SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Times eulogises the First Lord of the Admiralty. In Mr. Corry the navy has an excellent spokesman. He understands naval matters in the same sense that ad mirals and post captains understands them ; he has the traditions of office, if not of service ; he can command the attention of the House of Commons, and he speaks with the firm conviction that the first duty of us all is to uphold the British navy. So far the service ought to be satisfied with its chief and the Government with its representative. When we read the speech in which the First Lord intro duced the estimates we feel that everything has been said to reconcile us to the present system. There is a man before us who knows where every ship in commission is at the present hour, how many guns it carries, how many men form its crew, how long it has been abroad, and when it will come home. As the well-kept books of an insol vent are said to disarm the anger of creditors, so the nation may be satisfied with the knowledge that every pound sterling of its expenditure will be duly accounted for. On this head at least we may be at ease. No one can give the narrative of the Admiraty's operations with greater effect than Mr. Corry, and last night he made out what may be considered as the best case possible for the naval policy of the Administration. As to the estimates ore announcement of the First Lord will give general satisfaction. It has been the practice for a ship to go out to the West Coast of Africa and remain there during the whole period of her commission, for three or four years or longer. After a certain time the climate began to tell on the constitutions of those em ployed. It is intended for the future that no ships shall be kept on the coast of Africa for a longer period than eighteen months. The most important information which the House received related, however, to the construction of armour-clad vessels. Mr. Corry is able to boast that the amount of work accomplished for 1867-8 has nearly equalled that which had been promised. This year six armour-clad vessels are to be built, including a turreted Monitor and a ram of great size. If the Admiralty has time and money enough, it will, no doubt, provide the country with the most effective marine defences which skill and science can devise. But, what with constructions new and old, it is evident that the navy estimates, like those of the army, have a tendency to increase. Mr. Childers criticised them in as temperate a manner as could be desired. The elaborate speech of the First Lord, shewing a complete acquaintance with the principle and practice of the subject, demanded such a tone, and the homage was paid to the clearness of his explanations. But when all is said it is still the fact that there has been an increase, though a small one, on the total cost of the service, and this although there is a large diminution in the number of men employed. It may not be Mr. Corry's fortune to superintend the expenditure he proposes, nor to devise the operations of another year ; but whoever may be in office will have before him a meri torious though difficult task —that of completing the work, on which he has somewhat timidly entered, of transform ing the structure and system of the British navy. It was not so very difficult, the Daily News says, to find a good man for the bishopric of Hereford, provided there was the disposition to take him ; but there are always rea sons why the best qualified persons should not be appointed. These Mr. Disraeli appears to have set aside, and in nominating Dr. Atlay to succeed Dr. Hampden he has made a really good choice. Dr. Atlay passed through his university career with distinction, but he never set par ties in the Church quarrelling about his opinions ; he has doubtless been made a bishop on account of the success with which for the last nine years be has administered the large and important parish of Leeds. The selection of bishops on account of efficiency that has been tested in parochial charges was becoming the settled practice of Governments until the important controversies within the Church which began about nine years ago, when scholar after scholar was recommended for the highest posts in the Church by his theological publications. In an article on Napoleon's speech at Orleans, the Post declares that the guarantees of European peace depend on bases more solid than the naked protestations of princes. Napoleon does not intend to make war, for the best of all reasons—namely, that it would be madness to do so. With everything to lose and nothing to gain by an attack upon Prussia, there can be no question respecting the course which so shrewd a man as Napoleon 111. will pur sue. He will do his best to preserve that tranquillity in France which he has so long maintained, and will adopt every means in his power to promote the commercial prosperity of the country, well knowing that in the al,sence of that prosperity he can never expect the French people to submit to those burdens which the exigencies of the time in which he lives compel him to impose. The Herald points out that the speeches of the Emperor t.. 11 us nothing more than that he does not contemplate var at present. They corroborate the belief that he has no notion of going to war unless forced to it by some com bination of circumstances which he does not yet anticipate, although there are a number of people who have made up their minds that he has resolved upon war, or feels that war will be forced upon him, and only awaits a favourable iTportunity to bring on the struggle that is unavoidable. Some people may think that he might have spoken more emphatically in favour of peace, but they forget that pro testations of that kind are really worth nothing. A Sovereign or his Minister has seldom any difficulty in re •:onciling these protestations with a declaration of war following them at an interval of but a few weeks. The peaceful assurances represented their wishes and their intentions ; the warlike declarations and the hostile mea sures following them are only steps in a policy into which they have been forced by the wickedness of others. That Napoleon 111, has not made another protestation of his peaceful purposes cannot be regarded as any misfortune. But, in the presence of the stories of war told on every side, and the confident assurances given us of his bellicose intentions, it is a satisfaction that he has not seized such an opportunity to appeal to the warlike passions of France. The Telegraph notices the thoroughly unsatisfactory state of the law on court-martials. As now constituted, a court-martial is an anomaly that would not be tolerated in any legal system. It differs materially, both in essence and process, from a criminal court ; and, while it affords little protection to the private soldier, it does not effect much more for the officer, unless he happens to be rich. For instance, what can be more repugnant to all notions of fair play than the practice of permitting the prosecu ting officer, the advocate who urges the guilt of the prisoner at the trial, to give evidence against the accused, to wind up the case, and then, it may be, to adduce supplemental testimony ? On the other hand, the prisoner, nearly always an ignorant man, pleading before superiors, is left to defend himself ; and, although he may secure the services of a friend to compose a written defence, he is compelled to read it himself. Frequently the poor man can barely read anything, and he is rarely , ble to read with effect. Surely the accused might he permitted to have his answer to the charge delivered for him by some competent person. Much depends on the manner of putting a document before the court, and at present the defence is often produced in the least impres sive style. Again, the mode of taking the evidence is literally a disgrace to the age. Instead of question and answer delivered in the manner suggested by common sense, every interrogation and every reply must be written—a process which, to say the least of it, involves a painful loss of time, and must often defeat justice. When the sentence is deli vered it is not promulgated until it has been confirmed, and whether a man is declared guilty or innocent he is not the less subjected to imprisonment. There is no sort of reason why a sentence should not be promulgated at once, as it is in the civil courts and in the navy. The necessity of preserving the royal prerogative is pleaded against this reform, but the precedent of the navy chews that the custom can be revised without injury. THE LATE LORD BROUGHA3I.—The venerable 13rd's remains are to he brought to England for inter ment, and will ultimately be deposited near those of his beloved mother, in the village church near Brougham Hall. DEATH FROM SUNSTROKE.—A man named George Grafton, aged 35, who had been a soldier, but had latterly been in very bad health, was at work in a field at Worksop a day or two ago. Ile stopped to eat his dinner, and was going to resume his labour when he complained of dizziness, and falling down, he expired immediately. It was the opinion of the medical man who was called to his assistance that death was the result of sunstroke. FEMALE MEDICAL PR.ICTITIONERS.—At the recent Arts Examination at Apothecaries' Hall, Mrs. Isabel Thorne presented herself in company with sixty-six gentle men. Out of the sixty-seven candidates forty-seven passed. Mrs. Thorne came out among the first six, and her papers were so excellent that the usual gird voce examination was dispensed with. Last May Mrs. Thorne finished the curriculum at the Ladies' Medical College in Fitzroy-square by carrying off double first honours in the medical and obstetrical classes. DEATH OF GENERAL SIR GEORGE W. PATY, K.C.8., K.H.—We have to record the death of tin above-named general, colonel of the 70th (the Surrey) Regiment of Foot, in his 80th year. The late general entered the army in 1804, as ensign in the 32nd Foot, and served in the expedition to Copenhagen in 1807. He after- wards served in the Peninsula from 1811 to the end of that war in 1814, including the siege and capture of Badajos, battle of Salamanca, retreat from Madrid to Burgos, battles of Vittoria, the Pyrenees, and -nyelle, battles of the Zrive on December 0, 10, 11, 12, and 13, 1813, besides various minor affairs. He had received the silver war ;hrtial with 4 ; 4c cl43P4t LAW AND POLICE. RAI7E:TING IN ' HEITIELD.—At the Sheffield Town Hall Joseph Bradshaw was cnarged with being in the Young Grinding Wheel, Forge-lane, Sheffield, for the purpose of committing a felony or rattening. On Monday night, the 4th inst., three men were seen to lift the prisoner through a window into the wheel, and on the police following he was found in a hull rented by two men named Morton and Sharpe. He was sitting near the fireplace, pretending to be asleep, and by his side were some wheel-bands rolled up. Morton and Sharpe were behind in their con tributions to the Union. Bradshaw was on the "box," and the conclusion was at once arrived at that he had been " commissioned" to fetch the bands. Morton now came forward and gave the following perfectly unexpected evi dence. He said that both his and Sharpe's bands required greasing, and that they themselves had taken them off the wheels, rolled them up, and left them where they were found by the police. The magistrates were of opinion that the prisoner was in the wheel for the purpose of com mitting a felony, but after this evidence they felt it unable to convict him. He was therefore sentenced to three months' imprisonment for being on the premises for an unlawful purpose. NEGLECTING TO MAKE RETERNS OF INCOME.—In the Court of Exchequer, the case of the Attorney-General v. Stevens was heard. It was an information filed against the defendant for failing to make periodical returns of his income. The defendant, a printer, made a claim for com pensation for the removal of his business, and the Com missioners of Income Tax deemed the returns made by him insufficient. As the defendant was perfectly willing that his books should be. examined, a verdict for two penalties in £5O each was taken as a matter of form. ACTION FOR INJURIES.—In the same court, an attorney's clerk named Oldham sued an omnibus driver named Smith for injuries received when getting into his omnibus. It seemed that before he had fairly done so the conductor shut the door, and the plaintiff's thumb was much injured. It was maintained that the injuries would not have been occasioned had the plaintiff exercised an ordi nary amount of care in getting into the 'bug. The jury took this view of the case, and gave a verdict for the defendant. THE QUESTION OF MARHIAGE FEES. —ln the Exchequer Chamber judgment was given in the case of Bryant v. Foot. The defendant, a rector in Buckinghamshire, claimed 10s. for himself and ss. for his clerk, as fees upon any marriage solemnised in his parish. The plain tiff asked that his fees might be returned, as they were illegal. The case was argued in the Court of Queen's Bench, when the judges, with one dissentient, gave judg ment for the plaintiff. The Lord Chief Baron now delivered the judgment of the majority of the court. It appeared, he said, that from 1804 to 1354 these fees had been paid, and the question was whether they should hold that the claim was made out by prescription, and they were of opinion that the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench should be affirmed. In order to shew that a claim to such a fee was legal, it must be shown to have existed from the time of legal memory (Richard I.) The payment must have been made from time immemorial, and it must have been the same amount of money ; and it was impossible to sup pose that in the time of Richard I. such a fee as 13s. was charged. A QUESTION OF TOLLAGE. — In the Court of Error the case of Lawrence v. Flitch was heard. This was an action brought by the plaintiff as the lessee of the street tolls of the manor of Cheltenham, to recover from the defendant tolls due on divers goods exposed for sale in the public streets and places in the manor and town of Chel tenham. The defendant pleaded not guilty, and said that the plaintiff was not lessee and that no such tolls were due. The case came on for trial at the Gloucester Assizes, when a verdict was entered for the plaintiff subject to the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench Tirol a special case. The special case was afterwards argued in the Court of Queen's Bench, when the court gave judgment for the defendant. Then there was a writ of error, and, after argument in this court, time was taken for conside ration. On Monday morning the Lord Chief Baron delivered the judgment of the court, and it was considered that the toll was properly demandable and payable, and that the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench must be reversed.—.Tudgment reversed. A MOUNTAIN SLTP. —An extensive mountain slip took place a few clays Lark in the village of Ober bilten, canton of Glarus, in Switzerland. The inhabitants, warned in time, had left their houses, which, for the most part, have been overwhelmed. Large masses continue to fall, accompanied by loud reports. LEAP DOWN A COAL PIT.—A girl named Mary Cartwright, daughter of a miner at Bloxwich, having been beaten by her brother, rushed out of the house and leaped down the shaft of a pit at Sott's Hole. Assistance was immediately procured, and the girl brought out and con veyed to her home, where she was examined by a surgeon. who ascertained that she had sustained serious injury of the spine. The depth of the shaft is sixty-six feet. DEATH EY LIGIITNING.—A communication from Edinburgh, dated Monday, says :—" To-day, during a thunderstorm, a man named Donald Mathison, about 30 years of age, was killed by lightning while walking on the Radical-road, Salisbury Crags. One of the wit nesses of the event saw a flash of forked lightning come down upon the unfortunate man, who raised his hand to the back of his head and fell to the ground. His whiskers and hair on the upper part of his head were burnt. His coat, trousers, boots, and stockings were also burnt and torn." The annual meeting of the British and Foreign School Society was held on Monday, at the Borough-road school. The previous examination of the children took place in the presence of Lord Lyveden and many other friends of the institution. It had been announced that the chair at the meeting would be taken by Earl Russell, but his lordship was prevented from attending by indisposition. A note from the countess to the secretary, dated Pem broke Lodge, Richmond, in which she expre3sed, on the noble earl's behalf and her own, deep regret that for the reason before mentioned they could not be present, was read to the meeting. It seems not improbable that the noble defend ant in the somewhat too conspicuous snit of D'Alteyrac v. Willoughby will before long be involved in a yet more difficult case. In 1853, under the "Drummond Restitu tion Act," Lord Perth regained his ancient family honours ; and it is rumoured that lie contemplates an at tempt to substantiate his claim to the family estates now in the possession of Lord Willoughby d'Eresby, in right of his mother. Lord Perth, it is said, has hitherto re frained from prosecuting his claims from feelings of per sonal regard for the late Lord and Lady Willoughby. The Lincolnshire and other property enjoyed by Lord Wil loughby as representative of the Duke of Ancaster would not of course be affected by the proceedings in question. — Telegraph. Mn. VARGAS.—The Whip has an office. He has or seven clerks and scouts. He has a private printing press. But, above all, he has one responsible deputy, who is the real W hip, whose efficiency is the basis of every majority, upon whom he depends, who in reality is what u - iolonel Taylor or Mr. Glyn only seems. The present !wider of this post has held it, if we mistake not, between thirty and forty years. It is not a highly-paid office. Yet upon the diligence and perfection with which its duties are fulfilled depends perpetually the fate of Ministries. Understand, the Whip does not, like the Patronage Secre tary of the Treasury, go in and out of_ office with Minis ters. The Whip who drummed up sixty too few for Mr. Disraeli this year is the same who the year before last drummed up eleven too few for Mr. Gladstone. He has no political feelings, or chews none. His one object in life is to get a good majority for whatever Government is At night he is at the Hoes ; in the daytime he is at us office in King-street. Thence proceed almost every day circulars to every supporter of the Government, telling them what there is to watch for in the Government interest. Besides these circulars there are many special messages on which he has to send his scouts. In fact ; there are few places in London where more business is (lone or done quicker or at greater pressure than in this little King-street office.—Court Journal. AN INSANE GYMNAST. —Thomas Hanlon, one of the Hanlon Brothers, gymnasts, had a fall lately at Louisville, from which he became insane. Arriving at Harrisburg on the 3rd ult., he attempted to kill two boys :ad to drown himself, and was put in gaol for safety. The ;aoler brought him his dinner on a pewter plate, which he :eized, broke in two pieces, and attempted to cut his throat with the rough edges. Fearing he would hang himself in some iron hooks, he was removed to a cell lined with , earls and containing no furniture. On the floor were ren heating-pipes, with a large brass nut projecting at a ~ i nture. When left alone in this cell he attempted to ! ,, rnmit suicide by a method of which none but a gymnast vould think. He Trap g into the air about five feet, and, urning, came down with his head on the brass pro• ~ction. He repeated this terrible feat several times, ud when assistance arrived the floor was covered ,vith blood. Six strong men were unable to hold him. Ie threw them off with the greatest ease, drove them out .f the cells and cut one over the eye and broke another's nose. When his cell was cleared he repeated his horrible performance. His scalp was cut in a number of places, an.l hung over his forehead and face. Hanlon's strength now began to wane from great loss of blood. The physicians who arrived administered chloroform; he was bound down to a bench, handcuffed, and his wounds dressed, He is since dead. READERS. A great deal is written from time to time about public speaking, preaching, and lectur ing—how the voice should be modulated, the words expressed, the composition put together. How boldness should never swell into effron tery, nor gentleness invite the contempt of a rough, surging crowd. How in the pulpit the Word of God should be handled as some thing sacred and almost awful, and how the eloquence of the preacher should principally show itself in impressing the audience that ho is the minister—the loving, earnest minister of a God eloquent in deed as well as word ; of a Christ, preaching to the world from the wooden pulpit of the Cross. What books have not been written, giving rules how to make men eloquent, as if by the complication of a mechanical process, on the supppsition that a bashful youth could carry in his mind, and go through a most complicated process of in flections, pauses, modulations, and gesticula tions, when he is ready to sink into the earth in fear of the dread blank which may present itself to his mental vision when the whole of what he has learnt by heart, with painful effort, shifts away from him in a moment, and leaves him with his hands raised to the heavens, a dumb orator ! Books full of rules can do little for a man who has felt the sensation of coming suddenly to a dead lock just as he is mounting the last step of a climax. Coming events cast their shadows before. And, indeed, little under any circumstances can be done by mere trick or acting. Speaking is from the heart ; eloquence is the full flower of a splendid mind —the glancing expression of the highest gift of the creature as it is manifested to his fellow man. Men may write books, men may read them—they may be some help—but a man can no more pick up the gift of rousing hearts and bending stubborn minds by Whately or by Blair, than a poet can be made to order, or an understanding purchased for a sum of money. Enough has been written—possibly too much —of these things ; but there is a point on which very many remarks are not offered to the public. Men not only have to speak in public, but they have to read in public too. The study of the habits of that species of " animal rationale" is an interesting one. It far surpasses in in terest, and is more curious by far, than many other studies in natural history to which people dedicate much time. The very way the book is opened, or the place is found, has its sig nificance. Some of these various creatures seize the volume with avidity, hold it straight on its back, open it suddenly in the middle, and then, with a wet finger, violently turn over the leaves, giving the finger a refresher.at the turn of every leaf. Then they take a sudden start, and turn over rapidly to the left, then the right again, till at length their heads all at once drop, like a lark to its nest, on the desired spot. There is another kind which re - ads the title first, then looks at the back, then the table of contents, and after turning down the leaves in different directions, drops the book alto gether. Others have an instinct to pitch on the place almost at once, and with a long finger and serious face, with a frown of the forehead, and a pout of the lips, follow down the printed lines quickly, as if reading with the finger, turning over with a jerk, and down the next side, till the journey seems over, and the finger leaves its mark, and the mind begins bo work. Some have an instinct just in the other way. They can never find the place. Sometimes because they have the wrong volume, some times because they have forgotten what they are in search of, sometimes because they are too eager, and so the leaves are twisted back ward and forward, increasing in velocity in proportion to the eagerness of the reader and the distance from the attainment of the desired result. Others don't care to find any place at all. They contentedly settle down where the book opens, and read a bit here and a bit there, and that, often enough, without knowing who is the author, what is the title, and on what subject it is written. Some care for the pre face, others love the index, a few the name of the publisher, and the general idea of what it is about. These are curious beings, these readers. book s aThereof reachingareasmoannye.

This might be called the power of readi ng w ith out an "immediate in tuition." Others, again, are very different ; they seem angry all the time, and rip the volume open with a paper knife, as if it had done some irreparable injury to the family. Who has not seen that species which wears spectacles on the forehead, and buries nose, mouth, and chin in the pages, and in place of • moving the eyes along the lines, move the e head quietly from • etly from left to right, and back a with jerk, and so on, as if done by a trick made of wire and springs? Others, elbows on table, hands lost in their hair, frown down on the unhappy volume as if they had been hunting it for days, had at length overtaken it, and were looking with angry triumph on the helplessness of their victim. Others, cross-legged, hold the book in one hand and lick a paper-cutter in the other, and suddenly every now and then make a mark of admiration on the margin, or put " nonsense," " folly," or " fool " to what they disagree to, and three black marks of the pencil wherever they are pleased, or not too lazy to show their approbation. Others, once more, no sooner get a book into their hand than " they are off in a moment ;" the book falls, a snore, a jerk of the neck back wards and forwards ; a stare of the eyes ; a sullen picking up of the volume, and a repe tition of the same, till the reader in im patience throws the book down, gapes, and goes away. Some read to get to sleep—others read to keep awake ; some read to drive away thought—others read to suggest thought. Some read on the principle of the tabula rasa, beginning without an impression in their minds, and ending with as perfect a blank as they began with. Some read, and master the book—those are men with principles in their brains—men who have anchor and ballast, and don't carry too much sail. Others read and are run away with—men who are like light craft surged and swayed, blown and tossed by every wind and every wave. They believe in the last book they have stead, and come out amongst their friends with some clever argu ment, as they think—a ripple from the shallow of an empty brain, thrown into forcible lan guage, and put with point—and imagine that they are beginning to set the small world on fire in which they live ; the small world all the while (it could be seen in the corner of their eyes) knowing well enough out of what pan the flash was stolen. Others read, looking out for " principles," and summing up the book as they read, putting it under some one cate gory before conceived, and gibbeting the author or holdinr , him up to glory, according as he reaches or deflects from their standard of right. Men who read to amuse themselves are passive readers—are operated on by the emo tions thrown into print, to be melted into their , own mind and to set it in warmth of motion THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 12, 1868. and a glow of thought. Men who read to learn are active readers; they gripe the subject with a strong intelligence, and master it with an effort and make it their own by dint of stress, the principles, or facts, or views, put forth. The various kinds of readers can be judged almost by the way they look at a book —certainly by the way they handle it. The pleasure reader has no love or reverence for the book. He takes it up as he does his glass, and throws it down ; were it not contrary to cus tom, he would as soon throw it under the table as cast it upon the table. He is a mere pleasure animal, and he eats and drinks and gormandizes upon these mental foods, but is both too selfish and too gifted with worldly common-sense to care for the food except to cat it. If he takes up a book by chance which he does not understand, he flings it down as if it had offered him a personal affront. He is a coarse kind of animal enough, and we «ill not touch him any more. The study-reader loves and reverences the books of all gco 1 men. He looks upon books as treasure-stcre; of mental labour. He sees in them a man's mind, bound in calf or board, a folio, quarto or octavo, as the case may be. He touches them, carries them about, takes them down, and puts them back, more as if they were livinc , creatures than dead paper and ink. His eyes look tenderly on them, and if they be the works of great men, master minds which have 'gone away, minds which have left a deep, broad mark on the face of humanity, he could kiss their pages, and sigh quiet gratitude and love to them, and treat them as the most pre cious monuments of the most noble part of noble men. He knows that a book is a mark of mental travail, and that the dead words contain thoughts that once lived in a splendid mind. He loves to think their thoughts, and to fashion his own intelligence into the same conceptions which they indulged in, and to become participant of the brightest flashes or deepest colouring of their varied powers. So far for readers at present. We have only made a few points upon readers who read to themselves. There is another class full of curious ways and habits, which read to others. Of them we must say a word at another time. How full of lif e —of manifestations of life, each his special way—th e se classes are ! Man is many-sided, and on all sides his soul peeps out, and says—l am great, or lam vile; lam generous, or I am selfish; I am vain, or I am lowly.—Westininster Gazette. 7IIE STATE TRIAL. (From the Anglo-American Times.) When we wrote last Friday we little anticipated having again to write in ignorance of the result. of the Impeachment trial. What we imagined proves to be the cause ; the Managers gained their point, and they are drowning the Senate and deluging Washington with the flood of their eloquence. The: Hon. THAD. STEVENS earnestly desires to support. the Article of Impeachment, which he insisted upon adding to the charges, and for this he craved an hour, alleging that " without some explanation of that Article his position before the country would be truly awful." The hour turns into a day, and the time of the Assembly is wasted in needless argu ments, which convince no one and do no earthly good. The only telegram this week referring to the trial was dated Washington, May 2. The Mana gers had finished, and on Monday, the 4th instant, Mr. BINGHAM was to close. No intelligence has reached us of the time taken by this Manager ; but we will be much surprised if the 'verdict is not known in Europe by the time we go to press. A tremendous pressure has been brought to bear upon the doubtful Senators, COLE, FRELINGHUYSEN, FESSENDEN, FOWLER, SPRAGUE, GRIMES, and CORBETT, with three or four more whose spectacles are so slightly coloured that all objects may not be seen with the Republican hue. To get up a little of the necessary dye, to wipe the eye, and clear the sight of the oblique-visioned, Republicans of the highest influence from many States, friends, home companions, and relatives have been hurried up to Washington, and the doubtful are subjected to a style of treatment that might make them sigh for the peace and quiet of the grave. On one side are imploring eyes ; on the other, averted heads ; before the Senator is an impassioned friend, picturing the ruin of the country ; behind him an influential 112 publican whispering in his ear the great rewards that await the 'aonest and manly discharge of his duty. It is now stated, with what truth we know not, that the Senators will vote by ballot. If so, those who go against what is pro nounced to be the party interest, will be unknown, and the threats and coaxings alike defeated. Mr. BOUTWELL'S speech occupied the greater part of two days ; Judge NELSON'S was even longer ; General LOGAN'S fills nearly 21 closely printed columns of the Globe, and we may judge of the length of the others by the time occupied. The order in which both Managers and counsel were to speak was pre viously arranged, and we believe it has been strictly adhered to. Mr. Bo unvELL's address was delivered from printed slips, Judge NELSON'S was for the most part extempore, being merely aided by a few manuscript notes. It was mainly devoted to the personal character of Mr. JOHNSON, and the counsel makes a strong point of his unfaltering defence of the Union when other Southern Senators were false to their allegiance, and what he had suffered for his loyalty. Backing this argument, the Democratic papers reprint an order of 1862 by a court in Knox ville, Tennessee, headed "Confederate States of America," &c., confiscating "the estate of ANDREW JOHNSON, an alien enemy." They contrast how he adhered unfalteringly to his Union principles in 1862, and how he is treated by the Unionists in 1868. There is a remark in Mr. BOUTWELL'S ad dress that is sot an inapt answer :—" He has one rule of life : he attempts to use every man of power, cipacity, or influence within his reach ; he attacks to destroy all who will not become his instruments, and all who become his instruments are destroyed in the use." In truth, ANDREW JOHNSON loves opposition ; he is essentially pugnacious ; if he found men around him good he would be bad in opposition, and we are half inclined to believe if he found all men around him bad, he would be good out of pure devilment. He has ability enough to make his op position felt ; and a man of his character could scarcely fail to be a strong and unscrupulous oppo nent of the Confederacy when most around him were its supporters, and go over to the rebels when those around him were loyal. The PRESIDENT de sired Judge NELSON to speak, although this was opposed by his counsel. A body like the Senate is not to be influenced by Tennessee stump orators, and the able lawyers employed in the defence were fully aware of the fact. Mr. NELSON endeavoured, by impassioned gesture, to make up for his lack of arogud haveulinent,atbideenn a mostodoubt, in a field gathering, he w effective speaker. But it is considered on the whole that his speech was a mistake. One portion of it excited much interest, and Mr. CHASE was narrowly scanned to see the effect on him. This was when he appealed to the Chief Justice to charge the Senate upon the law treating the Assembly merely as a jury, and assert ing his own position as a Judge. Not much is ex pected from General LOGAN'S address, but all heartily congratulate themselves on the absence of General BUTLER. The self-assertion of that gen tleman is one of the most remarkable facts elicited by the trial. The man who could not take Fort Fisher stood alone on the crowded fl ior in the highest national assembly, and bullied Judge, jury, counsel, and witnesses, overcoming alike all efforts of suppression by friend or foe. He is a singular character this General BUTLER, and is rapidly making a biography for the amusement and instruction of posterity. Sur rounded by men of far greater talent and far more legal knowledge, of a record pure and undefiled, it is amazing to see what audacity can effect in giving prominence to one individual. That the PRESIDENT will be convicted is the general impression. What we have all along said is what we have now to say, that ANDREW JOHNSON undoubtedly broke a law, and the Senate will merely have to decide whether it was with a guilty intent, in which they cannot fail to be influenced by expediency, and as four fifths of the Assembly believe it to be necessary for the peace and wellbeing of the country that he should be removed, and as they can legally remove I him, they certainly will do so. The Cabinet by their acts show that they also bold this impression. As we last week stated, Mr. SEWARD is sending off his property to Auburn, and forty boxes have already been dispatched. Mr. WELLES is dispatch ing his goods to Connecticut, and Mr. M‘CtlLLocx is following his example. Certificates of characters are the documents on which the Ministers are at preaent engaged for their weeping adherents now about to be thrown on the world, but the most significantis Mr. JOHNSON'S own course, who has not only packed off some of his baggage to New York, but has chalked . out for himself another tour! and if Congress caught it in the first, what will ANDREW JOHNSON say when shaken clear of all restraint. We trust, however, that nothing will induce him to use the great posi tion he has held as a means of raising scandal, which could only have the effect of degrading him self and confirming the justice of the action of Congress. We may here notice that an Appro priation Bill passed by the House for $lO,OOO ex penses of Impeachment, and $lO,OOO for the mis cellaneous expenses of the Senate, sanctione I by the Senate, has gone to the PRESIDENT for ap proval, and will perhaps be the last which will come before ANDREW JOHNSON, as President. His withdrawal of the Hon. TllomAs EWING's name, as Secretary of War, and his substitution of General Sc TIOFIELD'S, has been variously interpreted. Many consider it as an offer of the " olive branch" to the Senate, intended to smooth away the difficulties that would arise in a verdict of not guilty. Seim- FIELD, who commands the first military district, is an officer of high character, well thought of by all parties, and with no very pronounced political opi nions. In case the Senate's verdict, contrary to expectation, should declare the PRESIDENT not guilty, and record an act of political virtue as yet unknown to the world, this appointment will re move LORENZO THOMAS and EDWIN STANTON, the chief stumbling-blocks, and if Mr. JOHNSON be not, in truth, mad, allow matters to run smoothly for the remainder of his term. It appears to us to be the only act dictated by good sense, which has lately marked the PRESIDENT'S Administration. The news last night was that the Senate Court agreed on Thursday to adjourn till Monday, and to take the final vote on Tuesday. This settles the question of time, and we now know when to expect the Verdict. 7112 MORAL OF THE DICKENS BANQUET (From Me Anglo-American 2 Imes.) " Bill, who's that queer an ?" '' I don't know; never saw en like that afore." " Let's 'eave 'alf a brick at 'lin!" Ignorance is the power that sends the baked clay flying At., the stranger, for it begets prejudice, which begets hostility. Irishmen in California or Melbourne, mobbing industrious Chinese labourers, are instances, and so are the Chinese themselves when hedging round a European factory, and not permitting the " foreign devils" to cross the barrier. A Turkish rabble at the heels of a Frank -in Constantinople throwing stones and curses at the Christian dog is another example. To the mind of a handsome stranger an unpleasant question is suggested when he sees an alarmingly ugly child running in fright from him. He flattered himself that he was rather a pleasant, attractive looking fellow, and judging from appearances the circle of the little imp's relatives could not be one of beauty ; but in that lies the cause. The black woolly-headed cub flies from what. is strange, illus trating in its untrained nature an impulse which un derlies the better expressed and more courtly pre judices of the refined. Because a thing is strange it is disagreeable, and hence arises the feeling that impelled the little imp to run, or the English clod "to 'cave 'alf a brick." If a brogue, the use of un accustomed words, or even an uncommon emphasis on certain syllables, is enough to generate prejudice, the different air, manner, mode of thought and of expression, which arise even among kindred widely separated, and in wholly changed circumstances, cannot fail to cause mutual repulsion and dislike. The only cure is frequent intercourse, which not only makes what is strange familiar, but assimilates, thus in a twofold way, destroying prejudice. When DICKENS, 27 years ago, first landed- in America, he in common with his cetiatryinen knew far less of Americans than is known now, and Americans knew less of them. The dissimilarity between the Old World and the New was infinitely more marked, and even DickENs, with all his genius and discern ment, gave way to the impulse of ' , ‘-!eaving more than 'alf a brick" at the strangers. But with riper years, greater knowledge, and better opportunities, he has both discovered and corrected his mistake. Perhaps he truthfully caricatured while not under standing what he saw, influenced by the dislike generated from the unfamiliarity of all around. A second visit has enabled him better to judge of the structure whose builders he had satirised a quarter of a century before. Now he sees the value and beauty of the edifice, and learns that those engaged in the work, however disagreeably to him soiled with lime and mortar, had been well and usefully employed. Now also he learns that with more leisure to wash and be clean, in spite of the traces of work so offensive to his European training, the labourers not only display some remarkably fine qualities, but a taste and culture of which he had no previous conception. When people commence an acquaintance by heaving bricks at each other, they do not pursue the best means of overcoming a natural antipathy, but, on the con trary, their acts tend to confirm the dislike. In dealing with each other the kindred nations should ma ke ample allowance for the prejudice to which we have alluded. Being the child of ignorance, it is most strongly developed iu the gross and vulgar, an d people must always expect to meet on their travels a large number of such. It is remarkable characteris•ic of those most strongly imbued with prejudice that instead of endeavouring to learn any thing of the object against which they are thus biassed, they do exactly the reverse, putting aside all means of information and avoiding all contact. In one breath they harshly criticise and in the next scorn and refuse all knowledge. " Strange, indeed, is it to hear confident and disagreeable criticisms on the American character and national spirit by per sons who have never crossed the Atlantic, and had made up their minds not to do so on any account." These are the words of the Times in commenting on the great banquet given by the members of the American Press to CHARLES DICKENS in New York. It is marvellous to see the rapidity with which the prejudice between the kindred nations is break ing down, and it is gratifying to us to think that in our small way we have helped in this good work. That dinner was the happiest expression of the change yet given. The speeches far surpassed in eloquence those ordinarily heard on such occasions. Mr. DICKENS'S was one that well became the great author and the great nation for whom he spoke. W hat a recantation was conveyed in these words—" Wher ever I have been in the smallest places equally with the largest, I have been received with unsurpass able politeness, delicacy, and sweet temper, hospi tality, consideration, and with unsurpassable re spect for the privacy daily enforced upon me by the nature of my avocation here and the state of my health." He announced his intention to append this statement to every future copy of his two books referring to America, "as an act of plain justice and honour." In speaking of Americans in Eng land, he alluded to the absurdity of supposing they were regarded as foreigners ; and, singular as may appear, it is the truth of this which has tended so much 6 shirpea the prejudice which doubtless has existed. Those who speak a different language can not arouse the prejudice caused by pronunciation, expression, and mode of thought. Men whose lan guage totally differs are regarded as foreigners, and a prejudiced Jolts BINA, treats such with simple contempt. In the A'nerican, however, he meets a man who asserts his superiority in BULL'S own lan guage, and JOHN is curried down against the grain. The narrowness that makes the colliers of Lanca shire actually speak of those brought into their county from Staffordshire as foreigners—that sepa rated Great Britain into the three strongly-marked divisionsof English, Scotch, and Welsh, is not likely in the first instance to be soothed by a contact with those who in the mother tongue boldly assert the decreptitude of the old country, and the vigour, youth, and manhood of the new. But if the kin ship—so long as the peoples were strange to each other added to, rather than detracted from the dislike—as their minds opened and their views grew broader, it helped to facilitate a change. There is no doubt that more just notions of the work allotted to the Anglo-Saxon race are taking hold of the minds of the English-speaking peoples. Rivalry and hostility between the race in America and in Europe is unspeakable folly, and both sections are beginning to recognize this truth. They see that everything is to be gained by union —that every thing is to be lost by enmity—that they have no clashing interests whatever, but, on the contrary, that their interests are identical. In DICKENS'S words —"lt rests with them jointly to uphold the grea'. Anglo-Saxon race." It would be vastly more im portant if all nations could be joined in the. brother hood ; but this cannot be, at least, for centuries. Failing that, the next best thing is to join i i a brotherhood the two most powerful nations—the one with a great history past, the other with a great history to come. Not only can this be accomplished, but we maintain that the natural tendency is towards such a fusion. Material circumstances have immensely favoured it within the period of Dic ENs's visits. The telegraph and steam bring the conntri2s together. Thought is interchanged instantane ously, and persons and property travel so rapidly, that thousands of miles, in effect, dwindle to hun dreds. What men have to du is to suppress preju dice, and to get the masses to regard that man as an enemy to society, who endeavours to sow the seeds of discord. If Irishmen could but be conciliated, if they would but cease to give expression to their senseless hate, the barrier would be broken down, and the most desirable object on earth achieved, Hitherto we have had numerous leaders of English thought playing into the bands of the bitterest enemies of their country, and alienating that great people who, themselves following suit, have reacted on the mother country, both giving way to that aimless dislike, which is but increased by the brick-heaving process. If there be one trait more marked than another in the American mind, it is a generosity which is absolutely noble in its forgiveness. This is the feeling which seems most strongly to have affected CHARLES DICKENS, who has been in truth overpowered by it ; and it receives a further illustration, in the way Americans are in clined to forget England's conduct during the civil war. What makes it the more difficult to sink that conduct in oblivion is the impossibility of showing to the average Englishman what the injury was . if he really could understand and see it from the American stand-point, he would lose no time in making reparation, but in his blindness—he is un just. Mr. GREELEY was happy and graceful in his remarks ; Mr. RAYMOND, impressive in his elo quence; Mr. Hunßuirr, genial in his humour ; Mr. NORTON eloquent and just, in touching on the rela tions between England and America; but the speech of the evening was that of Mr. G. W. CURTIS, who gave the most forcible expression to the feeling of his class —that is, of educated Amercans ; and when he sat down Mr. DICKENS whispered to the person next him, "he is one of the best, if not the very best, speaker I ever heard." Unfortunately, there were many prominent and influential journalists absent, but this was chiefly due to local differences and jealousies. Even to the ship the goodwill of the people followed him. The Russia was crowded with the most eminent Americans ; Mr. DICKENS'S state-room was adorned with flowers, ladies carrying beautiful bouquets met him, and the vessel got under way amidst the cheers and the kindly farewells of the most distinguished in the United States. Yet, a little more than six months ago, a near relation of Mr. DOLBY expressed his anxiety about the re ception DICKENS would meet if he trusted himself in America, and his pioneer was sent forward to learn if the numerous invitations he had received were wishes merely of a section, which might be overwhelmed by a national sentiment of unforgiven injury. Even the doubt showed how much he had to learn, and he frankly confessed how complete in her generosity and amiability had been COLUM BIA'S conquest. AMERICAN MARKETS. (F'roin Jfessrs.Belding, Keith, and Co.'s Circular.) NEW YORK, April 2L The Financial Chronicle of this date, refers to tho mar kets as follows: THE MONEY MARKET.—T Ito bank statement of last Saturday was loss favourable than was expected. The deposits showed an increase of $1,080,613, but this was set off by an addition of 91,881,000 to the loans and discounts ; while the legal tenders exhibited a loss of $1,118,000. These figures, however, rather reflected the course of affairs at the beginning of the week, when the Treasury was selling gold to a largo extent, than the position at the close. The fact of the Treasury having suspended its sales of coin for a few days, and its showing more disposition to buy Seven-Thirties, had a favourable effect upon confi dence among the banks, and indeed a freer use of balances. Moreover, there is a steady flow of remittances froni the interior, so that the banks are now steadily gaining in funds. The stringency iu money has now spent its force, and call borrowers find no difficulty in supplying their wants at 7 per cent. Discounts also are easier. Thera is not any large amount of first class paper on the market, the merchants being apparently intent upon a short time business ; and the banks are accommodating their mercantile customers tune freely, and are also buying a moderato amount of paper from the dealers. On the street, prime names pass at 7 to 9 per cent.; second rate names are little waLted, and can b 3 negotiated only at high rates, for there is not a healthy confidence in any except the best-known names. One year ago prime commercial paper was current at to 7 per cent. ; and call loans ranged at 4 to 6 per cont. The following are the quotations for loans of various lasses : Per cent. Call loans ... 7 to Loans on bonds and mortgages to 7 Prime endorsed bills, two months ... 7to Good endorsed bills, three and four months ... 7 to 9 Ditto single names ... to 10 Lower grades ... —to UNITED STATES SECURITIES.—The upward tendency in Governments noted in our last has been continued this week, and prices are now about 1 per cent. above our last quotations. As usual at this season there is a steady in vestment demand ; and the payment of the May coupons amounting to $25,000,000 raises the expectation of a de mand for the employment of interest. Moreover, the grow ing ease in the money market makes it easier for dealers to carry a full stock of securities; while the purchases of Seven-Thirties by the Government diminishes the supply on the market. The upward tendency in gold has caused a firmer market for the exportable bonds ; on Wednesday the price of gold touched 1401, and Sixty-Twos rose to 1121 in sympathy ; but to-day, gold being 11 lower, the bonds have fallen to 111. It is not generally anticipated that any important amount of bonds will be sent to Europe, in return for coupons, the market there being ap parently well supplied ; this, however, must very much depend upon the price of gold. There has been some talk of a probability that the Se cretary of the Treasury will issue the balance of a few millions of Ten-Forties in exchange for Seven-Thirties; but, so far as we can learn, there is no official authority for the proposal. It is supposed, apparently on good authority, that the Treasury will soon be prepared to offer a Five-Twenty bond dated July 1, 1868, in exchange for the outstanding balance of Seven-Thirty notes. At present Governments range 1 to 4 per cent. above those of a year ago, when money was easier than now, as will appear from the following comparison : April 24, 1868. April 26, 1867. United States 6's, 1881 113 ... 1091 77 5-20 s, 1862 ... 111 ,1 ... 110 17 5-20 s, 1864 ... 11 0 ... 1081 77 5-20 s, 1865 ... 110 1 ... 1 09 77 5-20 s, 1865, new 1 08 * ... 10 71 „ 10-40 s 10 2 4 ... 984 17 7-30 s, 2d issuo 107 ... 1054 The following are the closing prices of leading securi ties, compared with preceding weeks: — Apr. 9 Apr. 17 Apr. 24 U.

S. 7-30's 3rd Series RAILROAD AND MISCELLANEOUS STOCKS.—The passage of the Erie Bill by the L?gislature and its becoming law by the Governor's signature has been the controlling event of the week in the stock mark-t. The event appears to have been construed as favourable to the Vanderbilt interest, although the act in some particulars appears to have been directly framed for crippling his schemes. New York Central has advanced from 112 f, our last quotation, to 125 yesterday ; Hudson River from 125 to 135, and Cleveland and Toledo from 1011 to 104. Eris has not ad vanced proportionately ; the facts of a difference of policy among the directors, and of the litigation being continued, having a tendency to keep the stock unsettled. The price has fluctuated between 681 and 72. The fact of New York Central being very largely oversold, while it wag known that Mr Vanderbilt's friends held most of the stock, has no doubt contributed very materially to the :Id- Vance in its price. The general list has been more active and higher, in sympathy with the rise in the stocks alluded to. Bec k Island has fluctuated somewhat widely, first of all advanc ing to 95 in consequence of a decision which virtually re moves the injunction upon the directors as to the use 0f the funds, and then falling back 6 to 7 per cent. upon sub sequent legal proceedings. A variety of reports are in circulation as to the position of Erie affairs, and it is difficult to ascertain the truth as to the situation; from all wo are able to learn, however, the following are probably about the facts of the case: Drew appears to have come to an understanding wi th Mr. Vanderbilt with respect to • a future joint policy In pursuance of this policy, whatever it may be, M r ' Drew recently attempted to effect the removal of the Eri e funds from a bank in Jersey City to New York, under his own custody. Mr. Eldridge, becoming aware of the at tempt, caused the funds to be detained, and construing li r ' Drew's act into a course of co-operaron with the Vander bilt int . ?,rest, the friends of President Eldridge combined for the purpose of displacing Mr. Drew from the treasurer ship and substituting Mr. Jay Gould. At a meeting of the directors held yesterday, the attempt at removal W made, but failed from the lack of an adequate majority. • I t thus appears quite likely that Mr. Drew has a majoritY in the direction, prepared to support him in a combination with Mr. Vanderbilt. This evening Mr. Drew appear ed on Broad-street after board hours, and his appearance being construed as an indication that he had taken the course above indicated, the price of Erie advanced fre il/ 68,7 to 701. BREADS T UFFS. FRIDAY, April 24, 1868, p.m' The market has this week been fairly active for flour, wheat, and rye, with an advance in prices. Corn an d oats have also been active, but at some decline in.prices. Flour has not come forward in quantities sufficient meet the daily increasing demand ; stocks have been con" sequently reduced, and assortments somewhat broken, causing an advance in prices of 25 to 50c. per bbl on nearly all grades. The demand has been largely for export. The British provinces, the West Indies, and Europe have al l bought freely. The local trade has also been well rePr e : sentecl, but for coastwise shipment the trade has b:en 1)114 moderate. Local millers have not been able to do much , wheat continuing relatively higher than flour. Wheat has been taken freely for export, with a modest business for consumption. Spring, for arrival, has brough t sc. more money, but on the spot has not been quite 50 firm. Winter wheats have not varied materially, being relatively in fair supply. The first arrivals from the can alS are expected on Monday, and many ordt,rs are held back t o consequence, so that is proballe the demand will be CO mensurate with the increased supply. Corn has been in much better supply. An overdue fleet from the North arrived on Monday and Tuesday, and iti° receipts from Baltimore have been liberal ; under vib l ' °ll accumulations prime new mixed declined on Wednes day to $1 171, recovering yesterday to $1 191, and closing to day at $1 18.
