Englishmen have frequently wondered at the extraordinary influence exercised by the pro slavery party in the rinited States. They can not understand how a small and insignificant minority could control and ride roughshod over a majority seventy times their number—how 300,000 planters could overrule the opinions of 25,000,000 of freemen, each of whom was theoreti cally supposed to possess an equal voice in the direc tion of public affairs. We now, however, possess a key to the mystery. The solution of the pro blem is by no means difficult. It is to be found in the reckless and unflinching determination that excludes argument, and threatens with the revolver and the bowie knife any one who has the hardihood to express an opinion in opposition to the thick-and-thin adherents of " the domestic institution." It is not even necessary to dissent from these ruffian legislators. Should a doubt be entertained as to the views of any known person he will be exposed to certain insult and very considerable danger. It would be as much as a man's life was worth to have it supposed that he was "an Englishman." The old boast of Lord PALMERSTON, that the mere faot of a person being a citizen of Great Britain would insure his protection in any part of the world, cleaily does not apply to the Southern States of America. There he may be tarred and feathered, imprisoned, banished, stabbed, shot, or hanged, without the slightest chance of redress b e ing obtained. The Government are either absolutely powerless, or, what is still worse, con nive at these excesses, and thereby render them selves participators in the crime ; and yet they permit their Commissioner, Mr. Antos B. C on _ wiNs, to suggest the occupation of the entire Isthmus of Panama, in violation of a solemn treaty, because he alleges that the New Granada Government is unable or unwilling to protect Passengers through their territory. Should they not first remove the " beam " that obstructs their own vision before they cavil at the mote that dims the eight of their New Granada brethren 7 A letter addressed to a morning contemporary, and which we have transferred to our columns, presents so graphic and truthful a description of the system in force in the " debateable land" of Kansas that it casts an entirely new light on the subject. From a credible and trustworthy wit ness, who has himself beheld the transactions he so clearly narrates, we receive an account of the existing state of affairs in that unfortunate dis trict. There is a Terisimilitude about the narra tive of Mr. G LADSTONE that induces us to l en d an easy credence to his statements. The m os t v i v i d i mag ination could s carcel y conceive anything like the unmitigated ruffian described as " one of the niwst respectable merchants in Weston, who, as was evident, did not deny himself in the rum punch, g' ~a-sling, brandy cocktails, and other compounds issued at the bar !" That highly-respectable indi vidual (!), with the head of a pistol protruding from on e p oc k e t, and brandishing another loaded and ready for action, with threatening aspect and atti'cude, occupied himself in fulminating the most s Anguinary threats, and grossly insulting all whom he found to fall short of his own reckless deter mination. "I am bound to bring down some one before I'm done ; I tell you, by G— I am. I'll teach those infernal nigger-stealing Free-soilers a lesson right pertly, that's a fact. If there's a dog-gauned Abolitionist abroad, I should like to see him, that I should. I'm the man to put a chunk of lead into his woolly head right off, that's what I'll do ! I reckon I can raise the top off the head of ere a one of you with this here tool. Speak the word, and by G— I'm your man ! That's so. I should like to see the first Freesoiler that opens his mouth, that I should. I'd send him to hell pretty quick afore he knew what he was about, that's what I'd do. I'm a ce-urious customer, I am !" And yet this foul-mouthed miscreant, who continued to pour forth these atrocious threats without intermission, interlarding his dis course with the most horrible and blasphemous imprecations, in place of being at once dis armed and ducked, or put in irons, was sur vounded by an admiring and sympathising crowd, ready to take his part, and to lynch any one who dared to resent the insults so profusely scattered around, or to lift the gauntlet which he had so daringly flung down. The great majority of the audience were worthy of the orator—" men of large frame, with red flannel shirts and immense boots, worn oat side their trousers, their faces unwashed and un shaven, still reeking with the smoke and dust and bloodshed of Lawrence, wearing the most savage looks, and giving utterance to the most horrible imprecations and blasphemies, armed, moreover, to the teeth with rifles and revolvers, cutlasses and bowie knives " maddened with whisky, and inlaming each other to fresh acts of atrocity ! Such were the men described by the pro-slavery journals, as " the friends of law and order." ! ! ! Journals which headed their columns with expressions such as " War to the Knife," and strove to increase the fierce excite ment that prevailed on every side. Was such a scene ever before witnessed in a quaai civilised land ? Even the Sans Culottes of the olden time sink into insignificance when compared with these ruffians, who prostituted the name of liberty by their fearful excesses. The respectable merchant of Weston could only be compared to a Malay running a-muck. He was worse than a noxious animal, and should have been put into a lunatic asylum at the first convenient opportunity. But after such scenes, can we wonder at the temporary success of a cause supported. by such means ? No indi vidual could undertake the Quixotic task of taming all the ruffians of whom this " respectable merchant" was the type. It could only be done by the general movement of the Federal troops. But unfortunately these are the pets of the President—these are the classes whom he lends all the power of the Exe cutive to support. Should this state of affairs long continuo it will be the imperative duty of the Northern Free-soilers to sever an union that can no longer be maintained with credit to them selves or advantage to the community at large. That simple course will soon bring .f‘ the friends of law and order Or to their senses, 4nd take down 'their conceit and bullying propensities in no trifling degree. " What is Reform ?" inquired a neophyte of a veteran in politics. " Why, plaster ; nothing but plaster," was the reply. " The old Constitution gets so cranky as to excite alarm, and the Whigs, who pretend to be its special guardians, and who contrive to make a good thing of it, stucco the front. That's Reform." A briefer answer, and one which all will well understand, will be round in the words, " A Whig do." What else was the Reform Bill, with its re stricted and ill-apportioned suffrage and open voting! A triumph for the people certainly at the time, inasmuch as it was an illustration or vindication of their power, if not of their intelli gence. But what followed ° Why, a Venetian oligarchy, that could do and did pretty much as it liked—the transfer of the governing power to the Whigs, who pretended to be the People's friends, from the Tories, who did not. Never was there a greater swindle—never had a com munity better reason to exclaim, " Save us from our friends." The vile system of borough-mongering was to receive its coup de grace—the venal tribes of freemen, potwallopers, and scot and lot voters were to be set aside or swamped by intelligent and middle-class constituencies the People's voice was to be heard in the People's House, and Ministers for the future were to put in force the People's behests. Instead of whic'i, what were the results ? Tory borough-mongering received a severe blow ; hig boroughs vere omitted from the fatal schedules. The work of corruption went on to a large extent as before, and intimi dation became almost universal. A petty shop keeper found it hard to keep a conscience, know inv, if he did so, its owner's virtue would be rewarded by blank books and an empty till. The People's House became a second House of Peers —all sorts of adventurers found their way into it —all sorts of interests were represented in it— the interests of the People were least represented of all. The People, believing in the sham, cried out for further reforms. Such as Gould not pru dently be denied, and did the Whigs no harm, were conceded ; mostly, the people got commis sions. Was anything too glaringly oppressive and absurd. Out, at the Minister's word, sprang a commission. Whatever there was of vir tue in the People's House was systemati cally tempted by the very means with which Ministers set about their pretended reforms. The more appearance there was of concession the greater danger to the people's rights. The entire kingdom was menaced, as it still is, with a perfect ' network of centralisation. Almost every good thing the people got had a tag to it, which made it questionable, iu many cases, whether in the long run they had not better have been without it. What the Tories, with their apparent irresponsi bility, could not do—the Whigs, with their appa rent responsibility, did. The upshot waa a Tory Ministry came into power, and the people got $ more of what they wanted from their i old antagonists than they did from their I friends. PEEL obliterated the Corn Laws from the statute-book, gave us Free Tr a d e ___ ! immense boons—and the everlasting Whigs were called cm again. DISRAELI followed, and perished in the pangs of parturition. The Whigs struck up an alliance with the supple ABERDEEN —and b e t wee n them the country drifted into war. Then came PALMERSTON, and the Government was all Whig together—Whigs of the pure old blood. All this time the people were nowhere. The thought of calling in a Ministry of the represen t tatives of the People was never suffered to dwell in the Royal brain. Office was made by the ' Reform Bill, and the precious Reform Bill kept it perpetually within their grasp. They gave titles, they dealt in promises, they taxed the people, they led the House of Commons by the nose. One popular representative was a soldier, another a sailor, a third a lawyer, a fourth had an ambitious wife, a fifth had friends or supporters who longed for a Go vernment appointment, a sixth, seventh, and eighth had friends who wanted a Government lift of some sort. Every Member's besetting sin was studied—every member's wish had but to be ex pressed, sooner or later, to be gratified. The country might go to the dogs so that the Whigs continued in power, and a long way in that direction the country went. In all our history there is hardly anything more infamous, hardly anything more discreditable to the govern ing power, than the mismanagement of the Russian War, and its conclusion by the " Precious Peace." Whiggism never showed itself so presumptuous and so deplorably cftte. We should have to go far back, indeed, to discover when the country was so stultified, had its interests so neglected, and its dignity so seriously lowered. "I am the State," said the vainglorious Lours. "I am the Lords and Commons ; I am the governing power !" might Lord PALMERSTON have said with equal truth, from his entrance into power up to the conclusion of Peace; "I, as the leader of the Old Whigs." The people stared, the peopl e wondered, the people lamented, but they did not rise and drive their oligarchic rulers from power. They subscribed to the Crimean Fund, and delivered themselves over to the fasci nations of the Times correspondent. Throughout the entire war—throughout the sittings of the Congress at Paris, the People's lips were as good as closed. The voice that could awake Europe was sealed by the Reform Bill of '32, and now that the future is clouded more than ever, and we are drifting we know not where—their lips are still closed—and the cry for Vote by Ballot and an Extension of the Suffrage, those essentially necessary measures, is waited for in vain. We have one comfort—this state of things can't last for ever. Death of John Wood, Esq., Chairman of the Board of Inland Revenue. We regret to announce the demise of this much-respected public servant, who departed this life at two o'clock yesterday morning, at York House, Bath, in the 66th year of his age. Mr. Wood has for some time past been suffer ing from a severe and dangerous complaint, and had left town for Bath, in the hope that quietude and a change of air might restore him to health. Until within the last few days no change for the worse appeared. On Thursday much anxiety was entertained as to his safety, and, as already stated, on Friday morning he expired. Mr. Wood had been advantageously connected with the public service for upwards of a quarter of a century, first as Chairman of the Board of Stamps and Taxes, and afterwards as Chairman of the Board of Inland Revenue, which office he filled till the time of his death. Mr. Wood was elected a member of Parliament for the borough of Prestsn in the year 1826, when he stoutly contested the town against Capt. Barrie, of the Royal Navy, who was energetically supported by the Tory party of Preston. Lord Stanley (the present Earl of Derby) was elected with Mr. Wood on the same occasion. In politics Mr. Wood was a staunch Reformer, and, during his stay in the House of Commons, invariably voted for honest and cheap govern ment. On assuming office under the Govern ment he withdrew from political life, and directed his attention entirely to the public service. Mr. Wood was on of Mr. Ottiwell Wood, first a successful manufacturer in Manchester, and sub sequently, till the period of his death, a retired gentleman in Liverpool, where, during a long and useful life, he took a distinguished lead in most of the great political movements that agitated the public mind previous to the passing of the Reform Bill. Mr. John Wood has left a widow and two daughters to lament the loss of a kind husband and most indulgent father. THE COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, OCT. 9, The Queen and the Prince Consort went yesterday to the Shiel of Alt na Guissach, where they remain the night. The llon. Mary Seymour was in attendance upon her Majesty. Meetings of the Oxford University Commission were held at No. 17, Great Queen-street, Westminster, on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday last. The com missioners present were the Earl of Harrowby, the Hon. Edward Twisleton, the Dean of Wells, Sir John ANelry, and the secretaries. Despatches wore sent yesterday from the Colonia Office to the Governor.: of the North American Provinces. We are informed that her Majesty, on her return from Scotland next week, purposes pursuing a route which will obviate the necessity of her passage through the streets of London, viz , from the great northern Rail- way, near the cattle market, on to the North London line, and from the latter line, on to the London and South Western by a junction at Kew. A connection exists between all the railways north of the Thames, havinz termini in London, and the South Western. Her Majesty, therefore, will be enabled to proceed direct from Scotland to Windsor without (if she chooses) re moving from her seat, the railway carriage proceeding throughout the entire journey. Her Majesty will reach the junction with the North London about 6.30 p.m. on the 17th instant. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary are expected to arrive to-day in town, from Germany. We have learned with much pleasure that General Windham, who distinguished himself so greatly in the attack on the Sebastopol Redan, has accepted the offer of a divisional command in India. 'We believe that he will soon be gazetted to the staff of the Bengal army.— Smith, Elder, and Co.'s Overland Mail. We announced yesterday the probability of Captain Hackett declining to accept the vacancy at Greenwich Hospital, caused by the lamented death of Captain Monbray. We have now to state that Sir C. W ood has bestowed the office on Capt. W. A. Willis (1844), who entered the navy Aug. 24, 1811, and obtained his first commission July 17, 1821. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Last evening', on the occa sion of her benefit, Mrs. E. Waller appeared in the cha racter of Beatrice, in " Much Ado about Nothing." The performance was not an even one ; the fourth act was her greatest triumph. Mr. B. Sullivan sustained the part of Benedick excellently, and Mr. A. Young made a capital Dogbcrry. The house was very fully and fashionably attended. Tali NEW CONVICT PRISON AT CHATIIIII.—On We d• nesday nearly 200 convicts arrived at the new convict prison, Chatham, from Woolwich, having been trans ferred from the Warrior hulk. The convicts were in charge of Capt. Buller, the governor of the consolidated establishment at Chatham, and, on landing at St. Mary's creek, were marched up to the new prison, where they were received by Major Stewart, late of the 92d High landers, deputy-governcr of the establishment. There are at present about 300 convicts at Chatham, who for merly occupied the Warrior hull:. The prisoners now on board the Defence hulk will he removed to Chatham on the 16th Inst., and after th e y have been transferred to Chatham the Warrior and Defence are to be broken up. The new establishment at Chatham affords accommoda tion for 1,100 convicts, nearly double the number sta tioned on board the Warrior and Defence. Only a por tion of the building at Chatham is completed, but as soon as the whole is finis led convicts will be forwarded to that prison from Dartmoor, Portsmouth, and Mill bank. It is intended that the prisoners shall be employed in excavating the found atio° of the large steam basin to be constructed at Cha+ A lai n Dockyard,—Timm. rnE SUN, LOND',ON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCrOBER I], 18stt LATEST NEWS THE OVERLAND MAIL. " TRIESTE, OCT. 10. The steamer Australia arrived here to-dar, at 11.30 a.m., 111 hours from Alexandria, which port she left on the sth of October. The India mail was to leave on that day, with intelligence from Calcutta to the Bth of September, Bombay the 12th of September, Melbourne the 12th of July, and Ceylon the 16th of September. Preparations for a Persian expedition were vigorously carried on in all departments. The Supreme Government had opened a new Four-and-a-Half per Cent.

Calcutta exchange steady at 2s. Id. At Melbourne wet weather had caused a temporary depression in trade, and there was a decrease in the gold production ; but there were signs of a revival, and commerce was sound. PARIS, SATURDAY MORNING. The rumour is confirmed that Russia has de manded the convocation of the second Plenipo tentiaries of the Congress of Paris. France has consented to this. TRIESTE, OCT. 10. The Chief Judge Chakri, the opponent of all reforms, has excited disturbances at Kutaia. The Porte has ordered troops to march thither. Some uneasiness is felt for the tranquillity of Syria. The Gladiator has sailed hence for Naples. OOPENHA GEN, FRIDAY. The Facclerlandet newspaper announces that the question of the Sound dues is settled, Eng and and Denmark having come to an agreement. The land transit duty is to be reduced. The Ministerial crisis continues at its height. Le Nord states that at Berlin the belief gathers strength that Russia has demanded the resump tion of the Conferences by the meeting of the secondary plenipotentiaries who had seats in the Peace Congress. France and Prussia, it is said, readily consent to this proposition. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post ,bird edition), iu his letter dated yesterday, SUS :- " The language of the Neapolitan Minister, I hear, at the Court of Tuileries is now pretty de cided. His Excellency declares that no naval demonstration will take place, and hints that England and France are only too glad to get out of the Neapolitan question without attempting to extort from King Ferdinand any concessions. ghis, I believe, is going a little too far ; and it must be observed that the representative of his Sicilian Majesty at Paris appears from the first to have had instructions to hold his head up and speak bravely. The utmost reserve about Nea politan affairs is now the order of the day in the diplomatic world, as if higher personages were settling the difficulty. I have heard, though I can not say it is correct, that the Neapolitan Cabinet has offered to withdraw insulting expressions in certain despatches which have been sent to Lon - don and Paris. I can only conclude some very strong reasons must exist for the present stagna tion, and people here begin to say, " France will do nothing, and England will help her." T. cannot believe that this assertion will prove correct. A despatch from Constantinople says her Majesty's ship Gladiator had left for Naples. The vessel will be acceptable to the British residents, who have long asked for some protection in case •f accidents. The Continental journals in the pay of Russia and Austria all sing the same tune about the Neapolitan affairs—viz., there are few political prisoners in the Two Sicilics ; the King has a right to do what he likes with his own ; and the old assertion, that intervention is only allowable to support the cause of the Crown, and to aid the just demands of the people ; to shield them from eruelty and acknowledge their right to be ruled as if they were human beings, and not dogs. Then the Sovereign calling in foreign aid is a legal proceeding, but the people have no right to use any such privilege. Divine right is centred alone in such men as King Ferdinand. The Paris correspondent of the Times (seconJ edition) in his letter dated yesterday, says : " I do not learn that any official news has been received from Naples since my last letter, or that the French fleet has made a movement. Private letters of the sth, have, however, been received, and they speak of the continued " excitement" &Tong the population, and the difficulty of •oming to any conclusion as to the conduct of the Allies, though it is hardly credited that all the threatened demonstrations will end in nothing. With respect to the Emperor Napo leon, it is surmised at Naples that he is only pursuing his accustomed mode of action—that he is reserved and cautious to the last, admitting few or none to his confidence, but discovering tb. Firrets of other men's minds, and taking adv tacie of the faults and follies of all parties, so that world o h r e l n d the by surprise,ho ur of a actionshe ia has is everarr d ive o d n e. to take the The Oesterreichische Zeittuty has a letter of the 29th of September from Cattaro, in which it is said that the Montengrin question "is as good as settled."

FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.

V[EN-NA, October AUSTRI 7. —According to some of the Frelch and German papers, the Paris Conferences are 10 recommence on the 15th of October, but tL• assurance has been given me that such will not be the :lase. Before the members of the Conference sepacated in the month of April last, they agreed that all matters of detail should be settled in • Pare by the resident representatives of the rovers who were parties to the treaty of peace, end as no other arrangement has since been made, the sittings of the Conference cannot well be resumed until Baron Hubner has re turned to his post. It is `C . vident that the Austrian diplomatist is in nc hurry to get back to Paris, for he purposes going ma few days t o I sc hl to pay his respects to their Majesties, awl. to return again to Vienna, instead of continuing his journey by way of Salzburg and Strasburg, to the French capital. As Baron Hubner is to meet Prince Metternich tt Dresden a fortnight hence it is probable that he will be at his post on or about the 23d or 24th of this month. In a former letter it was hinted that the relations between Austita and France ,were some what less intimate than was the case a few months ago, and reliable information has now been ac quired, that there is a very considerable difference of opinion between the two Governments on more than one question of importance. The Emperor of the French is inclined to make the Conference or Congress permanent in Paris, and to this Austria strongly objects, as she has not forgotton the "conversations" respecting Italy which took place during the sittings held on the Bth and 14th of April last. The reorganisation of the Danubian Principalities is another point on which the French and Austrian Governments do not agree, for the former still favours the union of Moldavia and Wal lachia, and the latter openly declares that to unite the two provinces would be to play the game of Russia. The policy of England in Italy is an abomination in the sight of Austria, but she fully approves of the firmness which the British Cabinet displays towards Russia. THE NEAPOLITAN QUESTION. NAPLES, Oct. 6.—lt is pretty positively stated w rwi l oi t cs a a t t w tthh i ea ll ti; b lu e wb t ii l lt t e e b. s l pll thei e rt a i s police re s adopted by Government in the event o f th e arr i va l o f t h e a lli e d fl ee i s.

It has, then, been resolved to place the city in a state of siege immediately that the fleet heaves in view. It is said that the decree is already drawn up. The Command ant of the city has already been changed, and in place of Gen. Gaeta has been substituted Geu. Lanza, who participated with Gen. Filangieri in the reduction of Sicily, in the repression of in- surrection of Calabria in 1848, and in the campaign in the Roman States against Garibaldi. These facts will describe the new Go - rernor. The Government therefore fears the enthusiasm of the people, and the manifestation of their true sentiments and desire on the return to a legal system of Government, which in fact, and not by right, has been destroyed. Should, therefore, all such manifestations be sup presssed, either by force or from a sense of prudence silence and tranquility must not be taken as the offspring of indifference or of ingratitude, but of experience of violence, and of a desire to avoid a new catastrophe similar to that of May 15, 1848. There is an American vessel here called the Sup ply, which will remain to watch over the citizens of the United States. Padre Ruggiero has been pardoned. The following notice, in writing, was stuck on the walls of Naples this morning :—" Two fleets have been lost in the Mediterranean. Should any one find them, and bring notice of them to a Mini ster, he shall be rewarded." Thus England is doomed to the last indignity which can be inflicted upon her—to be ridiculed by Neapolitans. Le _Nord of Thursday contains the following from a correspondent at Vienna, dated the sth : " At length Austria has taken a decided step to- wards indicating the part she intends to play in the complications of Naples. Shortly after the publica tion of Prince Gortschakofts circular, our cabinet — I have the intelligence from an indisputable source —sent to Paris a - note couched in much more ever• getic terms than any previous communicaton. In this note France is urged, in an amicable but very earnest spirit, not to allow herself to be dragged by England into employing demonstrative measures against the King of Naples, which would have the character of a pressure or menace, but to con fine herself, as Austria has done, to friendly repre sentations, which no injury to the sovereign rights of that monarch. "It would hardly be possible for an explicit re ply to this note to have reached Vienna by this time, but the French Government has already, by means of the telegraph, sent very reassuring ex planations, disposing altogether of the apprehen sions relative to the pretended naval expedition, and leading us to hope that England, if she per sists in certain demonstrations, will remain per fectly isolated—a fact sufficient to cause her to re nounce, for the moment, every project of the kind. I am even assured that at the request of Austria the French Government has positively declared to the British Ministers that it will not join in a movement having the appearance of intimidation. Thus the words of Prince Gortschakoff, which, ac cording to the English press, were to find no echo, were not uttered in vain, but have found a sym pathetic reception which will double their moral effect." BELGIUM. The Belgian Minister of the Interior, M. P. de Decker, has addressed a letter to the Heads of the Universities of Gand and Liege, in which he en joins the professors to abstain from all direct attacks against the essential principles of the religions professed in Belgium. He observes that it is not necessary that the professors should treat irritating and controverted questions in their lectures, but that if ever they are led to deal with such delicate matters it should be done with reserve. The Minister observes, in the course of his letter, that he is bound to take care that the teaching of the universities shall be such as may gain the confidence of families, and he re peatedly declares that he will discharge his duty with firmness. SOUTH AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY EVENING, The Royal Mail Company's steam ship Tyne, Captain Valler, with the usual mails in charge of Lieutenant Barrow, arrived this evening at seven o'clock. - - The Tyne brings mails from Buenos Ayres, Sept. 9 ; Monte Video, 4th ; Rio do Janeiro. 14th ; Bahia, 18th ; Pernambuco, 20th ; St. Vincent, 28th • Teneriffe, Oct. 2; Madeira , 4th ; Lisbon, 7th. The Tyne brings specie and jewels to the amount of 30,0001., and on freight 270 barrels opioca, 20 serons ip e cacuanha, 2 00 bags cocoa, fto 450 bags of cochineal, and 1,000 boxes of oranges. The anniversary of the independence of Brazil was celebrated with great rejoicings on the 7th Sept. The Emperor held a levee, and reviewed the troops. In the evening the whole city was bril liantly illuminated. and the streets densely thronged with people. The Emperor wont in state to the Opera, which was crowded to the ceiling, and the fair Brazilians were in a blaze of diamonds. Tam berlik carried the house by storm in singing a national hymn. A virulent outbreak of cholera took place at St. Vincent on the 25th August, and lasted 15 days, in which time, out of a population of 1,200, it car ried off 040. At the time the Tyne left there had not been a case for 15 days. H.M.S. Indefatigable, Madagascar, Harrier, and Spy, with the French brig of war Beaurnauoir, and the American frigate Savannah, were at Rio Janeiro. The Virago was at Pernambuco. Advices from Buenos Ayres represent trade as exceedingly dull, and the Government as in a state of financial embarrassment. The deficit in the revenue for the current year remained unpro vided for, for although the bill authorising the c reation of ten millions of pu blic funds h ad been sanctioned by the Chamber of Representatives, it had not been taken into consideration by the Senate, and its fate there was considered pro. blematical. COMMERCIAL. BUENOS AYRES, AUG. 30. Importations have been very moderate, and the com plaints, of bad assortments are louder and louder. i For articles in demand there mont in prices ; and most look fo rwar d with some c onfidence to the ensuing month, should no political oc currence take place to mar the prospect. The arrivals of articles of daily Consumption have • been frequent and heavy, but apparently not more so than the necessities of the market require. Rice is the article that has declined most. Rum or cana is also in languid demand, and to realise sales holders must abate somewhat of their late pretensions. Sugar is firm and likely to remain so till the fato of the crops in Brazil is certainly known. The consumption is immense, and it is hardly possible to overstock the mar ket. Spanish wine, though abundant, continues firm, and being also an articl,i of immense consumption, a very short term is required to restore the equil.briurn of the market. Gin is in good demand, avd may be considered a safe article of investment. Export Produce. --.Under this head we have no im portant variation to note since our lasi. PERNAMBUCO, SEPT. 17.

CANADA. ARRIVAL OF THE CANADIAN. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY. The Montreal Company's screw steamer Cauadian, Captain Ballantine, arrived here last night. She sailed from Quebec at five o'clock on the morning of the 28th ult., having been detained in conse quence of the delay of the arrival of the Western mails from the 27th. She brings a heavy cargo and 112 passengers, besides the usual mails from the British North American provinces. _ The Canadian passed the screw steamship Anglo- Saxon, of the same line, October 2, lat. 53.26 N., lon. 49.15 W., hence to Quebec ; and on the 9th, off the Copelands, the North American, for the same port. A fearful tornado had passed over a portion of the Canadian provinces, destroying fences, break ing trees, and unroofing barns and houses. The effects were felt in and around Kemptville. From Nova Scotia we learn that at Windsor Mr. Howe was elected without contest. ——-- -- The jury empanelled — upon — the Port Hope tra gedy had agreed to the following verdict :—"We, the undersigned jurymen, empanelled to inquire how and by what means Thomas Henderson, de ceased, came by his death, on our oaths, do find that the said deceased came to his death by means of a bullet discharged from a pistol in the hand of George Brogdin ; and we do further find that said George Brogdin committed such under great and justifiable provocation, and would express the strongest reprobation of that course of licentious ness on the part of the deceased which produced such a fearful retaliation." Commercial affairs at Quebec were exceedingly quiet. The timber trade is reported to be steady.

We take the fol lowing from the Cape Totem Mail of that date : "We noticed last Saturday, a rumour prevailing in Cape Town, that ' some alarm had been created in the Caffre border.' Three posts have since arrived from the frontier, without in the slightest degree confirming that rumour, or even allgding to any suck. alarm. There must, therefore, have been a mistake somewhere. The rumour, probably originated in some cDlliqons that have recently taken place beyond the Orange River between the Free State and a native chief named Wietze, a quarrel which is not yet settled, and which it was feared at one time night lead to something more serious between the State and the powerful Chief of the Basutus, Moshesh. Peace between those two parties is the paramount interest of both. Of this, we have no doubt, hoth the President Boshoff and the Chief Moshesh are personally aware and convinced ; but it may not be entirely so with some of the people under them, and there exist, unhappily, some grounds of dissatislaction re specting boundaries which the British authorities left undetermined when her Majesty's authority was withdrawn from that quarter. There can bo no interfer ence now on our part unless both parties agree to submit the question to the Governor or to the Queen as umpire, as England and the United States of America did on a similar occasion to the King of the Netherlands. This would he the safest and cheapest course, provided both parties bind themselves to abide by the award. A war between them at present would be most destructive, and could only end in the total ruin of one of the parties, by no means to the advantage of either." THE MEDITERRANEAN. —SOUTHAMPTON, Oct. 10.—The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Indus, Capt. Brooke, with the heavy portion of the India, China, and Mediterranean mails, in charge of Lieut. Darby, R.N., Admiralty agent, arrived this afternoon. Her are Alexandria, Sept. 25 ; M alta, 29 ; Gibraltar, d Oct. tes a 4. The Indus brings 35 passengers, and on freight 7 pack ages of specie, value 6,424/ , principally gold from Malt 1, and a cargo, consisting of 2.778 bales of silk, 13 bags of elephants' teeth, 22 cases of shawls, 6 cases of sundries, 3 cases of bloodstone, 3 cases of tortoiseshell, and 170 packages of general merchandise. At Malta were H.M.S.

H.M.S. Vesuvius a" Ariel and the Peninsular and Oriental Compan y 'sj s teamer Euxine were at Gibraltar. Our tpualpicel from this port has not arrived by the Indus. Sir Joseph Paxton, M.P., presided at the dinner suc ceeding the annual exhibition of the Bakewell Farmers' Club, on Wednesday. In proposing the toast of the evening, " Success and prosperity to the Bakewell Far mers' Club," the hon. gentleman expressed his pleasure at the excellent exhibition of stock, ited proceed e d to say that last year he had introduced to th e not i ce of the secretary of the club a cheesemaking machine, believire, as there were many dairy farms in the distt let, it might; prove very advantageous. At his sug ges ti on it was placed in the hands of the largest cheeseinaker iu the neigh bourhood, and had been found to save a great deal of la bour, and 14 per cent. of mate r i a l . H e would recoil- mend the club to adopt that experimental system with re gard to every new machine which they thought it desirabi e to introduce. Having expressed an opinion that steam ploughs would,never be made to answer, so as to be pro fitable to the farmer, Sir Joseph cr i t i cised the sentiment recently propounded at an agricultural meeting by Sir 'James Graham with respect to the untoward influence which freedom in R uss i a m i ght exert on the condition of the English agriculturist. Sir James Graham must have lot such a doctrine slip in an unguarded for, in tru4t, when ever countries becamef re momente Last week, for instance, we had 16,000 cl ra. of corn from Russia, and only 4 , 000 from America, showing that where commerce was carried on in a free country the people were enslaved. If Russia were as free as England, arts, manufactur es , an d other commercial pursuits woulll flourish more an d agriculture less. Having spoken in favour of a system of agricultural statistics, he re marked that, as f ar as he could gather from conversations with many far mers i n that part of the country, they were desirous that any measure connected with agyicul• tural statistics should be carried out on some principle, and that th ey s h ould not be burdened with an ex p ens i ve machinery for its execution. If it could be done cheaply, and with as little trouble as possible, there would be few objections. Sir Joseph next referred to the question of the sewage o f large towns, advocating its application to agricultu ra l purposes, and conc l u ded his address amid loud applause. The Hon. G. H. Cavendish, M.P., an d other gentlem en , h av i n g acknowledged the toast, and some other toa s t s h a ving been propose d, the proceedings terminated.

THE AUTRIANS IN ROMAGNA. .wtR; •,* The following letter ham been addressed to a con temporary : Sir,—When at the Paris Congress mention was male of the painful state of affairs in Italy, you and the English press spoke in favour of that unhappy country ; and you did the same in the name of humanity on the occasion of my flight from the castle of Mantua. Tendering you my sincere thanks, I at the same time beg you will bring under the notice of the public the persecutions arid cruelties Committed every day by the Austrians on individuals that are not Austrian subjects, and in a country where Austria has no right to be, viz., the Papal States, governed for the last seven years, by three masters—the Pope, the Emperor of Aus tria, and the Emperor of the French. The letters which I receive frum my friends are full of accounts of the arbitrary acts daily com mitted by those powers on the population of that unfortunate country. The following is what they write to me from Romagna, one of the most en lightened provinces of Italy : On the night of the 3d o f January, 1855, Count Pasolini, a young man of 30, was arrested at Ce sena. The soldiers entered his palace throLigh a window, which they burst open with axes, and on the same night he was conducted to Bologna, slid lodged in the prison of St. Agnese, where for seve ral months he was not permitted to have any hooka or light. His mother, who is the sister of a gentle man holding a high appointment under the Aus trian Government, could only with difficulty ob tain permission to visit her son a year after his confinement. He has now been in gaol 21 months ; his health is g one, he havino , had two serious illr nesses during this time ; and he has not yet under gone any examination, nor has he been told the reason of his being arrested. A similar incident occurred in that town on the 27th of the same month, when the gens-d'armes entered the Excise office, arrested Artidoro Bazzacchi, one .of the clerks, whom they took at once to Bologna, where he is still languishing in a dungeon. On the 15th of January, 1855, the Austrians arrested at Bologna Alessandro Castegnoli, a stu dent at that university, and bastonaded him twice, with several other students. In the present year they arrested Baratelli, a merchant ; Bezzi, a silversmith ; Talentoni, an In dependent gentleman ; and Tamourini, a Post , office clerk. They endeavoured also to arrest at Cesena the brothers Finali, one an advocate and the other a surgeon ; also Monaresi, di Poggi, and Valzania, landowners, but they all succeeded in escaping into Piedmont. In 1854, 28 persons were condemned without any trial to 10, 15, 20 years' imprisonment, and amongst this number there was a lady, named Fenardi, belonging to a highly respectable family. None of the sentences were made known, nor any reason given why these unhappy beings were COD' demnei. Even mention of the above is consi dered high treason. The Austrian governor at Bologna orders the arrests, makes out the case for the prosecution, superintends the trials, signs the sentences ; in a word, he forms the judge and jury, and his soldiery take the part of executioners. Many young men from the Romagna, who succeeded in escaping from the tyranny of Austria, on landing at Marseilles were treated by the French authorities in a manner which makes humanity shudder. Without any motives, with out any suspicions against them, they were ar rested by the gens-d'armes, imprisoned, and when there was a certain number, were conducted under escort, like felons, par correspondance, to the French coast, in order to be shipped to England. This journey lasts from four to five months, and these unfortunate men reach Dover half starved, penniless, exhausted by fatigue and hardship, and without knowing how to beg a piece of bread. The only crime all these sufferers are guilty of is a great love for their country. In this manner are treated the Pope's subjects by the Emperors of Austria and France ; and this is what is tolerated by governments who are supposed to represent civi lised nations. As the Paris Congress is about to meet again, in the name of humanity, in the name of the peaze of Europe, in the name of oppressed Italy, raise, sir, your powerful voice, in order that an end be put t o such a disgraceful state of affairs.—l am, &c., FELICE ORSINI. 2, Cambridge-terrace, Hyde-park, October 9. THE WOMEN-FLOGGING ! IN MARYLEBONE. 1 . Yesterday there was a full attendance of the Glirectora and guardians of the poor of St. Marylebone, at the workhouse, New•road, it being understood that Ain Ridding would bring on his motion directing the master of the workhouse to refuse 'compliance with the order of the Poor•law Board that he should resign his situation. Mr. Braess accepted the chair ; and, after a variety of • business, Mr. RIDDING, on being called on, said, as the subject of the recent flogging, which had gained so much noto riety, was before the vestry, who, no doubt, had a right to express an opinion in tie matter, and more especially in respect so the interference of the Poor-law Board, and as that body bad not come to a decision, he thought it advisable that he should not proceed with his motion till he knew what that decision was. Under these circum stances, he requested the permission of the board to withdraws his motion for the present. (Hear, bear.) The motion was then withdrawn. Professor MARES proposed from th are workhouse esolu tionfor t th o e rmeusos ,s.ovral of the pauper children Tilbury's coach establishment, in,the New-road, factikig Marylebone? County Court.

When such a boon could be effected for 4001. a-year, he hoped the guardians would not hesitate to carry it out. Mr. WII. CARR opposed the motion. He had no oh- t e jection to moving the children right away from the con' ; taminating, influence of the workhouse into the country, but to remove them to a place in such close proximity to the workhouse was an absurdity. 2,1 r. RIDDING also opposed the motion. In addition to the 4001. per year rent for the premises desipt,ated. there must be a large outlay to adapt it for the use of the children. (Hear.) On a show of hands, the motion was negatived by * majority of 8 to 4, and on a division by 14 to 6. Dr. BACHHOFFNER, with much warmth, declared that this was the third time the question had been mooted. and that those who refused to " train up children in the way they should go" must take the responsibility. The board, after other business, separated. IV - OTHER FATAL CASUALTY AT BRYNA MALLY iiINE. WREXHAM, Thursday Night.—Upon revisiting the scene of the late fatal accident at Bryn-Mally mine this morning we found a larger crowd than yeiterday. The same anxious expression told the spectator at a glance that the water in the workings had not been sufficiently reduced to allow of a descent being made in search of their missing. comrades. The cage was still lifting out immense volumes of water at every stroke, but the engine which is ordinarily used for keeping the mine dry was idle in consequence of a lamentable accident which occurred last evening. About 8 o'clock, the chief engi neer, Robert Kenrick, had descended the pumping shaft a short distance for the purpose of changing the buckets, and was engaged in that duty when suddenly the eapstaa chain broke, and with some other gearing fell upon him, knocked him off the barrel or platform on which be was standing, and precipitated him to the bottom of the shaft. His body was gut out the same evening, and conveyed to his residence ont e h a e rs works close by, w h ere it now lies waiting the coroner's inquisiti on .

The wear of the buckets must have been very great and necessitated their being replaced, but there was no reason to believe that any other part of th machinery had been weakened by the extraordinary ser vice demanded of it. With the chain which caused Kenrick's death a rod had also become displaced, and at noun to day had not been recovered. It is expected that the pumping by this means will, however, be resumed to-night, and notwithstanding this untoward occurrence, we are happy to state the water is slightly diminishing, although the quantity raised is only one-half that raised yesterday. Information has been forwarded to the Go vernment Inspector, to afford him an opportunity of attending the inquest. THE CROPS IN NORTIIIIMBERLAND.—NEWCUSTLE• UPON-TYNE, Thursday Night. —We have bad two charming autumnal days, with a prospect of continued fine weather. Farmers are busy in every part of this comitywhere wheat 18 out, d ry i ng en d cart i ng w h at i s in ,tucks, ito(iks, and cutting down the standing corn. Six or ei , rht days more of fine weather w o uld complete the har ,j i 3 t. There sno question that what is now being gathered is a good deal damaged by the late storms, but there is every prospect that it will be get into the stack yard in a better condition than might have been con templat,cl some four or five days ago. If many of the farmers had not adopted that system of economy known " saving at the tap and losing at the bunghole" many fine crops= might have been secured in the stackyard before the storm came on. It must be very mortifying to them, and it is to be hoped will be a warning in future, as they are leading their damaged crops home, to see the rickyards of their neighbours, who have pursued a sounder and more liberal policy, well stored with the well-harvested fruits of their industry and forethought.
