The month of October had been spoken of as I likely to witness some remarkable events in the grand contest of the Federal army at Chattanooga with the forces of Gen. Bragg, but nothing of im portance has taken place, although the expectation of some great passage of arms still prevails. "Nhe ther anything will be attempted will depend on the state of the weather, and judging with the expe rience of the past two years to guide us, we may say that it is most likely the two armies will remain nearly as they are until the return of spring. In deed, this is almost the best that can be anticipated by the Federals. Troops are being hurried up by Gen. Grant, not to proceed with the invasion of Georgia, but to defend the Federal communications. It is success for them to hold their earthworks at Chattanooga, to prevent the Confederate cavalry pouncing on their trains and reducing them to ex tremities for want of supplies, The success of Hooker on the 28th seems, if true, to be unimportant, for the Confederates still hold the west bank of Lookout Creek, and the situation of the two armies remains unchanged. If, then, Gen. Grant can do as much as Gen. Rosencrana, and maintain his position daring the winter at Chattanooga, he may be con sidered as having aehieved•all that the Federals can hope for. President Davis speaks confidently at Mobile that he will be unable to do this. The Southern statesman declares that Grant will be beaten and driven northward out of Tennessee. Allowing for oratorical exaggeration, it may be presumed that Mr. Davis thinks tie chances in the Tennessee campaign are in favour of the Confederates. We may give credence to his assertions, since they coincide sufficiently with the correspondence from the Federal camp and the general tone of the North respecting the state of affairs. There is such a remarkable agreement that things are critical, such an absence of the usual prophecies of speedy victory, that we may be sure the danger to the Federal army is real and obvious. The best that can happen to the invaders is to be spared an ignominious and ruinous retreat. The Army of the Potomac appears to be almost forgot ten. This celebrated force, consisting of veterans hardened by three years of war, and foamed from the volunteers a n d con scripts of the highly civilised Eastern States, is now of smaller account than the rough levies which are operating in the Far West. Since their retreat before Gen. Lee they have been engaged in reconstructing the railway, and it is probable that they will have no more active employ ment during the winter and spring. Their num bers have fallen off in a manner most extraordinary, considering the imrortance of the Potomac Army in the eyes of the Federal Government, the large reinforcements continually added to it, and the rigour with which desertion has been lately punished.

Within a few minutes of the time set down tha numbers of the nine runners were exhibited on the telegraph,the last to roach the starter being Blithfield, who, as usual, exhi bited some temper, and was led down with a leading rein, from which he was no sooner released than he broke away, and ran some distance before French and the head lad could persuade him to join his horses. At the second attempt Mr. Marshall effected a capital start, in which Bal ham, next the rails on the far side, obtained a slight ad vantage, with the others lying in a cluster at his hecls,with the exception of Laertes, who refused to move, and was left some distance in their rear. Passing the stand Nebula held a clear lead of Balham, whose immediate followers were the favourite, Golden Pledge, and Fairwater, succeeded by Blithfield, Somersault, and Laertes, but on rounding the stable turn the leader ran out, which left Mr. Morris's horse with a clear lead, closely attended by Golden Pledge, Fair water, and Blithfield, at whose girths came Somersault. Catch-'em-Alive, being unable to act in the dirt, at the same time dropped into the rear, in company with Sea King and Laertes. At the mile-post the :ending horses got upon closer terms, and ran in company to the canal-bridge turn, where Balham once more assumed the command, and came " To Mr. Keating."

Retail by all druggists and P a tent medicine vendors in the world. is probable that Gen. Meade has not now under his command more than 60,000 troops ; with these he can do no more than defend Washington against the eminent commander opposed to him. The fall in popular esteem of this portion of the Republican forces is complete. It is hardly mentioned by the American press. All the speculations and predic tions are reserved for the armies of Grant or Banks. Indeed, the invasion of Virginia seems now to be given up entirely. If the South is to be conquered, the Federal armies must penetrate its huge terri tory in some other quarter. Hence the great efforts to reinforce the Tennessee army and to give it an efficient general. It is most probable that not even next year will an attempt be again made to reach Richmond, but it is quite certain that this year nothing will be done. The weather and the soil in Virginia will now bo an effectual obstacle to an advance. The only military event at a later period last year was the crushing defeat of Burnside at Fredericksburg, and the expe rience of that short campaign serves to show that not even if the Northern general had been victorious could he have made much progress at such a season. At New Orleans there are rumours of expeditions, and there are predictions of great deeds, but so there have been for months, and little progress has been made. The scheme of conquer ing Texas is more easily conceived than executed. The Federal troops can hardly hold down the coun try in the neighbourhood of the Mississippi, though its social organisation, with large properties and a great number of slaves, makes it less able to carry on a warfare of resistance than most parts of the Southern States. But to overrun Texas, a country of vast extent and inhabited by a vigorous popula tion, will bo a far more vigorous task. It is reported that an expedition will land on the Texan coast, and be commanded by General Banks, and that ii will form a junction with Franklin, who is ad. vancing by Opelousa. But it can hardly be sup. posed that ithese forces will do more, even if sue cessful, than occupy some isolated points of that vast region, leaving it practically as much in the hands of its Southern inhabitants as before. But it is also quite prebable that the expedition will come to nothing. The number of troops that can be spared is not large, since the mercy of guerillas, who e ven as it is the traffic on the Mississippi is h fire on the passing lesvessels,rt and General Grant must I be weakening the ern armies by the forces ho is said to be taking t o Chatt an ooga. Such, then, is the state of affairs at the end of 1863. We may ask what has been the result of this year's slaughter. The Federals have suffered a great defeat under Hooker, and they have saved their capital by a desperate battle under General Meade. They have taken Vicksburg and Port Hudson, in which Pre sident Davis, with a strategy which was criticised at the time, and is now generally condemned, shut up large bodies of Confederate troops. But with these successes the advantages of the Federals cease. No real progress has been made in the war; not one of the predictions Thethe North has been veri fied.yearwabsee,anof with Mr. Lincoln's Procla mation, and it expected that the fear of servile rebellion would soon bring the Southern people to terms. But the act has only and their resoluti on to s access to Mr. Davis' be free. It conscription, and enabled the Southern Government to place in the field larger armies than have ever before confronted the invader. At the same time, the effect on the negro popula tion has been very small at every point where Fede ral armies have notpenetrated. Though the tenour of the proclamation is coloured people, the re is no well understood by the and, disposition to dese r t th e ; cause of the whi t e sfurthermore, the idea of conquering the South by means of negro troops, w hi c h wa s embodied int he plan of Congress for has raising 300, 000 blacks,been utterly abandoned. The negroes, in fact, though whereperhaps usef u l f or gar rison duty in place s white population have been disarmed, are not the to meet the whites in battle, and show very little na enthusiasm in behalf of the Union. Thus the m year that was to crush the Confederateaighof 1863—the Government by the overwhelming force o f and will 1 (19 beginning. It a policy—is coming to an end , almost in the same state a s nearer approach approach is difficult to see that th ere is anyh when to a pacification since the tim e l ast November brought with it the end of the last campaign.

The bo mbardment arose out of circumstances connec t e d with the succes sion to a c hiefsahs tributary the ee x t t a r n e e me w sou th er n end of the pen insula, which to the Malay prince from whom we obtained et Singapore. ti We had ar bit ra ted the dispute, and awarded theyci.o fship to the older brother.

Tho Tringana chief was warned to give him up, or send him away, and complaint was at the same time made to Siam. The nuisance, however, was not removed, and, in despair of having it otherwise remedied, an officer of the Singapore Government was sent in a ship of war to Tringana to insist on immediate redress ; failing to obtain it, the ship bombarded the fort, and caused it to be evacuated. This independent action for mischief is an incident common with the feudatories, and even public officers, of all the great States and empires of the East, and it hasoften happened there that we have been along the bottom ground with a clear lead. The favourite was seen to get nearer at every stride as they approached the turn into the straight, and as they neared the distance Balham gave evidence of defeat; Fairwater at the same time took a slight lead of Golden Pledge, and the pair in a few strides further were joined by Blithfield. Between these three a slashing race ensued. At the stand Blithfield obtained a slight advantage, which he retained to the end, and won by a short head, Golden Pledge defeating Fair water by a like distance for second place; Somersault finished fourth, four lengths in the rear, with Sea King at his girths, Balham, whom they passed at the Stand, being next, with the favourite close up ; the others were beaten off a long way.

We have just now followed this course in Japan, and the bombardment of the fort and place of residence of the Prince of Satsuma must be looked upon as an ordinary and necessary expedient of the policy we are compelled to observe with these Asiatic nations. It is by no means a new thing in our dealings with sovereignties contiguous to Japan. For instance, in our first quarrels with China, we acted against the Gover nor of Canton, whore measures were the offence of which we complained, and we hoped by that means to obtain the redress we sought. We have now concluded a treaty with Japan which gives us the right of intercourse with the population, and of travel on its highways. Some of the feudal chiefs of Japan were opposed to the policy of this treaty, and they have shown a determination to prevent European foreigners from reaping benefit from it, Among these the Prince of Satsuma is the most powerful and vio lent. The Chiefs, or Daimios, move from place to place with a large retinue of armed followers; they insist upon having the roads cleared for them, and their retinue attack and ill-treat all who don't get out of the way, even though they have to take refuge in a ditch by the roadside. The prince of Satsuma, with his retinue, encountered in this way a party of Europeans on the high road. The latter were ill-treated, and Mr. Richardson was killed; the rest, w an e eElainmglisrhedrlaeaday; and some punishment s iahm is the t Tycoon, offence amongyet e e e en p w :e o r lll j m t re which a d w t perpetrators Ber whicho f the made outrage. the treaty,T h e Government hhas shown of the itself 'ready to give a money atonement, but has betrayed, indeed has almost avowed, its utter inability to inflict any punish ment upon a Prince so powerful as the Dairaio of Satsuma, or upon his followers. The Prince, in the meantime know ing that the outrage would not be allowed to pass with un punity, made separate and independent preparations for de fence and for war ; he built batteries and bought steamers, cast guns and tiained artillerymen, evidently taking upon himself a part hostile not only to Europeans, but to the policy of the Government with which they are in peaceful relation. Can anybody doubt for one moment that the time had arrived for seeking reparation for the offence com mitted, not from the Tycoon's Government, but from the individual offender, whose residence and prepared fortress, being on the seacoast, were within our reaeh. It was under these circumstances that the British diplomatic officers placed the affair in the hands of the naval officer in command, and he proceeded with a squadron to Kagosima. He captured and destroyed three steamers and a fleet of war junks, silenced the Prince's batteries, and destroyed his fortified residence. If the enterprise had ended here, not a word could be said against it by any one; but, unfortunately, in' carrying out this operation, the town was also set in flames, and the houses of many peaceable inhabitants were destroyed. If the houses destroyed were those only of the retainers and military establishment of the Chief, or of the two-sworded bravos that attended him on his jour neys, not a word could be said against it; for the murderers o f Mr. Richardson were of this class, and that was the out rage which the squadron was sent to punish. But the town destroyed is said to be populous and of considerable size, and doubtless many peaceable citizens were ruined by the evils brought upon them by the hostile attitude and con duct of this feudal Prince. We regret this, and doubt net that the destruction of the houses of such non-belligerents was no part of the original intention ; we assume it to have b e en unavoidable from the position of the batteries, and close contact of the city with the Prince's residence, It would have been impossible for the naval commander to have allowed the purpose of the enterprise to be defeated, and the offending Daimio and his retinue to escape with impunity, because they could not be reached the samehedwitho precincts, and hun ff p t is that ersons there has within has been a devi a ti on i n thi s i ns t ance tofroeemrnedftoilinreeg i precedent of Odessa in the Russian war. It is not likely that our diplomatists in Japan would be blind to the expediency, on every ground of policy, of separating the peaceable inhabitants and general population of Japan from the insolent and overbearing Daimios and feudal chiefs from whom only foreigners have received indications of ill-feeling and ill-treatment; and therefore it is that we take it for granted that they as much regret the burning of the town and shops of peaceable traders as Mr. Cobden himself, and his associates of the Peace Convention. The fact, however, would be justifiable, as we have heret o f ore ma i nta i ne d , even if it were intentio nal. But it is with reference to the future that we should have preferred to see the town spared, if it could have been so ; for it must be our obj ec t, i n a ll d ea li ngs w ith a nation circumstanced like that of Japan, to make manifest the difference between our m e th o d o f war an d t h e indiscr i m i nate slaughter which characterises the operations of an Asiatic army. We did this effectually, and with sin gular benefit, to the operations undertake n i n our l ate war w ith China, and it is not likely that the lessons of that war will have been so soon forgotten. --41- ........._ _ , • , a i 6 /,‘,..--iv " ''' P.A.P.F.'1.1 - ~' ''''':`--- ---.. .7:*4.( : . ,A , . ?A • x. 2 (%tl4-' ___ /Arlo:A-94 i , -i . :4! ,, ,, - . •3 wi - - v-V4 ,, ,,N, i '.!.. r.,4 work.

The mastorti to the demon,. have acced e d - 1 to substitute weight for to allow the pitmen to have a man of their own, upon the pit heap to check the weia•hman in the employ of the colliery owners, to pay for all o ver-weight, and not to confiscate any t u b w h ich is within 561 b. of what may be uwphoiagreed while h s a g s agreeing o p ag o upon to oaa standard do t ab h rs o du tt s uu t br a e n , standard weightuse w e ight. faosrthe m e s The sh re mastersinsist on-setters, the bank smen , and all the expenses putters, of h 0 r t s h e s o e ex and machinery would b e th e same for light as for heavy ones, a serious los s w ou ld b e entailed upon them if the weight of the tub s s h ou l d fall short of a recognised standard. What that standard shall be ~c em° now to be the main point i n di spute. Th e men ' as .sert that before the strike their tubs were entirely confiscated' if they fell short of a fixed standard, a standard so high tht‘t the required quantity of coals could not be got into thorn without rocking and jolting the tubs, in order to solidify the mass, and then filling them up again. The masters are rn iA willing to accept as the standard the average of six Lula filled in the workings without rocking, and the men demand. as the standard the weight of a tub filled " wood-full " on the pit heap. This the masters decline to accede to, inas much as they allege it would practically amount to an in crease of wages to the extent of 9d per score tubs, and this is an advance which, in the present state of the coal trade,, they d o not feel themselves justified in giving. At the begin ning of the week the men belonging to the Brandon Colliery expressed their willingness to go to work on the terms pro posed by the masters, but as the men of the other pits desire them to hold out and assist them in securing their demands, they still remain on strike. The men connected with the Bitchburn and Houghall collieries,also belonging to Messrs. Straker and Love, have this week struck work. They have not yet issued any manifesto of their grievances, but it is understood that they are similar in character to those which have been announced by the men belonging to the Sunny brow, Brancepeth, and Brandon collieries. For some time past the men at Bitchburn Colliery have been on what is termed the restrictive system"—a system dictated by the agents of the Union with the avowed objectof raising wages by limiting the supply of coal. Though able to earn front from 4s to 5s per day of eight hours, the men have for some time past been voluntarily restricting their labours. Re ccrtly they restricted their labours to 2s Gd per day, then to Is 3d per day each, afterwards to one tub per day each, and. on Wednesday morning they ceased work altogether. In other collieries the same species of restriction is being carried on to a greater or less extent, and at nearly the whole of the pita in this neighbourhood there is an under current of disaffection at work, produced by the machinations of the paid agents of the Union. On Thursday a procession of from 600 to 700 of the miners on strike visited Houghall and Shincliffe collieries, near the city of Durham. They held an open-air meeting and numerous harangues were delivered, but the Shincliffe men declined to fraternise with them or acknowledge them in any way. Yester day and the day before a number of the families of the pit men on strike at Spennymoor Colliery, in the county of Durham, belonging to the West Hartlepool Railway Com pany, were evicted from their cottages. Down to Thursday night OS families had been evicted. The strike at this col ' fiery has been going on some weeks. It is directed mainly against an obnoxious overman, named Ralph Parker, whom the masters will not discharge. r& 7 ri, THE NAVY. Mr. J. Stansfeld, M.P., Junior Lord of the Admiralt:, continues his investigation of the dockyard accounts at Sheerness. VALETTA, Nov. S,—Her Majesty's despatch-vessel Psyche, 2, Lieut.-Com. Sterne, arrived on Thursdayafter noon with the late s t d a t es from the Pima , which port she left at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, the 3d inst. On Wednesday the Psyche passed the Russian: corvette Sokol, which left Malta T on Tuesday for the Piraeus. Sokol had arrived here on the Sunday previousfromthe westward . The Psyche passed through a very heavy thunderstorm at S a.m. on Thursday when about 80 miles from Malta, with hail and rain, the wind changing from all parts o f th e compass , Another se vere thunderstorm was experienced the previous night. At On the Piraeus the weather was fine. the arrival of the young King of the Hellenes Admiral Smart, it is said, of fered him the use of the launches, pinnace s , and other of the squadron ; but he declined the offer , his new boats sub jects should take umbrage. All accounts agree in stating that the new King has succeeded in making a very favour able first impression. A lamentable accident occurred dur ing the preparations for his reception. A store of fireworks at the Piraeus blew up, killing and wounding five persons. It is not known when the Commander-in-Chief will return to Malta, as Admiral Smart is awaiting orders from the Fo reign-office. The Marlborough will, in any case, shortly come down here for the purpose of giving the men leave, and she is expected before the 20th inst. Should the Com mander-in-Chief be detained in Greece, he will probably hoist his flag temporarily on the Psyche, or the Gibraltar, 81, Captain Prevost, which arrived yesterday from Eng land, on her way to Greece. Her Majesty's corvette Pelican, 17, left the Pincers early in the morning of the 31st ultimo, for the coast of Syria, Commander Comber having joined her, and Lieutenant Boger returned to his duty as flag-lieutenant. The Queen, 76, Captain C. F. Rillyar, sailed on the same day at 7 a.m. for Corfu, Malta, and England, and has just come in. The Trafalgar, 70, Captain T. Mason, it was reported, would await her orders from England; but the Meeanee, 80, Capt. Wode house, St. George, 86, Capt. the Hon. F. Egerton, and the Orlando, 46, Capt. Randolph, would leave in a few days for Malta. The following is a list of the ships of war at Athens on the2d inst. :—lnglish.—Marlborough, 129 (flag of the commander-in-chief), Revenge, 73 (flag of Rear-Admiral Yelverton, C. 8.), Trafalgar, 70, Foxhound, 4, and Trident, 3 (inside the Piraeus) ; the Meeanee, SO, the St. George, 86, and the Orlando, 46, in Salamis Bay, French—The Ma gicienne, frigate (bearing the flag of Admiral Abbeville) ; the Mouette and Tangier, sloop, paddle; and the Algeciras, liner (bearing the flag of Admiral Bouet Willamuez), who accompanied the King of the Greeks. Austrian—The Frederich (bearing the broad pendant of Commodore Tege toff), the Dandolo, 31 guns, and the Wall and the Seahund, gunboats. Prussian—The Basilisk and the Blitz, gunboats. Italian—The Tancredi, paddle-sloop. Turkish The Brousa, sloop, 17, Hessen Bey, Captain. There was no Russian ship with the Royal cortege, Several Greek gun boats and a Greek merchant steamer joined them on this side of St. Angelo. These Greek merchant steamers fly a pendant, and are Government vessels. The Liffey, 35, Capt. George Parker, the Wanderer, 4, Commander M. C. Sey mour, the Surprise, 4, Commander W. H. Whyte, and the Firefly, surveying vessel, Commander A. Mansell, are at Corfu and different points on the west coast of Greece. Her Majesty's ship Chanticleer, 17, Commander C. Sterling, left Malta on the 31st ult. for the Piraeus, and the Ma gicienne, IG, Capt. W. Armytage, returned thence on the 3d inst. Lieut. Oliver, 22d Regiment, was a passenger on board the latter vessel, which has come down to load stores and provisions for the fleet. The Supply, 2, iron screw storeship, Master-Commander Bowden, arrived from Torbay and Gibraltar on the 2d inst., with stores for the garrison and fleet. The Hydra, 6, paddlewheel, surveying-vessel, Lieut.-Commander Wilkinson (temporary), arrived on the sth inst. from Plymouth and Gibraltar. This vessel has been specially fitted for the surveying service, and has a spacious chart-room on deck. She is very much superior both as regards speed and accommodation, to the old Medina, which she is about to replace. The Growler, tender, Staff- Commander Stokes, went out on the 4th inst. to continue the local survey in the neighbourhood of Gozo, and returned on the 7th. Her next trip will be to examine the new island reported to have been thrown up on the Cherki Rocks, near. Tunis. The following military officers have arrived during the week :—Lieut.-Col. Mattel, R.M.F.A.; Capt. De Lancy, A.D.C.; Capt. Sir W. Fairfax, &D.C.; Col. Dunn, Major Brumell, Capt. Hutchinson, and Assist.- Surg. Adcock, Ist battalion 22d Regiment. The following have left :—Capt. Deane, 22cl Regiment, for Marseilles, and Major Drew, for Southampton. The telegraphic lines in Sicily have been interrupted for some days, owing to the heavy rains. Communication was re-established on Thurs day last, and now messages are transmitted as usual. Her Majesty's ships in port are—The Hibernia, receiving ship (flag of Rear-Admiral Austin, C. 8.) ; the Gibraltar, S 1; the Queen, 76 ; the Phoebe, 35 ; the Magicienne, 16 ; the Icarus, 4; the Hydra, 6; the Growler, 2; the Medina; the Psyche, 2 ; and the Supply, 2." Her Majesty's armour-plated ship Caledonia, 05, 4,125 tons, 1,000 horse power, recently launched at Woolw . ich dockyard, arrived at the Gre at Wore yesterday evening. She will be taken into the harbour of Sheerness at flood tide this day, as her great draught of water renders it im possible to take her into the harbour at any other time. Orders have been received at Sheerness that tho Caledonia is not to be taken to Chatham dockyard, which was the original intention. She is to be t and brought forward for commission. A day's firing at armour -plates took place yesterday at Portsmouth, under the superintendence of Captain Astley Key, C,8., commanding her Majesty's gunnery ship Excel lent, and resulted in a most decided triumph for the plates over the gun. The plates were bolted on the sides of the . Monarch target shi p in the ordinary manner, with 2-inch bolts, and were fired at with the 95cwt. 6S -pounder gun, at a distance of 200 yards. There were four plates, comprising one 41-inch plate from the Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding C o mpany for the Minotaur, one 41-inch plate from Messrs, John Brown and Co., of the Atlas Works, Sheffield, for the Ocean, and one 51-inch plate from the same firm as an ex perimental plate, being made from Arcadian charcoal iron; one 51. inch plate, and one 41-inch plate from Messrs. Cam. sell and Co., of the Cyclops Works, Sheffield. Mee ars, Brown's Arcadian iron plate received nine shots, one of which struck the right lower corner, and broke a piece off 1G inches in length by 15 inches in width. There were three other slight cracks, but the plate was not materially solelyallyineudreude exce pt in its broken co rner, and this dama ge teas to the shot striking at the extreme corner, and where the backing also was afterwards found to be deficient.anu fa c The tur e m etal, however , with w hich M essrs. Brown t h e i r own plates is undoubtedly superior to the it Arcadian tried yesterday, the latter being apparently manu facture of armour plates of the first el too hard for the ass. The Ocean's p l a te, from Messrs. Brown, for a 41-inch plate, could not well, with our present knowledge of armour-pla.to manufacture, be surpassed. It is almost unnecessary to state th a t b o th th ese w ere rolled plates, as none others are manufactured at the Atlas Works. The Thames Company's plate for the Minotaur, hammered, was the smallest of the four, but was undoubtedly one of superior manufacture and metal. Like Messrs. on B e rown's its Arcadian plate, it was severely da magedcorners by shot, and, the iron being there unsupported, necessarily gave way. The two plates sent in as te s t plates by Messrs. Cammell of Sheffield were rolled, and gained for their manufacturers a position never before surpassed by any other plates on their first trial as test plates. The si-inch plate, indeed, in its left centre, re ceived six shots in a space measuring 18 inches horizontally and 2 feet 10 inches vertically. Over this space and through the indents of the shot marks there was nothing beyond three slight surface cracks. The plate received 11 shots in all. The 41-inch received eight shots, and was possibly one shade inferior in quality to the 51-inch. The metal of these two plates, as well as that of Messrs. Brown's 4S-inch, four beautifully fibrous. At the conclusion of the trials of t r b e e d 4 plates several shots were fired at a French manuf,ascsee e with inch plate that was bolted on to the target ship id the French Arcadian iron bolts.

DOMINGO. SOUTHAMPTON, Thursday. The La Plata brings the following latest intelli gence from St. Domingo to the 25th October. Puerto Plata was burnt by the Dominicans on the 4th October. The town was entirely destroyed, excepting the warehouses of Messrs. Ginebra Brothers. All the merchants left were ruined. The fort was held by 1,400 Spanish troops, under Brigadier Rivera, who was anxiously awaiting orders from the Spanish Government, and expecting reinforcements from Havannah and Porto Rico. The Spanish were unable to fetch water for the troops from Rio San Marco in consequence of the losses experienced from attacks of the enemy. They, however, obtained water from Samana, but with difficulty.

In his libretto he has closely adhered to the iEncid of Virgil, Mme. Charton-Demeur was the Queen of Carthage, the imperious Dido and M. Monjauze was the lEneas. The original poem contained the last days of the siege of Troy, but this has been excised.

Authorised Explanation of the Bible. The following important announcement appears in the Guardian : We are peppy to see that the objections brought against certain portions of the Bible are about to be met by leading theologians of the Church of England in a very practical way . It a false and unfair system of interpretation has been applied to the text of Scripture, the best way of con. • futing it is to apply a true and legitimate one. The honour of originating the plan is due to the Speaker of the House of Commons, who consulted several of the bishops on the subject, and the Archbishop of York, at his instance, under took to organise a plan for producing a commentary which should " put the reader in full possession of whatever infor mation may be requisite to enable him to understand the Word of God, and supply him with satisfactory answers to objections resting upon misrepresentation of its contents." The plan has received the sanction of the Primate. A com mittee consisting of the Archbishop of York, the Bishops of London, Lichfield, Llandaff, Gloucester and Bristol, Lord Lyttelton, the Speaker, Mr Walpole, Drs. Jacobson and Jeremie, takes the general supervision of the work. The Rev. F. C. Cook, preacher at Lincoln's-inn, will be the general editor,and will advise with the Archbishop of York and the Regius Professors of Divinity at Oxford and Cam bridge upon any questions which may arise. The work will be divided into eight sections, the first of which will consist of the . Pentateuch, a difficult subject, and will be edited by Professor Harold Browne,the Revs. R. C. Pascoe, T. F. Thrupp, T. E. Espin, and W. Dewhurst, contribut ing. The historical books [ls the Pentateuch, then, not "historical ?"3 will be consigned to the Rev. G. Rawlin son, editor, and the Revs. T. E. Espin and Lord Arthur Hervey, contributors. The Rev. F. Cook will edit, and the Revs. E. H. Plumptre, W. T. Bullock, and T. Kings bury will annotate, the poetical books, The four Great Prophets will be undertaken by Dr. M'Caul as editor, and the Revs. R. Payne Smith and H. Rose as contributors. The Bishop of St. David's and the Rev, R. Gandell will edit the 12 Minor Prophets, and the Revs. E. Huxtable, W. and F. Meyrick will contribute. The Gospels and DkeAeratsWill form the sixth section; the first three Gospels will be edited by Professor Mansel, the Gospel of St. John by the Dean of Canterbury, and the Acts by Dr. Jacobson. The editorship of St. Paul's Epistles is appropriately assigned to Bishop Ellicott and Dr. Jeremie, with Dr. Gif ford, Professor T. Evans, Rev. J. Waite, and Professor J. Lightfoot as contributors, To the Archbishop elect of Dublin and the Master of Balliol is assigned the rest of the sacred canon, This really promises to be a work second only in importance to the LXX., or the English version made by order of King James. Perhaps it will be quoted as " the XXX." The names of the editors and contribu tors, while they ensure orthodoxy, give promise that the comment thus put forth almost with the sanction of the Church of England as a body will not be the utterance of any narrow school or section of it. A HOME INTERIOR.—From the charming new Novel of " Janet's Home," published by Alacmillan. —My dear mother, not having such keen eyes as we had, nor the heart to commit such an extravagance as that of burning more than two candles, was obliged to restrict her emp l o y m ents to winding skeins of Bilk or cotton, rolling t a pe into balls, or unravelling the string and smoothineen g out, for future use, the paper in which parcels had b packed.

He sat very upright, his head slightly bent towards his book; the s trong light , ad the lamp fell on his high, broad forehead, from which the dark hair was much worn; his eyebrows were usually slightly knit; the lips pressed in; the rest of the features and figure in perfect repose, while the restless eyes glanced rapidly t. and fro on the page with a sort of fierce eagerness in them, as if they would tear the heart out of the book. Sometimes, —once, perhaps, in an evening, or not so often --the lips relaxed their pressure, and a slight smile curved their edges, the brows unkuit, the eyes rested on:ill:Ilion, them were raised that my m th y e from the book, and I knew by the li father had read something that had pleased l e fi al m. midst of dry details he had come upon the . record of some noble word or deed that thrilled to his heart.
