An important flank movement on MEADE'S right— reported at New York on the 12th, as having been effected by General LEE! An attack upon the Federal fleet before Charleston, apparently by Con feder4 te ironciads, causing considerable damage among the vessels of that fleet tend great alarm amongst them as to their safety ! The continued in terruption of all communication between ROSEN CRANZ'S bas 3 at Nashville and his main force at Chattanooga! In those three announcements we have the gist of all the tidings brought to us yester day and to-day by the Bohemian and the Glasgow—the gist at least of those portions of the tidings relating to the warlike operations at the three chief points of interest, on the Tennessee, on the Rapidan, and at Charleston. Simultaneously with the receipt of these fragments of intelligence we have vague intimations from the North, as to certain mysterious plans for a pacification lately submitted (with what result, if any, we are not in formed) to Mr. LINCOLN'S Cabinet. And from the South a frank expression through the Richmond Engraver, of the gratification of the Confederates at having the Trench for neighbours in Mexico, the Confederate journal remarking that " the South would willingly make an alliance with France to prOtect French and Southern interests in America." The lachmond _Examiner, at the same ti me, denouncing all peace propositions, as craven hi n t s n o t for one moment to be scriousl3 thou g h t of , in effect, it has been manifest here on the R aiaropeans. e of the Atlantic ever since the successf u l a accomplishment of NAPOLEON'S occupation enter prise f or the of Mexico—it has been perfectly manifest to every unprejudiced observer of event; as Been from this side of the Atla n ti c , that the one inevitable 1 e sequel to that successful occupation of Meujco 13 y .

So completely that his i\IAJEsTY can cooily offer, as he h as offered,the conquered republic to the Austrian Archduke MAXIAIILTAN for transformation into a new Empire. Later on, the result is sufficiently obvious of its kind. Franca must fall on the one hand into more direct antagonism with the Federa !s, and into more intimate and cordial alliance on the other hand, with the Confederates. Triumphing over their antagonist s , even when unaided from without, the Southern veterans would infallibly be heartened on to Yet m ore doughty feats of arms by a con ,. aciousness that there was already avowed sympat by, and that there mi g h t deemed in on,v be eventually, if such should be of the French dvisable, actual co-operation on the part there, in mezi:nch troops, as near neigh bours, here in troops, of the Confe derates. Meanwhileeas be in.Engiand the popular feeling, whatever Earl itus a s i:l popular .,i,t t. o antdh the contrary the ot he n :. the one hand by feeling here in by Mr. BEECHES, th e England is every day becoming more and unmistakably Southern or Confederate. more atOinc?, in Exeter-hall, a body 'oei peopleA packed got together (no matter how large and noisy) there for a set purpose, to listen open-mouthed t o the r h e torical raving s of a man of such exceedingly bad taste and vile paae:ons as the Ray. WARD BEECtIER, and to applaud him to the echo, can be accepted in no way as evidence of What in reality are the popular feelings, sympathies, or predilec tions. A day's journey upon any railway, a day's sojourn in the coffee-room of any one of our large hotels, will tell a very different tale, indeed, as to the direction in which the sympathies of the English people tend, in this fierce and terrible struggle between North and South for supremacy. France and England so sympathising—the one through her people, the other through tier Government—with:the cause of the Confederates, it would be difficult to believe otherwise than that that double sympathy must " tell" upon the fortunes of the belligerents. The affair of the poor street stall-keepers Westminster, which was supposed to vi e qie t l i y n settled, appears to be in anything but a satisfactor y state. It will be remembered that these stall keepers were summarily removed from their old haunts and forbidden to follow their accus tomed trade. Like OTHELLO, their occupation is gone; and, unfortunately for them, their livelihood goes with it. These humble market-places are by no means regarded by their occupiers with the con temptuous indifference with which they are treated by the police authorities. They appear to have been held for the most part by steady, respect able persons, who each had their regular position, and some of whom boasted of having held the same stall in their families for thirty years. Many of the stall-keepers are aged Fersons, unfit for any more laborious occupation, and the hardship is con sequently much increased for them. Their removal was owing to a resolution passed by the Westmin ster Board of Works, from the laudable motive of preserving the thoroughfare of the parish from in terruption. It had been represented to some of the members that these stalls created confusion, and interfered with the legitimate trade of the neigh bourhood. In both these pleas it appears that the complainants were mistaken or misinformed, as plenty of persons have since come forward to declare that, instead of producing any inconve nience, the stalls supplied a public want, while a very convincing proof of the sentiments of the resident tradesmen was afforded by their active exertions to obtain the rescinding of the resolution. A number of the regular shopkeepers united in forming a committee to secure the return of the stalls to their old position. Their efforts were strongly seconded by the general feeling of the neighbourhood, and the result was that the West minster Board were induced by their representa tions to rescind the original motion. Great were the rejoicings of the poorer classes at this supposed victory, and hearty their grati tude to those who had laboured so suc cessfully in their cause. The members of the Board proved that they had been actuated by no prejudiced or personal motives by their ready admission, that their former resolution had been based on a mistake, and by their willingness to retract it. Some of the members who had been foremost in passing the original motion came pro minently forward in the subsequent discussion to declare the change in their views, and it was confi dently anticipated that a very few days would see the stalls restored to their old position. All these pleasant expectations were, however, premature. Sir RICHARD MAYNE was absent on the continent, and therefore the matter had to be left in abeyance until his return. Patience was the motto, and no more was heard of it beyond the immediate vicinity until very lately. Sir RICHARD MAYNE, whose original proceedings were taken upon the represen tation of the Board, has again appeared on the scene, I but declines to comply with the present wishes of the instigators of the mischief. In spite of public dissatisfaction and private exertion, notwithstand ing the distress of the poor and the expostulations of the wealthy inhabitants, the Chief Commissioner, 'rota some reason or other, refuses to give permis sion to the stall-keepers to occupy their old ground. It is difficult to understand why Sir RICHARD MAYNE should act with such unwonted severity. There is no apparent reason why stalls, which are permitted in Tottenham-court-road, in the - Borough, in Clare street, and a dozen other busy and populous places, should be especially objected to in West minster. If they obstruct the thoroughfares, the inhabitants have the first right to complain, and so long as they stedfastly maintain the contrary, there can hardly be much need for interference. It seems that a deputation from the acting committee in this matter waited upon Sir RICHARD MAYNE last week, and represented to him that the permanent removal of the stalls would entail great privations on many of the poorer in habitants of Westminster, and urged upon him that the resolution on which he had acted had been rescinded by the local Board of Works. In answer to these arguments the Chief Commissioner stated that he had no alternative but to enforce the law. He further said that be understood the stalls were the resort of thieves and bad characters, and that if a market was really needed in Westminster it could be opened in due form. Upon this another meet ing was held in the Temperance Hall, Broadway, to which Sir RICHARD MAYNE'S decision was com municated. The discussion was earnest and ani mated, and that the assembly did not restrain the expression of their sentimenta may be seen from the terms of the resolution, which was carried with loud applause :—" That this meeting, having beard the report of the deputation, is of opinion that the Chief Commissioner had entirely and most unjusti fiably set at naught the wants of the neighbourhood, the necessities of the poor, the requisition of the Board of Works, and the general business of the district; and that the traffic of Strutton-ground, Great Chapel-street, and the Broadway was not obstructed by the stallkeepers, and that the Chief sho u ld Co mmissioner had acted on his own ca price rather than on th e pr i nc i ples of the law of the land. " W e hope som e comprom i se may b e arr i ve d a t, as it is s carcely probable the respectable inhabitants of the district would have taken up the cause so warmly if the Stalls had been the resort of dis orderly persons; and l if th e y were con d ucte d i n a decent and r eputab e manner, giving occupation to many po or persons in ieyginter time, and supplying the wants o f the be av er classe s o f t h e neighbour hood, there can on the establishme no more or reason for insisting upnt Et market sufrer e there n than remain n other localities where they are unchallenged. Mr. BEECHER is determined not Certainly, _ oppor t u nity of appealing t o the t° lose any sympathies of t he English prepieBbentm ents and that he reck ons without his host, a ' edut after all th e t may be exciteme nt and enthusiasm excited by h . the question w ill remain where it was. ratory, on Tuesday e venin g , he tried all that ingenuity can devise, and bold assertion can effect, to make his cause appear the only true and laudable one , and to induce his audience to believe that the party o f which he is a shining ornament is greatly maligned and often misrepresented in this country. Mr. BEECHER certainly possesses one merit as a speaker —he is straightforward and consistent. He boldly lays down his line of argument, and unflinchingly asserts his views, without a shadow o f hesitation or a Particle of mystery. In the first p ce he endea vours to fi x th e li m it s o f th e point at issue to the questi on of slavery. He denied that they would wake slavery Worse by meddling with it, rind did THE SON, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, 001 1 0 BER 22, 1863, advocates and upholders. This so unds allver y fine, ' not approve patting on the back tho se who were i ts but comes rather under the bead of what are termed " embroidered facts." It is well known that no where is there a greater resistance to improving the condition of the negro than in the Northern States. The circumstances of the case favour the opinion put forth by so many that this war is one of " slavery." Because the Slave States, as they are termed, are situated in the territory of one section of the combatants, it is deemed feasible to give out that the question of dispute regards that subject. It seems rather begging the question for Mr. BEECHER to ask the people of this coun try to take their standing point, and judge of the state of e ff t i rs, f rom an A mer i can point of view. It was all very well for him, as an advocate for his special cause, to deprecate their taking their opinions from his opponents, but we must form our judgments and declare our convictions as independent of both sides, and thus be better able to judge correctly of either. If the expression of feeling evidenced in England since this civil war broke out, has been in favour of the Southern States, it is because, after attentive obser vation and mature deliberation, they have displayed the most admirable qualities, and are animated by a love of independence that universally attracts the sympathy and goodwill of mankind. It is a little too much for Mr. BEECHER to tell us at this ad vanced period of the war that the reason why the. North did not go to war in the first instance for emancipation was that they respected " local" rights even before " moral" rights; this, he thought, " was one of those things of which they might be justly proud." This seems rather a strange doctrine for a clergyman to promulgate, and he will have some difficulty in making good his theory, since surely it must be an acknowledged fact that all laws should be subservient to the claims of morality, and no State can flourish that makes them subser vient to other considerations. It must also be said that the idea of " forbearance," as connected with the North, is a very strange one, and if that feeling existed in such force at the commencement of the struggle as Mr. BEECHER asserted, it is a pity that it so soon became extinguished, and utterly vanished from the scene. Its influence did not apieear when General BUTLER asto nished and scandalised the civilised nations of the world by his conduct to the ladies of New Orleans, and its spirit was not very strongly manifested when the Federal troops poured Greek fire among the inhabitants of the besieged city. When a man has all the talk to himself, and is possessed of any considerable powers of oratory, he can always produce an effect, and make some converts to his views, however ultra be their ten dency or prejudiced their character. I t is only by the touchstone of debate that the truth is arrived at, and the general aspect of affairs cleared from the mist of error with which the wisest often envelope subjects in which they are specially in terested. It is a pity that Mr. BEECHER should be so violent in his diatribes against those who have the misfortune to differ from him. It is going too far for him to proclaim at a public meeting that "som e o f th e pu b l i c organ s in this country had deliberately and knowingly suppressed the truth." Abuse is not argument, is a very veracious aphorism, and it would be well if vehe went denunciators w ou ld su b scr ib e t o its merits. Mr. BEECHER went f ur th er , h oweve r, and said that "it was a mo ns t rous li e " t o d e clare that the blacks were not well treated in the North. Mr. BEECHER may plume himself on his sagacity of discernment, and his skill in detecting the feelings of the English people, but he had better take heed to his words, before he recross the Atlantic, and tell the friends he has left there that this country has sanctioned the "significant facts," as h e call s t h em, of the d eten tion of the steam ra ms , an d the speech of E ar l RUSSELL at Blairgowrie. He may make a serious mistake if he enunciate any such theories, and hereafter be glad to retract his words. 'Without being un duly conceited or intolerant, it does not appear that this is the time for an American orator to leave his country and tell us that it does us good for him to speak of our faults. -Whatever these may be they are not intolerance in peace and unchivalrous bearing in war; and till these errors are rectified among the Federals they who fight under the "flag of the cross of St. George" will scarcely fulfil Mr. BEEcHER'S prophecy of acting in u n if orm it y w ith t h ose w ho boast of the flag with the " stars of hope and promise." The Conlln'll Magazine for November contains a timely article on the Mhow Court-martial, by Jacob Omnium, the well-known correspondent of the Times news paper. The facts of the case are all given in a lucid and forcible narrative. ANCIENT INHERITANCES.—The interesting and often - quoted statement made some time since by Lord Palmerston, respecting the uninterrupted descent for nearly eight centuries, from father to eon, of a small estate in his own neighbourhood in the New Forest, relates, as is well known, to the family of Purkis the lime-burner, who picked up the body of William Rufus and carried it in his humble cart to Winchester to receive the last sad rites. But we can place upon record a case of still longer descent of a small property among persons in no way allied to rank and fortune, and who have never risen above the condition of yeomen ; while, we believe, they have never fallen below it. At Ambrose's Barn, on the borders of the parish of Thorpe, near Chertsey, still resides a farmer of the name of Wap shot, whose ancestors have lived, without break, upon the same spot, ever since the reign of Alfred the Great, by whom the farm was granted to Reginald Wapshot. There are several families among our untitled gentry—the county aristocracy —who can trace their names and possessions in a direct male descent back to the Saxon times; but below that rank we are not aware of a more striking instance of permanence among change than the past history of the Wapshots._Once a Week. SINGULAR PHENOMENON.—The Tenby Observer mentions a curious phenomenon which was observed in Carmarthen Bay on] the 6th inst., the day on which the earthquake was felt in this country. "From a base extend ing some thr ee or four miles i n th e di r ection of Awroth Castle, an im mense piece of water, of a dark drown colour (as if holding earth in solution), seemed to be pushed for ward in the form of a cone—of course surrounded by water of a natural colour. As they came in contact the water was thrown up a height of several feet, the agitation extending round the whole edge of the phenomenon. It steadily ad vanced in the same form towards Monkstone, and from thence some miles to sea, when we ceased to observe it. Some friends in amusing themselves with fishing, were not a little startled by the strange sight. When the coloured water overtook the boat, they found that the point of division between the colouring was maintained throughout the depth of the water; the boat was violently pitched about and the water thrown completely over it. Either side of the line of contact was perfectly calm, and the water kept up a lashing noise something like what would be made by an immense shoal of mackerel. It was observed first at about 11 a.m." legatees deeply q — u A es s t o l f h fi a v v e e hi k ari n d o r w e n d INJURIES OF injured A N .

The latest from Chattanooga is up t 3 the 29th ult., and represents the condition of affairs there as unchanged, Rosencranz's position being deemed impregnable, and his communications open. Heavy reinforcements are said to have reached Rosencranz, but nothing definite is known about it outside of the War Department. Accounts from General Meade's army state that there are no indications of immediate active opera tions. Drafted men were arriving daily in large numbers. Nine hundred came in on the 6th •from New York and Vermont. The Federal cavalry are sr.id to have scoured the Shenandoah Valley as far down as Strasburg and Front Royal, finding no rebel forces whatever, A dispatch from Baltimore denies the report that General Imboden had made a raid on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The road is in complete running order all the way through. Information was received in Chicago yesterday that. General Franklin's corps was repulsed in an attack upon the rebels at Brasher City, and that Ord's 13th Army Corps shortly after came up and completely defeated the rebels, No particulars are given, but the news is said to have been offs cially communicated to General Sherman at Memphis. Charleston advices date to the 3d inst. Every thing was progressing favourably. A despatch from Admiral D a hl gre n, dated 3d, h as b een r eceived at the Navy Department. The iron-clads are said to have been engaged with the rebel batteries at latest accounts. It is reported by way of St. Louis that 7,000 rebels from Marmaduke's command, under Colonel Shelby, have entered South Western Missouri from Arkansas for raiding purposes. It is believed that this force is intended to be the nucleus of the Mis souri State Guard, the organisation of which, since the capture of Jeff. Thompson, has been placed in the hands of Waldo P. Johnson, late U.S. senator from Missouri. Washington correspondence of the New York Herald states that tremendous exertions are being made there to seem() the election of Curtin, the Re publican candidate, for Governor in Pennsylvania. It is estimated that 10,000 voters will go from Washington alone, arrangements having been made to defray the expenses with money collected from Government employees. It has been decided not to send the soldiers home to vote, as that movement would create too much dissatisfaction. The Herald states, editorially, that their Wash ington correspondent has given them information of an important character, concerning propositions of peace said to have been submitted to the conside ration of the Cabinet of Mr. Lincoln. It is not known what these propositions are, nor from whence they come. a speech in Maryland A bitter feeling is said to exist i n th e Cabinet B be l t a w ir e , e t n he SelactrteetrarhyaCvihnagseinand Postmaster- General been very severe upon Mr. Chase. General Blair, brother of the Postmaster-General, delivered a speech at St. Louis, in which he assailed the Radi cals in general, and Mr. Chase in particular, in highly denunciatory terms. It is not thought, however, that any Cabinet resignations would re sult from the quarrel. The Russian officers continue to receive great attention. A grand ball to them is on the tapis. 0...................... NEW YORK, OCT. 10. Advices have been received at Washington from Chattanooga up to the 6th inst. On the sth the rebel batteries opened on Rosencranz' position at long range, the longest being three miles and the shortest two and seven-tenth miles. No damag e was done. There is no official confirmation of the report that two of Rosencranz' pontoon bridges had been carried away. Telegraphic communication be. tween Nashville and Stevenson has been restored The Washington Republican contains the following despatch from General 1194encranz' toad-quarters, dated the 6th inst., says :—" Not a man wac injured by the rebel batteries yesterday." The Republican's extra says:—" Other despatches go to show the impregnable situation of Rosencranz. It is ascer tained that none of General Rosencranz' latest de spatches mention anything relative to the situation in the locality of Chattanooga, all of them referring entirely to military details. Other despatches, how ever, recently received by the Government, speak of events in that quarter, and are from General Meigs." A special despatch to the St. Louis Democrat, dated Vicksburg, Sept. 30, says Joe Johnston was at Canton, Mississippi, with 15,000 troops, his supposed design being to prevent reinforcements going to Rosencranz. Gen. Stephen D. Lee had 4,00() rebel cavalry near Vicksburg. Johnston says their victories are useless unless they crush Rosen cranz before reinforcements reach him. The 11lenzphis•Atalantu Appeal says :—" We steal now be recognised. Our securities will rise—Val iandigham will be elected." It was rumoured in Nashville on the Bth inst. that a force of rebel cavalry had captured and destroyed Shelbyville, Tenn. No particulars have been received. The report was discredited. It is thought that the rebel cavalry have divided, part making towards Kentucky to harass Burnside's line of supplies, and part going south against Rosen cran z. A correspondent of the New York World at Nash ville, under date of sth inst., says that the reported capture of M'Minnville by the rebels has caused great apprehension of an attack upon Murfriesboro', and that several hundred persons have fled from that place to Nashville. The total number of wounded sent to Nashvill from Chickamanga battle-field is 5,125. Reinforcements were being rapidly sent forward. The prospect of a great battle was hourly growing stronger. The _Richmond Enquirer of the Bth inst. ecntains the following : MISSIONARY RIDGE, OCT. 5. We opened upon Chattanooga at 1 a.m. from Lookout Mountain, and points along our lines. One shell exploded in the enemy's camps, as well as in the city, setting fire to one house. The enemy re plied briskly from Mocasein Point, and feeby from Star Fort. The firing still continues. OCT. 8. The Tennessee River is rapidly rising. It has already swept away the lower pontoon bridge of the enemy, and submerged the trestle bridge. Major Mitchell, Chief Quartermaster of General Longstreet's corps, died last night. No firing on either side at 11 o'clock to-day. A special despatch from Leavenworth, Kansas, received at St. Louis, Oct. 9, says that intelligence having reached Fort Scott of a threasened attack on Fort Smith, General Blunt left the former for the latter post. On Sunday last the rebel General Cohen, with about 10,000 of Cooper's forces, crossed the Arkansas River east of Fort Smith, and on the 10th joined Caffee at Crooker Prairie, Mo., deter mined to make a raid into Arkansas or Missouri. On receipt of this information, all the cavalry in the Kansas district and a battery were sent to Fort Scott. A letter from Fort Scott of the 7th says Lieut. Tapper, of Gen. Blunt's stiff, had arrived. He re ports that all the staff and body guard of General Blunt had been captured; also the command under Lieut. Pond, at Baxter Spring. Gen. Blunt had got 10 miles away, but it was uncertain whether he has escaped. The rebel army under Quantrel, Hunter, and Gordon was moving towards Fort Scott. That port is in no danger of being taken, the force there being strong enough to resist the attack. The New York, World states that an engagement took place on September 29, at Morgan's bend, 25 miles above Port Hudson, between Gen. Herron's division and a large Confederate force, in which the Federals were defeated, losing several hundred killed and wounded and 1,500 prisoners. The Texas expedition still " hung fire," and the guerilla bands on the banks of the Mississippi have been replaced by large bodies of rebel troops, rendering unin(er rapted navigation of the river very doubtful. A report has reached Louisville that Gen. Crook's brigade overtook several regiments of Wharton's rebel cavalry near Franklin, and routed them, kill ing 125, and capturing 300 prisoners and four pieces of cannon. Union forces were still pursuing. News from Charleston is unimportant. There was some firing on the sth inst. between Federal batteries and rebel works on James Island. The following telegrams are in the Richmond papers of the Bch : " CHARLESTON, Oct. 6.—An attack was made by us to-day on the frigate Ironsides, damaging the Ironsides and alarming the fleet. Two of our men, including Lieut. Gasset, of the Chiavra, are missing. " CHARLESTON, Oct. 6, p.m.—For the last 24 hours there has been but little firing. The enemy's works on Morris Island seem nearly com pleted. " MOBILE, Oct. 6.—. Enemy's cavalry, 1,500, with four guns, attacked Col. Richardson, near New Albany, yesterday. Engagement, artillery. Enemy repulsed. " SAVANNAH, GA., Oct. 7.—Election returns show Governor Brown largely ahead." The Government at Washington has received no intelligence of the reported battle at Brasher City, The War Department has stated, in reply to several inquiries, that no further draft is to be made at present. The report of the Peace Proposition is said to be a canard. The _Richmond Exanzizzer has the following on peace propositions : " We notice that recent propositions have been made in several of our State Legislatures for nego tiations with the enemy and suits for armistice. Tnese deserve unqualified condemnation. They are generally made in artful language; they are very innocent on their face; they are always accompa nied by certain protestations that the interest of the South is not to be sacrificed that the negotiation is to be an essay oa Christian charity, and the ob ject an ' honourable' peace. There is no possible truth in such protestations. They are convenient covers of traitorous designs, or of cowardly ac quiesence in the failure of our straggle. It is not wonderful that if these suggestions in our State Legislatures of pacific negotiations should he in variably interpreted by the North to cover proposi tions of reconstruction. To every candid mind in the Confederacy they can mean nothing else. Those who desire a suggestion of peace to be made now to the South know very well what its price would be. We congratulate the Legislature of this State on the signal rebuke it has given to two attempts at peace propositions in that body. It has shown a spirit worthy of the ancient and honourable com monwealth of Virgiaia, and one that should be in culcated in the war. It is that of resolution to pro secute the war without being turned aside by use less and imratient speculations of peace—expecting that blessing only in the sustained and increased success of our arms, and awaiting it with calm and intelligent confidence in the progress of events." The New York journals of this m orning take a gloomy view of the situation. The World says:— " The news of the few last days from Tennessee and Northern Georgia is calculated to excite no little apprehension for the safety of General Rosencranz throughout the North. We are favoured, as usual, with the most assuring despatches from Washing ton, but the Administration withholds all the facts, and merely prophecies smooth things.' No reliance is to bd placed upon what comes from the War Department. General Rosencranz has only his own army with which to confront Bragg. He will doubt less be able to hold out until Hooker and Sherman arrive, but there will be no little anxiety respecting his situation until more definite information is re ceived from him." The New York Times, on the same subject, says : —" The telegraphic despatches concerning affairs at Chattanooga indicate that the military situation in that quarter is imminently eritice.l. We do not say it is perilous to Gen. Rosencranz, for we imagine that officer now holds his position so stoutly, and has such a largely augmented army, that, in the event of another battle, the chances are greatly in favour of his achieving a decisive victory over the army of Bragg and Longstreet ; but appearances certainly indicate that the peace which has pre vailed on the Tennessee since the 20th of Sep tember is likely soon to be broken, and that the thunder of war which crashed and rolled along the mountain ranges of Upper Georgia three weeks ago will burst forth again before many days." The same journal adds :—" We could wish it was Rosencranz, instead of Bragg, who was giving signs of offering battle." COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YoRE, Oct. 9.

FINE ARTS, A superb painting, from the life, by T. J. Barker, Esq. K.L.H., entitled " The Intellect and Valour of Great Britain," is now on view at the Gallery of Messrs. Hayward and Leggett, 79, Cornhill, previous to its reproduction in the form of a steel-plate engraving. Although but one pic ture four mDst important subjects have been dealt with in a manner perfectly astonishing, and, combined, they form one of the most successful efforts ever placed on canvas. The centre of the painting is occupied by Mr. Cobden, Lord Palmerston, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Earl Russell discussing the terms of the Com mercial Treaty with France, and Sir David Brewster explaining the principles of the Lenticular Stereo scope to a group of scientific celebrities. To the left Adrariral Lord Dundonald is seen proposing his plan for the destruction of the Russian ports, and on the right Sir Wm. Armstrong explaining the construction of his famous can non to the heroes of Lucknow, Delhi, and China; thus we have a gathering of no less than forty portraits of the most eminent men of the present age, forming a souvenir of lasting value. The Premier is hit off with wonderful effect, so also is the Earl of Derby, Lord Brougham, the late Lords Lyndhurst, Clyde, and Dundonald—Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Disraeli, and Mr. Cobden, Sir Wm. Armstrong, General Wilson, the Earl of Elgin, in fact the whole celebrities are so recognisable that the key-plate is rendered entirely un necessary. As a work of art it ranks amongst the very highest specimens. The tone, arrangement, and Effect of the whole is faultless—therefore, were whole columns written in praise of the picture, no other result could be arrived at, We have to compliment all engaged in the pro duction of the work, and cordially recommend all lovers of the fine arts to view a picture that represents the true nobility of a people. INDIANS OF LOWER CANADA.—We have known for some time that the Indians of Caughnawage have been desirous of obtaining the services of a teacher for their children, but it is not a French school they want They say, very truly, that the business of the country is done in English ; the persons who employ them as pilots or otherwise speak English, and it is English they wish their children to learn. They feel very dissatisfied with the state of ignorance and tutelage in which they are kept by the priest set over them by the Church of Rome, and earnestly desire an English teacher. We were not, how ever, aware till now that the same feeling prevails among Indians elsewhere, but we are informed that a similar wish and similar arguments in support of it are expressed by the Indians of Green Island, below Riviere du Loup, and the Indians of Gasp 4. Will no church or missionary society undertake the duty of sending English teachers to these three Indian settlements ?—Montreal Witness. DESMAREST AND MR. WARD BEECHER.— The allusions to France in the course of Mr. Henry Ward Beecher's speech at Edinburgh, which, as was stated at the time, caused considerable pain to M. Desmarest, and other French gentlemen who were present, induced the chairman to write to that gentleman, sending him the newspaper reports of th© whole proceedings, and express ing his opinion that no offence was intended, and that an ample explanation and assurance to that effect had been given by Mr, Beecher. To this letter a reply has been received, in which M. Desmarest says :—" If I had not been obliged to leave the room, and, at a later hour, to depart by the night train to return to France, tot fulfilling a duty which could not be postponed, I would certainly have remained in the audience till after Mr. Ward Beecher's most eloquent speech, and then claimed from your impartiality as chairman the permission of adding a few words, My object in doing so would have been twofold to testify our national detestation of slavery, and to protest against the allusion made to long-continued but long-forgotten hostilities be tween France and England ; and I am sufficiently aware of the true liberality of a British public to know that the expression of my thoughts on that occasion would have met with a favourable welcome from the nume rous assembly over which you presided. You were perfectly right in understanding that if the above-mentioned allusion had caused me a moment of displeasure, it was not at all through a personal feeling of vanity, or even of national pride. My country has acted her part in the great movements of the old and new world, so that she can bear and defy any individual appreciation; but in my opinion, all the old hatreds between nations ought to sleep in the mute grave el history, with their triumphs and their falls; and that it is now our duty, in modern times, to look forward and contribute to the progress of peace and civilisation. No man appreciates more than I do the strong sympath) which exists in England for the abolition of slavery ; but. France has given to that noble cause sufficient tokens of her interest in the past, and can render it in the future s i n o p p a o r r o t i e d r s a n o y f t o il e tl his s l i i o b n era of p su ro c g h ra s m er n v l i e ce i s u , igthhatt be ell expected hurting ge nerous and enthusiastic na tion. Th thee high-spiritedfeelings an d handsome manner in which o f a Mr, Beecher, after your firm and courteous observations, withdrew his words and explained his intention, has touched me to the very heart. I regret I was not there to return thanks to him. The resolution he has taken not to mention it again in the course of his most able and most admirable addresses, is the proof of a noble heart and devoted mind; and I concur in it with gratitude, as being in a sort of com munion with him in the anti-slavery cause."

SANDRINGHAM, Oct. 21. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, his Royal Highness the Prince Christian of Denmark, with Captain Grey, Dr. Holtzman, C.donel Clifton, and Captain Castenebjold, have Leen partridge shooting this morning, on the Wolferton side of the estate. The Princess of Wales, the Princess Christian, and the Princess Dagmar, attended by the Countess Reventlow and the Hon. Mrs. Grey, proceeded to Lynn yesterday afternoon, the Princess of Wales driving a pair of greys. As it wr.6 - the chief market day, and as the town was unusua.lty full, some ex citement prevailed. The Princess of Wales was soon recognised, and received repeated marks of respect on all hands. The welther was very fine, and the town presented a very busy appearance. The Countess of klorton arrived at Sandringham yesterday to attend upon the Princess of Wales as lady iu waiting. - ~p,___ PRINCE ALFRED IN GLASGOW.—Prince Alfred arrived iu Glasgow on Tuesday by the 9.20 a.m. train. He was accompanied by Prince William of Hesse, and was received at the railway station by the Lord Provast and Dr. Strang, city chamberlain. The Prince at once pro ceeded with his party to the cathedral, and in passing through the interior he seemed to regard with much in terest, the architectural grandeur of the building. From thence he drove to an iron forge and a steam-loom factory in the east end of the city, over which he was shown. Hs afterwards visited the extensive printworks of Messrs. Crum, at Thornliebank, distant a few miles to the south of the city; Messrs. Dixon's bar-iron works at Govan; Messrs. Napier's shipbuilding yard ; and lastly, the Royal Exchange, where he was warmly greeted by a large con course of spectators, The Princes signed their names in the visitors' book, and afterwards drove to the residence of the Lord Provost, where they dined. The party left for Edinburgh by the last train in the evening. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam bridge and the Princess Mary, attended by Colonel Home Purves, arrived at Dover yesterday evening in the Breeze. Their royal Highnesses dined at the Lord Warden Hotel, and afterwards left for Cambridge CoLtage, Kew, whence they will proceed to Brighton during the week after next. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge will prolong his visit to the Prince and Princess of Wales at Sandringham, until Saturday next. The Duke of Rutland, we are given to under stand, will shortly take his departure for the East. The noble duke goes abroad for the benefit of his health, and, it is said, is likely to be absent six months. The marriage of Lady Violet Graham, second daughter of the Duko and Duchess of Montrose, with Mr. Greville, son of Colonel and Lady Rose Greyille, which was expected to take place next month, is delayed for a few weeks. Lady Molesworth has left Penearrow, Cornwall, on a tour of visits in Yorkshire. The Dowager Lady Lilford and the Hon. Mrs. Burroughes have arrived at the Queen's Hotel, Upper Norwood. The Countess of Ashburnham gave birth to a son yesterday at Ashburnham House, Dover-street. Lord and Lady Bagot have arrived in Paris from Biarritz. The Earl Brownlow, accompanicd. by Lady Marian Alford, will leave England about the 7th proximo, for Madeira. His lordship's steam-yacht is being fitted out for the voyage. It is expected that the noble earl will not return home until the month of May. The Earl and Countess of Carnarvon are about to entertain a succession of visitors at Highclere Park. The Duchess of Montrose and Lady Violet Graham are expected at the family residence in Belgrave equare in a dly or so, from Buchanan Castle, N.B. It is understood that the marriage of the Marquis of Tullibardine, only son of the Duke of Athole, with Louisa, eldest daughter of Sir Thomas Moncrieffe, Bart., is fixed to take place on Thursday next . . The marriage is to be celebrated in St. John's Episcopal Chapel, Perth; and in consequence of the unfortunate state of the Duke of Athole's health, no public rejoicings will take place. THE FUNERAL OF' MARSHAL D'ORNANO.—TiIe interior of the church of the Invalides was hung with black, and in various places displayed escutcheons bearing the initials of the deceased and the names of the different battles in which he had distinguished him self, On the outside of the Hotel, eight battalions of the Imperial Guard and of the line, three squadrons of cavalry, and two batteries of artillery, commanded by Gen. Soumain, were drawn up to pay the usual military honours, while in the inside that duty was confided to the old soldiers of the hotel. A magnificent catafalque was erected in the nave of the ,church, and fauteuils and benches were arranged in the choir for the ac commodation of the persons who had been invited to attend. Ladies in black occupied the galleries. The other parts of the church were densely thronged. The fune ral service was performed by the Abbe Largentiere, Cure of the Invalides, the Archbishop of Paris giving the absolution. After the service the body, carried by twelve sub-officers, was placed on a funeral car drawn by six horses. On the right were Marshals Vaillant and Regnault de Saint-Jean-d'Angely, and on the left Marshal Magnan and General Schram. The hearse pro ceeded towards the outer gate of the Hotel, preceded by the soldiers of the Invalides and the whole of the clergy. Behind came the charger of the late Marshal, fol lowed by two officials carrying, on black velvet cushions, one the baton of the Marshal, and the other the insignia of his various orders. Count B,udolphe d' Ornano, son of the Marshal, Count Walewski, his son-in-law by a first mar riage, and Prince Poniatowski followed; next, Gsn. Wau bert de Geniis and Count de Toulongeon, aides-de-camp to the Emperor; the Marquis de Chaumont representing his Majesty, and Col, de Franconniere representing Prince Na poleon. Afterwards came the Marshals, Admiral Romain- Desfosses, the Ministers, members of the great bodies of the State, the diplomatic body, &c. On arriving in front of of the outer gate the car stopped, when the body was sa luted by a discharge of cannon, a previous salute having been fired at the commencement of the ceremony. All the troops assembled filed off before the body of the deceased. The hearse then returned into the hotel, and the body was deposited in a vault in the church. theofficialtook placebackonthe the of annexa tion of the Seven Islands to Greece. It is the custom in Athens on days of public festivity for every man who has a gun to amuse himself throughout the day firing it off; there are consequently always some victims to this barbarous diversion. On the present occasion three persons were killed and five wounded ; this was, however, little compared with the usual number of accidents on similar occasions. In the evening ull th© public buildings and the principal houses were illuminated —some even with gas. The majority of the new cafes have adopted as a sign the City of Copea : hagen, or some combination of words in which 'Denmark' or the name of one of the principal Danish town occur. They hope by this means to conciliate the favour of the new regime. The misterial crisis is almost terminated ;we shall keep the raystery as it is until the arrival of the King. In yesterday's sitting of the national assembly, M. Saripulo proposed to publish the names of all persons debtors to the State, with the amount of their debts, which reach a total of about 100,000,0001 r. As almost all the rept., sentatives are indebted to the country, this motion raised such a storm that there was no means of coming to au understanding - , and nothing was decided on. A proposal to send for the corps of artillery and cavalry now at Argos, on the occa sion of the arrival of the Kiug, met with the same fate. A representative, whose name 1 forget, declared on that sub ject that whether the Assembly gave or withheld its consent was of little ituportance, as the troops who are not in the capital are resolved to act without that permission, and will come to Athens on that occasion at all hazafds." ME NEW PEERAGE.—We understand that the title now thought of by Sir Wm. Somerville is not Colville, but Delvin—a choice which is scarcely mere free front difficulty than the former. The difficulty in this case would be of Irish not Scotch origin, inasmuch as the barony of Dclvin has been used as the courtesy title of the Marquii,ate of Westmeath, and is, we believe, actually in abeyance among the representatives of the fourth Earl of Westmeath. That nobleman having been outlawed in IG9I, the abeyance of the Barony of Delvin lies between the families of French, of French Park, Birmingham, and Costello, descendants of his eldest daughter, Lady Nary ; and the Talbots, of Malahide, descendants of her sister, Lady Catherine Nugent,—Dublin Eveiiing Aus Dt.l PrE;i ItaL D,
