Englishmen have frequently wondered at the extraordinary influence exercised by the pro slavery party in the United States. They can not understand how a small and insignificant minority could control and ride roughshod over a majority seventy times their number—how 300,00$ 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. Wo 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 un 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, clearly does not apply to the Southern States of Arserica. There he may be tarred and feathered, imprisoned, banished, stabbed, shot, or hanged, without the slightest chance of redress being 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 perm it their Commissioner, Mr. Amos B. Co n . wurg, to sugg est the occupation of the enti re a in violation of a sol emn Isthmus of Panam treaty, because he alleges that the New Granada g overnmen t 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 sight of their New Granada brethren ? 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 eas t, a anentirely new light on the subject. From credible and trustworthy wit ness, who has himself behelden the transactions he so clearly narrates, we reiv e an accou nt of the existing sta te of affai rs in that u n f or t una te dis trict. There i s a verisimil itude about th e narra tive of Mr. GLADSTONE that induces u s to lend an .asy creden ce to his statements. The most vivid imagination could scarcely conceive anything like the unmitigated ruffian described a s of the most respectele merchants in Weston, wh o, r as was svident, did not deny himself in the rum punch, gin-sling, brandy cocktails, and other compounds , : issued at the bar !" That highly-respectable indi- : vidual (!), with the head of a pistol protruding from one pocket, and brandishing another loaded ' and ready for action, with threatening aspect and attitude, occupied himself in fulminating the most sanguinary 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 be knew what he was about, that's what rd do. I'm a ce-urious customer, I am 1" 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 rounded 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 inflaming each other to fresh acts of atrocity ! Such were the men described by the pro-slavery journals, as " the friends of law and order." ! 1 ! 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 quasi 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 vo,erchent" 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 continue 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 " the friends of law and order Or to their senses, and 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 found 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 n of their intern. pence. 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 bo the People's friends, from thiii 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, pot wallopers, 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 i❑ force the People's behests. Instead of which, what were the results o Tory borough-mongering received a severe blow ; big 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 ing, 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 ail. The People, believing in the sham, cried out for further reforms. Such as eould 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 1)y 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, in 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 was a Tory Ministry came into power, and the people got more of what they wanted from their old antagonists than they did from their friends. PEEL obliterated the Corn Laws from the statute-book, gave us Free Trade immense boons—and the everlasting Whigs were called on again. DISRAELI followed, and perished in the pangs of parturition. The Whigs struck up an alliance with the supple ABERDEEN -and between 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. Th e thought of calling in a Ministry of the represen tatives of the People was never suffered to dwell in the Royal brain. 08 ice was made by the Reform Bill, and the pre( doi is Reform Bill kept it perpetually within the sir grasp. They gave titles, they dealt in r trovaises, they taxed the people, they led the House of Commons by the nose. One p Dpular 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 wan ted a Government lift of some sort. Every Meint er's besetting sin was studied—every member's wi sh had but to be ex pressed, sooner or later, t 3 be gratified. The country might go to the dog '3 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 raore infamous, hardly anything more disereditahle to the govern ing power, than the mismanagement of the Russian War, and its conclusion by the " Precious Peace," Whiggism never showed itself so presumptuolus and so deplorably effete. We should have to go far back, indeed, to discover when the country was so stultified, had its interesis so neglected, and its dignity so seriously lowered. "I am the State," said the vainglorious Louis. "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 people 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 69th 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 Preston 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 g ,....- ment. On assuming dice under the Govern ment he withdrew from political life, and directed his attention entirely to the public service. Mr. Wood was son 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 passiag 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 lion. Mary Seymour w?s 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 non. Edward Twisleton, the Dean of Wells', Sir John Aardry, and the secretaries. Despatches were sent yesterday from the CJlonia Office to the Governors 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 pa3sage 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 Tharnep, having 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 llighuesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary are expected to arrive today 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 We announced yesterday the probability of Captain Hackett declining to accept the vacancy at Greenwich Hospital, caused by the lamented death of Captain ISlonbray. We have now to state that Sir C. Wood has bestowed the office on Capt. W. A. Willis (1844), who entered the navy Aug. 24, 1811, and obtained his first commission July 17, 1824. 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 Dogberry. The house was very fully and fashionably attended. TRH NEW CONVICT PRISON AT CRATELI3I.-0a Wed• 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- g overnor of the establishment. There are at present about 300 cmvicts at Chatham, who for merly occupied the Warrior hulk. The pri s oners now on board the Defence hulk will be removed to Chatham on the 16th inst., and after they 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 finished 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 foundation of the large steam basin to be constructed at Chatham Dockyard.—Tfmo, THE SUN, LO7l's D:ON, SATURDAY EVENING, OC OBER 11, 18 LATEST NEWS THE OVERLAND MAIL. " TRIESTE, OCT. 10. The steamer Australia arrived here to-day, 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. Loan for an unlimited amount, which had disturbed the money-market. Bombay exchange was 2s. 11d. Two steamers have been suddenly ordered from Calcutta to the Persian Gulf. Calcutta exchange steady at 2s. 11d. At . Melbourne wet weather had caused a temporary depression is trade, and there was a decrease in the gold production ; but there were signs of a revival, and commerce was sound. PARIS, SATVRDAY MORNING. The rumour is confirmed that Rassia has de manded the convocaticn 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 ii felt for the tranquillity of Syria. The Gladiator has sailed hence for Naples. COPENHAGEN, FRIDAY. The Faederlandet newspaper announces that the question of the Sound dues is settled, Eng land and Denmark having come to an agreement. The land transit duty is to be reduced. The Ministerial crisis continues at its height. Zs 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 (third edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says : " 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 Sing Ferdinand any concessions. *iis, 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, 66 France will do nothing, and England will help her." I cannot bAii.vo that this Assertion will prove corr.:hob. A despatch froin 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 Sicilies ; 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 cruelty and acknowledge their right to be ruled as if they were human beings, aid 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 (second 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 kith, have, however, been received, and they speak of the continued " excitement" &Tong the population, and the difficulty of coming to any conclusion as to the conduct of the Allies, though it is hardly credited that all the threatened demonstrations will end is nothing. With respect to the Emperor Napo leon, it is surmised at Naples that ho 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 ail t s a e , e , r e et o s f of th eothf faults u r ts men's an d mfoilnlides:ofanadll taking , so that advan wwohrelnd tbhye Surprise, hour e has s s arrivedeve rdone The Oesterreichisehe Zeituny has a letter of the 29th of Septembor from Cattaro o in which it i said that the Montengrin question "is as good as settled." Prince Daniel will no t refuse to ac knowledge the suzer ainte of the Porte if his terri tory is enlarged ; but the sequel will probably show that the Montenegrins are imitating their friends the Russians, and bamboozling the Allies. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The llioniteur of to-day states that the return of the yield of taxes, and indirect revenues, for the month of Sept, chow au increase of 16,199,000 f. as compared with 1854, and of 14,500,000 f. as compared with 1855, instead of an increase of 1 2,000,000 f. as had been estimated in M.

VIENNA, October 7. —According to some of the French and German papers, the Paris Conferences are to recommence on the 15th of October, but the assurance has been given me that such will not be the case. Before the me mbers of the Conferenc e separated i n th e mon th of April last, they agreed that all matters of detail should be settled in Paris by the resident representatives of the Powers who were parties to the treaty of peace, and 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 evident that the Austrian diplomatist is in no hurry to get back to Paris, for he purposes going in a few days to Itehl to pay his respects to their Majesties, and 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 at Dresden a fortnight hence it is probable that be will be at his post on or about the 23d er 24th of this month. In a former letter it %vas hinted that the relations between Austria 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 Btb 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 what will be the measures adopted by Government in the event of the arrival of the allied fleeis. The Director of the Interior and Police, well knowing what the public spirits is, has informed his supe riors that, with the police force only, it would be impossible for him to suppress the manifestations of popular joy. 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 Gen. Lanza, who participated with Gen. Filangieri in the reduction of Sicily, in the repression of the in surrection of Calabria in 1848, and in the campaign in the Roman States against Garibaldi. These facts will describe the new Governor. The Government therefore fears the enthusiasm of the people, and the manifestation of their true sentiments and desires on the return to a legal system of Government, which in fact, and not by right, has been destroyed. Should, therefore, all such manifestations he 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 Gortschakoff's circular, our cabin et— I have the intelligence from an indisputable source —sent to Paris a note couched in much more Ener getic terms than any previous communication. 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. lam 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 Gortschakofl', 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 t o a b s t a i n f rom a ll 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, ar r i ve d this evening at seven o'clock. The Tyne brings mails from Buenos Ayres, Sept. 9 ; Monte Video, 4th ; Rio do Janeiro , 14 th ; Bahia, 18th ; Pernambuco, 20th; St, Vincent, 28th; Teneriffe, Oct. 2; Madeira, 4th; Lisbon, 7th. The Tyne brings specie and jewels to the amount of 30,000/., and on freight 270 barrels of ta p ioca, 20 serous of ipecacuanha, 200 bags cocoa, 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 throiged with people. The Emperor went 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 640. 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 Boaumanoir, 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 creation of ten millions of public funds had been sanctioned by the Chamber of Represent a ti ves, 4 had not been taken into consideration by the Senate, and its fate there was considered pro blematical. COMMERCIAL. BUENOS AYR ES, AUG. 30. Importations have been very moderate, and the com plaints of bad assortments are louder and louder. For articles in demand there is a tendency:to improve ment in prices ; and most look f orward w i th some confidence 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 fate of the crops in Brazil is certainly known. The consumption is immense, and it is hardly possible to overstock the war ket. Spanish wine, th;mgh ahrndant, continues firm, and being also an article. of immense cor-umptton, a very short term is required to restore the equilibrium of the market. Gin is in good demand, and may be considered a safe arti c l e of investment. Export Produce.—Under this bead we have no im portant variation to note since our last. PERNAMBUCO, SEPT. 17.

ManuFactured Goods—The only arrival has been 255 pkgs. per Raoul, from Havre, which being damaged by salt water are selling by public auction. The demand in general is very limited. RIO DE JANEIRO, SEPT. 12.

Exchange—Bills to a moderate amount have been passed upon London at 271 to at 90 days ; upon France at 352 to 350 for direct, at 348 indirect ; upon Hamburg, at 657. The amount negotiated for this conveyance may be estimated at 1,375,000 f., principally at 271, upon Lon don ; at 1,300,000 f., principally at 348 for indirect, and at 350 to 353 for direct bills upon France, &c., at m. b. 1,210,000 upon Hamburg, generally at 657. CANADA. ARRIVAL OF THE CANADIAN. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY. The Mon treal Company's screw steamer Canadian, 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 Whets 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. The following is a comparative statement of arrivals and tonnage at Quebec in the years 1855 and 1856, to the 26th of September : Vessels. Tons. 1855 1856 More this year... 262 THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. We have received files of papers from Cape Town to the 2d Aug. inclusive. We take the fol lowing from the Cape Town 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 alluding to any such alarm. There must, therefore, have been a mistake somewhere. The rumour, probably originated in some cAlidons 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 se3led, and which it was feared at one time might lead to something more serious between the State and the powerful Chief of the Basutus, Moshesh. Peace between those two partiei is the paramount interest of both. Of this, we have no doubt, both 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 grminds of dissatisfaction re specting boundaries which the British authorities left undetermined when her Majesty's authority was withdrawn from that quarter. There can be 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 N e th er l a nds. This would he the safest and cheapest course, provided both parties bind themselves to abide by the award. A war between them at present wou!d be most destructive, e, and could only end in the total ruin of one of the parties, by no means to the advantage of either."

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 Eakevvell Far mers' Club," the hon. gentleman expressed his pleasure at the excellent exhibition of stock, and proceeded to say that last year he had introduced to the notice of the secretary of the club a cheesemaking machine, believing, as there were many dairy farhissn the district, it might prove very advantageous. At suggestion it was placed in the hands of the largest cheesemaker in the neigh bourhood, and had been found to save a great deal of la bour, and 14 per cent. of material. He would recom mend the club to adopt that experimental system with re gard to every new machine which they thought it desirable 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 criticised the sentiment recently propounded at an agricultural meeting by Sir James Graham with respect to the untoward influence which freedom in Russia might exert on the condition of the English agriculturist. Sir James Graham must have let such a doctrine slip in an unguarded moment, for, in trulk, whenever countries became free they ceased to be competitors with England in corn. Last week, for instance, we had 16,000 qrs. 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, manufacture; and other commercial pursuits would flourish more and agriculture less. Having spoken in favour of a system of agricultural statistics, he re marked that, as far as he could gather from conversations with many farmers in that part of the country, they were desir ous that any measure connected with Agricul tural statistics should be carried out on some principle, and that they should not be burdened with an expensive machinery for its execution. "Hit 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 of large towns, advocating its i application to h agricultural p urposes, an d concluded address amid loud ap p l ause. The Hon. G. 11 • Cavendish, and other gentlemen, having acknowledged the toast, and Borne other toasts having been proposed, the Proceedings terminated. SUSSEX AGRIVULTURAL REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER.` During the latter part of the month a great deal of rain fell, and s o m e of the late oats and beans were much injured by the wet. The crop of cloverseed will be very indifferent, and the quality must be bad, as there has not been sufficient sun to ripen it. Some of the fellows intended for wheat are in a very unsatisfact,ny state, and there is now no chance of cleaning them, and there has been but little opportunity for the autum n clearing o f the he c stubbleis The potato di sease has much increased, Ail green crops have trop qui te a failure throughout th e aunty. wond er f u ll y and imroved.

The wheat market has been gradually creeping up, and we think, in all probability, it will yet be higher.

Tat CPLOPS IN NORTHUMBERLAND.—NEWCASTLE' UPON-TYNE, Thursday Night. —We have had two charming autumnal days, u ith a prospect of continued l i ne weather. Farmers arc busy in every part of this county where wheat is ont, drying 2nd carting what is in F:t ck s, and cutting down the standing corn. Six or flight days more of fine weather would complete the bar vest. Tbere is no quastion that what is now being gathered is a good deal damaged by the late storms, but there is every prospect that it will be got into the stack yard in a better condition than might have been con templatA some four or five days ago. If many of the farmers bad not adopted that system of economy known as " saving at the tap and losing at the bunghole" many fine crops m i ght have been secured iu 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 1 rickyards of their neighbours, who have pursued 11, sounder and more liberal policy, well stored With the t well - harvested fruits of their industry and forethought.
