The .leaders of the rebellious troops, which amount to somewhere about 100,000 fighting-mon, take different titles, but .all pro claim their allegiance to Hienfong, the son of Heaven, and threaten to disperse to the four, inds whatever forces the Mandshoos and the Mandarin party may send against ' thern,by lapd.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-rebels (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 esp ec i a lly d angerous .' I n J anuary of the ;present year (1£156) 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 Viridian (30 deg. 45 min. 30 sec. north,.and 2 dog. 15 min 'of Pekin) ; their right wing as far as Lutahao (31 deg, 56 ruin. 57 sec. north, and 0 deg. 46 min. 50 see. east of Pekin) "in the province of Nganhoey. Numerous other hordes, who appeared• to have nothing in common. with tha " younger brother of Jesus Christ ) ", were roaming about in thenorthern parts of theprovinces Nganhoey and Kiaugsu, and in the north-eastern valleys of Ronan. 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, Min; shin, 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 diem 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 Ssetslinen there are 269 resident clans ; iu Kuangsi, 46 ; in Juunan, 50 ; and in Kueitsheoo, 81. A strong division of this interesting _ primitive population, which still perhaps lives as the 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 Kiao-fi heretical rebels. Other insurgents and hordes of banditti infested the• eastern provinces of Shantong and Ronan ; oven 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 had taken up arms, declar ing it was impossible to support any longer the oppression )f the Mandarins. This lamentable state of things in the empire had become considerably worse in the course of the mouths of February, March, and April. The surging waves of revolution mounted higher and higher. "At the confines of the provinces of Henan and Nganhoei," so we translate a passage of the report sent in to the minister of scoot police at Pekin, and which is printed in the Court Herald of April, 1836, "fresh bands of rebels have appeared. They roceived 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 kindof government. The imperial troops hwe 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 Nge.nhoei 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 sea: tered about in all directions. The recruiting officers of the in- surgopty traverse the land with their standards, and call the multitude to arms, so that the force of these robels alone is now more than 100,003 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. lu utter despair thesejoin tho ranks of the rebels, ;IA scour the country in every direction." There wa3 good deal of fighting in the neighbourhood of Nankin and Tshinkiang during the ihontlis of May and June. Tho Tai Ping remained victors, the Imperialists were compelled to raise tho siege, and their enemies now make incursions as far as the district immediately round Shanghai. The suc- cess of the robber hordes and rebels was no lesa decisive in several of the eastern and western provinces, but tha details of these enwements would lead us too far, and would be of little interest to the European resider. It important that the Mandshoos are now themselves con vinced of their inability to subdue these increasing fore of the rebels by means of the regular army. A deJr.-e of the Emperor Hienfong, of March 25, calls to arms all th) males of the Mongol clans who dwell south of the Gibi desert, which thus are named by the Chinese, the Inner Mongols. The chiefs of these ckns aro to hasten rapidly to the aEsistance 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 ye:►r ISI2. In these tho Mongols subject to the " most pure dynasty" were classified in 47 clans, who again are subdi vided into 110 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 oleos scattered over various parts. The men capable of bearing arms in all three Mongolian tribes subject to the Mandshoo dynasty were then emtimated at 274,2 5. The situation of affairs again seems very threatening in the province of Kwantong. The Hong Kong p &pars 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 punetwdly 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 II ikkas. A friend of ours (says the China Mai' of July 10), who visited the western coast a short time ago, found whole ditr. tricts in the hands of rebellious Hakkas. The atrocities pet - 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 won-ion and girls they carry off as captives. The females of these ferocious combatants, hardened by a life of exposure iu the fields, take a very active part in these frightful scenes. Eye-witnesses state that they are far more cruel than the man. In the province of Kuangsl, which has been many years in a disordered state, and frog► which Hong Siutsiuen marched out to conquer the empire, the rebellion has raised its head higher than ever. There the Imperialists have lost several battles. The fugitives, on reac hing Canton, gave out that the rebels were i❑ hot pursuit, and would shortly appear before the gates of this provincial capital; but these reports wore exaggerated. I 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 •.w'e are here only superficially alludiug to. Trade is at a stand at shanghai, according to letters from the merchants, who are afraid lest the place should agiiin 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. °pilaw 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 ►uxious feeling. This feeling is entertained, firstly, by the rulers of India, who derive large profits from the ox portation of the opium poison, and to whom it is especially important now when their budget is sufleriog from a de icit—which deficit, by the bye, has been considerable of t; t to 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 .chew they shall have been completed. In the financial year of 1853.1854 this deficit amounted to 2,044,1171., ..nd in the following year to 1,708,627/. sterling. The President of the Board of Control, ,in other words, the Indian Minister, gave his estimate of the ddeit 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 Eugdsh merchants complain of the diminished demand fol. their goods iu 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 sears 'past have not been able t', obtain rernotterative pekes for the 'tura they'seut to the Shanghai market, now forward them to New York, where the sale is profitable. Consequently lin that, the second commercial capital of the world, everal wealthy houses have joined to acquire a mono• poly of the fur trade. If the Htu'son's Bay Company b nclined, as is reported, to sill 'a part of their rights to he Union, the plan of theae . speculating Americans at Neu York may easily be carried out. It is to this object we must refer an act of the last Congress at Washingtob, 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 1816. Lastly, the English bankers corn plain of the continued efflux of the precious metals, both coinage and bullion, to the East Indios and to China In the first half-year of 1856 this-drain to Malta, Egypt, India, and China, • am oun t e d 'to 5,100,6331., of which only 201,7251. was in gold, the whole sum being an excess bf 2,586,6271. over the first half-year Of 1855. ,The export ation iu the second half-year seems, however, to be still greater. By the last mail alone (Sept. 4) there wits sent from England, and on Englisla.acconnt, 835,4001., of which only 26,803/. was in gold, the rest in dollars, to the 'East, for China—a fact very naturally to be explained by the high rato of exchange. If they reckon the dollar in Canton at 35., this is nearly two florins of convention money. The so-called Carolers dollar stood so high at Shanghai iu the beginning of June that the East India Company, for bills on India, demanded 355 rupees per 100 dohs., equal to about 446 tflorins 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 sabject must long have perceived an uneasy tone prevailing in the leading public organs of these two great commercial nations, sometimes ou the question of the Montshoo 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 I 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 Chinese, now that their empire stands wish 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-lace station shortly after half-past 8 oVock on Wednesday night, was proceeding at a rapid pace toward s th e 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 tearful; 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 beiug partially turn up. The passenger train consisted of three carriages, and the number of passengers did not ex ceed 20. All were more or less injured, and some, it is feared, fatally; but up to the time of the reporter's writing no.deliths had taken place. T:l3 driver of the passe .• ger train, seeing a et dilsion 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 Larful, but all were removed and surgical assistance was afforded as promptly as possible. The following is a list of the injured : J. Balton. driver of r he passenger train, laeoratedwegt coo tused wound Over ,lus•-• and Itlt eye, with other minor injuries, and genera! shock to the system. Mrs. Turner, of • Kates.llll, Dudley, cangercusly in• jur d, cmcus,ion ut the brain, contused and lacerated wou,ds on the face, neck, and shoulders. Mr. ►lxrrisuu, merchant, Dudley, severe injury of the ch st, but whether any ribs are brAen is nut yet asder- ,ained. Sarah Sherlock, servant, Dudley, injury of the left leg and both knees ; depression ft otn fright and concus• ion. Mrs. Hughes, innkeeper, Kingswinford, kneecap broken and other it jurie Betsy L!eweilyn, aged 12 years,- of Kates-hill, Dud• ley, euneusbion. - W. Steel, glass-cutter, Brettel-lane, severe injury of the shoulder. Mr. J. Dew, commercial traveller, Wahall, extensive contusion of the right leg. Mr. T. Bray, traveller, Birminghain, severe contusion of the right leg► and knee. Mr. W. Lovett, Dock, Dudley, dislocated shoulder. Mr. S. Higgins, of Netherton ; Mr. J. Granger, of Netherton ; and Mr. H. Brtudley, of Wolverhamptoc, were also much shaken and bruised. Two surgeons, dr. Beatty and Mr. Cowper, - were prikuiptly on the spot, and ren lered valuable assista , ice and advice to the sufferers, who were conveyed to the Oldbury station, where every requisite accommodation wac provided by Mr. Beswick, the station-ma-ter. Mr. Turner and S..rah Sherlock were convepwi to the Boat Inn near, and the passengers resident at Dudley and Netherton were conveyed thither by a spe cial train. Assistance being obtained the line was soon &tued and the traffic resumed. The cause of tae accident is traceable to the ras'iness 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 S 20, and passed in proper tone, at§ 20. Immediately afterwards, although there were only 12 minutes to spare, the down express being due at 8 32 the tngine 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 slipperiness of the rails from a fall of rain, when the express train came up and dashed into the go ids train with a fearful crash. It appears that the danger signals were heisted to warn the approaching express train iif the obstacle, but it is said that the engine -driver (Bolton) did not perceive them until too late to avoid a collision. The officials, I f cour-e, will institute an inquiry, for the accident will c telr the company no inconsnierab!e stun in compemation to parties injured and in damage to the line and rolling stock. It is almost feared that an official inquiry of another character wict result, two cr three of the passengers being in a very critical state WHAT A DOG DOES WITH HIS TAIL —What an absur 1 as well as barbarous act to cut otf a dog's tail ; you might jast as well cut out his tongue. In fact, a dog `talks far less with his tongue than h does with his tail. With hls tail a dog expresses not only gratitude, as FA° did, but h ire, entreaty, complacence, aff,ction, 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 CASE OF CRUELTY.--At the Devon County Sessions, on Thursday, before Sir John Duckworth, Ba! t., chairman, the wife of a respectable farmer, named Grills, re..iding near Slapton, in the south of D :V WI, was charged with assaulting and ill-treating her vervact UMW d Fanny Square Keys, an intelligent c ills, 14 years of age. - Mr Byre was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Carter defended the prisoner. It appeared that the girl Keys bad been a pauper in the Kingshridge union, whence the prisoLer took her as her servant. She had " to tend the , pigs and calves and to look after a little child." At tke beginning of hay harvest the pri soner knocked the poor child's area with a large stick and broke one of the bones ; and on one occa-ion, 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 eat the child on the hot irons upon which the saucepan had rested. scalding her so severe'y 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 hand and inflicted several blows upon it with the fist p!irt of a knife, but while dining so the edge of the instrument struck three of her fiogers and cut them severely. About the seine time the prisoner beat her over the lead 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 priso• ner's orders, that she was very well treated and liked her place, but she said she did this because she was so much afraid of her mistress. Ono of the witnesses for the prosecution, being a friend of the prisoner's, refused , to give evidence, and a fine of 5/. 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 nut been chastised so se ver,ly as alleged. The jury, however, found the prise• ner guilty, and she was sentenced to six months' Wiwi. sonment, ENGLAND AND FRANCE. At the free trade blnquet given by the Council General of the ilerault at Morapolier" on Saturday M. Michel ChevAlier made an interesting speech in proposing the health of Queen Victoria. He said : • "Few reigns, indeed, have bees 1113.1:id by acniet4- inents so considerab'e and so happy. To rec , unt, even in the most seminary manner, all the grear things that have ben done undrr this reign wqu Id be the weft:, of lone hours. Anroad, for example, - one would have to speak , :f those conques , s in tar distant regions whiel - . had ag grandised the An to Indian empire—conqa , .sts which numanity might applaud without reserve, for they had had for their effect to'stihstitute for the inept, extortion ate, and cruel Government of the native princes the milti• And equitable rule of a European nation distinguished for it 4 intelligence find morality.

After a reference to the rapid colo nisation of Australia and to the present peaceful state of lielanO, where the pe late,. without having parch sed the privilege by any social or political.sacrifice, r r u t sod the religion of their fathers, which was not tint of the State, M. Chevalier said be 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 more,particularly inteiested:: 7 •Under qieen Victoria's Government an entire ehaige had been erotitht in the policy of England. The English p`o;icy w:th regard t Fraiitee had been base] upon the aph,ristst that the pro ,sperity and greatness of England were incomp ttible with octal ; and in the-Cabinet of Versaille quite as much as in the Cabinet of St. James's, it was a priemple, a maxim, an article of faith, that for France to be gnat Eng:aiol must be lowered. These narrow-Minded docti in s, which had caused so much hlo',d and so many tears to b shed, were, now repudiated. He thought v:ere had never teen a political event which enlightened minds and geneious . sotils could so heartily rejoice in 'having been witnesses Of as this transformation in the ideas of Euro pean Cabinets, and mere especially the harmonious and ,ympathetic accord between England and France. Ti l e nientiship of Fra-ce and England was, in th; words of ;he poet, `a'present frnni the gods,' not only to each nation, but also to the world, for it was the innst solid zuarantee for the 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 Rot be associated and united but for the accoc.plishineet of great design.., and the _maintenance of justice upon the earth: The Eawern war had written the proof of this in characters of item and fire. Queen Victoria bad pursued Viis ac cord during many years With an unflinching constancy which deserved all gratitude. But, whatever night have been said or thought to he contrery, it was then ;ht impossible that the alliance could be conSnein aced and become truly cordial before the present day. It was praiseworthy in tradesmen to wish for the alliance, JAIL in France the national sympathy could not till now r spond to the call of political men. We feat that we were the vanquished of Waterloo, and that by the treaties of 1815 we had been stripped of the rank which we had held for nenturiee in Europe. Under these circumstances the English alliance, whatever goodwill there might hate been on the part of the two ,Govern inents, could never have been an alliance on a footing of This the public confideuce. knew and tilt, and yet it would never have accepted the al.iance on any other terms. Now all was changed. We were no lquger the var.quished of Europe. We had reco vered 0urw...1ve, , , and we had a right to h Id our heads so high that no nation in the - world could consider la tssif above us. The Emperor, to whom the ultional will freely confided our destinies, belouged to that family which the treaties of 1815 deposed and prc. ..cribed with multiplied threats and pre..amions to tvair,tin their work. As to the disa,ter of Waterloo, we bad effaced the rec dlection of it by the frat,rnity of arms. He would say more—we had taken in the Valley of Inkerman a brilliant revenge—a r:L.veege such as became a chivalrous and Chri, , tian ration ; for, if in France the people were de ighted to bear witness that our brave allies where heroic on that glorious day by their intrepidity and solidity, Eneand proclaims thLt 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 repro ichtd 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. „Whoa Queen Victoria ascended the throne the protec tionist sptern was an idol before which the civilised world lay procerate in an u.ooude of co tur0.,;..... Duo an idol with meet of c.y, fur there is no solid founda- eon but in sound principles. At the period when Qaeen Victoria attained lor majority there appeared on the borizOn a pleiad of generous men, till the:, obseur , , but ' worthy of a glorious celebrity, and destined to obtain it b) their undaunted courage, their patriotism, and their perseverance —their perseverance, a great qn ,lity, with out which nothing could be done, and which was espe cially worthy of imitation in this matter. These new men struggled resolutely against the protective system. In 1846 a statesman was Lund s‘itla mind and heart enough r.o!emirly ta,aljure the prote:tionist opinions which he had profes-ed for 30 years, and with power encugh to draw after him the majority of the party whio had shared his belief. Obedient to his voice, the English Parliament, with that admirable vigour which characteii-ed the English nation, earried these opinions i ego practice. The rsvolution• was made without asking for reciprocity from any other nation, because frets trade, even wi hoot reciprocity, was recognised to be a great pubiic beoefit, and the advantages of the c'lange 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. Most Governments had a'ready begun to follow the example. At this moment Europe and the world were in suspense. •They fixed their e%es 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 au arm maly, for history attested that it was originally adopted as a war measure against England. Now that the bitter rivalry of the two peoples hal given plat: to a frank and cordial friendship the system must in 11 1 1 logic dis appear. If it wire Objected to him that it was riot for France servilely to imitate England he would answer first, that all true and generous ideas belonged to no people in particular, but were the common patrimony of humanity. But, in adopting free trade, France would imitate no one, for it was the only system compatible with the immoral principles of 1789 ; and thirty years before Sir Robert Peel raised the en andarcl fit free trade the Emperer Napoleon, in his exile on the reek of St. Helena, protinunced these memorable and pr-. iihetic words, recordel by the Memorial de Sx.nte He. lene, of June 12, 1,816:--` We must for the iuture fad baca upon free navigation and an entire liberty of nei versal exchange.' lie concluded by proposing 'The Health of Queen Victoria ; the rerpetuity of the Anglo- French Alliance ;' and, he added, under tht. auspices of Napoleon 1., ' the universal adoption and gradual prat. tics in all countries of the principles of free trade,'" ( The above speech was received with lou 1 cheers. TEE CHURCH" DISPUT4. AT WEST IiAtiTLEPOUL. The following memorial, frArt the cor.gregation of Christ Church, was presented to the Bishop of Durham, at Auckland Castle, on Tuesday last : CHRIST CHURCH, WEST ILIRTLEPOOL. "To the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Durham. " My Lord,—We, the undersigned, being route's and in occupiers of pews 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 th'e same time to con vey to your lordship the expression of our deep and unal terable conviction that, from circumstances to which we need not more specifically allude, the usefulness of Mr. Burges, as a minister of the Church of England, in West Hartlepool, is et au end ; and we therefore must earnestly intreat your lordship to adopt such measures as to your lordship may seem meet, for relieving him 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 Mt. Bur gee has intimated to us his intention of bolting his present position so long only as he shall continue to receive the sanction of your lordship's countenance ani support. —And your memorialists will ever pray." We copy below his Lordship's reply, which was for. warded to the mem:rialists on the same day : " Auckland Castle, Sept. 16, 1856. "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. Borges, earnestly ad vising him to resign. Receiving no answer, I wrote to him Lgaiu on the 9th, reiterating my advice ; and I shall today again urge him not to delay his resignation. I do not understand, after his public declaration, how he can re main after such a positive intimation of my opinion and wishes ; but I am not aware that I have the power of com pelling him to resign while a doubt remains respecting the validity of his licence.

Last night, at a few minntes .before 8 o'clock, a fire, attended with the destructkn f eraitbc:usand pounds' It?, of property; and whic) sas not extimo...tleo at nearly two o'oldlok moroing. happened in the pit miles belonging •to Messr..

Something, but what it was could not be ascertained, exploded, at ,c 1 'made a great noise, can-lug terrible con tusion throughout the densely packed neighb :urh god: The ward schools of Candlewick and -Dowgate being next door,' the roof soon took fire, when the mistre ss o f 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 Sayan Tavern. TLe inmates of the warehouse, as far as can be ascer tallied, st:c.ieedal in effecting their escape, some by g-tting over the roof,' other.' b J running down stairs, and .some by getting out of tl e wind )w. With a 4 little delay as po-sibtw the engines of the Londcn Brigadei,the powerful flowing engine, under the command of Eoginen .

The fire, however, in spite of everything done to arrest it, c )ntinued to spread, and at one period , t was feared tmt the fl:tmes wou:d extend as far as Fishmongers' Br dint of great exertion on the part of the .fireman, by half-past one o'clock, tee flames began per eptibly t. , diminish, but they were far from beinc , entirely extin guished, and even so late as two o'clock this morning, the fire had not been entirely sublued. Among t he.nunot rails suff,Ters by this disastrous event is Mr. 0. Dow, machine-ruler ; who has bad all his goods removed and greatly injured by breakage and water, and, unfortunately, he is ueinsured. The factory of Messrs. Matthews i 4 nearly destroyed, and the damage 'lone to surrounding premises, especially those of Messrs. Berwick and Co., Scotch ale merchants, and others, must amount to several thousand p minds. Tae 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 eff-ct of saving the Old Shades Tavern, and cutting off the fire in the direction of the Fishmongers' Hall. • The greatest praise is due to the firemen, and also to Superintendent Connorton, of the WeSt of E 'gland Office, as well as to the police under Superintondent liodgeoll and Inspectors Newnham and Shepherd, who kept the tremendous crowd out of danger. As to whe ther or not the sufferers were iu.ired, nothing definite could be ascertained during the excitement and confusion which prevailed. THIS ItaPERIAL COURT IN THE PYRENEES. BIARRITZ, SEPT. 16. The Emperor and Empress, with a few attendants, left Uri- place at 1 o'clock yesterday, with the intention of pro ceeding to Bidacete, and visiting the ruins of the ancient castle of the Dukes of Graturnont. Bidache is situate on the Bidonge, a small tributary of the Nive, which is itself the capricious tributary of the Adour. The party went in two chars a•bunc ; but as they reached Camp de i'rats the Empress was seized with cramps in the stomach, which had the effect of interrupting the excursion. At Camp de Prats there is an asytuai fora certain number destitute ehd wen and wouirm, and which is managed by women. On arrivinu at this irs , mit the Buil,. e• 24, whalne nuff...ring6 did not permit her So continue her journey, demanded hospitality. The superioress, a ho was ignorant of the rank uf the persons who claimed her kind office, has tened to afferde‘ery tssistauce in her power. Her Majesty was conducted. by tier to the inner apartments, and ev, ry 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 as " Your Ma jesty," that she was aware of the presence under her hos pitable roof of such exalted personages. The poor lady was quite bewildered ; she made a thousand apologies for hav ing addressed tt'e:n as " Monsieur," and " Madame," but the Emperor good-Latin ediy set her at rest, arid begged that she would consider them as simple wayfarers, and nothing more. The Empress was soon relieved from her sufferiugs, and the excursion persevered in. The Emperor asked permission to inspect the place, which was of course accorded. Ne expressed his admiration of the magnificent situation. Camp de Prats stands on the beautiful emi nence situated between the Adour and the Nice. Nothing can he more beautiful than the prospect. On on side the Nice, dividing Bayonne into two unequal parts. fresh from its mountain home, passes 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 bich receives tnem 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 Pyreuees in the distance from a pan,rama which can, hardly be surpassed anywhere. The Empress's indisposition soon passed off, but iti was thought advisable not to continue the journey, and the order was given to return to Biarritz. The Emperor. warmly thanked the superioress for her attention, and! lett 400 francs, 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 accident like.thati which occurred'yesterciay. THE GENOA TRA NS TLANTIC STEAM COM PANY'S PLEET. A trial trip of one of the ships composing this company's fleet was bad on ureday. company is established to term a communication bet weep Genoa and South America, and between Genoa and the United States, and it is in tended to have four shipsfor each eervice. Übe ship which had her trial trip is called the " Genova," com manded by Captain Napoli. She is a screw steamer, three masted, and barque rigged with wire ropes; her length is 265 feet, breadth 38 feet, and depth of held 28 feet, drawing when loaded 20 feet. Her burden le 1852 ton., holders' measurement, and she can carry Iron) SOO t ) 904 tons of cargo and from 700 to 800 tons ~f coat in the bunkers, besides which she has capacity for 60 first-class, 100 second, and 200 third-ela-s .pa sengerie Tier engines are of 300-horse power, nominal,: the engines are of the direct-Acting principle with two piston-rode 2 feet 6 inches stroke, and making 60 strokes per minute. The diameter of the cylinder is 55 inches ; the screw-propeller is 15 feet diameter and 19 feet pitch. There ere four boiler.; 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. A. , h, and huilt by Messrs. Mare and Co., under the direction of Contain Ford, formerly in the service of the General Screw Steam Company, and lately employed by the Turkish Government. She has a p , op d, ck and raised forecastle. The saloon is of the full widt , i of the ship, and is lighted from the port-boles and a com panion !anthem on deck ; it has 6 ft. 10 in. headeray, and is superbly fitted, the decorations being io mai:le 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 oiem, besides a separate apparatus fer the cooking room, whice will supply 150 gallons. Altogether, whether in respect of comfort, convenience, or elegance, the Genova is one of the beat 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. Maudalay, Mr. Joshua Field, Mr. G. B. Rennie, Capt. Mackinnon, RN., Mr. Petroni, and other scientific gentlemen. The trial was not one of !Teed, but iu order to ascertain that her engines acted properly and that the vessel was in working trim. Her engines, therefore, were not kept at full speed, bet she made about 12 knots an hour. The engines at first worked a little stay, 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 ebe trip and with the per f•irmance of the vessel. This is the third ship of the &et which has been completed. The two first, which are named the Vic' oer Emmanuel and the Count de Cavour, were built by :;he came firm (the engines by Messrs. Rennie), have beers engaged in. the Crimea in the French transport service, from which they are now dis engaged, and are being made ready e,o take their sta• tions on the line ; a foureli ship is being built also at the ship-yard of Messrs. Mare, whose business, we under stand, is now conducted by au ass eciation of engineers, and she is expected to be laianched.on the 15th proximo. LIVERPOOL, Snpr. 20.

The dates are Oinoa, July 30, and Truxillo, August 12. The inauguration of Walker's Administration in. Nicaragua had excited much uneasiness, and flow , duras was busily engaged in raising troops to join the league formed by Guatemala, Costa Rioa, and Sau Salvador against him. All Americans were suspected, and a deeitte had boon issued ordering none of them to land in the republic. The, T.TnitPd states' consul had protested against the execution of this decree and forwarded copies of the paper the Cabinet in Washington. New gold placeri had been opened west of Truxillo, and $2O per day were earned in them. An immense Republican meeting had been held at Rochester, at which about 30,000 perst.ns were present.

So, pausing in the steady, au" po , .sibly somewhat mount mous flow of 11;s oratory, he broke forth wilt this personal ad r •ss, thirp and clear, but very deliberate :—" Swan !" Susan ened her eyes end ears in a twtolcing. as did alt other dr,arners in the house, whether asleep or awake. "Stia't ! I didna marry ye for your wealth, since ye hae'd nane ; and I oi.lna niatry ye for your beauty— that the ha 1 congregation eau see ; a nd if vs have no grace I have w a de but a eair bargain."—Salad for the Social. HOSPITALS, more thac any other buildings, demand the most careful arrangements—not merely for the-am ple supply of air, I ut to !n ure that the air so sappned he pure. So little has tins been a•tended to in days gone by that therd are many hospitals in this noun. 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 leading E linburgh professor, in some recently-published " Mee moles," says --" I have often stated and taugLt that, if our pres , nt medical, sargical, and obstetric I o pitals were chaos ed, from bawg crowded palaces with a layer of sick in each flat, into villages or cottages with one, o r at mot two patients in each room, a great saving of human life would be effected. And if the village were constructed of iron (as is now sometimes done for tattier purposes), instead of brick or stone, it could be taken down and rebuilt every few years ; a matter, apparently, of much moment in lristiital hygiene. Besides, the value of the mat, rial would not greatly deteriorate from use—the principal outlay would be in the first cost of it. It could be erected in any vacant space or spaces cf ground, within or around a ci ty,that chance to be unoc copied ; and, in cases of epid em i cs , th e accom modation could always be at once and readily increased." There is value in the hint, but it is only in exceptional oases that it could be resorted to. Hospitals must still be erected, and we must take care that every avail able means be used to render them healthful and fit for 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 have been avoided. With respect to the vital irn7ortance of fresh air for the maintenance of lite, it would ready seem as if the world were not to be convinced on this bead.— The Builder. JII si-' ±1 ~i _,.~__ 12th.
