Convinced that the circulation of Literary Journals was restricted by high price, and that every advan tage offered to the public would bring increase of circulation and authority, the Proprietors reduced the price one-half—to Fourpence. Tile experiment succeeded, and cheap Literary Journals became His rule. The Proprietors have always held to the principle then proved. They have given to the public the benefit of every change in the law, increasing the size without increase cf price, until the average has become double its former size above ninety-six columns. The Proprie' ore, taking advantage of the abolition of the Paper Duty, therefore resolved that from the sth of October the price of TILE ATHENZEUM should be reduced to THREEPENCE. - c HE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE fully explained In J.

(From the Special Correspondent of the Times.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 29, The North is now threatened with a civil war in which speeches and newspaper articles may lead to bloodshed, or at all events to a most serious quarrel among the Unionists. Months ago I wrote to you that the struggle was surely coming, and that there would be a contest to turn the war for the Union, or, as Earl Russell said, for power —into a war for the abolition of slavery. Read the speeches at the New York meeting of the Hon. Charles Sumner and his friends—read the proceed- ings when the St. Louis sword was presented to Fremont, and the testimonial addressed to him, which dedicates the weapon to his use " in the re- organisation of a great and free country." A sword, an actual weapon of steel, to be wielded in battle for what was styled at the Cincinnati demonstration a higher standard than the " Stars and Stripee.'' This contest is already denominated the " abolition war" against the Government, and it is assuming formidable proportions. The Secession organs de nounce it with affected indignation, and the Go- vernment is urged to seize Mr. Sumner and to sup press the anti-slavery journals of New York, on the ground that they are more dangerous than Mr. Jefferson Davis, or the Secessionist papers which were " put down" by mob law or the United States ost-office. The Government is accused in mass meeting, 'amid" iiiiinenge chtering. of "an infamous, sneaking, crawling policy, which replaces the elective watchword sounded by Fremont for this great nation." Assuredly, if he be thus encouraged he General is not the man to remain quiet or to bear his temporary disgrace with equanimity. If it were not that a great nation is suffering the throes which the eye of the most experienced statesman may mistake for those of dissolution, it would be amusing to mark the demeanour of the quacks who have brought about the terrible disorders of their unhappy patient. They are all clasping their hands together or tearing their hair, or shaking their fists at their rivals, and crying out, " Our nostrum would have saved glorious Mr. Union ! It was the horrid abolitionists did it all ! It was the trucklers to slavery who are responsible. If Greeley's Bitters or the Lincoln Tonic had been used in time he might have been saved. Oh ! this faction, this ,errible faction ; how it has marred our worthy patron." These faction-mongers and dealers in demagogy affect to deplore the results of their own acts. Qum tulerit Gracciws de eeditione querentes ? And such Gracchi—the most sordid, uneloquent, unlovely creatures that ever crawled through the corrupted passages of a rotten body politic—for where they touch is corruption and rottenness. Fortunately, they have not come in contact with the mass of American humanity—it is still sound and healthy; but if the locomotive crashes through the bridge, the train may follow after it. In this crisis of an Imperial destiny, the Now York papers are engaged in a fierce controversy about the election of tht Mayor, and amid the usual personalities of their daily strife there are introduced extraneous questions arising from personal rivalry and abuse, which compel the wonder of those who know the character and feelings of citizens of New York. How can they tolerate such degrading controver sies ? What interest can they take in the castiga tion which " the scarred veteran of Plum Gut," " the sulphurless Scotch renegade" of one journal, receives from " the little villain" or " the Hon. Massa Greeley," or what use is it to elaborate columns of demonstration of a fact patent to any one who has been unfortunate enough to read it, that one paper has the art of concentrating every objec tionable ingredient that can be found in a licentious press into a diurnal concrete of rascality and nasti ness ? Let facts speak far themselves, and let the best possible instructors turn to work more worthy of their mission. There is no sign of life in the army here ; some movements of regiments to the other side, to be drilled in face of the enemy, and. the usual " recog nizances," as they are called here by some of the people. It was hoped that General M'Clellan would win a victory for Congress, but they must "bide a wee" in spite of the confident assertions that he was preparing for a great blow to be delivered before the Capitol threw open its gates to the senators and re presentatives of all that is left of the United States. That he can resist the pressure which is brought against him is a proof that he is made of good stuff. But it is not proof that he is a general. The hand of his fate is upon General M'Clellan, and whether it be for good or for evil the world will soon know. But, assuredly, the Secession organ of New York indicates clearly, in denunciations of the abolition rebellion of Fremont, that civil war within a civil war which has yet to fight its battles. The Congress will meet in two days after this letter has been sent from the Capitol. Will it be unani mous in the mode of prosecuting the war ? Will it be unanimous in its view of the object to be gained, and of the means of attaining it ? The signs of the times are indeed ominous. Storms and clouds and darkness sweep over Stars and Stripes, and the weary mariners cry out for some master hand at the helm, some certain port to sail for, some compass to guide them. If the masters are incompetent the crews will rise and depose them. The armies of the North may win battles, but there is no voice loud enough to pierce through the cheers of the victors, and tell them where they must plant their eagles. And wherever they turn no friendly eye meets the glance of the great Republic in its hour of trial. Russia indeed may beg her to be assured that re publicanism in trouble has the sympathy of despotism in trouble, but 'tis " a far ery to Loch Awe." The tone in which England is spoken of is unfriendly enough, but it would be wrong to think that the press represents public feeling without large excep tions on that point. Still, the leaven is working ; every opportunity is taken to stir it up, and actual warfare could scarcely engender more menaces and threatenings. The Mason and Slidell affair seems to be dismissed from men's minds, but they are wait- ing anxiously for the account of the reception of the news from England, and affect to believe it must be received without irritation or surprise there. Captain Wilkes is, as I said he would be—and indeed not a shred of the prophetical mantle was needed to inspire the prediction—a hero at once, and the photographers are upon him. He has been receiving a dinner and making a speech, which in mercy or in justice is not reported, but it is de scribed as rapid and compendious, and the para graphlsviiiSlidell s a declaredn relating d Ai r. t Mason ait hes states—mark own o zufl this—that d , ,could ha removedy e s c: om a w p r t .. . theynot a pass from the Government (perhaps Governor) General." Of what ? Of Cuba or of the Confede rcaatpetStates statement? ilke T s he saiaan yth in g i s of f the inexplicable, k i but nd i i t f shows clearly he felt he had no right to seize Mr. Slidell and Mr, Mason as common enemies, as contraband of war carriers, or as " ambassadors ;' but that he made them prisoners because they were not provided with some mysterious document or another, of which no one ever heard before. It is quite evident why Captain Wilkes is made a hero. The discharge of an ordinary well understood duty does not entitle any man to such honours oven in America. If the act were not one of defiance and outrage, let us say not on the law, but on the well understood principles regulating international comity and usage, there would have been no heroism about it. It is remarked with something like an air of astonishment, or with satisfaction, according to the tone of the reporter, that Mr. Mason is not up roariously convivial, or that Mr. Slidell is not in the prison. One is reminded of Dickens's story about the Cockney who denied that the French were at all lighthearted or gay, because ho had Hee - n 2,000 of them prisoners in an English hulk, and not one had a smile on his face. The captives are treated, it is said, in the same way as other prisoners; but I must really protest against the notion which is prevalent here—if lam to juige from the assertions in some of the principal papers—that political offen ders in England are "thrown into the dungeons of the Tower, heavily chained and ironed," or that they are used like felons. Mr. O'Connell had what our American friends call "a very nice time of it" in Richmond ga obto d even Brigadier-General Meagher could testify that he and his fellow prisoner 3 were not treated with harshness or indignity in their Irish prisons by the " myrmidons" of the British Government. Da not be in the least alarmed at the statement in one of the malignant enemies of the peaceful re lations of the United States and England, that Lord Lyons has in the smallest degree violated the letter or the spirit of the most honourable neutrality. The " excited President and Cabinet," who stared over the "rebel documents" brought by a distinguished military officer from Fortress Monroe, and dis covered that Lord Lyons in his official capacity was a mere agent for forwarding despatches from the Confederates through British Consular agents in the South, must really feel rather ashamed of these falsehoods at their cost. As to the British Minister, it would seem that certain American journals of the type which has reduced the Cis-Atlantic press to a degree of powelessness without a parallel in jour nalism, imagine that he is a mere peg to hang scandals upon, and that he is bound to notice every lie which the poverty of intelligence or the richness of imagination of their - agents may lead them to in vent. There are the most positive orders in the Chancellery of the Legation prohibiting the At taches, or others, from even writing to any of our own Consuls in the South or sending letters under any pretence to the Southern States, and the Con sular agents are ordered most positively not to affix their seals to any private correspondence. One of these gentlemen, without authority, sent a few commercial letters to Lord Lyons for transmission. But the British Minister at once sent them to Mr. Seward, the Secretary of State, and informed him that he would have nothing to do with forwarding them. Nothing, however, can abash or shame these scandalous mythologists. Confute a hundred times, the "creature's at his dirty work again? , The French Consul at New Orleans, as I am in formed, still sends commercial letters for French subjects by the cruisers, without any difficulty or restriction, and not a word is said. Once more I have to record the effects of the care lessness and military ignorance of the volunteer officers of the Federalists, which have led to another small disaster. A squadron of the 3d Pennsylvania Cavalry, proceeding from camp on the right centre of the Federal position, rode gallantly along a narrow road beyond Vienna towards Hunter's-mills, which was known to be in the hands of the enemy, and rode on and on till they were suddenly received with musketry from a house and the neighbouring ditches and hedges. The horses were not used to musketry, nor the men used to the horses, and just as they were galloping away from the unpleasant neighbourhood they were met by a body of cavalry, and the result was that 30 men were killed, wounded, or reported missing by the survivors in a few minutes. After a time the 'men will refuse to go on these little murder parties. As an offset to the loss on the Federal side they brought in a horse belonging to an officer who was killed by Private Beatty, on the saddle of which is marked "D. S. Davis, Ridgway, North Carolina." The names of the captured or killed indicate an Irish origin. A more fortunate exploration was made by Colonel Bayard, with a party of the Ist Penn sylvania Cavalry, in the same district to a place called Drainsville, where they captured an unfortu nate lover—one Captain William Farley, aide-de camp to General Bonham, who had visited the village on a private mission connected with a fair lady—some Secessionist civilians, and another officer. On their return they were fired upon by the Confederates; the leader's horse was killed, and himself wounded in two places, and the surgeon who accompanied the force was dangerously, if not mortally, wounded ; but a portion of the men were dismounted, and advanced into the cover where the Confederates were concealed, killing, they say, three, and taking three prisoners. General M'Clellan is called upon to prevent these irregular expeditions, which, in general, have terminated disastrously for the Federalists, partly because as the aggressive force they are more exposed to surprises, and partly because their officers do not know how to conduct the men in their charge. Nov. 28. If I am to judge by premonitory symptoms, there is reason to think the Federal army on the other side of the Potomac will experience some of the hard ships which fell to the lot of the English army in the Crimea. There was only a night's rain, and that not very heavy, to moisten the earth, but the roads were very heavy in the bottoms and lowlands, and the ground around the cavalry camps which I passed in a ride along the lines at the other side of the Chain-bridge to-day was already in a miserable state, sticking in the Balaklava style to the heels of man and horse, or trampled into a profound paste. Long trains of commissariat carts were drawn with difficulty by their fine teams over the deeply-rutted roads. But what will there be to endure when the winter sets in with all its rigour ! The snow does not lie long enough to admit of sleighing, but it falls in large quantities, and deluges of rain some times break the monotony of the frost. From the West there is no news of importance. It is believed that General Halleck will move his column to Tennessee by land, so as to assist and be assisted by the Federal troops in Kentucky, and when he has reached the main roads communicating with the river he will move along pari passu with the river. The river is falling rapidly. The gun boats which are to draw five feet of water, are not yet completed, and already the shallows below St. Louis are covered with less than six feet of water. The most sanguine do not think that the expedition will succeed in " evolving the Union sentiment" in Tennessee satisfactorily till the beginning of March ; but tax-gathering will be in season beforo that time comes, and the results may have something to say to the expedition if it has not gone further and fared better. In Kentucky the Federalists make no pro gress at present, and General Sherman, by the last accounts, was at St. Louis, consulting with General Halleck on the plan of the campaign. Gen. Burnside's expeditionary force is gathering at Annapolis, where eight regiments are already assembled, which will be augmented by four more in a few days. But, as yet, the force is not by any means complete. As upwards of 20 heavily-armed gunboats are attached to it, with pontoon bridges, troop boats, and field artillery, it is obvious that some very considerable object is in view, and men's speculations run along the coast for hundreds of miles from the Potomac and James River to Now Orleans. The stone fleet has not been heard from up to this date, but it is probable there will be news from it by way of New York before the packet sails. Charleston and Savannah—both are one—are stated to be the new Sebastopols which will be closed up by the enemy outside, instead of by the defenders. Burnside's expedition will not be ready for a long while to come, and it is doubtful, indeed, if the authorities have yet made up their minds respecting its destination. The General is an active and enter priEing man, 37 years of age, and is a graduate of West Point, though he has not been in the service for the last eight or nine years. He was at the battle of Manassas, and behaved with coolness and courage in that affair, and though one may demur to the statement that "his lofty forehead is expressive of deep penetration," he is certainly pos sessed of intelligence, zeal, and soldierly qualities. The weather has suddenly become alarmingly close and warm, and typhoid fevers are rather increasing in camps and quarters. t , SUMNER ON THE STUMP IN NEW YORK. 66 The lion. Charles Sumner, United States Senator from Massachusetts, delivered an address last evening, in the large hall of the Cooper Institute, on The Rebellion; its Origin and Mainspring.' The invitation was extended to him by the New York Young Men's Republican Union, which was organised in June, 1856, as the Fremont and Dayton Central Union.' Rarely has there been such a large audience assembled in the Cooper Institute—never one of such general reputation and intelligence. Several hundred ladies were present. As Mr. Sumner made his ap• rearance on the platform he was hailed with enthusiastic applause. " Mr. SUMNER, coming forward to the desk, said—lt is my nature to be more touched with the kindness of friends than the malignity of enemies, and I know both. You make me feel to-night that lam among friends. Believe me I am happy to be welcomed by the Republican Union of New York ; first, because it represents the young men, who are the strength and hope of our country ; and secondly, be cause it constitutes an association which has already ren dered signal service in redeeming the country from the rule of the slave oligarchy. I cannot forget that under their auspices our candidate for the Presidency, known and honoured in Illinois, became also known and honoured in New York. After showing at considerable length that the origin and mainspring of the rebellion was African slavery, he continued—But I hear a voice saying that all this pro ceeds—not from slavery, oh, no I—but from anti-slavery; that the Republicans, who hate slavery—that the Aboli tionists, are the authors of this terrible conflagration. Surely yon may well suspect the sense or loyalty of him who puts forth this irrational and utterly wicked imputation. As well say that the early Christians were the authors of the heathen enormities against which they bore their martyr testimony, and that the cross, the axe, the gridiron, and the boiling oil by which they suffered were a part of the Chris tian dispensation. But the early Christians were misre presented and falsely charged with crime, even as you are. . . But how shall the rebellion be crushed ? That is the question. Men, money, munitions of war, a well-supplied commissariat, means of transportation—all these you have in abundance, in some particulars beyond the rebels. You have, too, the consciousness of a good cause, which in it self is an army. And yet thus far, until within a few days, the advantage has not been on our side. The explanation is easy. The rebels are combating at home on their own soil, strengthened and maddened by slavery, which is to them an ally and a fanaticism. More thoroughly aroused than ourselves—more terribly in earnest, with every sinew strained to the utmost—they freely use all the resources that God and nature put into their hands, raising against us not only the whole white population, but enlisting the war-whoop of the Indians, cruising upon the sea in pirate ships to despoil our commerce, and at one swoop confiscat ing our property to the extent of hundreds of millions of dollars, while all this time their 4,000,000 slaves, undisturbed at home, are freely contributing by their labour to sustain the war, which without them must soon expire. It remains for us to encounter the rebellion calmly and surely by a force superior to its own. But to this end something more will be needed than men or money. Our battalions must be reinforced by ideas, and we must strike directly at the origin and main spring of the rebellion. I do not say now in what way or to what extent, but simply that we must strike. It may be by the system of a Massachusetts general—Butler ; it may be by that of Fremont, or it may be by the grander system of John Quincy Adams. Reason and sentiment both concur in this policy, which is only according to the most common principles of human conduct. In no way can we do so much at so little cost. To the enemy such a blow will be a terror, to good men it will be an encouragement, and to foreign nations watching this contest it will be an earnest of some thing beyond a mero carnival of battle. There has been the cry 'On to Richmond,' and still another worse cry On to England.' Better than either is the cry, On to freedom.' Let this be heard in the voices of your soldiers ; aye, let it resound in the purposes of the Government, and victory must be ours. By this sign conquer. It is with no little happiness that I now announce that this cry is at last adopted by the Government. You will find it in the in structions from the Secretary of War, dated War Depart ment, Oct. 14, 1861, and addressed to the general command ing the forces which have just effected a successful landing in South Carolina. Here are the important words—' You will, however, in general, avail yourself of the services of any persons, whether fugitives from labour or not, who may offer them to the National Government ; you will em ploy such persons in such services as they may be fitted for, either as ordinary employes, or, if special circumstances seem to repire it, in any other capacity, with such orga nisation, in squads, companies, or otherwise, as you deem most beneficial to the service. This however not to mean a general arming of them for military service. You will assure all loyal masters that Congress will provide just compensa- tion to them for the loss of the services of the persons so employed.' These words have not the positive form of a proclamation, but analyse them and you will find them full of meaning. First, martial law is hereby declared ; for the powers committed to the discretion of the general are de rived from that law, and not from the late Confiscation Act of Congress. Secondly, fugitive slaves are not to be sur rendered. Thirdly, all coming within the camp arc to be treated as freemen. Fourthly, they may be employed in such service as they may be fitted for. Fifthly, in squads, companies, or other wise, with the single limitation that this is not to mean a general arming of them for military service.' And, sixthly, compensation, through Congress, is promised to loyal masters, saying nothing of rebel masters. All this is little short of a proclamation of emancipation—not unlike that of old Caius Marine, when he landed on the coast of Etruria, and, according to Plutarch, proclaimed liberty to all the slaves. As such Ido not err when I call it the most im portant event of the war—the more important because it is understood to have the deliberate sanction of the President as well as the Secretary of War, and therefore marks the policy of the Administration. That this policy should be first applied to South Carolina is just. As this great re bellion began in this State, so should the great remedy." DEMONSTALION Fon FREMONT IN CINCINNATI (From the Cincinnati Gazette, Aov. 25.) The Germans of this city turned out in large numbers on Saturday night last to attend a meeting held at Turner-hall, for the purpose of expressing sympathy with General Fre mont in the course lately pursued towards him by the Administration. The meeting was called to order by Dr. A. Bauer. Frederick Werner was appointed secretary. Judge Stallo and the Rev. Mr. Eisenlohr addressed the assemblage in the German, and the Rev. M. D, Conway in the English language. A series of resolutions in German, censuring the Administration for the supersedure of General Fremont, were passed. "Mr. C oNWAY spoke as follows : —Judge Stallo has alluded to me as a Virginian who can answer for the South. I cer tainly have lived there long enough, and felt the heavy hand of slavery enough, to know that this Government is not strong enough to preserve the Union and African sla • very also ; and while this Administration is now bending itself to that impossible and undesirable work, the people will be in this conflict like Issachar of old—a strong ass crouching between two burdens—between an embecile Ad ministration on the one hand, and a gigantic rebellion on the other. Both Issachar cannot bear, and such an as sembly inspires me with the hope that ho will not much longer crouch, but bravely bear on to the ' goodly rest and pleasant land,' with the burden of liberty on his shoulder, no longer a strong ass for the Government to crush with its wretched pro-slavery pack, but a strong man, with the blood which defied George 111. throbbing in his heart Now that the standard of liberty has been unfurled by Fremont over the contending parties—a higher standard than Stars and Stripes, or stars and bars—how wretched and despicable appear the standard raised by the pigmy generals who have gone out warm from the wing of the Administration I What think you, my countrymen, of Sherman, taking our young men from the classic shades of our colleges, and from their free homes, and offering them to the proud and hospitable citizens of the sove reign State of South Corolina, as the patrol of the negroes ? What think you of Dix, down in Wise's district, pro claiming that his army is under strict orders to guard ' slavery, even to the treasonable extent of refusing to take into their lines, whether belonging to traitors or ' any other man,' those black corn producers and earth work builders ? If a man sends a barrel of corn to Virginia he is imprisoned ; the man who sends there the hands which produce 10,000 barrels of corn is Major-General of the United States' army. Can you imagine a lower depth than this ? All depths are possible with this Administration. The one ho comes out and proclaims latest from that glorious Republican circle at the White House always gets a little lower than the rest. So here came Young Lochin var' Halleck cut of the West—the mysterious Halleck. The country argued itself unknown by knowing nothing 3f, and never having heard a word from, Halleck. In breathless suspense we listen for the first utterance of him sent out to replace the nat en's darling hero. At last Ilalleck breaks the mystical silence. Halleck pronounces. In fact, he proclaims.' His first word is a lie, his second an order for his men to deliberately betray the country. If there is any man who does not know it to be a mean, malignant lie, to say that fugitive slaves have been spies against us, he should be placed, as soon as possible, in Vac Asylum for Idiots at South Bottom. The meanness of the lie ap • pears infernal by the side of the salvation of S , urgis's brigade, in that very State, by a fugitive slave's information, and the blunder of M'Dowell upon batteries of whose existence he was ignorant—and ignorant simply because he refused fugitives an entrance within his lines. But his second word is treasonable, for it commands his soldiers to send out to the enemy alleged spies and foes of the country. Either Halleck knows he lies when he accuses the fugitives, or else he should be hung as a traitor for sending from his lines, un arrested, alleged and charged spies against the United States. Suppose Wield]. and Pryor should seek Halleck's Hues in disguise, and he should say, ' I misdoubt ye are PRICE .4d. STAMPED ...M. spies ; return to your homes, gentlemen,'—would he not be hung as an abettor of treason? He would certainly be hung; only our President dislikes to hang traitors, lest it might occasion them some personal inconvenience. This, then, Americans, is the infamous, crawling, sneaking policy which replaces the electric watchword sounded by Fremont for this great nation. The idea our Government has of fidelity is a Chine-e fidelity. A missionary tells us that, his coat being- patched on the elbow, torn under the arm, and with a big'grease spot on it, ho desired another ; but, wishing it made after the same pattern, he took the old coat and the new cloth to the Chinese tailor. In a week the tailor brought him the new coat, but what was his horror to find that the pattern of the old one had been so faithfully copied that the new one had a patch ingeniously made on the elbow, and a tear under the arm, and a big grease spot that must have taken an hour in making on t he fine new cloth I Such is the Government's idea of restor ing this Union. The South having forced this nation to put on a new coat, this grand Cabinet cross their legs, take their goose, and aim to bring us the new coat with thd patch, the tear, and the grease spot, the cause of which it was that we needed a new one, because of which we elected Lincoln instead of Breckinridge or Douglas. Mr. Conway then proceeded to show that a military con quest over the South, preserving slavery, would be a sub jugation of ourselves as much as the South. From thence forth the nation must leave the peaceful progress of its des tiny td sit and hold the rebellious States—turning into a military Government, doing nothing but - watching the mon ster, whose soul is slavery, and see that he does not poke ifs ugly head out again, and coil about our States again. He concluded by assuring the Germans that many thou sand native Americans were appreciating their devotion to liberty, and would join them when the hour came to root up, whatever be the obstacle, the root of bitterness in our land. The policy of the Administration will be swept away, or else the Administration itself, just as soon as the real truth is apprehended in all its full powers, and it is only the interest of a pitiful 350,000 of our people—the number of slaveholders—who, after keeping us in hot water for 85 years, now precipitate us in civil war; and that it is only because of the servility which fears to touch the impudent claim of that handful to scourge and own men and women, which makes civil war possible. A decree that this Go vernment ignores the relation of slavery ends the war, there is no army in the South but a home guard from that mo ment. One thing the war will teach, that slavery ends in military despotism, that liberty ends in equality to all, black or white. The moment which decides between the two has arrived to this nation." " A TESTIMONIAL SWORD TO GENERAL FREMONT. (From the St. Louis Evening News.) " The friends of General Fremont have started a 10c. con tribution for the purpose of purchasing a sword to be pre sented to that officer. The subscription lists are to be found in nearly all the beer saloons and other places in the city. The following is a copy of the recital that heads them : " TESTIMONIAL TO JOHN C. FREMONT. " ' John C. Fremont, the noble champion of a free nation, has momentarily fallen a victim to the selfish intrigues of a corrupt clique. A weak Government has torn from the grasp of the heroic Pathfinder his sword, hitherto unsullied. Freemen of the West I Will you look on calmly while the despicable selfishness of Fremont's enemies threatens to jeopardize you all ? Will you permit that your standard bearer, the man of your confidence and hopes, be alienated from you by slanderous insinuations ? The citizens of St. Louis have cast their verdict in this controversy by a great and solemn - 1 opular demonstration. It means Fremont and Liberty I An attempt is now made to deny this expression of the popular voice and to lead public opinion astray. The time has come, therefore, to reaffirm the truth by proving to a deluded Administration our confidenc© in Fremont in a manner that can never be questioned. Instead of the sword torn from his grasp, another must be placed in his hand by the people, to be wielded for the destruction of falsehood and intrigue and for the reorganisation of a great and free country. And to make occasion for every friend of Fre mont to participate in the testimonial thus to be offered the amount of each separate contribution has been limited to the sum of 10c. The surplus will be applied to patriotic pur poses, according to the ultimate disposition made by a ma jority of the various committees.—St. Louis, Nov. 11, 1861.'" ~~~r~~ t~ ~( 113 ( 1 2",' of ammunition, baggage, and military stores Was oighia-ilient_oa board of the Australasia. In course of the forenoon the Dublin Steam Packet Company's steamers Windsor and Trafalgar arrived in the Mer sey, containing the head quarters and most of the Ist battalion of the Rifle Brigade. They immedi ately proceeded alongside the Australasia and tran. shipped the troop& into the latte.r. The whole of the arrangements were made under the superintendence of Capt. Leystel., R.N., Admiralty agent for Liver pool. It was intended, if the matter could possibly be:accomplished, that the Australasia should sail by the evening's tide; if that could not be accomplished she was to sail by this morning's tide. Telegraphic instructions Co charter the Royal Mail Company's steamship Magdalena were received at Southampton last night, and to-day large num bers of workmen have been employed in getting her ready for this service. It is understood the Guards will be sent out in the Adriatic and the Parana. The 18th company of Royal Engineers, com manded by Capt. Hewitt, has been reinforced with 60 men from head-quarters, and is held in readi ness for immediate embarkation for Canada. No vessel has yet been named to convey them b their destination, but it is expected they will embark in a man-of-war. War-office instructions were yesterday received in the carriage department of Woolwich Arsenal, ordering the hasty manufacture of 2,000 pack saddles, and a proportionate number of store and ambulance waggons and carts of various descrip tions, for despatch to North America. The Royal Laboratory department is also engaged in extra work in order to execute a heavy demand for Arm strong cartridges, which are ordered to be prepared with separate lubricating wads. Nos. 1,2, and 3 batteries, forming the Ist division of the 10th Brigade Garrison Artillery, will leave Woolwich garrison this evening per rail for Liver pool, in command of Col. Cleaveland, to embark on board the Niagara mail packet for Halifax. The strength of the brigade under orders for departure is about 1,600 of all ranks. It will be commanded by Col. F. Dunlop, C.B. Yesterday orders were received at the headquar ters of the Royal Engineers, Chatham, by Colonel Harness, C. 8., directing the non-commissioned officers and men of the companies at Brompton who have been transferred to the 13th (Capt. Magri ay's) company, to proceed this morning to Liverpool, to embark the following day, with the 13th company, on board the Persia, for Canada. The company goes out 120 strong. The detachment of non-commis sioned officers and men of the Royal Engineers who have been doing duty at the Royal Mili tary College, Sandhurst, joined headquarters yes terday. They are all picked nien, and each thoroughly perfect in the various branches of sap ping and mining and other engineering operations. They will be the next to proceed to Canada. A noti fication was also received at Chatham yesterday, that in addition to the companies of 'Royal Engi neers already under orders for Canada, the 4th company, now at Dover, employed on the fortifica tions at that part of the coast will also be despatched to Canada. The 15th company will leave the Curragh to-day so as to embark also in the Persic. By direction of the Deputy-Adjutant-General, a number of non-commissioned officers of the Royal Engineers were yesterday placed under orders to hold themsekes in readiness for Canada. It was yesterday stated at Chatham that no fewer than 10 companies of Royal Engineers were to be sent to British North America. A detachment of the 16th Regiment, consisting of non-commissioned officers and men, who, after medical inspection, were not considered fit to em bark for Canada with that regiment, arrived at Fort Pitt Hospital, Chatham, on Wednesday night, from Sheffield, under the command of Capt. W. If. Carter. After the men had been medically in spected, nine were admitted for medical treatment, and the remainder forwarded to the invalid estab lishment. The first portion of the detachment of the Army Hospital Corps, under orders to proceed to Canada, will leave headquarters, Chatham, this morning for Liverpool, where they will embark on board the Persia with the troops proceeding in that steamer. The volunteers from the various depots at Chat ham for the 16th Regiment were assembled on the general parade ground yesterday for inspection by Major- General Eyre, previous to leaving the gar rison to join their regiment, which will embark forthwith for Canada. Each of the volunteers will undergo medical inspection, in order that no man who is not in a good state of health and strength may be allowed to embark. With reference to the Royal Marine circular of March 7, the Lords Commissioners of the Admi ralty have directed that the indulgence of discharge by purchase shall be suspended until further orders. The hired sailing transport Indomitable, Captain Carew, arrived at Spilllead yesterday morning from the Cape of Good Hope with the left wing of the b9th Regiment on board, comprising Brevet Lieut.-Colonel -'fir: W. Ladder, in command— Captains C. S. Baker, H. Kean, and IV. 11. Thompson ; Lieuts. J. Lawson, J. Shepherd, E. A. Harrow, M. S. Morgan, A. Hesilnige, and L. C. Brown ; Ensigns J. M‘Mullen, C. S. W. Furlong, and S. T. Rudd; Assist.-Surg. W. B. Ramsbotham ; 16 sergeants, 5 drummers, 18 corporals, 234 privates, 23 women, and 24 children, and 1 sergeant and 1 private of the Cape Mounted Rifles. One death occurred during the voyage home from disease con tracted prior to embarkation. The troops are in excellent health,—a fact in some measure due to the roomy quarters they have had during the voyage. The passage from the Cape had been made in an unprecedented short time for a sailing ship, 43 days. Algoa Bay, where the troops were taken on board, was left Oct. 22, and Simon's Bay, the final port of departure, where the ship took in water and pro visions, on the 30th of the same month. The weather throughout was fine, and the winds generally favourable. On Wednesday, at 11 a.m., the Indo mitable entered the Channel with a fresh southerly wind, which carried her into Spithead yesterday morning. The Boanerges hired transport, with the head-quarters of the 59th on board, was appointed to leave Table Bay for Spithead the day after the Indomitable left Simon's Bay. The Narcissus, 51, screw, with Rear-Admiral Sir B. Walker on board, had left Simon's Bay, reported for Madagascar. The Sidon, 22, paddle, Capt. R. Crawford, was at anchor in Simon's Bay when the Indomitable left. The wing of the 2d battalion 11th Regiment, which had arrived out in the Indomitable from England, left Port Elizabeth on the 23d Oct. for Fort Beaufort. The draughts of the 10th Regiment were to follow. The 59th are ordered to proceed to Dover, but up to 6 p.m. yesterday had not received their disem barkation orders. It was expected that the troops would land at Portsmouth and proceed round to Dover by railway. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALLS'—YESTERDAY. Nothing done. TIIE CHESTER CUP.

The Euryalus and Shannon frigates, at Ports mouth, have as yet no officers named to commission them. Both vessels, however, are complete in every respect, and can proceed to sea within 12 hours, if necessary. The Vigilant and Pandora screw sloops! are held in equal readiness, but, as in the case of the frigates, no one has yet been named to their command. The Chanticleer, 17, screw, is flying the transferred pennant of the Wasp, with her officers and crew on a week's leave. On their rejoining, she can proceed to sea at a day's notice, if required. The case is very different with the Geyser, 6 paddle, which vessel, on being ordered to the Pacific, has been discovered to have serious de fects, and has, in consequence, turned her crow over to one of the hulks in the harbour. She will be taken into the steam basin to-day to undergo the necessary repairs, the extent of which and the time occupied will depend, as a matter of course, upon the extent of defects discovered. The Hannibal, 89, screw, Capt. A. Farquhar, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from the Mediterranean. The Hannibal has brought home the seamen pensioners discharged from the ships on the Mediterranean station, in accordance with the orders recently issued to that effect by the Admiralty. They were landed from the ship by Government steamer during the day. The Hannibal is expected to go into Portsmouth harbour to•mor row to pay off her crew and be put out of commis sion. Her boilers and machinery are very defective. She sailed from Malta on Nov. 25tb, and from Gib raltar on the 2d inst. Prince Adalbert, Lord High Admiral of Prussia, has addressed a communication to the Chevalier Van den Berg, Prussian Consul at Portsmouth, di recting that inquiries shall be made of the pilot boats in the Channel for tidings of the Prussian 18- gun corvette Amazone, which left Elsinore on Nov. 2d for Lisbon, nothing having been heard of her since. It is feared that she was lost during the gales off the Doggerbank, which succeeded her departure from the Baltic. The Osborne paddle yacht, Master Commander G. R. Bower, specially fitted for the accommodation of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales and suite during the visit of his Royal Highness to the Mediterranean, is expected to sail from Portsmouth about the 16th lust, It is probable that his Royal Highness will embark at Devonport, the yacht calling in there after leaving Portsmouth. Orders have been received at Sheerness directing Mr. J. Greig, storekeeper at that station, to embark forthwith for Canada. Mr. Greig is succeeded at Sheerness by Mr. J. Moore, from the storekeeper's department at Woolwich. Commander M'Crea, gazetted to the command of the paddlewheel steamship Devastation, for service in the Atlantic, yesterday took up his commission, and hoisted his pennant at the topmast of the ship in basin at Woolwich. The undernamed gentlemen have been nominated to naval cadetships : —E. V. B. Gaunt, Wm. Nigel Madan, Gerald John Roberts, Ford E. W. Lambert, and Horace Baker. THE ARMY. It is stated that Major-Gen.

They marched through the town in high spirits to the South-Western sta tion en route for Paddington, headed by their fine band, playing " I'm off to Charleston early in the Morning," and were loudly cheered by the inhabi tants. On arriving in town they will join the 2d battalion of Scots Fusileer Guards, in order to make up their full complement of 1,000 men, who are to sail immediately for Canada.
