TEE ATTEMPTED MURDER AT NOTTING SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, HILL. The Times says this case has, no doubt, already 1 Hopei are still entertained of the recovery of Mrs. occupied a much larger share of public attention than it Russell, the lady who was so murderously assaulted last Ever deserved, but still we think that there is one feature ! week.

The girl had stated that those who have thought much about the matter , she had no followers, and that she always attended consider that the demerits preponderate, and that church on Sunday evenings. But this turns out not to be the prisoner ought, indeed, to be "given law," as the the case, for not only have letters been found in the girl's phrase goes, if the object of a trial be to furnish sport to possession that prove her to have had followers, but shew, the public and the court—to provide the lawyers with also, that she scarcely ever attended church, although she game worth running down ; but that if its object is to was in the habit, on Sunday evenings, after returning elicit truth, this is most likely to be effected by at least home, of commenting upon the eloquence of the preacher allowing, if not compelling, the prisoner to submit himself and the singing of the choir.

The theory set distinguished from the legal, this fact points irresistibly to up is that the girl did let him into the kitchen ; that the conclusion that Rachel was not innocent. Now, in while he was there she heard her mistress coming down such a conflict as this between law and common sense, it stai r s, and in order to avoid a scolding she secreted her would be, perhaps, too much to expect that a jury should brother in a cupboard under the stairs, where the pots prefer law.

But obviously Russell came to the conclusion that the noise was in the this excuse cannot apply to the judge, in whose hands the next house. After this the girl opened the garden-door, jury are, and whose special duty it is to tell them what as she was in the habit of doing every night, to let the dog the law is.

The girl at first hesitated, and said counsel wisely laid the utmost stress, making all that " No," and then " Yes," and then went and fastened could possibly be made of it—was treated in a most extra- it. This circumstance still supports the theory that ordinary manner. having let her brother in, she thought he could get out In the opinion of the Standard the Rachel case is a unseen if she left the door open. Anyhow there was no simple one, and our contemporary expresses surprise at the alternative but to retire to her bedroom and leave the comments of some of the journals upon the trial.

But the most improperly manipulating the evidence, and palm- remarkable fact is, that the desk from which the two £5 ing off upon the jury an utterly unsound theory notes were abstracted was kept in Mrs. Russell's bed of his own invention. We differ entirely from our room, with a vase of wax flowers standing on it, but Mrs. contemporary's estimate of the character of the two Russell cannot say positively whether the desk was in her women, and are utterly unable to appreciate or acquiesce room when she went to bed, although she was positive that in a proposition which assumes that " the case made out the stand of flowers was there.

And to our minds one of the nearest one from the house, shows that they were thrown worst features of the case is, that the swindler had so with some force from the house. artfully laid her plans that even when the crime was detected she was able for a long while to hold her victim at arm's length by the fear of exposure, and that during the trial every effort was made to blast the character of the lady whose fortune had gone to provide Rachel with a box at the opera, a house at Blackheath, and to find funds for her defence when arraigned for one of the most wicked and impudent frauds that was ever exposed in a court of justice. Entertaining this view, we regard it as something worse than bad taste to attack the presiding judge for noticing important points which counsel had overlooked. Seldom indeed has an important and pro tracted inquiry been closed by a summing up so lucid, so brief, and yet, as to the real issue, so exhaustive, as that in • which Mr. Commissioner Kerr summed up the evidence against Sarah Rachel Leverson, and never was a verdict of guilty followed by a more appropriate sentence than that by which society has been, for five years, relieved of a harpy, skilled in the art of victimising the weakest of her sex, while professing to find them " good and rich hus bands " after making them " beautiful for ever " at a fancy figure, high enough to satisfy avarice and make impudence ashamed. The Post is satisfied that to whatever conclusion the Spanish insurrection is coming, nothing in the shape of a European complication will arise out of the attainment of its object, even supposing that to be the change ,of the reigning dynasty. The Quadruple Treaty was, as Lord Palmerston described it, a compact of constitutiona l powers ; and Queen Isabella, by violating the constitution which it had in view, has forfeited the support which it guaranteed. Foreign intervention in the internal affairs of Spain is therefore out of the question. Like France and Italy, this country may feel called upon to send a fleet into Spanish waters, but action beyond that which would be simply a measure of precaution pre scribed by the interests involved, is certainly not on the cards of any European Government. Hence Spain is mistress of her own destinies, and now, if ever, the Spanish people should awake from their lethargy and choose the part it would become them to play. It may be hard to do this, and their efforts to throw off a treacherous yoke may end like Sinbad's first efforts against the Old Man of the Sea ; but if they are at all capable of appreciating the independence and freedom which England gave them the means and the opportunity of turning to a good account, tyranny and faithlessness, which have excited the indignation and called forth the execrations of the civilised world, will fall like a withered leaf, and, let us hope, manure the soil on which English blood was poured out in vain. The Daily News thinks one of the surest tests of the fitness of the working classes of England for the franchise is their recognition of the merits of men who have done good service in the past. The House of Commons requires new blood. But a House of Commons composed entirely of new men, without parliamentary experience or official knowledge, would neither be itself a governing assembly, nor capable of controlling the executive. So far as any thing political and future can be certain, it is beyond doubt that the year will not pass away without seeing Mr. Gladstone in office at the head of a Liberal Administration, and as the leader of a large parlia mentary majority. If a promise full of hope is not to be broken, if the Liberal party is to avoid fatal discredit, and Mr. Gladstone himself is to have the means of doing what the country expects of him, he must be suitably seconded. It is tolerably certain that many of the veteran "Whig leaders who have hitherto held the chief posts in Liberal Cabinets are ready and anxious to make way for younger men. Their places must be filled. A general and an army are not enough. The army must be officered. Mr. Gladstone needs lieutenants as well as fol lowers. To say nothing of parliamentary giants like Mr. Bright and Mr. Lowe, such men as Mr. Goschen, Mr. Stansfeld, Mr. Childers, Mr. Chichester Fortescue, Mr. Austin Bruce, and others who might be named, must have a place in any Liberal Administra tion which is to be efficiently conducted, and is to secure the confidence of the country. To be in the Government th e y must be in Parliament. The Daily News commends Mr. Austin Bruce to the electors of Merthyr Tydfil. When Sir George Grey's retirement from the Home Office was talked of, as it used to be periodically,. Mr. Bruce was fixed on' by Liberal opinion in the House of Commons as his probable successor. The rumour showed the estimate in which Mr. Bruce is held. No man is more thoroughly respected in the House of Commons, and no man of his parliamentary standing has earned a higher reputation as a conscientious politician and a masterly administrator. Mr. Bruce is not a man who can be spared out of the Home of Commons ; and he would not long have to go becging for a seat. This opposition to him at Merthyr is, however, a mistake. his rejection there would be a scinclal. It would seriously weal:en the resources of the Liberal party and its leader. LAW AND POLICE. A FORTUNE-TELLER.-At Worship-street Police-court, a young woman, 26 years of age, and described as a nuisance to the neighbourhood by reason of her calling, has been charged with having, by means of false pretences, obtained a quantity of wearing apparel from a female domestic servant. The old story was repeated, with little variation. The dupe, having heard of the prisoner's repu tation, obtained an interview, was told to "cut the cards," and to put her faith in charms, with the result of losing several garments and a sum of money. It was stated that the majority of the prisoner's customers consisted of young girls, and she was remanded, in order that other charges might be brought forward. . . INFRINGEMENT OF THE COMPANIES ACT.—The directors of the Bread Machinery Company have been again sum moned at Bow-street for having infringed four provisions of the Companies Act of 1862. Two of the charges were declared to have been proved ; and for having neglected to keep a registered office and a register of the members for forty-four and thirty-one days respectively, a total penalty of £3 155., being at the rate of ls. per day for each of the omissions, was inflicted. _ _ . . THREATENING ' LETTERS.-At the Central Criminal Court, Eli Fermi, who had been convicted at a previous sessions of having written threatening letters to a Greek merchant, named Melas, was brought up for judgment. The sentence had been postponed with a view to ascertain the state of the prisoner's mind, and, as there was no doubt of his sanity, he was ordered to be kept in penal servitude for five years. A FRAUDULENT BANKRUET.-At the same court a man was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment for unlaw fully making away with his property three months before he had been adjudicated a bankrupt, with intent to defraud his creditors. THE NORTH RIDING CHAMBER OF AGRICULTURE AND THE ELECTIONS.—In accordance with a resolution of the Council, the secretary of the North Riding Chamber of Agriculture forwarded printed circulars to the candi dates for seats in the new Parliament for the Yorkshire boroughs and the Riding, requesting their answers to the three following questions :—" 1. Are you disposed to vote for a Foreign Cattle-market Bill well calculated to prevent, as far as possible, the re-introduction of the cattle plague and other contagious 'diseases ? 2. Are you pre pared to support a par:iamentary inquiry as to the un fairness of the exemption from local t: xatien of income arising from personal property? 3. Will you support a bill for county financial boards in which the elective prin ciple and representation of the ratepayers are fairy adopted ?" The resolution already passed by the Chamber is enclosed to each candidate. YOUTHFUL MARRIAGES IN LANCASHIRE. —The Royal Commission on the Law of Marriage has opened out some curious and instructive facts relative to the early age at which persons frequently enter upon wedded life. Strangely enough, such cases are not of most common occurrence in Scotland, where, as is well - known, the consent of guardians to the marriage of minors is not required, and where, in consequence, the facilities for contracting wedlock at a tender age are very great — greater indeed than in any part of the United KingOom. Instances of what may be called immature marriages seem to belong chiefly to England, and the cotton district of Lancashire is the favoured locality where they flourish in the most exuberant abundance, Thus, for example, the census returns of 1361 show that in Bolton 45 husbands and 175 wives were married at the age of 15 and under ! But Bolton does not stand alone in the preccclty of its marriages. Burnlt y comes within 22 of the same number. It can boast of its 51 husbands and 147 wives coupled at the same tender age. But both places are thrown into the shade by Stockport, which, for its matrimonial proclivities, asserts a proud pre-eminence. It has its 59 husbands and 179 wives who are in the same category as the Bolton and Burnley children. INFANTS AND THE FRANCHISE.—By the 3rd Sec tion of the Reform Act 1867, one of the necessary qualifi cations of a claimant to entitle him to be registered as a voter is that he should be of full age. What, then, is " full age ?" From the notes to Mr. Wilkinson's book we _ __ _ take the following:—" Full age is completed on the (21st) anniversary of a person's birth (1 81. Coto. 473) ; and as the law does not notice any fraction of a day (1 Salk. 44 ; 2 lb. 625 ; 1 Ld. ltaym. 84, 280, 480 ; 2 lb. 1395), a person becomes of age the very instant that the hour of twelve o'clock in the The Standard remarks that Mr. Gladstone's followers seem to require a great deal of patting on the back. Once a week at least they are assured that they have only to go in and win. Still the syniptoms of panic are many and evident, and the wild confidence of the early days of the contest is sadly impaired.. The Observer has endeavoured to cheer up its readers by the announcement that Mr. Gladstone was likely to have at "least 400 supporters at his back, or a minimum Liberal majority of 136 in the new Parliament." Probably the Observer does not know any better. He would be a far-seeing man, indeed, who could so accurately predict the result of an election whose conditions avowedly perplex and baffle the judgment of the most experienced electioneerers. As to the tip "of the Observer, it is as valuable as a contribution from 014 lgoro or Ziadkiel, morning of such preceding ' day 'is passed. Where, therefore, the voter's father proved that he was born at nine o'clock on the morning of the 11th, and he tendered his vote on the morning of the 10th, the vote was, after a-gument, allowed (Bishop's Castle, Rogers, 166.)1t will not be necessary that the person claiming to he registered should have been of full age during the whole of the period for which he is required by this section to have occupied, and to have been rated. It will be suffi cient if he has, in fact, complied with the requirements of the section in those respects, and is of age at the time of the revision of the lists (See Powell v. Bradley, 34 L. J. 67, C. P. ; 18 C. 8., N.S., 0 ; 1 H, and P, 1594—Law TiMeis• R.O3IAN AFFAIRS. 1837. And the press at the cathedral to-day could not well have been surpassed. I will say honestly that the devotion of the Neapoli tans does not come up to the standard of per fection one has in one's English mind, but it is necessary, in some measure, to rate people by their own standard. Anyhow it was a most remarkable scene, and entirely a thing of Naples. I have not many minutes left before we start for Castellamare, but I will tell you (From the Correspondent of the Westminster Gazette.) ROME, Sept. 17. There was a rumour a little while ago that the police had come upon the track of one of the most frightful attempts the Revolution has yet made, which was nothing less than to blow up the ilitary wing of the Hospital of San Spirito, as there was at the time a very large number of soldiers laid up there, and it was candidly just what I saw. The cathedral is a very large, lofty church, and the south transept, in which is the altar of , the Saint, is a church in itself, having besides, what may for distinction's sake be termed its High Altar (where the ceremony takes place), two other large and handsome altars in its transepts, and four others, smaller. expected to make a good haul. As it is it has only served once more to show the Roman people what manner of men are their would be liberators. The scheme was so altogether inhuman and beyond all palliation that rcould not bring myself to believe in it, and therefore omitted mention of it till I had further con firmation. This has, however, come to me now, and there can be no object in keeping silence longer. The Pope's visit to the Hospi tal, mentioned in my last, was prompted by the renewed interest their escape from so horrible a fate had given him in his defenders. The tele grams will also have informed you of an im portant seizure of arms in a hut on the borders of the Tiber, and they are arms which prove the most butcherly intentions. There are 600 hatchets, 50 axes, and thirty cases of daggers. The movements of troops to the frontier seem to have afforded a useful warning that the Go vernment is on the alert, and we have conse- We had places promised us and arrived duly to our appointment at the sacristy, (not of the Cathedral, but of this transept-church), by 8 a.m., though the ceremony was not to begin till 9. There were Masses going on in another sacristy, which was as well, for S. Gennaro is a day of obligation here. Our privilege, however, did not bring us all the ease I had hoped. First, we had a great squeeze to get to this sacristy at all, for havinc , forgotten we were to have gone to a private entrance, we made our way through the cathe dral. lam not on the whole sorry, now it is over, as it afforded me an acquaintance with such a collection of physiognomies as could not perhaps be studied on any other occasion. Meantime, however, the inroad of persons, even v w il h eg en ed th a e dm or is d s e i r ons was , given to proceed was enormous, and with 8 1. Z ri , to the High Altar (of the transept always understood) the rush and the crush was some thing appalling, and this only among the scelti, for when a reserved and draped passage, guarded by soldiers, had been prepared, we were allowed to make our way up to the very altar from which the head of the saint, which had previously been standing at the north end, had been removed. (It is the custom in most of the churches here to have a large head of a saint—generally a bust of S. Gennaro him self—at the north end of the chief altar.) Presently it was brought in and put in its usual place, and soon after .the reliquary, con taining the two phials with the blood was brought from behind the altar, accompanied by six or eight priests bearing tapers. It was given into the hands of one of the canons who, with difficulty, found standing room close to the altar, so hardly were we and those around pressed upon from behind. Certainly the closest access for inspection was allowed, and only one ministrant remained with the officia ting priest, and he bore a lighted candle close behind the reliquary, so that the most perfect view of what was going on might be afforded whilst the Canon held it aloft. It is a round frame with a double glass, deep enough to hold two phials, the larger about 3 inches in diameter, with a neck and a seal, the other much smaller, set in silver, with an ornament at the top. The Canon kept turning it close to the light, and one could plainly see that the substance inside was solid, because when he held it topsy turvy, the lower part of the bottle remained empty. Masses were being said at the other altars, none at this ; but some ten or twelve old women, I must say of most unprepossessing appearance, for whom a red curtain was prepared inside the altar rail, were vociferating prayers, rosaries, litanies, ejaculations of their own, making the most deafening din imaginable. I tried to re concile myself to it by remembering that their ways are not as our ways. A young English man near me whispered it was like an army of frogs, and really, though I tried to keep up all my respect for the old things' devo tion, I could not deny the force of the com parison. By 9.20 I noticed a slope in the surface of the contents of one phial, as the reliquary was being turned over, and a minute after people observed,_ above a whisper, that the liquefac tion had commenced. The vociferations to St. Gennaro now became even louder, and people within the privileged enclosure pressed even more. In about five minutes a consider able quantity had become liquid. And then everybody exclaimed so loudly, that it was hardly necessary for the Canon to make the usual movement with his hand, which is the signal for the Te Deum to be struck up by the organ. The sound of the instrument was literally dunned by the 'singing of the people, yet even above this you heard the naal screech ing (I can call it nothing else) of the old women, the "relations" of St. Januarius, with their fervent "ringraziamo la Santissima Pinitei ! Vi ring raziamo San Gennaro ! Gloria Patri, etc," which never ceased after this. Many of them added to the excitement of the scene by bursting into sobs, and altogether one had to pinch oneself to make sure that one was really ass i st i ng a t an actual scene in a nineteenth century church. The liquefaction, as I saw it, never seemed to be entire. I mean there still was a nucleus of solid matter left, which floated in the very evident liquid. The matter in. the smaller phial did not liquefy at all, which I believe the people consider bodes evil, but it is seldom the lique faction is accomplished so soon as to-day — namely, in thirty or thirty-five minutes. After a while we all got near enough to kiss and after we, w ithin flu' sanc tuary,n so admitted, the Canon moved the down to the rail, and after the said "relations" had venerated it, another priest went on hold in git for the general publi c t o come u p and kiss. The ceremony is repeated every day in the octave, and after it the Sacristy and Treasury are opened for the visits of the public. quently heard less of preparations for invasion, though all who hold any rank in the Garibal dian hordes have received notice to be ready for any orders at any moment. The opinion most authoritatively rumoured this week is that we shall have nothing till there is first a,revo lation in Florence, and an overthrow of the Government there would be by a simultaneous rising in other towns. Something certainly seems to be occupying the Democratic world, and calling their attention for the moment off us. Even the Naples Parliamentino, so boasted of a few days ago, is, it seems, not to come off after all. The rumour of Garibaldi's escape, which created so much excitement among the Mediterranean fleets last week, is explained now to have originated in an English vessel having carried him a visitor, who it after wards took on to Malta, and that that visitor was Mazzini. We shall soon know, of course, what it is that is brewing, and there is no doubt it is no relinquishment of their preten sions, but only preparation for a more acharne attack. That the Government is in great alarm lam most credibly informed. Such constant ill-luck follows whateverit attempts that really, in spite'of all its errors and impiety, one cannot help being almost sorry for it. The vigorous move of sending a military governor to put down the increase of crime, which has been advancing with rapid strides since the expul sion of the Pontifical Government, has been marked by a new assassination being perpe trated at Faenza on the person of one Count Cattoli. What a trump card it would be if the Ministry could meet the next Parliament with the announcement that the French protection should be removed from Rome. What a mul titude of evils it would cover and save enter ing into account for ! Constant and urgent negotiations are going on for the purpose with the Emperor, but with the same steady hand, as all along, his troops are still establishing themselves at Civita Vecchia, and it is impos sible that any proximate relinquishment of the position can be contemplated. At the same time there is a strong rumour that he is willing to give up the province of Frosinone to the Piedmontese—if they can take it. The Papal army will be only too glad to have the task of defending it. So earnest is the desire for work, that I believe they would not hesitate to throw themselves into it, even if the whole army of Italy were opposed to them. _ _ I am glad to see you have been working up our people at home to remember their obliga tions to the cause of the Pope. Already your efforts have borne fruit. I hear several Eng lish volunteers have arrived within the last few days, and that others are on their way, among them being represented the name of Petre and other honourable patronymics. The Consistory I announced for the 21st is now put off till the 24th, when it will certainly take place, and intimations are being sent out to-day to members of the S. College and others who have to attend it. The report I gave you some time ago, that the bishops of various schismatical Eastern churches have boon. inyiLea to come to Rome at the time of the Council,is confirmed. I have been shown a copy of the epistle inviting them, from which I will send you some extracts the first moment I have time to translate them, as it is a most interesting document. But at the present moment I am busy preparing to go to Naples, whither every one is already gone ; in fact the streets are quite deserted, and for some little time past there has not been such a thing as a forestiere's carriage to be seen. Only the Pope remains here, as trustful in Providence as ever, inspiring all with confidence ; and some of the Cardinals and the indefatigable labourers in the sections for preparing the acts of the Council. The canonization of Blessed Nicolas de Finch, hermit of Saxeln, one of the patrons of Switzerland, the process for which was com menced two years ago, will, it is expected, be carried through in the course of this winter. Cardinal Reisach has the caseunder his care. I believe, too, Count Armand, who acts for M. de Banneville till he comes in November, remains in town. You will probably have heard further parti culars than myself of a lamentable accident which occurred on Tuesday, on the Mont Cenis Railway, near Lansbourg. Some matches in a goods waggon caught fire by some unex plained cause, and the fire spread with such rapidity that 100,000 francs' worth of damage was the result. NAPLES, Sept. 19: I posted a hasty letter to you before starting from Rome, which I hope reached in due course. As my stay here must be short, I tried to make the most of it by starting on an excursion to Bake early yesterday morning, though tired enough with the journey from Rome, and in spite of the threatening clouds. We had not proceeded far when a most violent thunder storm came on, and as there was no promise of clearing sufficiently to enjoy the scenery, we were forced to turn back and compromise with the vetturino, who, I must say, was very good-humoured over the disappointment. They had a severe thunderstorm here also on the 14th,. but in spite of this, it is better a good deal than in Rome, and mosquitoes, of which one is comparatively free there, arevery trouble some by day as well as by night. Vesuvius is provokingly sluggish. We have a charming look-ont upon it from our hotel on the Sta. Lucia Quay. We shall move to Castellamare, however, to-night, to see if that proves cooler. The King had been expected here yesterday, but has been advised not to trust himself here on St. Gennaro's day, and no other day is yet named for his visit. I was told a story just now by a person whose disgust at the present state of affairs here may perhaps incline him to exaggerate a little the efforts which are being made to destroy the religious feeling of the people, It was an ac count of a piece going on at one of the theatres —a pantomime, in which bishops are brought on with asses' heads, and cardinals with mules' ; a procession of clergy comes in and falls down in adoration before the Chassepot rifle ; and when public disgust has been sufficiently ripened by this scene, a file of monks of gro tesque aspect passes across the stage to receive the hisses and execrations of the excited popu lace. This was but a specimen, however, of the revolting expedients to which, he assures me, the most anti-religious section of the Italian issimi have recourse. All the while, however, there is still a large proportion faithful to their devout practices. The concourse of pilgrims, not only from among the peasantry but of all degrees, in due proportion from all parts of Italy, to celebrate our Lady's Nativity at Loreto this year, was greater than any year since THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 28, 1868 pleasant evidence of the spread of irreligion among a class in which an appearance, at least, of outward reverence was wont to be habitually observed.—TVestininster Gazette. RECEP2 10IV OF THE CHINESE EMBASSY (From the Anglo-American Times.) Some five years ago two gentlemen might often have been seen in earnest conversation as they strolled along the broad way which makes the top of the Peking Wall appear like a road. On the one side lay the Chinese city, on the other the Tartar, and looking as they did over the vast as semblage of houses whose roofs were far beneath them they must forcibly have felt the isolation among 'a strange people. They were accredited from the most powerful family of mankind to the most numerous. The one represented the Anglo-Saxon in his island home of Britain ; the other the Anglo- Saxon on the American Continent he had made his own. Away from party squabbles, from all the mean jealeousies and disturbing influences which affect the two kindred peoples, these gentlemen took a broad and generous view of the relations which ought not only to exist between those they repre sented, but between them, aspiring, as they do, to be masters of the world, and the swarming mil lions whose hum came up from below. It was natu ral that Sir FREDERICK BRUCE and Mr. ANSON Buit- LINGAME should be filled with the philanthropic de sire to do a great good to a vast multitude, for even men narrower in conception and inferior in in tellect could hardly fail under the circumstances to be thus affected. Let any one imagine for himself a position wherein he could guide the course, and ad vance the interest of a third of Gon's creatures, and ask himself if he could refrain—throwing aside an opportunity but rarely vouchsafed because it did not involve a personal gain. Can we wonder that the philanthropic feeling took strong hold of these two minds—canny Scots though both were—for the one was the direct dtscendaut of the BRUCE.. and the father of the other left his native heather to settle in America. Every subject connected with China's exterior relations was appropriately discussed on the walls of Peking by the British and American Ambassadors. That China must be brought into the family of nations was their settled conviction, but how best to do it was the question. Before them was; the Palace of the EMPEROR and the offices whence the edicts went forth obeyed by the three hundred millions who occupied this large and favoured portion of earth's soil, and to influence these rulers was to influence the nation. This was uo easy task, for there was a well-grounded suspicion in the minds of those men. The Saxon with them was associated with opium-smuggling and with war—a nefarious trade and a gauntleted hand. In success the Envoys knew that the Chinese would mainly benefit, but in a lesser degree only would be the benefit to the sections they represented of the Anglo-Saxon people. They knew that hitherto European nations had been but only scraping on the coasts of China, that a trade with three hun dred industrious millions meant something even be yond the conception of the trading mind of Eng land, and as the Chinese produce luxuries which they would readily barter for Manchester and Sheffield goods that the gain at least in the first instance would mainly accrue to the British, now prepared to supply the demand. It is no wonder that where everything fitted so nicely, where the interests of all three nations, indeed of the world, ran in the same groove, and they had only to push, that the Ministers were quickly able to dissipate preju lice and educate the Mandarins up to the point. Sir FREDERICK was promoted to Washington, and left the EMPEROR'S Government unfeignedly sorrowing at his departure. But to the day of his death he never lost his deep interest in the strange people he knew so well, and his in fluence was never wanting to aid Mr. BURLINGAME in forwarding the policy they had matured. In process of time, and after a seven years' residence, Mr. BURLINGAME also announced to the Chinese Government that he was about to withdraw. Con fidence had long before this been established be tween him and the Chinese Ministers ; they were shrewd, intelligent men, and the measures intro duced at the recommendation of Sir FREDERICK and himself had been judged by their fruits, which were in the highest degree favourable. They marked the rigid abstinence from interference in the domestic affairs of China, the honest and fair decisions on disputed points, and the suppression of English and American dictation elsewhere. They saw their country visibly rising under the new system; their exchequer was comparatively full, money could be readily procured when required, and the Government of the nation began to awaken from its lethargy of centuries, if weak and exhausted, at least free from Debt, with boundless undeveloped resources, and a population of 300,000,000 hard working and frugal subjects. The natural conse quence followed the teachings, on the announced departure of the last of the two men they most trusted. The Chinese desired ANSON BURLINGA3IE to employ his time in the countries to which he was returning in their interest, and . in consummating the foreign policy he in conjunction with Sir FRE DERICK had originated and recommended. For many reasons he was the best man they could have se lected, though there was one drawback of which they were not aware. Their connection of the future will be with America—their connection of the pre sent is with England. It would have been manifestly wrong to have chosen an Englishman to act for them in questions in which the English are at the mo ment so deeply interested, and with the knowledge that but a few years had elapsed since English hands had fired the Palace of their EMPE ROR. With the United States they had had no quarrel. The great emigration of China is to the shores of California, and their rising_ trade points to the East and not towards the Wes ; in one word, these two great nationalities daily grow in the intimacy of neighbourhood. They were wise then to seize the opportunity of Mr. BURLINGAME'S departure, though the occasion was a mere accident. With him they associated an English official as one Secretary of Legation, and a French official as the other, thus represent ing the three principal Powers. To represent their own nationality they sent as joint Envoys a Mant chou Tartar and a pure Chinese, both of high rank. Mr. BUttLINGAME, filled with the enthusiasm of the great good to the human race he was about to ac complish, sailed on his mission. Aware that the only object was to open China to the world, and to benefit alike every nation that sought the inter course, he anticipated little opposition except from the opium smuggling interest, and from the close and jealous monopolies which the false system of trade with China had created. He knew he would be well received in his own country, nor did the result belie the anticipation, for he was met in America with a confidence little less generous than that reposed in him by the Chinese. But the question was how his mission would be received in this land, which at the moment is, beyond comparison, the one most interested in it. England is professedly a liberal country —the advocate of free trade, of the rights of the human race, of freedom of opinion and inter course. Englishmen are a keen trading commu nity, and might be expected quickly to see the ad vantage to them, above other people, of more open communicationwith the most numerous family of mankind. But a malignant influence remained strong enough, in the first instance at least, to overshadow with distrust these advantages. " A full-blooded Yankee, a dexterous American politi cian," as the Standard calls Mr. BirehieweasiE, was at the bead of the mission—and in this lies the secret of the anti-China strength given to the oppos ing opium and monopoly interest. A dim idea rests in the English mind that supremacy in the Chinese Seas is passing from British into American hands -- that the march of events will be hurried beyond calculation by the World's Highway almost con structed between New York and San Fran cisco, and that the centre of Eastern commerce will shortly wing i:s flight from England, and settle down on one of these two towns. This prospect resembles that of a tradesman, who finds that a grand new thoroughfare is about to take away and transfer his custom to his rival, and if Mr. BURLINGAME'S mission meets with the cold ehoulder here, he and America should make RELIGIOUS FANATICISM. Fanaticism and impiousness combined were displayed in the disgraceful proceedings in Lombard-street last week, on the occasion of " Brother Ig - natius's " preaching to a city con gregation mostly of men on the unrighteous ness of mammon. On the Friday previous he had spoken strongly, not on matters refer ring to Ritualism and Monasticism, but rather after the fashion of Spurgeon, on the sins com mon to such places as Lombard-street, the head quarters of mammon worship. His stric tures had provoked criticism and, perhaps, in some sensitive if not guilty breasts, feelings of resentment. The rector of the church, in which he preached, vouches for the evangelical charac ter of his sermons, but the London Protestant Association, it seems, if not so bad as the letter of the indignant father of the Rev. Mr. Lyne to the Bishop of London, describes it to be, seems, nevertheless, to have had no small part in instigating and organizing the disgraceful mobbing of Mr. Lyne and the con gregation as they left the church. Women and clergymen were insulted by.well-dressed ruffianism ; and Mr. Lyne himself escaped with difficulty, and only by the aid of a rather som nolent body of police. The motives which animated the aggressors seem, by all accounts, to have been of a mixed character. Pure Protestantism, of the Protestant Association type, seized the opportunity of giving vent to its fanaticism against a deacon in the Estab lishment, who sometimes claims the character of a monk, and appears in the habit and cowl of a Benedictine. But, in addition to this uncouth Protestantism, in its most repulsive form, violent in language and foaming at the mouth, there were symptoms also, in this unmanly mob of well-dressed men, of impiety and gross ribaldry. It seemed to be a protest on their part against the intrusion of a preacher on mammon worship in their peculiar precincts. Such men are not accustomed to be bearded, as it were, in their den ; they will leave religion alone provided it keeps at a respectful distance and has its say to such as choose to listen, at accustomed Sunday services, but if it dare to step out of the ordinary routine, and raise its voice on a week day, in the heart of the busy city, they seem to resent the intrusion as an insult and an injury. Hove far such a feeling prevailed in the mocking and jeering crowd, it is difficult to say, but its presence is an lin _ allowances for a very bitter, but a very natural, feeling. With the future course of trade, however, this mission has nothing to do. If the ALMIGHTY has so created this world that the best and shortest road from Europe to China is across the American Continent no nation can alter the decree, and they may well submit without murmur to the inevitable. It will be many a long year, if ever, before the United States is able to supplant English cottons and cutlery in the markets of China, and what the people who now inhabit the earth have to do is to make the most of present circumstances, leaving coming generations to adapt themselves to changing conditions. It is in this spirit alone that the , Chinese mission should be received in London. The Standard, in an article marked with more than usual bad taste, on Wednesday, asked what had it come to do—when months ago the Treaty it proposed to make with the Western Powers was published to the world. The less Eag land says about her generosity and forbearance to China the better, for the Standard is open to a bitter, a killing answer ; but it would be wise in the British Government to make no mistake about its position. It might be supposed, on reading this and similar articles, that the mission is to England alone, though it is but one of many counixies. In Europe it is sent to France, to Germany, to Russia, as well as to England, and although a failure in Lmi don would materially les3en its utility, that very failure would enhance its success elsewhere. 'The astonishment and indignation excited by England's conduct in this matter in the United States is re flected by the delight and exultation among Euro pean nations. " Here is a fine sample, say they, of English liberality—of English Free-trade ; here is the best proof of what we aver, that an intense selfishness dictates English foreign policy, covered by that most hateful cloak—hypocrisy." A persistence in this narrow-minded jealousy would more than anything help to alienate the United States and to isolate England, and already, with a crow of exul tation, the Patric, sneering at this instance of Eng lish narrow-mindedness, invites the Embassy to hasten to Paris, where, in a country of broader views and more enlightened policy, it will meet with a very different reception. Supposing it acted on the advice, her MAJESTY'S Government would be placed in a position of isolation far from enviable. That Government may rely upon the fact, that hence forth they will have to meet China in the Council of Nations, and shape their course by the laws of International Comity. They may prefer sending their mandates to the EMPEROR'S Government through a Resident, but they will find an open, unshackled commerce better answer their purpose, and in a free competition they need fear no rival. We believe that the mission will. be followed in China by measures highly important to trade, and that one of the first of these will be a reduction in the import duties. When the newspapers which have adopted so ungenerous a tone begin to learn ' the objects aimed at, they will see that the mission in the highest sense represents the Progressive Policy in China, which at this moment is of more value to • England than to all other nations combined. lIIISCELLINEO US NEWS. ( From the Anglo-American Times) NEW YORK, Sept. 12. The state of the South is a cause of grave alarm, as it seems to be approaching the phase of civil war, and it is even difficult to guess whether things have not already crossed that boundary. The list of horrors would merely shock, without giv ing your readers any further information than that the outrages appear to be nearly balanced between blacks and whites. Stories are fly ing about concerning solicitor Binckley and the end of his charges against Commissioner Rollins. The latter has named all but 7 of the 25 supervi sors of the revenue, but the Secretary refuses to appoint them. Mr. M'Culloch and Mr. Rollins had a conference on the Bth instant to effect, if pos sible, a compromise, but Mr. Rollins commenced by demanding the dismissal of Solicitor Binck ley, which the Secretary declined, and things reverted to the status quo. The investigation of the charges is postponed till the 15th, and District-Attorney Courtney is to act for the Go vernment. Mr. Rollins's place makes many months water, and Mr. Woodbridge is among the hungry applicants, and he has rushed from defeat in Ver mont, to, he hopes, success in Washington. Ili is so far successful, at least if the rumour be true that the President has promised him the place when he gets Rollins out. The situation, however, is a strange one, as it appears that the Commissioner can hold on until he is satisfied with the appointment of a suc cessor and defy the President. Among the minor appointments is that of Charles C. Dame, of New buryport, to be collector of the Fifth Massachusetts District, vacant by the death of J. C. Browne, of Salem. The official statement of the vote in Ver mont, last week, is not yet made public, but the following figures are substantially correct :—Page, Republican, 40,988 ; Edwards, Democrat, 14,023 ; Republican majority, 26,965, or, in round num bers, 27,000, not quite as large an increase over the majority of last year as at first supposed. The Republicans anticipate a great triumph in Maine, on Monday, putting down their majority at 25,000, and some even go beyond these figures. There can be no doubt that affairs are getting on satisfacto rily for the Republicans, who have lately experi enced a wonderful increase of confidence. Speaker Colfax is expected back in Washington on the 18th, to be ready, if necessary, for the extra session, which as yet is not decided upon. The Speaker gives a terrible account of the outrages in Colorado, and he came near to having his own hair raised, requiring a baud of friendly Utes to escort him to Denver, within twenty miles of which city the savages carry their operations. The great scull race for the championship of America and s2,ooo,between W. Brown of Portland and 11. Coulter of Pittsburg, came off at the latter place on Wednesday, and re sulted in the victory of Brown, who made the fastest time on record. The coroner's jury in the case of the Van Orden family, who perished in their burning dwelling on Belle River, Canada, last week, have returned a verdict directly implicating Captain Moses Robarge, Van Orden's partner in the mill business. The conversion of John Allen, " the wickedest man in New York," has furnished our papers with something to say. The religious journals have wept over the reformed sinner, and likened the case to the prodigal's return ; but many of the others have sneered and laughed. Ile has announced his conversion and led in prayer : his example appears to be generally followed, as people have come out of viler dens, and flaunted themselves as " wickeder" still. There's the sailor Tommy Haddon -- there's the soldier Brown—and there's Kit Burns—each worse than the other, now getting their respective dens into order for prayer-meetings, in which the Methodist and Baptist clergymen join, believing a genuine conversion to be wrought. The Republicans of Massachusetts regard the election of William Claflin, as Governor, as a matter of course, and the Democrats have given up all hope of carrying the State. Governor Bullock declined the re-nomination, and Dr. Loring having been with withdrawn, Lieut.-Govervor Claflin was nominated with acclamation ; Joseph Tucker, of Lenox, defeating the candidate of the prohibi tionists, Whiting Griswold, for Lieut.-Governor. The rest of the ticket is the same as last year, the re nominations being accepted without the formality of a ballot. In the history of Massachusetts only three Lieut.-Governors have been elected to the higher office, and William Claflin, if successful, will be the fourth. His predecessors in this honour were Samuel Adams, Levi Lincoln, and Marcus Morton. Boutwell has expressed the opinion that there was no particular advantage to be gained from a meeting of Congress on the 21st instant, and he therefore advised the assembly of a quorum to extend the recess. By cable we learn that his advice has been acted on, for the quorum assembled on that day, and without doing any business the recess was prolonged until the 16th October. Au editor of a leading American newspaper, de termined to give his countrymen a little wholesome advice, got from a New York hotel a few of the orders sent from the rooms of residents who pre- tended to be sick, and therefore unable to take their meals in the public roona. After reading a little homily on gluttony, and the injurious effect of eating more than enough, he took at random these few specimens from his little bundle of sick-room literature. No. I—("Sick and cannot come to breakfast.") "Please send beef steak, fried potatoes, fried eggs, dry toast, hot Indian cakes, green tea." No. 2- 7 Pork chops, hash, fried eggs turned-over, Graham bread toast, boiled ham, omelette, fried potatoes." No. 3-- " Beef steak, mutton chops, ham, stewed oysters, hashed meat, kidneys, liver, boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, ham omelette, buckwheat cakes, buttered toast, coffee." And here is a dinner for a sick man: " Beef tongue, roast chicken, roast pork, tole slaw, mashed potatoes, purling ale, rum jelly, apple'' nuts, oranges, ice cream." This being the diet for the sick, we leave to the imagination of our rea&ss what people in health would consider necessary under the erroneous notion that food is nourish ment and strength. Sometimes a little miss would carry down the message, glibly running off the order for a dozen dishes, some calculated to give an ostrich the colic, ending perhaps with a sigh, "an d that's all." Bath English and Americans charge themselves with gourmandizing ; but though th e y may eat more indigestible food, we doubt whether either nation equals the French or Germans in quantity. We have always the picture of th e French peasant presented to us with his handful of sorrel, in contrast to the Americans and English with their blocks of beef or of pork ; but sorrowful he is over his sorrel, and if he had the opportunity would go like a tiger at the block. The house of Mr. Newshatn, the Republican member for the Louisiana Legislature, at St. Francis Ville, was recently assailed by a band of armed r uMasS fortunately for him ho was absent at the time. The prayer meetings at John Allen's late dance house in Water-street still continue. That of the 9th Sept. possessed no novel feature, being attended by nearly the same persons who have been present during the seri es ' The ministers engaged in the work report that much good is being done, and that many of the hardened sill• ners of Water-street and vicinity have awakened to do sinfulness of their past lives and resolved to reform. Canal-street prayer meeting was very well attended, an the audience seemed to be really in earnest. The 'le l ' David Mitchell, pastor of the church ; the Rev. Alexander M‘Lean, Duane-street Methodist Episcopal Churc h ; Messrs. Lowrie and Burdett, city missionaries, and other° were among the speakers. The proceedings were rot varied from those of previous days, excepting that pray er was offered at the request of an anxious mother for her sou and daughter. A correspondent thus writes of hil t " —" The central figure of the meeting was Allen, a 1' 353 about fifty,with as hard a looking face as one would find la a thousand. He is a native of this State.
