MISCELLANEOUS NE 1V TIIE MISTILY. The Ministry is now complete. Lord Claud John hamilton, second son of the Duke of Abercorn, has been appointed a Lord of the Treasury, in place of hfr. Noel, who succeeds Colonel Taylor as Secretary be the Treasury. DESPERATE TACTICS. x= The great amount of mendacity mixed uP with : the resent election struggle is something frigh h tful. A Birmingham gentleman, passing through the streets of an adjacent town, saw the following placard on the walls in large type :—" From a quite independent quarter, we learn that within the last nine months Ur. Bright and Mr. Dillwyn had a formal interview with Cardinal Cullen and Monsignor Woodlock, to arrange in what way the spoils of the Irish Church could be appropriated by the Irish Roman Catholics." Ho wrote to Mr. Bright to know if it were true, and received an answer that Mr. Bright had not thought it worth while to contradict a lie so absurd, and that "there is, surely, no person who can believe it, on whom any argument, or state ment, or contradiction of mine could have any influence." The " independent quarter " from which thcse tales come must be somewhere in the neigh bourhood of the " Father of lies." A PALPABLE TRICK. The highest art is to conceal art. Mr. John Bright hr.s been trying his hand at a little bit of finesse, but the dodge is too plain to deceive anyone. He writes to Mr. Brogden to say that he would gladly see him member for the borough of Wednesbury, and would say so publicly if he did not fear to intrude himself where hehas no right to appear. He gives his reasons: " You are the chosen candidate of the Committee of Selection, and on that ground alone, if I were an elector, I should give you all the support in my power. I was glad to hear from a friend of yours a few days ago a favourable account of your pros pects, and I hope you may meet with a marked success on the day of the poll." Of course this is immediately printed in a local paper, and Mr. Bright's private opinion will shortly be the property of the whole nation. Mr. Mill's dictation may be objectionable, but it is straightforward enough. John Bright can no more successfully imitate the tactics of a Disraeli, than he could per form on the trapeze like Leotard. MR. GLADSTONE TO THE NON-ELECTORS OF NEWTON. Even after a fortnight's " stumping," Mr. Glad stone is by no means " stumped out." In answer to an address from the non-electors of Newton, he says that the Liberal party have done their best to impress upon the Reform \ct of 1867 a satisfactory character, "under the disadvantage arising from its being in the hands of those who conceded Reform, not from equity, but from necessity, and resisted onvery many occasions, and on some of them successfully, our attempts to improve its provisions. They regret that the county franchise is, by so wide an interval, sepa rated from that of the boroughs. Further, they b e lieve themselves to be as loyal to the agri cultural as to the trading interests of the country. The measures of the so-called farmer's friends kept him in continual uncertainty, in frequent distress, and in the odious position of living in part at the expense of his fellow-countrymen. No legislation can do for this or any other class all that we could desire ; but the measures of those who were decried as the farmer's enemies have given him on the whole increased profits, greater steadiness of business, and exemption from a reproach the more painful because it was true," THE MINORITY CLAUSE. In the three-cornered constituencies all the odium of the minority clause has been laid on the Conser vatives. But the Tory candidates by no means wish in all cases to accept the responsibility. Indeed, the Constitution'l candidates for the City of London— which may be called a " four-cornered constituency " —rather seem anxious to throw it on the other side. Mr. Fowler, the chairman of their committee, pub lishes a letter, in which it is shewn that while only nine Liberals voted against it in the House of Lords, forty-three Conservatives recorded their antipathy to it. On the other hand, seventy Liberals ane seventy-two Conservatives voted for it. .INLAND REVENUE OFFICERS AND 'rite FRANCHISE. Mr. Monk, the author of the Inland Revenue Officers' Disabilities Bill, and Mr. Stephenson, the chairman of the Board of Inland Revenue, are having a pretty little squabble between themselves over a very interesting subject. Mr. Stephenson, some time back, ordered notices to be put forth in the depart ments under his control, forbidding canvassing by the employes. But Mr. Monk suddenly discovered that the Act declaring canvassing illegal had been repealed. Forthwith he posted off this information to Mr. Stephenson and the daily papers. Mr. Stephen— son politely informed him in reply that he had made a mistake—had discovered a mare's-nest. There it was thought the matter would have ended. But it appeared that the correspondence has still been going on. Mr. Monk is not convinced by Mr. Stephenson, and asks for proofs of his statement, adding that the Act to which Mr. Stephenson refers as unrepealed is one concerning soap, paper, and linen. Mr. Stephenson returns that he believes himself right : " With respect to any proof of the correctness of my assertion that the prohibition enacted by s. 182 of the 10th Anne, c. 19, remains in full force in regard to the Department of Inland Revenue, I can only say that I am so advised, and that I must be guided by that opinion until it has been demonstrated to be erro neous." Yet again Mr. Monk, nothing daunted by the stiffness of the reply, returns in a letter in which he quotes all the Sets in question. The argu ment he uses is, that the Act on which Mr. Stephenson relies refers to officers engaged in certain duties. By subsequent statutes these duties have failed to be required. There is nobody, therefore, engaged in them. The Act, therefore, is a dead letter, and has no power as to those engaged in similar, but not the same work. TUE POLITICS OF TUE CLERGY. If the Conservative working man disturbs the Liberals, the Liberal garson troubles the Tories. If ever the Liberal party looked for the support of the clergy, it was on an occasion when the Church was assailed ; and now day after day we hear of important defections. The Hon. and Rev.W. H. Lyttelton, rector of Hagley, although he declines to join the Liberal committee for East Worcestershire, promises to vote for the Liberals. On former occasions he voted on the principle of " men, not measures," but now that a great qucstion is ahead he will vote on the reverse principle. Nothing but very strong reasons would induce him to vote for a leader who has done so much to demoralise public men as Mr. Disraeli has,even were his politics more to the reverend gentle man's liking. The Conser „dives have a set-off in the Hon. and Rev. A. C. Talbot, who not only has put his name on the Conservative committee for West Staffordshire, but goes on the " stump." • THE " TIMES" JUSTICE. The leading journal has forgotten the homely proverb as to the equal value of a condiment for both sexes to the bird sacred to St. Michael. The Bishop of Chester having given some hard raps to both those parties in the Church who disregard her spirit and formularies, our contemporary rejoices that the Bishop has condemned the extreme Ritualists, and at the same time laments that he has destroyed the value of his reproof by extending his condemnation to those who violate the spirit and the letter of the Prayer-book by their omissions and modifications. The Times finds an excuse for them in custom, and has no doubt that if the Bishop were to remonstrate with these offenders they would immediately amend their ways. To put their disobedience into the same category with naughty Ritualists is too bad. The Bishop of Chester's care is to maintain discipline in the Church, and to call back those who are going to Geneva as well as Rome. Ile takes for his standard the Prayer-book, not the Times ; and impartial thinkers will hold, in direct opposition to that bournal, that th e Bi s h op ' s c h arge i s valuable chiefly ecause it deals out equal measure to all classes of offenders, and places him out of the category of per secuting bishops. THE CIIITECH ASSOCIATION. - - - - It is not dignified to be twice snubbed. The Church Association has put itself in this awkward position, and thereby given its great enemy, Arch deacon Denison, the advantage. It will be in the recollection of our readers that the secretary wrote to the Archdeacon to the effect that if he would give every facility and promote his own prosecution for certain questionable sermons which were supposed t o b e withdrawn from circulation, they would be glad to help him. To this kind offer the Archdeacon makes reply : "It is not true that the sermons referred to m your letter of the 16th instant have been I withdrawn from circulation.' For the rest, I refer you to my letter of Sept. 22, 1868,. in which say that I decline all further communication with the Church Association." PUBLIC OPINION. The Roman Catholic priest of Sale placed a wooden cross in the centre of his garden in front of his resi dence. Upon this hung an enamelled iron figure of the Saviour. The Protestants were wild, especially as the priest did no' licol the remonstrances of the press. " Public opinion " was called to the rescue, and manifest e d itself in defacing the crucifix. At la ;t gimp°. or was nied, and the image was removed Lsorn the crem, and probably deposited in a neigh bouring wnal. They are strong Protestants at Sale, but they hardly illustrate the Protestant principle of religious liberty. CHESTER CATHEDRAL. The Dean of Chester writes to a Liverpool paper to appeal for funds on behalf of the restoration of the cathedral. Last spring an appeal was first made, and since then £28,000 has been promi se d. The archi tect's estimate is 1:35,000, and the whole undertaking will last a!out Ave 7. - .; Tl ^ l . 7 .ort v0nD2.1,4, en: ent,erpnse or this kind can not comnete very successfully with the excitement of a ge,r-nr.A. election, but that -it seems unnatural that Liverpool should have no hand in the work, and he gives the names of a committee of approval. Ultra-Protestants will be astonished to find the name of the arch-traitor Gladstone on the same list with the "great and good" Dean of Ripon. The care of the cathedral is in good hands, and the Dean, who is well acquainted with the fact that the phlegmatic people of the fens have in a few years rendered "Ely's fane" one of the fairest architectural wonders on the face of the earth, will move the wealthy people of the North-west of England to a generous rivalry. SPORTING TRANSACTIONS ON Tiro SUNDAY; A writer in the Post calls attention to a state of things which can hardly be generally known. He points out that professional sportsmen know no Sunday, no day of rest. They were as hard at work at Newmarket on Sunday week last as the "dullness " of the time would allow them to be. " The Rooms " are open, and gentlemen relieve the tedium of the Sunday afternoon by a lounge there. The Post correspondent asks:: "If this betting ex change at Newmarket is open, why should not the Stock Exchange in London be open ? Is the arm of the English law too short to reach to Newmarket ? Do the regulations of the Jockey Club overrule time-honoured institutions? I am not a labbatarian ; lam not one of those who believe that Juan was made for the Sabbath, but (he exclaims) to see the class which of all others contributes nothing by its labour, and brings by its gain no profit to the community, which thrives upon wealth wrung from the folly and vices of others—to see this class privileged to pursue its trade unchallenged in the midst of a people who gravely legislate against San day recreations for the poor man,—this, sir, is a sight that brings irresistibly to the mind a denuncia , tion that we have heard uttered somewhere against those who strain at a gnat and swallow a camel : " Certainly this - writer has much reason on his side, and few will be found, unconnected with the Turf, who will not endorse what he says about racing itself. "It is not a pleasing picture— it is not a hopeful one—that of England's national sport in this year of grace 1868. A noble sport degraded into a mere gambler's excitement ; rank and influence fraternising with low-bred chicanery ; laws set at nought by the rich and powerful, and rigidly enforced against the poor." THE POLICE IN DISGRACE. From a contemporary we gather a report that the entire C division of the police has been ordered to the East-end of London. The reason for this is a supposed connivance of the police in the night-house. evil at the West-end. Inquiries are said to have 4 been made under the direct authority and supervision', of Sir Richard Mayne, and the results have been very startling. The matter has been dealt' with by an officer high in the confidence of the Chief Commissioner • certain prosecutions, it is said, will ensue, and a careful surveillance will be maintained by the constables who take the places of those removed. For a long time it was a cherished theory that the policeman was immaculate and his evidence unimpeachable. This fiction has been long exploded. The man who goes about town with his eyes open is obliged to confess that venality and tyranny are two of the special vices of the force. The sight of money will touch their tenderest sym pathies, the sight of poverty and suffering too often excite their brutality. THE POOR, THE POOR LAW, AND THE PUBLIC. That very old subject, the administration of the poor law, is again exciting attention. The opinion is gaining ground that from beginning to end our present system is a hopeless failure. But no one suggests a really practicable plan to put in place of it. It is admitted that the out-door relief is in many cases too small ; that as an organi sation for supplementing the endeavours of really working people it fails ; that it takes away much of that sense of self-dependence which constitutes manliness, and that it pro vides for and almost encourages the vicious and idle ; that it feeds the criminal while he is out of prison and in want of a job. But instead of trying to bring our present system "up to the mark," and using it as much as possible, societies are formed— with terribly large working expenses—and by the encouragement of indiscriminate charity make the evil tenfold worse than it was before. The Rev. John F. Ditto, the incumbent of one of the metropolitan parishes, makes a proposal which deserves attention, but which is by no means free from objection. He suggests that the object of the guardians' charity shall be narrowed to those living on relief, who are paupers pure and simple, that these shall not be allowed to receive relief other than from the parish, and that the parish relief shall be made sufficient for all wants. He proposes to leave to private philanthropy all others to be relieved. The obvious objection to this plan is, that private philanthropists are not and cannot be made responsible, and without responsi bility somewhere, any plan for the relief of the dis tressed could not be carried on properly. VAGRANCY. The magistrates of Cumberland and Westmoreland have determined to deal very sternly with the tramp. They have resolved to send that man to prison for the full month who offends against the vagrant laws. The result is that crime has decreased con siderably. Some 4,300 vagrants have been kept out of Cumberland during the last twelve months, and 2,500 out of Westmoreland. Housebreaking and suck like crimes have become less frequent, and altogether: the system has worked well. Probably, however, the vagrants " have played their tricks " in another county where they felt safer. But still we cannot help feelinc , that it is possible to " repress " in a great measure that dangerous class. It may be added that a statement appears in some of our contemporaries that the committee of the Society of Arts, of which the Bishop of London is president, appointed to inquire into the state of the metro politan criminals,. is likely to lead to " action." Archbishop Manning, Sir Walter Crofton, Mr. John Ruskin, Captain Wake, RN., Mr. Thomas Webster, Q.C., Mr. Frederick Hill, Rev. 11. Solly, General Cavanagh, Mr. Francis Fuller, and various other gentlemen well known by their labours in the cause of social reform, have taken an active part in the deliberations of the committee, and it is understood that a plan is being prepared by whirl our streets may gradually be cleared of the swarms of young " Arabs " who are now ripening into criminals. Employment may also be provided for the older members of the dangerous and destitute classes, or they will be brought under much stricter surveillance than hitherto. FOREIGN NOTES. SPAIN. A telegram from the Timcs correspondent strengthen:: the assertion of the Impartial of Madrid, that, France, England, and other Powers have opened friendly relations with the Provisional Government. The French commu nication is " responsive and sympathetic; the English cold and reserved." The same correspondent says that the evil consequences of the uncertainty as to the future of the country are becoming apparent. " A descendant of Don Carlos, styling himself Duke of Madrid, and aspiring to become King Charles VII., is already in the field, He is said to have made his appearance at Hendaye, the last French station on the Pyrenean frontier, and it is added, absurdly enough, that the Emperor of the French, bent on defeating the aspirations of the Duke of Montpensier and of all the House of Orleans at any cost, has evinced some dia. position to favour the pretensions of this young representa. tive of the Carlist branch of the Spanish Bourbon." Sub scription lists in support of his claims have been opened, and the clerical papers have all rallied round him, but nothing very serious is to be apprehended. A decisive movement on the part of the Provisional Government would render hopeless all opposition. Spanish securities have lately fallen in price, owing, it is thought, to the large sales effected by Queen Isabella and her adherents. The telegram announcing that King Ferdinand had refused to entertain the offer of the Spanish crown is of the highest importance. His consent was a disputed point, the Standard holding that he had not consented ; the iberte asserting that ho had. He was by far the most promising candidate, and, if we are to accept this as a final refusal, we must also conclude that the difficulties of the Provisional Government are greatly increased. General Prim has replied to Mr. Guedalla, president of the Spanish and Portuguese Jewish Society of London, who had applied, on behalf of his co-religionists, for the revocation of the edict of expulsion issued in 1492. The Spanish leader says that he has no power to grant such a request, but he is convinced that the triumph of the Revolution will establish religious liberty without restric tion. The Diarie, of Barcelona, says the Junta there has in formed the Swiss Consul, who with some of his country men had applied for permission to build a Protestant Church, that no authorisation was required ; the applicants could build any edifice and practice any faith they might decide upon. The Constitutionnel denies the report that the candida ture of Don Carlos meets with support from the French Government, and especially from the Empress. The Siècle says the Duke of illontpensier is now the only suitable prince whom the Spaniards can choose as a ruler. In spite of contradictions, the chances of his becoming King of Spain increase daily. The leaders are in communica• tion with him, and their advances are favourably received. CUBA. Letters from Havana explain the conduct of the Cuban authorities upon receiving the intelligence of the Spanish The f.ta a. Queen Isabella► wa.tAbou_t to be held when the telegram from the riovisional Government was received ; but, fearing to alarm the populace, the Governor allowed the festivities in honour of the fallen sovereign to proceed without interruption. The next day a council of the chief men of the island was held, when it was determined to accept the new Government, stipu lating only that emancipation of the negroes should not be immediately proclaimed. INDIA. The principal intelligence from the nortn-west frontier has been anticipated by telegraph. The chief of the Swat tribe was taking part with the British, and there was every prospect of the Hussunzyes and Khan Kheyles being effectually punished. The men of Swat displayed great activity against the enemy, and were evidently bent upon driving them out of the neighbourhood. Other items of intelligence are of considerable interest. Some disturbances on the Persian Gulf, caused by a marauding chief of Bahrein, have been finally disposed of by the B ritish resident, Colonel Pelly, aided by her Majesty's ship Vigilant. The lawless chief is now an outlaw, his fort, vessels, and ordnance have been destroyed, and the plun der which had been taken from British subjects has been restored. Fenianism has made its appearance in India. Mathew Keenan, a soldier of the 90th Light Infantry, has received sentence of nearly two years' imprisonment for using traitorous language respecting the Queen. The unhappy shareholders of the Victoria Patent Brick Com pany of Bombay have been mulcted in a call of no less than £7O per share. The Anglo-Indians have tabooed refugees. Sir John Lawrence has decided that foreign princes who take shelter in British India must be sup ported at the expense of the British Government. The Times of India continues to write against the appointment of Lord Mayo as Viceroy. Some of the other papers, however, are adopting a conciliatory tone. As the appointment has been made and there is now no help for it, they ask that the new Governor-General should have a trial. But the Times of India objects to filling such an office upon speculation. Most important of all are the accounts of the scarcity in the north-west provinces. The distress in these districts is very serious, though it hardly merits the terrible designa tion of famine. Natives are migrating in all directions, vainly seeking plenty where scarcity everywhere prevailed. A slight fall of rain had in some degree improvedthe prospect. THE " ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE" THE VICEROY OF EGYPT. A correspondent at Alexandria writes to prove that the reported attempt upon the life of the Viceroy of Egypt never took place. The testimony he accumulates is undeniably formidable. The attack was first said to have been made at Cairo, and then at Alexandria. But though the date given was the 22nd of September, nothing was heard of the affair until the Ist October. The streets were densely crowded at the time, but nobody saw anything of the murderous assault. The instrument said to have been used, a spiked ball, was so clumsy that it could not, except by the merest chance, have done more than inflict a trifling wound. The writer thinks his Highness, the consular body, the mercantile community, and Reuter's agent were all the victims of a hoax. The strangest fact is, that the prefect of police heard of the affair, and went to examine the house from which the ball was thrown, but was met at the entrance by two of his own men, who refused him admittance. On remonstrating, he was removed from his post and sent up the country as Governor of Esneh. AMERICA. The Republicans have been out-manoeuvred in the Southern States, in nearly all of which the Democrats have secured a majority by gaining over the negroes. In con sequence, the Republicans are endeavouring to prevent the elections taking place in the South. In Texas an election has been forbidden by the military commanders, and in Alabama the Legislature declines to pass any registry law, so that there will he no means of ascertaining who are voters. The Democrats, however, are determined to hold an election, whether their opponents participate or not. The President, too, has forbidden the interference of the military governors. The Daily News correspondent says the desertions from the Democrats still continue, and some of them are very disheartening. The result of the election in Ohio may be said to settle the question of payment in greenbacks. The leading Republicans addressed themselves almost exclu sively to this question, and it occupied more attention than any other. MINING IN7ELLIGENCE. We are glad to hear that Colonel David E. Buel will soon be back in London, having attained the ends he sought to accomplish in Nevada. He has been labouring hard to get his mines into the best working order. We extract from an exchange the following remarks from the Belmont Mountain Champion, dated 19th September, which thus notices his return to that city :—" The Colonel is one of the pioneers of Philadelphia mining district, and is acquainted with all the old settlers. lie at once set out to arrange for the thorough development of the mines in which he is interested in this dis trict. Oa Monday last he purchased the necessary quantity of brick for the construction of furnaces, in connection with the ten-stamp mill in Belmont, arranged for their immediate delivery, contracted with the builders to forward the work speedily to completion, and set an increased force to work on the mines. In a few weeks he will have ores worked by the most approved process at his mill. Colonel Buel has the utmost confidence in the permanency and richness of the mines in this district, and there fore takes hold with his characteristic zeal and de termination, which cannot fail to be productive of wealth to himself, and prosperity to the community. It is conceded by all competent mining experts, practical and scientific, that the mines of Philadel delphia district, particularly those upon the High bridge, Transylvania, and El Dorado ledges, exceed, in point of richness and permanency, any in Nevada, and only want proper development to make them the best paying claims. We have no doubt of the wealth of these mines." TIN IN COLORADO.-" It is tin ore of the very richest kind—of the variety known in Cornwall as the resin tin ore.' He—a Cornish visitor —says he never saw richer or more perfect ore raised in Cornwall. We have plenty of it. The Spicer lode crops out for about three-eighths of a mile, and seems to be 100 feet wide—all of the same kind of ore we send you. We are sinking a shaft as fast as possible, but have not yet defined the crevice, but are taking out slathers of ore. The Eureka lode is from eight to sixty feet wide, in a defined crevice— all of this kind of ore. This I believe is the first oxide of tin ore ever discovered in America. The tin ore discovered in Missouri was sulphate of tin." OWYHEE AVALANCHE, IDAHO, August 29th. Late intelligence from Cariboo states that great excitement has been created by the discovery of a large prospect on Paterson Creek. The Pickens and Edwards tunnel, at Cottonwood, is now in on the ledge 70 feet, where the vein is three feet wide, and shows exceedingly rich in silver. Lewiston Journal, July 15, says: —" A. new placer mining district has been discovered on the headwaters of the St. Joseph's River, and about 80 miles east of Oro Fino. A number of pers ms have left this place for the new mines. Three different camps have been formed, either of which will prove good." The Helena Post, August 20, says of these diggings—" Mr. Lusk, who has just arrived, states that fabulously rich placer mines have been disco vered in the Coeur d'Alene Mountains, on the head waters of the Coeur d'Alene and St. Joseph Rivers. Sweeney's is the only claim upon which a sluice is running. On Booth's River, seven miles south-west of ESweeney's River, prospects of from 25 to 75 cents to the pan arc obtained, with a pay streak six feet in depth and 18 inches wide. Upon another river from 10 to 15 cents to the pan is obtained. Tributary to all these rivers are numerous gulches, in which good prospects are obtained—in fact, the whole of that sectipn of country seems to be a network of rich placer mines. There are, in these new diggings, about seven hundred men, and immense numbers on horseback and on foot, who, with every conceivable character of outfit, are hurrying to them from every point of the com pass. Great excitement exists at Beartown and vicinity concerning the new mines in the emir d'Alene Mountains. A bar has been discovered there seven miles in length and about 400 feet in width, the dirt upon which, so far as tested, is from 4 to 12 feet in depth, and prospects from 10 cents to $1 85 cents to the pan. The creek below the bar prospects well. The amount of bullion shipped by the Manhattan Silver Mining Company for the month of August' is $151,538 82. ROCKY MOUNTAIN AURIFEROUS REG ULUS.-- , About 30 tons of copper regulus were delivered at New York recently, without transfers of cars, from Omaha, in twelve days, being breught from near the mines of the Boston and Colorado Alining Com pany by the Pacific Road. It was transhipped from New York to Wales, where the regulus will be made to yield about 80 or 85 per cent, of pure c opper. IN, THE AMERICAN MINIM& A great deal has been said as to the probable recall. of r. Reverdy Johnson on account of his fraternising with Mr. Laird and others. Several of the papers have hinted very plainly that his conduct was being thought very reprehensible by the party dominant in the State. It is evident, however, that he himself has no such fear. The American Minister was entertained at Liverpool on Monday evening at a private banquet 'by the Mayor, Mr. E. Whitley. In reply to a feeling address by his worship, who rejoiced in the prospects of perfect peace with the United States, his Excellency, in an eloquent address, said that, in substance, the differences between his country and this were trifling in comparison with what they had passed through in America. Not withstanding the generals who commanded during the civil war, North and South were now intimate friends. He did not come to this country to keep up animosi ties, and he did not fear censure for being friendly with those who had formerly been looked upon as enemies. Alluding to a remark regarding a change of Government in England, he expressed a confident belief that all pend ing questions would be adjusted before Lord Stanley's retirement from power, and said he had never known a man more indefatigably industrious than his lordship. Mr. Johnson also spoke of the benefits of free labour, and predicted that ultimately the growth of cotton would be more than double what it ever has been. The establishment of friendly relations between the two coun tries, he said, would at a future time teach the world that war could be avoided by honest diplomacy. In conclusion, the Minister said he did not know what his country would think of the manner in which he was executing his mission. He was sanguine, however, that his policy would be approved ; but if he failed to give satisfaction he would accept the censure with Christian resignation. EXPLOSION OF A NAPHTHA LAMP. Mr. Richards held an inquest at the London Hospital. on Morday, touching the death of Jane Evans, aged 4 years. Jane Evans, the mother of the deceased, said that on Friday, at six o'clock, a man named Robert Matthews erttered her shop with a naphtha lamp in his h and. There was a fire in the shop, and round it were seated the deceased, her brother, and a sick baby. Matthews went to a shelf in the elop, and took a can of naphtha off it, and he then went to the fire, and while he was filling his lamp he let some of the naphtha fall into the grate. There was an explosion at once ; and the deceased, who was nearest the fire, had her clothes set in a blaze. Matthews let the lamp and can fall on the ground, and he did his best to extinguish the child's burning clothing, but before he could do so she was burnt all over the body. The child was then carried to the hos pital. Matthews was a friend of the family, but he had not got leave to take the naphtha. The witness bad told him on Friday not to take the naphtha. Robert Matthews, having been formally cautioned by the coroner, said that he had taken the naphtha off the shelf before. On Friday Mr. Evans said, "If we have any to spare, you can take it." When the explosion occurred, although he was severely burnt about the legs, he did his best to put out the fire in which the deceased was wrapped. Mr. W. Evans said that on Friday he did not give Matthews leave to take the naphtha, but he had done so on other occasions. Mr. E. B. Rutledge, surgeon; said that the deceased died on Friday night. The whole front of the child's body was burnt. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death, caused by the explosion of a naphtha lamp ; and they desire to rebuke Robert Matthews for his want of caution in pouring out naphtha near a fire where children were seated." "E OUTRAGES ON MISSIONARIES. The following extracts from letters received by the last mail supply trustworthy information respecting the recent outrages on missionaries in China. The Rev. J. H. Taylor, writing in a boat on August 24, says : "The events of the past week baffle all description. We are all on the way to Chin-Kiang, and are nearly there. Thanks be to God, no life has been lost; and, after the experience of SatUrday and Sunday, if the loss of our property does not give rise to feelings of joy, it at least appears a very small matter indeed. The house was surrounded by some thousands of rioters— the natives say 20,000, but this is probably a number magnified by their fears. They dug through the walls, burst open doors, and tried in several places to set fire to the premises ; rifled our boxes, drawers, and rooms ; searched and took what they valued from the persons of three of the ladies, &c. All of us are more or less bruised. Mr. Reid has nearly lost an eye, and several teeth. . . ." From the letters of the other missionaries it appears that the 18th August was actually placarded about the city as the day upon which the house would be attacked, and endeavours made to set it on fire, irrespective of the natives or foreigners in it at the time. These placards contained the grossest libels against the missionaries, and in one of them the name of Jesus was blasphemed in the vilest terms. From about the above date until the 23rd they had been almost in a state of siege, the climax being on the 22nd and 23rd. Miss B. writes : "Wo have had to flee from Yang-Chau. I cannot stop now to describe the last few days, if indeed they are describable. The next mail must bring you particulars of events. Meanwhile you will join us in praise to God for saving our lives and limbs, and our most valuable property. The rioters sacked every room but one, in which were all our most important papers and the bulk of our money. . . We had to escape for our lives by jumping from the roof over the front of the reception hall. But God graciously sus tained and saved us. Very earnestly do I desire and plead that He will yet take us back to that city, for His •lory's sake." LAW AND POLICE. EMBEZZLEMENT.— Robert Cecil Ewen has been charged at the Central Criminal Court upon several indictments with embezzling money to the amount of £3,800, which he had received on account of his employers, Messrs. Stead and Co., manufacturers, of Cummersdale, near Carlisle. It appears that the prisoner received a salary of £2BO per annum. At the close of the year 1867 some irregularities were discovered in his accounts. Mr. Hodgson, a gentleman holding a responsible position in the establishment of the prosecutors, went to London and had an interview with the prisoner, and in the course of that interview he distinctly charged the prisoner with embezzlement and falsification of his accounts. He at first denied that this was the case, but at the same time he asked Mr. Hodgson to give him a private interview, and they adjourned to the Cannon-street Hotel, where the defen dant handed a letter to Mr. Hodgson, in which he admitted that he bad applied different sums of money, to the amount of £3,800, which he had received on account of Messrs. Stead and Co., to his own purposes. In this letter he also stated that he had felt it absolutely necessary to increase his income, and as the state of trade would not permit the prosecutors to make him an additional allow ance he had sent goods on speculation to Beyrout, Constantinople, and other places,:to the amount of £5,000, and this speculation had turned out an unsuccessful one, and he had lost nearly the whole amount. The prisoner also expressed his deep sorrow for his conduct and the serious wrong he had done to the prosecutors, and he pro- fessed to give an account of certain business transactions which, according to his statement, w'..en they arrived at maturity would result in providing sufficient funds to fully recoup the prosecutors for their loss. Messrs. Stead and Co. suspended criminal proceedings for a time to enable the prisoner to hand in a statement of money due to him. This statement proved to be a false one, and the prisoner ultimately absconded. The defence was that the prosecutors bad treated the defalcation as a debt. The jury found the prisoner guilty, with a recom mendation to mercy, and the judge sentenced him to penal servitude for seven years. A NOVEL FRAUD. —An extensive and ingenious system of fraud, by falsifying post-office orders, was brought to light on Monday at Bow-street. The accused is a young Frenchman named Richard Hugo Otto de Foucauld, and is said to have been an officer of Hussars in the French service. In the case before the court he obtained an order for 2s. 6d., and, having altered the amounts on the face of the document to £5 2s. 6d., borrowed, by an artful pretext, £2 10s. on security of the fictitious order. He was committed for trial, but it was stated that many more charges of a like character would be brought against him. A CURIOUS ELECTRIC CABLE PHENOMENON.— For some weeks the trans-Mississippi telegraph cable between Memphis and Little Rock was out of order. At intervals no communication could be had for hours, and all at once the cable would revive and the fluid passed through it as usual. At length it ceased to convey mes sages. The cable was one of the best ever laid in America; it was manufactured originally for the Red Sea. The cable was taken up, and it was discovered that four inches of the conducting wire had been completely burnt out; it is supposed that a shock of lightning had passed through the cable and destroyed the four inches of wire. It is curious . that after this destruction messages were occa sionally conveyed by the cable, and it is conjectured that a slight connection was formed between the burnt ends of the conductor by moisture, which had penetrated the cable in sufficient quantities to keep up the circuit, there being a battery at the Memphis end strong enough to drive the electricity through at intervals. Cannot some mode be established whereby communications can be passed through large bodies of water without a cable? It is certain that messages passed to and fro across the 4issimippi without a meta] connection. — lfew York Paver. THE EXISTING FEELING BETWEEN ENGLAND AND AMERIRA. ( From the Anglo-American Times) The discussion which has arisen in America from his Excellency REVERDY JOHNSON'S speeches in England have again brought up the nature of the existing feeling between America and England. In a temperate article, Harper's lVeekly condemns the course as well as the words of the American Minis ter. The warmth of his language, as expressive of the kindliness of his countrymen towards the British, it considers exaggerated; while it censures his meet ing at a social board, and publicly announcing his friendship for two such notorious enemies of the Government he represented, as Lord WIIARNCLIFFE and Mr. ROEBUCK. That sentiment is nride up of so many, even contradictory, elements that those who take any position are enable I t 3 cover their assertions with facts. Thus the man who maintains that the Americans hate the English, or vice versa, can almost overwhelm his opponent who hol Is the contrary opinion by undeniable statements. Not only can either bring forward historical inst.ances, but he can show by his own and the experience of friends, what certainly is the case, that in either country there are men who bitterly hate the other, or who love and admire America or England, bringing either country forward for example. This is simply the common lot, the experience realized not only by nations but by individuals. Though one man may be hated and liked more than another, yet no man ever rose to distinction who had not his detractors as well as his eulogists. To ascertain the general feeling towards a statesman, his per sonal enemy should as little be referred to as his friend; nor is the Anglophobist the authority to consult regarding American feeling towards Eng land. England may be more frequently discussed across the Atlantic than America is here, while the feeling may largely partake of indifference, but it is a mistake to describe it—unless under exceptional circumstances—as actively hostile. Had it not been for the necessities of the politicians, England would have become the country of travellers' tales and story-books, known to literature more as Western nations knew Greece than as a political entity in the mind of the prairie farmer, who raises his crops where American dominion is rapidly centreing. But, unfortunately for England, she has furnished the stump speaker with his trump card. When the eagle begins to scream, when the orator soars off into his wildest flights he wants a foil, and he has it in the British lion. There is no use in giving him the Gallic cock, the Russi.tn bear, or the other eagles with divers heads and denominations, as he can extract no point out of them, for it is the sulky old lion his hearers know, recognize, and delight in seeing the speaker after with a sharp stick. Eng lish history is familiar as the forerunner of Ame rican ; the island is comparatively familiar; from it came the language, the institutions, religion, laws, and there a precedent is sought in a dis pute. When told of the degradation of an Hindoo the American cares not a rush, no more than if a tribe of monkies had suffered from the failure of a nut crop. Poles under the heel of Russia, Italians beneath Austrian military rule, only call forth sympathy when they rise in arms against the op pressor, and then it is the contest, not the sorrows, which interests. But it widely differs when the degradation of men is described, employed in the same labour, who bear their names and speak their language, for it is easy to attract attention where the pictures in contrast are quickly realized. Thus it happens that England has become the foil for the glo rification of theßepublic,andEnglishro en to show how is the wide difference between the free and enlightened citizen, and the ignorance, the poverty, and the serf dom of the British labourer. Is it in the nature of the stump orator to refrain, when this kingdom comes before his mind's eye as the hotbed of Toryism, the paradise of the oligarchists, and there fore, politically, the enemy of the Republic, whose mission it is to uphold and to propagate the doctrine of the Rights of Man ? Thus he could most readily touch the sensational chord while the strong con trast allowed him the freest flights of fancy. At once he elevated his hearers and sank beneath them to an unmcasurable depth the men they best under stood. One of the strongest feelings in the States is the dislike of a ruling class, and how else could it be so well gratified as by a hearty abuse of the bloated British aristocrat. The mind of an American responds readily to the touch of the grandeur, the magnitude, the boundless nature of his territory ; how better could the dimensions be shown than to contrast its porportions in moun tains, lakes, and plains endless as the sea, with the narrowness of Britain, where, like the fisherman's boat upon the ocean, it is two steps and over board. To illustrate the military glory of the Union, his English cousins furnished the orator with the most appropriate illustration, for hal they not whipped the world, but bad not the States whipped them. England's vast provinces he represented as groaning under a selfish,treacherous, narrow-minded imperial policy, which wrang from the toil of hungry millions the gold expended in the sickening extra vagance of the gorgeous palaces of London. But what did the American with the magnificent domain HEAVEN had given him ? lle invited thereto the oppressed of all nations ; he smoothed away the difficulties and made their path easy into the waste ; he threw open with a lavish hand the rich soil of the prairies; he fed the hungry and carried out in his administration of the continent entrusted to his care, the true precepts of Christianity. There is too much of truth for Englishmen to relish in these comparisons, and although the orator flew away with his screaming eagle into wild flights, his words hit hard. While, then, they affected English feeling unfavourably, as the tune from year's end to year's end sang over the Union, they could not fail to leave their impression on the American brain. Hence an apparent if not a real political hostility, which differs widely from the feel ing entertained for Americans in England, for here the dislike is social, though, at least in part, gene rated from the same cause. The English reply, to the highfaluten and spread-eagleism of the Ame rican orator, was ridicule and sarcasm, which found a daily expression in the papers, and frequently in such works as those of DICKENS. The Upper Ten thousand, who gave point to the orator's moral, set the fashion in England, and it was natural for the bloated British aristocrat to notice with super cilious disdain the peddling Yankee stump speaker, who pictured him in such an unamiable light. As a rule, literary men who live by the fruits of their labour have to write to suit the taste of their readers ; and as a demand existed for this ridicule it was readily supplied, even by such authors as DICKENS. Unfortunately it hit the wrong class, for it scarcely reached, or only in the most super ficial way, the men who had been in d..figing in the offensive buncombe, while it repelled and bitterly annoyed the true friends of England —those into whose bands such works at once passed. .Among a very large section, Eng land is a model country. The " bloated aristo crat" is the hero of tales read by their firesides, and he is received with a hearty and generous wel i come when he sets his foot in the United States. American authors wrote and poets sang of the old country, its green fields and hawthorn hedges, its ancient ruins and cathedrals, while tourists rum , maged its mossy graveyards, its heralds' offices, and musty parchments. The traveller on his re turn spoke of England, and his audience listened with an ever-green interest in its society, scenery, manners, and customs, the speeches of its public and the writings of its literary men. Thus Eng land which served as the political foil for one class served as a social model for the other, and inter woven through both were strangely mingled these conflicting sentiments. When England then re plied to political buncombe by social ridicule, in stead of meeting the real point of attack she left it open and unguarded, and struck the friendly bosom, repelling the very sentiments upon which she might have played so as to raise up in the enemy's citadel a most powerful ally. Nor was this all these wise people—the bloated aristocrats — accomplished. They generated a social anti pathy which no others more readily conceive than. the English, and quickest, where the thing to be disliked is stigmatised as vulgar. Accord ing to former English notions, all Americans were "tobacco-thawing, spitting, whisky-swilling Yankees," whose ideas never soared beyond trade, who spoke a peculiar jargon through the nose, whose hair was unkempt, and whose beards fell under their chins in tufts like those of the goat. This Yankee wore striped trousers and a swallow-tailed coat with brass buttons ; a diamond pin in his shirt-front, and a heavy watch chain of pinchbeck gold; he addressed every one as " stranger" with the utmost familiarity, questioning and guessing. England had totally misunderstood the American charac ter, but it is a positive and acknowledged fact, that, gross as was English ignorance, the Southerners - themselves knew little more about their Northern brethren. To them the Yankee was a sniffling, peddling, fanatical trader, whose object was at the same time to realize treasure in this world and the next, and to do both from the most sordid of motives. Such a creature, he argued, will not fight, but he started on a wrong basis, and quickly arrived at the most awful grief. If PROVIDENCE saved the American Union, and with it the bond of freedom— for we sins 'der to think what might have happened to mankind had it gone down before its foes—it did so with lessons we ought to lay to heart. The ceaseless attacks on England merely for rhetorical effect produced an apparent political hostility in America against England, and a genuine social dislike in England for Americans. That dislike led literary men to paint a typical Yankee, • which produced a grossly untrue ideal in the English mind. That caricature and a belief in the hostility of the States induced Englishmen to wish for the success of the rebellion—that wish led to covert countenance and aid, which materially strengthened the power of the Confederacy, and nearly led to its recognition by England and France, a combination which might have destroyed the Union. This countenance and aid generated feel ings of bitter irritation in the Northern States which almost forced the Washington Government into a war with England after the suppression of the rebellion. Thus great effects are produced from small causes, and were it not that Americans are of all people in the world the most forgiving we might not soon see the end of so miserable a muddle.. What we maintain is that ignorance is at the root of all this mischief. The " bloated aristocrat" of the American stump speaker is gene rally a highly cultivated, liberal-minded, and very unpretending English gentleman. To represent him as grinding up the bones and blood of Hindoos, or wringing from the poverty of Ireland the wealth which supplies his gorgeous palaces, is similarly to falsify facts as the English did in the " typical Yan kee." That he has class prejudices no one denies ; and many honest men think he should be deprived of his class privileges. But every American who ob tains an entree into his society knows, that there of all places in England, liberality of sentiment has the freest expression, and is best expressed. It is impossible to treat this subject in a single article, and there are points connected with it to which we will next week draw the especial attention of our readers, as we think they supply the data whence we can gather the true drift of international feeling. BLACK-MAILING. On Broadway, below Fourteenth-street, stood a church that was one of the most fashionable in the city. The congregation was wealthy and large, the minister eloquent and popular. The belles of the city, with the young and the fashionable, crowded the church when the pastor filled the pul pit. In the full flush of his popularity, when a pew could not be hired at any price, when any salary would have been paid to him that he demanded, the minister disappeared. Quite late on Saturday night the vestry received a letter from the rector, dated off Sandy Hook. The letter tendered the rector's resignation, and announced that he had sailed that day at noon in one of the Cunard steamers for Europe. The parish were surprised and alarmed. The whole affair was a painful mystery. Here was a minister, settled over a flourishing and liberal charge, with a fine church and parsonage, a church crowded with the elite of the city, with a salary equal to any demands he might make, with the best sing ing in the city, and all the popular appliances, who had suddenly resigned, and privately left the coun try, to go no one knew where. The story is a ro mance. The explanation came after the minister had completed his European tour. At midnight the door bell of his parsonage was violently rung. Going to the window, the minister saw a man standing on his door stone, and he demanded his business. Ha came with a message, he said, from a dying woman. Hastily dressing himself, the good man came to the door and received the message. Just around the block was a poor woman, and she was dying. Her only treasure was a babe. She could not die in peace unless her babe was baptised. If his rever ence would come to her dying pillow, and adminis ter that sacrament, the blessing of a poor dying woman would be his reward. It,was much to ask, and at midnight too, but his great Master, who loved the poor, would not have denied such a re quest as this. His humane and religious sympathies were aroused, and the minister followed the mes senger. Common prudence would have said, "Take a policeman with you. Call up a friend, and get him to bear part in the ceremony." But, dream ing of no peril, he went on his way to do, as he thought, his Master's will. He was soon in a disso lute region, in a street notorious for its uncleanness. The messenger knocked at a heavy gate that closed up a narrow, dark alley. It opened im mediately, and slammed behind the parties like a prison door. Tnrough a long, narrow, and un wholesome entry, that seemed to be an alley way covered, the parties took their way. They passed up a narrow staircase, broken and rickety. Dark-featured and villainous-looking men seemed to crowd the place. With his sacred vestments on his arm, and his book of service in his hard, the. minister was ushered into a dark and unwholesome looking room. The door was closed behind him and locked. A dim candle on the table revealed the outline of a dozen persons, male and female, of the most abandoned and desperate class. His in quiry for the sick woman, and the child to be bap tized, was greeted by shouts of laughter. He knew he was a victim. He demanded the reason for this outrage. He was informed that his friends who had invited him there wanted money. His stand ing and character were well known. He was in one of the most notorious houses in New York ; his midnight visit to that place was well known, and could easily be proved. If he paid one thousand dollars, all would be well. If not, his ruin was cer tain. Instead of defying the villains, calling on the police, or confiding in his congregation, he thought he could hush the matter up. He might have known that it would all come out, and that every dollar he paid would be used as evidence against him, or as means to extort more. But he was tho roughly frightened ; would not have the thing known for the world ; his hand was in the lion's mouth, and ho must draw it out as easily as he could ; so he gave his obligation to pay the mono) , promptly at noon the next day, which he did. Of course new demands were made from time to time. He was dogged in the streets. Suspicious-looking men stopped to speak with him on the corners. Notorious men rang his door bell. Mysterious notes, from ignorant, low-bred, and vicious persons, —as the spelling and language showed,—came to his hands, and into the hands of his family. The poor man was nearly distracted. lie paid away his own money, and borrowed till his reputation suffered. The threat of exposure hung over him like an ominous sword held by a hair. In a moment of desperation he decided to leave the country, which he did, to the astonish ment and regret of his friends. On his return from Europe, the rector settled in Massachusetts, over a small rural parish. He was soon tracked to his country home. Black-mailing was renewed. His old terror came upon him. Again he acceded to the extortion. The police of New York at length came to his relief. In searching for other game they Caine upon proof that this minister was in the hands of black-mailers. Letters were found containing in formation of his whereabouts, how to terrify him, what sums to demand, and what time his salary was due. He was relieved from his pursuers, The large sums he had paid were not refunded. His spirits were broken, and lie has never recovered his posi tion. I saw him not long since in Canada. He holds a subordinate position, and is preaching to a small parish. lie will die a victim of black-mailing. ,Sunshine and Shadow in New York." SPEAKER COLFAX'S SPEECH. Mr. Colfax thus spoke at Lafayette, Indiana : To-day we feel proud that we have saved a nation and emancipated a race, and to-day we follow our great standard bearer—the hero of the century — U. S. Grant. Brave in battle, generous in victory, reticent in speech, yet firm as the eternal granite in principle, and upon whose banner these magic words are inscribed : "Let us have peace." They are four words only, but a volume is contained in them. If there is a country in the world that wants peace, it is this American Republic. We have passed through a severe struggle for national existence. No land ever was required to make such sacrifices as ours. We h ad to heap up golden and living treasure upon our coun try's altar ; the noblest and best went forth to prove their devotion to the flag of our fathers. Now, in the language of our leader, let us have peace. IV' ) want no more taxes, no more drafts, no more carnage and bloodshed, and desolation. No ; no. IVhen we reflect that this rebellion is only to be remembered in broken hearts, numberless graves and enormous debt, we can all say we want no more war, but WO want loyalty to be triumphant, and we want peac e through justice, liberty, nationality, and security to all. (Great applause.) Are we going to hav e them ? (" Yes ; when we elect Grant and Col fax.") Yes ; there is one man who comman ded peace, who struck down and d rove th ose who wag" war into the last ditch, and sent them home a 3 paroled prisoners of war. When he becomes Pre" sident, wherever treason dares to raise its head he will strike it down. Every man who dares to raise his hand against his fellow-man will be met wit h the stern power of the Government. Grant 14 1 give protection to all, through the nation's strength' This is what Grant intends to do, and what lie believes the duty of the Executive, as I know from his own declarations. (Great applause.) Wh en you see, in the South, the newspapers, which a' press public opinion, speak of Union men, wh o have lived there a ll th e i r li ves , as sca l awag s, and when they speak of the brave soldiers and others from the North who have gone down there an d settled, as they had the right to do, and call theln• carpet-baggers ; and when you have seen their threats, in the form of a wood-cut representing a gal lows on which to hang after next March those they call carpet-baggers and native scalawags; when r ti see the attempt to put these States back again unde r the power and control of the rebels ; if you consent to . it, then I say you are not worthy of the blood e t the brave soldiers that died to destroy that power and to enthrone loyalty in its stead.
