"G ' l3l-ERIC -d• I EXPECTED ARRIVAL OF .THE AL Although the Europ3, with the; instructions to Lord Lyons, has made a rather long passage, it is expected she will have arrived in time to enable the Africa, which will be due from New York on Sunday, to bring intelligence of the effect produced on the people and press of kmerica by the demand for the immediate surrender of Messrs. Mason and Slidell. The Europa, it appears, passed Cape Race on the 13th, and would arrive at Hali fax—whence her news would be immediately telegraphed in full to New York and Washington —on Sunday, the 15th. The Africa would not leave till the Wednesday following, thus affording three clear days for the expression of public opi nion, and for any premonitory statements or pre parations for compliance which the organs of the Cabinet might be prompted to put forth. The accounts yesterday of the gasconade of the New York journals on the arrival of the Hansa with the announcement that the Trent outrage had become known in London has an unfavourable appearance for the prospect of peace, especially when it is looked at as the reply to the efforts of the British press to cause the case to be viewed without anger and with the wish to give America every advantage that might be derived even from the utmost technicalities of legal precedents. But it is probable that the vigour subsequently shown by our Government when the question of right was settled will have more effect than that for bearance which has hitherto been found to serve only as a provocation for new aggressions, and, as every journal in the country is now virtually at the command of the Government and the army, there will perhaps be little difficulty in compelling, on their part, whatever change of tone or doctrine the members of the Cabinet may consider neces sary.—Tinges' City Article.

There appears to be a pretty general misconcep tion as to the period at which the reply of the Go vernment at Washington is likely to reach this country. Indications of what that reply is likely to he might have come, but have not, by the mail which arrived on Wednesday, and are certain to come by the mail due on Sunday ; but the proba bility is that the actual result will not be known here till ten days hence. The mail expected on Sunday is sure to bring news as to the effect pro duced " out of doors" by the intelligence that the British Government insists on reparation, though the news are not likely to include any fuller or more authentic knowledge of the instructions sent to Lord Lyons than is at present possessed by the pub lic in this country. Several days would almost certainly elapse before the precise terms laid before the Federal Government by Lord Lyons would be allowed to transpire, if indeed they were made pub lic any sooner than the decision or reply, which would not necessarily be given till seven days after the formal receipt of the despatch. It would, how ever, be known in New York immediately after the arrival of the English mail, and the American mail next due is the "return," that the despatch from the English Government, whatever its terms and details, involved a peremptory demand for the resto ration of the prisoners; and so we shall know im mediately the effect of that demand upon American public opinion, and especially upon the mercantile and money dealing classes. One effect is pretty certain to be more or less of a commercial and mone tary " panic," and especially a great fall in the market value of the loan, or, in other words, a great decline in the credit of the Government, which has already been greatly shaken by the report of the Treasury. It is considered pretty certain that the banks of the Federal States must suspend specie payments, as the only device for keeping their bul lion at home, and preserving even a nominal sol vency, loaded as they are with Treasury paper money, and as necessary also to the raising of farther leans by the Government. The effect of all this, and of the remonstrances of the mercantile classes, would certainly be restraining as to almost any other government ; but the Government at Wash ington, is so much tinder the influence of one light \ headed and reckless man (Mr. Seward), and so driven by pressure and clamour proceeding from the lowest political depths, that no favourable in ferences can be quite relied upon. In London the preponderating opinion in the best-informed circles —including, it is understood, the members of the Government—is still, we are sorry to be told, that there will be war, or at least, which is considered much the same thing, that there will be a refusal to give up the prisoners. There are, however, a con siderable number cf Americans in this country, be longing to the Federal party, who express confi dence that their Government will yield ; and this opinion must carry considerable weight, even though it is understood not to be partieipated in by the members of the American embassy. If Lord Lyons receive either a direct refusal, or an evasive or dilatory reply, he will return home forthwith, and of course that step will be immediately met by the recall of Mr. Adams. It is net certain, how ever, that acts of war will instantly follow, at least on our side—it is not improbable that the British Government may delay action till the meet ing of Parliament, which, in the case supposed, would take place early next month.—Scotsman. WILLS AND BEQU.LS2S. (From the Illustrated London News.) The will of the Most Noble Elizabeth, Dowager Marchioness Conyngham, of Hamilton-place, Pic cadilly, and Bifrons, near Canterbury, was proved in London on the 10th inst.; the executors nomi nated being the Marquis Conyngham, the son, and the Right Hon. Sir William Somerville, Bart., the son-in-law. The personalty was sworn under £200,000. The will bears the date of Dec. 28, 1849 ; and there are three codicils, executed in 1850, 1855, and 1857, which were all attested by the same witnesses—J. H. Benbow, Esq., Lincoln's Inn fields, and IV. H. Saltwell, his clerk. Her ladyship died at Bifrens, on the 11th of October last, aged 92. This venerable Marchioness, who passed the latter years of her life in the enjoyment of a trail quil seclusion, died possessed of a large fortune. Her ladyship had a family of five children, three sons and two daughters, only one surviving—the present Marquis, who inherits the family estates of the testatrix, which are devised to him by her will. The Marchioness also has bequeathed to her son the Marquis certain diamonds, emeralds, and pearls, to be retained by him as heirlooms. The rest of the jewels she leaves to her grand daughters, also a sum of £30,000 amongst them; and to her son-in-law Sir William Somer v ill e , a legacy of £2,000. There are other bequests to her solicitor, steward, and servants, and to the poor of the parishes of Patrickburn and Bridge, Kent, and Templearne, Donegal.

The anti-English feeling or prejudice that exists in the Federal States of America, though it may be loudly, and often vielenly asserted, is not wide`•y spread, and may be traced to a theological rather than to a political sourae. The most truculent and disreputable newspaper in the world, the ./1 etv York, Herald, and one that is especially notorious for its vulgar abuse of Great Britain at all times and on all occasions, is owned and conducted by a Roman Catholic Scotchman, whose name is synonymous all over America with everything that is slanderous and unprincipled. It is a journal of immense sale, but without influence ; written by rowdies for the amusement of rowdies, and only exists to be deprecated and disliked by every honest man in the country, Its praise is the ruin of a statesman or a func tionary; and its vituperation is a certain sign of merit or genius in the person who is fortunate enough to draw upon himself its ill word or adverse opinion. If ever a journal is found in America to express kindly feelings towards the people and Government of this country, its editors and con tributors prove on inquiry to be native Americans de scended from a British ancestry. And on the other hand, if a journal makes itself conspicuous by its violence towards England and her institutions, and strives to kindle ani mosity and rancour where peace and good-will ought to exist, its condactors almost invariably prove to be men of Irish birth or extraction, who have imbibed a theological as well as political hatred of England with their mother's milk and their earliest training. Such men as the Mitchel's, the Neaghers, and their compeers, to whom the Federal States are heartily welcome, or as the yet British subjects, Smith O'Brien and The O'Donoghue, who might transfer their allegiance to the Stars and Stripes without the slightest loss either to Ireland or to England— are the representatives of the class who keep up this con tinual bluster against Great Britain that sometimes alarms and always puzzles the people of this country. Their action upon the course of public affairs in the United States has generally been pernicious, and by none has it been more deeply depleted and condemned than by the respectable mercantile and professional community in every part of the North and the South, who have hitherto kept aloof from politics, as well as by the native born Americans of all classes who mingle in political life. As this anti-Protestant as well as anti-English party keeps compactly together, under the skilful guidance of priestly and other demagogues, it is able, in all ordinary cases of political struggle, when the native American par ties are nearly balanced, to turn the preponderance to whichever side it pleases. Hence both parties court it in emergency, and hence there is always an outcry against England whenever a great contest is to be decided by uni versal suffrage—the calculation being that whoever abuses England most pertinaciously will gain the votes of the Hiberno-American brigade, and so achieve the victory. The victory, whatever it may be, is no sooner won than the Americans cease their anti-English outcry, and leave it once more to the Irish, whom they detest, and whom they would gladly deprive of all voice in public's affairs, if it were possible to do so in a country that has profited so much by alien emigration. In the Southern States the great bulk of the white popu lation are of English and Scottish extraction, and proud of their connection with the old country. The Irish element is not lar ge, and the German element scarcely exists. But in the North the case is widely different. New York re ceives all the rowdyism and blackguardism of Europe, as well as nearly the whole of the Irish immigration, for dis tribution over the Far 'West. The German, Norwegian, and other European immigrants have no hatred for England, but they have no particular affection for it ; and though their descendants in the second and third generation speak English, and have some acquaintance with our great authors, ancient and modern, they do not on that account imbibe any feel ng of pride in, or tenderness towards, England, such as that which animates the children and grandchildren of Scotch men and Englishmen. Th• South, for want of the constant infusion of new blood from Europe, has become more and more English in sentiment and sympathy with the lapse of years ; while the original British blood of the North, except in the small corner known as the New England States, has been so diluted with that of Irish as well as with that of Swedes, Norwegians, Dutch, and. Germans, as to have gra dually lost its original character, and to be no longer of kith or kin to ourselves. An Englishman is apt to express amazement, if not horror at the idea that an American should hate England ; but in he would reflect on the fact that the " American" of the Northern and Western States has in three cases out of four no greater personal or ancestral relation to England than that of language, his amazement would be removed, and his horror very greatly diminished . In short, the Federal Americans may be to some extent of our kith, but the majority are not of our kin; and think it in no greater degree unnatural or fratri cidal to go t 3 war with Great Britain than the people of Great Britain would deem it to go to war with Russia, France, or Turkey, or even with China. And if, unfortu nately, the country should be driven into war with the Federal Government, it may tend to diminish both our i sorrow and reluctance at a catastrophe which we should have been glad to have avoided at any sacrifice, save honour, to know that three-fourths of our opponents are not even remotely of our lineage; while at the same time we have not deserved their enmity either by word or by deed. COST OF TILE MAYORAL.TY DINNER, 1861. Although we hear every season that the mayoralty festi vities are to be on a scale of unprecedented grandeur, yet a comparison of the expenditures of a series of years will show that a fixed amount of somewhat less than £3,000 is the prevailing cost of the Lord Mayor's procession and dinner on the 9th of November. In 1861, the total of all expenses incurred for pageant and feast was £2,903 13s Bd. Taking the particulars in the order of time, decorations cost £733 14s 0 d; and in this sum the items of chief inte rest are—hire of evergreens, £25; gas, £120; hire of look ing•.glasses, £22 10s; hire of Copeland's famous star (now an institution in connection with the festival), £52 10s; upholstery, £l2O 16s 9d; figures and painting in the hall (by Fenton), £219 ss; Prince of Wales's feather (another institution), £35; wands, £l7. Printing and stationery cost £B4 15s Bd—the two principal items being £35 for the dinner tickets, and £46 15s 2d for bills of fare and books of songs and decorations. The statuary is always a small, but most effective outlay. Payments to ten sculptors amounted to only £25 Gs 6d, and high art had its place at a cheaper rate than any other essential elements of the fes tival. The procession is entered at £345 5s 9d, but this was not the whole cost ; for in the miscellaneous budget are several charges pertaining to it, as £2 2s for the im mortal " four men on the roof," £2 2s for the Lord Mayor's beadle, and a few other items already included under the head of decorations. But taking the sum as stated, we find it includes £2l for the band of the Cold streams, £lO for the band of the Central London Rifles, £2l for the London Rifle Brigade band, £2B for the band of the London Militia, and a gratuity (not pay) of £lO lOs for the band of the mounted Life Guards. Men in armour cost £los—a high figure for those unhealthy-looking per sonages, but perhaps justified in the lesson in mediawal manners thereby conveyed to the delighted populace. The carrying of banners and hiring of dresses cost £33 12s ; the bands, troops, and police consumed refreshments to the amount of £33 Ils 6d ; gravel for the streets cost £lB 5s ; bell-ringing, £l5 15s; and scarves and favours, £i6 12s 3d. All things considered, there was plenty of show and music for less than £350. The general expenditure amounted to £143 12s 8d ; and in these disbursements there are few that need be specialised. Padlocks cost £1 is, though who or what was secured by them we do not know. Were they for the tongues of any ultra-radicals, surreptitiously in vited to the feast? Men to take care of cold provisions I for the poor were paid £4 5s ; the charwomen divided £2 11s amongst them; Mr. Mappin received £29 2s for Icutlery, and deserves praise that his knives were sharp ; perfumery amounted to £l6 3s 2d, and 62 servants' tickets 4 cost the enormous sum of £l2 Ss. Add to this payment to 3 Grenadier Guards, quadrille band, trumpeters, and vocalists 1 1 for the music in the hall, £5O 19s; and there remains only the dinner and wines, which were supplied as usual by 2 3 Messrs. Staples, at a cost of £1,520. The total of £2,903 ' 13s 8d was thus apportioned for payment :—The Lord 2 Mayor, £1,351 16s 10d ; Mr. Sheriff Cockerell and Mr. 2 Sheriff Twentyman, £675 18s 5d each; the City Lands 4 3 Committee added £2OO as usual. To make the record com p plete it should be added that the committee on the part of o. I 6 .he Lord Mayor consisted of Mr. Deputy Unwin (chair -3 5 man), Messrs. Snelling, Howard, Sully, Webber, Crosley, 4 Symonds, and Medwin ; on the part of Mr. Sheriff Cocks -4 roll, Messrs. Longden, Gibbons, Scamell, and G. R. Cocke rell ; on the part of Mr. Sheriff Twentyman, Mr. Deputy Lloyd, and Messrs. Lepard, Lawley, and Mason.—City Press. A HINDOO JUDGE.—Our obituary lately an nounced the death, on Wednesday, the 6th inst., at Cla rendon-place, Notting-hill, of Dadoba Dewajee, Esq , ex- Moonsiff (Judge) of Bhewndee, in the Presidency of Bom bay. The deceased gentleman belonged to a very old Hin doo family, distinguished by its faithful attachment and good services to the State. His own merits raised him to the most exalted station to which any native of India may aspire—a seat on the judicial bench. To talent of a high order he added the most inflexible integrity —untiring, zeal for the interests and honour of Government, and an honour so bright that on the occasion of his elevation to the bench it was described by one who knew him well—late a distin guished member of the Bombay Government—as honesty of purpose which is vindicated by its living and os ever present spirit, and in the presence of which the most to suspicious must cease to distrust."
