By the United Ststes' mail steamer Hermann, Captain Higgins, which arrived off Cowes this af ternoon en route to Bremen, we have dates from New York to the 61h inst. The _Hermann brings about 80 passengers, a small quantity of specie, and usual cargo. The news from Kansas is still interesting. The pro-slavery forces had succeeded in turtung the tables on their Free-State oppments, and much blood had been spilt and properly destroyed, if the reports that have reached are reliab'e. At Ossawa t)m e, on the 30 h ult., the belligeiente, to the nuinter of 30J on each side, fought for an hour, when the Free-Sta-e n "ere routed, with a loqs of 2j killed and sever 1 wounded. Mr. Brown, the leader of the defeated party, and his son, are re ported among the killed. On the 21 inst. the pro slavery men attacked the Free-soilers in Leaven rth,drove every one of hem out of the town at the point of the bayonet, Pnd deAroyed or confiscated their property. It is also stated that parties of Missourians have possession of the Io va road, thu s cutting off the retreat of h Free-State men. Tae New York journals publish the substance of the c'Jrrespoudenee which has pissed between the au thorities of Kansa and Ihe general Govc-rnme t with reference to the trimbles iu the territory, to gether with infernal ins :0 Colonel Geary, the newly-appointed Governor, who was at St. Louis on the 4th inst. on his w-ty to the scene of the dis turbance, to enrol and organise the of the territory, the force i,l iegut,tr troops being inade quate. One division under General Richardson, was already in the field. Requisitions had also been made upon the Governors of Kentucky and Illinois for two regiments of infantry, tin be paced under the orders of Gen. Smith. to aid in suppressing insurre,Aioniiry corn( ina - ions against the constituted Governm nt o' Kan as. I istruc tions had also been issued to avoid ; , s much as pos sible any appeal to arm-, but, s Would a real neces sity for the employment of torce . arise, to employ it with all vigour until the insurrection be su ppressed. Private advicea from Kansts state that on the 2d inst. every Free-Sate man was driven from Leavenworth at the point of the bayonet and all their property destroyed or confiscated. Mr. Phil lips, the correspondent of the Arcav York Tribune, and his brother were killed. The house of the former and the store of the latter were burnt. It is said that Mr. Pl.illips fired from his house and killed two pro-slavery men. Yellow fever continued to decline in New York, and the journals report very favourably of the condition of the public health. Intelligence is received from Honduras. The datt•s are °nava, July 30, and Truxillo, August 12. The inauguration of Walker's Administration in Nicaragua had excited much uneasiness, and Hon duras was busily engaged in raising tr oo p s t o j o i n the league formed, by Guatemala, Costa Rica, and San Sat vacior against him. All Americans were suspected, and a decide bad been issued ordering none of them to land in the republic. The United States' consul had protested against the execution of this decree and forwarded copies of the paper to the Cabinet in Wallington. N ew go ld placers had been opened wcst of Truxillo, and $2O per day were earned in them. An immense Republican, meeting bad been held at Rochester, at which about 30,000 pers us were present. A Democratic assembly at Cincinnati numbered 40,000. A grand Democratic ratifica tion meeting at Concord is estimated to have had about 30,000 people, with a procession two miles long, eight persons walking abreast. The steamship Daniel Webster, from New Orleans to New York, had encountered a hurri cane, which did considerable damage, and carried away the wheelhouses, compelling her to return to port. The Supreme Court at Albany had been sud denly adjourned. The judge stated that, in conse quence of the present constitution of the C our t i t seemed to him impossible that strict justice could be fairly administered. The decision caused great excitement amongst the lawyers. Tile Court would resume in October. At Charleston and Savannah considerable damage had been done to the r tilways by heavy rains. A North Carolina railroad bridge had given way, carrying down a locomotive and a portion of the train attached to it. Five persons, including the engineer and fireman, are reported to have been killed. The Emigration commissioners report that, during the week, 1,487 emigrants had arrived as New York, making 89,572 during tLo year. The debt of the Commission had decreased $21,795. In the New York money-market foreign ex changes were quiet. The stock-market had ad. vanced. The sales of cotton on the sth inst. reached about 1,500 bales, based upon middli ng uplands at about 11 p., and Now Or:eans ditto at 11c., th 9 market closing firm. Tho receipts of four were light, especially of good to exura brands of new state, and the stock in matk more reduced, while there was a good Ex tern and local demand. Prices advanced 100. per barrel, and in some cases 30c. Wheat was tirin for good to choice new, with sales of red at $1 50c. to $1 53c., and of white at $1 67c. to $1 63e. ; old was dull. Corn was firm, with sound mixed at 67c. to 68c. Pork was heavy, with sales of mess, in lots, at $l9 624 to $l9 75. Lard was arm, with sales on the dock at 134 e. Sugars sold, to the extent of about 1,200 hhds. Coffee was firm ; the sales embraced about 3,500 bags of native Ceylon, and about 2,000 to 2,200 ditto Rio, and 450 ditto Maracaibo. Freights were less active, and unchanged. A SLEEPY WIFE REBUKED.----A. minister of the "Kirk" of Scotland once discovered his wife asleep is the widst of his family on the Sabbath. So, pausing in the steady, and possibly somewhat rnonct mous flow of Ilia oratory, he broke forth with this personal ad. rse, pharp and clear, but very deliberate :—" Susan I" Susan opened her eyes and ears in a twinkling, as did all other dreamers in the house, whether asleep or awake. "Saran I I didna marry ye for your wealth, since ye hae'd . nane ; and I didna marry ye for your beauty— that the hal congregation eau see; and if ye have no grace I have made but a sair bargaiu."—Salad for the Social. HOSPITALS, more than any other buildings, demand the most careful arrangements—not merely for the am ple supply of air, ut ton ore that the air so supplied oe pure. So little has this been a . tended to in d a y s gone by that there are many hospitals in this 'coon• try where, as soon as the wards get full, fevers and other disorders appear, and it is difficult to effect a cure in many cases which, under other circumstances, would be overcome without difficulty. A. lealing E linburgh professor, in some recently-published.'` br e ., zuoirs," says —" I have often stated and taugl t that, if our present medical, surgical, and obstetric 1 o.pitals were (iwa ed, from being crowded palaces with a layer of sick in each fiat, into villages or cottages with one, or at most two patients in each room, a g rea t saving of human life would be effected. And if the village wen constructed of iron (as is now sometimes done for ()tiler purposes), instead of brick or stone, it could be taken down and rebuilt every few years; a matter, apparently, of much moment in hospital hy g i ene .

Hospitals must still be erected, and we must take care that every avail able means be used to render them healthful and fit ter their purpose. Some of our military hospitals are disgraceful to the scientific character of the country, and it never fell to our lot to visit any in which there were not obvious errors that might havebeen avoided. With respect to the vital importance of fresh air for the maintenance of life, it would really seem as if the world were'not to be convinced on this head.— The Builder. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1856. THE INSURRECTION IN CHINA. The following intelligence is published by the Augsburg Gazette, from a correspondent at Hong Kong : The Court Herald of Pekin, a sort of Chinese Illonileur. of which the last mail has brought us a number of ex tracts, admits that of the eighteen provinces composing tilt proper empire of China, more than half are now scoured by bands of rebels. There are the provinces Kiangsi, Kiangsu, Nganhoey, Hupe, Hunan, Honan, Shantong, Ssetshuen, Kuangsi, Kuangtong, and Yunnan. The leaders of the rebellious troops, which amount to somewhere about 100,000 fighting-men, take different titles, but all pro claim their allegiance to Hienfong, the son of Heaven, and threaten to disperse to the four winds whatever forces the Mandshoos and the Mandarin pnrty may send against them by land or sea. How many of the insurgent troops roam about under one banner, and how many are at Nan kin acting in concert with the pacific dynasty of the " younger brother of Jesus Christ," cannot be positively as certained, although the sectarians at the Yang-tse-kiang are strictly distinguished in the official reports by their nick name of heretic-iebels (Kiao-fi) from the other mutineers, who destroy no idols, and who belong to one of the three recognised religions; which are the doctrine of Confucius, that of the Laotse, and that of Buddha ; and the former are also stated to be especially dangerous. In January of the present year (1856) we find from the reports published in the Court Herald, the main body of the rebels was still at Nankin, at Tchinkiang, and along the entire lower course of the Yang-tae-kiang. Their. left wing -extended beyond Vutshang (30 deg. 45 min. 30 sec. north, and 2 deg. 15 min. of Pekin), their right wiiig as far as Lntshao 131 deg. 56 min. 57 sec. north, and 0 deg. 46 min. 50 sec. east of Pekin) in the province of Nganhoey. Numerous other hordes, who appeared to have nothing in common with th, " younger brother of Jesus Christ," were roaming about in thenorthern parts of theproviuces Nganhoey and Kiangsu, and in the north-eastern valleys of Honan. They were committing frightful atrocities. The western province Ssetshuen suffered from the inroads of Thibetan tribes; the aborigines also, called Miaotse, had risen in large num bers, and called themselves, as a watchword of their insur rection, Mingshin, that is, people of the Ming dynasty. These aborigines of the central kingdom live, like the Chond in the Deccan, and the Carin in Birmah, on the out skirts of civilisation ; by which they are driven back into their wild mountainous retreats. We find them mentioned by name in the State register of the central kingdom ; and described therein with a particular account of their customs and habits, which are further illustrated by pictorial repre sentations. In the province of Ssetshuen there are 269 resident clans; in Kuangsi, 46; in Junnan, 50; and in Kueitsheoo, 81. A strong division of this interesting primitive population, which still perhaps lives as the in habitants of the central kingdom did before the times of Yao and Shun, has long been acting with the rulers of Nankin. The Court Herald distinguishes them likewise from the other Miaotse by the appellation of Kiacefi heretical rebels. Other insurgents and hordes of banditti infested the eastern provinces of Shantong and Honan ; even the province of Petshili, in which' Pekin is situate, was visited occasionally by armed bans, who stop ped and plundered the officials and professors on their way to court. At Yunnan, not far from the south-western frontier of the empire, the Hoei bad taken up arms, declar ing it was impossible to support any longer the oppression of the Mandarins. This lamentable state of things in the empire had become considerably worse in the course of the months of February, March, and April. The surging waves of revolution mounted higher and higher. "At the confines of the provinces of Honan and Nganhoei," so we translate a passage of the report sent in to the minister of secret police at Pekin, and which is printed in the Court Herald of April, 1856, "fresh bands of rebels have appeared. They received reinforcements from the south, particularly from the bands driven out of Kuangtong ; and hereupon they raised their peculiar banner, which displays five different colours, and their leaders pro claimed themselves to be kings (Wang), and instituted a kinder government. The imperial troops have repeatedly attacked these usurpers, and have been as often defeated. The authorities have been massacred and the people sub jected to every kind of atrocity. From Nganhoei in a westerly direction to Honan is a circuit of 6) geographical miles, these rebels lord it over the whole country. Every village has been reduced to ashes, and corpses lie scattered about in all directions. The recruiting officers of the in surgents traverse the land with their standards, and call the multitude to arms, so that the force of these rebels alone is now more than 100,000 strong. The troops placed under the orders of the provincial authorities can hardly amount to one-fifth of that force. Under such circum stances it is an easy thing for the insurgents to play the master everywhere. Unfortunately, also, the waters of the Yellow River have caused great damage, whereby many men have lost their homes and all the property they possessed. In utterdespair thesejoin the ranks of the rebels, and scour the country in every direction." There was a good deal of fighting in the neighbourhood of Nankin and Tchinkiang during the months of May and June. The Tai Ping remained victors, the Imperialists were compelled to raise the siege, and their enemies now make incursions as far as the district immediately round Shanghai. The sue- cess of the robber hordes and rebels was no less decisive Ln several of the eastern and western provinces, hut tha details of these engagements would lead us too far, and would be of little interest to the European reader. It important that the Mandshoos are now themselves con vinced of their inability to subdue these increasing forces of the rebels by means of the regular army. A decree of the Emperor Hienfong, of March 25, calls to arms all the males of the Mongol clans who dwell south of the Gobi desert, which clans are named by the Chinese, the Inner Mongols. The chiefs of these clans aro to hasten rapidly to the assistance of their liege lord, who is now so dis tressed at Pekin, and who amongst his other titles is also the Chakan of all the Mongols. These chiefs are to bring with them the whole of their retainers. Respecting the numbers and available strength of these Mongols the Chi nese Government has, for the last 43 years, published no statistical data. The last registers appeared in the year 1812. In these the Mongols subject to the "most pare dynasty" were classified in 47 clans, who again are subdi vided into 190 banners or military divisions. These are the 21 Aimak or clans of the Inner Mongols south of the Gobi desert, or shamo ; the six clans of the Outer or Chalks, Mongols north of the desert, the 5 clans of Koko nor, or Blue Lake, and the remaining 12 clans scattered over various parts. The men capable of bearing arms in all there Mongolian tribes subject to the Mandshoo dynasty were then estimated at 274,215. The situation of affairs again seems very threatening in the province of Kwangtong. The Hong Kong pipers can give us direct and reliable news from that quarter ; but movements in the other part of the empire are only known by vague reports, or else by the Pekin Gazette, which con ceals the truth, at least in part. It not unfrequently happens that whole crowds of Chinese leave their places of abode, for this or that reason, and settle in other districts, where they take plots of ground on lease for several years. These leaseholders, provided they pay the ground -rent punctually according to their agreement, cannot legally be ejected. They are frequently, nevertheless, sent adrift by their greedy landlords, which is a constant source of quar rels between the Punti, or natives, and the settlers, called Kikia in High Chinese, but Hakkas in the Canton dialect. The entire north-western part of the province of Canton is now a scene of the most bloody disorders, just as Ireland was a few years ago, between the Punti and the Hakkas. A friend of ours (says the China Mail of July 10), who visited the western coast a short time ago, found whole die. tricts in the hands of rebellious Hakkas. The atrocities per petrated by these people surpass all belief ; children and women above 30 years of age are collected in numbers and crammed into houses, which are then set fire to ; the younger woraeu and girls they carry off as captives. The females of these ferocious combatants, hardened by a life of exposure in .the fields, take a very active part in these frightful scenes. Eye-witnesses state that they are far more cruel than the men. In the province of Kuangsi, which has been many years in a disordered state, and from which Hong Sintsiuen marched out to conquer the empire, the rebellion has raised its head kigher than ever. There the Imperialists have lost several battles. The fugitives, on reaching Canton, gave out that the rebels were in hot pursuit, and would shortly appear before the gates of this provincial capital; but these reports were exaggerated. Several functionaries of high rank in various provinces have committed suicide in despair, because they felt their inability to check and put a stop to these frequent con flicts and horrors, which we are here only superficially &Undies to. Trade is at a stand at Shanghai, according to letters from the merchants, who are afraid lest the place should again be taken possession of by the insurgents. The roads in the surrounding country are so unsafe, that the new silk and the tea of this year are brought to mar ket only very scantily. Opium has fallen in price, partly on account of the increasing growth of the poppy in China itself, On which subject a memoir by Dr. MacGowan was read at the last meeting of the Asiatic Society, on the 18th of June. These circumstances excite in the minds of the English in three different quarters an uncomfortable and anxious feeling. This feeling is entertained, firstly, by the rulers of India, who derive large profits from the ex portation of the opium poison, and to whom it is especially important now when their budget is suffering, from a de ficit—which deficit, by the bye, has been considerable of late years, not because the Anglo-Indian empire flourishes less, but because its sagacious rulers are laying out large sums on public works, which can only yield a return when they shall have been completed. In the financial year of 1853.1851 this deficit amounted to 2,041,1171:, and in the following year to 1,708,6271. sterling. The :ion. President of the Board of Control, in other words, the Indian Minister, gave his estimate of the debit for the two years (1855-56 to 1856.57) as 3,209,7421., which sum, to all appearance, will yet fall below the mark. Again, the English merchants complain of the diminished demand for their goods in China, and are apprehensive of ultimately losing wholly some branches of their trade, the loss having already commenced on the articles consumed ny smokers. The Russians also, who for some years past have not been able to obtain remunerative prices for the furs they sent to the Shanghai market, now forward them to New York, where the sale is profitable. Consequently in that, the second commercial capital of the world, ,everal wealthy houses have joined to acquire a mono poly of the fur trade. If the Hudson's Bay Company b 3 inclined, as is reported, to sell a part of their rights to the Union, the plan of these speculating Americans at New York may easily be carried out. It is to this object we must refer an act of the last Congress at Washington, whereby the executive is empowered to obtain a correct settlement of the boundary line between England and North America, agreeably to the first article in the Ore gon treaty of 1846. Lastly, the English bankers com plain of the continued efflux of the precious metals, both , coinage and bullion, to the East Indies and to China In the first half-Year of 1856 this drain to Malta, Egypt, India, and China, amounted to 5,100,6331., of which only 201,7251. was in gold, the whole sum being an excess of 2,586,627/. over the first half-year of 1855. The export ation in the second ball-year seems, however, to be still greater. By the last mail alone (Sept. 4) there was sent from England, and 4aujr,eglish account, 835,400 t., of which only 26,800 Z. was in gold, the rest in dollars, to the East, for China—a fact very naturally to be explained by the high rate of exchange. If they reckon the dollar in Canton at 3a., this is nearly two florins of convention money. The so-called Carolus dollar stood so high at Shanghai in the beginning of June that the East India Company, for bills on India, demanded 355 rupees per 100 dole., equal to about 446 florins of our currency. At Canton, where dealings are always made in common dollars, the discount was 32 per cent. All these disadvantages are, rightly enough, partly ascribed in England and America to the endless confusion in the East. The attentive observer who has any know ledge of the subject must long have perceived an uneasy tone prevailing in the leading public organs of these two great commercial nations, sometimes on the question of the Montehoo dynasty and its mandarins, sometimes on that of the rebels and the so-called pirates. They would fain mix themselves up with those deeds of utter rout and *infusion, not for the sake of humanity —that is a mere pretext—but for their own advantage. This interference would have taken place long ago, if they had not been re strained on either side of the Atlantic by their awful appre hension of the incalculable results of such an act. But here too, circumstances, or natural laws, will gain the victory over man's will, and drag the irresolute violently along. The Cbipose, now that their empire stands with one foot in the moving current of the world, henceforth cannot obtain peace from within, as they formerly did so often. The Anglo-Saxons must and will interfere ; that is clear. How and when they do so will depend on events, perhaps on trivial eventualities. COLLISION ON THE STOUR VALLEY _RAILWAY. A frightful collision between an express train on this line of railway and a goods train occurred near the Old bury station, Worcestershire, on Wednesday night. The down express train, due at Olbury and Bromfield-lane station shortly after half-past 8 o'clock on 'Wednesday night, was proceeding at a rapid pace towards the sta tion, when within 600 yards of it it ran into an engine engaged in shunting a goods train on the main line of rails. The collision was fearful; both engines were thrown off the line, the buffer plank and other parts of the en gine torn to pieces, and several passenger carriages and goods trucks were also smashed, the rails themselves being partially torn up. The passenger train consisted of three carriages, and the number of paSsengers did not ex ceed 20. All were wore or less injured, and some, it is feared, fatally; but up to the time of the reporter's writing no deaths had takeh place. Toe driver of the passen ger train, seeing a e was unavoidable, jumped from his engine and received some very severe injuries, and is in a critical condition. The stoker of the pas senger engine, however, and also the driver and stoker of the goods engine stuck to their posts, and escaped with a few bruises. The cries of the injured passengers were fearful, but all were removed and surgical assistance was afforded as promptly as possible. The following is a list of the injured J. Bolton, driver of the passenger train, lacerated and contused wound over the nose and left eye, with other minor injuries, and general shock to the system. Mrs. Turner, of Kates-hill, Dudley, dangerously in• jured, sancuslion of the brain, contused and lacerated wounds on the face, neck, and shoulders. _ _ Mr. Marmon, merchant, Dudley, severe injury of the chest, but whether any ribs are broken is not yet ascer tained. Sarah Sherlock, servant, Dudley, injury of the left leg and bath knees; depression from fright and conous- Mrs. Hughes, innkeeper, Kingswinford, kneecap broken and other irjuries. Betsy Llewellyn, aged 12 years, of Kates-hill, Dud. ley, concusbion. W. Steel, glass-cutter, Brettel-lane, severe injury of ,he shoulder. Mr. J. Dew, commercial traveller, Walsall, extensive contusion of the right leg. Mr. T. Bray, traveller, Birmingham, severe contusion of the right leg and knee. Mr. W. Lovett, Dock, Dudley, dislocated shoulder. Mr. S. Higgins , of N e th er t on ; M r . J. G ranger , o f Netherton; and r. H. Brindley, of Wolverhampton, were also much shaken and bruised. Two surgeons, Mr. Beatty and Mr. Cooper, were promptly on the spot, and rendered valuable assistance and advice to the sufferers, who were conveyed to the o!dbury station, where every requisite accommodation wac provided by Mr. Beswick, the station-mater. Mr. Turner and Sarah Sherlock were conveyed to the R.at Inn near, and the passengers resident at Dudley and Netherton were conveyed thither by a spe• cial train. Assistance being obtained the line was solo cleared and the traffic resumed. The cause of the accident is traceable to the ras'mess of the parties who permitted the goods train to get upon the line at the moment when the express was due. It appears that a down Dudley train was due at Oldbury at 8 20, and passed in proper time, at 8 25. Immediately afterwards, although there were only 12 minutes to spare, the down express being duo at 8 32 the engine of the goods train with a long train of 20 or 30 trucks left the siding, and got on the down line. Along this line the engineer backed his train in order to get on the up line at Oldbury. The goods train had just left the siding, and the engine was endeavouring to back the trucks, which was a difficult task, owing to the blipperiness of the rails from a fail of rain, when the express train came up and dashed into the goods train with a fearful crash. It appears that the danger signals were hoisted to warn the approaching express train of the obstacle, but it is said that the engine driver (Bolton) did not perceive them until too late to avoid a collision. The officials, of courie, will institute an inquiry, for the accident will coat the company no inconsiderable Fum in compensation to parties injured and in damage to the line and rolling stock. It is almost feared that an official inquiry of another character wi,it result, two or three of the passengers being in a very critical state WHAT A DOG DOES WITH HIS TATA —What an absurd as well as barbarous act to cut off a dog's tail ; you might just as well cut out his tongue. In fact, a dog talks far less with his tongue than he does with his tail. With his tail a dog expresses not only gratitude, as F.do did, but hope, entreaty, complacence, affection, love, obedience, wrath, shame, defiance, fear, and frolic. It is clear, then, that in depriving a dog of his tail, you deprive him of an organ of speech. —Blackwood for September. GROSS CASH OF CRUELTY.—At the Devon County Sessions, on Thursday, before Sir John Duckworth, Bait., chairman, the wife of a respectable farmer, named Grids, residing near Slapton, in the south of Devon, was charged with assaulting and ill-treating her servant girl, nein, d Fanny Square Keys, an intelligent child, 14 years of age. Mr. Bere was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Carter defended the prisoner. It appeared that the girl Keys had been a pauper in the Kingsbridge union, whence the prisoner took her as her servant. She had "to tend the pigs and calves and to look after a little child." At the beginning of hay harvest the pri soner knocked the poor child's arm with a large stick and broke one of the bones ; and on cue occasion, be- cause she put some parings of leeks into the fire, that being an unlucky thing to do, according to the prisoner's opinion, Mrs. Grills took the saucepan from the fire and eb,t the child on the hot irons upon which the saucepan had rested, scalding her so severely that the skin was broken. On another occasion, because she did not do something that she was told, the prisoner made her ex tend her band and inflicted several blows upon it with the fl :►t part of a knife, but while doing so the edge of the instrument struck three of her fingers and cut them severely. About the same time the prisoner beat her over the head with a large stick, which caused her head to swell very much ; after that she took the poor girl into the dairy, knocked her legs and pulled her hair, and when she cried out the prisoner thrust her hand into her mouth and scratched her gums so as to make them bleed. She had continually beaten the girl on the head and shoulders in the most brutal manner, and when the re lieving.officer came one day she told him, by the prise ner'e orders, that she was very well treated and liked her place, but she said she did this because she was sn much afraid of her mistress. One of the witnesses for the prosecution, being a friend of the prisoner's, refused to give evidence, and a fine of 51. was inflicted on her. The evidence of the girl was corroborated by several witnesses, and the defence was that she was a dirty, slat ternly girl, and that she had not been chastised so se verely as alleged. The jury, however, found the priso ner guilty, and she was sentenced to six months' impri sonment. ENGLAND AND FRANCE. At the free trade banquet given by the Council General of the Herault at Montpelier on Saturday M. Michel Chevalier made an interesting speech in proposing the health of Queen Victoria. He said "Few reigns, indeed, have bees marked by achieve ments so considerable and so happy. To recount, even in the most summary manner, all the great things that have been done under this reign would he the work of long hours. Abroad, for example, one would have to speak of those conquests in far distant regions which had ag grandised the Anglo Indian empire—conquests which humanity might applaud without reserve, for they had had for their effect to substitute for the inept, extortion ate, and cruel Government of the native princes the mild and equitable rule of a European nation distinguished for its intelligence and morality. Further off still than India the Tartar hordes who had conquered China had been forced by the power of the English arms to abandon that policy of absolute isolation by which they had kept down 350,000,000 of intelligent and in dustrious men. After a reference to the rapid colo nisation of Australia and to the present peaceful state of Ireland, where the people, without having purck sed the privilege by any social or political sacrifice, rr s-d the religion of .their fathers, which was not Vitt of the State, M. Chevalier said he would not, for want of time, continue further to enumerate the' titles of Queen Vic toria to the respect and gratitude of the civilised world, but would come at once to the topic on which they felt wore particularly interested':—Under Queen Victoria's Government an entire chasige hal been wrought in the policy of England. The English policy with regard to Franca had been based unon the aphorism that the pro sperity and greatness of England were incompatible with ours ; and in the Cabinet of Versailles, quite as much as in the Cabinet of St. James's, it was a principle, a maxim, an article of faith, that for France to be great England mutt be lowered. These narrow-minded doctrin. a, which had caused so much blood and so many tears to be shed, were now repudiated. He thought there had never been a political event which enlightened minds and generous souls could so heartily rejoice in having been witnesses of as this transformation in the ideas of Euro pean Cabinets, and more especially the harmonious and sympathetic accord between England and France. The friendship of France and England was, in the words of the poet, 'a present from the gods,' not only to each nation, but also to the world, for it was the most solid guarantee for.tbe repose of the universe, and the best pledge of general peace. It was also a pledge of general progress, for two peoples so great could Not be associated and it but for the accomplishment of great design-, and the maintenance of justice upon the earth. The Eastern war had written the proof of this in characters of iron and fire. Queen Victoria had pursued this ac cord during many years with an unflinching constancy which deserved all gratitude. But, whatever miglt, have been said or thought to the contrary, it was tht,u 4 ht impossible that the alliaice could be consummated and become truly cordial before the present day. It was praiseworthy in tradesmen to wish for the alliance, but in France the national sympathy could not till now respond to the call of political men. We felt that we were the vanquished of Waterloo, and that by the treaties of 1815 we had bee n stripped of the rank which we had held for centuries in Europe. Under these circumstances the English alliance, whatever goodwill there might have been on the part of the two Govern ments, could never have been an alliance on a footing of -quality. This the public confidence knew and felt, and yet it would never have accepted the alliance on any other terms. Now all was changed. We were no longer the vanquished of Europe. We bad reco vered ourselves, and we had a right to hold our heads AO high that no nation in the world could consider luirsalf above us. The Emperor, to whom the national will freely confided our destinies, belonged to that family which the treaties of 1315 deposed and prc, scribed with multiplied threats and precautions to man tl'n their work. As to the disaster of Waterloo, we had effaced the recollection of it by the fraternity of arms. He would say more—we had taken in the Valley of Inkerman a brilliant revenge—a revenge 'such as became a chivalrous and Chri,tian nation ; for, if in France the people were delighted to bear witness that our brave allies where heroic on that glorious day by their intrepidity and solidity, England proclaims that but for French impetuosity the valiant English Guards had nothing for it but to wrap themselves in their co lours and die, like the Old Guard at Mont St. Jean. Among the many considerable events which marked the glorious reign of Queen Victoria he felt that he should be reproach. d for having so long abstained from alluding to the repudiation of the superannuated ideas of the old commercial policy and the inauguration of free trade. When Queen Victoria ascended the throne the protec tionist system was an idol before which the civilised world lay prosiratein an attitude of a'loration. But it was an idol with feet of clay, for Ahem is no solid founda tion but in sound principles. At the period when Qusen Victoria attained her majority there appeared on the horizon a pleiad of generous men, till then obscure, but worthy of a glorious celebrity, and destined to obtain it by their undaunted courage, their pa' riotism, and their perseverance—their perseverance, a great gvility, with out which nothing could be done, and which was espe cially worthy of imitation in this matter. These new men strug,gled resolutely against the protective system. In 1846 a statesman was found with mind and heart enough isolemnly to abjure the protectionist opinions which he had professed for 30 years, and with puwer encugh to draw after him the majority of the party whin" bad shared his belief. Obedient to his voice, the English Parliament, with that admirable vigour which characterised the English nation, earried these opinions rags practice. The revolution was made without asking for reciprocity from any other nation, because free trade, even without reciprocity, was recognised t) be a great public benefit, and the advantages of the change were so manifest that at this hour a man calling himself a Pro tectionist was scarcely to be found in the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Mira Governments had already begun to follow the example. At this moment Europe and the world were in suspense. They fixed their eyes upon France, and waited for the signal. The con• version of France to free trade would be immediately followed by the conversion of all other peoples. Now the signs of the times announced that France hesitated for the moment, but this hesitation could not be of long du ration. The prohibitive system in France was an ano maly, fur history attested that it was originally adopted as a war measure against England. Now that the bitter rivalry of the two peoples bad given place t) a frank and cordial friendship the system must in all logic dis appear. If it were objected to him that it was not I,r France.servilely to imitate England be would answer first, that all true and generous ideas belonged to au people in particular, but were the common patrimony of humanity.. But, in adopting free trade, Prance would imitate no one, for' it wa3 the only system compatible with the immortal principles of 1789 ; and thirty years before Sir Robert Peel raised the standard of free trace the Emperor Napoleon, in his exile on the rock of St. Helena, pronounced these memorable and pro phetic words, recorded by the Memorial de Sa , nte He• lene, of June 12, 1816;—:' Wc must for the future fa.ll baoh upon free navigation and an entire liberty of uni• versal exchange.' He cancluded by proposing 'The Health of Queen Victoria; the Perpetuity of the Anglo- French Athance ;' and, he added, under the auspices of Napoleon 1., 'the universal adoption and gradusi prac• tiff; in all countries of the principles of frei.; - trade.' The above speech was received with loud cheers. THE CHURCH DISPUTE AT WEST BARTLEPOOL. The following taemorial, from the congregation of Christ Church, was presented to the Bishop of Durham, at Auckland Castle, on Tuesday last : CHRIST CHURCH, WEST HARTLEPOOL, "To the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Durham. " My Lord,—We, the undersigned, being renters and occupiers of pews in the above church, do hereby desire to represent to your lordship the deep pain we feel at the continuance of the present unhappy dispute with the Rev. John Hart Burges. We desire at the same time to con vey to your lordship the expression of our deep anti unal terable conviction that, from circumstances to which we need not more specifically allude, the usefuleess of Air. Burges, as a minister of the Church of England, in West Hartlepool, is at an end ; and we therefero most earnestly iutreat your lordship to adopt such measures as to your lordship .usay seem meet, for relieving hini from the respon sibility of any further ministrations in this town. We will only add that we are the more encouraged to solicit this favour at your lordship's hands from the fact that Mr. Bur ges has intimated to us his intention of holding his present position so long only as he shall continue to receive the sanction of your lordship's countenance and support.—And your memorialists will ever pray." We copy below his Lordship's reply, which was for. warded to the memorialists on the some day : "Auckland Castle, Sept. 16, 1556. "Gentlemen,—Being aware of the disastrous conse quences of the unhappy dispute in West Hartlepool, on the 4th of this month I wrote to Mr. Barges, earnestly ad visir.g him to resign. Receiving no answer, I wrote to him again on the 9th, reiterating my advice; and I shall to-day again urge him mot to delay his resignation. I do not understand, after his public declaration, how be can re main after such a positive intimation of my opinion and wishes ' • but I am not aware that I have the power of coin pellinghim to resign while a doubt remains respecting the validity of his licence. There is a wide difference between a stipendiary and a perpetual curate. The former may be dismissed at the discretion of the bishop ; the latter not without a just and valid cause recognised by the law.--I am, gentlemen, your most obedient servant, " E, DUNELM. " R. Oldham Esq., and the subscribers to the Memorial, kc." LONDON AND PARIS BANK.—The directors of the London and Perk Bank have intimated to Mr. Hart idge, as the representative of the committee, of share tio,das lately appointed, that they have agreed to recom mend at the meeting on Friday next the dissolution of the company, and the immediate return of the subscriber, capital, less 3/. per share, to he retained until the exact expenses shall have been ascertained. [PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD• TERRIFIC FIRE IN THE CITY.-GREAT DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY. Last night, at a few minutes before 8 o'clock, a fire, attended with the destruction of several thousand pounds' worth of property, and which eras not extinguished at nearly two o'clock this morning, happened in the pre mises belonging to Messrs. Matthews and Co., Isms'. manufacturers, situate at No. 106', Upper Thames-street. The premises were of vast extent, stretching in on , direction nearly 300 feet, of proportionable width, and several floors high, abutting into Old Swan•lane, conti guous to Messrs. Harker's warehouses. The tire was ' discovered by one of the workmen employed on the pre anises, but in spite of the most strenuous exertions of all present the flames in the course of a few minutes a , sume.d such an ascendancy that it became clearly manifest tlia , ' the fearful element would make terrible havoc. Something, but what it was could not be ascertained, exploded, amid made a great noise, cawing terrible con fusion throughout the densely packed neigh') , urlp , od The ward schools of Candlewick and Dowgate being next door, the roof soon took fire, when the m i s t ress of the schools, who had been confined only a few days, was carried out by the neighbours, and taken to Mr. Eve rest's, the Old Swan Tavern. The inmates of the warehouse, as far as can be ascer tained, enc:eeded in effecting their escape, some by gAting over the roof, others by running down stairs, and some by getting out of the wind )w. With a; little delay as po.sible the engines of the London Brigade, the powerful floating engine, under the command of Evinetr Gerrard, and numerous other land engines under the euperin'endence of Mr. Braid wood and Mr. Fogo, attended, and also those of the West of England office and different parishes. A plentiful supply of the New River Company's water was obtained on the land sire, from which the engine were set to work in Thames sine, and Swan-lane, whilst the powtrful floating engine threw about six tons from the river Thames per minute ; but notwithstanding the work of destruction continued, the fl ttnes crossed Swan lane, and were attacking the premises of Messrs. Har ker and Co., and from thence eas,:ward to the premises known as the Old Shades Tavern. The scene then became one of fearful grandeur, for every part of the metropolis became brilliantly illurni• Dated, the City churches and the shipping in the river were brought out to such perfection as to resemble a Monster panorama ; at the same time the neighbours were tunniaw about in a state bordering elope frenzy, carrying in their arms their children and any article of furniture they could lay their h7tnds upon. The fire, however, in spite of everything done to arrest it, continued to spread, and at one period it was feared Viat the flames would extend as, far as Fishmongers' Hall. By dint of great exertion on the part of the fireman, by half past one o'clock, the lames began per. eptibly to diminish, but they were far from being entirely extin guished, and even so late as two o'clock this morning, the fire had not been entirely subdued. Among the numerous sufferers by this disastrous event is Mr. C. Dow, machine-ruler, who has had all his goods removed and greatly injured by breakage and water, and, unfortunately, he is uninsured. The factory of Messrs. Matthews is nearly destroyed, and the damage dose to surrounding premises, especially those oflqessrs. Berwick and Co., Scotch ale merchants, and others, must amount to several thousand pounds. The Royal Society's fire-escapes, with conductor Law, were early in attendance, and rendered great assistance to the firemen in enabling them to carry the hose of the engines to the top of the building, which had the effect of saving the Old Shades Tavern, and cutting oft- the fire in the direction of the Fishmongers' Hall. The greatest praise is due to the firemen, and also to Superintendent Connorton, of the We•.t of E }gland Offiee, as well as to the police under Superintendent Hodgson and Inspectors Newnham and Shepherd, who kept the tremendous crowd out of danger. As to whe ther or not the sufferers were insured, nothing definite could be ascertained during the excitement and confusion which prevailed. THE IMPERIAL COURT IN THE • PYRENEES. BIARRITZ, SEPT. 16. The Emperor and Empress, with a few attendants, left thi- place at 1 o'clock yesterday, with the intention,of pro ceedieg to Iliclactie, and visiting the ruins of the ancient castle of the Dukes of Grammont. Eidache is situate on the Bidonge, a small tributary of the Nive, which is itself the capricious tributary of the Adour. The party went ix two chars ct-bunc ; hut as they reeohcd Camp de x'rats the Empress was seized with cramps in the stomach, which bad the effect of interrupting the excursion. At Camp de Prats there is an asylum fora certain number of destitute old men and women, and which is managed by women. On arriving at this point the Empress, whose sufferings did not permit her fro continue her journey, demanded hospitality. The superioress, who was ignorant of the rank of the persons who claimed her kind office -t, has tened to afford e% sry assistance in her power. Her Maj-3sty was conducted by tier to the inner apartments, and eta 17 appliance was made use of to alleviate her pains. It was only when she heard the Emperor addressed by one of his attendants as " Sire," and the Empress a t " Your Ma jesty," that she was aware of the presence under her hos pitable roof of such exalted personages. The poor lady was quite bewil lerel ; she made a thousand apologies for hay. Mg addressed ti•eiu as" Monsieur," and " Madam'," but the Emperor good-natinediy ,et her at rev, and b geed that she would consider them as simple wayfarers, and nothing more. The Empress was soon relieved from her sufferings, and the excursion persevered in. The Ernpertx asked permission to inspect the place, which was of course accorded. Be expressed his admiration of the magnificent situation.. Camp de Prats stands on the beautiful emi nence situated bet ween the Adour and the Nice. Nothing can be more beautiful than the prospect. On on side the Nive, dividing Bayonne into two unequal parts. fresh from its mountain home, pashas along, at one moment leaping over the rocks that impede its course, and falling in mimic cascades ; at another spreading its waters in a large pool, hiding under the shadows of the wooded hills, and stealing along without noise or murmur as if ashamed of being seen, and then rolling its volume of waters into the Adour, a hich receives tuem below the redoubts of the citadel of Bayonne. Slopes covered with delicious verdure, handsome villas rising from amid the thickest foliage, and the glorious chain of the Pyrenees in the distance from a paw:mina which can hardly be surpassed anywhere. The Empress's indisposition soon passed off, but it was thought advisable not to continue the journey, and the order was given to return to Biarritz. The Emperor warmly thanked the superior,ts for her attention, and left 400 fraees, all the money he had about him, for the poor. The excursion, however, was resumed to-day, and was not, I believe, impeded by any ac.:.ideut like that which occurred yesterday. THE GENOA TRANSATLANTIC STEAM 0031- PANY'S FLEET. A trial trip of one of the ships composing this company's fleet was had on Thursday. The company is established to form a communication between Genoa and South America, and between Genoa and the United States, and it,is in tended to have four ships for each eereioe. ['he ship which had her trial, trip is called the " Geneva," .conia mended by Captain Napoli. She is a screw steamer, three masted, and barque rigged with wire ropes.; her length is 265 feet, breadth 3 8 feet, and depth of hold 28 feet, drawing when loaded 20 feet. Her burden is 1852 tons, builders' measurement, and she can parry from 800 t) 909 tons of cargo and from 700 to 800 tens of coal in the bunkers, besides which she has capacity for 60 first-class, 100 second, and 200 third-class pa, stingers. Her engines are of 300-horse power, nominal : the engines are of the direct-Acting principle with two piston-rods '2 feet 6 inches 4roke, and making 60 strokes par minute. The diameter of the cylinder is 55 inches ; the screw-propeller is 15 feet diameter and 19 feet pitch. There ere four boilers and one extra boiler on deck to work a donkey-engine, which may be used for raising the anchor or other heavy work. She was designed by Mr. Ash, and built by Mes=rs. Mare and Co., under the direction of Captain Ford, formerly in the service of the General Screw Steam Company, and lately employed by the Turkish Government. She has a poop deck and raised forecastle. The saloon is of the full widta of the ship, and is lighted from the port-holes and a com panion leathern on deck ; it has 6 ft. 10 in. headway, and is superbly fitted, the decorations being in mat.' 'and oak. There is also a second cabin, the fittings of which are elegant. The ventilation is by means of perforated panels ; it appears to be effectually accomplished; and the ornamentation is made subservient to it. The vessel is fitted with a distilling apparatus, which is capable of supplying about 350 gallons of fresh water per Wen), besides a separate apparatus for the cooking room, which will supply 150 gallons. Altogether, whether in respect of comfort, convenience, or elegance, the Genova is one of the best specimens of naval architecture that has been built on the banks of the Thames, She started from Gravesend at 20 minutes past 12, having on board a number of gentlemen connected with the company and their friends, amongst whom were Mr. P. Rolt, M.P., Mr. Maudslay, Mr. Joshua Field, Mr. G. B. Rennie, Capt. Mackinnon, R.N., Mr. Petroni, and other scientific gentlemen. The trial was not one of speed, but in order to ascertain that her engines acted properly and that the vessel was in working trim. Her engines, therefore , were not kept a t full speed, but she made about 12 knots afi hour. The engines at first worked a little stiffly, which is inseparable from newness, but this wore off, and before long they worked freely enough, and there was a remarkable absence of vibration. The vessel steamed round the Nore Light, and then returned, arriving at Gravesend about five o'clock, every one on board tieing well pleased with the trip and with the per formance of the vessel. This is the third ship of the fleet which has been completed. The two first, which are named the Victor Emmanuel and the Gaunt de Cavour, were built by the same firm (the engines by Messrs. Rennie), have been engaged in the Crimea in the French transport service, from which they are now die. engaged, and are being made ready to take their 84 1 _ tions on the line ; a fourth ship is being bUilt also at the ship-yard of Messrs. Mare, whose business, we under stand, is now condtio;ed by an association of engineers, and she is expected to be launched on the 15th proximo. 1 ~~ i it """ Veal/ and le 4 1 1 so od 16 A nd 15 2d F1;1115: 1g r
