KAVANAGII'6 NEW NOVEL Now ready at all the Lib rar i es, i n 3 vols., QUEEN M Al 3. By JULIA KAVANAGH, Author of "Nathalie," " Adele," &c. Hurst and Blackett, 13, Great MAriborougli-street. rice. The progress of affairs in America showed how fallacious were the principles which a few years ago some people thought would ultimately prevail in England. When we saw how much blood had been shed, how much treasure had been wasted, and what evil had arisen in a manner from the form of government which the Americans had sketched out for themselves, we might congratu:ate ourselves that our own different form of govern ment established by our forefathers had exempted us from those evils; and we should take care that the blessings which the Constitution of this country secured for us might be handed down from us to our children and to our children's children. (Cheers.) Ho felt strongly the lesson which was derivable from the state of affairs in America ; he felt that that lesson had been brought home to the convictions of many who had before allowed them selves to float down the stream of public opinion without caring where it drifted them to. He thought it right at the present moment to make some remarks on the question whether their Home Government was to be supported or opposed by the Conservative party, and on this point he must say that he believed Lord Palmerston had done more to degrade and demoralise public opinion than any other statesman. He was a man who had never maintained any great principles of his own, bat had always been at the beck and call of the majority, which was a dangerous and unsafe position for any leader of her Majesty's Government to take up. At the beginning of the present century Lord Palmer ston was a Tory of the Tories, and held office un der Lord Liverpool, and afterwards was a supporter of Canning. At Canning'a death he took office un der the Duke of Wellington, and was in the suc cessive Ministries of Lord Grey, Lord Melbourne, and Lord John Russell, and when Radical opinions were in the ascendancy he was ready to give his support to any Radical. And while at one time Lord Palmerston was ready to lend himself to a large degradation of the suffrage,so he now thought it wise, with Lord Russell, to tarn round and laugh at those who had raised them to power, on the pre tence of advocating that extension. Mr. Lygon then referred to Earl Rassell's recent speech in Scotland, and went on to say that he was not one of those who asked for any extensive degradation of the suf frage; but he was astonished at reading that speech, remembering as he did that so recently as the year 1859 Lord Russell had solemnly stated in public that as he had supported reform when he was young so he would not desert it when he was old. With regard to other public questions he might allude to the course taken by Lord Palmerston on the church rate question as illustrating his character as a statesmen. Some years ago when there was no ques tion raised about church-rates, Lord Palmerston supported their imposition. Subsequently, when the agitation against them was raised, and church-rates were pronounced to be doomed, Lord Palmerston consented to give them up, and voted for their abo lition. That was not all; a change again took place; the opinion of the House of Commons was altered, the minority against their abolition increased, and at last was turned into a majority. What did Lord Palmerston do then ? He paired with a mem ber who it was well known was in Italy, and left the question to take care of. itself. And thus he maintained the character which he (Mr. Lygon) had given of him. Whichever side of a question had the majority was the side supported by Lord Palmer ston. He (Mr. Lygon) maintained that this was not the motive that should actuate public men and leaders of public parties. A man entrusted as Lord Palmerston was with public effeirs ought to main tain a principle, abide by it, and make eacrifices for it. (Hear, hear.) He should make up his mind what was the right course to pursue on a public question, and having done this he should follow that course. (Hear, hear.) It was all very well to say that Lord Palmerston was always found on the winning side. That might be so, but that was not the only qualifi cation that they had looked for in a statesman. To maintain a great principle, to promote the education and improvement of your fellow-man, and to lay down a great principle of government, was a tack to which any man might aspire; but if he became a mere weatherglass, to record the opinions of a ma jority which might be black one day and white on another, was the worst possible state of things that could exist. He was not one of those who meant to say that a man might never change his opinions ; but he did oppose any such change when it became not a change in principle, but a change in order to maintain in office the party effecting it. (Hear, hear.) He next alluded to foreign affiirs. They had an unfortunate state of things in Poland, and a Ministry doing something for the sake of doing something, and treading in those steps of vacillation which in 1854 led to the war with Russia, and which he feared might lead them to war again, although contrary to the wishes o f the people of this country. (Hear , hear.) He believed that the people of this country we re not prepared to go to war with Russia for the sake of Poland. (Hear, hear.) If unfortu natel y war should arise between this country and Russia, it should be made known that it had arisen from want of Principle on the part of her Majesty's Government in reference to its conduct towards foreign nations. In con clusion the hon. gentleman thanked the electors for the kindness they had shown towards him and his family, and moved the thanks of the meeting to th e High Sheriff for his conduct of the election. Sir JOHN PAH/NGTON, in seconding the vote, paid a passing tribute to the memory of the late Earl Beauchamp, who in the House of Commons and the House of Lords had represented the county over a period of 45 years ; and, alluding to the ab sence of opposition to Mr. Lygon's election on the part of the Liberals ot the county, said he would accept that fact as a mark of respect offered to the memory of the late earl ; but (Sir John added) he suspected bound discretion had something to do with the decision of their political opponents. Bat Mr. ' Lygon had now been elected, and would proceed to Parliament to support those Conservative opinions which he hod that day expressed to them in so accurate and just a manner; and in no respect was he more accurate in his enunciation of Conservative principle than in his statement that Conservative o pinions were not opposed to lib era l and gentle pro gress. (Hear , hear.) W hat Con servat i ves opposed was democratic innovation. We loved our consti tution, we loved our country, and we loved that liberty which was the result of those institutions. That was the feeling, which bactuated the Con servativecountry— party in th e (hear, hear) —and he (Sir John) believed that the great body of the British people sympathised in the soundness of the Conservative polioy, and that it was this unanimity of feelin g that had obliged Lord Palmerston to abandon those principles on which he had takenoffice,and to govern the country . onCon servative principles' in order keep h to and h colleague s i n office. He had only to add his con gratulations on the proceedings of that day, widen their choice of a member who would do honour to the county of Worcester. He had known Mr. Lygon from a child, and respected his abilities. He was ono of those young men who preferred to devote themselves to the public service of their Colletrte° rather than to give themselves exclusive!'" usl:ith pleasure. He had had the pleasure of tie_t i h n t f ne d he him fora short time in official life, aill i r tiou ,:ih he would long live to represeut them.. otqueliag the (Sir John) was not much in the upioion ot Earl Russell, ho thoug t h the fe w wort cou ld not do h, better than close his remarks lobv the noble earl. of advice lately offered to then2avinx now elected a He would therefore say tbati: coine t h e m to " rest i good member, woul d well ter an d cheers.) and be thankful."

It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.

Another charac teristic of these elections end of that which is approaching for some of the minor offices in the gift of the people in the State and city of New York is, that they will be more purely American than any similar contests of the last quarter of a century. Heretofore, it has invariably been noticed whenever State or city elections drew near in any part of the Union that immense numbers of newly arrived aliens applied weekiy and daily for the " first Papers." or attested declarations of intention to be come American citizens. Armed with these, and propped up by a little forgery, they were held to be entitled to the privilege of - a vote; and voted accord ingly. Another class of immigrants, who had taken out their first bat not their second papers, and who had qualified themselves by right of residence to vote at elections, were diligently hunted out by the agents of both political parties, and induced to com plete their naturalisation, in order that they might help the party to which their sympathies attached them, or by which they been bribed and bought by promise of worldly advancement, or a share in the loaves and fishes of corruption. But this year all has changed. The aliens are no longer ambitious of the privileges of American citizenship, involving as they do the unenviable privilege of conscription ; and those who have taken out their first papers obstinately refuse to take out tfie second, because they would thereby forfeit all claim to the protec tion of the countries whence they came. This natural, but as it appears unexpected action of the foreign population, has greatly deranged the calcu lations of the election-managers and wire-puller, and established the principles of the ancient party of "Know Nothings" in a manner which the most vielent supporter of native Americanism never anticipated. A yellow-covered pamphlet, entitled " Secret Cor respondence Illustrating the Condition of Affairs in Maryland," has just been privately printed at Balti more, and circulated among a chosen few through out the Northern States. One copy having found its way to a New York editor, copious extracts have been made from it in the columns of his journal, and have thence been transferred to the press gene rally. The correspondence is stated by the com piler, insurer, or printer to be " published as a con tribution to the materials of which the future history of Maryland is to he writtEn,"and the endorsements on the backs of the letters as well as the letters themselves are affirmed to be exact copies of the originals. The series commences with the letters of "spies and informers" addressed to Mr. Seward and Gen. Banks, when the tatter was in command at Annapolis, among which spies and informers are several postmasters in the towns and cities of Mary land, the Republican and Abolitionist Governor of the State, Mr. Thomas H. Hicks; a lady who signs herself S. M. Bonaparte, and who is said to be the wife of General, or Mr. Paterson Bonaparte, the son of King Jerome ; and several others of lesser note. The second series consists of letters from and to Mr. Seward, Mr.Ex-Secretary Cameron, Gen. M•Clellan, Gen. Banks, and others, and refers exclusively to the arrest of the members of the Legislature of Maryland in 1861 by the order of Mr. Seward, not to punish those gentlemen, or to bring them to trial for anything which they had done, but to prevent them from doing something which it was supposed they would do—namely, the passing through the Legislature of an act or ordinance for the secession if the State of Maryland from the Federal Union. The letters have all the appearance of authenticity, end. must, if genuine, have been stolen from the .chives of the Wer Department and that of the Secretary of State by some minor official in the service of the Government, or been given to the press for a political purpese,with the connivance and consent of Mr. Stanton or Mr. Seward. The pamphlet is very damaging to the reputation of four persons—Mr. Seward, Mr. Cameron, General M'Ciellan, and General Banks ; but, as it discloses nothing particularly new with regard to the &Tree tary of State or to the ex-Secretary of War, nothing in fact that was not previously known with regard to the willing and zealous part they played two years ago in the arbitrary arrest of their political opponents, it is probable that the intention of the publisher or publishers of the pamphlet was mainly to tar and feather and set adrift upon the street to be hooted by the people those hitherto immaculate and unsuspected patriots, Generals M'Clellan and Banks. If Burnside, Schenck, Butler, and Milroy, are to be held up to public odium for the alacrity with which they lend themselves to the dirty work of an incipient despotism, the acts of these gentle men prove that as the Butlers and Scheneks were and are in 1862 and 1863, M'Clellan and Banks were-in 1861. The two following letters, selected from the mass, are sufficient to tell the Story. The first is from:Secretary Cameron to General Banks: War Department, Sept. 11, 1861. General,—The passage of any act of secession by the Legislature of Maryland must be prevented. If necessary, all or any of the members must be arrested. Exercise your own judgment as to the time and manner, but do the work effectively.—Very respectivesully your obedient servant, Smote CAMERON, Secretary of War. To Ktjor-General N. P. Banks, commanding near Darnesktwn, Maryland. The second letter marked "confidential," is from General M'Clellan to General Banks on the same subject, dated on the following day : Head -quarters, Army of the Potomac, Washington, Sept. 12. General,—After full consultation with the President, Secretaries of State, War, &c., it has been decideEl to effect the operation proposed for the 17th. Arrangements have been made to have a Government steamer at Annapolis to receive the prisoners, and carry them to their destination. Some four or five of the chief men in the affair are to be arrested to•day. When they meet on the 17th you will please have everything prepared to arrest the whole party, and be sure that none escape. It is understood that you arranged with General Dix and Governor Seward the modue operandi. It has been inti mated to me that the meeting might take place on the 14th. Please be prepared. I would be glad to have you advise me frequently of your arrangements in regard to this very important matter. If it is successfully carried .out it will go far towards breaking the backbone of the rebellion. It would probably be well to have a special trail quietly prepared to take the prisoners to Annapolis. I leave this exceedingly i m p or tant affair to y our tact and discretion, and have but one thing to impress upon you— the absolute necessity of secresy and success. With the highest regard, I am , my d ear General, your sincere friend, 4N t Major-General GEO. B. l'sl‘CLeee United States Army. Major-General N. P. Banks, United States A rmy. All the world knows how very well the "affair" was managed; with what skill, secresy and success it was planned and carried through, an d that the victims, torn from their beds at night, were confined for 14 months in the dungeons of Forts M'Henry, Lafayette, and Warren, and submitted to indigni ties and indecencies such as make the flesh curdle to hear and read of; but no one, except the members of the Administration, knew, until the publication of this" Secret Correspondence," how thoroughly and with what gusto these two Popular Generals lent themselves to the work. Under all the circum stances of the case it is not likely that they have been pu bli s h e d by some member o f t h e Government for the malicious purpose of outing both M'Clellan and Banks from the ring of eau&dates who aspire to the Presidential chair in succession to M. Lin coln. Both Generals are prime favourites among the Democracy; and, as the Democracy have made the illegal arrests ordered by the Government, the sus pension of the habeas corpus, the atrocities of Gen. Butler, and the blundering offeneiveness of Burn side and Schenck the stalkinghor ses o f t h e i r oppo sition to the Administration and the party it repre sents, it is extremely pr obable th a t thi s ex p osure i s an electioneering " dodge," intended to make an end of the patriotic pretensions of both Generals, espe cially of M'Clellan'e, and to bowl kim out of the political game. v.rhough Mr. Seward and Mr. Cameron show but ill in the business, the publica. two does them no harm, for they have both retired from the Presidential arena, with no chance or hope of re-entering it, and no accusation of ,this kind that speakers, the onlei o f can be brought against either of them can do them any harm. Whether it be Mr. Stanton, in the interest of Mr. Chase or Mr. Lincoln in his own, who has winked at or brought about this surreptitious diselo cure is a query that none can answer but themselves. That neither of the two is likely to be much ag grieved by it is clear enough to every one who u nderstands anything of the agencies which are at work to prepare the way for the election of 1864. Tue political and anti-British deification of the Russian cfficers continues unslackened. The British Adniral and his little fleet take their departure 4o morrow, without having been participants in any thing but the curiosity of a few sightseers and the hospitalityof a few citizens, much to the satisfaction of the British residents, who ever since the Admiral arrived in port have, been apprehensive that a studied insult or mark of disrespect would be shown him by some arrogant official of the city or the Go vernment. Nothing of the kind has happened, and the absence of the fleet will doubtless give a renewed impetus to the laudations which the Republicans and Ministerialists are never weary, publicly or privately, of piling upon the Czar, his Government, hi s policy, and his sailors. A dinner, to which 2,000 guests have been invited, is to be given to Admiral Lesoffsky and the ether officers, at the A c ademy of Music, at which, doubtless, all that can be directly said in favour of a Federal alliance with Russia, and indirectly hinted against amity w ith Great Britain, will find utterance. In the etheadmiration of the Russo-maniacs vents i m u e e a l n e t a i t in smaller dinner parties, got up at the cost of eminent contractors, and the proceedings at which, together with the bill of fare, are duly chronicled i n the newspapers. At a dinner of this character g i v en last night at Astor-house, Mr. Brady, a dis tinguished Hibernian and hater of England, which h e calls a "detestable land," was in the chair, and spoke of his " friend" Admiral Lesoffsky, whom he called his friend because he was the friend of his, M r . Brady's, struggling country, and proposed "The Emperor of Russia" for the others, that he was "absolute as a and allied to the people of all lands by his e fforts in behalf of the freedom of his own." reason,mth monarch, n ntroc toast ri onfn g to the toast of " The President of the In United States," who was declared to be the elected leader of the nation which was solving the question of self-government, and which was very properly proposed by an Irishman, unconscious of the blunder made i n regard to a man who has done more to destroy the principle of self-government than any man of Anglo-Saxon lineage since Cromwell or r sl e i P p lY t e e opportunity to sneer at the British James IL, the Hon.

THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA, (Ftonz the Correspondent of the Times.) NEW YORK, Oct. 13. Rumours of disasters to the Federal arms both on the Rapidan and Chattanooga have been current during the whole of yesterday and to-day, and have sent up the premium on gold from 48, at which it stood on Saturday, to 56 this afternoon. The Go vernment is in possession of despatches from both quarters which it refuses to publish; and thus adds to the general alarm, until it almost amounts to a panic. But the steady rise in the premium prior to Saturday and its sudden leap to-day are not to be solely attributed to the unfavourable opinion in the money market of the rumours from the Repidan, from Chattanooga, and from Charleston, but to other and purely economic causes. The "Fall" or autumn importation of dry goods and articles of luxury from England and France, rendered larger than usual by the extravagant habits of the 210 7 1 veaux riches, and by the gradual exhaustion of the large stock of goods previously on hand, has led to a double demand for gold. As Europe does not need American breadstuffs this season in anything like the qui. , ntity of past years, and as America can not consequently balance importation by exporta tion, the difference must be paid in the precious metals. The exports of produce for the week end ing,on Saturday last were of the value in green backs of 2,413,600 dols., and in gold of about 1,600,000 dole.; while the imports were of the value of 2,994,500 dots. in gold, showing a difference of 1,334,300 dols. to be now or he:caller remitted to Europe. The total exports from January to Oeto her have been 93,000,000 dole. in gold valuation, and of imports for the same period 145,817,776 dots, from which it follows that America has purchased from Europe to the amount of 53,000,000 dols, more than eho has told. During the time gold to the amount of 35,000,000 dots. hag been retnittt-d from New York and about 10,00 ; 000 dots. direct from Cali fornia, leaving, if these figures be correct, about 8,000,000 dots, still due to the Old World for com modities which the New World is net ab:e to pro duce. The natural effect has been, in conjunction with the war news, to raisa the premium on gold from the low level of 20 or 22 per cent,, when Mr. Chase would gladly keep it, to the high rate of 56, which it reached this afternoon. And, as Mr. Chase will not take his own greenbacks in pas meet of duties on imports, but insists upon specie, there is a large domestic, as well as foreign demand for hard money. These influences have not only com bined to make gold scarce for trading purposes, but to deter holders from effecting sales, in the expecta tion of that further rise which is certain to occur under one or all of the lour following contingencies, each of which is both possible and probable : First, the capture of the whole army of Cosencrans; second, the defeat of General Meade ; third, the rais ing of the siege of Charleston; and, fourth, the re appearance of Mr. Chase in tho money-market as the borrower of another sum of 50,000,000 do's, to pay the amount which was due to the army and the navy on the first of this month. Should these events, or any one of them, occur simultaneously, it is safe to calculate that gold will reach a higher premium and greenbacks a lower depreciation than has been known since the commencement of the war. To-day the State elections in Pennsylvania and Ohio will be decided; but the results are not likely to be known with anything like accuracy until the end of the week. The issues raised in both States by the candidature of Judge V oodward in the one, and Mr. Vallandigham in the other, are political rather than national. Judge Woodward has said little ; but his friends assert in his behalf that he is not opposed to the continuance of the war against the Sonth, but only to the mode in which Mr. Lincoln conducts it, and to the suspension of the popular liberties, which he has deemed necessary to its successful prosecution. General M'Clellan, de parting from his usual prudent course of saying nothing, has written a letter to a Mr. Biddle, of Pennsylvania, in which he expresses his belief that the election of Judge Woodward is called for by the interests of the nation, and in which he takesground in no equivocal tormsagainst the whole policy of the Administration. Gen. M'Clellan is opposed to the conversion of the war into an agency for the eman cipetion of the slaves. " Understanding," he says, " that Judge Woodward agrees with me that the sole objects of this war are the restoration of the unity of the nation, the preservation of the Consti tution, and the supremacy of the laws, I would, were it in my power, give the Judge my voice and my vote." This is the Democratic platform, very good as far as it goes, but having the fatal demerit of being utterly unable to bear the weight of the superincumbent circumstances. The Union is dead, and the Constitution has become a piece of waste paper. Gen. M'Clellan and the War Democrats would revive the dead, re-establish voluntary Union by force, and set up again a Constitution which, by the consecration of slavery, would inaugurate a new rebellion at no distant day, with this only difference, that the rebels and secessionists of that time would be the Republicans and Abolitionists of this; and that Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Seward, Mr. Chase, Mr. Sum ner, and others would probably find themselves the occupants of Forts Lafayette and M'Henry instead of the more logical reasoners who people those dun geons to-day. In Ohio the issues are the same as in Pennsylvania. Mr. Vallandigham hopes against hope that the unity of the nation will be restored, and that the rivers of blood which have been shed will be bridged over, so that peaceable and friendly men may pass to and fro as happily and uncon strainedly as before; though, with the spirit of a lawyer rather than with that of a soldier, he believes that an armistice for six months would b 3 far more likely to produce the desired result than any prosecution of the war, however suc cessful. In reality the only importance to the tAme rican people and to the o uter world of the str uggle to be decided to-day iu the se two influential Stated will be the effect of the victory of the one or the other party upon the Presidential canvass of next year. Whatever the decison may be, the Adminis tration and their friends, comprising a ll the si ncere Abolitionists and theoretical Republicans, as well as the contractors, will leave no stone unturned to gain the victory. They have resolved to win by the ELECTION INTELLIGENCE, WEST WORCESTERSHIRE. The election of a knight of the shire in the room of the late member, Viscount Elmley, now Earl Beauchamp, took place at Worcester yesterday. The Hen. Frederick Lygon, brother of the present and second son of the late Earl Beauchamp, was the only candidate, and the Liberal party in the county put forth an announcement some weeks ago that they should not oppose the election of Mr. Lygon out of respect to his father. The hon. candidate was met at the outskirts of the City by a strong body of mounted freeholders, who escorted him to the Grand Stan d at Pitchcroft where the election took place. (Mr.Th eiiviremriitnhga)vingbeen read, and th e Hi gh Sheriff having briefly addressed the electors on the business of the day, and asked for each speaker a fair hearing, The Hon. WILLIAM COVENTRY shortly addressed the electors, and nominated Mr. Lygon as a fit and proper person to represent the Western Division in Parliament. H e observed that Mr. Lygon did not come before them as an untri ed man, having been for some years member for the neighbouring bo rough of Tewkesbury. Mr. Coventry paid a tribute of respect to the late Earl Beauchamp. M r. T. G. CIIRTLER, in secondingthe nomination, alluded to the fact that the county of Worcester, or the Western Division, had been represented for 70 years by a member of the Lygon family, and he added that that fact was not so much owing to their territorial possession and influence as to the politi cal principles which they maintained, and the re spect-in which they were held in the county. Mr. Lygon also stood before the electors on the present occasion not in the character of a novice, but as one who had had large Parliamentary experience. (Cheers.) No other candidate being nominated, the High Sheriff declared the Hon. Frederick Lygon duly elected, amid much cheering, The Hon. F. LYGON then addreased the electors, and after acknowledging in feeling terms the kind remarks which had been made by the previous speakers with regard to his father, said he s hould so endeavour to follow his good examp le as to gai n for himself at least a portion of that esteem a nd re spect which had been paid to the mem or y of his late father. He went on to say that this was not a time for entering into a disquisition on Conser vative prin ciples, but he would say that he would continue to follow the course which b e had adopted in public life hitherto. (Hear, hear.) He might also on this occasion be permitted to touch briefly on some of the public questions of the day. It bad latterly become greatly the fashion to say that there was no difference nowadays between Whig and Tory. H e believed that was a great fundamental mistake : — (hear, hear) —and. w hen he heard p e opl e say ths.t political ear, differences were now melted away lie an swered that no persons who made that assertion could have closely observed what was going on either at home or abroad. There would always be with a difference of opinion regard to both our fo reign and our domestic polities, and there would be a l w ays those who wer e unwilling to change and those who would be always changing. He wished it to be understood th a t No unprejudiced could as b n e o averset a v e r s e t ot o cautious man and wire changer, but it was another thing to go on recklessly changin g for the mere sake of change — (cheers)—and gettin g into • ' getting into such a state of confusion as that Which th • ey were unfortunately in la Alpe- WINDSML Last n ight an influential meeting of the suppor- Hayter took place at the Castle Hotel, &': CaPt ' 11.
