does a free people change its policy for such events ? Do not crime and folly exist in all times and under all regintee and how much greatershould be our civic firmness when there is no convincing proof that there was an plot at all !" Unless the Siecle is much mistaken, the Emperor after the experiment of the Bth will be less eager to resort to Plebiscites. The Liberte says. however serious the affair, it is desir able to and against exaggeration. All the bombs given up by M. Lepet have been seized, and there is no indica tion that any others exist. It is necessary. then, to leave justice free to do her wor7, and not to pass from complete scepticism to exaggerated alarm. The Temps remarks that the journals which support the Plebiscite manifest an extraordinary anxiety to keep public attention rivetted on the conspiracy during the few days which intervene before the Bth of May, and to make a powerful impression on the popular imagination, while the Government appears to favour their hasty and partial revelations. The result may shew them that they are mistaken, and the votes obtained through fear or pity will be mach less numerous than is supposed. The Liberal party sees no change in the situation, and there is nothing in common between the plot and the plebiscite. The Journal des Debats says it is very important that not the possibility of a doubt should exist as to the reality of this plot. It is very necessary that before the voting takes place, that is before the end of the present week, nume rous and decisive documents should be published, that peremptory proof of its genuineness should be brought to the knowledge of the electors through the press. It is necessary that at the moment when we are called upon to vote there should not remain in the minds of men of good faith any question as to the accuracy of the facts related by the papers. At the outset detected conspiracies and abortive plots are always beneficial for the Government against which they are directed, as their first result is to terrify public opinion, and make everyone feel the necessity of pro tecting society against such inveterate foes. But later it too often happens that the Government, fresh from the danger it has escaped, restricts itself to try ing to pro tect itself more effectually for the future, and indulges in reactionary manoeuvres, which soon deprive it of the support, not only of those who rallied round it in the hour of need. but also of a great number of its steadfast friends. IitISH WIT AT ENGLISH EXPENSE. This week's Irishman makes merry at the expense of the English papers alleged to have been threatened by the Fenians. It takes the Times office, with the editor ankle "‘deep in sand, bent over his writing-desk, writing a leader :—" The social state of Greece is such as to pre clude further argument with that wretched kingdom. -England must interfere in the interests of humanity and 'civilisation. Not grant an amnesty to brigands !—for bidden by the constitution to grant an amnesty to brigands, ,yet authorised to grant amnesties to political offenders ! ! —to proffer such allegations is to trifle with Great Britain.

On Tuesday night a special meeting of the General Council of the International Working Men's Association was held in London in reference to the alleged complicity of the association in the plot to assassinate the Emperor of the French. Mr. Robert Applegarth took the chair. Dr. Maix introduced the subject by referring to the attacks made upon the association by the French Govem ment papers, and the arrest of a large number of the mem bers of the French sections of the association. He repu diated any connection of the association with the alleged plot. After some discussion, the following declaration was unanimously adopted, and ordered to be signed by the Council and sent to the French and other Continental journals for publication :—" On the occasion of the last pretended plot, the French Government has not only ar rested several members of our Paris and Lyons sections, but has i ns i nuated in its organs that the International. Working Men's Association is an accomplice in that pre tended plot. According to the tenour of our rules, it is certainly the special mission of all our branches in England, on the Continent, and in the United States, to act not only in centres for the organisation of the working classes, but also to aid, in their different countries, all poli tical movements tending to the accomplishment of our ultimate end, the economical emancipation of the work ing class. At the same time these rules bind all our sec tions to act openly. If our rules were not positive on that point, the very nature of an association which identi fies itself with the working classes would exclude from it every form of a secret society. If the working classes who form the great bulk of all nations, who produce all their wealth, and in the name of whom the usurping classes always pretend to rule, conspire, they conspire publicly, as the sun conspires against darkness, in the full consciousn ess that without their pale there exists no legitimate power. If the other incidents of the plot denounced by the French Government are as false and unfounded as its insinuations against the International Working Men's Association, this last plot will worthily range with its two predecessors of grotesque memory. The noisy and violent measures against our French sections are exclusively intended to serve one singular purpose—the manipulation of the Plaiscite." On the same evening a dinner was given in the Portland -road to MM. Gustave Flourens and Tibaldi M. Le Lubez presided, and the company numbered a few hundred Frenchmen. The occasion was officially described as a " Democratic banquet in honour of the Citizens Tibaldi and Flourens." M. Tib a ldi was prevented b y anac cident from being present. The oratorical burdens of the evening, therefore, fell to the lot of M. Flourens. Liberty equality and fraternity were the animating points of his speech. M. Flourens positively affirmed that he had nothing to do with the recent intrigues in Paris • that he knew nothing of them ; and that h e h a d, i n fact; nothing to own or disown ; but that, in any case of public interest he did not belong to himself, but to the cause whose principle he fought to defend. Still keeping to liberty, equality, and fraternity, he said that hi s pr i nc i ples were, education to elevate the people, to which end he would transform the churches into schools, the barracks into colleges of science. When M. Flourens came to speak of Tibaldi, the enthusiasm of his audience was fairly aroused ; and when the speaker alluded to the long years that Tibaldi had spent in struggles against Austria, and to his unjust transportation to Cayenne, cheers again and again broke out. The names of Rochefort and O'Donovan Roam were then coupled in a toast. THE EUROPEAN POWERS AND THE GREEK MURDERS. The Vienna correspondent of the Eastern Budget says that the representatives of the Powers have held a con ference to diScuss a proposal of the French Ambassador that an identical note should be addressed to the Greek Government, protesting against the insecurity of life and property in that country. The Russian Ambassador alone protested. Upon the receipt of the information of the massacre, the Greek Ambassador at Vienna was to go to Count Beust to hear the intentions of the Austrian Go vernment in respect to the matter. Count Beust declined to make any positive statement at that time. Since then the Austrian Government has formally expressed its intention of supporting in the most ener getic manner any steps that may be taken by England and Italy, in o r d er t o o bt a i n satisfaction for the murder of their respective subjects, and to provide against the occurrence of such acts in future. The Austrian Ambassador at Ath ens , H err von Haimerle, has itpplied for leave of absence, but Count Beust has refused his application, on the ground that his presence at Athens is indispensable at this crisis to enable Austria to take her due share in any negotiations which the Powers might enter into with the Greek Government. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 5, 1870. THE CANADIAN CONNECTION. (From the Anglo-American Times.) The Spectator prefaces some extracts from a letter it publishes, addressed to Mr. TENNYSON, by stating that it was written by a Canadian of literary mark, and clearly shows the suspicion and hatred gradually growing up in the Dominion against England on account of Lord GRANVILLE'S Colo nial policy. The literary gentleman, alluding to recent speeches in Parliament, as well as articles in the leading newspapers, favouring eventual, if not early, separation, declares them to wring the hearts of Canadians in a way Englishmen cannot realise and predicts that the feeling of regret, as well as the genuine disbelief that England can be so contempt ible as to incline towards such a policy, will turn, if that inclination be cenfirmed, to indignation at the cowardly abandonment. It goes on to show how ill-advised such a course would be, and predicts, confidently, that abandonment will not lead to inde pendence, as fondly believed in England, though ridiculed in Canada, but to immediate annexation to the United States; while with the Dominion would not only go the maritime supremacy of Great Britain, but it would be transferred to " her most im placable enemy and rival, " for if," he says, " there be one idea more than another that predominates in the great Republic and her border, it is a desire and a purpose to humiliate England, and take her high place among the nations ; and, above all, to transfer to America the dominion of the seas." The mari time supremacy of the Union would be at once ac quired by the addition of the marine of the British American Provinces, which takes a leading place in the shipping of the world, and American adds "the literarygentlemanof mark," would then be but a trifle to that engendered in Canada against England. Now all this is very unreasonable, while we acknow ledge with regret that it expresses the feeling of an influential section of the Canadian people. What is it that they require from England as the price of their good-will? Not independence, not the re moval of restrictions, not the liberty to do as they will with their own, for that liberty is unbounded, the sovereignty of the crown being merely nominal. They must want something, or they would not think, speak, and write thus ; and why did not the "literary gentleman," when he took up his pen so strongly to censure Earl GRANVILLE, say what that section of the Colonists he represents require of England. Speeches and articles are mere talk ; they are but words deriving their only import ance from the things they indicate as likely to be done. Neither Lord GRANVILLE, nor any of Eng land's statesmen of whom we know, recommend the severance of the connection which the Cana dian terms the cowardly abandonment of the co lony by England, and they have, as distinctly as men can speak, asserted this; therefore it cannot be the severance of the connection. But the Colo nial Minister, backed by a very strong party, as serts that with independence goes the expense and the responsibility of government ; and that English taxpayers, who, man for man, are poorer than the Canadian taxpayers, should not have to bear the burden of colonial defence, nor any other cost of the Dominion Government. In pursuance of this policy her AlaaEsTv's Ministers are withdrawing all the troops from Canada as from the other colonies, and letting the colonists clearly understand that if they want arsenals and forts they must keep them up at their own expense. That is the act which touches the loyal Canadian to the quick—the with drawal of gay money-spending regiments, which tend to give life and tone to the - larger Canadian cities, to supply partners for the girls at balls, and a few husbands for the manceuvreing of mammas. If Canada wants a British garrison, Lord GRAN VILLE says it must pay for the luxury, which Canada very properly declines to do, for the British soldiers are the most costly in the world, though no doubt they stand very high in efficiency. But surely in this there is nothing to call forth such indignation. The cowardly abandonment consists in declining to make the British taxpayer furnish the whole cost for garrisoning Quebec, Montreal, and Toronto. If Canadians would reverse the position, and sup pose England to demand a subsidy from them to support the camp at Aldershot, then they might have just cause for indignation, and give a very tart and prompt refusal, yet there is a better reason why England should make that demand on them than that tiny should expect England to garrison their towns. The reason is, that Aldershot is a mere depot where a certain article is kept ready and in a high state of efficiency, whenever and wherever required. That article is a strong division of Bri tish troops, which could in a fortnight be thrown into Canada if the necessity existed, and is there fore almost as effective for service in the Dominion as in any part of Great Britain, whereas the garri- Eons of the colony are purely local. The argument used by the literary Canadian is the stock argument for the occasion—the deadly hatred of the United States against England, and the certainty that, if Canada was compelled in self-defence to submit to annexation, the against England amongst Canadians would be greater still ; in truth, to us e his own words, " a trifle to that engendered here." He had just before written that the great Republic was England's most implacable enemy and rival ; that its predominating desire and purpose was to humiliate England and take her high place among nations ; and if this be but a trifle to the hatred about to be engendered among Canadians towards England for withdrawing her red-coats, then all we can say is that the colonists are very unreason able, and England very unfortunate. We reduce the problem to this absurdity, to show our readers the sort of thing that goes down in Great Britain, and can be endorsed by Mr. TENNYSON and the Specta tor. But it serves our purpose, as it illustrates the gross exaggeration habitual with those who seek so pertinaciously for their own selfish ends, or for the gratification of spite, to keep alive the dying animosity between the nations. England, like all great countries which have played a conspicuous part on the theatre of the world, has managed to excite much ill-►ill. Doubtless she has done several unjust and some shocking acts, and many nations have a right to express their dislike in no measured terms. Among these is the United States ; but the recollections of the disastrous and shameful war which led to the independence of those colonies are becoming obliterated by time, and with them vanish the animosity, while the rise in material power and prosperity of the young nation then formed, has brought it up to an equality, and with that rise goes the keen spirit of rivalry. We deny the " implac able animosity" of the United States towards Eng land ; but we are not so ready to assert that there is not animosity on the part of the Canadians against their neighbours, and in England against the Re public. The whole of its spirit in the United States as against England is to be found in the dislike to the political connection existing between a large portion of the continent and Great Britain, springing from much the same feeling as that which makes the red cross flag at Gibraltar an eyesore to Spain. There is nothing more popular with any nation than thecry of the country for the people. " Ireland for the Irish ;" " Spain for the Spanish ;" "America for the Americans ;" and it would be quickly raised in Eti rope, if there was a dangerous inroad from Asia or from America —" Europe for the Europeans." Setting aside this natural feeling, the statement of the Ca nadian and his argument therefore (frequently used also by the high Tory section in England) is not based on fact; and it is a mere assertion which the experience of travellers disproves, and which will be found im possible to urge when a knowledge of the Republic becomes general. What the Canadian wants, be sides the British garrison, is the pleasure of riding a very tall political horse. The Dominion by itself would be but a weak thing, and not entitled to as sume the airs of a first-class power. But the Do minion, with England at its back, speaks with great authority, for there is an enormous force behind. It is very natural for the Canadians to like this condi tion ; to have all the advantages which a closer con nection implies, with few of the dangers and respon sibilities of so high a place. But it is not pleasant for England to be kept in constant hot water through the assumption and high-handed proceedings of her bumptious young relation. The gentleman of lite rary mark will find that Earl GRANVILLE'S ideas are not those of a few visionaries," but, on the con trary, that they are grounded on the broadest prin ciples of right and common sense, and are not only held by a large section of the people, but that their plain, practical force are every day adding to the strength of that party. PROGRESS OF THE ERIE WAR.—No. 111. To the charge that none but English stock holders were dissatisfied, Mr. Burt published in the New York papers a document signed by numerous citizens of mark, petitioning the Legislature of New York State to repeal the Classification Act, as they were dissatisfied with the present management of the company. A suit has Leen begun against Gould, Fisk, and Lane in the U. S. Circuit Court. The complaint recites that the defendants, with others, illegally obtained control of the Erie Railway Com pany, and committed the company to engagements of a hazardous and speculative nature. That all the property possessed by Fisk, Gould, and Lane is vastly less than their legal liabilities to the bona fide shareholders. That defendants are unfit to control the affairs of the company, and should at once be ousted, and enjoined from interfering with the affairs of the company. That, on account of the great power and influence of defendants over the affairs of the company, it will be impos sible to obtain any fair investigation of its affairs until they are ousted. That until they are ousted, the rights of the bona fide stockholdors will be constantly in peril, and that no other result can be reasonably looked for than the utter wreck and ruin of the whole interest of the holders of stock. The plaintiffs demand that the defend ants shall be compelled to render a just, full, and true account of the affairs of the company during the time it has been in their hands ; that the officers of the company be enjoined from removing or con cealing books, papers, securities, or funds belong ing to the company. The defendants have until the first Monday in May to file their answer. Mean while the war progresses in the papers, and pro minently in the New Ycrk Tribune, wherein a slashing article appeared, headed " Humours of Erie." It says : " When Mr. Charles Burt, representing the holders of two-thirds of the Erie stock, came over from London to look after the interests of his clients, and American holders began to combine with him for mutual protection, the Ring first tried to break up his alliances by a report that he had resigned and was going kome in despair. When this failed, and Mr. Burt appeared before the Legis lative Committee at Albany petitioning for a repeal of the law which keeps Fisk, Gould, Tweed, and company in office against the wishes of the shareholders, he was suddenly confronted by the correspondent of a comic newspaper, who declared that he too represented certain shareholders (number and identity uncertain), and that having received from Mr. Fisk the courtesies of the road, he found the refreshments so good he should be sorry to see any change! Last of all came Mr. T. G. Shearman also, and this gentleman's appearance in the character of a confiding counsel was so remarkable that we purpose in viting our readers to give it their very particular atten tion." Lawyer Sherman's delightful confidence towards his clients was great, as he had been unable to dis cover anything wrong even in the process by which Fisk and Gould secured their retention in office, buying $70,000 worth of proxies with Boston, Hart ford, and Erie R. R. money, first issuing enough Erie watered stock to control the election, then selling that stock in their private capacity as brokers to foreign investors ; and, finally, as indivi dual shareholders voting on the shares they had already sold to confirm their own proceedings, run ning down in a year and a half the stock from 72 to 25 for their personal gain. Or by the settlement with Vanderbilt, characterized by Fisk himself in court as an almighty robbery, for which the State Prison ought to be built larger, and Fisk said when he signed the paper that "we had sold ourselves to the devil." In the same telling - style, although in these remarks we skim off the cream, the Tribune shatters into fragments Shearman's four reasons why the Erie Bill ought not to be repealed. Of these the only one worth examining is that the road has by the clique been better managed. On this the New York daily remarks : "It does not seem to us very good management to run down the price of stock from 72 to 25, to render the shares useless except for purposes of wild speculation, to involve the company in endless litigation, to convert Erie into a by-word of reproach, and make a great railroad tributary to a troupe of ballet girl•. We do not think it an evidence of good management that whereas in 1866, on a capital of $25,105,800, the net income was $3,288,911, or 13 per cent., in 1869, on a capital of $78,536,910, it was only $3,003,415, or less than 4 per cent. And as for safety, let the figures speak. During Mr. Gould's two years 179 persons have been killed on the road and 271 injured. During the pre vious two years, when the number of passengers was somewhat greater and the mileage considerably greater, 115 were killed and 119 injured, a difference against Mr. Gould of 64 killed and 152 injured. The last remarks cut to the soul the sensitive Fisk, who replied in a long letter, wherein he says : " Mr. Burt, of course, knew better when he made this statement ; but you, I suppose, in an innocent reliance upon the peculiar truthfulness of English men, have been led to believe that whatever Mr. Burt said must needs be true." He showed that their management had only lasted fourteen months, that the accidents were 72 less than in the preced ing year, that nine of these occurred to passengers through their own fault, chiefly to drunken men getting out of cars in motion, that fourteen were at Mast Hope, the fault of James Griffin, that, in short, only one passenger was killed by the fault of the Erie Railroad. He adds the rea son why the accidents seem large on the Erie is that it is the only corporation of the State which collects and honestly reports these accidents, and this fact makes it most unjust to compare the Erie under the present with the Erie under any for mer direction. Mr. Fisk then asserts that the Tribune has been misled, that the number has in truth greatly decreased, a fact which can be proved by any who take the trouble, though it is not for Mr. But Vs interest, and from the freedom with which he borrows other people's documents, Fisk supposes that he would not be scrupulous in his assertions. Then, continues this clever gentle man— "Not content with indorsing Mr. Burt's malicious and unfounded statements, concerning the want of safety on the road, you further accept his statement that he repre sents two-thirds of the Erie stockholders, as a matter of course, and make his assertions respectable by your in dorsement. Now, Mr. Burt, atter a long flourish of pre paration, has at last commenced his terrific proceedings in the United States Court ; and inasmuch as he has darkly threatened what fearful things he was going to do in that Court, and what tremendous power he would bring to bear in it, we may safel) assume that ho shows the full strength of his clientago in his suit, particularly as he takes the somewhat unusual course of joining a number of separate stockholders as plaintiffs. * * * * Mr. Burt has come here in all his majesty to pursue three in significant individuals, who are totally unqualified, by ability or training, to meet so mighty a foe. And feeling certain, from his high character, masterly ability, and transcendent eloquence, to say nothing of his capacity for "rescuing" other people's property from them, as illus trated by his adroitness in slipping private documents into his pocket at Albany, under the very eyes of our in corruptible Legislators, that it will be in v a in for me to resist the demand which ho has now made for the whole of my personal property, for the benefit of his 500,000 men in buckram. I have determined to accede to it, upon the single and most reasonable condition, that Mr. Burt and his clients shall apply it to the satisfaction of those long delayed and uncivilly treated Alabama claims which are, I believe, of just about the sam e amoun t as th e c l a i ms presented by the indignant British stockholder. I will give due notice to the holders of Alabama claims of the acceptation of this offer by Mr. Burt, and, with this as a Thirteenth Temptation, and Mr. Burt as the lost soul, I anticipate a crowded house when pay day arrives." It will be seen how adroitly Mr. Fisk avoids an swering any charge except that of accidert, and considering his position, that he was engaged in a suit to make Commodore:Vanderbilt disgorge the proceeds of what he terms " an almighty swindle," to prove himself honest would have been to inva lidate that suit. The Tribune replied in an article showing that, in answering the damaging exhibit, " Colonel" Fisk takes as the first period of compari son-1865-6 —which may be a slip of the pen, for which it gives the benefit of the doubt, but he also takes an odd portion of his own administration, and com pares it with an odd portion of another, to his own advantage. The Tribune very properly answers the statement that the Erie was not responsible for the Mast Hope disaster, by showing that Griffin went to sleep because he had been kepttoo long on duty, also that the system of signalling was bad. We incline, however, to believe that the Erie manage ment in this respect is good, and that Mr. Fisk did not claim more for himself than his due ; and we will go further, and say that, if he would be but honest, Erie, both in him and Gould, would have an able management. On the 15th inst. the Tri bune proposed to employ the " Colonel" on its re gular staff of correspondents at a good price, if he would supply it with a trial essay, replying, in the crispest manner to a series of questions it propounds. Truthful replies to these ten queries would be interesting information to the stockholders, which, we may add, they are not likely to get ; To secure their position the clique have got a bill passed through the State Legislature, regulating the grant ing and enforcing of injunctions, which will give them plenty of time, whatever may be the shifts to which they are put, and with a firm faith in their ingenuity they think that, given time, they can baffle any assault. It is noticed that, on the 13th inst., Fisk called at the United States Building, and after waiting an hour in the District Court Room had a long interview, under lock and key, with District-Attorney Pierrepont, and it is signi ficantly added, " A suit was commenced lately in the Circuit Court by Mr. Burt against Fisk and Gould." No difficulty was experienced in serivng the officials of the company with notice of the suit thus commenced ; indeed these officials sent notice to the U. S. Marshal's office of their readiness to receive the necessary legal documents, and Fisk and Gould treated the Deputy-Marshal with great courtesy ; and, says the Wall-street Journal, " after the ceremony of serving was through, the Deputy was entertained at lunch by Colonel Fisk, with that suavity and bonhommie for which the Erie-pressible Hero is so distinguished." The same paper, in al lusion to the petition by the American holders of the preferred stock in sympathy with the English to the Legislature of the State, says, that "as the whole business has been very badly handled there is little, if any, prospect of success at the present time. Mr. Burt, the representative of the English stockholders, is emphatically not the right man in the right place, and, with usual English wilfulness and obstinacy, has nothing to learn. Had the right parties been deputed to show our incorruptible Legislature the incontestible rights of the English stockholders to the management of their own pro perty the results would have been different." What the writer, who knows the ropes, means is, that the Erie_clique must be met with the same weapons as those they use—bribery. Very pleasant, doubt less, for the New York Legislature ; but what we propose to show in an article next week is, that the injury done the United States in general, and New York State in particular, by the proceedings of the Erie clique, vastly exceeds in amount the value of the Erie altogether. We are confident that Ame ricans have but a very dim notion of the damage their credit has sustained, and perhaps it may take years before they will be fully aware what Fisk, Gould, and Lake have cost the country. So far as the House Naval Committee is con cerned, the " relative rank" question, in the U. S. navy, has been settled. The Lieut.-Commanders it proposes to re duce to 85. There are to be 100 masters, and 100 ensigns; 15 medical directors, with the rank of captain, 15 medical inspectors with the rank of commanders, 50 surgeons with the rank of lieut.. commanders, 100 assistant-surgeons with the rank of master, with promotions to rank of lieutenant after three years' service and examination. No person under 21, or over 26, shall be appointed surgeon in the Navy. Thirteen paymasters with the rank of captain, 13 with that of commander, 60 with the rank of lieut.-com mander, 40 past-assistants with the rank of lieutenant, 20 assistant-paymasters with the rank of master; 10 chief engineers with the rank of captain, 15 with the rank of commander, 25 with the rank of lieutenant-commander, 100 first assistant engineers with the rank of lieutenant, and 100 second assistants with the rank of master. Chiefs of bureaux rank with commodore, 3 naval constructors with captain, 3 with commander, 3 with lieutenant-com mander, and 4 with lieutenant ; 4 chaplains with captain, 7 with commander, and 7 with lieutenant-commander. Finally, the bill proposes that officers of the staff, after faithful service of 45 years, shall rank with commodores, or, if retired, after 40 years. It provides, however, that commanding officers shall take precedence of all staff offi cers under their command, and no staff officer, in virtue of his rank, shall exercise command or authority in the line of the navy or in any staff corps, except the staff corps to which he belongs. In all Naval Courts of In quiry and Boards of various kinds sitting for the trial of officers or any other purpose the line and staff take pre cedence according to rank. General Adam Badeau, late Assistant Secretary of the American Legation in London, has been nominated by the President Consul-General in Great Britain. That this appointment was in contemplation we announced some weeks ago, as General Badeau had rejected the higher post of Minister to a South American Republic in favour of a Consul-Generalship to London. It was rumoured in Washington that Brigadier General John Pope, com manding the Department of the Lakes, will be assigned to. the Military Division of the Pacific, to succeed Gen. Tho mas; but later intelligence indicates that the President will not fill up the vacancy, or that Gen. Schofield will assume the command. Lieut. Governor Root of Kansas, who has just been appointed Minister to the Hague, is one of the original Free State pioneers of Kansas; was a member of her first Free State Legislature ; resigned the post of Lieu tenant Governor at the opening of the late civil war, and served with honour to the close. The following nomi nations of Consuls have been made : Edmund Johnson of Kansas, at Ghent; A. Jourdan of the District of Co lumbia, at Seville ; Hamilton Richardson of Wisconsin, at Acona ; Samuel T. Day of Florida, at Pictou; William H. Faxon of Connecticut, at Curacoa. By order of the President, General Sherman has made the following important changes and transfers ; The Department of Alaska is broken up, and added to the Department of Columbia, which includes the State of Ore gon and the Territories of Washington and Idaho—head quarters at Portland, Oregon. The Department of Vir ginia is abolished, and added to the Department of the East, which also includes the New England States, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and the district of Columbia--headquarters at New Yoik City. Major-General McDowell commands this Depart ment. The Department of the Cumberland is broken up. This department consists of the States of Kentucky, Ten nessee, West Virginia, and the Post of Jeffersonville, In diana. They are now all added to the Department of the South, which also includes the States of North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida—headquarters at Atlanta, Ga. The Department is under the command of Brigadier-General Terry. Major- General Schofield, who is at present in command of the Department of the Mis souri, has been ordered to the command of the Division of the Pacific, vice Major-General Thomas, deceased- head quarters at San Francisco. Brigadier-General John Pope, now in command of the Depaetment of the Lakes, is trans ferred to the command of the Department of the Missouri. Brigadier-General Phillip St. George Cooke, now in com mand of the Department of the Columbia, is ordered to the command of the Department of the Lakes. Brigadier- General Canby, at present in command of the Department of Virginia, is transferred to the command of the Depart ment of the Columbia, in the place of General Cooke. General Pope takes General Schofield's command in St. Louis, when the latter goes to San Francisco. Major- General Meade remains in Philadelphia, Major-General Halleck at Louisville, and Lieutenant-General Sheridan in command of the Division of the Missouri. Senator Sumner having attained the end for which he strove in the abolition of slavery, and the equality of all before the law, has introduced a resolution with a view to alleviate the sufferings of the brute crea tion ; the first step being the transport of cattle over rail roads. Attorney-General Hoar has checkmated the Hon. Ben. Butler in his effort to replace General Andrews in the Massachusetts Marshalship with Dr. Phelps, the bio grapher of Sumner, who in gratitude backed the move. Colonel Usher was to have bad the office Dr. Phelps now holds, of Pension Agent. Both the Senators from Massa chusetts and two Representatives supported Butler, but in vain. The town of Medina, Ohio, about twenty-eight miles from Cleveland, was nearly destroyed on the 15th of April by fire, which originated in a wooden building in habited by negroes, and used as a barber's shop. In four hours every business block but two were burnt, as there were no fire engines, and buckets were unavailing. Finally the conflagration stopped on the west side of the square at Aaron Anderson's block, which it left in ruins. Many persona wore injured, but no lives lost, though so sudden was the fire and so quick its progress that numbers had to escape from be upper storey windows, and some in their night clothes. The loss will be hea v y, but it had not when the mail left been ascertained. Fisk, jun., the hero of Erie, has in general been a success, although, like other heroes, he has met with an occasional check. For instance, although successful as a peddler, as a steamboat manager, as a railway director, as a theatrical manager, and as a stock speculator, he did not succeed in becoming th e co l one l o f th e Ni n th Regi ment of the N. Y. S. National Guard, for at the election, on March 29th, the boys gavo thirteen votes for Lieutenant Colonel Braine, while the irrepressible Fisk only obtained nine, thus losing the opportunity of displaying his military skill and experience.— Wall-street Journal. BRIGANDAGE IN HUNGARY. Count Raday, who was appointed a short time ago by the Hungarian Government as their commissioner for the suppression of brigandage in the Alfold district, has just forwarded a report to Pesth giving an account of the result of his labours. He says that twelve months ago neither life nor property was safe in any part f the district, not even in the towns, and that murders and robberies were of daily occur ence. The robber bands, whose head-quarters was the town of Szegedin, were not composed of people who practised brigandage as a profession, but consisted mostly of men who during the day were engaged in trade and went on the highways at night. Several of these brigands, each of whom was known to have committed from twenty to sixty heavy crimes, had until then pursued their career in absolute impunity, and had never been in prison. The Commissioner accounts for this by the corruption of the police and the low notions of morality which prevail among the population. The brigand organisation extended at the beginning of the past year over all the country between the Theiss and the Danube, the province of Tarasdin, in Croatia, all Saxonia, part of the military frontier and Servia, but it has now been almost entirely broken up, thanks to the vigilance and energy of the authorities. The principal bands have been dispersed, and 513 brigands, 234 of whom have committed crimes which, by the Hungarian law are punishable with death, are now awaiting their trial.—Eastern Budget. HOW THEY MANAGE GOVERNMENT IN GREECE. A strange story of the mode in which Greek Govern ments are apt to treat brigands is told by Mr. Ball in a letter to the Times. He says :—" It will be recollected by many that when in 1866 three English travellers—Lord Hervey, Mr. Strutt, and another—were carried off by a band of Acarnanian brigands, when making an excursion on the coast opposite Patras, and were released only on payment of a ransom of £2,000, the angry remon strances of the diplomatic corps at Athens impelled the Government of the day to an unusual demon stration of earnestness. A Royal proclamation was issued offering considerable rewards for the apprehension of the leading brigands —men as well known in the district as the directors of a railway company or of a local bank would be in England. lam not aware that the proclama tion was followed up by any more stringent measures, or that these gentlemen were put to the inconvenience of changing their place of residence by the real or pre tended activity of military or police ; certain it is that, instead of taking the matter good humouredly, the persons nam e d i n th e proc l amat i on felt and expressed considerable annoyance, and, as it was asserted in Athens, threatened to oust the Minister of. Marine, Grivas, from his seat in Parliament. It would not be easy to procure evidence as to the negotiations which passed between the Minister or his political friends and the angry constituents whom it was necessary to con ciliate, but there is no doubt as to their final result. In the autumn of 1867, when the so-called War of Independence was proceeding in Crete, the brigands accepted a propositi on th a t th e y s h ou ld be carried at the public expense to that unlucky island and given the opportunity of gratifying their Hellenic feelings either by fighting against the Mussulman, or despoiling the Christian population. The arrangement was carried out in the most public manner, and being at the time in Greece, along with my f r i en d Mr. W. E. Forster, M.P., now Vice-President of the Council for Education, I was all but an eye-witness to the transaction. One of the regular steamers plying between Corinth and Corfu was taken up for the transport. We spoke with an English engineer who had been on board the steamer, and who detailed the pleasont jokes that passed among the distinguished passengers as to the amount of reward that had been offered for their capture. One in cident mentioned by the same informant is so characte ristic as to deserve record. The Government had not gone to the expense of supplying provisions for the expected passengers, and it was obvious that the latter had no notion of spending their private means for that purpose, so the difficulty was solved by the steamer touching at, some convenient spot, where the brigands went ashore' killed three oxen, and carried the carcases to the ship.' In the opinion of Mr. Ball no Greek Ministry will be above suspicion until a very different system of admini stration prevails from any that we have seen. RITUAL AND A REVISED TRANSLATION. Both House of Convocation met at Westminster on Tuesday. In the Upper House, where the Bishop of London presided, the Lectionary came under consideration. Bishop Jackson presented the following report from a committee appointed on the subject of public worship : " That the committee, having considered the third report of the commissioners appointed to inquire into the rubrics, orders, and directions for regulating the course and conduct of public worship, and having respect to the great care and pains that have been bestowed on the work by the commission, and also the fact that the schedule of lessons was submitted to the Archbishops of England and Ireland, to the deans of cathedral churches, to the theological professors of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge Dublin and Durham, and again considered before making their report, recommends the adoption of the said schedule, signed •J. London.' " The bishop himself observed that nearly all the differences which existed depended upon individual taste, and, taking the propositions before them as a whole, he thought they might all thankfully accept them, rather than run the risk of incurring further delay. Personally he was thankful for the report, and trusted it would lead to greater elasticity in the services of the Church, and to greater love and devotion on the part of the people. The Bishop of Winchester moved that the report be adopted, expressing a wish that the proposed alterations should be made the law of the land. It was of course impossible that very large numbers of men, or even a number, should agree absolutely upon a large question of detail, which the lessons for every Sunday and every week day necessarily involved. All they could do was to go upon general principles. Amongst the Ritual Commis sioners there was nothing like difference or disagreement —on the contrary, nothing could be more courteous than all their discussions. The same feeling pervaded the body when the whole matter was reconsidered. He thought therefore he might conscientiously recommend the adop tion of this report without saying that in every separate instance it was the best suggestion that could have been offered. Out of doors, certainly, there was a feeling that some such change as this was necessary. The extraordinary length of some of the lessons, some of them consisting of 72 verses, some of only seven, and the consequent uncertainty as to the length of the week-day services, was a great practical evil. The length of the passages of Scripture, the commissioners thought, should be equalised, and in some cases diminished. One or two other bishops expressed approval. The resolution adopting the report was then unanimously agreed to, as was also an address to the Queen praying that the new scheme might have the SAW* tion of law. The revision of the authorised version of the Scripture), was also considered. The Bishop of Winchester presented a report from the Convocation of Canterbury in favour of a joint-committee of both Houses being appointed to report upon the desirableness of a revision, whether by marginal notes or otherwise. Some resolutions from the same province were also presented to the effect that the revision should be so conducted as to comprise both marginal renderings and emendations of the text, the style of the present version being followed, and that no retranslation be attempted. The Bishop of St. Davids expressed his belief that such a work as this could not be brought to too early a conclusion. The Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol did not believe that such a measure as that now proposed would tend to Frenchify the authorised version. For himself, personal he might say that he should have no difficulty wor with any one in this country with a proper depth an earnestness if he was thoroughly acquainted with the lan guage of the original. He should not be unwilling to co-operate with men who were not, members of the Church of England, if they were serious men and good scholars. After some discussion, the Bishop of London, before putting the motion, said he should have been better satisfied if the proposition originally made with regard to the revision had been adhered to, namely—that it should be applied to the New Testament alone. His reasons simply were that the New Testament seemed more ripe for revision than the Old Testament, and more likely to be accomplished within a reasonable time. Convo cation could do nothing but nominate its own mem bers, but it was at liberty to invite co-opera tion. He could not say how far the correctness of the v ers i on itself could be improved or secured by the co-operation of others, but he was quite certain that the accept ance of such a version by the English speaking population throughout the world would depend upon the way in which co-operation with others might be secured. They must be lib era l i n the i r invitations, so that all parties in the Ch urc h might have confidence. The resolution was . then carr i e d unanimously, and a co mmittee was appomted to prepare a scheme of revision, the Lower House being invited to contribute its quota of members.
