Since the above arrivals the St. Lancelot passed up the river on Thursday. She left China the same time as the Ariel. The Lahloo, which sailed two days afterwards, arrived in the Downs yester day (Friday), and it is doubtful whether she will not be the third in the race. Two other ships are reported in the Channel, the Taeping and the Belted Will. As yet, the laurels fall on the Spin drift, unless some of the ships which left China later beat her by time. G. '~i ~''~~ 4d. STAMPED 5d THE 11 7 -11:. LV PAILIGILI Y. The most stirring news from the seat of war in Paraguay arrived by the mail on the Ist inst. The fall of Humaita, so long prophesied, has at last taken place, and, contrary to our expectation, does not bring the war nearer to its end. Nor has this news renewed the confidence of Europe in Brazil : quite the contrary. Brazilian securities have fallen nearly 3 per cent. since the de . tails of the taking of Eiumaita have become known, shorn of all the fa vourable phases as set forth by the Brazilian press. Since the last news by the French pa2ket accounts had reached Europe by the Pacific mail steamer Panama very disastrous to the Allies, but were without details, which we can now give in full, showing that the Allies cannot conquer Paraguay. Marshal Caxias having heard from deserters that Humaita was to be evacuated on the 16th of July last, and wishing.to prevent the escape of the little but valiant garrison, ordered a well provided force of from 12,000 to 15,000 men, under one of his best generals, Osorio, to attack that for tress, but was repulsed with a loss variously stated at from 3,000 to 4,000 men. In the Buenos Ayres Standard's review for Europe, of the 26th July, is the following on the battle of llumaita :—The Proveeder yesterday brought further details respect ing the battle of the 16th in front of Humaita. Osorio, with some 12,000 men, advanced on the lines to reconnoitre the enemy's position, and ac tually passed up to the second fosse, having taken a redoubt. "He at once sent despatches to Caxias, asking for reinforcements. Caxias re plied, ordering Osorio to evacuate the position and retire. Then followed one of those awful passages which we read of in wars—the Para guayans opened fire from every point on the Bra zilians. General Osorio had three of his aide-de camps killed, two horses shot under him, his poncho fairly riddled with balls, but he got back. The re treat of the Brazilians could only be effected under the most terrible fire of grape and canister, but it seems that the Paraguayns hid in the ditches, and when the Brazilians began to • retire they .came out and did effective havoc with hand grenades. The loss of the Brazilians in this affair is not pre cisely known, and as a matter of course is exagge rated. A. letter from a physician in Corrientes states that the hospitals are all full, and that the wounded will have to be sent down to Buenos Ayres or Montevideo. After this defeat, iu which the Brazilians mostly suffered, the Argentine troops with a Brazilian reserve were ordered on the 18th of July to storm a battery of only a few guns, an outwork of Timbo, which greatly harassed the Allies. This undertaking was entrusted to two of the best Argentine otiicers—Martinez do 11oz and Gasper Campos—who, at the head of 9,000 men, attacked the Paraguayan fort, but with as little success as their Brazilian comrades two days be fore at II umaita,and 2,oooArgen tin es are said to have perished, their commanders being made prisoners. This battle has been named Guaicuru from a little stream flowing near, and which is also the name of some of the wildest and most savage Indians of the Chaco. According to the Standard the Brazilian reserve did not come up to sustain the Argentines, which might have turned the tide. " Gen. Rivas en trusted the expedition to the command of the brave and much esteemed Colonel Martinez de Hoz, it being understood that on the taking of the posi tion Gely y Obes would come over to lead in person the subsequent attack on Timbo— but man proposes. Colonel Martinez de Hoz, with the Riojano regiment commanded by Gaspar Campos, and about forty picked men as an escort, accompanied by a Brazilian reserve numbering some 500 men, advanced along the path, meeting no opposition till they wheeled to the right and faced the bridge ; there they found the enemy posted. Colonel Martinez de Hoz, sword in hand, charged the enemy, driving them back with very little loss. Pursuing his advantage he deployed down the road, still following the retreating enemy, until lie suddenly felt a simultaneous attack on both flAnks from the ad joining woods ; meanwhile the guns at Guaicuru opened a murderous fire, the position was critical in the extreme, and had Rivas cone up then with reinforcements, doubtless the Allies would have carried the place by storm, but the Brazilians who brought up the rear finding the enemy sallying from the woods at all points, and already having nearly halt their number hors de combat, could push on no further ; thus, in fact, the Argentines were, as it teems, cut off, and when Rivas came up it was the day after the fair. He rescued the retreating Brazilians from the victorious Paraguayans who crowded along the road. After these disastrous defeats, the loss of the Allies being as heavy as on the memorable attack of Curupaity, nothing took place till the 25th, when the death-like silence of the ever-speaking batteries of Humaita announced to the bewildered Allies that Humaita had been deserted without their having the slightest notice, and in they marched by the leave of the Paraguayans, not firing a shot, but to find the empty shell of that great fortress, which has checked the largest and best equipped army and fleet ever raised in South: America for nearly three years, and the lives of tens of thousands of innocent people and millions of money all sacrificed to the grasping policy of Brazil. The fall of Hu maita will not end the war, as Marshal Lo pez, it is stated, is fully prepared to receive his enemies on his new lines of fortifications on the Tebicuari, which equal Hnmaita in every respect, being more inland, and not exposed to the fire of the fleet. But it is hoped negotiations will now take place, as the Republics of Chili and Bolivia have offered their good services, and a gentleman connected with one of these Legationshas left B uenos Ayres for Asuncion to have an interview with Lopez, to ascertain under what conditions he was willing to make peace. The news of the battle of the 18th July, in which so many Partenos fell (inhabitants of Buenos Ayres) was deeply felt, and spread gloom and mourning in every household. And if peace had long been wished for before, and the unnatural alliance with Brazil openly descried, now it was asked with loud lamentations, and Congress has revoked the protocol to the treaty of the triple alliance, as well as passed Senor Marmal's measure calling upon the Na tional Executive to give the fullest information about the offered mediation, and the terms Lopez proposes. To stir up the hatred against Brazil still more, is the publication of some diplomatic notes exchanged at Rio Janeiro inFebruary,lB67, between the Minister of Uruguay, Senor Andres Lamas, and the Brazilian Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the proffered mediation of the United States of America, repeatedly declined by the empire, the necessity of acceptance the Uruguay Minister fully explains, as Brazil was even then unable to raise a new army after the defeat of Curupaity, and only prolonged the war to carry out, if possible, her sinister policy in the river Plate, against all the protestations of her Allies. The resolution in Paraguay against Lopez is only to be found in the Brazilian press and Brazilian official telegrams, which show a wonderful disregard for truth. There is an excellent article in the New York Evening Mail, of August 19, on George Francis Train. "Ishe a fool ?" it asks, "No ; a lunatic ? Not exactly ; what then ? He is a man of superbintellect, with nothing whatever to guide it. He is a steam-engine with no governor-valve and a high pressure of steam. He is a locomotive under full motion with no engineer to manage it. He is a steamship without a pilot. Chain-lightning. An intellectual whirlwind. Chaos. A power—active, irresponsible, irrepressible—without reason, aim, or guid ance." To the suggestion•—there is method in his mad ness, that he has a purpose in keeping himself before the public, the Evening Mail replies :—" Not a bit of it." He is restless, must be doing something; fight, keep moving. During the war, while in London, he attacked the pre vailing sentiment. On returniag to America he sought on the other side the best opportunity to fight. This he could not find iu Pacific Railroad matters, so he joined the Woman's Rights' movement. That being too tame he went into Fenianism. As it was one-sided in America, and that the wrong side for him, he threw him self into Ireland and "flew at the British Lion." Touching his incarceration, we aro sorry to say that another flaw was discovered in his application for release last Tuesday, and the interests of this most energetic gentleman are ruthlessly sacrificed to a pretended informality. The opi ❑ion is universal in America that he is confined by the British Government, who use the claimants of a doubtful and disputed debt as a mere instrument. Mr. Train would be in his element if he wore now in the United States, and it is a great pity that there should be people so ill advised on this side as to detain him. The Evening Mail concludes its article in these words: —"Nature meant Train for a man of influence and true power. She made a blunder some where : she omitted a governing force. This, we believe, is a misfortune to America. That is, it is a misfortu-ne just as the loss of a great man by death is a misfortune. Great men often do harm. But when great men die we say the nation has suffered loss. America lost a great man by the mistake, whatever it was, which omitted the regulating force in Train's character." /1 , Face Powder, is.

TIM GREAT SHIP RACE FROM CHINA The 16,000 mile race among the large fleet of the finest clipper ships in the world, with the new spring teas from China, has this year been watched with more than ordinary interest. _ In all about 40 sailing ships were engaged in the contest. Their departure from Foo-chow-foo and its neighbouring ports ranged over a space of 25 days. Of these ships were those which accom plished such extraordinary quick passages in last year's and the year before races—viz., the Ariel and the Taeping, as well as others which have ob tained considerable notoriety fir their quick-sailing qualities, the Serica and Fiery Cross. This year's contest has at least displayed most splendid seamanship on the part of the officers and crews of the different clippers, and though there was no prize held out, as in former years (a handsome premium), there was no lack of the determined courage and perseierance which characterised their seamanship in former contests. The leading ships in the race, with the days of sailing, tonnage, and cargo, will be found detailed in the following list : May 27.—Sailed the Belted Will, 812 tons re gister, owned by 'Messrs. Busby and Co., classed at Lloyd's A 1 for 14 years, with 934,4961 b. of tea. May 27.—Sailed, the Undine, 769 tons, a new ship, built last year, owned by Messrs. J. Kelso, with 1,088,3981 b. of tea. May 28.—Sailed, the Ariel, 853 tons, owned by Messrs. Shaw, Lowther, and Co., Royal Exchange buildings, built in 1863, and classed A 1 for 16 years, 1,221,0561 b. of tea.

May 30.—Sailed the Lahloo, 799 tons, a new ship, built last year, owned byMessrs. Rodgers and Co., of Glasgow, classed A 1 for 16 years, cargo 1,231,3971 b of tea.

June 2.—Sailed the Fiery Cross, 830 tons, built in 1863, owned by Messrs. J. Campbell and Co., of Liverpool ; cargo, 867,6001 b of tea. It will be seen by the above that three of the ships—the Ariel, Lancelot, and Taeping—left on one day, May 28, a nd that the Spindrift sailed on May 29, and the Lahloo on May 30. The next beard of them was from Anjer, showing that these vessels passed the Straits about June 22 and 23, and from subsequent accounts most of the other vessels passed down the China seas altogether. The Ariel was the first ship to reach the Chan nel, She passed through the Downs at two o'clock on Wednesday morning, and was hauled into the East India Dock at noon that day. The Spindrift was the next ship. She passed through the Downs at thirty minutes past twelve o'clock on Wednesday forenoon, and got into the East India Dock at twelve o'clock that night. The Ariel was undoubtedly the first ship in dock, but the Spindrift was the winning ship according to nautical time by fifteen hours and a half, the Spindrift having, it is said, accomplished the run in little more thr.n 91 days; the Atiel, which left China the day before the Spindrift, took about 95 days 12 hours. The repo: is made by the captains of these two ships of their run are interesting. The captain of the Ariel states : " We sailed from Foochow on the 28th May. Passed Anjer on the 22d June. Rounded the Cape of Good Hope on the 19th July. Passed Ascension on the 2d August. Crossed the line on the Gth of August, and reached soundings on the 29th August. We passed the Sir Lancelot for London on the 30th May; she had been out two days ; in lat. 23.40 N., long. 118.26 E. On 10th June we passed the Undiue ship for London. On the 14th June we passed the Lahloo, when she was 14 days out, in lat. 4.5 N., long. 113.3 E. On the 18th of June we passed the Spindrift, 18 days out, in lat 2.9 N., long. 109.33 E. On the 19th of June we passed the ship Belt; d Will, and on the BRIGHTON UNION. Mr. D. Richards, the medical officer of the Brighton Union, applied lately for au increase of salary ; and, at a meeting of the guardians on Aug. 18th, the following report was presented by the Officers' Duties Committee. AVe give it in full, as it contains in brief a very instructive outline of the manner in which the duties of a workhouse medical officer may be increased. Your committee have had under consideration the matter referred to them, and find that Mr. Richards was appointed medical officer of the work house and industrial schools in March, 1864, the salary assigned to him for his duties connected with the workhouse being £lOO per annum, and for the schools £7O per annum, all drugs and medical ap pliances being provided by the directors and guar dians. The grounds on which Mr. Richards solicits an augmentation of his salary appear to be the great increase iu the average number of inmates of the workhouse and schools, as well as in the number of sick inmates attended daily by him, and an increase of special duties, amongst which may be enumerated-1. An outbreak of small-pox in the year 1866, during which be attended about 150 patients at the workhouse, many of whom were admitted to the wards, not as paupers, but with a view to check the spread of the disease in the localities where it originated. 2. An epidemic of cholera also in the year 1866, when the wards were thrown open to all persons attacked. At this period Mr. Richards was constant iu attendance, day and night, and no special remuneration was awarded to him for his services, as in the case of the out-door medical officers. 3. The increase in the number of insane and imbecile inmates of the workhouse. At the date of Mr. Richards's appoint pointment, the number of this class of inmates was 18 ; at the present time they amount to 32, and the medical officer is required to make quarterly re turns to the Commissioners in Lunacy of all such cases, with particulars of their mental condition etc. 4. The workhouse medical officer is now called upon to make half yearly reports to the Poor-law Board of all cases attended by him in the infirmary, and of the general state and condition of the esta blishment. 5. Increase of duty in writing pre scription lhts, the diet book, and the weekly list of sick persons wider me di cal treatment, ctc., which duty has now be come so heavy as to oblige the melical officer to pay a person to assist him in his work. 6. The increase in the number of serious cases in the infirmary and midwifery cases, the latter being in many unions and parishes cansidered extras, and paid for as such. 7. The supervision of the removal of the sick to the new workhouse, and their re-classification iu the wards assigned to them. 8. The recent epidemics of itch, whooping cough, and measles at the indus trial schools, involving the medical officer's attend ance every other day, instead of twice a week as at ordinary times. The report went on to state that the average , number of inmates of the workhouse, schools, and infirmary had increased since the year 1863, by upwards of 150 ; and also to state what was the workhouse accommodation and amount of medical Officer's salary in about twenty metropolitan and provincial parishes and unions, the amount varying from £350 to £105; and concluded thus :—Your committee, after carefully con sidering all the facts elicited during their inquiry, and having regard to the amount of salary paid to other workhouse medical officers, recom mend the board to augment Mr. Richards' salary to the extent of £5O per annum, in the following proportions—viz., £4O for the workhouse and £lO for the industrial schools, such augmentation to be subject to the approval of the Poor-law Board. The recommendation of the committee was con firmed, several of the members expressing a high opinion of the manner in which Mr. Richards per formed his duties. One gentleman (Mr. Philips) observed that, is his opinion, the supply of medi cines by the workhouse and not by the medical officer was a great improvement. It was a bad system for a parish medical officer to find medicines, especially in a large parish like Brighton. The Poor-law Board had insisted on great improvements being effected in workhouse infirmaries throughout the country, and Brighton must not lag behind. We must not be too economical in a matter of this kind. If it were possible to more quickly alleviate pain by the use of expensive medi cines, then it was right and the duty of the Board to furnish such medicines. lie wished to take the opportunity of suggesting that the board should adopt a similar system with re gard to the out-door poor to that of the indoor poor, namely, that they should furnish all medicines sup plied to them. We rejoice to find that liberality and justice both to their medical officers and to the poor pre vail in the Brighton Board of Guardians; and we would point out their conduct as an example worthy of being followed. —British Medical Journal.

Names and places " come to grief," and we presume it is such a mistake by which the New York Nation is made to write au article supposed to be inspired by W. J.

It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, iu addition to this, the average number of attendance of the desticute sick has for a considerable period averaged be tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the benevolent, as the promises of this hospital aro capable of containing several hundred more bods had the Committee the requisite funds to maintain them. Contributions aro received by their bankers, Messrs. Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Messrs. Coutts and Co.; Drummond and Co. ; Glyn and Co, ; Herries and Co. ; Ransom and Co. ; Prescott, Grote, and Co.; Smith, Payne, and- Co.; Barclay and Co. ; Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Nisbet and Co., Berners-street.; end at the Hospital, from 1U till 5. ~- I, /) 2 _ ‘ /Y /1-/L) ELEVEN MORE ARRESTS. The riotous proceedings in the Chorlton-road, which led to thirty-one arrests on Saturday, unfortunately were not entirely checked on that day. On Sunday afternoon a large crowd, with the usual seasoning of roughs, assembled in Chorlton and Stratford roads to hear Murphy or Flannigan " preach." These gentlemen, for once recog,nisin g discretion as an important part of valour, kept away. There were, however, other street preachers ready to hold forth. One speaker, who appeared in his shirt sleeves, addressed himself for nearly half an hour to a chaffing crowd in defence of Mr. Murphy, and related in great detail the particulars of his arrest in the beginning of the week. A temperance advocate succeeded, and spoke for some time, chiefly in reply to a running fire of questions with which he was assailed, but neither the Orangemen nor the water drinker succeeded in interesting more than two or three hundred out of the thousand or more onlookers who had then gathered in the square and on the adjoining road. From three to four o'clock, however, the streets became more thronged, and some degree of excite ment - was caused shortly before the latter hour by the arrival on the scene of Mr. Teare, one of Mr. Murphy's leading supporters, who was at once recognised as having taken so prominent a part in the proceedings on the pre vious afternoon. It then transpired that Mr. Murphy had left Manchester, it was said for Bolton, and that his satel lite, Mr. Flannigan, had returned to Northampton. The elements of discord were not long wanting. An Irish mob had assembled in Stevenson-square early in the afternoon, when they were addressed by their leader, who told them that the agitation which was going on was not a question of religion, but a question of nationality. Ha advised them to increase their number, and divide them selves. The mob (about 200) proceeded to Chorlton-road, but a number of police were on duty, and a telegram, having been sent to the chief detective office, a large force of police, under the direction of Captain Palin, was soon on the spot, and succeeded in suppressing , the disturbance. Several of the Irish party were armed with bludgeons, which they used pretty freely, but without, we believe, any serious consequences. In the course of the afternoon and evening eleven men, who were seen to take a prominent part in the disturbance, were apprehended and lodged in the various police-stations. A large number of police were on duty up to a late hour, and a reserve of the A, C, and D divisions was kept at the Hulme Town Hall, in readiness to be called out if necessary. ENGLISH OPINION AND AMERICAN POLITICS.' The Pall Mall Ga:etle, observing that when an ambas sador is speaking we get as near as we are ever likely to get to the view which the American people as a whole take of the English people as a whok, says the expressions of cordial sympathy used by Mr. Reverdy Johnson at Sheffield will therefore be welcome to everyone who wishes to see peace and goodwill flourish between the two countries to whom the maintenance of con stitutional freedom has been pre-eminently entrusted; and we hope that the people of the United States will feel assured that the friendly words of their representative found their full response in the breast of every English man whose sentiments are worth taking into account. Mr. Roebuck's petulant insolence deprives him of all claim to be included in this category. In one passage of Mr. Reverdy Johnson's speech he referred with great good sense to the differences of opinion which Prevailed in England during the American war " as to the causes and the justice of the struggle " in which the two sections of the Union were engaged. lie pointed out that these differences were only the reflection of similar differences entertained in the United States, and therefore that their existence among ourselves was not a matter for surprise. The good sense and modera tion which characterise this view of the subject might be considered with great advantage by some English writers. Journalists who took the side of the North throughout the civil war have a perfect right to pride themselves upon the consistency of their principles or on the accuracy of their predictions. But an important section of politicians in England took a view of the American Constitution for which they could at least plead the sanction of some of the most eminent American statesmen. According to this theory, the conditions under which the original compact was entered into by the several States implied in the last resort a right on the part of any one of them to secede from the Union if it should eventually fail to answer the purposes for which it was designed. To those who thus argued it seemed plain that in the possible exercise of this right lay the only guarantee for the maintenance of that State sovereignty which constituted the best check upon tho encroachments of a numerical majority, and consequently the best security for the permanence of constitutional freedom in the United States. Whether this view was true or false, it was quite compatible with a state of neu trality during the war, and with hearty goodwill to the American people both at that time and now that the war is over.

King Victor Emmanuel sent £l2O to the peasant who assi.tcd in saving his life whilst out shooting, and has besides granted him a pension for life. FALL or A PLATFORM.—An alarming occurrenco took place on Saturday afternoon at Wakefield, the occa. sion being the show of the West Riding Agricultural Society. A grand stand, thronged with spectators who were witnessing a brass band contest, fell without warning, and many persons were severely injured. Several gentlemen have determined on meeting the present railway difficulty by trying the experiment of jour neying from the outlying districts to the outskirts of town by the aid of velocipedes, after the fashion recently adopted in the neighbourhood of Paris. Ono expert traveller has proved the possibility of outstripping the steam horse by gliding along at the rate of 15 miles per hour.—South London Press. A correspondent of a Birmingham paper, who wrote to Mr. Bright with reference to the personal payment of rates, publishes the following extract from the hon. member's reply :—'• The retention of the payment of rates as a test was the act of the Tory Government ; we were all opposed to it. It was not in Mr. Gladstone's bill of 1866, and he was most strongly opposed to it last year, and denounced it on many occasions." When a Government once enters upon a career of despotism it is difficult for it to know where to halt. Who could ever have supposed that the master of more than one hundred legions would be compelled to make war upon pipes ? Yet such is the fact. The Figaro of last week announces that in the Quartier Latin a razzia was made on a quantity of fragile clay which had been worked into tubular shape with a bowl at the end in the form of a lantern and coloured red. The South London Chronicle says that the ladies of South London aro determined not to be behind the ago in tho assertion of their political privileges. Out of a list roughly estimated at about 500 claimants for the borough franchise in the parish of St. George, Southwark, scarcely six are of the sterner sex. If their claims be disputed, and the 494 (call them only 494) attend in person to substantiate them, what a happy task the revising barrister will have before him. ERROR IN PAYING A CHEQUE.—One of the tellers in the Clydesdale Bank, Glasgow, discovered the other evening, when balancing his accounts, a deficiency of £1,134. On further investigating the affair, he found that he had paid to a Mr. David Kirkland, cheese merchant, of the Bazaar, £1,260 instead of £126, on a cheque that had been presented. Mr. Kirkland denies having received more than £126 ; but he has, notwithstanding, been arrested and remitted to the sheriff for examination. THE REGISTRATIONS. —On Monday next, tho 14th inst., the registrations under the new Act will com mence, and must be concluded by the Bth October. On Monday, Middlesex and the City of London will open the proceedings. " Lodgers' claims "in the latter are plenti ful—about 700 ; and in Middlesex " ladies " will claim to be on the register. In Marylebone the ladies will claim " their rights "to appear on the list of voters. Lodgers and ladies will be the great feature in the revision. THE MASSACRE OF NATIVE CHRISTIANS IN JAPAN.—We read in the Nagasaki Express :—" The native Christians at Nagasaki have, it seems, at last been sentenced to suffer death, and a body of about 150 of them were, on the night of the 10th inst., hurried on board the steamer Sir Harry Parkes, to be taken out to sea and there drowned. Some fifty more, chiefly women, were to await another Japanese steamer, and suffer the same fate. Directly they heard what was in contempla. tion, the foreign consuls jointly addressed a stirring re monstrance to the governor, urging him to rescind such a cruel order, but the only reply they received was a recom mendation to mind their own business. Another nni c ti n ,. ; of the consular body for the discussion of this matter, though too late to do anything towards effecting this safety of the doomed ones on board the Sir Harry Parkes, was to be held on Saturday, the 11th July. Surely the authorities of Christian nations will, by some means er other, be able to bring it within the scope of their duties to prevent such atrocities as these. The Jesuits, we believe, claim some 40,000 convects in Japan : if the slaughter has once commenced where will it end? Ar© the whole of these converts to be sacrificed to the fury of their heathen rulers:" " ' s, 11 ❑. 211 or cal !TS ,ry Iu ) st ,ne 3n- 020 is to .date ;rig.
