, 4t/L 417 RICAN AFFAIRS. ,From the Daily News.) It is not en s)ugli for our interest in the welfare of the Unitet't S cater to know in a general way that the power of the Executive has, from first to last, been on the side of the Missourian invaders of Kansas. It is. desirable 'to ascertain, when opportunity offers, elcActly vilaat. it is that the President has said and (.cone in the 7:flatter. Such an opportunity is afforded by the pu&iication of the Report of the Sub-com inittce of the National Kansas Committee, after an interview with the President at the end of last month. The Report is dated September Ist. It will be remembered that Congress appointed a committee of its own members to proceed to Kansas, in order to inquire into the respective claims of the opposition legislatures,, and report upon these and other specified matters. It will be remembere 1 that these federal offieials, sent by Congress, and members of that body, were in danger of their lives from the Missouri. invaders—that the process of taking evi dence - was stopped by force—that the members of the Commission were glad to get back iii any way they could—and that the evidence was smuggled across the Mississippi on the person of a lady who intrepidly offered that service to her country. It - will be further remembered that the ev;.d e ,aee was conclusive in regard to the respecti:;o claims of the rival legislatures ; there being' A'bundance of proof that the pro-slavery laws which decreed various barbarous punishment;, among which death was not the heaviest, fqr the holding of anti -slavery opinions, and which p rec l u d e d non - s l ave holders from serving on juries, and from the commonest social rights, were imposed upon the real inhabitants of Kansas by invaders from a neighbouring State. It was proved the.t every step was illegal; that qualified voters were kept away from the polls, while strangers who had no qualification were brought up in troops; that the ballot was falsified, the assessors intimi dates", and the elections a mere pretension for the ad sniesion of ruffianism. The judiciary appointed by the same means was as bad as the legislature and the exe cutive. All this was incontestably proved by the evidence brought back by the committee and pre sented to Congress. - The legality of the proceedings of the residents of Kansas was no lessclearly proved. The report, the evidence, and the speeches in Con gress grounded on them, are on record, as materials for the future historian. The President changed the Governor of Kansas, and, made no attempt to sustain the Chief Justice 'Appointed by the Border Ruffians. Not a day was to be lost in ascertaining what he meant to du for the defence of the territory against a threatened in vasion of Missourians, who declared their intention of clearing Kansas of every free settler. The free settlers had bought laud and built houses, and were living on their own property ; and those who were about to invade them had no business on the ground at all. Th e y h a d no proper t y t h ere — no claim of residence —no title whatever to act beyond their -own frontier. In this crisis, the Congressional Com mittee deputed thre e o f their members to wait on the President on the 30th of August, to "pray his interposition against the threatened slave oligarchic invasion of Kansas." As the interview was an appointed one, and as it related to the most important interest of the time, it mus s ; ; be assumed that the opinions and the words of the President had been thoroughly considered. The views expressed by him were these—as re ported by the deputation. President Pierce declared that while he had been - using the limited powers he possessed under the constitution for the preservation of order in Kansas, rebellion had been stirred up by the Emigrant Aid Societies, which had facilitated the access of set tlers to the new territory ; that the residents of Kansas, who had no concern with slavery, and should have let it alone to cure itself, stirred up trouble about it ; that the Border men, who were wild by education and habit, were naturally in censed by opposition about slavery ; that the Northern States should have forwarded men who carried bibles and no rifles, and who would not have opposed the Border men ; but that, instead of this, armed men were sent, who boasted that they could protect their own rights. If the settlers had not presumed on their claim to protect them selves, he (the President.) might have interfered ; but, as it was, they had, by their resistance, tied his hands. The sufferings of the settlers are, the President declares, their own fault, and the legitimate consequence of their disposition to pro tect themselves. No doubt their is fault on both aides. There is violent temper both at the South and at the North ; but, if each party would get rid of about a hundred agitators, all would come right, and peace be restored. Both parties claim theinterposition of the President, bringing precisely the same charges against each other • and, dis tant as Washington is from Kansas, he declares himself unable to decide between them. He can be guided only by official reports. General Smith's despatches have convinced him that no invasion need be apprehended. (Tins was said on the very day of the first'hattle under the new invasion.) If any should occur, it would be duly punished. Tito Federal troops are not there to repress outrages, but to be on the spot in case of invasion or rebel lion. The civil courts are the proper resort for redress (under laws, be it observed, which forbid free-soil men from cut, ring the jury box) ; and the President has never he a rd of any failure of justice iu the Kansas courts :—if such a case occurred, he should remove the judge. Ho does not see that au escort should have been granted to an applicant whose life was threatened. " General Smith thought that if the applicant was smart enough to find his way safely to him without an escort, he ought to be able to find hie way back." If the majority of the people it; Kansas had wauted peace and quiet, they could have had it,—simply by not making or permittino , any difficulty about slavery. He had always felt anxious about the ter ritory, and was extremely uneasy when Lawrence was sacked and burnt. That was not done under his authority. He admitted that mistakes had been made; but he had removed Shannon ; and now an impartial man was gone to be Governor ; and he would do justice to both parties, and hang any man of either party who should be caught in the commis sion of violence. His opinions on certain points pro posed to him were these—that persons who suffered violence on their way to Kansas could not expect anything from the Government—they must apply for redress to the courts of the State in which the injury was sustained ; the persons who suffered violence within the bounds of Kansas could not be protected by him otherwise than through the courts or under martial law ; that the federal troops Call act only as a posse comitatus iu support of the civil power ; and that Government having provided courts and a military support of them, the citizens ought to be satisfied, it being clear that any thing they may suffer roust arise from their own disre gard of law, or their applying for military protec tion when they should rest upon the civil power. Finally, persons entering the territory armed are not to be supposed invaders on that acccount ; nor are residents who carry arms to be supposed rebels on that account. To bear arms is the privilege of every American, and Government has no right to disarm him. Taus far the President delivers his views to silent hearers. He had all his own way—omitting, it may be observed, the somewhat important considera tion that of " the two parties" between whom he strove to bo impartial, the one was the constitu tional citizenship of Kansas, and the other mere lawless invasion ; omitting also another somewhat serious consideration—that the civil jurisdiction which he extolled as a perfect refuge was no con stitutional power at all, but an illegal pretence, im posed to deprive the citizens of justice and a re course to law and police—omitting also the consi deration that the subject of slavery was precisely that on which it was imperative on every settler to speak and act, the alternative left by silence being simply that of becoming a slaveholder or a slave. When it became the turn of the deputation to speak, they put a question to the President, and very pertinent was the question they put ; so pertinent, that the Pr , s'dent declined replying. The depu tation inquired whether, 1 a all the powers of the President, exerted from the beginning to preserve order and obedience io the exis' ing laws, had failed, so that the pr apsct wae now dcspeiat e , i t was not apparent that the fault lay in the uncon stitutional and impracticable character of the laws themselves ? This was a rational and obvious ques tion in a country where the citizens of each State make their own laws, which are, as a matter of course, obeyed and cherished by the great majority. This question the President declined discussing. Once more the deputation spoke. They pointed out the horrors of life in Kansas while marauding invaders pillaged, tormented, and slaughtered the rightful inhabitants, so that the residents would change for the better if transferred to Russia, Aus tria, Naples, or France ; and they inquired is bo ther, such being the results of Presidential met hods thus far, there was any hope of a change in the policy of the administration. The reply was— "No ; there will be none." Three days after this interview the President is sued his orders to the Governor of Kansas, prov i for a 1c wy of militia and an addition to the Federal force in the territory, for the purpose of supporting the Border Ruffian party, and suppressing the iu habitants as "insurgents." K entuc k y and Illi nois are ordered to supply militia regiments, in aid of the invaders again st th e citizens. We have same doubt whether Kentucky, though a slave State, will furnish any suchassistance. It is highly improbable that Illinoi s well w a t ere d as its soil is with the blood of martyrs in the anti slavery cause. This is for the future to show. Oar present business is to mar k the sayings and • doings of President Pierce, in preparation for the THE SUN, LONDON, SA.TUII,DAY EVENING, SEPrEmIIEiI 27, I 8 t. career of Mr. Buchanan. if we have opportunityo to show what a broad foundation Mr. Buchanan his laid by his congressional votes for the political edifice which President Pierce is working at on his behalf, it will be evident euoitzli that t e political liber;.ies of the citizens of the 'United S ates hang on the election of Colonel Fremon ; and that Colonel Fremont will, therefore, be n all proba bility elected. Every day is clearly mproving his chance. when the same Monarch gate to the borough of Liverpool the right of taxing the commerce of the whole country without any check at all the victims scarcely mur►nured from that day to this, for two hundred years. The victims, too, are those sturdy, noisy, independiant natives of the County Palatine of Lancaster. At the date of this notable grant it brought the town of Liverpool 141. 6s. Bd. a-year, just sufficient to buy a handsome gilt chain for his worship the Mayor. It now fetches 70,0001. or 80,0001. a-year, and one year's income is about all that the Corporation of Liverpool, as spent for the good of shipping during the last quarter of a cen tury. The rest of the million and three quarters collected in that period has been spent in widening streets, embellishing public buildings, and building a magnificent music-hall. The growth of this black mail from 141.65. 81=1. to 80,000/ a-year must be the origin of that hackneyed party phrase, " the point of the wedge." It is usually applied to the operations of Reformers, who are supposed to be adepts at the use of this instrument, but no achievement of theirs can be compared with this of the Conservative borough of Liverpool. In statistical charts variations are sometimes repre sented by dark currents, expanding or contracting, as the case may be ; and on this plan the growth of this iniquitous impost would require a pyramid of which the apex was 14/. 6s. Bd., and the base 80,000/., or more than five thousand times as much. The pyramid of Cheops, standing on its apex, is the most appropriate image we can think of for the legal and equitable basis of the tax ; and if Charles I. would revisit his ungrateful kingdom be would be delighted to find twenty millions still taxed by the divine right of one man. The meaning of the original grant and its appli cation to present times are not very clear. For example, tne grant particularises certain limits within which the dues may be levied, and certain articles whereon they may be levied. It may therefore admit of a reasonable doubt, to say the least, whether the dues may be lawfully levied in places beyond those limits and on other articles than those named. It might also be questioned what amount of dues should be paid on the articles not mentioned in the grant. But all questions on these points are overruled by the broad doctrine laid down by the Corporation, that the grant must be explained by the " user." As this is a legal word, or at least not a common one, we may as well say that it means a man may do any thing that he is used to do. The cook justified the skinning of eels alive on the ground that they were used to be skinned. The Corporation of Liverpool has a much better reply—viz , that it is used to skin eels. The one is the passive form of the argument, the other is the active, and it is much the more logical of the two, for the obvious reason that the cook might be used and the Cor poration might be used, but the eels, not being a corporation, could acquire no prescription, custom, habit, usance, or endurance ix the matter. We admit that the analogy does not strictly apply to the case of the eels skinned by the Corporation of Liverpool. Society induces a species of unity ; the submission of many sufferers makes a wrong seem inevitable ; and at last they may be said to be used to be skinned. The Corporation of Liver pool, however, ddains that defence, and takes the more manly course of resting the practice on its being used to skin them. It is said that even a worm will turn, and eels have risen, or rather wriggled, into rebellion at last against the cook— that is, the Liverpool Corporation. Whether they will succeed in rescuing their skins it is hard to say. " Use" is decidedly against them just now, for the use is to let things alone. The people of Manches ter themselves still betray the dominion of use. They are among the " waiters on Providence," or rather " waiters on Palmerston," whom Mr. Fox describes. It is too true, as he says, that " the House of Commons has been waiting for the people to agitate for reforms, and the people have been waiting for the House of Commons to originate. re forms." Have Manchester and its representatives been as serious on the subject of the Liverpool town dues as they might have been ? We are sorry t.) say that there prevails a grave suspicion that some of these gentlemen would have no objection to see Palmerston beaten by the Conservatives on this very question. If he is, the Mancheter people deserve to be skinned for another two hun dred years. THE SILVER QUESTION. (From the Times City Article.) The following communication sets forth in a very plain way some essential conclusions which must be kept in view in all discussions on the silver question. There are, however, several indirect circumstances which must be pointed out in connexion with them, and. which will greatly qualify, even if they do not entirely counteract, the results the writer antici pates. His argument is that, as India and China will take nothing but silver in settlement of any balance of trade that may be in their favour, no artificial measures, such as a debasement of the continental coinages, &c., can prevent silver from finding its way there. Grant, he says, that France should debase her silver currency in the manner adopted by the United States three or four years back, it would certainly relieve her for the moment, and cause the drain to be thrown exclusively on those countries which still retained silver as a legal tender ; but these countries would soon be driven to a similar course, and then, whin all Europe had adopted the same system, the demand would again have to be supplied by each country in its relative propor tion. It is admitted that if the debasement adopted should be 10 or even 20 per cent. the price of silver must rise to that extent before the new coinage can be drawn away ; but this advance would, of course, be witnessed if the supply from other sources continued inadequate. Thus far the matter seems indisputable. But the writer omits to notice-1, that a rise of 10 per cent. in the value of silver would greatly stimulate the production from existing mines, while it would also lead to increased economy in the use of the metal ; 2, that under this advance in price a given amount would perform greater functions,—that is to say, 901. in silver would answer the purposes for which 1001. had previously been required ; and, 3, that from the constant operation of these influences there would be a probability that the Chinese, at all events, might be led at last to receive a greater pro portion of gold. It is also to be recognised that by a measure which would raise the value of silver 10 per cent. each country would secure the amount they hold from being drained from them at a less adequate price. An assertion in the following letter that this advantage would be neutralised by a corresponding rise in the goods of the Indian producer is erroneous. The price of those goods, like price of silver, depends upon the supply, and no enhancement in silver through sudden. scarcity could involve a relative enhancement in the otbe: commodities. If India were to endeavour to raise her prices she would at once be put out of the mar ket by competing countries. Under these circum stances it will still be seen that a depreciation of coinage is the true remedy for the inconvenience now threatened. If the movement continues at its present rate the depreciation will undoubtedly have to be repeated at certain intervals. Although 10 per cent. might be sufficient new, 20 or 30 per cent. may be necessary a few years hence. Thus the time may not be far distant when England will be compelled to resort to a new silver coinage of loss intrinsic value than at present in circulation. This was originally issued at a debasement of about 10 ' per cent., but the difference is now little more than 5 per cent., and a further advance of 3d. or 4(1. per ounce in the value of silver would immediately lead to its exportation : " I have read withgreat interest your remarks in your money articles of the 18th and 19th inst. on the move merit of gold and silver, and assent fully to your con clusions as to the future, particularly those of the 19th in ,tant. " With regard, however, to the drain of silver, and the suggestion of a depreciated coinage as the remedy, I would a-k—How could the coinage of a debased silver currency overcome the difficulty t Silver is now drawn from the continent to be sent to Asia in liquidation of the balance of trade in favour of that continent, because Asia will take nothing else from us for it. Would the emission of a debased silver currency on the continent prevent an adverse balance of trade with Asia, or make her take anything else than silver from us in Heist dation of it I Remember that Asia receives from the rest of the world an amount of silver sufficient to liquidate (at the Aslieic evaluation of the silver, net at its Europern valuation) the present balance of trade in ber favour. England, being the agent for the rest of the world to Ii quidate the balance, now absorbs all the silver as fast as it is extracted from the earth (as this is the market where silver bullbm is at the highest price); and, as the amount at present extracted from the earth is not sufficient to li vidate the balance of trade with Asia, Englandisforced t.) procure coined silver from those countries where it exists as currency. If France should debase her silver currency it would result in a profit to the French Go vsrnrnent ef the difference in the value of the old and new currency, less the expense of re coinage (no trifling affair), and we should then haveadebased silver currency in the three greatest commercial nations of the world—Great Britain, France, and the United Ste es —adopted solely with a view to prevent its exportation. But, as this debasement of the silver currency would neither prevent nor liquidate an adverse balance of trade with Asia, silver would still have to be purchased on the continent of Europe, where it alone exists to any extent. At first, immediately after the debasement of the s her currency in France, it would be drawn at gr&dual:y in creasing rater of premium from Holland, Prussia, and other States that as yet had not debased their silver cur rency, but the drain on them would soon be so severely felt that they would also be forced to debase it by adopt. in tie same standard as France. When all Eutei can nations shall have gone through this state of transition will they have gained anything ? Will it not simply re. cult in a legal alteration of the relative value of gold and silver,—an alteration unnecessary, and no way prevent ing or dimki-bing the shipment of silver to Asia ? The alteration io the relative value of gold and silver by add ing 10 per cent, to the legal value of the latter metal would increase the cost of all commodities imported from Asia in exchange for silver 10 per cent., which would, at the expense of the people, balance the profit made by the Government on the re-coinage of the silver cur rency ; but there would then still remain the expense of re-coinage, which would be a loss without the slightest compensation. " All the prevailing errors in regard to gold and silver arise from confusing the two entirely different uses to which we apply these metals—viz., coin and articles of luxury and ornament. Gold and silver when used in the manufacturing of articles of luxury or ornament are com modities, or, in other words, capital ; but when used as coin they are not commodities, i.e. capital, but the repre sentatives of capital or commodities. This you clearly show in your money article of the 19th inst., and yon are perfectly correct in stating that the increase of the pro. duction of gold (as far as used as coin) is no increase of wealth ; it is simply an increase of the representative of wealth ; and this increase of the representative without a corresponding increase of commodities or wealth itself only diminishes the exchangeable value of the represen tatives, gold and silver. "The only remedy for the present drain of silver to Asia would be either to have gold legalised as coin i❑ Asia ; or, if this be impossible, to allow the siver to go to Asia to any extent, and replace it when necessary by coin of similar value composed of gold and some suitable alloy, so as to have coins of small value with which to make small purchases, without reducing their size to an inconvenient point, as would be the case were we to at tempt to coi❑ pieces of small value in a metal as valu able as gold. Eeither of these remedies can be easily adopted without the slightest injury to any existing or future interests. ~ C. M." THE MILITARY MAI\CEUVRE AT ALBUERA. We (Times) published yesterday a letter from Sir John Scott Lillie upon the subject of Lord. Hardingo's share in the glorious victory of Albuera. In recapitulating, upon the previous day, the va rious services performed by Lord Hardinge in the course of his military career, wo mentioned, upon the authority of Sir Wm. Napier, " that the for tune of the day (at Albuera) was turned by a happy manoeuvre executed by young Hardinge." The phrase given in inverted commas is our own. Our readers must judge for themselves how far it is borne out by the statement of Sir William Napier. In his History of the Peninsular War, written by the gallant General, which has now taken its place among the classical works in the language, we find that Sir William writes as follows, after be had described the terrible straits to which the British force was driven when the French under Soult had succeeded in establishing themselves on the hill : " Destruction stared him (Beresford) in the face ; his personal resources were exhausted, and the unhappy thought of a retreat rose in his agitated mind. He had before brought Hamilton's Portuguese into a situation to cover a retrograde movement ; he now sent orders to General Alten to abandon the bridge and village of Al buera, and to assemble with the Portuguese Artillery in such a position to cover a retreat by the Valverde road. But, while the Commander was thus preparing to resign the contest, Colonel Hardinge, using bis name, ordered General Cole to advance with the Fourth Division ; and then riding to the third brigade of the Second Division, which, under the command of Colonel Abercrombie, had hitherto been only slightly engaged, directed him also to push forward into the fight. The die was then cast, and Beresford acquiesced. Alten received orders to re-take the village, and the terrible battle was continued." The passage is to be found in the 3d volume of Napier's Peninsular War, page 545, edition of 1840. Sir John Lillie's counter-statement is as follows "It was Sir Lowry Cole who took upon himself the responsibility of executing the movement in question, in the absence of any orders from Marshal Beresford, who commanded the allied forces on that occasion, to whom Sir Lowry Cole sent an aide-de-camp for permission to make the movement ; but this aide-de-camp having been severely wounded, and not having returned, Sir Lowry took the responsibility of making it upon himself, in the manner so brilliantly described in your quotation from Napier's History." This is the state of the controversy, from which we now retire, for the question of fact is one which must be settled between Sir William Napier and Sir John Lillie. The readers of the Times will, however, we hope, exonerate us from the imputa tion of risking rash, unadvised statements, which may detract from the fame of the glorious dead. Sir William Napier is a mau of far too chivalrous and generous a character to publish any statement which might affect the reputation of a brother officer which he did not conscientiously believe to be correct. Sir John Lillie, again, was one of the most distinguished officers in the Peninsular War —a man whose name is illustrated by a bead-roll of the most splendid services. He would no more utter, unadvisedly, any remarks prejudicial to the memory of Lord Hardinge without overpowering necessity than Sir William Napier would seek to detract from the reputation of Sir Lowry Cole. Wherever the mistake may lie, it is not with us. We can but tell the tale as we received it from our forefathers, and certainly the general impression hitherto has been that the Battle of Albuera was won by the daring, but unauthorised, manoeuvre of Colonel Hardinge. THE MONEY MARKET. ( From the Times City Article.) The step taken by the Bank of France yesterday should be regarded with great satisfaction. In the present state of financial knowledge it has been painful to contemplate the futile attempts prac tised for months past to arrest a condition of affairs for which nothing but a rise in the rate of discount could be effectual, and which was becoming more intractable with every day of delay. Although the measure, if it has been resorted to, as is most probably the case, to check the displacement of silver by gold, must fail in its ostensible object, its salutary tendency to meet the real evil under which the country is labouring cannot be questioned. It is the loss of the silk crop, together with other ac cidents, and the consequent adverse balance she is called to meet in specie, to which her existing posi tion is to be attributed ; and the inconvenience caused by the withrawal of the silver currency, notwithstanding the degree in which it has aggra vated the panic, is an entirely separate matter, for which a separate remedy will ultimately have to be provided. By putting a stop to all extension of the speculative schemes which it was last year the effort of the Government to encourage, and by lowering prices and thus stimulating ex portations, the action now resolved upon will operate as a first impulse towards the recovery of a sound condition. Whether it will prove sufficient is a point that must for some little time remain in suspense. It is to be hoped, how ever, if perseverance should be found necessary there will be no further flinching, and that we may now expect to see an end of those empirical pro ceedings which have so long excited remark, and which, after throwing everything into confusion, have resulted, as it was predicted they would, in creating a state of distrust far greater than could have been occasioned by any measures of whole some rigour at the commencement. A rumour prevailed yesterday that the French Government are about to prohibit the exportation of silver, but few persons were disposed to believe that the idea of an aot which must prove so entirely abortive can even have been entertained. It would at once open up a smuggling trade, organized in a way to increase the rapidity of the drain. It is assumed that the rise in the French rate of discount will certainly be followed next Thursday by an advance on the part of the Bank of England from 41 to 5 per cent. at least. As far as the com mercial position of the country is concerned no such movement would be necessary, but if it were not adopted a large amount of capital would at once be sent to Paris on loan, and we should thus be ex posed temporarily to a considerable pressure. The agitation on the Continent and thelrandom movements in specie and exchange consequent upon it are such as to preclude for the moment any kind of calculation. It appears that, although silver has lately been drained to _Loudon from every part of the Continent, nearly 100,0001. was purchased to day for transmission to Hamburg, telegraphic in telligence having been received from that city that the r tte of discount has advanced to .9 per cent. The sudden alteration in the various money markets in Europe will exercise an adverse influence on the results of the speculative shipments of silver to China to be made by the next mail. In the silk-market to day it caused a fall of 24. to 3s. in the Bengal and is. to ls. 61 in the China descrip Lions.

THE SOUIiCeS OF THE NILE. The expedition to discover the sources of the Nile, which the Viceroy in Egypt has initiated, and which has occupied, fur the past six months, the attention of the learned of Europe, after delays inevitable to the development of such matters, has started. The Count d'Escayrac de l'Auture, to whom the com mand has been entrusted, after having obtained, on the 20th of last July, the Viceroy's approbation of the plan, came to Europe to procure the neces sary adjuncts for the execution of his enterprise. Authorised to select twelve assistants, he sought in Austria officers of topographical celebrity ; in Prussia, a well-informed engineer ; in France, naturalists ; in England, nautical assistance ; and America has furnished him with an excellent photographer, so necessary on such an explora tion . He has selected in London, Paris, Berlin, and Vienna the necessary instruments for observa tions of the greatest variety, and nothing has been neglected that could in any possibility interest the scientific world. Magnetic observations will not be neglected ; the infusoria invisible to the eye will be studied according to the custom of the most perfect naturalists ; geography will rest on astronomical observations ; ethnography, so full of interest in that part of the world, will be the ob ject of the constant attention and particular efforts of men whose knowledge has been already proved; photography will lend to science the most valuable assistance ; it will thus bring before the eyes of learned men a new world, and the people of Europe will see all the expedition has encountered of the interesting and remarkable. This expedition, which has for its aim the discovery of portions of Africa where the foot of the white man has never trod, promises to make us better acquainted with these unknown countries than we are even with some parts of Europe. The expenses of the expedition will be consider able, as the Viceroy has provided it with everything that can forward its success ; and a sufficient escort will protect these missionaries of civilisation during their perilous expedition. Nu merous boats with steamers will transport them up the Nile, as far as the last point where this river is navigable. The expedition has everything in its favour, in the great experience of its commander and the generous ardour of those who take part in it. The Count d'Escayrac does not deceive himself as to the difficulties which attend him ; but what ever obstacles he may encounter he is prepared to meet and to conquer. Thus the problem of the sources of the Nile is near its solution, and the inte riorof Africa will be probably opened to science, at the same time that the Red Sea, through the Isthmus of Suez, may possibly be opened to the commerce of all people. These two great undertakings will have been the work of one prince, whose name will be carried down to the most distant posterity. En lightened Europe regards with interest the course of this expedition, and the Emperor Napoleon has given a mark of his approbation in naming the Count d'Escayrac an officer of the Legion of Honour. The count started on the 3d of this moith for Trieste, which he was to leave on the 18th ; his companions will join him at Cairo in the beginning of October, and the expedition will then begin to ascend the Nile. We shall expect its re turn in two years, which will prove a great event in the scientific world ; for whatever happens, the prolonged stay of twelve learned Europeans in the most unknown part of the world cannot fail to create great interest. We give the names of those engaged in this expedition : Le Comte d'Escayrac de l'Auture, commander of the expedition ; M. Aubaret, a lieutenant in the French navy and a chevalier of the Legion of Honour ; M. Mayer, mining engineer, of Branden burgh, Prussia ; M. Richard, doctor of medicine and surgery, of Paris ; M. Boleslawsky, lieutenant of the Ist Pionniers of Metrovitz, an Austrian, attaché to the Imperial and Royal Institute of Military Geography ; M. Della Sala Count Kinsky, of Milan, lieutenant in the 47th Infantry, attaché to the Imperial and Royal Institute of Military Geography ; M. Geng, assistant topographer, of Vienna, an attache to the Imperial and Royal In stitu:e of Military Geography ; M. Pouchet, licencie en sciences, of Rouen, France ; Mr. Anthony W. Twyford, of London, late an officer in the British transport service ; M. de Bai, draughtsman, of . Montreuil-sur-Mer, France ; Mr. Clagne, of New Orlean photographer; M. Tabonelle, of Olbceuf, France ; and M. Bonnefong, also of France. Now that Captain Richard Burton, so celebrated for his daring visit to Mecca and Medinah, and his penetration to the city of Harar, in Abyssinia, is about to start under tho direction of the Royal Geographical Society of London, for East Africa, for the purpose of penetrating to Lake Unia,mesi, and, if possible, to the sources of the Nile, it is greatly to be hoped that the Foreign Office may direct Dr. Vogel to turn his steps south-eastwards from. Lake Chad, with the same objects in vie w. AIVOMALIRS IN THE ENGLISH CHARACTER. (From the Times.) There is hardly any amount of wrong or of an noyance which the Englishman is not prepared to endure or inflict, as the case may happen to be. Of the two he prefers to inflict it, but he also en dures it very kindly. When he is once in harness, well strapped up, and his head as it ought to be, he is as patient as a cab horse. The fact is, we are of a mulish breed, half Norman, half Saxon, and, as an Irishman would add, with several more halves from other races. The spirit of our nume rous fathers is still in us, and sometimes it is a very noble, sometimes a very donkeyiih one. While wo pride ourselves on a dozen self-emancipa lions, we tolerate an amount of inconvenience and worse in our public institutions, in the condition of our towns, and in our domestic habits, that would drive a Frenchman to insurrection and a 1 German to madness. The truth is, that under the flattering conviction Vis i t we have a voice in making the laws we put ourselves in two positions at once, or, rather, we are continually performing Oat feat of ventriloquism which consists iu one man talking as if it were two or three dozen voices. This reconciles us to the worst evils, for A: we suffer them we have the consolation that we also help to inflict them. Wo have no pass ports ; we don't pay a quarter of a farthing for every half-dozen cabbages brought into our towns; our market-gardeners and our hay and corn-chand lers do not stop for 20 minutes outside our towns to have their innocent loads stabbed and perfo rated, pummelled, ripped open, and gutted. We have not the mairie and the prefecture, the douane and the octroi, intruding into every stage of our existence. On the other band, few and favoured are the localities where one can ride or drive five miles without being stopped by a privileged fcotpad and asked for lid. or 4id., or some other odd sum. The Welsh Celt fairly re belled against the nuisance a few years ago ; but the English Saxon grumbles, stops his horse, pulls off his glove, unbuttons his great-coat, fumbles in his pocket, draws out his purse, asks for change, pays, and drives off with a ticket he does not know what to do with. Then as to rates and taxes, not one householder in a hundred knows or has the 'beaus of knowing whether ho is cheated or not. He pays, and pays, till he can pay no longer, and beats a retreat, by going to a cheaper house or re ducing his establishment. We are rather proud, indeed, of what we pay and suffer, as long as we are able. The reduced gentlewoman remembers with complacency that she paid rates and taxes 30 years ago in Marylebone parish, and knows the figure to a a filling. It is a pardonable vanity in that sex, bir. the other ought to look a little more i; t these matters. But what a power of patience, what a strong traiition of Caxonism, what a preponderance of the asinine parentage there must be in the honest drudges of Manchester, to have stood for these 20(i years to be fleeced by the Corporation of Liverpool ! When Mr. Fox was addressing his Lancashire friends the other day he spoke stron g ly indeed on this point, but he hardly gave it the importance and the precedence it deserves. Indeed it should almost stop the mouth of any agitator from the banks of the Irwell, or any district drawing its supplies from the Mersey. There is no tax under the sun, and no application of a tax, not oven a grant for an Australian bishopric, to compare with the enor mity of the Manchester people, with so many calls for money in their own h uge c ity, pay i ng ma ny thousands a-year for the decoration of Liverpool. What can they be made of ? No wonder that with such excellent home diseip- Ene they have till lately proved such patient tri butaries to he Imperial Treasury. The bread-tax, the cotton • wool tax, the geese tax, the foreign pork tax, and all the rest of them, aimed, as everybody knows at the manufacturing districts, certainly did strike one sometimes as more than an enterprising, hard-working, hungry Englishman could be ex pected to bear. But the bearers, in the chief re gion of these people, had been well trained in their youth in what might be called their home educa tion. As Mr. Fox observes, the British people collectively cut off Charles I.'s head because he wanted to tax them without their consent ; but BANKRUPTS.

All England went first to the wickets, and. Caesar male a good stand for 20. Ander son's was a splendid innings, his 57 being well obtained. H. Hirst, E.g., also played well, and so did J. Morton. The innings amounted to 149. The fielding of the Twen ty-Two was very praiseworthy. The first innings of Stockton only reached 53, of which Mr. T. Darnton scored 19 in an able manner, the others being all small figures. Being 96 in a minority they followed their in nings for the runs, which, however, they did not obtain, their second hands amounting to 94, which left All England victorious in one innings, with two runs over. THE ELEVEN OF ALL ENGLAND v. TWENTY-TWO OF LEEDS. After the conclusion of the preceding match the All England Eleven proceeded to Leeds, and on Thursday the play commenced against twenty-two of that place, and the result of the day's play was—All England, 83 ; Leeds, 35 ; with six wickets down.

This great metropolitan amateur club , which now numbers somethinz like 200 members, intends winding up its season on Tuesday next (the 30th) with a four oared race, for which five boats are entered. The race will be rowed at half-past 5 in the evening down from Hammersmith to Putney, where the gentle men belonging to the club will dine at half past 6 at 1 .11r3. Heath's, the Star and Garter. The prizes are handsome drinking-cup., and we have no hesitation in saying that, from the excellent arrangement of the crews, there will be a smart contest for them. The rowing season of the club will conclude with this race, and the members will remove from headquarters at Putney to town, where monthly meetings will be held during the winter.
