The petition for the winding up of the Panama, New Zealand, and Australian Royal Mail Company, presented to the Court of Chancery on Thursday last, by a firm of wine merchants, creditors, is to be beard on the first petition day in November, before Vice- Chancellor Mains, Answers were lodged yesterday, at Edinburgh, for the Caledonian Railway Company, to the interdict issued at the instance of Mr. Alexander Glen. The. Company maintain that it is incompetent, on v arious ground s, for the complainer to interfere. There were no gold operations at the Bank yester day. The loan Which Portugal has negotiation in Paris with the Soci6te Generale will not come before the Public. It was a merely temporary advance upon Bta elc, and it irsaid that a similar operation was effected at the same time in London. The increase in the Metropolitan traffic this week is 1 ,215, the mileage having been increased from 4 to miles. The Glasgow and South Western Railway r eceipts last week show an increase of £1,482.

A War Department order received at Chatham notifies that on the recommendation of the Ordnance Select Committee the 7-inch 7-ton rifled muzzle loading guns will in future be tapped with a hole, similar to the friction tube pin -hole in other guns, which will be fitted with a preserving screw, the object being that the head of the screw may indi cate the position of the vent by the touch during. siege operations by night. It has also been deter mined that when wrought-iron, smooth-bore, muzzle-loading 100-pounders, of Gk tons, are mounted on iron carriages they are to be fitted with pivot pieces, &c., for elevating. A drawing to guide this alteration has been sealed. The order also an nounces that a pattern wrought-iron, rifled, muzzle • loading 7-inch Gi-ton gun, 10ft. Gin., has been sealed as a specimen of guns of this nature and con struction to govern future manufacture. The weight of the sealed pattern gun is 6 ton 7 cwt. 19 qrs. 201 b. ; preponderance, 3 cwt. 3 qrs. ; length of gun (mounted), 12ft. Gin. ; bore, 111iu. ; rifling, 95.5 in .; calibre, 7in., with " A " tube, tough steel. A notification has been received at Chatham gar rison from the Horse Guards announcing that the following campaigns will form the subjects of exa mination in military history and geography at the examination for admission to the Staff College, to be held in July, 1869 :-1. Napoleon's campaign of 1805 in Germany, with the battle of Austerlitz in detail. 2. Wellington's campaign of 1812 in the Peninsula, with the battle of Salamanca in detail. Candidates will be expected to have an accurate knowledge of the geography of the seat of war in both campaigns, with reference more especially to military operations, and to make a rough sketch of any portion of it that may be required. The half-yearly inspection of the Ist Depot Bat talion, under the command of Col. J. W. Smith, C. 8., was resumed and brought to a close yester day by Major-Gen. F. Murray, commanding the division at Chatham. After inspecting the various regimental depots which comprise the battalion, Gen. Murray visited the quarters occupied by the married troops, the Soldiers' Institute, and the other military establishments, and concluded by inspecting the books, accounts, and other official records relating to each depot and battalion. At the termination of his official inspection General Murray expressed himself highly satisfied with the state of the battalion and the efficiency of the officers and men. Yesterday morning Col. I'. L. J. Gallwey, the newly-appointed director of the Royal Engineer establishment, made his first official inspection of the officers and men of the Royal Engineers, at head-quarters, Chatham. The whole of the com panies, including the men of the depot companies, were formed on the parade-ground at Brompto❑ Barracks at 7 a.m., in review order, under the com mand of Lieut.-Col. Fitzroy M. li. Somerset, and received Col. Gallwey, on his appearance in the centre of the square, with a general salute. Col. Gallwey then made an inspection of the battalion in tine, after which the officers and men marched past in slow and quick time, and executed a few other manceuTres, which brought the inspection to a close. Lieutenant-Gen. Sir G. Buller, K.C.8., Lieuten ant-Governor of Portsmouth, and commanding-in chief the south-west military district, yesterday made his autumnal inspection, on Southsea-coms mon, of the 35th (Royal Sussex) Infantry, under the command of Colonel John M. N. Walter, C.B. After marching past the regiment was put through the usual exercises by individual officers, and sub sequentlyperformed a series of battalion movements, an advance in line and general salute closing the inspection under arms. The knowledge of their drill by officers and men appeared to be very good, but " slow marching" in these days of advanced military tactics is, to put it in the mildest form, an absurdity. At an inspection of the 6th Brigade of Royal Artillery by Col. E. Wodehouse, C. 8., the officer commanding the Royal Artillery stationed in the south-west district, silver medals for long service and good conduct were presented to Sergeant Greer and Gunner Miller. Col. Wodehouse, in handing the medals to the men, remarked that he always felt a greater pleasure in having to present on behalf of her Majesty, to men under his command medals for long service and good conduct than even for service in the field, for the reason that in the one case it took a man almost a lifetime of service to obtain such a distinction, and while he was sur rounded by all the temptations which beset a sol dier; whereas in the other instance the distinction could be won in a few hours. The steam store and troop-ship England, 3,307 tons, Commander W. H. Thompson, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from Suez, June 27 ; Aden, July 12 ; Mauritius, Aug. 12 ; Simon's Bay, Aug. 29 ; St. Helena, Sept. 8 ; St. Vincent, Sept. 22, with Government stores and the undermen tioned passengers :—From Aden, Lieutenant Snell, Mr. M'lntyre (engineer), A. Newman, William Death, John Williams, and J. M'Queen, from her Majesty's ships Octavia and Star. From Mauritius —Col. Johnston, 32d Regiment; Dr. Roberts, Royal Artillery ; Mrs. Pike, Mrs. Brockman, child, and two servants ; the Rev. D. Matthews and wife, and Miss Finnis. From Simon's Bay—Mr. Stokes, Mr. Leishiug and child, and two men from her Majesty's ship Peterel. From St. Helena—Two men from her Majesty's ship Rattlesnake and 2 naval invalids. Her Majesty's ships Octavia, Star, Nymph, and Spiteful were at anchor at Aden when the England left, with the Peterel and Seringapatam in Simon's Bay and the Rattlesnake at St. Helena. The following vessels were spoken by the Eng land on the voyage home :—September 2, British bark Anglia, in lat. 26 14 S., long. 5 13 E., British bark Ocean Belle, and the British schooner Ho Hoang, moderate S.E., trade winds prevailing; Sept. 9, the British ship Alarm, of Belfast, in lat. 13 S., long. 7 06 West, from Penang for Queens town, Ireland ; Sept. 20, British Royal Mail steam ship Oneida, from Southampton for Pernambuco, at St. Vincent's, and the Ethiopian screw steamer, from Glasgow for India; September 27, British ship Douglas Castle, in lat. 2919 N., long. 18 51 W. ; October 4, British ship Robinson Crusoe, in lat. 48' 17 N., long. 705 W. The England will go into Portsmouth harbour this morning to disembark her passengers and stores. The further trial will be made on Friday next, at Shoeburyness, of the Moncrieff gun-carriage, on the protected barbette system-, to ascertain its capabili ties of firing at moving objects. DESTRUCTION OF A TOWN BY FIRE.—The town of Stanislau, near Lemberg, in Galicia, has been almost destroyed by fire. The town hall, prison, seve ral churches, and some hundreds of houses have been burnt down. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 7, 1838. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.; BOW-STREET. George Henry Davidson, a corporal in the Cold stream Guards, was charged with stealing a watch, the property of Elizabeth Harvey. The prosecutrix said she became acquainted with the prisoner, and as he told her he had frequently in the course of his duty to get up in the night to ascertain the time, she said she would lend him her watch. She did so, but when she wished for it to be returned she found the prisoner had pawned it, as he said she had given it to him. She did no such thing. The Corporal said the girl gave him the watch as a present, and he fully believed that he had a right to do what he liked with it. He had no notion of stealing the watch, as some of his com rades heard and saw the girl give it him. The iro.secutrix denied having given the watch away, she only lent it. The magistrate thought there was no proof of stealing, but he should fine the prisoner 458., viz., 20s. for illegally pawning, and 255. the value of the watch. He would give him a week to pty the money. The corporal said be would do so, and was dis charged. MARLBOROUGH STREET. BITING A MAN'S FINGER NEARLY OFF.—Thomas Clark, living in Denmark-place, Soho, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt on a warrant, by Jeffrey, one of the warrant officers, charged with the fol lowing savage assault : Henry Monk, of Denmark-place, Soho, who had his hand in a sling, said that on Monday night he was at a harmonic meeting at the Royal George, Crown-street, Soho, and on going down stairs he put his hand over a partition to reach a glass of ale, when his hand was seized by some one at the other side of the partition, and directly after he felt it being bitten severely. He called out that his finger was being bit off, and some one laid hold of him and pulled him away, so as to get his finger out of the mouth of the person who was biting him, and who, he afterwards found, was the prisoner. He became very faint from pain, and went to the hos pital and had his finger attended to, and he was told to keep his hand in a sling, to be very careful with it, and to attend the hospital again. The barman at the public-house proved seeing the prisoner seize the prosecutor's finger and bite it. Luke Jeffrey, the warrant officer, said that on taking the prisoner into custody, he said that he had bitten tha prosecutor's finger, but that he had done it while excited, and that he had seat an apology. _ 'The prisoner entered into a long statement, which showed that he had assaulted the prosecutor in revenge for an alleged injury eight years ago, the prosecutor on the night in question pointing his finger derisively at him. The prosecutor denied having given the prisoner any provocation. _ _ . 11 , 1;. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner was a malicious cowardly fellow, and committed him, for 21 days with hard labour. BEGGING THROUGH BETTING.—Henry Mitchell, a well-dressed young man, wearing a cameo pin and ring, and who described himself as a stationer, of Swan-street, Borough, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with begging. Police-constable Palmer, 54 C R, said that last night while in Regent-street a gentleman drew his attention to the prisoner, who was stopping every gentleman he came near and begging. He went to the Quadrant and saw the prisoner take hold of a gentleman, and saw the gentleman give the prisoner half a crown,a two shilling piece, and some coppers, and he then took him into custody. On taking the prisoner to the station he said that he was very hard up, that he had been betting and spent all his money on horse racing. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for seven days with hard labour. THAMES. IMPORTANT DECISION.—This morning Mr. Ben son gave his decision, after a month's adjourn ment of the following case, and which will no doubt be read with much interest by licensed victuallers and beersellers. John Anderson, the landlord of the Duke's Heal bmrhouse, in Dake-street, St. George-in-the-East, was charged with having his house open for the sale of b 2er and ale before the hour of one o'clock in the afternoon on Saucily, the 33th of August last. Mr. Stoddart, silicitor, of ArbDur-street, Elst Stepney, defended Mr. Anderson. The information against the defendant was laid by Inspector Gee, of the K division. Police-sergeant Smith, No. 47 IC, stated that at 20 minutes past 10 o'clock on the morning of Sun day, the 30th August, he was watching the defen - dant's house, in company with a police-constable and saw four men and two women come out of the beerhouse. They walked a short distance, and then one of the men turnel back and gave something t 3 the defendant, who was at his own door. lie did not know what it was. A minute and a half after wards he went into the defendant's house. There were no persons there except Mr. Anderson and his family, nor any indications whatever of people, being supplied with bee: or ale. Thera were no slops on the counter--a --a wooden one. The counter was dry. lie searched the bed-room, cellar, and yard and could find no one there. qucross-eximinat'on by Mr. Stoddart the witness said that he was sure the four men au l two women came out of the defendant's house. They did not come out of the house of Mr. Wallace next door. Ile saw no signs of drinking in the defendant's house. Mr. Stoddart said the people did not come out of his client's house on the Sunday morning in question, but from the premises of Mr. Wallace, a stove and range maker, upon whom several cus. tomers and friends called to give orders and upon visits. The police-sergeant hai made a mistake. The defendant denied having his house open at all for the sale of beer on the Sunday in question until one o'clock in the afternoon. But even supposing the six persons did come out of the defendant's house, it was not such an opening as was contem plated by the Act of Parliament. A minute and a half afterwards—and he quoted the police officer's own word E—he went into the house and found no visitors or any signs of a customer, or of any drink having been previously supplied that morning to any one. It the people did coins out of the Duke's Head, they might have been there for religious ex ercises. (A. laugh.) Mr. Bcnion—Not very likely in a beer-house. Mr. Stoddart—Or for many other purposes. I confidently rely upon the acquittal of my client. People cannot be convicted on mere suspicion in this country. _ _ _ Inspector Gee said the defendant had been con victed of Sunday trading during the prohibited hours three times, and the fines levied were 20s. for the first, 40s. fur the second, and 60s. for the third offence. Mr. Stoddart that statement was made to pre judice the defendant. Mr. Benson said it would not, and could not, prejudice the defendant as regards the law of the case, but in the event of a conviction he should ask about the general character of the defendant's house, and whether there had been any former con viction. He had carefully considered this question in the course of the last month, and had carefully read the Act of Parliament bearing on the case. Ile was of opinion the four men and two women did come out of the defendant's house at twenty minutes past ten, and that the sergeant was correct in his evidence. That was all the case against the defendant. He agreed with the interpretation of the law as laid down by Mr. Stoddart. The police had not proved any Sunday trading during the prohibited hours against the defendant, or that ally person had been supplied with beer. The mere fact of six persons leaving the house was no proof that the law had been violated, or that a drop of beer had been supplied to any one. The " open ing" of the house was not such an opening as was contemplated by the Act of Parliament, and the 8111111110/14 Alt* J dismissed. THE POPE'S IN TO PROTESTANTS. The following is the full text of the Apostolic Letter addressed by the Pope to all Protestant and non -Catholic bcdies : " Pius, Sovereign Pontiff (ninth of the name) to all Protestants and non-Catholics— " You must already all know that we who, de spite our unworthiness, have been raised to the Throne of Peter, and therefore have been advanced to the supreme government of the whole Catholic Church, and to its administration, which has been entrusted to us in Divine fashion by Christ himself our Lord, have judged it fit to summon before us all our venerable brethren, the bishops of all the world, and to convene them in an Ecumenical Council, which is to be celebrated next year, in such a manner that with those same venerable bre thren who have been summoned to take a part in this the subject of our rkilicitude, we may be able to adopt all Vie most opportune and necessary resolu tiJns to dis.::il•ate the shadows of so large a number of pestilential errors which duly are extending their power and license to the gre it prejudice of soils, and daily more and more to eAtablish an I strengthen Among the Christian pe?ples co:nrnitted t> our watchful care the reignoftha true faith, of justice, and of the true peace of God. Relying, then, with a firm confidence upon the close and affectionate bond of union which unites those our sane vener able brothers to our person and to the Apostolic See, and who have never ceased at any period of our pontificate to give to us and to the Apostolic See the most striking evidences of faith,of love,and of respect, we truly hope that as it has been in times past with other general councils, so it may be in the present, and that this Ecumenical Council convoked by us may bring forth, with the help of the Divine grace, the most rich and most fertile fruits to the great glory of God and the eternal welfare of man. " Therefore, in that hope, and instigated and encouraged by the charity of our Lord Jesus Christ, who laid down his life for the salvation of the world, we cannot forbear on the occasion of the meeting of the next council addressing our apostolic and paternal word to all those who, while recognising that same Jesus Christ as our Saviour, and rejoicing in the name of Christians, yet still do not profess the veritable faith of Christ, or follow the communion of the Catholic Church. Aud, if we do so, it is, be fore all, to warn, exhort, and supplicate them with all our zeal and all our charity to consider, and seriously examine, if they in truth follow the path prescribed by our Lord Jesus Christ, and which leads to eternal happiness. In fact, no one can deny or doubt that Jesus Christ himself, in order that all future human generations shculd enjoy the fruit of His redemp tion, built; up here below his Church in the person of Peter ; that is to say,'the Church, one, holy, Catholic, and apostolic, and thaQie granted to him all the necessary power in order that the faith should be preserved intact and entire, and that the same faith should be transmitted to all peoples, to all races, and to all nations, in such a manner that all men should be able to be united in his mystical body in baptism, and always to preserve in them selves until the entire development of that new life of grace, without which no one can ever merit or ob tain life eternal; so that the same Church which con stitutes the mystical body shall remain until the end of time firm and indestructible in its own constitution, developed in vigour, and furnishing to its children all that is necessary for life eternal. " Now, whoever wishes well to consider and ex amine with attention the different religious societies divided among themselves and separated from the Catholic Church, which since the time of the Lord Jesus Christ and His apostles has always uninter ruptedly exercised, and still exercises by means of its legitimate pastors, the power entrusted to her by our Lord Himself— whoever, we say, shall thus examine will easily convince himself that not one of those religious societies, nor all the religious so cieties together, constitutes, or in any way can be considered as the one and only Catholic Church which our Lord Jesus Christ founded, constituted, and do sired should exist; that they cannot in any way be re garded as a member or a part of that same Church, be cause theyare visibly separated from all Catholic unity. As, in fact, those societies are deprived of that living authority established by Gad, who pointed out to mankind before all things the matter of faith and the rule of morality, who directed and presided over them in all things affecting their eternal wel fare ; theref ire, those societies themselves con stantly varied in their doctrine, and this mobility, this instability is unceasing. " Every one can easily comprehend that this state of things is altogether opposed to the Church esta blished by Christ our Lord—a Church in which the truth must always rest unaltered without being the subject of any change, as a charge entrusted to that same Church in order that she may preserve it in all its integrity, a charge for the care of which the presence of the holy Ghost and its aid has been granted for ever to this Church. "No one can ignore the fact that these diffe rences of doctrine and opinion give rise to the social schisms, and therefrom spring those innu merable sects and communions which are daily in creasing to the detriment of Christian and civil society. it Whoever, in fact, recognises religion as the foundation of human society cannot refuse to ad mit and avow the influence exercised over civilised society by those divisions and disagreements of principles of that nature, and of religious societies struggling one with the other ; and also with what power the denial of authority established by God to regulate the convictions of the human intelligence, and to direct the actions of men, both in their social and private life, has excited, has developed, and has fomented those most unfortunate troubles, those events, and those disturbances, which agitate and affect almost all nations in a most deplorable manner. " Therefore, in order that all those who are not instilled with the principles of the unity and truth of the Catholic Church should seize the occasion offered to them by the Council, in which the Catho lic Church to which their ancestors belonged shows a proof of its complete unity, of its vigour, and of its inextinguishable vitality—that they should obey the necessities of their hearts, that they should strive to tear themselves away from that state in which they cannot be assured of their salvation. " That they should address without ceasing the most fervent prayers to God that He should dissi pate the cloud of error, and that He should briug them back int) the bosom of the Church of our Holy Mother, where their ancestors received the salutary nourishment of life, and alone preserves in its integrity the doctrine of JosusChrist,haudiug it down and dispensing the mysteries of celestial grace. " We, therefore, who ought most zealously to fulfil all the duties of a good pastor, in accordance with the charge of our apostolic ministry entrusted to us by Christ our Lord himself, and who ought to embrace all men in the world in our paternal charity, address this letter to all Christians sepa rated from us, a letter in which we exhort and sup plicate them to hasten to return to the fold of Christ. " It is because we heartily desire their salvation inJesusChrist,and fear one day to have to render an account of their soul to that same Jesus Christ, our Judge, if we do not point out to them and open to them, as much as in us, the way which they must follow if they would gain their salvation. " Also, in all our prayers and supplications, and while performing acts of grace, we never cease humbly to ask for them, both by night and day, the celestial light and the abundance of grace from the Eternal Pastor of Souls; and whereas, despite our unworthiness, we fulfil upon earth the functions of the Vicar of Christ, we await with open arms the return of those wandering sons to the Catholic Church, in order that we may be able to receive them with all affection into the dwelling of the Celestial Father, and make them participators in his everlasting treasures. " It is that much-wished-for return to the truth and communion of the Catholic Church, on which depends not only the salvation of each one in par ticular but of the whole Christian society ; and the world will never enjoy true peace until it forms one flock under one pastor.

The All England Eleven arrived in New York on Sunday,- the 13th September, and it was an nounced that they would contend with a picked "Twenty-two" of the St. George's and New York Clubs on the following Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, on the St. G e o rge ' s Cl u b G roun d, H u d son City. The bowling on the part of New York was remarkably good, and had the fielding been equally efficient, it is scarcely probable that the score of the All England Eleven would have mounted up to the total of 175 runs for their first innings. Consi dering that in England during the last few years the bowling has been completely " collared?' by the batting, it is remarkable that out of eleven of the best English players no less than seven should have been bowled out. The batting of the Twenty-two was considerably below the average, inasmuch as within the short space of 3 hours the whole of them were disposed of for the small amount of 61 runs, Messrs. Winslow, Gibbes, Lle, and Aspired heal ing the score. Norley, the St. Ge irge's bawler, was unfortunately run out after scoring three, and several other players, in whom considerable reliance was placed, failed to score at all. The bowling and fielding on the part of the Eleven was, of course, adu:irable, and elicited frequent au I well-merited applause from the spectators ; one catch in parti cular, made by Humphrey whilst running at full speed, literally, in theatrical phraseology, " brought down the house." The Twenty-two having to fol low their innings, sent in Messrs. Cross and Lanny to the bowling of Lillywhite and Tarrant, their score, at half-past five, when the stumps were drawn, being 10 runs for the loss of two wickets. ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN.

On the side of the New York Twenty-two the batting of Mr. Rogerson was excellent, as he bad succeeded in scoring 22 runs before being caught out. SCORE. All-England Eleven—First Innings, 175. Twenty-two of New York—First Innings, 61 ; Second Innings, 8S ; total, 149. The following is from the Montreal Telegraph of the 2d Sept. :—" It is finally settled that the All- England Eleven is to play here from the 22d to the 26th of this month, both days inclusive. It is expected that two matches will come off--one of the All-England Eleven versus twenty-two of Canada, and the other match of the same. We believe the following is the Canadian team :—Cap tain 'Wallace, 60th Rifles ; Mr. C. Rose, Mr. Stephenson, Mr. Tetu, Mr. Brotherhood, Montreal; Captain Elmhurst, 531 Regiment ; Mr. Bonny, 53d Regiment ; Mr. Brusnel, 53d Regiment, Toronto ; Mr. Kirkhoffer, Port Hope ; Mr. Townsend, 16th Regiment; Mr. Heneage, R.E. ; Mr. F. C. Dra per, Kingston ; Mr. Dawes, R.A. ; Mr. Walker, R.A. ; Mr. Boycotte, 29th Regiment; Mr. Howley, Canadian Rifles.; Mr. French, 69th Regiment ; Mr. Murray, 78th Regiment ; Mr. Hope Hamilton ; Mr. Peps, GOth Rifles ; Mr. Davis, 60th Rifl es. This one of the strongest—in fact, the strongest that has ever been brought together in Canada. It has been selected with great care, and ought to make a rattling good match for the E:even. MARICE7S-7771S DAY. CORN. The ganaral tone of the trade is quiet. The prJvineial markats since Moud•ay have been dull, with prieas a shtde weaker. At Mark-lane to-day the attendance was small, and the inquiry for wh3ats very moderate, but there was a fair de r/mud for spring corn. English wheat in scanty supply, and sold in retail at Monctty's prices. Thoro worn good receipts of foreign wheat, and pur chases were made sparingly, bat sales wore not prossal , and rates Aro unaltered. Floating cargo 33 of wheat most only in slow sale, but there b3ing few off the coast, they were tolerably well boll. Due of Marianopele sold at 56s per 4921b5, delivered sound, and one of Danubian at 483 Gd por 4921b5. The dour trade ruled dull, prices rather favouring buyers. Beans and pons in short supply, and tond'ng against buyers. Maize firm on stands, and in good demand for floating. A cargo of DannWan sold at 31s par 4801bs, and ono of Galaty at 353 61 per 4921b5. _ Barley is very firmly held, both floating and on the spot ; in the former position a cargo of Taganrog has been sold at 303 43 1 por 4001bs. Ryo iti firm. A cargo has b:?eza sold for tho Continent at 348 6d. Oats met a good demand, and supplies being light, rates ara firmer. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

IUCE IN AMERICAN POLITICS. There is a curious article in the Springfield Re publican on Race in American politics. The census of 1860 is analysed, when a total free population of 27i millions was given. Of these there were 45 different foreign nationalities, making up 4,136,175 persons of foreign birth. The Irish then predomi nated, constituting 1,611,304, and they will, it is said, vote the " straight ticket" generally, that is the Democratic, though there is even among them a re spectable dissent, most marked where the influence of thee hurch is weakened. An Irishman hates "a nigger" always and everywhere, and this amiable charac teristic is being exhibited in full force at the present time. The Germans then ranked next in numbers, but in the census of 1870 it is calculated that they will not merely equal but exceed the Irish. At that time they were 1,301,136 ; and as a rule they are as Republican as are New Englanders. In the present campaign this element will be powerfully manifested, and will strongly aid the Republican ticket. The English exceeded half a million, and the Canadians a quarter, but it is difficult to predict how they will vote, except where the Canadians are French, IN hen they form Democratic material, though the real Frenchmen, of whom there are 109,870, afford a large proportion of Republicans. A .ticotchman (says our authority), of whom there are as many as of English birth, is a Republican when he is not a politician. When he is, we are sorry to say his instincts are generally not quite elevated enough for the " party of moral ideas." Switzerland gives the United States more citizens than Austria, and their political tendencies depend largely on the sections whence they come ; that is, we presume, whether from Roman Catholic or Protestant Cantons. The 10,000 Italians, the 5,000 Spaniards, the 5,000 Portuguese, the 328 Greeks, might safely be assigned to the Democrats, together with the 3,263 South Ameri cans, the 233 Central Americans, and the 27,466 Mexicans. These will be more than balanced by the Scandinavians, the Swedes giving the Repub licans 18,500, and the Norwegians 45,000. 'The Welch, of whom there were 50,000, a number since largely increased, have been ascertained by actual convass to support almost unanimously Grant and Colfax. The Chines:., not being yet admitted to the franchise, are of no importance in this estimate. The other Asiatics, 1,231, the native Africans, 525, and the Australians, 1,419, will not probably exert a very wide influence in the coming elections, while the 2,618 who were born on the wave 1111 fairly puppon4 W At 0%!

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25f. 2210. per £1 sterlinr. • omparing these rates with the English Mint price of • iis.loid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 240ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. The course of exoliange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' Eight was on the last date about 1,82 per cent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States. It is reported that Mr. Roebuck will arrive in Sheffield on Saturday. His friends admit that as matters stand now he has no chance, but they believe the Sheffield electors are so ductile Mr. Roebuck can wind them round his finger.
