AMERICA LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY MORNING. ARRIVAL OF THE PERSIA. The mail steam-ship Persia has arrived, with ad vices from New York to the 17th inst. She has brought $1,563,646 specie on freight. Our New York correspondent writes:—" The steam-ship Cambria arrived at Boston on the 13th of September, and the Arabia on the 14th. The Atlantic reached New York on the 15th inst. A letter had been published from Mr. Johnston, the Know-Nothing Free-soil candidate for the Presi dency, declining the nomination, and declaring his adhesion to Mr. Fremont. This letter was said to have been surreptitiously obtained. The Whigs were to hold a Convention at Baltimore on 17th to nomi nate candidates for the Presidency and Vice-Presi dency. It was supposed they would declare in favour of Mr. Fillmore. The Republicans were to hold conventions at Trenton, in New Jersey, and at Syracuse, in New York, on the same day. The news from Lima is to the 15th ult. A revolt had broken out among the troops. The insurgents numbered 500 or GOO men, under General Castillo. When apprised of the revolt the President mus tered those troops which had remained loyal, to the number of 600 or 700, and proceeded to attack the insurgents, who had taken possession of the square of the Inquisition. After some skirmishing and a cavalry charge, the insurgents were compelled to retreat out of the city, and the insurrection, for the time being at least, was suppressed. The populace were much excited during the day, but took no part in the affair." Placido De Castro, who has been on trial before the United States' district court, charged with fit ting out the slave brig Braman, was acquitted yes terday. Judge Lecompte, of Kansas, has written a long letter in vindication of his course in sustaining the action of the Missouri border ruffians. The letter is in answer to the speech of the Hon. Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana, made in the House of Repre sentatives, and seems to be a personal affair alto gether. The George Law had arrived from California. The news was important and interesting. The Vigilance Committee had disbanded, having dis charged Judge Terry with a recommendation to resign. The termination of the existence of the committee was not marked by further disasters or violence. The forces of the committee paraded in full force, numbering several thousand men. Many were mounted and fully equipped for cavalry service. The London correspondent of the New York _Herald has furnished that journal with the follow ing copy of the treaty for the arrangement of the Central American questions : " CONVENTION BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND HONDII• RAS A RELATIVE TO THE BAY ISLANDS. "Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the Republic of Honduras being desirous to settle, in a friendly manner, certain questions connected with the territorial limits of the Republic, have resolved to conclude a convention for that purpose, and have named as their Plenipotentiaries, ac., who have agreed upon and concluded the follow ng articles : "Art. 1. Taking into consideration the peculiar topo graphical position of Honduras, and in order to secure the neutrality of the islands adjacent thereto, with reference to any railway or other line of inter-oceanic communica tion which may be constructed across the territories of Honduras, her Britannic Majesty and the Republic of Honduras agree to constitute and declare the islands of Ruatan, Bonacca, Helena, Utile, and Barbaretta, situ ated in the Bay of Honduras, a free territory under the sovereignty of the Republic of Honduras. The present legislative, judicial, and executive authorities in said island shall remain in the exercise of their functions until the Legislative Assembly of the said islands may otherwise provide, with, however, the following excep tions :—All functions hitherto exercised by the Crown of Great Britain, and by the Governor of Jamaica, in the government and legislature of the said island shall cease from the date of the proclamation of this convention therein, and such proclamation shall be made as soon as possible after the exchange of ratifications. All functions hitherto exercised by the superintendent of the British settlements in the Bay of Honduras, in the capacity of Lieutenant Governor of the said islands, and by the pre siding magistrate therein resident, in the government and legislation of the said islands, shall cease six months after the date abovewentioned, unless the Legislative Assembly shall sooner provide substitutes for the above mentioned functionaries. The inhabitants of the free territory shall then possess the following rights and im munities : "1. The right to govern themselves by means of their own municipal government, to be administered by legi timate, executive, and judicial officers of their owa elec. tion, according to their own regulations. • "2. Trial by jury in their own courts. " Perfect freedom of religious belief and worship, pub. lie and private. " 4. Exemption from all duties of customs and from all taxation on real estate or other property, except such as may be imposed by their own municipality, and col lected for the treasury of the free territory, to be applied for the benefit of the said free territory. "5. Exemption from military service,fexcept for the defence of the free territory and within its bounds. "The Republic of Honduras engages not to excercise its rights of sovereignty over the islands which are to constitute such free territory in any manner in violation of the rights and immunities specified in this article. The Republic also engages not to erect nor to permit to be erected any fortification on the said islands or any of the islands in the Bay of Honduras ; nor to cede such islands or any of them, or the right of sovereignty over such islands, or any part of such sovereignty, to any na tion or State whatever ; and whereas slavery has not existed in the said islands the Republic of Honduras hereby engages that slavery shall not at any time here after be permitted to exist therein. " Art. 2.—The contracting parties agree to communi cate the present convention to all other maritime Powers and to invite them to accede to it. " Signed in London this day of —, in the year of our Lord, 1856. " CLARENDON. " HERRAN." The difficulties in Kansas wore still unsettled.- Advices thence to the 10th say that the State pri soners were released o❑ bail. Governor Geary had issued a proclamation com manding all armed bands to disperse. Emery's band had been taken before Gen. Smith for arresting an officer of the regular army. A fort capable of holding 1,000 men hail just been finished at Laurence. There was a great jubilee at Laurence on the 10th in consequence of the release of the State prisoners. - The citizens of New York, Baltimore, Boston, and other cities were Taking preparations to give public receptions to Air. George Peabody. of Ifni don, on the occasion of his return to America. He was to attend a public dinner in New York, over which Mr. Bancroft, late Minister of Loudon, was to preside. Mr.. Everett was to preside over a similar affair in Boston. Sir Henry Holland had arrived at New York. Money was comparatively easy. Exchange 1091 to 1092. The entire semi-monthly remittance from San Francisco amounted to about $2,000,000. NEW YORK, SEPT. 17. -- - The Cambria arrived at Boston on Saturday the 13th inst., and the Arabia at the same port on the 14th. The Atlantic also arrived at this port on the 15th, and the three mails were delivered the same day. The latter vessel also brings Mr. George Pea body of London, who has been received with almost public ovations. Delegations were awaiting him from all parts of the country to invite him to par take of hospitalities both private and .civic. The arrival of an American whose hospitalities in Europe to his countrymen visiting the Old World have been so unremitting and so colossal, and whose labours to promote international good feeling and personal friendship between the substantial men on both sides of the water have been so constant, lulls for a moment the noise of politics in New York. The New York of to-day must present a curious aspect to a person whose recollections of it were formed a quarter of a century since. Even in the Old World each passing year leaves some change behind to mark it. See what three years have done for Paris in the extension of the rue de Rivoli, the ab solute creation of the park in the Bois de Boulogne. The London of the beginning of the century an d the London of to-day were very different affairs, so far as street architecture is concerned.l But in this bustling town there is not only nothing left of the last century, but even little of the last decade. We are in a perpetual state of siege. Our streets present much the same appearance that we see in the drawings of Sebastopol in the Illustrated News. One street, or one range of streets, is no sooner destroyed to make way for newer and more magnificent warehouses than- the mason and the joiner fellow to the next above to go through the same process there. Broadway, our principal pro menade, is almost impassable in places from the mass of building materials on each side. And then we have a way of embowelliug the earth deeper than any other nation. Our new warehouses in height above ground rival the rear of High-street, Edin burgh, and in depth below the same houses seen from the street front. When the workmen leave and the streets are restored to business you see ranges of marble and sandstone " blocks," unsur passed in elegance, and certainly much too good for the purposes to which they are put. The town has also pushed itself out in every direction, or rather in the only direction in which it can extend— namely, up the island ; and the visitor of 20 years ago, now returning, finds a succession of squares and streets miles beyond where were grass and trees when he knew the town. . There is little news of importance in the political world. Governor Johnston, of Pennsylvania, no. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY IEV ENING t SEPTEMBER 29). minated by the Freesoil Know-nothings as their candidate for the Tice-Presidency, has withdrawn in favour of Mr. Dayton. This unites the whole Freesoil strength proper in the support of Fremont and Dayton. The withdrawal of Mr. Johnston has been anticipated for some time. An attempt has been made in Maryland to organise a Fremont party and nominate an electoral ticket, but it was met by a riot, and broken up by violence. The Republicans open their autumn "campaign" (as it is called) by a convention to-morrow for se lecting their candidate for Governor. It is impor tant only as affecting the local politics of the States. The New Jersey Republicans also meet in conven tion to-morrow to select their candidates for presidential electors. This is an important conven tion, as New Jersey is one of the doubtful Northern States, and its vote may be determined by the action of this convention. The probability is that some gentlemen will be selected who have been hitherto inclined towards Mr. Fillmore, but have now determined to support Mr. Fremont. This will be done in the hope of inducing other friends of Mr. Fillmore to follow so conspicuous examples. If the Fillmore vote can be gained to Fremont, the State will be put beyond doubt. All parties, how ever, are spending their strength in Pennsylvania, which is felt to be the real battle-ground. If that can be carried for Fremont, there is a feeling that all will be safe for him. Neither party spares exertion. Mass meetings are held in all parts of the State, and all the most available stump orators are imported in, with appointments made for them weeks ahead. The election for State officers takes place early in October, and will tell the story for the Presidential election, in the following month. The London correspondent of the .New York Herald furnishes that jonrnal with a copy of the treaty said to be negotiated in London between the British Government and the republic of Honduras. The Vigilance Committee of San Francisco has at length ceased to exist, and power is restored to the hands of the constituted authorities. Judge Terry, the offending justice of the Supreme Court, who offended the committee by resisting their offi cer and stabbing him in the street, has been dis charged, with a recommendation to resign, which the committee reserve to themselves no power to enforce. The closing scenes of the drama were worthy to keep company with those that had gone before. The scenic effect of no modern opera was ever calculated with more skill or better judgment. 6,000 or 10,000 men paraded under arms, bearing the colours and badges of the committee; to escort them from public back to private life, with a de monstration that should insure their safety here after. The complication of affairs in Kansas has been partially unravelled by the release of the State pri soners on bail, as we learn by telegraph. There appears as yet, however, to be no disposition on either side to relinquish arms and settle down to peace. The Free-State men feel that they have been cheated and wronged by the Missourians, backed by the Administration, and do not seem disposed to lay down their arms. They have built a fort at Laurence said to be capable of holding 1,000 men. sion of the purchase money according to the following scale : Field officers Captains .... Subalterns .. £3OO 200 150 " 34. Any officer who shall at the end of the first three years of service or sooner signify his intention not to pro long his service beyond the said period of three years shall forfeit his house and such portion of his land, with the im• provements thereon, as shall have been derived from the Government free grant, or was granted as the equivalent of the remission money referred to in the last paragraph, all of which shall revert to the Crown. " 35. Every officer who continues to serve for the re maining four years of this engagement shall be liable to the same conditions as to service and pay as are already pro vided for the non-commissioned officers as privates, in con sideration of which every such officer shall, at the expira tion of the full term of seven years, be entitled to a free grant as his absolute property of the house and building lots and also of such land as he may have acquired by virtue of article 33. "MARRIED OFFICERS. "36. Married officers will be allowed to take their wives and families to South Africa free of expense for passage or provisions, and a passage will be given to one unmarried female servant, in addition to each family, if required. " 37. The widows and children of officers will succeed to the lands and property of their husbands and parents, as in the case of non-commissioned officers and privates. (See article 26.) " 38. During the period of their service the officers will be required to discharge their military duties, and also to carry out the details of the location of their men. "PANMURE. "R. VON STUTTERHEIM." THE _BISHOP OF LONDON AND THE CLERGY OF THE DIOCBSE. The following address, signed by the archdea cons, rural deans, and between 400 and 500 of the clergy of the diocese of London, was presented by the archdeacons to the Bishop of the diocese, at Fulham Palace, on Saturday, Sept. 27 : "TO THE RIGHT HON. AND RIGHT RED. CHARLES JAMES, SPORTING NOTES. NOTIONS ABOUT NEWMARKET. The autumn campaign at head-quarters will commence on Tuesday with a satisfactory plan of operations. The programme is strong in its "Triennial " attractions, and certain inclosed stakes will doubtless obtain large en tries. In addition to the races for two and three-years old the list of sport comprises the Eastern Counties Han dicap and " The Cup," and altogether the three days' proceedings will be interesting enough. Opportunities, too, will be afforded for certain " early birds " in their "matutinal visits" to the exercise ground to pick up the worm of information in connection with the two great coming events—the Cesarewitch and Cambridge shire. The establishment of the Eastern Counties Handicap has contributed an important item of sport to the pro gramme. The Poacher has been almost the only animal in demand, and, judging from the spirit with which he is supported, both for this event and the Cambridgeshire, he cannot be the " bottled up" animal which his oppo nents suppose. Still, I do not find anything in the Poacher's "antecedents " to induce me to place implicit confidence in his chance. It has been said with truth that the only sueceis which he achieved this year was over a three-years-old, who received only ilbs, and who ran home on three legs, and a swinger. They wh saw New Brighton run at Doncaster on the Friday were con vinced that he was there beaten only by being "can noned " against. The course at Newmarket will be well suited to him, and I think that his performance for the Stewards' Plate at Goodwood is alone sufficient to en title him to attention for this event. Of the three vaar-olds my fancy points to Olympus and Eloquence. The former has been knocked about of late, and is now doubtless somewhat stale. Still, should he go to the post, I shall not slightingly regard his chance. I shall not occupy space by a useless discussion of the merits of each animal likely to go to the post. The three who are, in my opinion, likely to occupy the foremost places are New Brighton, Olympus, and Sneer gelding, and my estimate of their chances are in accordance with the order in which I have set down their names. Both Ayacanora and Limbourn have incurred a 6lbs. penalty for the Hopeful Stakes. They are not likely to meet an animal of very formidable pretensions, and they may run first and second. My preference is for Lam bourn. Walmer will win the Grand Duke Michael Stakes. In addition to her engagement for the Hopeful Stakes, Ayacanora is also nominated for the Triennial Stakes for two-yr olds, for which her most formidable opponent will perhaps be the Chevalier d'lndustrie. John Scott's Derby horses are, it is said, not likely to go to Newmarket. Should Melissa be allowed to run for the Triennial Stakes far three-yr-olds she will of course win ; and, should no obstacle be offered to bis starting, the Cle mentina gelding will carry oif the Triennial Stakes for four-yr•olds. The St. Leger I assign to Omer Paella. Turbit may win the Rutland Stakes. Races at Monmouth, Chesterfield, and Northallerten will keep " provincial turfites" fully employed. I will endeavour briefly to determine the probabilities. M.D. and Sulpitia are perhaps the most attractive names amongst the entries for the Revival Plate. Pantomime and Fanny Grey are entitled to notice for the Chatsworth Plate. For the Chesterfield Plate, Yorkshire Grey is my fancy. The Monmouth Meeting I shall not touch upon. I will send my notes on Northallerton from New market for publication on Wednesday. Broadstairs, Sept. 28. A.

" We, the archdeacons, rural deans, and undersigned clergy of the diocese of London, on the memorable and to us deeply affecting occasion of your lordship's retirement from the superintendence of this diocese, desire to ap proach you with the expression of our most affectionate regret. "Our minds at such a season naturally revert to the multitude of claims upon our respect and gratitude which you have established by a vigilant, able, Conscientious, and affectionate administration of the duties of your high office. We have, in the first place, to recognise our per sonal obligation for the promptitude, patience, and assi duity with which all our applications for advice and as sistance have been met, and the admirable judgment which has guided the counsels given to us. But more especially as regards the interests of that Church of which we have the privilege ,to be ministers, we have to recognise your bold, ready, and powerful as sertion of its rights and claims in Parliament—your nu merous sermons, charges, and publications in reply to its opponents, and in vindication of its discipline and doctrines—your personal addresses at public meetings held in behalf of the various objects most deeply affect ing the honour of God and the welfare of society—your strenuous and successful labours in the cause of Chris tian missions—your liberal contributions for the further. ance of the objects thus earnestly commended by you to others—the assistance freely and munificently rendered in the erection of churches and schools in the metropolis and other parts of the diocese—the special erection and endowment at your sole charge of the Church of St. Stephen, Hammersmith—and the leading part which you have always taken in securing the incorporation of reli gions with secular education in the great public institu tions of the country. "The remembrance of these and other labours, by which your lordship has largely contributed both to the general interests of religion and to our own personal ad vantage and comfort, cannot but fill us with the deepest sorrow on the contemplation of your retirement from an office, the duties of which you have for 28 . years so ad mirably discharged. " We cannot bid you farewell without the expression of our earnest desire and prayer that you may carry into private life the cheering recollection of having left behind you a large body of clergy and laymen deeply impressed with the value of your guidance and sympathy—that the Father of Mercies may bestow richly upon yourself the consolation which you have endeavoured to impart to others—that you may have the comfort of knowing that your precepts and exhortations have not been lost upon us—that the diocese whose interests you have so ear nestly cherished is largely prospering in the hands of your successor—and that he has found a body of clergy and laity prepared by their respect and affection for your self to co-operate in every plan which may be proposed by him for the advancement of Christ's kingdom upon earth, and especially for the well-being of that great metropolis with which ;your name will be honourably associated throughout all generations. [Here follow—thesignatures.] His lordship made the foilowing reply " Reverend and dear Brethren,—l have been deeply touched and gratified by your kind address on my in tended resignation of the see of London. "I had long felt that the duties of that sea. required ' alt the energy and activity of a younger and stronger man than myself ; and it has pleased God to visit me with such a measure of sickness and infirmity as not only to justify me in seeking to be relieved from a burden which has become too heavy for me, but to impose upon me the absolute necessity of doing so. " An Act of Parliament has been passed enabling me to resign my bishopric. For the provisions of that act I have cause to be thankful ; though I must oonfess that I would rather have seen a general measure appli• cable, with certain safeguards, to the case of all bishops of our Church disabled by age or infirmity from the active discharge of their duties. "Nothing short of a real and urgent necessity would have induced me to take a step, which would Le painful under any circumstances, and which is rendered peculi arly so by the fact of its involving my separation from a body of clergymen with whom I have been connected by a sacred bond of union for 28 years, whom I have always regarded as brethren and friends, and who have always evinced a corresponding feeling in their conduct towards me. " The relation of a bishop to the clergy of his diocese presents so many occasions for as interchange of kind acts and offices, that he may sometimes earn for himself, by a friendly bearing towards them, a more favourable opinion than the performance of his more public duties might seem to justify. It is, therefore, very gratifying to me to be assured that your kind feeling towards me has arisen from both considerations. " The long experience of my earlier clerical life as curate and incumbent gave me peculiar facilities for knowing the duties and appreciating the difficulties and wants of the parochial clergy. If at any time I have failed to show in my conduct towards them that I hal profited by such experience, I hope they will believe that such failure was not occasioned by any want of real sympathy with them in their labours and trials. " Let me add that I am not conscious of having ever allowed any difference of opinion upon matters not affecting the foundation or essential doctrines of our holy faith to influence my conduct towards any individual of my clergy, but that I looked only to his faithfulness and diligence in winning souls to Christ. " I earnestly hope and pray that the kindly feelings which you have at all times manifested towards me may cheer and facilitate the labours of your new diocesan. I have ventured to assure him that the attachment which I had reason to believe the clergy of the diocese felt towards me would, I was persuaded, induce them to receive my successor with cordial respect and deference. "Suffer me, brethren, in addressing you for the last time as your bishop, to remind you of the high and weighty trust committed to each of you by the Chief Shepherd of the sheep. I may specially urge on you the importance of that, which I dwelt uuon at some length in my charge delivered at my last visitation, the constant personal intercourse which ought to subsist between a clergyman and his flock. Nothing can ade quately supply the place of a zea!ous and active body of parochial clergymen, carrying the truths and consolations of religion to the homes of their neighbours, especially the poor, and so awakening them by degrees to a sense of their spiritual wants, and exciting in them a longing for the more solemn and authoritative teaching of the Church in her offices and in the public preaching of God's word. At present there is little prospect of such an increase in the number of parochial clergymen as may fully supply this need ; but I am thankful for what has already been done in the way of church extension, and earnestly hope that the work may go forward with increasing energy and success, and it is one which I heartily recommend as deserving of your cordial co-operation and support. I believe we may look for assistance and encouragement from the Christian community, so long as they see that we are faithful to cur Ministerial trust and to the prin ciples of our Reformed Church ; combating, on the on e hand, infidelity, ignorance, and vice ; and, on the other hand, guarding our flocks against the errors and super stitions of Rome, by whom the Church of England is justly regarded as the firmest bulwark of Protestantism. "In conclusion, brethren, I commend you to the grace of God, and earnestly pray that the Holy Spirit may abundantly bless your labours for the good of that Church over which He has made you overseers, to feed it with the wholesome food of His pure Word and Sacra ments ; and that, by your sound doctrine and godly example, you may save both yourselves and them that hear you. "And now, desiring your continued prayers on my behalf, I bid you, reverend and dear brethren, an affec tionate farewell. (Signed) "C. J. LONDON. " Fulham Palace, Sept. 27, 1851."

SHOCKING OCCITRRENCE -FIVE MEN SMOTHERED IN A GIN V.T. WORCESTER, SEPT. 27. A painful accident has occurred at Williams's distillery, close to the river Severn, here. Yesterday afternoon, one of the vats used to pass the spirit or waste through, and which was capable of holding from ten to fifteen thousand gallons of liquor, was empty, and preparations were being made for cleaning it. The excise supervisor, Mr. Green, got into the vat between three and four o'clock in the afternoon, and he directed some water to be pumped into it. Consequently about 1,000 gallons were pumped in, and the water was well stirred in the vessel; after which it was ran off. About half an hour after the water had run off one of the workmen, named John Drew, ascended the ladder and got into the vat for the purpose of cleansing it. Another workman, a stillman, named Henry Bough, was following, when he saw Drew fall to the bottom of the vat. Not suspecting the cause, he hastened forward to help Drew, and himself fell to the botiom of the vat. Richard Powell and Henry With followed, and they shared the same fate. 111 were suffocated immediately on entering the vat. Andrew Chambers, another workman, was about to follow, and had partially entered the hole through which access was had to the vat, when he detected a strong smell of carbonic acid gas, and retreated. A fifth man, however, named James Rogers, insisted on entering, and he, too, was sacrificed. No time was now lost in sending for medical aid, and two surgeons, Mr. H. Hill and Mr. Budd, were soon on the spot. In the meantime axes wore brought, and two holes were cut in the sides of the vat near the bottom. A largo pair of blacksmith's bellows was also brought, and air was blown into the vat. As soon as it was safe a man was let down into the vat with a rope, and one by one the poor fellows were extricated. A vein was opened in each, and a slight flow of blood followed ; the prescribed means were taken, but there were no symptoms of returning life. The appearance of the bodies was that usual in suffocation. The ears, eyes, and neck were blue, and the bodies, when placed together, presented a fearful spectacle. The names of the men were as follows : John Drew, 'Millman, aged 50. This man had worked on the premises nearly 20 years, and leaves a widow and five children. Henry Bough, aged 30, stillman ; leaves a widow and two children. Richard Powell, 60 ; had worked at the place more than 30 years. He leaves a widow and two children. Henry Witt% 40, also an old servant; leaves a widow and three children. James Rogers, labourer; leaves a widow and five or six children. The inquest was commenced this afterncon, at two o clock, at the Royal George Inn, near the works, before R. T. Rea, Esq., coroner, and was adjourned to Tuesday next.

SMALL PROPERTIES IN FRANCE. The Pays has an article touching the division of landed property in France. The writer alludes to the alimen tary crisis of late years as to "solemn warnings," and says their periodicity reveals the nature and intensity of the evil that causes them. " There is," it declares, cause, which acts as it were subterraneously, and, like the famous drop o f wa t er , wears awa y the vit a l principle this can e is no other than the unlimited division of pro perty—that division which, in less than fihy years, has raised the number of separate inscriptions for land tax" to 13 millions, and has burdened the country with eight millions of indigent proprietors ; that division which, in constituting the lowest degree of la petite culture, has rendered all agricultural enterprises upon a large scale impossible, and, therefore, helped the impoverishment of production all over the country. Here is the evil against which something must be done, and which, if it be not counteracted betimes, will grow to threaten so ciety, order, ana public prosperity. The Paris Correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, commenting on this article, says : " The absence of younger sons in a nation is, rely upon it, the absence in it of its most enterprising element. From the highest to the lowest ranks in this country all the children of a family are equally indolenS, for all have equal prospects, which few go out of their way to improve ; and those who have only a portion of indigence to expect, sit down and expect it all the same, and swell the ranks of the eight indigent proprietors.' But there is a moral disease, which is the itnmec:iate consequence of all this, and which is far too little per ceived or acknowledged in France. I allude to the grek di ne-s and baseness fostered in all Frenchmen as far as marriage is concerned. Economists coon) tell yf u that the equilibrium is retestablished by the fact of she eqtality of the wife's fortune to that brought by tie husband, but they do not see that to found marriage deliberately upon interest is to corrupt a whole nation at once, and render it incapable of one generous or ele vated sentiment. And this has been, and is, the moral consequence in France. Unless in a very few ex ceptional cases, no Frenchman, let what will be his condition, is able to dream of marrying a poor woman. His inevitable necessity is to marry a woman whose. for tune is, at least, adequate, if not superior, to his own. He cannot choose his life's companion ; he must calcu late upon what she brings him, and in the most solemn occasion of his existence, in that which is to influence the happiness and the character even of the children that may be born to him, he ;is, and must be, whatever his rank or personal inclinations, a tradesman—his marriage is invariably a bargain. Where boys are brought up from the cradle to know that they must help themselves they acquire habits of energy and activity, and rather than not share the good or evil that life may have in store for them with the woman to whom their heart is given, men, thus educated, will confront a career full of hardships, but leading through hard work to com parative ease. This produces generous natures, lofty Fouls, and the political liberties of a country run but little danger confided to the keeping of such citi zens. But of such France knows nothing. I firmly believe the Emperor to be well aware of all the mis chief attached to this system, but I doubt whether he can, whether he will dare to, touch upon it even in the slightest degree." SHOCKING HOMICIDE NEAR BATH. Jacob Francis, about 30 years of age, was on Saturday brought up before the magistrates of the county of Somer set, at their office at Bath, charged with having caused the death of a young man named Thomas Burridge, on the previous afternoon, at Charterhouse Hirton, a village about four miles from Bath. John Hales, labourer, of the parish of Welbow, deposed that he was yesterday at Chartorhouse Hinton, working with several others in a field belonging to Mr. J. Willis, in thrashing out a rick with a threshing machine. Wit ness saw them several times during the morning throwing dirt at each other in play. About half-past one o'clock Burridge was standing by the gate of the field with a bucket of water in his hand, waiting for the prisoner, who was approaching, to come up. There was a hedge between them, and as the prisoner passed through the gate Burridge threw the water from the bucket over him and then ran away in a stooping attitude. The prisoner immediately pitched a barley fork (an instrument with three prongs, each upwards of a foot in length) which he had in his hand at Burridge, who was four or five yards from him, and the prongs entered his back just below the shoulders. Witness was standing between them, but a little on one side, at the time, and Burridge turned hi s h ea d roun d, an d said to him, "John, do pull in out." The fork was then stuck in his back, the handle, which was more than a yard long, extending in a horizontal position. Witness caught hold of the handle and pulled, but Burridge came back with the force, and witness then put his foot to his back whilst he pulled, and the fork came out, and the man fell forward, blood at the same time gushing out of his mouth. Francis did not attempt to render any assistance. The deceased slightly lifted his head, as though he wanted to say something to witness, but he ran and told the de ceased's father, who was at work on the rick, what bad happened, and also stopped the machine, by telling the engineer that murder had been committed. Witness after wards saw the deceased lying in the road, and heard the other men say he was dead, but he was too frightened to go nearer to him. The deceased was about 19 years of age, and was unmarried. There did not appear to have been any angry feeling between the men, but they had been " larking" together nearly the whole day. The prisoner was remanded to Shepton Mallet Gaol for a week, to await the coroner's inquest. BOARD OF TRADE RETURNS.

THE AMERICAN FRIGATE MERRIMAC.— SOUTHAMPTON, Sept. 27.—T0-day, Mr J. B. Croskey, the American Consul at this port, paid an official visit to this gigantic steamfriv ate, and after inspecting the interior and ex changing the usual compliments with the captain and officers returned on shore, the Merrimac firing the usual consular salute. Yesterday at noon the frigate fired a salute of 21 guns in honour of the British fiat, which was returned from the platform battery. The Merrimac is beginning to attract visitors, and it is expected that during the forthcoming week she will be inspected by many scientific and professional gentlemen. For the present, owing to her immense length and great draught of water, she lies moored at some distance from the part y in order to give proper room f o r the ship to swing with out at the same time inconveniencing or impeding the regular navigation of the Southampton wat e r. Last night the commander and officers of the Merrimac were entertained at dinner by the Countess of Hard wicke, at the seat of the noble earl, near Humb le ; and today Captain Prendergast, accompanied by s ix or eight of his principal officers, all in full uniform, 'andel to pay an official visit to the Mayor of Southampton, M r . R . Andrews, by whom they wore most cordially r ece i ve d . It is expected the Merrimac will remain about four or five weeks at Southampton. In a few days the ship will be thrown open to the public, and the officers, who are a remarkably fine , inte l l i g e nt , and gentlemanly set of wen, scorn determined to offer a polite reception to any English visitors. In a previou s not i ce of the Mer rimac her tonnage w a s incorrectly s t ate d at 4.833 tons burden ; this was an i naccuracy , the ac t ua l register ton nage of the ship i s 3, 5 00, but the displacement is 4,883 toes.
