This Company is establish ed for at purchasing and w o o n r k t l n h g e the celebrated Iron Wor ks, situate Neustadt, Hanover and Bremen R-ilway. These Important works, well knowninGe i rm n l a B n s y 6- fa , r a t t h a e pro d uc tion of Charcoal Iron, were established cost ex ceding £340,000. According to a report by John Hedley, Esq., of Derby, one of H.M.'s Inspectors of Mines (which report may be seen t the Office), the works consist of two blast furnaces— a foundry containing cupola and arrangements for a large casting busi ness—a forge—bar and plate mills with eight pairs of rolls — shears —lathes, &c., capable, with slight additions, of turning ou t annually 5,000 tons of boiler plates, and 3,000 tonspower— of bars, he whole of the machinery worked by steam tone her with ample storehouses, workshops, and offices, and cottages for twe sty-five families. The buildings are of a more substantial kind than is usual for such purposes in England, and the machinery, which is constructed with all recent improvements, is in excellent condition, having been used for a short time only. The deposit of iron ore belonging to the works is practi cally inexhaustible; it is of very pure quality, of the s ime composition as the clay band of the coal measures, and con tains from forty-two t forty-four percent. of iron according to the analysis of Dr. Percy, of the Government School of Mines in London. As this masa of ore lies open to the day it is worked without the expense of sinking shafts, pump ing &c. The fuel employed being half wood charcoal and half peat, en tirely free from sulphur and phosph rus, plates and all other descriptions of the finest quality are manufactured. The extensive forests in the neighbourhood, and an inex haustible deposit of peat from 20 to 30 feet in thickness— which is prepared at the works—supply the requisite fuel at a cheap rate. Coke is supplied by neighbouring collieries, of a quality equal to the best North of England coke, with which superior Iron for casting purposes can be made, and for which there is an extens ve demand throughout Germany, at a price which will leave a large profi'. The Iron made at these works is adapted for the manufac ture of first-class plates, bars, tyres, and steel ; and from the tenacious and ductile character of some of the mixtures, supe rior armour plates for hips can be manufactured. For the csnvevanc,e of fuel ,nd products of the works the property includes eight miles of railway, three feet gauge, besides two and three quarter miles of main line, branch and sidings connecting the works w•th the Hanover and Bremen line, and thus with all parts of Germany. The works are erected upon about fifty acres (65 Morgen' of freehold land, and there is also a copyhold farm of 172 Morgen (about 130 acres) on which the Iron ore is worked under concession, comprising also a farm house and home stead for the tenant. Six hundred and fifty tons of Puddle Iron and about twenty milt on pieces of dried peat remain upon the property, and will be included in the purchase. In consequence of the excessive outlay made by the Com pany who established the works, together with the mercan tile depression at that period, financial difficulties brought them to a stand. The whole is now offered at a very low price of £leo,ooo—being less than half the original cost. The Company, now purchasing the Works, may at once commence business, avoiding the delays necessarily attendant on the first erection of works of such magnitude, and there fore with a prospect of an early dividend. An experienced resident Manager will be sent from Eng land. Upon this total capital of £230,000, with the extensions proposed, Mr. Hedley, after carefully estimating the cost of production, and on the supposition that the present high protective duties of the Zollverein on foreign iron are repealed (which is not expected for years to come) shows a clear profit of upwards of 20 per cent. With the first issue of 7,500 shares, representing a capital of £150,000, the works can be started to produce 1,200 tons of bars, and 4,500 tons of plates annually ; and after paying interest at the rate of 5 per cent on the mortgage of £50,000, a dividend of 11 per cent. may be realised. There is also a considerable item of profit in re-rolling rails of the Gsrman and Austrian railways, which at present are sent to the Westphalian Iron Works, w.th a carriage of 303 miles beyond Neustadt. The additional furnaces for manufacturing coke iron, re commended by Mr. Hedley, and for which the unissued shares will be called, will be postponed for the present. The prospective reduction in the cost of ore to ss. per ton ; when the line from Ringleheim to Hildesheim is constructed, and the mixture of coke iron, will add about £6,000 annually to the profits. Prospectuses and forms of application may be had at the Temporary Offices, and of the Brokers, Solicitors, and Bankers of the Company. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

PRICE, plight. But let anyone go through the same amount of exposure in England, and he will an certainly be cut off by consumption as the bishop and Mr. Birrup were by fever and dysentery. When I began to travel I walked through streams, and braved rains in the same way the bishop did; but I found that I had fever continually, and gave up the habit, though it was really pleasant to have the extremi- ties cooled. You will perform a good service if you warn all Europeans going to the tropics to take as good care of their health there as they do at home. In addition to the loss of invaluable services, these untimely deaths are a great misfortune to the cause of African civilisation, because people immediately ascribe them to the inevitable effects of the climate, and with you say " it is of no use to send mission arics where they cannot live." In our expedition, though we have undergone exposure to which no missionary need subject himself, we have had but two deaths among a large number of Europeans in four years, and these were caused by detention sorely against our will in most unwholesome locali ties. To-morrow his royal highness has, indeed, a and fatig u i ng d ay. H e leaves the Mayor ' s long residence in procession at 11, keeping along the road on the edge of Shircoat-moor, where one of the most extensive and magnificent views, in England at least, is to be gained down Todmorden valley, in the most beautiful nook of which " Pye nest," the seat of Colonel Edwards, M.P., is situated. The prospect from this part is almost un equalled; nor do the long stalks of chimneys which occasionally appear from between the bases of the lofty hills at all disturb its beauty ; the very smoke they give is almost a picturesque adjunct that sets off the foliage above them and the cool rounded blue of the distant hills to an advantage which those who only see smoke and stacks of chimneys, pure and simple, would scarcely credit. On the right of ed of the road, on the most ele vated p art of Shircoat moor, the Prince is to be shown the ma g nificent opilerp orp h an Crossleyea of n buildingsafuoardestitute which te maintenance orphanage which, judg in g from its extent and the kingdom. i schildren being ande r e of e t educat i on Halifax—an From this the Prince pr oceeds b y the King's-road to the People's-park , the g ift of Sir Francis Crossley splendid s of promisesita kind to in b e one of the most splendid did design, to the town of Halifax—a park which, though only 12 acres in extent, Sihas beenph Paxton, and enriched laid out in the most with fountains and statues.

Round this vast quadrangle, and enclosing it on all sides, are two-storied buildings of some height looking on to the square, and the windows and balconies of these structures give to the enclosure (which is as large as Trafalgar -square) the appearance of a square color • seum. In this square, on a vast lofty tier of benche s, are to be assembled the children from the schools of y relig ious to be A nt denominations htheem prettiest eod i t n h e t a h na e Hallelujahmost neighbourhoodeh effectiveer chorus, 4 is andhlle , ha s a portio n Na tional a s ong the the Halifax, to the numb e r o f 17,000.

From the Piece-hall the procession afterwards passes by North-bridge to All Souls Church, on Haley-hill, where Mr. Gilbert Scott has erected a gem of Gothic architecture, the church founded by Col. Ackroyd, and said to be the most beautiful modern structure of the kind in the kingdom. A short stay will be made here to inspect the interior, and then the party return to the Town-hall, which will be formally opened by his Royal Highness, who, after a brief .unch, will hurry off to the station to commence his long journey back to Osborne. The festivities at this town, however, by no means terminate with the departure of the Prince, but, on the contrary, will be prolonged in feasts, banquets, fireworks, and illuminations till the end of the week almost. No great work can be accomplished without pain and suffering, and even death. Those who, with you, " would not say a word to damp the energies of missionaries and of those that send them," must expect to hear cases like that of the noble-minded Indian officer who lately fell a victim to gigantic labours during the Indian famine, or that of Lord Canning, and try to place a slight drag on the ima gination. Horror seems to lay hold on you at the bare mention of " Elephant Swamp." I am actually to pass through it to-morrow, and am only sorry that the enormous herds of elephants—we have seen 800 in at once—have become so knowing that we have no chance of getting a steak or a foot.

River Shire, Jan. 26. THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. MONDAY NIGHT. At five minutes past three the Royal train ar rived at the station, the platform being occupied by the Mayor, Mr, John Crossley, the corporation, and a large assemblage of ladies and gentlemen. A bat tery of guns, mounted on the Beacon-hill, and manned by the Heckmondwike Artillery Volunteers fired the Royal salute. The Prince, who was ac companied by Sir C. Wood, General Knollys, and Major Teesdale, was received with the ordinary presentation of arms by the 4th West York Rifles, under the command of Colonel Akroyd, and he at once proceeded, acoompanied by his suite, to the carriages provided by the Mayor and Sir Francis M.P., in which they were rapidly Crossley, driven to Manor-house, the residence of the Mayor. The railway station -yard was densely crowded, but, owing to t he ra p id manner in which the Prince was conducted to his carriage, popular enthusi asm was only partially evoked—in fact, it was not known by the un initiated that the young man plainly dressed in mourning costume was the future King of England until a t he then l a little disappoint ment was expressed that he had not been identified earlier. A litt le before 5 o'clock his Royal High ness, a ccompanied b y his own suite, Sir C. Wo o d, and the May or, p aid a visit to Dean Clough Mills, where the firm of John Crossley and Son carry on the manufacture of carpets and rugs on a very ex tensive scale. Afterwards his Royal Highness was entertained at dinner at Manor-heath. A ver y selec t c ircle were invited to meet him. In the even i n g a serenade, deprived of half its charm owing to the absence of the Princess o f W a l es, was g i ve n in the grounds of the Manor-h ea th b y a picked s choral body of 100 voices selected from the Halifax and Huddersfield sections of d the the Yorkshire Choral Union, which has already h per forming before her Majesty had Bucli hinognhoaumr Palace. Mr. of Burton, organist of the Leeds parish church, was the director on th e occasion. During the ban. quet at the mayor's house several favourite glees and madrigals were performed in one of the corri dors by Mrs. Sunderland, Miss Freeman, Mr. In kersall, and Mr. Hinchliffe. The streets were crowded until a late hour in the evening, spectators being interested in witnessing outline of the T own -h a ll . the illuminations in EMIGRATION FROM LIVERPOOL : LARGE IN CREASE.—The Government emigration returns, which have just been completed for the month of July, giv e the following information :—ln the month of July of the present year, 32 s hi ps " under the act " sailed from the port of Liverpool for the United States.

The Tercentenary Committee, in submitting the subscrip tion list to the nation, most earnestly appeal to the admirers of Shakspeare for their aid and assistance. The Committee rest their claims upon the ground that Stratford is not only the birthplace of Shakspeare, but the centre of attraction to all admirers of the great Poet's works, and that it was his home, the town he loved, and where he lived and died.

President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCH, K.G. Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq. This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week. The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support, to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that daily present themselves.

The Committee of Management have to state that, since the beginning of the year 1860, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution has expended £32,000 on various Lifeboat Estab lishments on the Coasts of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the Society, ;aid other means, since Its formation, is 12,800 ; tor which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, and, £16,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu tion has also expended £67, , '00 on Life-boats, Life-boat Transporting-cart iages, and Boat-houses. The Committee desire to express their grate ful sense of the generous support which they have received from the British public during the past few years, a support which has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet of 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom. Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient state, and its Crews practised in the management of their boats, whi ‘h can only be effected by a large and permanent annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so great and truly national a work.

Dr. Livingstone has addressed the following letter to the editor of the Medical Times and Circular:—" Sir,—ln a leading article in your journal of July 5, 1862, headed English Sacrifices in Central Africa,' after remarking on the general sickness that prevailed at the mission station Mago mere, yen very naturally ask, ' How then can we reconcile these sad facts with the statement that " the mission under the direction of Dr. Livingstone settled down in an admirable station high up the river, where the country is an elevated plateau, where the climate is tolerably salubrious, and where a dense population is immediately available for mis sionary work ?" ' The quotation is from the bishop, and expresses the opinion which I formed, and still hold, as to the general healthiness of the plateau referred to. The spot, taken as a temporary resi dence until extensive acquaintance with the whole region should enable the head of the mission to select a suitable locality for a permanent abode, was 40 or 50 miles distant from the Elephant Marsh,' and at an altitude of between 3,000 and 4,000 feet above it. We shall therefore try to think of the marsh and mission station as distinct as Oxford and London. The plateau is ten or twelve miles broad, and probably 100 in length. We happened to travel along it at the hottest season of the year, and even then found the climate deliciously cool. When previously in the Upper Shire Valley, at an altitude of 1,200 feet above the sea, we were drink ing water at 84 degs., and in one day, mounting to an altitude of between 3,000 and 4,000 feet; we had every few miles a gushing stream, with the water at 65 dege. The air had that bracing effect which the mountain breezes have at home, and we were all struck by observing far more very old people than we had seen anywhere else. Our stay was too short for oar own experience to be worth anything; and the experience of the missionaries amounts only o this, that without ordinary sanitary precautions the health is endangered here as is every where else. " The missionaries were placed in very peculiar circumstances, and such as probably they never an and felt its refresh in g breezes, we met partis of ticipated. As we c limbed u p the plateau togeteher, t Portuguese, with long lines of bound captives in possession. Th ese were soon made free, and the bishop, trusting to the support of those who had sent him, bravely took charge of th em. These re-captives soon amounted to 200 ; but in what fol lows I have only the testimony of the missionaries themselves, for I then left, and pursued the explo ration of Lake Nyassa for some 225 miles. Mago mero was situated on the bend of a small river of exactly the same shape as that into which General M'Clellag, for strategetic reasons,' ran. It was shaded by lofty trees, which the poor bishop ad mired exceedingly, and resolved to preserve. The efforts of theimissionaries failed to prevent these 200 people from depositing their droppings all over a space of less than one hundred yards by fifty, and it was then fitly described as a ' pest hole.' For some months the people adjacent and around them brought abundance of provisions for sale, and no one imagined that these were all their sur plus stores ; but after the expenditure of the surplus came famine. The missionaries nobly shared their own i s n a t n h d at dy fo s u en l provisions with the poor wretches wham they had that eer adopted, and were reduced to the same hard and scanty l fare. About fifty of the natives perished by ut d e e r n y, , t h and tom whites e presentedthe wonder the figure you have drawn, but that they were not all cut off together. Now , don't blame them ; they felt the necessity of removing is sorry not out of the pest hole, but the grass had all been burned off, and new huts could not be built; slave-hun ting, at the instigation of the Portugues e o f Tet te, was going on all around them ; they were in new and untried circum stances ; had to retire to the lowlands ; but still all think that the plateau is the healthiest abode, and will return as soon as possible. " The bishop, whose untim ely fate every one who knew him must deeply deplore, never spared him self, and was foremost in depriving of the comforts himself e c omforts which you rightly conclude areindispen sable to Europeans, in order to save his orphan children. He and Burrup were the strongest of the party, and were proportionately disregardful of their health. Exposed for more previously to hard, fast marches, worse fare, and drenching showers, he set out from M ill agomer o , with diarrhoea, on his last fatal trip, and began by walking through the stream, remarking that he would soon be wet at any rate. After two days walking in a plight which you may imagine, he reached the Shire, embarked in a miserable small canoe, and after dropping down the stream one day was upset, lost clothes and medicines, and went on, of course, still wet—coffee, tea, and sugar all gone ; it is scarcely possible to conceive a more miserable STAMPED ....sd. (From the Times' Correspondent.) NEW YORK, JULY 2 All fears of an immediate renewal of the riots o last week are at an end. Business has resumed its usual aspect; the streets are free for traffic from one end of the city to the other; the labourers have re turned to their work, and the negroes have again ventured to show themselves in their ordinary haunts and to follow their ordinary business. The order has gone forth from Washington that the draught will be rigidly enforc ed ; but ver y few per sons are to be found who believe in the menace, or think it anything more than "buncombe," or an assertion of the dignity and supremacy of the Go vernment. As it is well known at Washington that the great majority of the labouring population of New York are of Irish birth and descent, and that they, far more than the Germans and native born Americans, are opposed to the conscription, Mr. Lincoln (or perhaps it was Mr. Seward) bethought himself of the old and never -failing dodge of Ame rican politicians whenever they find themselves in a difficulty with their own people, and instructed his supporters in the press to notify that the enforce ment of the draught was not necessary for the con quest of the South, but for the probable contingency of a war with reat Britain. It was thought that if anything could reconcile the Irish to compulsory service in the Federal army it would be the prospect of a war with the " Sassenach,” and that for this object, if for no other, the hundred and thirty thousand strong men of the Finnian or Feenian brotherhood would cheerfully gird their loins for battle, and exert all their influence with their com patriots to induce them to do likewise. So ready was the Federal Government for a new war, with all its consequences, that it was dec lared to be its unalterable determinati on to make the legal deci sion of the British Courts in the case of the Alex andra a pretext for the immediate declaration of hostilities. It cannot be said, however, that this well-worn expedient answered its purpose. For once the Irish were hard of belief, and could not see the wisdom of rushing needlessly into a new war when the old one was so difficult to bring to an hon ourable conclusion. If the Federal Government required volunteers for such a war, it is highly pro bable that large numbers of the Americo-Hibernians would respond with enthusiasm ; but not even for a war with Great Britain—which they do not be lieve to be imminent, or even likely, whatever the organs of the Government may be instructed to allege to the contrary—will they submit to the draught. They have been taught that it is illegal. They know it to be disagreeable, and they will resist again, as they resisted before, should the Government attempt to enforce it. And as nearly the whole of the Demo cratic party in this State, with Governor Seymour at ite head, share their views, and are determined to test the validity of the act in the courts of New York, and ultimately, if necessary, to appeal to the Supreme Court of Judicature at Washington, the chances are that there will be no more rioting, and that the Federal Government will be baulked, at least for awhile, of its favourite design of over riding the State authority and establishing martial law in New York. I have reason to know, how ever, that the quietude of the people is more as sumed than real, that the opposition to the draught is unabated, and that, should the Government, in spite of the sharp notice it has received of its un popularity, persist in the endeavour to enforce it, the action of the multitude will be more formidable than before, and will severely test the Federal power in this city. The people will not interfere with the mechanical process of the draught. The wheels of Fortune will be allowed to turn freely in the places appointed for the purpose; the blind-folded dippers into the urn will draw out the names without in terruption, and the lists of the conscripts will ap pear in the newspapers as if everything was alike fair and acceptable to the people. The opposition will break out at a later stage of the proceedings, at the expiry of the days of grace, when the con script who does not present himself for military duty is to be considered a deserter. All over New York and in the adjoining cities of Brooklyn and Jersey, as well as in remoter and less known suburbs of this great capital, the working men have enrolled themselves into clubs and secret societies, the mem bers of which severally and collectively pledge themselves not to allow any one of their number to be abducted from his home of business, or forcibly taken away for military service, without offering armed resistance. They will stand upon t he de fensive. They will permit no b urning down of houses, no pillage, no indiscriminate cud . break of riot or hostility, bat will simply defer d themselves in their homes and call their neighbours to the rescue, - as they would in the case of attack upon their lives and property by a gang of burglars and assassins. This is understood to be the programme, and, if rigidly carried out, it is one that cannot tail to produce a very serious state of sffairs. So sensible are the commercial and moneyed classes of the danger that every possible effort will be made, by offers of bounty money, to get together a new army of 40,000 or 50,000 men, or whatever num ber the Government may consider to be the full quota of this State, towards the 300,000 that are considered necessary to carry on the war, in addi tion to the armies already in the field. The Courts of Aldermen and Common Council have already voted 2,500,000 dols. for the purpose, to be raised by taxation on city property—a measure of very doubt ful legality, but the mere proposal of which shows the great unpopularity of the draught, and the ex treme lengths to which many people are willing to go in their efforts to render it unnecessary. But amid all this perplexity and peril the doctri naires and philosophers, who wish to make Federal America a nation instead of a congeries of States, and to cement the discordant materials by the esta blishment of a stringent military despotism, con tinue to urge upon the President the duty of quenching attempted insurrection in seas of blood, if it cannot be quenched at a cheaper rate ; to en force the conscription coute que coute ; to take ad vantage of the first outbreak to supersede Governor Seymour or hurry him off to Fort Lafayette, and to invest General Butler with supreme dictatorial power over the three States of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. It is understood that Mr. Seward is the sole great obstacle in the way of this dangerous experiment ; that Messrs. Chase, Stanton, Halleck, and Welles are in its t'avour ; and that the President hesitates to take ea serious a step in opposition to the solemn Warning of the most conservative as well as taint sagacious member of his Cabinet. The people who recommend this des perate strategy have lost all hope, however promis ing the present appearances of victory may be, of the final subjugation of the South; and look to the utter abrogation and annulment of State rights in the North, to be effected at all hazards, as the only possible means by which the North can be kept together. Their model Government is not that for which their Anglo-Saxon progenitors shed their blood, or which offers itself for example to the world in the mild constitutional monarchy of Great Britain, but the autocratic and military despotism of France. They admit, when closely pressed, that the Republicanism of 'Washing ton and Jefferson is a proved failure, and that the future Republic of the North must be one, in divisible and homogeneous, with a strong and irre sistible central Government in the hands of the first man of indomitable will and high military genius who shall succeed in grasping the reins of power. They shut their eyes to the consequences. They do not value liberty a straw. They are ripe for despot ism. They court it, they pray for it, and all present indications seem to prefigure that they will inevit ably attain it—though not by so short a process as they fondly imagine, and not perhaps until these degenerate Americans shall have offered for the wonder and instruction of all time a more unhappy spectacle than has ever yet been offered by a civi lised nation. A little incident in the history of the late cruel onslaught upon the coloured people which has fallen within my personal notice deserves to be recorded. A negro in one of the pleasant transmarine suburbs of this city, of which it is not necessary to mention the name, became or the second day of the riots ob • noxious to a crowd of Irish and other " rowdies' bent not only on resistance to the draught, but on any mischief that might offer itself to their idle hands. The negro kept an ice cream saloon and restaurant, was an excellent cook and waiter, and employed several coloured people in his business, was very useful to the richer inhabitants whenever they had dinner or evening parties which required extra assistance, was a prosperous tradesman, as he de served to be, and was, moreover, very much re spected by all who knew or had occasion to employ him. Envious of his prosperity, and indignant that a" nigger" should be better provided with worldly goods than themselves, a crowd of men and boys of the labouring class, reinforced by a mob of thieves and plunderers, gathered round his house towards nightfall, threatening to burn it down and hang the whole of the occupants. The shutters and doors were hastily closed and secured, and it seemed for a few moments as if it would fare ill with the unhappy family, consisting of husband, wife, and two chil dren, besides the black servants and waiters. For tunately a mechanic of a superior grade, and himself an employer of labour, was on the spot,, and had courage enough to attempt tostem the tide of popu lar passion and influence enough to be successful. He addressed the crowd in a few energetic sentences, imploring them to go peaceably home and reserve their displeasure for the officers of the draught. He finally prevailed on them to desist from their pur pose of arson, and to content themselves with break ing the black man's windows. But during the greater part of the night a few of the rioters lin gered around the place, determined to hang the negro if he ventured abroad. Ultimately, however, either from the exhaustion of their patience, or the rumoured arrival of the military and police, they withdrew, but not before they had threatened him with instant death if he dared to open his shop on the morrow. As soon as all was quiet the negro and his family took the opportunity to escape. Clamber ing over the wall at the rear of their premises, their first intention was to make their way to the open country and encamp in the woods. Remembering, however, that there was one gentleman who had been kinder to them than others, they determined to go to his house and solicit his protection. They went and were hospitably admitted, the gentleman and his family, the females as well as the males, de claring that they would protect the lives of the hapless fugitives at the hazard of their own. Here they have been hiding for seven days, and still remain in close confinement. And who, it will be asked, was this good Samaritan? Was he a friend of Emancipation ? No. Was be a professed humanitarian? No. Was he a Minister of the Gospel ? No. Had he ever, like Messrs. Cheever, Beecher, Phillips, and Greely, proclaimed himself to be the especial friend of the negro race ? No. Had he ever advocated their social and political equality with white men, or made himself con spicuous in any way as their advocate? No. Was he known to be more benevolent and charitable than his neighbours ? No. What, then, was the secret impulse that drew the negroes towards him in their hour of peril ? Nothing but the fact that he was Virginian. He was a man from the South, who had been a slaveowner, and who, like his countrymen. . thoroughly understood the negro eharacters.bK K now edition ing all about him, and that he wa s not an ist, a preacher, or a philosopher , they singnlev,cl,hhiiernb out from all the men of the little world white multitude that was r aging o demand, but it was they moved to be their protector f f o r r om t h e t ihre blood.fu ry o f Ita was a dangerous serviesde tred.

In meantimethe the negroes, all of whom were British subjects, found refuge to the number of 75 on board the French ma the Cardenas, bearing the flag of Admiral ;.°t-war d r who kindly volunteered to give the men shelter until they could be transferred to the more legitimate safeguard of the ship of their own Sovereign. It is calculated that nearly 600 persons were either killed or wounded in the riots. Coroners' inquests have been held upon 76, the great majority of whom were Irish. The number of negroes hanged, beaten to death, or thrown into the viver is estimated at about 20 ; but the bodies of five only have been recovered and accounted for. The negro fugitives who en camped on Long Island have for the most part re turned ; and as many of these unhappy persons have been reduced to destitution by the destruction of their homes and furniture, and the enforced cessa tion of their usual labours, a subscription has been commenced in their behalf, which already amounts to a very considerable sum. Many of the principal banks and insurance companies have contributed largely, and leading members of both political par ties have aided the cause with their names and their money. THE PRINCE OF WALES AT HALIFAX. HALIFAX, August 3. In the midst of the festivity and rejoicing at the near advent of the long expected, long prepared for visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales, the good people of Halifax have been smitten with a disap pointment more irremediable than bad weather—a disappointment which came on the town yesterday afternoon like a heavy misfortune—in the official announcement that the Princess of Wales was not well enough to undertake the journey, and that con sequently the Prince would visit the town alone. It is difficult to describe the effect which this commu nication produced; it was more than a disappoint ment—the depressing influence amounted almost to a gloom. It was true that the Prince was coming, but, without disparaging his Royal Highness's known popularity, it was felt that on this occasion the Prince was only a bridegroom without his bride, and, above all, the bride whom all in and near Halifax for miles around had for months made up their minds to welcome and behold. The official communication which the Mayor, Mr. John Cross ley, received yesterday afternoon simply stated that her Royal Highness was not well enough to travel, that the Prince therefore would visit Halifax and open the fine town-hall alone, and that on to-morrow (Tuesday) he would return from Halifax to Osborne. Our readers will recollect that up to Saturday the programme arranged for the progress of their Royal Highnesses was that, after visiting this picturesque and busy town, they would proceed to the seat of Earl de Grey and Ripon, and remain the guests of the Earl and Countess till Thursday, when they were to journey to Edinburgh, remaining at Holy rood till Saturday morning, when they were again to continue their progress tu Abergeldie Castle, near Balmoral, there to remain for the shooting season in Scotland. As, therefore, the whole of this pro gramme has been abandoned, and the Prince returns to-morrow to Osborne, some uneasiness is felt here lest the indisposition of the Princess should be more severe than the mere wording of the letter of apology expresses. No other ground, however, exists for this feeling beyond that the visit to Earl de Grey and journey to Scotland has been suddenly postponed sine die. Between the announcement, therefore, of the indisposition of the Princess, and the consequent knowledge that her appearance in Halifax on this occasion is not to be hoped, the whole of the in tended festivities are likely to be of the tamest and most routine character. As far as Halifax is con cerned, and the warm, enthusiastic feeling of loyal gladness with which its people looked forward to this event, the partial disappointment is much to be re gretted. Halifax is just now at its heat and busiest, and, apart from the magnificent scenery around the town, which makes its situation second to none other in the kingdom, save Edinburgh, while it is second to no other town at all in the magnificence of the public gifts with which the munificence of its great man ufacturers—Crossleys and Ackroyds— have adorned it,—all these the Prince and Princess were to be shown, and all these the Prince will have to visit, the programme offered to Royalty being, as usual on these occasions, a long and rather fatiguing one. His Royal Highness is not expected to arrive till half past three this afternoon,—too late an hour, according to the time fixed ,for the departure of parcels, to attempt even an outline of his reception here. That it will, however, be one of the most en thusiastic welcomes he has ever got, everything seems to promise. Trains from all parts of the coun try have been arranged to arrive here every five minutes, and, as the performance has kept tolerably well near the promise, the result has been a dense crowded stream of country people into the town since as early as five o'clock this morning. The problem offered for solution to the police and the railway authorities is how to get these people back to-night with as little discomfort and even as little injury as possible, and every hour adds to what will evidently be the greatest difficulty of the task. For tunately all connected with the police arrangements is under the sole control of Mr. Superintendent Walker, who has more experience in these Rua_ progresses than any other man in t he king dozen a o d, who has brought with him from London a oen of his best inspectors and a picked body of 20 m the A division.

T hese are already pretty densely filled ; but not so the miles of raised benches which have been more e xtensively erected here than in any town we ever saw. They rise in all sorts of situations, and some near the town-hall are carried to a height that makes one tremble at the thought of any accident occurring. Since the announcement that the Prin cess was not coming the spirited erectors of these have been pl unge d i n a despondency which is likely to be justified to-morrow. The programme which is offered to the Prince to day i s 2 not ror royalty on these occasions unusually fatiguing, though quite enough for any one who has been dozed and worried by a nearly seven hours' railway journey. On his arrival he will drive at once to Manor-heath, the mayor's residence, which, always a costly and magnificently decorated villa, has for this occasion been in most parts re-embel lished in the most exquisite style. It would be difficult to overpraise the richness and good taste of the splendid suite of rooms which were here pre pared for the Princess, and which throw into the shade even those fairylike structures of lace and gold _ -~ F last Lblie. been road,. apiod :s the LPPe that only gs a Ea — self veeks scon- • the Mrs. Se with ,t in 3 110 'keg t Of 330 42s 42s 380 .11d- The the 10.. 4. 4. 2. nd he a tie of 'B,
