Allerly House, the residence of the deceased, is on the opposite aide of the Tweed from Melrose ; but, as there is only a foot-passenger chain bridge at that point, the funeral procession had to make a circuit through the village of Gattonside, across Tweed Bridge—about a mile in the direction of Abbotsford— and return thence through the village of Darnick to Mel rose. The funeral left Allerly about half-past twelve o'clock, the company, who were the more immediate friends of the deceased, being conveyed in five or six)nourning car riages. The hearse and all the accompaniments were of the simplest character, there being no attempt whatever at display. The hearse was drawn by four horses. On ar riving at the entrance to Melrose the procession received an accession from the town and county people, and at Buc clench-street the members of the Senatus of the University of Edinburgh and of the University Court, as also deputa tions from the Royal Society of Edinburgh and from the Galashiels Mechanics' Institutions, joined the cortege. The professors of the university wore their gowns and hoods, and they were preceded by the janitor, with the mace, and two servitors. Sir David's carriage, which was closed and the blinds drawn, followed immediately after the hearse. On the arrival of the procession at the ancient cross of the town the coffin was removed from the hearse and carried shoulder high along Abbey-street to the grave yard. The pall-bearers were as follows :—Colonel Mac 72lierson, son of the deceased, chief mourner ; Mr. Gordon, A Parkhill, Aberdeenshire, son-in-law : the Rev. D. Brewster, Kilmany, nephew ; Mr. Key, and Professor Christison, representing the Senatus of the University of Edinburgh ; Dr. Alexander Wood, representing the University Court ; Professor Balfour, representing the Royal Society of Edinburgh ; and Professor Sir James Y. Simpson, the family doctor. The coffin bore the follow ing inscription :—" David Brewster, died 10th of February, 1868, aged 87." The grave is on tht.: south side of the Abbey, outside the walls, and adjoining the family bury ing-ground of Sir Adam Ferguson. There was no funeral service at the grave, prayers having been offered up, according to the Presbyterian custom, in Allerly House, before the funeral, by the Rev. Mr. Cousin, of the Free Church. The shops in Melrose were shut during a con siderable part of the day. The weather was excellent, except at the time when the procession left Allerly and immediately after the interment, when there were two heavy snowstorms. ler day treated treated he had not be THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 17, 1868. enerals )eril of an un nto the PRICK 4d.

OANDLES, GLYCERINE, and SOAP. — A NJ Gold Medal was awarded at the Paris Exhibition to Price's Patent Candle Company Limited, for " Candles, Glycerine, and Soap"—the only ono to any British exhibi tor for these three things combined. The chief Candles of the Company are their "BELMONTINE" and "PRICE'S PARAFFINE" for those who must have the ex' reme transparency of pure Paraffine ; their "GOLD MEDAL PALMITINE" and " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," for those who, while desiring candles of great beauty, require also steady brilliancy of light and freedom from smoke and smell; their good old-fashioned " B ELMONT SPERM AND %VAX," and "BEST" "No. 2," " No. 3," and "BATTERSEA" COMPOSITES for those who require only perfect burning without caring for transparency ; and their "CHAMBER" Candles, hard, and of small diameter, to avoid the dropping of grease when carried. Their new toilet soap, "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIE GLYCERINE" con tains half its wt.ight of their distilled Glycerine, and should be the one toilet soap in use, especially in winter, because of its admirable effects in preventing chapping of the hands and face. There ought also to be in every house one of the sealed bottles of their patent distilled Glycerine, known every where as " PRICE'S GLYCERINE," two or three dr, ps of which, mixed with three or four times as much water, will in a day or two remove chapping and roughness of skin, whether of adults or children ; and when this is effected, a single drop of the undiluted Glycerine applied once a day will prevent the recurrence of the chapping and roughness. insist on having " Price's Glycerine" in the Company's own sealed bottles, quantities of cheap impure Glycerine being now sold in the shops because of the low rate at which the dealers can buy it in compa , ison with Price's. All the good medical authorities abroad as well as at home order " PRICE'S" as the ono only Glycerine to be used. " PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS" for burning in the wide glasses are believed to be the very best Night Lights made. " PRICE'S CHILD'S NIGHT LIGHTS" are known everywhere, and aro excellent for burning without a glass.

ALIENS AND NATURALIZATION. " Historicus" again appeared on Wednesday with a letter occupying nearly a page of the 7 hues on " The Law of Aliens." In his usual clear and vigorous style he discusses the subject. He first shows,•not only the existence, but the working of international law. When the news of the Trent affair reached the English Cabinet, the most dis tinguished jurists were summoned to say what the law of nations was, and the decision was absolutely dependent upon their advice. When the American Government proclaimed a blockade which injured all the nations of Europe, and Eng land in particular, no argument was listened to to break it—for the law of nations expressly states that a belligerent has a right to institute a blockade, and that a neutral is bound to submit to this right. Had the question been whether it was worth while to go to war, "Historicus" considers that war would have been declared to break the blockade, but war would not have been declared to release Messrs. Slidell and Mason. The point to which he desires to draw particular attention is that of criminal jurisdiction over aliens. The law of England is, that while British subjects are amenable in the case of particular offences to trial in this country for acts committed abroad, foreigners cannot be tried here for any offence committed out of the realm." If an Englishman and an American are together in a foreign ship, if the Englishman killed the American and comes to England be will be hanged, but if the American kills t h e, Englishman and comes to England he cannot be tried. A foreign ship in which the captain has barbarously ill-used the crew ma y come to a British port, and his victims languish or even die in English hospitals, yet the offender may walk the streets without punishment. It is clear law that a foreigner cannot be tried in England for the murder abroad of either a foreigner or an Englishman. Formerly even an English subject could not be tried in England for the murder of a foreigner abroad. Indeed the law in olden times went beyond this, for it was only at the commencement of this century that an Englishman could he tried in England for the murder of anothe r E ng li s hman out of the do minions of the Cro wn . The law " before the reign of Henry VIII. was th a t if one British sub ject killed another abr oa d, h e could only be tried by the semi-military t r ib una l o f the Constable and Marshal, even thou g h the victim died in Eng land, because the stroke was g i ven th ere where no visne can come ;' and so s t r i c t was th e l a w of venue that it is said, till the tim e o f H enr y VI., if the blow was struck in one English county, and the death occurred in another, the murderer could not be tried in either." The American practice being derived from, is similar to the English doctr ine ; but nearly all the C on ti nenta l na ti on s differ from it altogether. In Fr ance j ur i s di c ti on is assumed over foreigners on French territory for offences against the State committed abroad, and most States of Europe have the same law. Some go even further, and apply the jurisdiction to other classes of crime. " Historicus" considers this a sound principle, and he states that the Anglo-Saxon doctrine, both of alle giance and of citizenship, ought to be reviewed toge ther. While we are willing to relax our hold upon persons who have left the realm, we ought to ex tend and strengthen our jurisdiction over thosewho may choose to pla ce t h emse l ves w ithin its protec tion and control. A n d h e conc l u d es in these words —6' I believe that, subject to proper limitations a nd conditions, the real so l ution w ill b e found in the concurrent admission an d establishment of three principles-1. A general right of expatriation. 2. A universal criminal jurisdiction over all persons within a State, whether subjects or aliens, alike for offences, wheresoever committed, against that State, and, perhaps, against its subjects. 3. A liberal and extended practice of extradition. The obstacles to the settlement of these questions exist not so much in any difficulties of law or considerations of policy, but rather in the combined influence ofp rid e and It is ignorancethe true operatingand wholesome upon popular bnsi prejudice. _ ness of public discussion to enlighten that ig norance, and to mitigate that p r ide. W e are beginning to see that to claim a dominion fine thing. It requires over persons who have renounced their country is, a b f u t t er a s all,te step not further s uch a to cveroymprebend that a claim to immunity for the crimes of its citizens against other States is not a legitimate object of national ambition ; and that to become the great asylum of unpunished rascality is not the best title to the first place in the civilised world. When these things are better understood nations will be less jealous of that which conduces to the mutual advantage of all. They will be less apt to quarrel, and far less eager to fight." This is intended as a slap on the face for Miss Columbia. General Banks presented to the House the R e port of the Committ ee on F ore i gn Affairs on the rights of naturalized citizens in a fair and straightforward speech ; nor is there much to object to in the Report. It appears to have started on a misconception regarding naturalized citizens being arrested, tried, and punished as criminals apon the ground that they were natural born subjects of the Crown. No such trial and con viction occurred during the late troubles in Ire land, though some of the prisoners were refused a mixed jury. The Report forcibly attacks feu dalism, but in a way wide of the mark. " The feudal claim," it says, " is absolute over the mind as over the body. It denies liberty of conscience and of thought by the same title that it proscribes the right of locomotion. It dwarfs human capacity and reason, and corrupts the nature of man and society. As a subject, the life of Bacon is an offence ; as a scholar, it is the glory of his race. Shakespeare is known to the law as a criminal i in the world of letters and of liberty he is revered as an immortal spirit." The Report acknowledges that the United States has never had any fixed policy, nor any code of laws, on the subject of the status of naturalized citizens. This state of things can no longer continue, and foreign Governments must prepare to surrender some of their claims. The impressment of seamen was settled by the war of 1812-14--the right of search has virtually been abandoned—and the third great ques tion of international importance—expatriation—re mains now to be settled. AU foreign Governments had profited by the emigration of their subjects to the r i e , a a n n d c t o h u e t S s o h v a e Sovereigns i a g e : s e p a t e r d e the th e r d e f o o c r t e r n b e o o u f n p d e b r p y e a t u c t a s l United States. Most fostered it, and none forbade which received their implied sanction. Though Ame teietpoma lidni legislationse disturb, b, m American ucphf lae sns j a u tt r oi i o s ni t s .mmp h ua a si d protested ag dust the doctrine as bi n di ng u p on th e rt allegiance, they had done so on ly as a t ra diti on o f a m s a u n n n d o i b pEe e no s gp o llies.h framed rila. or destroy in others, rights common to all nations, and the municipal legislation of Great Britain has had this effect on the people of America. The right of self-preservation justifies Congress in making such regulations as may maintain and promote the na tional welfare and prosperity. In 1790 the free people of the States numbered three millions and a quar ter, and allowing for the usual increase their descen dants now amount to about nine millions and a quarter. Deducting those made independent by the first peace treaty with Great Britain, and allowing four millions as negroes, over twenty m il lions will represent the foreign element imported since 1790, and these are now subjects of foreign Governments if the doctrine of perpetual allegiance be correct. The Report then goes on to pourtray the effects of such a principle on such a number. Every State in Europe would by it have garrisons in every part of the Union. Three-fifths of the able-bodied population could be summoned to fight for Governments with which they had no connec tion against their fellow-citizens, and would be ac counted traitors if found in their ranks. The in justice of this principle is more apparent than the remedy, but there must be a corrective for so great a wrong, and it must be found. Though local legis lation is powerless to effect reform, a statute declara tion of the rights claimed is indispensable as a first step. Failing to obtain a recognition by other Governments of the principles embodied, the Presi dent should be invested with the same authority within the United States, as to subjects of other Governments, that foreign States enforce upon American citizens. These are the most marked points of the report, and this important subject is now in a fair way of being settled, and that settle ment will be a hard blow struck against Fe nianism. The moment the outrageous pretensions advanced by these conspirators are brought to the test of law, argued in Legislatures, and discussed by Governments, they will be exposed. It is for the interest of all nations that a general criminal jurisdiction should be possessed by the State over all persons within it, whether subjects or aliens, for offences, wheresover committed against that State, as well as a liberal and extended practice of extradition, and these principles will certainly be affirmed by the United States. —Anglo-American 7 imes. 711 E LA7E MR. COBDENS' CORRESPOAT- DEN CE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR -Will you kindly oblige me by affording space in 7'he Sun for this letter, and also for one from the president of the Chamber of Commerce of Verviers, which has, like many scores of similarly kind and sympathetic communications, remained, to my deep regret, much too long unanswered. Various causes have occasioned this : the chief among them has been a desire on my part to repay to them with my own pen ; and this I still hope by degrees to accomplish. In the meantime all friends may rest assured that every expression of affection and respect for the memory of Richard Cobden is carefully treasured among the family relics. I may yet have to tax the forbearance of valued correspondents a little longer, while attending to family arrangements and pressing business matters in connexion with my dear husband's affairs and papers. It is my earnest wish to arrange, with a view to their publication, a collection of his letters on the several subjects which engrossed his political life, commencing probably with those on national edu cation, in which he took so deep an interest in the early part of his career, and on behalf of which he again fully purposed to labour had God in Ms wis dom permitted him to live. Any of his friends who may be in possession of letters suitable for this collection will oblige me very much by allowing me the use of the originals, which I shall take care to return, if so desired. I am, Sir, yours obliged, CATHERINE A. COBDEN. 12, Petersham-terrace, Queen's-gate, Feb. ---. " Verviers, 1867. " La Chambre de Commerce et des Fabriques, Verviers. U Madame,--We desire to discharge a debt which we gladly contracted the day when the Economical Society of Belgium honoured us with the presentation of a bust of your lamented husband, Richard Cobden. We pray, Madame, to have the privilege of offer ing you a copy of the proceedings in connection with the reception of his bust at Verviers, and we trust that this book will be, as our President for 1865 said, a consolation to the stricken heart of the widow of him whom England is proud to num ber among the most illustrious of her sons. 4 ' Pray, Madame, accept the assurance of our respectful sentiments. _ _ _ " ii. ZURSTUPER, th President. "CFI. MUENDORFF, Secretary." " Dear Sir,—The great appreciation of my lamented husband's character and abilities, expressed by the Belgium Society of Political Economy, and by the Chamber of Commerce of Verviers, has truly been among the greatest earthly consolations I have yet experienced since his death. " I am especially indebted to them for compre hending my individual loss, and, in admitting this, I am sure they will believe me when I say, that I ever mourn the loss which so good a life as that of Richard Cobden has been to humanity at large. " Allow me to hope that the principles which your societies are combined to enunciate may, through your active exertions, bring forth fruits of peace and prosperity, and with grateful acknow ledgments for your sympathy and kindness, believe me to remain, yours respectfully, " CATHERINE A. COBDEN." " 12, Petersham-terrace, Queen's -gate, Feb. 10." THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD.—The Union Merchants' Exchange of St. Louis has adopted resolutions requesting the Missouri Legislature to pass the resolutions asking Congress to grant additional subsidies to the Union Pacific Railroad, eastern division. They have also agreed upon an appeal to Congress setting forth the advantages of the road to the development of the agricultural, mineral, and commercial resources of the extreme Western States and Territories. The appeal says :—" We believe the eaten sion of this railroad to afford the simplest, most economi cal, and permanent solution of the Indian question, as the settlements springing up as the railway advances will compel the Indians to accept the usages of civilization or disappear from the land." TILE ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN RAlLROAD.—At torney-General Brewster on January 24th sent to the Pennsylvania Senate, at Ilarrisburgh, a report relative to the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad, setting forth that the company has violated its charter by not complet ing the road to Erie, and that a writ of quo warranto will consequently lie. The report was referred to the Railroad Committee. There is a paper in last Saturday's Atheneum on international copyright law, in which the writer looks hopefully forward to the principle being adopted in America. In 1838 the first Act was passed by Great Britain on the subject, but it was repealed by the International Copyright Act of 1844 and 1852, which enables the Queen " when she has entered into a treaty with a foreign State, whereby the proprietors of copyright works first published in the British dominions shall in respect of such works become entitled to the benefit of the laws of copyright of such foreign States then—but only in that event--the Queen may, byorder in Council, ex tend the benefit of the laws of copyright to works first published in such foreign State ; provided cer tain formalities, such as registration, &c., at Sta tioners'-hall, be duly complied with." The prin ciple of these Acts is based on reciprocity, but they ought to take the broader principle of equity. A publisher is not justified in equity in publishing without the author's consent. the works of that author. If this be admitted, the argument that A can steal from B because B steals from A falls to the ground. In that case the British Government should have based its legislation upon the principle that an author's work is the author's propetty, no matter of what State that author is a citizen. It is by such legislation that other nations are shamed into reciprocity. if American works were protected in the United Kingdom English works would soon be protected in the United States, for the injustice would be manifest if Tennyson's poems were stolen by the one country, while Longfellow's were pro tected by the other. Were this so a great pressure would be brought to bear on Congress by the American authors who benefited by such legislation; and as these authors exercise a powerful influence on their countrymen, the most direct way of bring ing it to bear would be by such apparently disin terested legislation. Since the first Act in 1838 thirteen treaties have been entered into by the Crown upon which orders in Council have been founded. These include Prussia, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, and various small States in the North of Germany, which in all make up a popu lation of 113,000,000. Earl Stanhope carried the Copyright Amendment Bill of 1852 through Par liament ; Lord Lytton, the Dramatic Authors' Act ; and Sir Roundell Palmer, the Artistic Copyright Act of 1862. Many years ago Mr. Clay introduced into the Senate a measure for extending the benefits of the United States' laws of copyright to non resident subjects of Great Britain and France in respect of future publications. Though he argued its merits powerfully, asserting that reciprocity as well as justice demanded the concession, the bill was not carried. It is, however, probable that the question will again be brought before Congress, and it is generally believed that Charles Dickens will not lose the present opportunity of discussing the subject with the leading members, and advocat ing with all his ability this act of justice to both American and English authors. A meeting of pub lishers and others has lately been held in New York to bring this matter forward. MERCANTILE SHIP NEWS. GRAVESEND, Feb. 7.-Arrived, the Return, from Phila delphia.

'nation as to his safety, and that the mystery attending his fate has not been in any way cleared up. Up to a late hour last night the police officers to whom the task of in vestigating the circumstances connected with the disap pearance of the rev. gentleman has been assigned had no satisfactory information with regard to him. They knew nothing of a statement made that he bad been traced to a lunatic asylum in Germany, and cannot find that he called at his sister's house in Queen-square, Westminster, on the evening of his mysterious disappearance. That house has been searched, and from the character of the persons who are in charge of it, it seems very unlikely that they know anything of foul play. The ornamental water in St. James's Park has been dragged several times, and is in deed so shallow in every part that a discovery must have been made immediately if the body had been there. All that the police know has been already told, namely, that after Mr. Speke left the hatter's in Warwick-street no one has been able to give them the slightest information con cerning him. Mr. Williamson, the chief detective, who has charge of the case, has had a vast number of visitors, and received many hundreds of suggestions, all of which, as far as desirable and practical, have been promptly acted upon. Only those who were absolutely useless on account of their outrageous absurdity have been rejected. A Bristol correspondent writes as follows :—" No one not resident amongst them can conceive the intense pain which has been produced amongst the inhabitants by the mys terious disappearance of the Rev. Mr. Speke, or the feverish anxiety which is felt for tidings regarding him. The great respect in which he and his family have been held has caused this feeling to pervade all classes, from the mansion to the cottage. This feeling has now been en hanced by the issue and circulation through the town and villages of placards announcing the mysterious disappear ance of a youth between 14 and 15 years of age, and inviting any information that can be given regarding him. It would seem from the particulars that have transpired that he was last seen alive on Monday, the 10th instant, at the Weston-super-Mare station of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, where he took a ticket for Bristol. From that time not the slightest trace of him has been obtained. The mystery, as may be supposed, has caused the deepest pain to his friends and throughout the circle in which he was known, and his connections have caused to be pub. fished a very minute description of his person and clothing. His linen, it would seem, was marked ' G. R. T. 8.,' and there was a family crest engraved on the case of his watch."—Post. TIIE PREVENTION OF FEVER. It will be a matter of extreme regret to the sanitarian if the opportunity afforded by the present serious outbreak of typhoid fever at Terling, which continues daily to add its victims to the sick and death lists, be not made the occa sion of placing prominently before the public one or two exceedingly important lessons in regard to the prevalence and prevention of fever in different parts of the country. We cannot affirm that we do not possess sufficient know ledge of the cause of typhoid—the child of defective drain age and the direct result of the pollution of drinking water by excreta. There is scarcely a single town in which this connection has not been demonstrated. Two examples may suffice. At Worcester typhoid fever is ende mic, and the report of a sub-committee appointed at the end of 1866 to examine into the condition of the town states that "it (fever) is clearly traceable to foul drains and privies and the use of polluted well water ;" speaks, more over, of " overflowing privies and cesspools," imperfect drains, or an entire absence of them ;" and points out that amongst the evils of the city, although amply supplied with water from the Severn, is the use of wells for the supply of water. There are certain people in Worcester who believe that water from wells surrounded by drains and cesspools, and supplied by water from the leakage of these places, is better than any other water. The same story is told of Tamworth. Mr. Morgan, C.E., was directed by the Home Secretary to visit the place and report upon its sanitary condition in August last, in consequence of a severe outbreak of typhoid fever, which was apparently inexplicable save upon the assumption of the use of impure water and defective drainage. Mr. Morgan says : " I found that Tamworth is wholly dependent for its supply of water for domestic purposes upon shallow wells which are in close proximity to yard sinks, privies, and cesspools." The water, on being analysed by Mr. Way, was found to be of a " very dangerous character ;" the lowest proportion of solid residue was about five times as much as in the average of London waters. Mr. Morgan remarks that "typhoid fever and diarrhoea are amongst the prevalent diseases, and that these are distinctly connected with the pollution of the wells. These two diseases have been most prevalent in the localities whence have been obtained the various samples of water sub mitted for analysis." The fever at Terling has been proved main w t iv k a e y ways place), e) which a nd to depend upon exactly similar causes. It is calculated that ill the town of Worcester might, by remedying sanitary defects, save 400 lives and 8,000 illnesses each year— repre senting the money value of £lO,OOO per annum. Terling has paid a heavy penalty already for allowing its water to be polluted— 300 out of 900 of its inhabitants have been fro m are w , ofe whence ce course,lleakage k t a s:o e stricken with fever, and thirty-four deaths have already the contamination of water may be prevented—either by the introduction of a complete system of drainage or the doing away of drains altogether (which are liable to the deodorisation and collection of excreta by such a ' plan as that devised by Mr. Moule in his earth-closet system. It is reported at Terling that the irrigation system will breakage,occur occurred. and There probably be recommended as far as the liquid sewage is concerned, the rest being so treated that it may be used by the cottagers, as heretofore, in their gardens, the cesspools being probably done away with. At least this is the impression produced by the visit made by Mr. Arnold Taylor under the direction of the Home Office. There is an important lesson to be learnt by the Terling authorities from the experience gained on Baron Roths child's estate in Buckinghamshire, which would seem to be peculiarly applicable to their case. In the villages of Halton, Buckland, West Turville, and Aston Clinton, " overflowing and fever-breeding cesspools, ditches, &c., have been cleared, and not a foul smell can anywhere now be found." The result has been brought about by the introduction of the earth-closet system. A man and a boy, with a horse and cart, are found to be s ufficient to do what is now required to work the plan in the villages named, with a population of 800.
