The success which has attended the rescue of the Europeans so long detained by King THEO DORE has induced those interested in the fate of the supposed survivors of the unfortunate vessel at St. Abbs to bring their case again before the public. The particulars of the story have been recapitulated, and may be briefly summed up. Thirteen years ago the St. Abbs, having on board many of the cadets of the Indian service, struck on a reef off the East C east of Africa, and drifted on shore. The survivors, it was believed, fell into the hands of the natives of Somaliland, who took them up into the interior, where there is reason for believing some of them yet linger in hopeless capti vity. It is not altogether matter of conjecture, since the wandering Arabs who carry on traffic in the interior report having seen strangers, and some hides which came down from Somaliland to the coast bore some rudely scratched letters on them. Those well acquainted with the country and the tribes who inhabit it think the fact of their exist ence very probable. We know by King THEO DORE'S example that the detention of Europeans is by no means without precedent. Dr. LIVINGSTONE'S experience confirms the impression, since in prose cuting his researches in the interior he escaped with difficulty from the pressing hospitality of some of the chiefs. According to Captain BELL'S protest— " The St. Abbs struck on a reef connecting Juan de Nuova and Gull Island at 11.30 p.m. on the 14th of June, 1855, and immediately came broadside on to the sea, which was running high. The mainmast went by the board. Two fathoms were found along side, the vessel drawing 18 feet. She soon bilged. From the darkness of the night and high sea nothing could be done, and all hands were ordered into the cuddy for protection. Some obeyed, others re mained forward. At daylight the longboat was launched without much difficulty, and supplied with water, provisions, charts, instruments, &c., and the passengers and crew ordered into her, but, ,vith the exception of the mate and two seamen, they refused to venture. In about ten miautes the . )oat was dashed to pik:us alongside ; the three men her were saved with great difficulty. Wind said sea continuing high, and the tide setting the reef to the ship, rendered it impo3sible to reach the shore. Oa the 16th the third boat was lowered, and the mate ordered to go and en deavour to establish communication will the shore. ['he mate refused, whereupon the captain went himself, feeling he ought not to order others to do what he would not do himself. About thirty yards from the vessel the boat was capsized, Capt. BELL and the three seamen reaching shallow water in an exhausted state. Being unable to render any Lssistance to those on board they waded across the reef to Gullet Island, a mile and a half distant, in search of help, though what help they expected to get there is a somewhat perplexing ques tion. They were afterwards joined by two more, to wn. THE SUN LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 7, 1868. who reached the shore in safety. Admitting all these particulars, there is rto proof that more of the passengers or crew may not have reached the shore alive on portions of the cargo or fragments of the wreck. Besides Captain BELL, and the three who came in the boat with him, two afterwards joined him, and three were seen drifting towards shore, and afterwards, it is suppowl, found dead ; neither party knew of the existence of the other. There may, therefore, even by Captain BELL'S own story, be several survivors who may have fallen into the hands of the Somali, at a little dis tance from the wreck and its spoils. If we are to disbelieve the whole story, what becJmes of the evidence of Colonel VLAYFAIR, the British Consul at Zanzibar, respecting the hides ? At any rate the -niry ought to be prosecuted, since this is not ‘ , ;,111 speculation should be indulged in, • nassengers and crew have a LATEST INTELL LGEN Ch. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AMERICA.

The Chinese treaty has also --ov ratified, and the Committee on 4 ;rected to inquire into Canadian 1(h 1 . matter on and the relatives of the right to know the truth. The official correspondence relating to the Wim bledon Volunteer Review has been published, and will be found interesting to peruse. The Under- Secretary at the War-office acknowledged the re ceipt of a report from Major General HAMILTON on the review of Volunteers at Wimbledon on the 25th ult., and expresses the satisfaction experienced by Sir JOLTS PAKINGTON in regard to the execu tion of their manoeuvres, and especially at the remarks of that officer, in respect to the regularity which marked the Volunteers on their march from the ground at the end of the Review. It is intimated, in connection with the Report, that his Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Commauding-in-Chief has perused it with great satisfaction. The Review took place, it will be remembered, in presence of the Prince of Wales, and the number assembled was less than had been anticipated, in consequence of which other arrangements had to be made at the last moment, but little inconvenience was expe rienced thereby. Several manceuvres were gone through, and the force was drawn up in line to resist the approach of an enemy supposed to be coming from Putney and Wandsworth. This was well performed throughout - , and after the manoeuvres were ended the force was formed in columns at quarter distance, marching past his Royal Highness the Prince of WALES in quick time, in open column of companies, his Royal Highness the Duke of EDINBURGH honouring the Ist Lon don Artillery Corps by marching past at their head. Subsequently the force was formed in double line of contiguous columns facing the saluting point, and advanced in review order, a Royal salute concluding the proceedings. No wonder that, reading those last words offering a spontaneous 'tribute to the discipline manifested by the Volunteers on their disposal, no wonder we say that Lord LONGFORD refers to Sir JOHN PAKING TON'S especial gratification at the commanding officers' remarks in regard to the regularity observed by the Volunteers on their march from the ground at the close of the day's proceedings. General HAMILTON, the Major-General com manding, in commenting upon the late review in his communication addressed to the Adjutant-General at the Horse Guards, takes occasion to remark, " I have reason be satisfied with the manner in which the several corps of Volunteers were handled by their brigadiers, and with the general steadiness of the men under arms;" adding that he could not conclude without remarking upon the efficient manner in which the ground was kept by a detachment of the 17th Lancers from Hampton Court, aided by some police, almost every Volunteer being outside the enclosure before the public entered the reviewing ground, and the Volunteers marching off to their respective stations with perfect regularity. been unaninaou..•, Foreign Affairs has been L.— the expediency of negotiating a new t r eaty with Great Brita in. passed appropriates the imports towards sl3rsh,eooFou,OnodOin ganßniullalasly the reduction of the P ublic Debt. finally The Conference Committee has struck from the bill the section legalising gold contracts.

The most extensive and complete preparations have been made to lend Eclat and magnificence to the occasion. Decorations andilluminations will be made on an extensive scale. The Ist North York Rifles and the North York Artillery Volunteers will be in attendance as a guard of honour on his Royal Highness, as will also the 15th Hussars from York. On Monday after noon the Prince will be met at the Middlesborough station by the mayor and corporation and a number of other gentle men, when a loyal address will be presented to his Royal Highness in the name of the corporation. Remaining the guest of Mr. Bolckow over Monday evening, his Royal Highness and suite will, on Tuesday, the 11th, open the Albert Park. A grand banquet will be held in the new Exchange Hall, when the Archbishop of York and several noblemen and gentlemen are expected to be present. Every facility has been provided by the authorities for a successful fete. The prince will leave by train early on Wednesday morning, so as to be in Scotland in time for the opening of the grouse season, THE WELSH EISTEDDFOD AT RUTHIN. The National Eisteddfod is now in full working order. The bards, the more prosaic, if rather more prac tical social science men, the minstrels, and all the personnel of the great annual gathering of the Prin cipality are assembled in the ancient town of Ruthin, which has been made specially spruce and gay for the occasion by means of floral arches, garlands, and ban- Ders 3 which combine all the brightest types of colour. rho Eisteddfod of the current year will perhaps be the most important that has been held in the Princi pality. Of late years, what may be termed the prac tical element has been gradually leavening the purely bardlo, and this year the practical element is stronger than ever it has been. The inaugural address of the president of the Social Science Department, M. Hugh Qwen ; seems_ to b4VP been an excellent one, and this department of the national gathering may be rendered highly beneficial in many practical ways to Wales. Several paperp hep e ring en the 410,01, AO social condition pf the Welsh people have contributed to this department, among which is a very interesting paper en "The Work ing Man and his Health," by Mr. Morris, of the Stamp Office, Swansea, whose paper on " Building ,oeletles," last year, was received with so 1111.1011 favour.—Cambria Daily Leader. PHE DEAN OF CANTERBURY ON HIS DEFENCE. The Dean of Canterbury for the first time takes part, in the Guardian, in the correspondence which has been elicited by the Dean's presidency at the Cheshunt College anniversary. After decla: iug that be has given up no Church doctrine, the Dean proceeds:—"l have no hesitation in saying that, as I do not expect, so neither do I wish for, any rcabsorption of Nonconformists into tho Church of England. I believe it would bo the worst thing possible, both for ourselves and for them. Wo are to bo not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.' And to my mind, his will has been unmistakably manifested in the free expan sion of the Christian conscience as now found among us. It is our duty not to fight against His providence; not to at tempt to IN ork our way back to a uniformity which has ut terly gone by; but to surrender our miserable jealousies; to accept, bravely and frankly, the state of things in which God Las placed us; to walk, in the kingdom of God, and to the house of God, and in society before the world, hand in hand with our Nonconformist brethren. Thus only shall we of the Church of Eng land be making safe and wise preparation fcr the day which must soon come upon her. We may, if we p'ease, lower ourselves, by exclusiveness and uncharitableness, BO as to become in that day a mere sect among sects ; but we may also, and I hope wo ;:hall, so lift in our esteem our Christian brethren around us, as to find ourselves, when do prived of the aid of the State, a church among churches."

TRAMPLED ON BY A BULL.—A shocking occurrence marred the proceedings in connection with the annual show of the Driffield Agricultural Society. Shortly before the judging commenced, a man named Thomas Within, a herdsman in the employ of Mr. Joshua Craven, was in charge of a bull called Red Admiral, two years and ten months old. Suddenly the Admiral turned upon Within, knocked him down, and trampled upon his chest and body, breaking, as it after wards was found, three of his ribs, and, it is feared, inflicting other internal injuries. CHINESE Lor.E. —The St. Petersburg Gazette says that there is now in the Russian capital the richest Chinese library in the world. It consists of 11,607 volumes, 1,168 wood engravings, and 276 manuscripts. The books are on all sorts of subjects, and among them are several rare works, one or two of which are unique, there being no copies of them even in the largest libraries of China. The library was collected by M. Skatchoff, now Consul-General in Pekin, during a residence of fifteen years in the Chinese Empire. Recently M. Skatchoff offered to sell it for 9,000 roubles (4fr. each) to the Imperial Library at St. Petersburg and the Russian Academy of Sciences, but both institutions were compelled to decline the offer for wants of funds. THR BROKEN ATLANTIC CABLE.—On Monday night Mr. Willoughby Smith, the eminent electrician, started for Valentia, county Kerry, in pursuance of in structions from the joint committee of the Atlantic and Anglo-American Telegraph Companies. He was followed on Tuesday by Mr. Latimer Clark, who will verify his tests, which at present shew that the fault lies at about eighty miles from Newfoundland, in water not exceeding, if it reaches, 100 fathoms in depth, and that the interruption of communication is so complete as to put it almost beyond doubt that the injury has been caused by the grounding of an iceberg. Communication will, it is expected, be re stored in less than a month ; but meanwhile the other cable is fully equal to the work required of it. CONVERSION OF CAST-IRON GUNS.—At the late competitive trial between two Woolwich 64-pounder wrought-iron rifled guns and a 32-pounder cast-iron gun, converted to a 64-pounder rifle on the Palliser system, the wrought-iron guns burst respectively at the 2,211 th and 2,273 rd rounds, while the converted 32-pounder fired 2,280 rounds, and was not injured to any extent worth mention ing. The consequence of this trial has been the abandon ment of tire manufacture of wrought-iron 61 pounders, and Sir John Pakington has given a heavy order to the Elswick Ordnance Company'for 212 Palliser guns. The old guns are now being selected at Woolwich for trans mission to Newcastle-on -Tyne, and about 30 of them have already gone. They consist of 65 cwt. 8-inch shell guns, and will be converted to 64-pounder rifled cannon. These 212 guns are immediately required by the navy, but far greater numbers are wanted for our land fortifications. No funds are at present available for undertaking tLe conversion of the old guns on a large scale in the royal gun factories. A REV. LECTURER AND lIIS REPORTER.—The New York Evening Post is responsible for the following " comparison of notes" between an eloquent and reverend lecturer and the somewhat reckless reporter who attempted to put his remarks in type. Here is what the reporter said of his lecturer :—" The lecture last evening was a brilliant affair. The ball ought to have been filled, but we are sorry to .:1,37 only forty persons were present. The speaker commenced by saying that he was by birth an ecclesiastical deduction ; gave alearned description of Satan, and his skill in sawing trees. Among other things, he stated that the patriarch Abraham taught Cecrops arithmetic. We trust the eloquent divine may be induced t ) repeat the lecture at some future clay." Here is what the lecturer said of the reporter :—" Dear sir, in a report of my lec• ture in your beautiful city you have made some mistakes which I wish you to correct. You make me speak of myself as bybirth ' ecclesiastical deduction.' What I said was, that I was not by birth, but only ecclesiastically, a Dutchman. Instead of speaking of Satan as sawing trees, I spoke of him as sowing Awes. I said nothing of Abraham, but spoke of the Arabians as nomads of patriarchial simplicity. I said that Cecrops was the founder of Athens, and ire etructed the people in agriculture." The christening of the infant Princess, fourth child of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, took place yesterday at Marl borough-house.

BENEFIT TO JEJI WARD.-0a IV.onday evening the veteran English pugilist, who contehded successfully in eleven great battles, the last of which was nearly forty years ago, when he beat Simon Byrne with great ease, will have a benefit given him at the Bowery Theatre. In James Ward the people of New York may see one of those pugilists whose race has become extinct —a man of exceeding strength and consummate science ; not very to rge himself, but a model in build, and able in the prime of. his youth to stall off the onslaught of a giant ; great in col wage and in prowess, but gentle in manner and courteous in address. lie is now 68 years old, and is younger and tate:teller in appearance than most of the dissolute scamps, wxto, call ing themselves fighters, fail in stamina between 20 And 30, and seldom live to 40 years of age.

President Johnson has issued a proclamation announcing that the 14th Constitutional Amend ment has been ratified by Georgia. Mr. Seward has also issued a proclamation declaring that the amendment is fully ratified by the requisite num ber of States, and is now part of the fundamental law of the Republic. _ General Grant, with the approval of President Johnson, has issued an order abolishing the second and third military districts with military supremacy, and forming them into a department of the South under General Meade. The fourth district is to consist only of Mississippi under General Gillem, the fifth of Texas under General Reynolds. The department of Louisiana is to be commanded by General Rousseau, and of Washington by General Canby. The Alaska purchase-money was delivered to Baron Stoeckel yesterday.

Much disease prevailed among the birds last season, greatly thinning their numbers, and di minishing the breeding stock for this year. Owing to the fine early season hatching was early this year, and for a time prospects were good. The drought, however, has been unfavourable, and correspondents write us that, where the young grouse have hap pened to be hatched near perennial springs of water, they are numerous in the coveys ; but where the water has failed, the young birds have disappeared, and the old ones are to be seen quite alone. This observation applies to a good number of moors in Aberdeenshire and Banffshire. In Morayshire the disease raged very much this season, and from nearly all parts of that county reports of the prospects of the sportsman are discouraging, so far as regards grouse. In Nairnshire matters are fully worse than in Elginshire. From various parts of Inverness-shire we have reports indicating that fair bags may be inade, and in Ross-shire, also, the prospects are not indifferent. Iu a number of cases, we arc aware that sportsmen who shoot over their own moors are to shoot only sparingly this year ; and in other cases the moors have not been let, with the view of allowing the stock of birds to increase. Though grouse will be in general few, we are glad to report that in most districts there is a splendid prospect of partridge shooting. The coveys are numerous and large, and the birds strong. Of black game also there is a more than usually good promise. The reports from the deer forests have been favourable, though the excessive drought of the last few weeks has told upon the condition of the stags. t rit oti our; OWI rInintSPONDENT.2; A PARIS, THURSDAY, August 0. ~•... _ By this time you will have learned as much as I can tell you respecting the Queen's arrival here.

Ws writicio wire gp popular that he bid fair to create a reputation for' himself, but the Vevernment Are luthg their best to spare him the trouble. In compelling M.

The excitement caused by this extravagant sentence is very great ; indeed, the proprietor of La Lante,'ne has gained general public sympathy. The sentence is on the fact, of it vary e!Atrerne, but compared „nal au one franc damages, it is positively of course, SI. Rochefort's influ- ridiculous. The rename— ft i s not at Bia ikely that the ence as an Opposition write r . Government will benefit by this procedure. There will be a great review at Paris on the 14th, the day preceding the Emperor's Fate. It has been currently stated that his Majesty will issue an order of the day, or some manifesto, which it is thought will be of a warlike character. As no contradiction has appeared, the order may be issued, but the reports of its character are purely specu lative. If the Emperor means war he will not declare it before the time. If he thinks of postponing hostilities he can gain little by stirring up hostile feelings in Europe. According to the roparts of his agency in the La Marmona affair at Florence, he has been successful in lessening the chance of a good understanding between Prussia, Austria, and Italy, and it would be advisable to remain satisfied with this " triumph." M. Emile 011ivier has followed the example of most politicians, and gone to the waters of Vittel, in theVesges Mountains. There he has been serenaded. A great fire is reported from Dunkirk. The State Ware houses on the Quai de la Marine have caught fire, and are still burning. Fifty thousand:pounds' worth of merchan dise belonging to private persons has already been de stroyed. The fire has been got under, and the danger to the port has been overcome. No accident bas occurred. It is not a little remarkable that the Irish Church question is very commonly mistaken here for the greater and more general question of the union between Church and State. Moreover, those who know what the actual question is still maintain that the entire issue is at stake. They do not hold that the smaller question will lead to the greater, but that both are immediately involved. This doubtless arises from confounding the nature of the politi cal struggle in England with that which prevails in several Darts of Europe. Female education is making considerable progress here. A young lady, Mdlle. Bees, has just passed the examina tion for the degree of Bachelor of Science. She is now about to study medicine. THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY. METEOLOLOGICAL nEronTS.

A diminution of atmospherical pressure, amounting to nearly two tenths of an inch, has taken place since yesterday in the northern portion of the British Islands ; but the change in the south and west has been very little. Pressures are now generally low, diminishing in a direction from south to north. The difference in readings between Nairn and L'Orient is nearly half an inch. Since last evening, how ever, pressure in the south-west of these islands has slightly in creased. Since yesterday temperature has fallen in the N. and W. High south-westerly winds prevailed yesterday on the west coast of France, and at Cape Gris Nez it b'ew a gale, which is reported as con tinuing. In the south of Ireland the wind is fresh from the west ward, whilst at the entrance of the Channel it is south-westerly. IZ:in has fallen generally. Thunder is reported from our east coast. The w:,ther is cloudy. According to all .q.ccounts, the cattle disease which has broken out in Russia 1; identical with the rinderpest which has caused such deva;!Ation in Britain. What ever may be its nature, it is spreadi,:is with alarming rapi dity. It has now broken out in some dis:7icts of Prussia on the Polish frontier. Some persons who bat.? eaten meat of animals infected became seriously ill, and halre been sent to a lazaretto for treatment. " All possible precautions have been adopted to prevent the spread of the contagion." The manifestations which have accompanied the great rifle meeting at Vienna have given rise to much dissatis tion in Prussia. Some of the journals openly express their resentment. The Provincial Correspondence of Berlin says that Germany disapproves of these manifestationsbecause she sincerely desires peace and friendly relations between Prussia and Austria. The same paper is happy to notice the care with which the Austrian Government has ab , stained from all participation in these demonstrations. Saving some telegrams which come through the Havas Agency, the value of which we need not estimate, there is little news from Spain. The movements of the Duke and Duchess of Montpensier are as complex and.unintel ligible as ever, but it appears that they have taken up their residence in Portugal, though it is not clear whether it has been fixed at Cintra or Lisbon. The generals who have been sent to the Canaries are strictly confined there. The Spanish Ministers are still at La Granla, where, it is said, the Queen lies ill. There will be in all probability an epilogue to the insur rection which has collapsed in Bulgaria. The confessions of several insurgents who have been captured in the Balkan Mountains has afforded clear proof that the counsellors of Prince Charles of Roumania are directly responsible for the conspiracy. The Turkish Government is about to appeal to the Great Powers. A correspondent of the Daily News, who periodically succeeds in running the ineffective blockade around Crete, says the contest is still maintained, and that two years of war, though they have spread devastation far and wide, have not served to extinguish the courage and determina tion of the patriots. He says there are almost daily combats amongst the burnt villages and neglected fields, whilst the blockade is run as of yore at regular intervals. The running is not, however, altogether unattended with danger, as the Turkish cruisers still keep a good look-out, and fire whenever they think it desirable. Bread, ammunition, and medicines are the great necessities of the insurgents. From the best accounts that can be obtained of the state of affairs in Crete, there seems no doubt that if the Turks were to make a determined effort the insurrection would be quelled. The war is carried on badly, and - the blockade is altogether ineffective. The great difficulty at present in the way of providing the blind with a coinprehensive literature is on account of the various systems of characters used in the embossed books. There are no less than eight different systems in use in England. If every embossed book published were avail able to every blind reader, it would hardly pay the pub lisher ; but when the blind are so divided in the systems they have been taught, the result is especially unsatisfactory. It is gratifying that a committee of blind gentlemen has been formed in London, each member of which is able to read at least three of the systems, or is willing to learn them. They must not be wedded to any particular system, and their duties will consist mainly in taking the opinion of the intelligent blind who are conversant with more than one. The committee desires to increase its 1 numbers, and appeals to blind gentlemen of education and leisure for assistance. It would be bad policy to with hold the treasures of literature from that afflicted class which produced Homer and Milton, 1 0'101 6 ;0'07! 5 1,484,212 72 1,820,943 07 six months .

About seven o'clock this morning a fire of a wor t rapidly destructive nature, and which, it is feared , will be atten led with loss of life, occurred at the premises of Mr. George Mattocks, French polisher, in a large way of business, Portland-street, Sy. James's. is It appears that some short time after the men Mr. Mattocks' employ commenced work a barrel of methylated spirit by some means or other becam e ignited, and an explosion immediately following , the whole place in a few minutes was on fire, the flames darting from the back warehouse where the calamity originated through the house with such in tensity that a number of houses in the opposite side of the street were greatly damaged, some houses to such an extent that they were obliged to be closed. Mr. Mattocks' premises were situated at the cor ner of a gateway, and extended some distance down the yard, the whole of the lower portion of thou' being used for trade purposes. Immediately after the alarm of fire was given the police went for the engines, and four of th e land steam engines were promptly in attendance, And the flames were extinguished, but not till th e whole of the premises were burnt out, the fir e lasting little more than half au hour. Four persons, namely, Mr. George Mattocks, the proprietor of the premises; Edward Walters, of Green-street, Little Pulteney-street ; Edwar d Monument, of Union-street, Middlesex Hospital ; and John May, of Clystone-street, were more of less injured by burning, and taken to the Middlo sex Hospital where they were immediately attended to, but the poor fellow Walters is in such a preca rious state that his life is despaired of. Some lives were saved by the police by mono of ladders. A body of the C division of police, under th e superintendence of Inspectors Harrison and nasQ u i rendered great assistance to the police. It is a fortunate circumstance that the flam es were prevented from entering a store house opposi te Mr. Mattocks' back warehouse, in which a larg e quantity of varnish and other inflammable mate rials are stored. We believe Mr. Mattocks is ia• cured. ROYAL GARDENS, NORTH WOOL WI Under the spirited and intelligent managemel3° of Mr. Chas.
