The visit of the American Minister to Liverpool has been a most interesting affair, and one that naturally excited attention from its own importance and the significance that attached to it at this juncture. Yesterday morning his Excellency visited the Town Hall, and addresses were presented to him from the Chamber of Commerce and the Liver pool population. Mr. JOHNSON made a suitable re ply in acknowledgment, and expressed his confident hope that nothing would interfere to sever the union which existed between England and America. Ile likewise returned an answer to the address from the Chamber of Commerce, in which he said that he rej deed to think that the men of Liverpool sought only to be rivals in peace, not in war, with the men of America, and that it it was a joyful sight that their flags were raised up together upon al most every sea, symbols of freelorn and peace, of a freedom they will die to maintain, and of a power which is adequate to its maintenance. These re plies were necessarily more brief than they would otherwise have been on account of the banquet in the evening, where his Excellency had an oppor tunity of more fully entering upon his views and expressing his opinion upon the several topics re lating to public affairs. Mr. JOHNSTON subse quently visited the Exchange and News-room, where he was most enthusiastically received, the greatest compliment which can be paid to an Ame - rican citizen was accorded to him as he left the Town Hall, the English ensign being lowered. The American Chamber of Commerce gave a banquet in the evening, which was well attended, and among the guests were Lord STANLEY, Mr. GLAD STONE, &c. The toast of the evening was received with the greatest enthusiasm, and in replying, Mr. REVERDY JOHNSON declared that nothing could give him more satisfaction than the reception he had met with, more especially as he had been told that that city would prove an exception to some of the places where he had been. He very truly said that such feelings as bitterness for the past or dis trust for the future should be far from them, and that the stability of the United States Government rested on a basis that could not be shaken. In alluding to the working of the Chamber of Com merce, Mr. JOHNSON said that the changes it had seen since its establishment in 1801 were, in truth, surprising. They found Liverpool with a popula tion ,of seventy-seven thousand, their number of vessels some five thousand. Now the population is half a million, :and the vessels more than twenty thousand, and their trade with the United States is more than two-fifths of all the trade they have with the rest of the world. Mr. JOHNSON expressed his decided opinion that so long as Lord STANLEY represented the foreign relations of the country there was no risk of the peace being disturbed. " We have thrown aside," added he, em phatically, " the mysteries of diplomatic in tercourse." This is encouraging at any rate and it does not need much reflection to arrive at the conclusion that frankness is far better , and more likely to p rove effectual than finesse in I dealing with questions of national importance. His Excellency made an impressive allusion to the noble nature of the vocation in which the merchants of Liverpool were engaged. Commerce, as he aptly put it, holds in its grasp the world, and wherever man is found it ministers to his wants ; and, not content with material things, it is the pioneer of religion and morality, and secures a wide-spread Christianity. In conclusion, Mr. JOHNSON declared that the two Governments differed but iu form, and in England, as in America, they are founded on the eternal principles which are the security and safeguard of human liberty. Lord STANLEY, in responding to the toast of her MAJESTY'S Ministers, was extremely well received, and spoke to the point in his usual style. As for party politics the noble lord most truly said that we had all more than enough of them of late, and would soon have plenty more, both of an oral and written character. The general principles upon which the external relations of the country are carried on do not bear affinity with the vexatious points of political controversy which are most hap pily excluded from meetings of the character of yesterday. ;Lord STANLEY'S views are too well known to need comment; but, as he appropriateiy The following particulars relative to the East Asiatic Expedition sent out by the Austrian Go vernment have been furnished by the Vienna Board of Trade :—Two vessels, the Danube and the Fried• rich, left Trieste on the 17th inst. for Gibraltar, Tangiers, Capetown, Port Elizabeth, and Singapore, where they will be joined by Dr. Scherzer, who proceeds hence by the overland route, stopping at Suez, on the invitation of M. de Lesseps, to inspect with that gentleman the works of the Suez Canal. The vessels are expected to arrive at the Cape about the middle of December, and at Singapore the middle of February. Thence they proceed to Bangkok, Hongkong, Shanghai, Tientsin, Pekin, Yokohama, Jeddo, Osaka, Nagasaki, and ulti mately to San Francisco, some of the ports of Central America, Callao, Valparaiso, Montevideo, and Buenos Ayres, &c. Dr. Scherzer has been fur nished with many letters of recommendation from English and German firms. Sir John Bowring has given him letters for the Siamese Ministers, and Lord Stanley circular letters for the British Mi nisters and Consuls in the East. The various presents for the rulers of Siam and Japan, and the collections of samples of Austrian manufactures, son sist of 158 cases, weighing 20,7951 b. It is the in tention of Dr. Scherzer to exhibit these samples in the principal ports of China and Japan, and after wards to present them to some of the Chambers of Commerce, with the view of establishing a sort of permanent exhibition of objects of Austrian in dustry. The expedition consists of the screw frigate Danube, Captain von Wipplinger, and the screw corvette Friedrich, Capt. Pitner ; Commander-in- Chief and Minister-Plenipoientiary of the expedi tion, Baron Petz (late commander of the man-of war Kaiser at the battle of Lissa) ; First Commis sioner and chief of the commercial and scientific department, Dr. Karl von Scherzer, who accom panied the Novara Expedition, and published the results of his scientific reseE rches ; Councillors of Legation, Baron Herbert and Baron Trautenberg ; and Attaches, Baron Ransonnet and Mr. Bernath ; eight commercial reporters, for the purpose of studying the Eastern markets, and reporting thereon; one draughtsman and photographer (M. Burger) ; Mr. de Calice, Consul-General, and Messsrs. de Ilengelmuller and Schlick, chazlcellors, who accom pany the expedition for the pu -pose of organizing the consulates to be established in China and Japan after the treaties shall have be m concluded. The cost of the expedition for the fir st year is calculated at £60,000, and has been pre vided for by the Anglo-American Bank in the .shape of letters of credit upon their agents in the Ea 4 AN called lilsii Row ay or EEn - snor.—Ellen Weston, also s brought up on re man d, be fore iNIIN wa A l 3 Mr. Paget, charg ed with wounding Robert Tighe with a chopper. The co mplainant's head and arms were bandaged. There is no doubt he was severely wounded. The affair, which has given rise to several investi gations, took place at the Shannon beer-house, in ,Well - street, Poplar, a fortnight ago. The prisoner and complainant and several relatives were there. A piper was playing favourite national airs. The party there got into a high state of ex citement and fury. A fight took place between two women named Catherine Tighe and Bridget Tighe. The complainant interposed, and, according to his account, the prisoner, who had been drinking with Bridget Tighe, struck him on the head with a chopper, and inflicted a severe wound, and while he was reeling and bleeding from the effects of this blow another woman gave him the finishing stroke with an iron poker. He was car ried to the hospital grievously wounded. The woman made her escape, and has not since been heard of. A police-constable named Samuel Gil pin, No. 252 K, took the prisoner into custody on the night the row took place in the yard of her own house. She attempted to escape by getting over a wall, and fell from it. She was much hurt, but since her incarceration has entirely recovered. Various witnesses gave conflicting accounts of the transaction and the blows inflicted. The prisoner denied using a chopper, and called two boys named Michael and Patrick Tighe nephews of the com plainant, who said that no chopper was used. The boys gave their evidence very clearly, and said that their mother hit Robert Tighe on the head with a shell, and the prisoner struck him with a poker. Bober Tight said what are you going to do with me, are you going to murder me ? Then mother took the poker away, and said he's had enough of it. Mr. Paget believed the boys had told the truth, and that no chopper was used by the prisoner. She, however, had a good deal to answer for. She had wounded the man with a poker, and it was a cowardly, malicious act on her part. He sentenced her to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. EXPLANATION.

REMARKS, The diminution in barometrical pressure noticed yesterday afternoon has continued during the night over Great Britain, but on the Irish coast a slight rise is shewn during the last twelve hours. Readings are now comparatively low in the north, being about half an inch less than those on the French coast. The change in temperature has been considerable on the S. and E. coasts-13 deg. in London. In the W. it is nearly unchanged. During the night a gale set in on the W. coast : it began from the N.W. at midnight at Ardrossan and at Brest. Strong S.W. winds were felt in Ireland, where westerly winds are still blowing ; but at the entrance of the Channel moderate N.W. winds are reported, while in the S.E. a strong S.W. wind is felt. The weather, which appears very unsettled, ie cloudy, and rain is falling in the south. The sea is disturbed in the English Channel. Warnings to all coast!. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. STAFFORD.—At a meeting of the Liberal electors a letter was read from Mr. Arthur Bass, one of the present mem bers, expressing a wish to be liberated from his engagement to contest the borough, as he bad been advised io stand for East Staffordshire in conjunction with Mr. Il'Clean. The meeting gave its assent. OXFORD UNIVERSITY.—A powerful committee has been formed at Oxford to promote the election of Sir Roundell Palmer. The Warden of New College is chairman, and seven other Heads appear in the list. Sir W. Erle, Sir John Coleridge, Dean Stanley, Dean Hook, Mr. Cardwell, and Sir Robert Phillimore are amongst those who have signified their willingness to become members of a London com mittee. MANCHESTER.—The Conservatives have resolved on bring ing forward two candidates. Mr. Joseph Hoare, of London, will issue his address in a day or two, and it is expected hatt Mr. Henry G'artside, of Saddlewortb, will be his col league. SOUTH lIANT9.—Mr. Millward, a barrister, and whose seat was once the residence of the well-known William Cobbett, at Dotley, in Hants, is announced as the second Liberal candidate for the southern division of the county. GREENWICH.—By the advice of corny of his supporters, Alderman Salomous has agreed to coalesce with Mr. Glad stone. Tho return of both these gentlem , n may now be con sidered a certainty, the Liberals being united. The Conser vatives do not intend to fight the borough. Irswicll.—A rrquisition has been presented to Mr. Cob bold, the mayor of the town, askirg him to come forward as a Ccnservativo candidate. Mr. Cobbold I.as refused the re quest, assigning rs a reason that the requisition was not signed by all sections of the patty. LINTEPOOL.—It is stated that a local gentleman, named itiipson, intends to offer himself as an "Independent Tory" candidate. The Conservatives have already forwarded two candidates ; Mr Graves, ono of the sitting members, and Lord Sandon. _ _ BRISTOL—It is understood that Mr. J. M. Miles, who held the seat for a short time last session aftor the retirement of Sir Morton Peto, will again bo brought forward, and that the party aro now deliberating whether they will associate A( , don!:I candidate with 3.4, giics, v tryly !4teppt to Mick thf OXFORD UNIVERSITY.—The Daily _Wm states that Sir Roundell Palmer will not resign his seat for Richmond in order to contest Oxford University. His friends at Rich mond will adopt a similar course to that which was taken by Mr. Hardy's supporters at Leominster in 1865, and will return the hon. and learned gentleman for the borough which he now represents, irrespective of what may take Dlace at the university. MARTLEBONE.— Mr. Daniel Grant, of Cleveland-gardens, Hyde Park, offers himself as a candidate. He states that he is a Liberal in the broad sense of the term, and e he would support the repeal of the ratepaying clauses in the Reform Act, the:adoption of the Ballot, and the perfecting of the conditions which surrounds the lodger franchise. This makes the fifth Liberal candidate. Mr. Stanford Las come forward in the Conservative interest. ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE. —lt is announced that Mr. Thomas Mellor, of Ashton-under-Lyne, has consented to come forward for that borough in the Conservative interest, in apposition to Mr. Milner Gibson. NORTH WILTS.—Sir Henry Hoare's attention having be en drawn to a statement that he was to be invited to stand as a second Liberal candidate for North Wilts, the hon. baronet announces that he has no intention of aban do ning his candidature for Chelsea. GLASGOW.—A public meeting was held on Tuesday in the Merchants' Hall, Sir James Campbell, of Strathcaro, presiding. After Sir George Campbell, of Garscabe, had stated his political views, embodying a general support of the Government and the maintenance of the Irish Church, it was unanimously resolved to nominate him as the Conservative candidate for the representation of the city. LEOMINSTER.—It is very probable that at the ensuing election this seat will be lost to the Conservative party ; the Conservatives are divided, but the Liberals are united. Both the Conservative candidates are determined to go to the poll. DURHAM. —The Right. Hon. J. H. Mowbray has issued his retiring address to the electors of Durham. He says : "It is not without a pang that I thus voluntarily bid fare well to aconstituency whose cordial and undeviating support has been accorded to me during sixteen sessions, and throughout four Parliaments. Although threatened with a contest at the ensuing election, I had every reason to hope and believe that I should not have solicited in vain the suffrages of an enlarged constituency." NORWICH. —Mr. R. J. Harvey who has been repeatedly invited to contest Norwich in the Conserva tive interest, has announced his definite intention not to come forward. ROCHESTER.—One of the Conservative candidates for this city, Mr. Adolphus Henniker, has formally announced his intention of retiring from the contest. The other Con servative candidate is Mr. A. Smee, F.R.S. Mr. P. Wykeham Martin and Mr. Serjeant J. A. Kinglake, recorder of Bristol, the present members, offer themselves for re-election. SOUTH ESSEX.-Mr. Perry Watlington has declined to contest South Essex as a Conservative candidate. _ THE SPANISH . REVOLUTION. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) THE unanimity and moderation which have hitherto characterised the Spanish Revolution still prevail amid all the uncertainty as to the ruler to which the future of the country will be entrusted. Who will be the King of Spain is a problem to the solution of which there is hardly the remotest clue. But though the apparent want of a programme on the part of the leaders would produce the most injurious consequences in any other State, the work of " reconstruction " still goes on. Liberty of the person, the press, and, above all, of the conscience, have been pr oc l aime d. The terrible distress amongst the lower classes is being relieved as far as the resources of the Government will permit ; and it is no small tes timony to the success of the new regime that the popular excesses reported are few and far between. There can be little doubt that the revolution, if it continue as it has begun, will accomplish the regene ration of Spain—and something more. The effect of this great change upon slavery in the Spanish colonies promises to be decisive. It is generally admitted that freedom in Spain and slavery in her colonies are incompatible. If, as is said, the Cuban slaveholders have long expected the emancipation of the blacks, it surely cannot be far distant now. We are told that the great West India colony has long been pre paring for the abolition of slavery by diminishing hand labour and substituting powerful machinery. A commission of five of the principal planters has left Havana to confer with the Provisional Government on the subject of emancipation. It ris announced that the slaveholders are not averse to it. All they ask is that the liberation shall be effected gradually, and during a space of time sufficient to prevent disaster. The .Tunta, of Madrid has declared against slavery. It has not, however, taken any decisive steps in the matter, but, whilst it leaves the great question to the Government, it recommends that all children born in bondage after the 17th of September 18'38 shall be declared free. This hesitation of the Junta to deal with the existing slavery must not be unfairly inter preted. Spain has plenty of home trouble to occupy her for the present and for months to come. The people are not unnaturally averse to enterino , on what may be a lengthy dispute with the Cuban planters whilst so much remains to be accom plished at home. There are many difficulties in the way of this as of all other such reforms. Most important of all, the Spaniards are in no con dition to deal with their colonists as we dealt with ours. With an empty exchequer, a large deficit, and the most pressing need of money for the relief of the distress prevailing throughout the country, Spain cannot at present pay large sums for the freedom of the slave. The Junta had no resource but to refer the main question to the Government. It is, however, something gained to be assured that no slave will in the future be born in a Spanish colony. The general opinion that the rest will follow in good time is well founded. is a material gain in the interests of humanity, emancipation in the Spanish colonies would be much. They contain 500,000 negroes. But as a moral gain this step would be more important, for Spain is the only European State that now holds the negro in bondage. ;- tit-1Z ~Ik*T., v 1; 1111/I}ll4.

(Signed) ROULAND• 711 E LIVERPOOL BANK. The Liverpool papers have now published in fu ll the report of Messrs. Roberts and Bartlett, tcv n members of the Investigation Committee, on th e causes of the failure of the Royal Bank. Th e p show that it mainly arose from the locking up of ta u capital of the bank by advances of a most extra ordinary nature, and of unprecedented amount, t° ,, two firms, who, after their insolvency, were " carrie u on" by the directors apparently from want t courage to admit the fact that they bad made very heavy bad debts. In addition to this circumstan ce both of the paid directors were largely indebted to tho bank. One of them (Mr. Hutchison) has been adjudicated a bankrupt, and the other (Mr. Sha nd) is dead, and his estate will not nearly suffice to pal his creditors in full. A brother of the late manager i° also a debtor to the bank to a large amount, and his account will result in a considerable loss. As re gards Mr. Hutchinson it is a peculiar feature °` his case that he was nominated as a director to PO tect the interest of Mr. Edmund Molyneux, a very large shareholder, and that from the year 1859 to the date of the stoppage he contriv e). to get into debt to the bank to the a moun t of £103,477, against which they hold only about £15,000 of securities extracted frn lia , him a few days previous to the stoppage, and the ir right to which is disputed by his assignees. A fur ther noticeable point is that he is ascertained to ha ve been insolvent for the past 20 years, and that in t h , e years immediately preceding his break up be ha' been giving away between £2,000 and £3,000 in °ha' ritable donations. With regard to the other paid direc tar, Mr. Shand, his overdrawn account appears to have been liquidated, and the only reproach is that he , remained a director under circumstances of porso na ' difficulty such as to render it impossible for him to exercise proper moral control over his offending 01- league. The other directors, Messrs. Bibby, 1 -101Ble ' and Rae, seem, as regards their pecuniary relations with the bank, to have acted honourably. Mr. 11 „ ( ; Withers, the manager, who e nj o y e d a sa l ar y of £3 o ' per annum, was not a debtor to the bank except account of shares to the amount of £6,717, and he I has made an ass i gnmen t f or th e b ene fit of ' creditors. Mr. Jeffryes, the sub-manager, wit h , a s salary of £1,500, was a debtor to the amount on of £558, which has since been :repaid. As res P ent) 0 the advances of the bank to Liverpool firms, tb most singular is that to Messrs. H. T. Cunningham, and Co., who were on the peint, ,t° failing in 1866, when the bank, in or d er to avoid loss of £60,000, agreed to carry them on, an d 5 . , 11 the course of little mor e th an a year b ecam e lose" to the amount of £528,000.

ROEBUCK AT SHEFFIELD. MR:RoEmucK manfully battles with his troubles at Sheffield. He has appealed to the electors' sense of injustice, has enlarged the programme which on many points was far too narrow for one of the most Radical of boroughs, and whilst he still supports his former position with respect to the Sheffield trades unions, he does not fail to explain his previous career whenever it admits of explanation. The result is a somewhat curious medley of consistency and con tradiction, repentance and inflexibility—leaving the impression on the whole that, whatever may have been Mr. ROEBUCK'S faults, the constituency he again seeks to represent can claim no advantage over him. Per haps the most remarkable of the many notable speeches Mr. ROEBUCK has made during the present campaign is his last. The interpre tration he gives of the American war question is truly original. His belief was, and is, that the American people would become so numerous as to be all-powerful among mankind. His object was to prevent the United States having that immense uncontrolled power ; and he urged that England should acknowledge the South, just as America acknowledged Hungary, when she was in rebellion against Austria. " The moment that acknowledgment had come, away would have gone the blockade of the American shore, and there would have been an end to the American civil war." Such a result would have been much to the benefit both of the separate States and of mankind generally. Mr. ROEBUCK then proceeds to describe an interview with Lord.PALmERsT oN, during which the late statesm an admitted that he held precisely the same opinions as the member for Sheffield, but dare not officially say so. " I had to look at the destinies of mankind; and I thought, for the des tinies of mankind, we should have taken that oppor tunity of separating the United States." It would, perhaps, be waste time to stop and condemn this per sistence in error, after the last chance of justifying such an error had vanished. On the subject of America Mr. ROEBUCK is hopeless. " The interests of humanity" should not be overlooked, but when they are applied to thwart the interests of another State, they generally mean selfishness. Does it escape Mr. ROE BUCK, that if the Americans become so powerful as to dominate over the rest of mankind, such a result will, in all probability, be owmg to their enterprise and prosperity, and to other nations' feebleness and decay ? Great States are rarely broken up in the interests of humanity. Mr. ROEBUCK'S parallel illustration is particularly unfortunate. The Americans recognised Hungary; but foreign sympathy had the effect only of causing the interference of Russia and the final downfall of Hungarian hopes. It is by no means certain that our interference would have separated the North from the South ; it might ; but if if it had, would it have been a gain to the American States or to the interests of humanity ? But most of all are we unable to reconcile Mr. ROEBUCK'S sym pathy with the South with his anxiety for the free dom of the slave. There are many who think that the abolition of slavery has for the present produced the most deplorable effects, but there is none, except Mr. ROEBUCK, who can believe that the independence of the South would have emancipated the negro. Let us accept facts. The slave is free, and America is a great and power ful whole. Mr. Rolm - cc:K. would do better by showing the Americans how they can escape the difficulties which now beset them, rather than by constructing absurd theories respecting the means by which those difficulties might have been avoided.
