Me intelligence brought by the Canada is very much what was expected in this country with regard to the great Presidential contest. When the mail left the question was not indeed actually decided, but no doubt remained of the final result, LINCOLN having, according to the lowest estimate of the returns received up to November 10th a nu merical majority of 400,000 votes and a majority Of 11S against 65 in the electoral college, inclusive of Louisiana and Tennessee. The states of New York, New Jersey, Kentucky, and Missouri are said to have given the Domocrats a majority. This is not surprising in the two latter, whose tenders• cies have always been more than half Southern ; but that the empire State should give M'CLELLAN the preference is very significant. In the City of New York itself the Democratic candidate has a majority of 38,000, and this in spite of the mask being thrown off and BUTLER'S openly assuming the military command of the city. Of course all Southern professions were ready. He would not interfere unless the civil authorities failed to pre• serve the peace. Every citizen should be protected in hia right by the whole power of the Government. The soldiers were the soldiers of constitutional liberty —a novel thing certainly. But like a lady's postcript he added an ominous threat when he an• nouncel the intention of the Government to punish after the election all who should be detected giving fraudulent votes. No disturbance took place during the elections, but in spite of BUTLER'S promised threats the cit:zens of New York have unmistakably pronounced against LINCOLN'S policy. He had better take warning, for he may rouse them to dangerous action. They are not of a temper or a mettle to be trifled with too far, and Mr, SEWARD's declaration that the Government has no idea of adopting conciliatory measures, but that the war must go on till one or the other succumbs through exhaustion, is not encouraging to a people already sick and weary of its useless misery. Meanwhile military affairs aro not promising for the North. bIIERMAN, finding it impossible to hold his great prize, has evacuated and burnt Atlanta, thus car rying Russian barbarism into civilised warfare. SIIERIDAN is at Middletown, with his horses dying of starvation, all attempts to secure forage being frustrated by the Confederate cavalry, and thus it is improbable he can long hold his ground, FOR REST is advancing in Tennessee, and has captured J,hnsonville, which the Federals had previously evacuated, but after a strange fashion, for all their stores, eight transports, three gunboats, the officers and crews, and many cannon, have fallen into FORREST'S hands. For the first time, it is said, LEE'S forces equal GRANT'S, and a decisive move ment was expected on the part of the Commander in-Chief. In the face of all this, Mr. SEWARD'S declaration that the war must go on until one suc cumbs from exhaustion, sounds almost suicidal; for the Federals are growing weaker in men, money, and credit, as surely as the Confederates gather strength. Bat there is one contingency that Mr. LINCOLN and his friends do not seem to take into their calculations. Will the Northern people sub mit to this Reign of Terror for another four years ? It is probable that long before that time New York will throw off the yoke, other States will follow its t ximple, and the final solution of the great war problem may be seen in a fresh rebellion against Republican tyranny. Education is now one of the leading questions o the day, and engages the attention of all who at t-mpt to take a leading part in public affairs. Lord ROBERT CECIL'S observations the other day at Droitwich are worthy of notice, and treat of the subject in a fitting and appropriate style. The im. portauce of the particular thing he moved cannot be overrated, and indeed hardly too much esteemed. It addresses itself to all, either directly or indirectly, as connected with the interests of the community. The passage was as follows :—" That the continued education of the industrial classes after the age of childhood was one of the most important aids to national wellbeing, and as such deserves the best attention of statesmen and philanthropists." In every point of view it is desirable that the full force of thia should be appreciated. In the first place, the children who are removed from tuition at so early an age lose the best time of their lives for in struction, and, whether apt scholars or indifferent ones, must often mourn for neglected opportunities in after years, or else their companions will mark the deficiency if they are not acute enough to feel it for themselves. Again, much harm is done to the health both of mind and body by the injurious system of our teaching at a tender age, and this pernicious practice is very likely to be encouraged to a great extent by the exertions of teachers and the sanction of parents. Lord ROBERT CECIL remarked that many persons seemed to ignore the fact that the educational movement in this country mainly applied to children under the age of twelve or thereabouts, and that the efforts of those who setk to promote the education of adults was almost entirely overlooked by the Committee of Council on Education. Certainly it is not now the way to achieve the object in view to set out with the tacit understanding that much good will accrue to the individual, the community, and the country by a system of education that ceases so preposterously soon. They who know anything of learning and the importance of its being imbibed while the mind is strong enough to receive it, will be tempted to agree with the noble lord when he says that he would rather "take a lad raw and un trained up to the age of twelve than take him for the amcuat of education he carried away with him from school before that age." The intellect must be cultivated up to a much late: period, and, besides this, some time must be allowed to foster the training received, or else the imprese sions .will wear away altogether, if they are not absolutely effaced in the wear and tear of life which meets the young tyro of learning directly he leaves the school for the work of life. The educationalists are assuredly open to some of the charges which are preferred against them in the strictures of this speech. Doubtless they acted from credit able motives, but most mistaken ones, in thwarting the efforts of those who tried to pro mote night schools, where boys of a much older class could be taught and instructed. At that age so much more is done, and done judiciously, that it can affect the character and principles of after life, as well as produce the immediate effects of mental training and moral benefits. The noble lord very truly laid great stress upon the importance of the Educational Grants being continued, and urged that the object of these efforts should be to make working men so appreciate instruction that they would as soon see their eons without bread as with• out knowledge. A better test of the folly and fallacy of the system in so much vogue at present could not be found than that here put—did any one fall back with delight to what they learnt at that early age ? Another strong point was in the noble lord's advert ing to the dislike entertained by some persons to this excessive mania for education, on the ground that no good results ensued to the labouring classes. But, said he, that was because " adult education was so completely neglected." Nor, indeed, can the wildest enthusiast for learning expect that the real object of education can be gained so soon. To sue • teed in its effects its training should affect the highest interests in this world as well as enable its recipients to prepare for hereafter. Mere book learning by rote, acquired at a time when the child cannot grasp the relative proportions of what he learns, and connect different ideas in his mind, may serve the turn of the day, but cannot possibly be a part of that knowledge whose acquisition is a joy for ever, strengthening with his strength, and growing with his growth, rendering him meet to adorn prosperity, and bracing his mind to endure adversity. Without extending to any very great extent, much may be done in a practical form, if only those who receive the infor mation are old enough to imbibe it, and suffi ciently trained to recognise its importance and feel its influence. One thing really appreciated is of more value than a hundred taken up for the fancy of the hour, but laid aside when the next attraction comes. Lord R. CECIL warmly advocated the benefit of institutions like that they then met to encourage, for they held out an encouragement to the working men to abstain from those pursuits which led to intemperance, and seek that relaxation which all must somehow enjoy in enjoyments of an elevating, or at all events of an innocent character. He pointed out, in illustration of his meaning, that great changes for the better had been wrought in the social condition of the upper and middle classes in the last fifty years, and what had been done with one section of the community might be done with the other. " They were men of the same race, men made of the clay, and if they would only apply to the lower what had been applied to the upper and middle classes, they might surely count upon the result." This is the right way of looking at 'ha question, and comes with a good grace from one who himself belongs to the upper ranks of life. The more it is understood and recognised. that the virtues and excellencies, ,vhich arc the real strength and glory of humanity and not confined to one l n a o r b g l e e . observed, intellectual class, the bettor it will be for the community at loirtdtnt:otfhea lie i 7 t h distinction and, as high degree is not likely to be gained by many, and therefore it is wisest and best not to start with such high flown notions which create failures and cause disappointment. The conclusion of this sen sible address was devoted to the consideration of the right subjects for the working man's perusal, and there is great truth in the noble lord's remarks that it is idle to be too strict in that matter. We are not arrived at a "metaphysical millennium" just yet, and if the poor are kept from evil the means need not be too strict or exclusive that assist in the good work. This is wise teaching and t , ue philosophy, if it be not imparted according to the doctrines of those whose tenets are too closely connected with the "cobwebs of the schools." The arrival of the Indian mail still further cone firms the disastrous intelligence of the damsge wrought by the cyclone at Calcutta and its neigh bourhood. When an accident or misfortune has occurred at some distance it often happens that the first account exaggerates the evil, and that matters are not as bad as were at first appre• hended. When, on the other hand, the catas trophe has really been of a serious nature, the passage of time only serves to bring to light fresh tidings of disaster; and to pourtray more vivifly its direful results. Such has been the case with the terrible storm which has recently devastated Calcutta and turned its busy river into a waste of wrecks. The loss of life appears to have been some thing frightful, 1,200 lives having been lost in one district alone ; while it is even calculated that bee tween Calcutta and Diamond Harbour, down the river, 5,000 persons fell victims in one way or another to the fury of the storm. It will be well if that number be not largely increased by want, exposure, and pestilence, for the river is choked with dead bodies of men and animals, while the land is piled with heaps of decaying vegetable matter. The danger from famine among the natives is very great and pressing. A steamer pro ceeding to Durreabpoor found the place deserted, the people having been for two days without food, and having with difficulty escaped. At Kedgeree, still further up the river, the scene was the same— a vessel having been actually blown in-shore off the telegraph office, which was entirely destroyed. The storm was felt here five hours before it reached Calcutta, and great discontent is expressed in the local journals at the want of management which failed to give any intimation of it by telegraph. It is complained, too, that warning might have been sent up from the Sandheads of the approach of the terrible storm-wave to which the greater part of the disasters among the shipping were owing, and which at Diamond Har bour is reported to have been 30 feet in height, sweeping the country bare. The Observatory at Calcutta is, it seems, left entirely in the hands of a native, who, however skilful in some respects, is manifestly unequal to all the requirements of his post. He observed the barometer falling steadily for eighteen hours before the storm, but took no further notice than to enter the fact in his notes. Had he then given warning to the commanders of vessels, or had the telegraph at Kedgeree been set to work at the first signs of the approaching storm, how much might have been spared ! It is too bad that at the present state of the meteorological science, so remarkable an event should occur with out any premonitory signs being noticed, and if a steady fall of the mercury for eighteen hours is to be passed by without comment, there is not much use in keeping up an Observatory. The catastrophe of the sth October was exceptional in its extent and severity; but Calcutta is always liable to hurri canes and cyclones of less violence, and these, it is said, generally come up the bay from the south at about the rate of ten miles an hour, so that if a proper look-out were kept and the telegraph promptly used, there would be ample time for warning the port and town, so that some provision might be made. No care or foreknowledge could neve saved the native houses, or obviated the dangers caused by falling trees and roofs; but the terrible destruction of shipping might have been, in great measure, averted, and a large proportion of the lives 4 , Acrified might have been saved by timely premo nition. Had the natives fled from the shores of the river before the approach of the fearful storm-wavy to which so much of the devastation was owing, we should have a less melancholy recital. In the words of Miss INGELOW'S pathetic ballad— " That flaw strewed wreck upon the grass, That ebb swept out the flocks to sea;" end, unhappily, the flJeks were not the only things that suffered. The condition of the natives at the time the mail left was most deplorable ; and owing to the absence of all officials from the capital, no public steps were taken for their relief. Private benevolence, however, as is usual when Englishmen are concerned, stepped in to the rescue, and not withstanding the heavy losses sustained by most of the private firms of Calcutta, a meeting was held at the Chamber of Commerce on the 13th of October far the purpose of relieving the more pressing wants of the sufferers. Llrge subscriptions were quickly raised, and one of the Bombay Company's steamers was sent down the river with rice and other neces caries for distribution, and another supply was for warded by rail to the Piallee river. There are two drawbacks to this otherwise gratifying intelligence —the first being that the wealthy Hindoos showed great unwillingness to subscribe for the relief of their starving countrymen ; the second, that the benevolent donors have to pay from their funds £lOO per day for the use of the steamer, a sum which would be much better laid out in further supplies of food for the famishing. People at Cal cutta were looking anxiously for the return of the local government, which might lend steamers for the assistance of the stranded vessels and other purposes ; and it seems strange that so advisable a proceeding should have been delayed. It is no doubt wise and right for the members of every department to have the benefit of change, and air, and scene to lighten their round of duties, but such a catastrophe as this cyclone should certainly have brought the officials to their places again with as little delay as possible. When the police reports tell us of nearly 90,000 native houses destroyed, and more than 2,000 European houses damaged, besides the terrible loss of life and property on the river, it is high time that the Executive Govern ment should do all that lies in its power to mitigate so great and extensive a calamity. The arrival of the spring tide was anxiously watched for as the only chance of getting some of the vessels off, and it actually succeeded in bringing off several large steamers, though the Thunder, 1,400 tons, and many other fine ships, were still high and dry when the mail left. By the time the next mail arrives we shall, it is to be hoped. have intelligence that active steps have been taken to repair so much of the mischief as is reparable, but the experience of this storm certainly shows some great deficiencies in the management of a port where such a catas t r ophe, if not frequent, is at least possible.

The Presidential election has passed off quietly Abraham Lincoln has carried all the States except Lrsey, Kentucky, and Delaware. His mejority is 225,000 votes. M'Clellan's majority in New York city is 37,000. Two-thirds of the Congress aro Re• publican. Seymour'e election is doubtful. It is reported that Sherman has burnt Atlanta, destroyed the Chattanooga Railway, and marched with 5 corps direct for Charleston, South Carolina, leaving two corps to watch Hood. The report is discredited at Washington, but a general belief prevails that Sherman is making an important movement from Atlanta towards the Atlantic seaboard. The enrolment of negroes at Mobile has been delayed. The New York. Times states that America owes Brazil satisfaction and an apology, in accordance with the usage of nations, for the seizure of the Florida. Treasonable plots have been discovered at Toronto.

NEW YORK, Nov. 8 (Evening). General Butler has assumed the command of the troops in the State of New York, and has established his headquarters in this city. He announces that sufficient :troops will be detailed for duty in the eastern district to preserve peace, and says that if the Government had received information that a raid similar to the St. Alban's raid was contem plated, there would have been no necessity for pre cautionary measures. Soldiers will not interfere with the liberal franchise, and will see that there is no interference with the elections unless the civil authorities are overcome by force. The election to-day has proceeded quietly as far as is known. It is positively asserted that General Butler has warned several gold brokers that they must not speculate in geld Zo the detriment of the Governs meat. Sherman's headquarters were at Gaylesvillo on the 27th. The New York Ilerald asserts that he had sent one corps to D.cattir to operate against Hood, and moved the remaining five corps to At lanta for an offensive campaign. It is reported that Hood with the remainder of his army had succeeded in crossing Tennessee with his batteries between Paducah and Johnsonville. His forces are 12,000 strong and 15 guns. He captured and destroyed the Federal gunboats and transports at Johnsonville, securing the efficers, crews, and a considerable amount of stores and artillery. It is reported the Federals had evacuated John sonville. A report has been received at Nashville, which, however, requires confirmation, that Hood, having attempted the passage of the Tennessee, at Mount Blue Water, had been repulsed with considerable loss, Hood has issued an address to his troops, stating that Sherman could hold neither Atlanta nor Nashville, and that in the next battle he would lead them to victory. NEW YORK, Nov. 9 (Morning). Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Sohnson of Tennessee have been elected President and Vice , President. NEW YORK, Nor. 10. Advices from General Grant's army state that hostile movements by either a ra r i m n y s . prevented any Arrangements have been made for the Exchange of all sick and wounded prisoners.

Price has been defeated at Newtoaia by General Blunt, and is retreating towards Cassville with large trains and a number of unarmed conscripts. Rosencranz and Pleasanton have returned to St. Louis, The Federals have re -occupied Plymouth, North Carolina. The Confederates evacuated the city on the approach of the gunboats. The Confederates have enrolled the negroes in Mobile between the ages of 15 and 45. An enormous torch light demonstration has taken place in Navy York, in honour of M'Clellan. Numerous citizens in Chicago have been arrested, charged with a plot to burn the city and release the Confederate prisoners. The Democrats have •issued a protest, declaring that the arrests were made an excuse for military interference at the polls. Mr Seward has made a speech on the issue of the election, He said there was no question before the peopl e o f a b andon i ng t h e war measures against slavery, o r o f changing the object of the war from the maintenatce of the union to the abolition of slavery. Slavery `was the mainspring of the rebellion, therefore the Government strikes everywhere. The Government will not abandon the conflict until the majority of the people desire it shall be abandoned. If Lincoln was elected, the rebels would humbly sue for peace. He would never surrender to the rebels. Ho wanted no armistice, no cessation of hostilities, no negociation with armed rebels. The privateer Chickamauga continues her depre dations, It is reported that the Canadian steamer Georgina has been fitted out ad a privateer, and is now on Lako Huron. The steamers Annie and Lucy have been captured, T rhe America and the City of Baltimore have arrived out. ITALY. TURIN, Nov. 21. At the evening sitting of the Chamber of Doh, ties yesterday, the entire financial bill submitted by Signor Sella was agreed to by 137 to 77 votes. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Nov. 21. Lord Napier had an audience of the King to.day and presented his credentials as British Ambassador to the Prussian Court. His Excellency afterwards visited Herr von Bismark. Count Karolyi has also been received by the King. The Prince of Hohenzollern leaves for Vienna tomorrow. A Berlin letter states that M. de Bistnark for warded a despatch to Vienna on Monday last, de claring that Prussia consented to resume the com mercial negotiations as desired by Austria, with the reservation that the independence of the Z)llverLin, with regard to the treaties it might conclude with other nations, should remain unhampered. In the official circles of Berlin it was expected that Austria would, in return, make political con cession to Prussia in the affair of the Duchies, especially in supporting in the Diet the demand for the withdrawal of the Federal troops. In any case, as this measure cannot be taken till after the repeal of the decree ordering the execution, there will undoubtedly be a warm debate in the Diet, which assumes to have interests to uphold in Holstein. Apprehensions are enter tained that Prussia, if she succeeds in obtaining the withdrawal of the Federal troops and civil commis. sioners, will also insist on Prince Frederick's de parture, with a view to realising the project of annexation attributed to M. de Bismark.

Other per• sona.ges were also presented to the Emperor on the seine day ; among them Baron do Vriere, formerly Minister of Foreign Affairs in Belgium, and Count Puliga, Charge d'Affairs of Italy. The bulletin of the Paris Observatory gives the following as the atmospheric state of Europe yesterday :—" The new tempest, which is muoh more circumscribed than the preceding one, has its centre at present in the neighbourhood of Perth, in Scotland. It will probably soon re move to the Uerman Ocean, and afterwards to the Baltic. The barometrical pressure is rapidly rising in Spain and Portugal. The probability therefore is that the high winds will temporarily subside on the Western coasts of Europe; but the very rapidity of the rise of the barometer on the Peninsula is a sign that fresh storms exist on the surface of the Atlantic. The wind is at present very strong in the Channel, and rather less so on the coasts of Brittany and Biscay. It is feeble on the coasts of Provence, Na hero the mistral will soon make its appearance."

In 1860 she devised various schemes for the employment of women, and collected together a band of female compositors, through whom she founded " The Victoria Press," which up to the present time she has conducted. SUPPOSED Loss OF A HULL STEAMER IN THE BALTIC.—Great anxiety prevails among those whose friends form the crew of the screw steamer North-Eastern, of Hull. The North-Eastern is a vessel of 600 or 700 tons burden. She belongs to Messrs. Wilson, Sons, and Co., Hull, and was under the command of Captain Borou,gh. Since the closing of the Petersburgh trade by the appros Loh of winter, the North-Eastern has plied between Hull and Dantsic. She is known to have left the port a fortnight ago, and up to a late hour on Friday night the owners :had not received a telegram of her having passed the .Sound, which they usually do within a day or two of their vessela leaving Dauttdc. The North-Eastern was manned by a crow of about 20 men, and it is supeosed that she had a few paR,4 , clangers. rHE SUN, LONDON', MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 21, 1864. Viceroyalty of Ireland—Cui Bono, TOLLING OF THE BELL FOR ITS FUNERAL. Scotland has had no Lord Lieutenant " to meek the air with idle State," yet her progress in population ) wealth, and industry, with a more rigorous climate and a poorer soil, is far greater than that of " the first flower of the earth and first gem of the sea." Blessed or cursed (according to the opinion of various parties) with a pseudo-monarch, who holds a mock court in Dublin for the entertainment and amusement of the shopocracy, mercantile aristocracy, mili tary and professional men of the metropolis, and as many of the second-rate and smaller gentry dwelling in the beauti ful suburbs. The tailors and miliners of the city may be benefited, but as to the former it is doubtful, as we often see Court dresses, with the other paraphernalia, advertised in the papers for hire on Castle days, at a moderate rent. Edinburgh has much increased in population; Glasgow has quadrupled ; Liverpool and Manchester has advanced with equal strides, as well as our own Thlfast, but Dublin remains in static quo, owing to the dark shade of the Castle and its backstair influence. Among the classes attending the levees and drawing rooms of the Viceroy a good deal of sensitive feeling exists. The country squire, the western Fodeen, " the lord of heather and rushes," thinks ,himself a better man than Viceroy's knights, and his wife and buxom daughters look down with contempt on Lady This or Mrs That, the wives of belted knights, wealthy merchants or eloquent lawyers. These, in their turn, play the same part to,those they think a peg lower, and so it goes to the bottom of the ladder. Lady Haddington, a quarter of a century ago attempted to raise the qualification, thinking the wives and daughters of her tradesmen were not in their proper places when attending levees and drawing rooms, and she was right, though she failed. The want of industry in Dublie, and the distaste for a commercial life, may fairly be attri buted to the desire of admittance to the Castle, which en courages a "enter habitue supra vires" among the families unfortunate enough to have this privilege. The Viceroyalty is a delusion, while Royalty, with the Phoenix-park as one of its residences, visiting us annually, would be a reality, Tho sooner the exchange is made the better. We will give an imaginary meeting of the Cabinet at the Irish-oflice,and the supposed opinions of the members. The Veteran Premier in the chair, and to his questions as to what each thought of the Viceroyalty, the follow ing answers were given :—Sir Rebert Peel—A bore. Earl Russell—A sham. Mr Gladstone—Lelanda est Carthage. Lord Granville—Remove that bauble. The others nodding assent, the Premier remarked that it was sheer nonsense to have a mock court there, which kept her Majesty from one of her finest parks, where she might reside a couple of months in the year. lie had 8,000 acres in and around Dublin, and he had no doubt but his property would be much increased in -alue by the change, as the citizens instead of Castle hunting would devote themselves to industrial pursuits. No city in the empire presented greater facilities for commercial enterprises, the railways North, West, and South centreing there, woulel be soon all connected, and two canals larger than any in England, giving a great !nternational navigation with the Shannon, the Erne, and the Suir ; but these cheap water ways are comparatively neglected owing to the Castle. As the Cabinet were unanimous he thought Lord Wodehouse would be the best man of business to wind up the old clock, which had already been ticking too long, and never could keep time, running one day too fast and another day too slow, as the wire pullers were at work, The Viceroy with the Chiet Secretary as his good man Friday, resembled Punch and Judy (here Sir Robert laughed). As we have come to this decision we may as well call in Wodehouse, who is warming his toes in the next room, and Peel can lecture him on his duties. (We pause for the present, re• serving the schoolmaster's teaching for another oppor tunity.; Before separating they drank the Viceroy's health in a bumper, Sir Robert calling for a second for "Royalty in Ireland," which was cordially responded to. The Liverpool Albion states—No little anxiety was felt by political parties here to ascertain which answer Lord Wodehouse would make to the Flapdoodle address of the Corporation of Dublin. Nothing could have been more dignified than his Excellency's reply, and it has elicited general approbation. 11Ir Vereker and his cooperators did not entrap Lord Wodehouse into a pledge to oppose the abolition of the Viceroyalty, nor did they get him to endorse their statement that the narrow spirit and the jealousy with which the Galway Transatlantic Company had to contend necessarily eventuate in its failure. 'With respect to these and several other assertions which the Corporation made as if they were admitted and incontrovertible facts, his Excel lency replied—" I am sure you would not expect that on my arrival among you I should at once pronounce opinions on subjects which have been or still are matters ot controversy." But that is just what the Corporation wanted to make him do. The must have since learned, if they did not know it beore, that the new Lord Lieutenant is a man of ability— much too able a ono to bo thrown away on such a sham office. Very appropriately, Lord Wodehouse wound up the day of his arriving by dining with the Hibernian Catch Club. As his principal responsibilities in Dublin will be those connected with lcveea, dinner parties, and balls, he did right not to lose time in entering upon the active dis charge of one of his chief duties.—Cork Repoi tor. THE MIDDLE TEMPLE AND THE INNS OF COURT (DEVIL'S OwN) RIFLE VOLUNTEERS.—At a parliament held on Thursday evening last the benchers of the Middle Temple consented to grant the use of their hall for the volunteer dinner which is to be given on Tuesday, the 29,11 inst, An account was given about two years ago of the escape of a certain number of convicts from Ca) enne. One of them, a man named Halloticz, who was under sentence of penal servitude for lire as accessory in the crime of parricide, has just been recaptured at Mantes. Ho appears to have first reached English Guyana, and from there suc - essively passed to Barbadoes, St Thomas, Porto Rico, and New York ; from the last named place he embarked for Franco, and landed at Havre, Oct. 23, 1863. In the month of April last the authorities received information that he was employed in the woods at S innois Seine-et-Oise) as labourer; he had obtained possession, it is not known how, of a passport. bearing the name , of Crenuier. On hearing that his whereabouts had been dis covered ho eeraped before he could be arrested. He went to Mantes under the name of Rendu ; he here became ac quainted with the neico of a small innkeeper named Lavigne, and made her off,r of marriage, although he had a wife still living. He had declared himself to be a native of Valdampierre, and Lavigne having written to the mayor of that place to make inquiries as to the character of a man named Ronda. who had been living at Mantes for about six months, sus picions were excited, for a person named Rendu in reality resided at Valdampierre, but had not left his native place The gendarmerie being communicated• with, Rendu at Mantes was identified as being the missing Hallotiez, but he again succeeded in escaping and got away. However, a few days back ho wished to see his mother, and for that purpose returned to his native village, where ho was cap tured. He has been taken to Toulon, and w ill be sent back to Cayenne by the first convict ship. NARROW ESCAPE.—During the height of the tempest which prevailed the day before yesterday in the Atlantio, a pilot boat was observed by the look-out at Nantes to be making for that port. She was, however, presently seen to miss the regular channel, and run ashore on the mud outside. Several persons went to the assistance of the little craft, but were surprised to find that the only person on board was a boy, who made the following state ment :—" My name is A'phonse Denis, and my age twelve years and a half. I am a native of St, Nazaire, and have been for six months employed on boatel pilot boats. This sloop, the Vipers, left St. Nazaire on the 6th, having on board the master, two pilots, and myself. We put the pilots on board two ships, and were returning to St, Nazaire when the weather forced us to put into Belle Isle, which we left this morning. The weather being calmer we set sail, but the wind presently recovered its former violence, and the sea washed over our decks, I told the master we had too much sail on, but he was too much occupied in steering to pay any attention. We ap approached the Four' rock, but passed too near the tower to be in the right channel; suddenly the sloop touched on the rocks, and the waves, which were as high as the top of the mast, threw her on her beam ends. We clung to the bulwarks which were above the water, and the master cut the rope of a little boat we had in tow, and jumped in ; he asked me to follow, but I said I preferred remaining in the sloop. Ho then put off, but had not proceeded more than three boat's lengths when his craft was swamped and man and boat disappeared. Shortly after the sloop was raised by a wave, and the wind catching her sails, sighted her. This was about one in the afternoon. The sloop not being water-logged, 1 steered for the nearest land in order to save myself. Not being acquainted with the coast, I did not know which direction to take to avoid the rocks. I passed between Piriac and the Island of Met, and made for th( bottom of the bay, hoping to reach port Navalo. I how ever presently saw the masts of the ships in the port rising over the coast—l made for the shore, and not being able to get the anchor out as the chain was entangled, I run her ashore hero on the mul. Tho naval population 'gave this gallant little fellow three cheers, and took him off to break fast. APPARATUS FOR MEASURING THE SPEED OF A TRAIN.—The necessity of an apparatus for measuring the rapidity of trains, in order to ascertain whether they have kept within the bounds assigned to it by the regulations has long engaged tlik.attention of the engineers. This pro blem, it is asserted, has been solved by MIL Borde and Meritens, by an apparatus consisting of a pulley placed in the centre of a large wheel, and receivhg motion by means of an endless strap from ono of the wheels of the locomotive, or ono of the carriages. The large wheel turns indepen dently of the pulley, and by means of a system of gearing, it effects a single revolution during the whole trip, while a second pulley, put into communication with' the first one, turns with the same rapidity as the latter. Meanwhile a centrifugal regulator impresses a forward or backward motion on a pencil, according as the rapidity increases cr diminishes, and the marks lett by this pencil on a piece of circular paper determine the rapidity of the train at a given moment, 61,117 r, HER MAJESTY.

"al THE EARL OF DERBY.— We have much pleb- - in stating that Lord Derby may now be considered Ca l ; lescent ; but the attack of gout having been very sever er has left his lordship exceedingly weak. The marriage of Lieut.• Col. J. Ross FarquhaW a l of the Scots Fusilier Guards, with Elizabeth Louise, el d- e , daughter of Alexander Oswald, Esq., of Auchenera A il e f and the late Louisa Oswald, was solemnised on Sata r ' e g morning at St. George's, Hanover-square, in the pre seli ol of a numerous and distinguished circle of the friends A relatives of the two families.

SHIPWRECK AND LOSS OF LIFE.—One of tb °° sad events which are but too common on many parts (405 treacherous coast has again occurred in the vicinity 0 Southport. On Friday afternoon ; while the recent gal e %g ip & still at its height, a vessel, apparently somewhat disa b "i4 was seen beating about in dangerous vicinity to the b sII 4 which abound in the estuary of the Ribble. Soon si te ; t o'clock she appeared to strike, and a crew was at onc e ' l , l ° , together to man the Southport lifeboat. S a me doubt, h ° l, ever, was still felt as to the necessity of visiting the ve t o especially as she did not answer the signals which s ge 6 made to attract the notice of the crew, and it was af t6 . :o o'clock, and consequently quite dark, when the lifeboa t 7 0 4 launched. The crew of the latter immediately pulled f° e 0 Horse Bank, on the further side of which the ship had last seen, but they could see no signs of a wreck, and r e " a search of more than four hours they were compelled i° . o % turn unsuccessful. At daylight on the following roe r t i ie the lifeboat again went out, and the crew were not 1 0 %0 discovering the foundered vess e l, hi g h an d d r y o n the v i l ye above alluded to. On going to her they found th i ti ; i te crew of the Lytham lifeboat, whi c h it a pp ea r e d ha° '. c et wise been cruising about unsuccessfully on the pre o , night, had reached the wreck b e f ore the m , as h a d a 01 : 4 - 0 side shrimping boat, and the latter had rescued the only of the crew—a negro— who esc a ped a water grave. f u eti what could be gathered from this poor fellow, who eva o iief f half dead in the foreceotle, and who could speak bnts'ele imperfect English, soon after the ship struck two °h olt crew were washed into the sea, Afterwards all en b °, - t tet with the exception of the negro and the captain—toil e p if being ill at the time—took refuge in the rigging of fh e " t bei remaining mast, which gave w a y, an d th rew th e m altog e o ce into the water. On reaching th e w re ck th e Southport god found the dead body of the captain in th e h o ld, and rot up the remains of one of the seamen on th e b an k.

She is 6 j e j feet wreck, haying portions of her sides stove in, he r . 1 0 1 broken up, and both her masts washed away, while ro s9 ; oo s her cargo is lost. From the entries in an accoun t ' p eti which was recovered, it is inferred that the vessel Was lieti or chartered by Messrs. Isaacs, Reader, and Co., oa, the name of the captain was John Harris. Her cr e w passengers numbered 15, of whom but one is saved. o d SHIPWRECK AT FIFENESS.—A storm of 6 00 violent nature raged on the east coast of F ifB fei l Thursday,about noon of which day a schooner was oh° drifting in towards the land in spite of every exerf ici d li d v eS parently used by the crew of the vessel. The Coastgli sr co d' were soon on the alert and prepared to meet the eniers About 1 p.m. the vessel was seen to strike on a reef ofl it? to the east of Kilminning Castle, and a messenger s": 6 3 01 mediately despatched to Crail to apprise Lloyd's age u " d of the disaster. The agent immediately got a horse BC. oil with such appliances as could be laid hold of, but th are r e no rockets to be had. Before the horse and cart had Ilr er ee i from Crail Mr Crombie, farmer, Kilminning, who d es d oy t the highest praise for the energy he displayed, Il e t :Iod e of his farm carts yoked, and had the salmon.cob le ing to Mr. Thomas Meldrum, blacksmith, Hallttart was lying about half a mile to the westward, coror e i ° s j that part of the coast opposite the disabled ship.

He was warned by those on 08 ,0 1 ;4 not to do so, and he gave up the attempt. As 5 °°71 .00,0 eoble was launched, a great many volunteered their roetro to man her, and the following were selected oop on , Meldrum, Charles Bottrel, James Thoms , gr ee t Brown, and George Clark.
