bEiltIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, 1 •DINNER TO SIR JAMES FERGUSON. The Times says that Mr. Bright's speech at Edinburgh was in some sort a challenge, not vain or boastful, but still a challenge, to all the world to -examine his views of national life and his principles of political action ; and it is probable that no better task could be undertaken at the present moment. Mr. Bright has arrived at a great position. He has a right to say that he has accomplished much, and he is justified in asking his countrymen to consider whether they will not ge along with him in his attempts to accomplish more. What, then, are the reflections forced upon the mind of any person who dispassionately reviews Mr. Bright's career? He must frankly admit the beneficial influence of Mr. Bright's action on all questions affecting the internal well-being of the people. Sometimes, not unfrequently, perhaps, his indignation led him to the use o f language which a larger intelligence of the causes of his opponents' errors would ha ,a led him to modify, but the special legislation he has forwarded has been almost uniformly beneficial. Still there are departments of national life with which he has no sympathy, the foreign relations, for instance. Mr. Bright's constitutional aversion to conceive the neces sity of war impairs to a certain extent his character as a public man. It may be said that his energy is totally arrested when this element of international life has to be considered, and it must be remembered that until all nations become just, war is as necessary an element of politics as the intervention of a policeman is in social life. The Post draws a melancholy picture - of the degradation a candidate has to undergo, and receives the announcement of the issuing of the writs with great satisfaction. A can didate can hardly go through the process of canvassing without a loss of self-respect. Not only must the candi date be content for the time being to degrade himself, but he must pay heavily for the privilege of being allowed to do so. It is only candidates and their agents who can form any idea of the multiplicity and the variety of the wants which their presence in a borough seems instinc tively to suggest to the townsmen. Dismissing for the moment individual wants, such as the payment of arrears of rent, satisfaction of outstanding claims, and not nnfrequently payment of crisp bank-notes for no ostensible purpose save the benefit of the recipient, there are wants of a more general, and, it is suggested, of a more legitimate kind. Local institutions need to be sup ported, and timely application is made, and not unna turally, to those who evince so much interest in the borough or county to which they belong as to represent it in Parliament. Lastly come the purely legitimate expenses, at least what the agents and the electors con sider to be so. The process of sucking the orange is unin termittent, and no one need have felt surprised at seeing so frequently of late the announcement that candidates have retired after what is termed an unsuccessful canvass. The fact is they overrated their powers of endurance, or underrated the rapacity of their hoped-for constituents, and ignobly failed to pass through the ordeal to which they voluntarily submitted themselves. The &raid takes farewell of the late Primate. Ener getic, without officiousness—earnest, without bigotry— firm, without severity—Dr. Longley, in a great number of important respects, realised our ideal of the ecclesias tical authority who is entrusted with the highest honour and weightiest responsibilities which it is in the power of the Church of England to bestow, causing it plainly to be seen that in whatever he did he was acting merely in obedience to his own convictions of what was right. It was impossible for such a man to give offence. Always ready to take the widest view compatible with his sacred office of great theological questions, Dr. Longley never failed to attract to himself the respect ful sympathy of his clergy, even where he did not meet with their entire and unreserved agreement. With administrative powers of uncommon calibre it was his good fortune to have the opportunity of checking more than one dissension which might have developed into a serious schism, just as he never failed to employ the same happy faculty in the defence of the true principles of the English Church. He was a thorough and conscientious Churchman, and knew no form of Anglican worship save that sanctioned by the Church's laws. Never did bishop sit upon the bench who exhibited both by his acts and his speeches a more thoroughly just idea of the relative position of matters religious and profane—of the inter communication and inter-penetration of Churchand State. The loss which the Church sustains in the death of a champion so devoted, and a worshipper so earnest, at the present crisis, it is impossible to exaggerate. That what ever can be done efficiently to refill the place left vacant by Dr. Longley will be done the latest instances of eccle siastical promotion of the Government are sufficient to assure us. To the late Archbishop of Canterbury it is in great measure due that the ranks of the clergy of the Church of England present as firm an opposition as they do to all attacks from without, as well as that there is so little disaffection from within, and the task which will devolve upon the new primate to perform it is a glorious distinc tion for Dr. Longley to have rendered easier and plains than it could otherwise have been. The Daily News comments upon the remarks of Dean Alford, that the late archbishop broke through the iron fetters of conventional precedent, and, in placing himself in close contact with the working classes, did that which was not expected of an archbishop in fashionable society, but which was the duty of a pastor in the eyes of the Shepherd of Souls. In these days our bishops are expected, in the intervals of confirmations and prosecu tions of Ritualists, to climb up into lofts over stables and address the horsekeepers, and we are all glad to hear of it. But in Dr. Longley's early clays it was not so : bishops thought it enough if the people were properly ministered to by the parochial clergy. He did his duty conscientiously and lovingly according to the views of duty which then prevailed. But he lived to see and feel that that the Church of England must free herself from the trammels of a false dignity, and, pious old man that he was, he no sooner gained this en larged view of his duty than he set about performing it. Concerning the customs and ways of thought which rear these artificial barriers between the pastors of the Church and the flock, there is much to be said, which possibly might be just in proportion as it was severe ; but to our minds there is something touching in the spectacle of the aged archbishop, at a time whc n many wculd have consi dered themselves entitled to rest from their labours, setting himself to learn, by the example of younger men, the best way to fulfil his duty as a bishop in the altered condition of society which he lived to witness. The Standard complains that Mr. Goschen claims the Foreign Secretary as a Liberal. We know what are the principles which guide Lord Stanley's foreign policy ; he expressed them very powerfully in his recent speech at Liverpool : scrupulous respects for the rights of other nations, of the weakest as well as the strongest ; strenuous maintenance of our own rights ; a study to preserve, in the first instance, the peace of England, and next, as far as in us lies, of Europe and the civilised world ; to seek no narrow, no exclusive good, but to con sider that our interests are indissolubly connected with those of neighbouring nations. These are the principles upon which Lord Stanley says the foreign policy of Eng land should be based, and upon which, since he accepted the seals, it has been based. gut what have the Liberal party to do with these principles? Their principles of foreign policy must be found in their admi nistration of foreign affairs. If we want to know what they are we must look at what Lord Russell did, instead of listening to what Mr. Goschen may talk. The principles of the Liberal party are embodied in Lord Russell's meddling and muddling. It is idle for Mr. Goschen to attempt to ring the changes. He cannot pass off Lord Stanley's principles of foreign policy as the principles of the Liberal party. The country has too much reason to remember the mischief Lord Russell did, and too much cause to congratulate itself upon the good Lord Stanley has achieved, to be caught by such a clumsy device. The Daily Neirs agrees with Mr. Mill as to the evil of folding out to ambitious men all over the country induce. ments to become Tories to serve their ambition. Most men will concur with him in thinking that human nature has not yet reached that stage of improvement that the cause of progress and justice can do without these people who during the time of Oliver Cromwell used to be called self-seekers. The first duty of a Liberal majority, on these grounds and on many others. is. to place a Liberal Government in office. To defer till February what can be done in Decem ber would be to lose not only the time between December and February, but a great part of the session of 1869 also. The month of January may be very con veniently occupied with the new Ministerial elections which must take place if the House of Commons should proclaim its want of confidence in her Majesty's present advisers, and with the deliberations and preliminaries of legislation which will be equally- necessary, whether Mr. Disraeli keep, or Mr. Gladstone gain, power. The Star looks hopefully to the result of the elections. Those who argued that under an extended franchise the representation of the country would become the prey of needy or illiterate adventurers must be thoroughly ashamed of their foolish vaticinations. It will have pre cisely the opposite effect : and if such a reform in the machinery of elections were instituted as would enable men of moderate means to take the field as candidates, we are ' convinced that the House of Commons would undergo a still greater improvement ; and that, while more truly representing every class of the people, it would exhibit in 1 a yet greater degree those high qualities that befit the foremost representative assembly in the world. Professor ; Fawcett's proposal with reference to election expenses' would have remedied a great evil, and it cannot be doubted that beforro another general election tikes place candidates will reiAncst & tigt, 14pinst wit ikinjulfr.lB( A complimentary dinner was given on Tuesday to Sir James Fergusson, prior to his leaving England to assume the governorship of South Australia. The entertainment was given in Willia's Rooms, St. James's. About 100 gentlemen were present. Lieutenant-Colonel Palmer was in the chair, having on his right the guest of the evening, General Ramsay, Sir George Grey, Hon. A. Blyth, Sir H. Young, Mr. Shaw, Colonel Torrens, and Mr. Grieve Walters ; and on the left Sir John Pakington, Admiral Sir John Hay, Colonel Gawler, Colonel Freeling, Hon.W. Duffield, Mr. W. W. Hughes, Mr. Jacob Montefiore, Mr. W. J. Browne, Mr. E. Stirling, Mr. Dalrymple Hay, and Mr. Vansittart. Sir JOHN PAKINGTON, in responding to the toast of the House of Commons, said he thought no reflecting man could have long sat in the House without feeling increased respect for representative institutions, and for the national character of his country. It was a great institution, but it vas an institution which no nation must for a moment suppose they could create for themselves. It required long training for a nation duly to appreciate or success. fully to work such an institution ; but, without exaggera tion or mrlue national pri le, he thought he might say the House of Commons was a model of a representative assembly which rising nations would do well to study, (Cheers,) And when he spoke of rising nations, to what rising nation could he turn, either with such pleasure,such interest, or such confidence, as to those great nations which were rising in Australia? (Cheers.) It would be for his hon. and excellent friend near him to preside over one of those growing communities. With regard to our own prospects here, also, be would only add that he felt great confidence they would have no occasion to repent the extended franchise they had granted to the people. Col. GAWLER, the oldest Governor of South Australia present, proposed the health of Sir JAMES FERGUSSON, who, in the course of his responding speech, said Australia had within a comparatively short period become one, if not of the first, at least one of the second rank of the colonies of Great Britain. He believed that the people of this country reciprocated the regard with which those of Aus tralia contemplated their mother country. The people of this country were eminently proud of the Australian colo nies. They saw in them, perhaps, a more faithful reflex of the virtues which had distinguished Great Britain than in any other colonies which this country had founded. Those who in this country could view with indifference the intimate connection between Great Britain and those great colonial communities must, indeed, be insensible to one of the great facts which contributed so much to the dignity of this country and its estimation in the world. They saw their neighbours on the Continent using great artificial efforts to found colonies in other parts of the world, having regard to the great advan tages we bad derived from these possessions. Then, if we had received great advantages from them, we should not forget how little was expected from us. In these days Australia was self-supporting. He thought the governor ship of such a colony was an object worthy of the ambi tion of an English politician. The time had gone by when tie ability of a governor was all in all to a colony. However inferior his talents, be could not by his failure impose a great check on the prosperity of the colony. The people of the colony managed their own affairs. South Australia had been formed on the highest principle on which a colony could be established ; it was indepen dent and self-supporting, asking nothing from the mother country but the foundation of authority and law ; and though it had been struggling for a time of difficulty and danger, it had now arrived at a position of sound and stable prosperity. It could not be doubted much still remained to be accomplished. In the wilds over which the adminis tration of South Australia held sway communication bad to be made and railways to be constructed. But the spirit which had actuated the people of South Australia in time past would not be wanting for the future. The failures, if there had been failures, the errors, if there had been errors, would not be lost on the administrations of the future. He would add that the zeal of the Governors, his predecessors. whatever the difficulties they had to face, would not be lost upon those who succeeded them. He was glad to know that there bad been that public spirit shown by the South Australians both in their administra tion and in their Parliaments which gave the best security for the future. KILLED BY A METEOR. -s The Brisbane Courier of the 25th of August states that several of the vessels just arrived from the south ward reported that there was a great deal of electrical atmospheric disturbance on Monday and Tuesday nights, but whether it was the effect or was simply coincident with the eclipse our informantscould not say. In one case it was attended with fatal results, and a man was killed on board the schooner Urania by the explosion of an electric meteor. The v‘s e' was off Ceowdy Heal on Monday, August 17, about midnight, when a heavy south-easterly squall came ca, and ell hen-'s were called to shorten sail. A seaman named H. G. sales was steering, and t.t 12.30 a.m. on Tuesday, the 18th, a meteor, like a ball of fire, fell immediately over the vessel's stern, and exploded with a loud report resembling that of a heavy piece of ordnance. Sparks of fire were scattered all about the deck, and the steersman was killed by the shock. Every one on board felt a violent shock like that of a galvanic battery; but none of the crew were injured except Sales, who was at his last gasp picked up. His body shewed no marks, but ap peared to be blackened, and some six or seven hours after decomposition set in, and the poor fellow was buried over the side. He was a young man, about 23, and a smart seaman. The fire-ball apparently travelled with the wind, which was from the south-west, and when it burst the flash was so intensely brilliant that the steward, who was lying in his berth below, declared that he saw the fire through the seams of the deck. The cabin at the same moment was filled with smoke, which blackened papers lying about. Captain Johnstone says that the discolora tion of the paint was like that produced by " smoking the ship" with charcoal. A peculiar and indescribable smell was perceived for some time after the explosion, and a quantity of flakes like the soot from a steamer's funnel were scattered about. Captain Milman states that on his last trip to Sydney a fire-bail was observed passing ahead of his ship, about one a.m., on Monday, the 17th. It travelled in a horizontal direction from north-west to scuth-cast. Apparently it was so near the ship that the officer of the watch altered her course to avoid it, when it burst, and for the moment the whole heavens seemed to be in ablaze of light, and at the same time there was terrific thunder. Lightning and thunder continued at intervals throughout the night and next day (Tuesday), until about half-past eight o'clock, when the veather cleared up. LAW AND roLicE. PERSONATING A VOTER.—At Leeds, a painter named John Ward, of Manningham, Bradford, has been charged before the magistrates with having tendered himself to vote for the Conservative candidate at the municipal election on the previous day, in the name of Henry Haywood. He was detected because Haywood had voted not long before, and the presiding alderman gave him into custody Lecause there had been previously several attempts of the same kind. lie declared that he had no interest in the election, but the magistrate (Mr, W. Firth) said this offence was a very serious one, and committed him to gaol for seven days. THE SOUTBPORT EMBEZZLESIENTS.—At the Kirkdale Quarter Sessions of the Peace, the grand jury found a true bill against Hodgkiuson, the late chief clerk to the corporation of Southport, on six counts of the indictment for embezzlement. The total amount of the defalcations is £lO,OOO. LUMLEY. — The extraordinary charge of bigamy .)rought against the lady who has for many years been regarded as the lawful wife of Major Lumley was finally disposed of at the Marlborough-street Police-court. Mr. Tyrwhitt decided that there was a prinzd facie case against the prisoner, and that it was his duty to send it to a jury. Mrs. Lumley was, therefore, committed for trial. FlJl.—Advices received in Australia from Fiji report that Commodore Lambert, accompanied by the British Consul, had visited Retina to punish the natives there for the recent murder of Europeans. Captain Brownrigg commanded the squadron of boats. The natives resisted the landing of the sailors. One town was shelled, and several others burnt to the ground. Com modore Lambert left her Majesty's steamship Charybdis cruising in the vicinity of the island, and proceeded on his voyage. THE ELECTION RIOTS AT BLACKBURN. —The election rioting at Dlackhurn ceased on Monday night, but the list of casualties arising out of the disturbances is much larger than at first anticipated. At midnight on Monday a man named Neill Leonard was set upon, through political spite, and was dreadfully injured, and he lies at the infirmary in a very critical condition, and his death is hourly expected. One man is in custody on the charge. Political feeling is still very high, and on Monday morning when a number of working men presented themselves at some of the Conservative mills, it is alleged they were turned out by the work. people because they had voted against the Conserva tive cause. Five persons were brought up on Tuesday before the borough justices charged with personating voters. Mr. Ernest Jones was retained to prosecute, and four persons were sent to prison for a month each, and one was discharged. Two of the dragoons are dreadfully injured, and lie at the infirmary throughffallirt from their horses during the riots. Several men had been fined for Itonethrowipx, ppd ISMUMULQ RAND. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 4, 1868. FOREIGN NOTES. THE ENGLISH IN THE PERSIAN GULF. A week or two ago it was announced that the piratical sheik of Barhien had been brought to order by Colonel Pelly, the British Resident at Buskire, aided by H.M.S. Vigilant and Scinde, and a gunboat. The bombardment of the stronghold at Barhien lasted two days. The ships then proceeded down the coast, levying contributions to the extent of half a million as compensation for the depre dations of the Barhien pirates. The Scinde and the gun boat were afterwards ordered to Muscat, where they found the piratical rebels in possession of the town, and the Imaum defending himself in a fort. He had got his harem and valuables on board a frigate. The rebels had declared their intention of assailing this frigate, which was by no means a favourable specimen of naval arma ment, and the British ships accordingly took up positions to protect her. The whole naval force awaited the enemy, but they had not made the attack up to the time when the mail left. JAPAN. All hope of enrolling Japan in the list of what are termed civilised nations has vanished for the present. Japan prefers a civilisation of its own, which is an ingenious combination of the state of affairs sup posed to exist in Mexico and Fiji. It is a civilisation of the civil-war, ambassador-insulting, Christian-hunting, general-anarchy type. A Prussian Charg6 d'Affaires has been stopped by soldiers in one of the Japanese towns, and his servant compelled to prostrate himself in the dust before some native magnate. This is the first time a representative of Prussia has met with such treatment in Japan, but the representatives of other countries have previously received similar compliments. If the Japanese agree to treat foreign nations in this fashion, it is possible that the chief Governments may come to a unanimous decision on their part. SPAIN. Rumours respecting the chances of various candidates for the Spanish throne are still very prevalent, but in most cases there is not the slightest appearance of fact to sup port them. The most important—though it is strangely at variance with other statements—is given by the Paris correspondent of the Independance Beige. This writer sa3 s the Provisional Government is unanimous in supporting the candidature of King Ferdinand of Portugal. General Prim, before his departure from England, entered into an agreement on this subject with the British Government—with the view, on the one hand of promoting an Iberian Union, and on the other of strengthening British influence in the Peninsula. Against this report must be opposed the most positive affirmations that King Ferdinand would have nothing to do with the Spanish crown. A month of peace and perfect order at Madrid is pro ducing a good effect. Business begins to be carried on, not as before, but much more actively. The various trades are resuming operations. But some difficulty is ex perienced in the case of those destitute workmen who were employed upon public works just after the success of the Revolution. As they were starving, and as it was made a condition of their em ployment that they should give up the arms that were first served out to them, the measure was prudent. But uow they prefer the certainty of public labour to serving under private employers. The municipal authorities are taking steps to ascertain the names of all those who have left private establishments, in order that the directors of public works may refuse employment to them. General Dulce is to take a strong force with him to Cuba. Four vessels of war are being fitted out, and troops are to be sent to replace those stationed at Porto Rico by General Lersundi. The Spanish Finance Minister has decided upon a most radical reform of the tariff. Duty is now paid upon no less than 2,000 articles. This number is to be reduced to 150, and all port dues are to be abolished, so that foreign vessels can come and go perfectly free. Senor Figuerola is a strict adherent to the principles of free trade. AUSTRIA. The Archbishop of Olmutz will not acknowledge the authority of the civil tribunal which has condemned him for publishing manifestoes against the new laws. For this " contempt of court " he has been mulcted in several fines, not one of which has been paid. They amount in all to £2,000. This is a mere trifle to the prelate, who is rich, and manages to combine trade and religious duties in the most successful manner. He is building a sugar refinery and a great steam flour mill, and is thinking of going into the brickmaking line. THE STATE OF TEXAS. The Hon. Reverdy Johnson writes to refute a descrip tion of the social state of Texas given by the Daily News New York correspondent. This writer bad declared that society in Texas was dissolved, except in one or two of the large towns. The whole country is in the hands of mobs, who murder and burn houses at their will. The only safety is to be found inside the quarters of the Federal troops. This state of affairs is described as chronic : "Things were as bad as this during the war, and not much better before it." The American Ambassador, on the other hand, says these assertions are unfounded. " That there are acts of violence in that State is no doubt true, but not more, I believe, than occur in either of the other States, or in any other country." Mr. Johnson adds that the infor mation he received on this point is thoroughly trustworthy. The importance of this question lies in its bearing upon emigration ; the Daily News correspondent recommending no one to go to Texas, and the Ambassador holding that emigrants arc as safe there as anywhere else. The Daily News supports its correspondent in some editorial remarks, in which the opinion is expressed that Texas is the most lawless and barbarous country in the world where the pretence of civilisation is kept up. It is very desirable that the truth of this matter of fact should be known. That the condition of the Southern States is generally de plorable, and that Texas has usually been accounted one of the worst, is certain. But the lion. Reverdy Johnson ought to know, THE EARTHQUAKE IN PERU. A despatch from her Majesty's Minister at Peru to Lord Stanley reports the progress that has been made is relieving the sufferers by the late earthquake. There is now abundance of food and other necessaries at the various towns which have been injured ; what is most required is a supply of material for the construction of temporary dwellings. The trembling of the earth still continued, and in• many places another disaster was expected. The destruction has been so universal, that years must elapse before the loss is repaired. It is thought the building of Arequipa will require a century. Who will be so bold as to live there when it is rebuilt? TRADE 31A11.1(3. We gather from a Birmingham paper a few facts as to a piece of impudence in the needle trade which rises to the sublime. Mcs.srs. W. Bartlett and Sons, the eminent lledditch needle-makers, have auffered greatly by the wretched imitations of their gcods under cover of labels purported to be issued by them. The other day they received a packet of these labels, an exact imitation of theirs, from a Prus sian firm, and with it came the following letter : " Having given up the manufactory of needles since several years, we have still a quantity of labels with [of] your firm, which, before the Commercial Treaty with Prussia, we were allowed to use, and which we did according to the orders of our customers. We enclose a few labels, and would ask you if you are inclined to take them at one-third the cost price." Let all other rogues stand abashed before this unexampled piece of rascality and impudence, and acknowledge their masters in the enterprising Prussians. THE INSECURITY OF OUR PRISONS. Mr. C. P. Measor writes to the Star on the subject of the security of our prisons. The case of John. Simpson—who escaped so neatly some time back from the Hull prison by turning wooden spoons into keys, and by a clever arrangement of string r —seems to have startled. Mr. Measor. The security of every prison, he thinks, should be above suspicion. "To keep ahead of the science of prison desperadoes, by the adoption of the best inventions in locks, is as necessary as to replace our old rifle by the Snider, to retain Whitworths and Armstrongs only until better guns present themselves, and to supplant our wooden walls by ironclad frigates." And yet there is only one gaol in England—the new prison of Sal ford—which is supplied throughout with locks which are impervious to any attempt of the professional locksmith burglar. It is certainly necessary that everything possible should be done to make our prisoners something more than " tenants at will:' But it is the man rather than the mechanism, the warder rather than the lock, in which we mus t trust for the safety of those confined ARTILLERY DRILL. Major-General Warde, the commander of the Woolwich district, sends to the Mlles an answer to the criticisms which have lately appeared as to the training which artillerymen are at present receiving. It is complained that the time which should be devoted to the study of the gun is used in instructing the men in infantry drill, which they do not require. Major-General Warde, however, asserts that they do require to learn the evolutions of infantry. At any rate they are the better for it. Further, " a proper course of instruction in the ordinary field movements of a battalion need not of necessity in the slightest degree interfere with the garrison artillery man obtaining a full and practical knowledge of the complex and essential duties of his own particular arm." Major Warcle admits, indeed, that the infantry drill is in many cases imposed too often ; but he argues that this is an abuse. Surely no one advocates the total abolition of infantry drill, except on the ground that it interferes with other and more necessary exercises. If it can be so arranged as not `)) do so, all objection to it will cense. The American File Company of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, have sold their works to a company with a capital of $300,000 that will convert them into cotton fact9rico, THE LOSS OF THE STEAMSHIP FLORENCE. OFFICIAL REPORT. Greenwich Police-court, Oct. 22, 1868. Report of the formal investigation into the cir cumstances attending the loss of the steamship Florence on the morning of September 28, 1868, about a mile inside the Nab Light-vessel :—The Florence was an iron-built screw steamship, built at Willington, in the county of Northumber land, in May, 1866. She had one deck, three masts, was schooner-rigged, of 747 98.100 tons register, and the property of Messrs. Edward Temperley Gourley and Samuel Laing, of Sun derland, shipowners. She had a crew of 24 hands, all told, and was commanded by James Johnson Thompson. The Florence had an iron bulkhead abaft the engine room, another in the forepart near the stockhole, and a third close forward in the lower hold. She had also a wooden bulkhead in the fore part of the engine room, about 12 feet from the fore compartment, which separated the coals from the cargo. This bulkhead was two inches in thick ness, and of pine. There was, in addition, a similar bulkhea l in the fore part of the main hatchway, 1 about an iuch and a half in thickne:Js. She carried four boats, two compasses, and was well found in every respect. She left London, with a general cargo, on the 6th of August last, bound for Trieste. She arrived there about the 2d of September, and on the 4th began to take in a general cargo of about 1,100 tons, principally grain in bulk, Indian corn, and barley, for the homeward voyage. A Stevedore was employed to see the cargo properly stored. That in the after hold was superintended by the chief mate, and con sisted of Indian corn and barley, which was di vided by some 250 bags of flour, stacked two wide, athwartships, from the dunnage upwards to the beam of the hold ; a quantity of wooden staves were likewise used to divide the corn —thus forming a temporary bulkhead. About 500 's!aves w, re alSo placed on the top of the grain to fill up the hoH. The forehold hatchways Nos. 1 and 2 were stowed under the superintendence of the second mate. No 1 contained Indian corn up to the hold beams ; it was then matted over, and three or four tiers of staves placed thereon ; then another layer of matting, and the remaining space filled up to the deck with anothersample of the same description of corn. No. 2 hatch was stowed with Indian corn as high as the combings. Cases of paper i were then put under the hatches, both fore and aft, , and finally the hold was filled with Indian corn. On two occasions during the voyage the hatches were taken off, and the spaces caused by the settling do ern of the cargo made good. She left Trieste on the evening of the 9th of September, taking on board two extra hands, making a crew of 26 all told. On the 21st she put into Gibraltar to coal, and left that port the same night. On the 26th (Saturday) she was in mid-channel, abreast of Ushant, steering E.N.E. At this time there were strong breezes from the S.W., and towards night the gale increased with a high sea. She shipped a quantity of water to windward on the starboard side. She had a list to starboard, but during the night the cargo shifted, which caused a heavy list to port. The gale continued the whole of that night. She made several very heavy lurches to port, and in the morning her port gunwale was in the water. At 9 a.m. of the 27th (Sunday) she was abeam of the Bill of Portland, distant six miles. At 5 p.m. she was hove to on the starboard tack by lorder of the master. The first mate remonstrated, and suggested that they should bear for St. I Helen's. This the master refused. At 7 p.m. the tarpaulins on the port side of the main hatch Were found to be adrift from the violence of the sea. An ineffectual attempt was made to get the battens on, and ropes were placed across the hatches to prevent their being washed off. The sea was I then washing over her lee rail. It was impos- I Bible to stand upon deck, and the water was 1 washing down the hatches into the forehold. At nine in the evening the master gave orders to bear for St. Helen's Roads. She continued to lurch heavily, and the lifeboat was taken under water and broken up. At 930 p.m. the master ordered the first mate to keep the etip E S.E., nothing to the'eastwarcl. She was pat on that course. She, " however, had but little steam, the highest speed obtainable being 11 to 2 knots an hour. At two the following morning the master ordered the ship to be again hove to. This order the mate I disobeyed, alleging that sh e was f a st settling down, upon which the master threatened to shout hi:n. From this moment the ship. was lin the hands of the offices and crew. Sig nals of distress were kept burning during the I night, and at 4 am. a pilot boat came to their assist ince. The pilot boat was not able to get , alongside the steamer in consequence of their lines Ibreaking. In about two hours afterwards (6 a.m.) the ship went down by the head, one mile in i side of the Nab 'Light -vessel. Twenty of the crew were subsequently rescued by the Pilot boat No. 6, and taken ashore. The master, two stewards, two seamen, and one of the extra hands taken on board at Trieste, were unfor tunately drowned. From the evidence of some of the witnesses examined, as an opinion has been expressed that shifting boards should have been fixed in stowing the cargo ; also, that the ship was too heavily laden, and that on the night preceding, and at the time of the fatal catastrophe, the master was in a state of drunkenness. The evidence on the two latter points was extremely conflicting. It ap peared, however, that during the voyage the master was a painful disease, and that u he h s ad ffe a ri n ng at f t r a oin attack of dysentery at Gibraltar, which, added to the other complaints of which he was proved to have been suffering, compelled him to give most of his orders from below or from the companion. After a careful consideration of the case, the Court felt bound to express its opinion that there was a grave omission on the part of those re sponsible in not having fitted the Florence on this voyage With shif ting-boards amidships fore and aft at Trieste, where grain was stowed in bulk, to prevent its fetching way from one side to the other. There is no doubt that, had these boards been properly fitted, this fatal disaster might, in all probability, have been avoided, as the evidence satisfactorily proved that she was not too deeply laden, more elpecially taking into consineration the two hun dred tons of water ballast that was pumped out after leaving Trieste. There is also no doubt that the cargo did shift over to the port side on this disastrous voyage, thereby causing the ship to list over on that side to an alarming extent, the water coming in to leeward on to her decks in large quan tities as she lurched heavily to port, washing off the tarpaulins, whereby it got below, subsequently, as supposed, filling the fore conal.artrneut. The log of the ship, therefore, must be mainly attributed to the cargo shifting, and in all probability, as the vessel settled down by the head, the wooden bulkhead forward giving way, causing her so sud denly to go down. All the evidence of these re sponsible tended to prove that the ship was pro perly stowed, with ample dunnage in both holds, fore and aft. In considering the conduct of the unfortu nate commander, the Court did not feel justified in coming to the conclusion that he was in a state of drunkenness on the night of the disaster on the day previous, as he seems to have consulted with his chief officer and chief engineer, and to have given rational and proper orders, although it is very probable that, suffering from a painful disease, he could not dis play his usual energy and active attention to his chats. It appeared to the Court that, after the cargo shifted, and the ship had listed over on her port side, nearly on her beam ends, render ing her sometimes almost unmanageable, the mas ter sheull have i. ersevered is his attempt to run to a port of saf, ty ; and it appears by the evidence that this was not impracticable, having St. Helen's Roads under their lee. By the evidence adduced, the ship was hove to on several occasions, when, in the opinion of the witnesses, she ought to have been kept running for a port of safety ; but, in the absence of the master's explana tion of the reasons for not adopting such a course, the Court considered it fair to his memory to give him credit for the character he always possessed of being au able and careful seaman, who would not Pe guilty of any great default of management. 7HE EXISTING FEELING BE7 WEEN ENGLAND AND AMERICA. ( From the Anglo-American Times) Although the attitude of England towards the United States during the Civil War excited surprise, and great disappointment among Americans friendly to England, yet the explanation is easy. Supposing the British to be broadly divided into the oppo nents and the advocates of change, and that the latter favoured the system of government so suc cessfully tried in America, while the former con demned it, the Union might reasonably have looked for the support of the one section to counteract the enmity of the other. They found, however, that the active hostility of the unfriendly was not thus frustrated ; indeed that a large. portion of the party to whom they looked, at least for sympathy, favoure 1 the cause of the rJbels. The disgust oc casioned by a revelation so unexpected induced the North to condemn the English in a mass, not only as being inimical, but also as hypocritical. For a full generation the cause of etnancpation h►] been a lvocated in Great Britain, and only men now old, could remember the political strugg'e the negro .s had caused which ended in the vast sarn voted for their liberation in the West Indies, and the ex penditure of life as well as of treasure on the African coast iusuppreSsing the slave trade. " Here is a strife for emancipation more important beyond compari son," said the Northerner ; " and yet these men, educated in aversion to slavery, favour an attempt to erect an Empire with that for its foundation. Eng land professes broad, liberal principles; proclaiming trial by jury ; no taxation without representation ; the rights of man generally to be the object for which they strive. Yet we, engaged here in a contest based on these rights, meet with vituperation and misrepresentation, instead of with sympathy, even from those bound to support us, and with hostility instead of aid." No En,;lishtnln can deny that this country favoured the rebellion openly with sympa thy, and, as far as safely practicable, with material • aid. The reason was briefly given in a recant speech by Mr. ROEBUCK, who said the Union was growing too great, and unless divided, would become the predominating power of the world. The tone adopted by the " stump" speakers had left a deep impression in England that the United States was indelibly hostile. Hence the ail and comfort to the rebellion, and no feeling was more natural or more likely to embrace an entire people, Liberal, as well as Conservative, after such an impression had been made. However Radical in politics an Eng lishman may be, however earnest in his advocacy of the abolition of negro slavery, still his 'country comes first,. and he would forward any policy which added to her security in preference to aiding foreign emancipators and Liberals. The belief, then, in the great future of the Union, and in its hostility to Englan I, was at the bot tom of English enmity, and embraced myriads who otherwise would have favoured the Northern cause. The fact is that we are always erecting our selves into little providences, and must often in doing so make the angels weep, for if there is a fantastic trick man plays before high HEAVEN it is this. The. nation, as a whole, was profoundly ignorant of* America and American opinion. Its impressions were altogether erroneous about the American character, yet taking its foolish impres sions as undeniable truth, it invaded the future, launching into that sea in its bark without a bottom. Many who sided with the Confederacy knew they had no right to be there. When asked if they fa voured slavery they would indignantly have answered "No ;" if asked if they favoured the rule of an oli garchy they would have indignantly answered "No," and they would have denied the desire to see North America split into hostile nationalities, reproducing the miseries from which Europe has suffered frcm time immemorial. liar his side issues, up which lanes he. endeavours to bolt when pressed—such as his sympathy with the weaker straggling for inde pendence against the stronger fighting for dominion --such as the right of the one to tax the 'other, forcing on him his own shoddy manufactures—such as the violation of States' Rights, though that was little understood in England—and the English Libe ral was left on the brea 1 roa 1 which led to Southern success, hoping that the strength of England's over whelmingly powerful enemy might be neutralized. Remove from the Liberal this nightmare of possible humiliation hereafter to his country, the dread of a domineering and aggressive policy on the part of the great Republic, and the North would have an earnest and steadfast ally, for, as a rule, English men sympathize with that cause, the more strongly, the better they unclerstan I it. One effect of the war was to dispel a cloud of English illusions, and to make generally known the Republic in a way that but few had before been acquainted with it. The geography of the country as well as the character of the people then came out in a new, light, and American affairs have ever since taken an important place t iu,Europe, and are now const tly discusse lin England. Social prejudices are thus breaking down, although not an operation to be per formed in a day.' The " typical Yankee" is as little heard of now as the "fiddling . , dancing Frenchman" of yore, and the general run of Englishmen have some knowledge of American parties, politics, and states men. Correspondents from Washington and New York occupy considerable space in the daily papers, and most of the " weeklies" devote an article to an American subject ; clippings from Transatlantic papers interlard both, and the numerous biographies and histories of the War, have helped to correct inaccurate impressions of the country. In discuss ing the . exciting questions left by the conflict, the tendency has been to view them through a party medium. 'rue Democrats, who desire to preserve the Constitution intact, to return to things as they were, and call themselves Conservatives, enlist thereby the sympathies of the "Tory-party in England, who in a measure have identified themselves with the Demo crats iu America. Oa the other hand, the Liberal and Radical journals take up the Republie,au cause, and almost as vehemently as in America maintain its patriotism, purity, and excellence. It is evi dent that there is a growing feeling towards a broad party identity, basing the superstructure upon a few principles which can be applied to the altered eirctuntances of the two nations. Liberty is the same on both sides of the Atlantic, and the rights of man, and woman too, mean the same thing, though they may be sought through different insti tutions. A strong sentiment runs through most nationalities, which, under ordinary circumstances, can scarcely fail to be intimate where the lan guage is the same, and there is a simila rity 'in the manner of seeking the same objects. Danger may arise from one country meddling in the affairs of the other to forward party ends ; indeed such may already have been caused. At any rate, the motives of Foreign Secretaries and Ambassadors will be open to suspicion as long as there is any affinity between the national factions. For instant REVERDY JOHNSON was the Conserva tive leader in the Senate, and supported the policy of his namesake in the White House. Though the Legislature was Republican, the personal popu larity and respect for his Excellency induced the Senate to sanction his appointment as Representa tive at St. James's. He came as the selection of a Conservative ruler to transact business with a Conservative Government in England, and Presi dent JOHNSON might very naturally intend to do his party a good turn in strengthening the English Conservatives by enabling them to meet Parliament with the announcement that all difficulties with America had been sAtled. If the Democrats aclieve th's for their Conservative brethren here they will have done them a service to be appre ciated for many a long year to come ; and although we have no reason for supposing this to be the case, some such feeling has given the point for the late Republican hostility to REVERDY JOHNSON. The tone of theLiberil pap.n.s in America can be brought forward in proof of this. One warns the English Liberals that Mr. JOHNSON is by bir. h and breed ing a Southerner, and, being imbued, with the oligarchical instincts of the South, has never been trusted by the Liberals in America, and ought not to be truste I by the Liberals in England ; indeed the Star has taken its cue from this. That international feeling should be drifting in this direction, as it uncl9abtedly is, may, we think, be a subject for congratulation. it shows an advance ment in knowledge, and ignorance is the root of in ternational mischief. Nations cannot fight when one half the inhabitants of each, oppose the other half of their own, while bound in the bonds of political brotherhood with the corresponding halves of the other nationality. Though all in each country are not politicians, the leaders and the most active minded are, and from them the tone is taken. Had the Liberals of England been associated in a political alliance with those of America Mr. Lain would not have built the Alabama, and perhaps no privateers would have got to sea from England. The Daily News and the Spectator would not then have been the only important papers which dared to advocate the Northern ciuse, and English feeling, being fairly balanced pro and con., England would have been honestly, and not feiguedly, neutral. If these poli tical bonds strengthen, they will introduce a new element into politics as well as int) internation . ll sentiments, but whether for good or evil, time only can Show. Now we point oat whit is evidently the tendency, for it is uamistakeab!y seen in the press, more particularly in that of Load m. The Stand ird thiuk - 3 it necessary to expl tie, to defend, to misquote, to equivocate in aid of the Democrats, an ex =plc more or less followed by all Tory organs. The Star goes into the other extreme in defence of even questionable R publican ac's ; and the host of Liberal journals do the like in various degrees. Herein may be noticed the steady march of Ameri canism, which will rapidly give the tone to political opinions throughout Christendom ; and the know ledge that this is in the future has had no small in fl uenee in making the old Tory element detest the very name of America. Nor ought the Republicans to be surprized, or even annoyed, at a feeling so very natural ; for, in truth, they should sympathize with Toryism as they do with the Red Indian tribes—a thing they are destined to exterminate in their advance towards higher principles of Government. ,Toryism, the child of Feudalism, occupied the soil here as the Red Indians did the American continent, and America is acting on the Tory go vernmental system to its destruction as the citizens of the United States are acting to the destruction of the ancient possessors of their continent. Why should the Red Indian love the pale face? and why should the blue-blooded county gentleman, and the lordly hereditary legislator, love the men whose irresistible march is straight over their privileges, prejudices, and interests? Hitherto the powerful oligarchies of Europe have caused the failure of every attempt to found a free Republican Government, and then pointed to these failures as proof of the unfitness of the masses for self government. But here is a Republic (luckily for it in its infancy separated by an ocean) whose rise on the principles it advocates has been the most wonderful iu the history of nations. Ameri canism comes then backed by a marvellous suc cess, and 'therefore doubly distasteful. But old Toryism is expiring, and in it dies the bitter enemy of the Republic. Hence, in a ineasur;‘, the changed feeling of England which will be more marked as its enemy grows feebler, and hence, too, the change in party notions which has enabled the Conseiva tism and Liberalism of England to fraternize with what they are pleased to consider the Conservatism and Liberalism of America. THE SOUTHERN STATES. The news from New Orleans receiv ed by cable during the week is that list Saturday, a riot, caused by political differences, occurred between the whites and the blacks, when nine persons were killed and several others wounded. On the following day another riot occurred at St. Bernard's parish, near New Orleans, and ten persons were killed ; great excitement prevailed in the city, and military pa trolled the streets. But on Monday more rioting took place, when martial law was proclaimed, and the telegram ends by stating that the Bayou negroes were terrified. The fact is that a reign of terror prevails, or will prevail, if not checked by prompt steps. With that singular facility in blun dering, the Philadelphia correspondent, who fur nishes this intelligence, thus writes in the same issue - in which two of his telegrams appeared : " In the South since the elections there has been a sud len cess ition of outrag s.' As the greater part of the bloody tales of Southern barbarism were manufactured for Northern consumption before the October elections the business has ceased, there being no longer any use for it." We may add en passant that the Times has a strange aptitude for being right on American topics. It is now shown that the negroes were killed at Landry's in the riot formerly reported in as lawless and inexcusable a manner as at Camilla ; but no steps have been taken to punish their slayers. lu an article of the Nation on negro tactics at the South the following remarks occur : —" Now, the negroes are certainly in every State but three in a minority, and for all practical political purposes in a small minority. It is safe to say they can never hope to win a victory at the polls in any Southern State, after the next year or two, by the negro vote alone. Not only are they in a minority, too, but they are in a minority composed of a de tested and despised race ; and they are poor, un influential, and without political experience. With the whole body of the whites, or even a large pro portion of the whites, arrayed against them, their position is probably more unfortunate than that of any class of p n.sans in any civilised state in the world—a great deal more unfortunate, we have no hesitation in s tying, than. that of the Turkish rayabs, over whose condition all Europe is con stantly lamenting. We know very well that there is a school of politicians, of which Wendell Phillips might with some modification be taken as the type, which believes that by some tremendous crushing process all this white hate and prejudice against the blacks would be ground out; but these gentlemen are readier with vituperation than with plans, and they have never yet given to the world their scheme in detail. Suffice it to say, that to make the negro safe and comfortable by force alone would require au army of 300,000 men, the complete suspension of his political education, and the substitution of mlitary for civil government over one-half the continent for an indefinite period. The expediency or possibility of this we shall not discuss, although we would have welcomed such a prolongation of the -existing military rule as would have helped to break up the Southern habits of violence and the habit of looking on the negro as a wild animal." The report of the Bureau-officers detailed to' investigate the Camilla affair has been published by G-..neral Howard. It agrees substantially with what has already been stated. Gee. Meade and Go vernor Bullock are working earnestly to prevent a re petition of such an oatrage, the former ,having dis tributed his troops where they will be most avail able, while the latter has charged the citizens to preserve order and peace, to see that all are secured in their rights. The House Committee of the Louisiana Ll;islature has reported upon the regis tration troubles there, finding that the registration boards have exceeded their authority, and recom mending a change in the law, as well as the nulli fication of the doings of the Central Registration Board.

They perhaps attribute his doctrine to his Puritan birth and breeding, and will be confirmed in the impression that nothing good can come out of New England. The " young man by the name of Adams," as the '1 r ib tie calls him, in a speech on the lfith instant, said that Wade Hampton was no more a rebel than himself. Ills speech at Columbia wa:, we understand, a fine efforz of oratory, and is said to be remarkable for telling plain truths in a manner singularly like his grandfather ; he summed up the points demanded by the North as follows : " The North is determined, as I believe, to retain and establish, as the legitimate results of the war, these general positions, with all the logical conse quences necessary for their convenient enjoyment ; first, the utter renunciation of the doctrine of secs sion ; second, the entire extirpation of slavery and all its family; third, a fair and unhampered career for the freedmen ; fourth, the equal right of every citizen of the United States to travel, speak, and live in any State so long as he did not infringe the r ights of o'thers."
