•2'SE QUEEN IN SWITZERLAND. A despatch from Lucerne states that her Majesty re etlxned from her excursion to the Furka last Tuesday, at half-past seven, by the steamer Wrunkelreid. A large number of people, chiefly English, assembled on the bank of the lake to receive her Majesty, whose return had been previously announced. The Queen left again on Thurs. day morning to spend a few days on the Righi. In Lucerne, as everywhere else, her Majesty has made a most favour. able impression by her simple appearance and pleasant manners. Not long ago the Queen visited the cattle-sheds on the Gutsch, when a servant was just at that time engaged in feeding the beasts. At first, when he per ceived who was his visitor, he was greatly confused, but quickly recovering himself, he saluted her Majesty with G oo d day, Madame Queen." The Queen laughed, and ask3d various questions as to the manner in which the cattle were managed. On another occasion, a few days back, the Queen went to Goldau, and took a seat upon a rook to draw, while her suite went on the Schritt. After a time she called a poor woman who was standing in the road, and sent her to summon the Royal suite to return, for which service her Majesty amply rewarded her. When. the company had all taken their seats in the carriages, the Queen said to the poor woman, " You can go home now." " No," replied the poor woman, " you go ;I am at home." MR. CARDWELL ON THE IRISH CHURCH. The Liberal candidates for the representation of the city of Oxford, Mr. Cardwell and Mr. Vernon Harcourt, addressed a large meeting on Monday evening. Mr. CARDWELL was received with loud cheers. He did not profess to be a prophet, but it appeared to him that what was going on at Oxford was going on pretty generally amongst the constituencies of the country, too, and he entertained no doubt whatever as to the result of the elections generally. And when he saw some of the most active-minded members of the present Administration seeking for themselves agreeable residences in her Majesty's distant colonial possessions, it appeared to him that he might draw a somewhat sanguine augury with regard to their estimate of the probable result of the elections. One thing of great interest to him and to the country generally had happened since he last addressed the electors. When the resolutions respecting the Irish Church were pending in the House of Commons there was one circumstance which he observed with great regret, and that was that one of the ablest and best of public men in the country did not vote for them, but was conspicuous by his absence from the dig ision list. But during the last few weeks Sir Roundell Palmer had vindicated Mr. Gladstone from the charge brought against him of having taken up that question not from sincere conviction and a true sense of public duty, but from party motives and personal ambition. All the cobwebs about the Coronation Oath and other similar matters had been swept away by that powerful hand, and that to him (Mr. Cardwell) had been a source of the most sincere gratification. The question of the Irish Church had not been brought forward as a religious ques tion, but as a question of justice and policy ; and it was so regarded by the Roman Catholic laity. He was convinced that in these days the union of this United Kingdom could only be preserved by a policy of justice. It was an an old, and unfortunately a true saying, that England's difficulty was Ireland's opportunity ; but he asked the electors of the United Kingdom to return to the next Parliament men who would establish such a mode of governing Ireland that there should be a real and not a paper union between the two islands— th I,t there should be no difference of sentiment and of interest, and that when next the Crown and the Government of the country shall be exposed to any difficulty, there shall be no distinction between the three parts of the kingdom in the cordiality with which they will rally round our institutions. MADAME RACHEL'S BAIL. On Tuesday, according to notice, bail was to appear at Judges' Chambers for Madame Rachel ; but, as will be seen by the subjoined report of the proceedings, there was another disappointment. On the summons being called on, Mr. G. Lewis, jun., addressing Mr. Justice Willes, said that he had six notices of bail served on him, and on one occasion only had the proposed sureties put in an appearance. On the present occasion, though twelve was named as the hour for appear in:,•, it was then two o'clock and no bail had appeared. The prosecution by all these delays was put to a great expense, and it appeared, he would not say. maliciously, but vc:7- tiously. .Tuatice Willes said the better plan would be to get an crler from the Central Criminal Court to make the application before a magistrate. Mr. Justice Blackburn was quite right, if he (Justice Wiles) might presume to say so, in directing the bail to go before Mr. Tyrwhitt on a former asion, and the magistrate was also right in refusing to accept it, as he had no order before him. A clerk from Messrs. Roberts's office, who appeared lor the defendant, said they were prepared with one 6ure'y, ,but of course he was no gocd without the other. Mr. Lewis said that one of the proposed sureties ban be , n refused by the Recorder on a former occasion, and 3d-dame Rachel had been committed for perjury. Mr. Justice Willes thought that such a remark ought not to be made, as it was calculated to prejudice the case. From what he read in the papers, it appeared that the jury bad disagreed, and such being the case be thought that they (the prosecution) ought not to be so very particular. Madame Rachel might apply for bail every hour of the day if she chose, but the diffi culty was to get a judge to accept it. If the sureties had offered themselves, he would have gone into the worth of the bail. As it was, he would recommend an application to a magistrate, though of course the defendant could apply at Judges' Chambers. The family of the Bishop of Durham has sustained a severe domestic affliction in the death of his eldest daughter, which took place a few days ago at Auckland 0 , elle. The deceased lady, who bad been ill for some time was thirty-six years of ay.. A letter from Geldie Lodge, Braemar, says that on Thursday last that locality was visited with a severe snow storm, which lasted some hours. Tho cold was intense, and tho tops of all the bills were covered with snow to a consi derable depth. A violent gale of wind from the north-west prevailed for 48 hours. THE POOR FARMERS. —TIIO Wilts and Glouceste? Etandard reports that a gentleman farmer purchased 2,000 lambs at Bs. 6d. a head about four weeks ago, owing to the owners not having feed for them, the grass being everywhere burnt up. After he had had them in his pos session for about a fortnight he was offered £1 a head for the." 12,000—a good profit for the fortnight's keep. The Archdeacons of Armagh and Dublin have *Mussed a letter to the archdeacons of the other dio c of Ireland, proposing that an address be presented to the Primate and the Archbishop of Dublin, request ing them, in conjunction with the other Irish bishops, to a pply for the Royal permission that the customary writs issue for convening the Convocation of the CLurch of Ire land :at the same time that writs shall issue for the pro vinces of Canterbury and York. Yesterday at Chambers an application was made to Justice Wiles to stay proceedings as against an insolvent who had executed a composition deed for the benefit of his creditors. The learned judge refused the application, on the l• round that there were no particulars in the affidavit, and fur all he knew the man in question might be worth suffi cient to liquidate his debts. The solicitor replied that if a man offered a shilling in the pound, and his creditors resolved to accept it, nobody else had any inte rest in the transaction. His lordship took a reverse view of the case, and remarked that, if a man had £lOO in his pos sesion, and executed a deed by will, his creditors would not receive the whole of that sum, and they imagined that the titan paid away the whole of his money. In his (Justice IVilles) opinion, he was guilty of a great fraud. SPEAKING UP FOR THE PROFESSION.—A fellow named Alexander Wilson, brought up at Marlborough s:.reet Police-court on Tuesday on a charge of stealing, described himself as a " turf reporter." We know every turf reporter in the metropolis, and there is no such person connected with the press. It used to be a common custom for every vagabond to describe himself as a betting-man, and now it would seem that blackguards like this Wilson are about to disgrace a profession by dubbing themselves haphazard as turf reporters, because they have no visible or apparently honest trade or business. Wilson has already suffered three months' imprisonment, and we trust that he will get another term if only for his impudent assumption of such a title.—Sporting Life. ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY. — On Tuesday morning an accident took plac3 on the Great Eastern Railway, within three miles of Brentwood Station. An express train, which leaves Brentwood Station at ,:bout 10.15, had proceeded on its way some distance to- Avard s Romford, when the axletree of the luggage van broke down. The result was a series of most violent con• elusions and bumps, and as at the spot where the break down occurred the line runs on the top of a steep em bankment, there was great danger of the train going over. Fortunately the engine was stopped before any further mischief was done. A down train took the passengers back to Brentwood, whence they were forwarded as soon as possible to their destinations. Proviclentialy no one had received NW salmis iplurleo, 11.- • SUSPECTED MURDER OF A POLICE. CONSTABLE. A police-constable of the G division of the metropolitan police and a warrant officer of the Worship-street,Police- Court has met his death under circumstances which, up to the present time, are surrounded by the gravest suspicions and shrouded in mystery. The deceased's name was Charles Clay, 268 G. On Wednesday last he discharged his usual duties, and the following day attended at the Mid dlesex Sessions in a case wherein a man named Lambert was charged with fraud. That case, however, was adjourned for the attendance of a material witness, in search of whom the deceased, in company with a cab proprietor named Hurren, is known to have gone to Stoke Newington the same evening. From that time till about half-past eleven at night his time is unaccounted for. At that hour he was discovered by a person unknown stretched insen sible on the ground in Norfolk Gardens, Shoreditch, a place infested by thieves and convicts of the lowest and most desperate character—a terror to that part of the metropolis; and on examination it was found that he had sustained a severe cut at the back of the head, and two bruises in the face, one of which was between the eyes, and the other on the left cheekbone. A constable's atten tion having been called to him, he was placed in a cab and conveyed to his home in Lever-street, Goswell-road. On the following morning he bad rallied a little, but not having reported himself at the station a messenger was sent after him, and he then returned himself as on the sick list and unable to attend to his duties, but saying not a word respecting the manner in which he had come by his injuries, and soon afterwards, relapsing into insensibility, he gradually sank from that time, and died at half-past nine o'clock on Monday morning ; not one syllable having during the intervening time escaped his lips that afforded the slightest clue as to what had happened. The deceased was only in the 35th year of his age, generally esteemed at the police-office, and leaves a wife and three young children wholly unprovided for. The immediate cause of death is stated to be effusion on the brain. Norfolk-gardens lies in the eastern portion of the district covered by the G division of police, and over which the decease had control as warrant officer at Worship-street Police-court. On several occasions he has, in face of the threats of the thieves and roughs which infest the gardens, entered houses therein and arrested offenders who were " wanted." About five weeks ago the deceased visited Norfolk-gardens, about two o'clock in the morning, and removed from thence a man who was charged with being concerned in stealing a case of tea from a railway van, and he, after examination at the police-court, was sen tenced to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. The prisoner, it appears, was a member of the " Norfolk gardens Gang," and the deceased, on more than one occa sion, has been heard to express a fear that at some time or other he should meet with foul play at the hands of some of the coterie, in revenge for the conviction of their associate. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 2, 1868. (twin screw), Commander 11. Fawkes, recently commissioned at Portsmouth for foreign service, made the usual speed trial over the measured mile in Stokes Bay, near Portsmouth, on Saturday, pre vious to sailing for her destination. Non-condensing with her engines, out of six runs made over the measured mile, she attained a mean rate of speed of 10.039 knots. With her engines condensing she attained a mean rate of 9.6 knots. Her tonnage is 467, her draught of water Bft. forward and 9ft. aft, and her nominal power of engines, combined, 120 horse. The Cracker is under orders to sail imme diately for her station. The Megera, screw steamship, Si;aff Commander Jabez Loane, arrived at Spithead early yesterday morning from the Thames, and, after embarking some naval supernumeraries, was under orders to proceed thence to Ascension. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Captain Henry Harvey to the Eclipse, vice Capt. Moore ; Commander Thomas H. Boycs, to the Impregnable ; and Navigating Lieut. George J Tomlin to the Eclipse ; the lion. Maurice A. Bourke, W. C. S. Hathorn, 11. W. Target, and W. Corbett, midshipmen, to the Forte. THE AMERWAIV ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. This association held its seventeenth meeting at Chicago, Aug. 5. Among the papers read were— The Boulder Field of Cedar county, lowa, by Pro fea3or Rush Emery ; the Discovery of Cretaceous Rocks in Guthrie county, lowa, by Dr. 'White, State geologist of lowa ; on the Crania of Bothe rium and Castorides, by J. W. Foster ; The Stra tigraphical Relations of the Fossil Horse in the United States, by Col. Charles Whittlesey ; The Botany, Mineralogy, and Geology of Mount Mansfield, Vermont, by Professor James Hyatt ; The Heritable Features of the North American Continental Plateau near the line of 35 de grees, north latitude, by Dr. C. C. Parry, of Da venport, lowa ; On a New Species of Protechnites from the Potsdam Sandstone of New York, by Professor 0. C. Marsh ; On the Progress and Pre sent Condition of the Geological Survey of Cali fornia, by Professor J. D. Whitney ; The Quebec Group in Northern New Hampshire, by Professor C. H. Hitchcock, of Amherst. At an evening meeting of the association, Dr. Gould read a eulogy on the life and services of the late Professor Alexander Dallas Bache, Chief of the United States Coast Survey, which concluded the proceedings of the second day. The first paper presented on Friday, August 7, was by Professor Charles Whittlesey of Cleveland, who read "An Abstract of the Geological Evi dences of Man's Antiquity in the United States." He said, in regard to the race of mound builders, that he had come to the conclusion they were not only a prior race to the red luau, but that there are evidences of an intermediate rata, or a race that may have been contemporary, but a people of diffe rent characteristics, a different state of advance ment in the arts, particularly in agriculture, and especially different in reference to their military character. There are fortified points unquestion ably military, but entirely different from the works on the Ohio river, not extensive, but with no evidence that the people were agriculturists. They intrenched themselves in strong positions, where they were pro tected by bluffs and near ravines. The works all show a people who were anticipating attacks from abroad, or else who were in the habit of attacking each other. There are no evidences that this people were great in the arts of agriculture. The table lauds of Ohio have a belt of country destitute of works, and which does not appear to have been occupied. On the northern streams that run south of Ohio into the Mississippi and discharge themselves into the Tennessee, Cumberland, and White Rivers, and so on to the Gulf of Mexico, very extensive ancient works are found, but they are entirely different ; they are more permanent, and they seem to be de signed to different objects. Some are evidently de voted to the purposes of religion, with here and there fortifications and works showing some density of population and great labour. As a rule these evidences are of a people highly religious and de voted to agricultural pursuits, the implements found exhibiting some nearness to the ornamental. In this district he thought the relics did not denote a military people. He then proceeded to recite the instances where remains have been found. 1. The refuse shell heaps on the shore from New Orleans to Florida. These do not show any great antiquity, but that there was a population here, similar in point of character to that the existence of which has been traced iu Europe. In this location implements have been found showing a different age of man, principally of the flint and stone age. 2. The discovery of flint arrows in Missouri, beneath the skeleton of a mastodon, in the ancient alluvial formation. This he considered to be an evidence of human existence, cotemporary with the mastodon. 3. A flint knife found in Kansas beneat'a stratified gravel and clay, at a depth of 13 or 14 feet. 4. In a cave near El g in, Ohio, three skeletons and two crania were discovered. There were found here charcoal, reptiles, and birds, and a mass of bones, and at the bottom three skeletons laid out horizontally. These have been examined, and have been declared to be the skeletons of Indians that had been there two thousand years. 5. When a spring at Sara toga was cleaned, there was found, at the depth of nine feet of muck and seven feet of tufa, and, again two used. sed f . e et i b r e . said that muck was ,ui , G al r o a g ha that appeared to have been de posited above the log 4,840 years ago and that the people who used it were Indians who wore moc casins. 6. Near the falls of St. Lawrence (Brock ville) copper tools were found at a depth of fourteen feet, with charcoals and skeletons, radiating from a common centre, the heads forming the central point. lie understood these tools to belong to the race of mound builders. 7. In a cave near Louis ville there have been discovered a large number of skeletons, of which the crania were not procured in condition so that the race could be determined. There were, however, some implements which be long to the race of the red men, such as axes and knives, going to confirm the idea that the race has occupied this country a long time. 8. Pot tery has been discovered on Ashley river, near Charleston, of the same age as the mastodon. 9. On the Florida reefs there had been found a frag ment of a human jaw with one tooth. This had been calculated to have been there ten thousand years. There is another case which, if true, car ries us still further back. Along the valley of the Mississippi for about two hundred miles is what may be called the loess formation, which he con sidered identical or coternporary with that of the loess of the Rhine. In this are bones of the masto don and other animals, and among them portions of human bone, which were not taken from their place. If it be true that this was a genuine bone of a human being, it would carry us back as far as any of the European discoveries, for the discovery of human remains in the tertiary is now denied, so that none have been found but in some member of the drift formation, or something more recent. Dr. J. W. Foster, of Chicago, and Professor Blake, of California, followed on the same subject. They agreed with Professor Whittlesey that the place of man in the creation is much earlier than that usually given him, and that the age cf the mound builders should be fixed much further back than the six thousand years commonly allotted as the age of the human race. They enlarged upon the evidences of civilization among this ancient race, and showed, by exhibiting examples of their work, that they were not only much further advanced in the arts than the red man, but that the form of the features and the outline of the face were very dif ferent from those of the more recent race. Others followed who were sceptical about the antiquity of the remains. Meetings were held is the evening by sections. In section A au interesting paper was read by Pro fessor 0. A. Stoddard, ou the hot term of July, 1868. The general features of the hot period were given, its intensity, long continuance, the belt of country in which it was most mark2d, the unu3ual moistness of the atmosphere during the whole term, its apparent origin and progress westward. There was no explanation attempted, but reference was 1 R~ - k LAW AND POLICE. VALUE OP A TooTlr.—At the Dudley County Court, a Mrs. Barnett sued a Mrs. Baker for £5 damages, for an assault. The action arose out of a quarrel within the pre cincts of the court. The parties had been before the judge in a summons case on a previous occasion, when his Honour decided against Mrs. Baker, who no sooner got out of the court than she struck the plaintiff and knocked her tooth out. His Honour gave judgment for the amount claimed. MURDEROUS ASSAULT WITH AN AXE.-At the Black burn Police•court, a lodging-house keeper, named William Thompson, was brought up in custody, charged with murderously assaulting Richard Hodgson, a weaver, about midnight on Saturday. An altercation took place, which ended in the prisoner rushing at Hodgson, and striking him in the centre of the forehead with an axe, inflicting a terrible wound, from which the blocd flowed in copious streams. The skull was fractured, and the injury of such a nature as to seriously endanger life. The prosecutor was unable to appear, and as the surgeon was unable to say when he could be present, or what the result of the wound would be, the prisoner was remanded for a week. KNOCKING A WOMAN'S EYE OUT.—At the Liverpool Police-court, a lad named William Taylor, whose head scarcely reached the top of the dock, has been charged with assaulting a woman, named Bridget Rogers. The prisoner, while quarrelling with another lad in the street, threw at him a piece of a broken jug. The missile missed the boy, but struck the complainant in the face and knocked out one of her eyes. As the woman was in a dangerous state, the prisoner was re manded. AFFRAY WITH POACHERS.-At the County Petty Ses sions, before Mr. Thomas W. W. Browne, Samuel Rogers, alias " Harry the Traveller," a powerful-looking man of Horsehay, was brought up in custody, charged with night poaching on lands in the occupation of Mr. Thomas Sumners, of Growgreaves, in the parish of Stockton, over which Mr. IV. 0. Foster, M.P., has the right of shooting. It seemed that Botley, a watcher, with four others, was watching, and about twenty minutes to twelve heard men talking. The watchers immediately went in the direction of the sound, and on getting up to the prisoner the latter said to his brother poachers, " Stand, boys, and fight." Botley caught hold of a net, when the prisoner struck him. Penny, another watcher, came up to his assistance, and the poachers, after doing some other damage, ran away. The prisoner had nothing to say in defence, but denied striking Botley on the head with the stake. He was sen tenced to three months' imprisonment, and was required to find, at the expiration of that time, two sureties in £5 each and himself in £lO ; in default he would be further imprisoned for six months. Mr. J. C. E. Weigall offers to fit a train with Bontet's system of breaks, if any railway company will accord him the use of a train and a suitable lino of rails— which might easily be found on a branch line—and under take to pay him the cost of it in case ho succeeded in stop ing a train of thirty carriages, travelling at express speed— say forty-five miles an hour—within a distanco of 150 yards. THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES.—On Sunday last, their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince John of Denmark, and their suite, attended divine service in the church of Crathie. His Grace the Duke of Sutherland, who is on D visit to his Royal Highness at Abergeldie, was also present. The Rev. Robert Stephen, of Renfrew, preached from Ist Samuel, xxviii. 2, the last clause of the verse—" Bring me up Samuel." A grand ball was given last week at Abergeldie Castle by their Royal Highnesses. SUNDAY RECREATION IN LEEDS.—On a recent Assize Sunday in Leeds, Mr. Baron Bramwell and Mr. Justice Lush visited the exhibition, and for several hours enjoyed an inspection of the splendid art-works there collected. On the same Sunday Mr. Councillor Clapham gave a band performance of sacred music in the Leeds Royal Park, for which " offence " ho was fined £5 and costs by the local magistrates. Mr. Clapham has issued a bill, in which he says that be has during the present sum mer been compelled to pay £9l in fines (exclusive of costs) for giving performances of sacred music on Sundays. SERIOUS FIRE.—A serious fire happened on Tuesday night about 8 o'clock at Bermondsey-wall, and at midnight the flames were far from being entirely extin guished. the premises were the well-known granary and corn stores belonging to Messrs. Darnell. The ware houses stretched back to the waterside, and at one time the numerous vessels lying at the side of the wall of the Thames were exposed to imminent danger. The river floating engines, by Shand, Mason, and Co., were at cnce drafted alongside the burning property, as well as numerous engines of the metropolitan brigade and another powerful land steamer from Hewett's brewery. The granary and contents have been destroyed, and the damage is roughly estimated at £50,000. TENACITY OF LIFE IN A LAMB.—A few days since a most singular circumstance occurred at hoyden, shelving how long animal life may be sustained without food. Three weeks and three days since the flock upon a farm was counted, and one lamb found to be missing. Search was made, but nowhere could the lost one be found. Last week a well-digger was called in to inspect a dry well some 46 feet deep, which had been recently dug upon the premises, with a view of sinking it deeper, when, much to his astonishment, the long•lost lamb was found at the bottom. It had broken its shoulder, but was otherwise unhurt, and when brought to the surface immediately ran away upon three legs, and commenced feeding, apparently much delighted at its most miraculous escape. INCENDIARIS3I IN IRELAND.—TIIO Wyse family, who are the owners of extensive estates near Cork, have been made the victims of the cowardly malice of some concealed enemies, who on Sunday night kindled no less than three incendiary fires on different parts of their pro perty. The most destructive was discovered about two a.m., on Granabrahr, the estate of Mr. Francis Wyse, where three large ricks of hay, containing 130 tons, a portion of the barn, thirty tons of straw, and a large quantity of other property in the farmyard, were destroyed. Another fire at Mountlesert, the estate of Miss Anne Wyse, also destroyed an immense amount of property ; and on the farm of Mr. Edward Wyse, of Leemount, several stacks of corn were simultaneously fired. It is stated that the large crowds who assembled at each scene of conflagration showed no willingness to arrest the pro gress of the games, or to save any portion of the property.

MALTA, Aug. 27.—Her Majesty's surveying steamer Newport left for Girgenti on the 17th, con veying on an excursion to the ruins of ancient Agri gentum Mrs. and Miss Fanshawe, the wife and daughter of Rear-Admiral Superintendent Fan shawe ; Deputy Inspector of Hospitals Dr. Dom vine and wife; Mr. R. C. Legh, auditor of accounts, and wife, and Mr. Oates, the British Vice-Consul at Girgenti. She returned on the 23d last from Syracuse, with the Azov still in tow, the excur sionists being divided between the two vessels for greater personal convenience during the prevailing stifling hot weather. her Majesty's screw steam corvette Cruiser left Malta on the 22d of August for Patras, to protect the many British ships now there, some with capital in specie for the purchase of fruit for England and Holland. Her Majesty's stcamsloop Antelope arrived from Corfu on the 25th, bringing accounts from the British squadron in the Adriatic to the 18th, then getting under weigh at Trieste for Lissa, the coast of Albania, and Corfu, for which last-named port the ironclad screw steam frigate Prince Consort, which arrived from Ply mouth and Gibraltar on the 19th, has this morning taken her departure to join the Commander-in- Chief. His Italian Majesty's 40-gun steam frigate Principe Umberto arrived on the 23d from Tunis, and continues in port. The Government (hired) screw hospital ship Golden Fleece, J. Smith, commander, arrived at Spithead early yesterday morning from Annesley Bay with officers and military invalids on board, in charge of Government Staff officers. The large iron caisson constructed for the en trance to No. 4 dock at Chatham is ordered to be fitted in its place as soon as the clearance of the dock has been effected, after which the dock will be prepared for the reception of the double screw iron armour-plated turret ship Cerberus, built by the Palmer Shipbuilding Company at Jarrow-upon- Tyne, which is to be completed and fitted at Chatham. The floating iron dry dock was launched to day from the building-yard of Messrs. Campbell, Johnstone, and Co., at North Woolwich, having been constructed by that firm under Admiralty contract for service at the island of Bermuda. Yesterday morning the Ist Battalion Coldstream Guards, under the command of Col. the Hon. J. Fielding, paraded at the Sheet-street Infantry Bar racks, Windsor, for the purpose of marching by road to the metropolis. The route taken was via Datchet to llounslow-heath, which was reached early in the afternoon. The Ist Battalion on its arrival at Hounslow took possession of the camp which had been vacated in the course of the morn ing by the 2d Battalion of the same regiment. The Ist Battalion remained last night under canvas upon the heath, and this morning will march via Brent furd and Hammersmith to Chelsea. The 2d Battalion Coldstream Guards, which slept in the camp at Hounslow-heath on Monday night, paraded at about 8 o'clock. and marched from Hounslow at half-past 8, en route for Windsor, where they arrived shortly before 1 o'clock. The troops in garrison paraded yesterday morning on Woolwich-common, and were put through a series of field-day evolutions by the Commandant, Major-Gen. E. C. Warde, C. 8., B.A. Lieut.-Colonel J. W. Lovell, C. 8., has been ap pointed commanding Royal Engineer at Sheerness, succeeding Col. S. Freeth. The colonelcy of the 93d (Sutherland high landers) Regiment of Foot is vacant by the death of General Alexander Fisher Macintosh, K.H., which occurred onFriday last. The gallant general, who was in his 74th year, entered the army as cor net in the 3d Dragoon Guards in 1811, and served in the Peninsula from August, 1812, to the end of the war in 1814, including the retreat from Madrid to Salamanca and action at Alba de Tormes ; the retreat of Ciudad Rodrigo and action at San Munos ; passage of the Tormes above Sala manca and attack on the French rear-guard under General Villate ; the action at Hormasa be fore Burgos ; and the battle of Vittoria, investment of Pampeluna, action at Tarbes, attack on the French cavalry rear-guard at St. Gaudens, and battle of Toulouse. lie had received the war medal with with two clasp for Vittoria and Toulouse.

Ile had held the colonelcy of the 93d Regiment since June, 1862. Yesterday morning, at 8 o'clock, the 2d battalion Coldstream Guards, under the command of Col. Baring, paraded at the Chelsea Barracks, prior to marching by road to Windsor. Shortly after eight o'clock the regiment, headed by their band, left Chelsea, and marched by way of Hammersmith and Breutford to Hounslow heath, which was reached soon after noon, where the troops halted for the day and night. A detachment of the Military Train, under the command of Capt. Keogh and Lieut. Roberts, with thirteen waggons carrying camp equipage for the Guards, quitted Aldershott Camp between 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning, and marched to Hounslow, a distance of about 24 miles, where they met the Coldstream Guards. Another detachment of the Military Train, consisting of four waggons with provisions and stores, and an ambulance waggon, commanded by Lieut. Braine, left Kensington Barracks at six o'clock in the morning, and arrived at Hounslow-heath in the course of the day. Upon the arrival of the Guards tents were immediately pitched on the Cavalry exercise-ground, and a camp formed with its front towards the high road leading to London. The encampment was formed in several lines, for the security of which a front and rear guard were told off and posted. The head-quarters were near the centre of the camp. The Military Train encamped on the east of the Guards, and on the south-east were the trenches. There was an evening parade at five o'clock. Yesterday the proceedings and finding of the general court-martial which assembled at Chatham so far back as the 30th of June, under the presi dency of Col. R. 11. Crofton, Royal Artillery, for the trial of private Arthur Yeomans, of the 109th Bombay Infantry, were promulgated to the troops in Chatham garrison, the prisoner having been kept in confinement ever since his trial. The charges on which the prisoner was arraigned were for de sertion and using abusive, obscene, and threatening language towards Staff Assist.•Surg. F. Ferguson, M D., at the time he was undergoing his medical inspection. Since he has been in the service the prisoner has been a very bad character, and has several times been tried by a court-martial, besides being branded with the letter " D." The Court sentenced him to be dismissed from her Majesty's service with ignominy, to be branded with the letters "8.C.," and to undergo five years' penal servitude. The Ilighflyer, 21, screw (unarmoured wooden) corvette, 1,161. tons, 250-horse power, Captain Thomas M. Sabine Pasley, recently returned to England from foreign service, was paid out of com mission at Portsmouth yesterday, under the super vision of Capt. W. C. Chamberlain, commanding the steam reserve at the port. The ship was put out of commission in very excellent condition. She was commissioned by Captain Pasley, sou of Ad miral Sir Thomas Sabine Pasley, Port Admiral and Naval Commander in Chief at. Portsmouth, on the 13th of December, 1861, for service on the East India station. In the Persian Gulf she was en gaged in coast operations against the Wakasses. She was next employed in the suppression of the slave trade on the coast of Africa, during which time she captured nineteen dhows and liberated five hundred and eighty-six :slaves. During the latter part of her commission she was employed in sending on stores to Annesley Bay for the Abyssinian Expedition, and remained there - until her receipt of orders to return to England, where she arrived at Spithead, after a good passage, on the 12th of August. Since her arrival at Portsmouth £2,290 sterling hz - ,0 been paid on board: in part liquidation of prize money due to her officers and crew. The unarmoured composite-41U gunboat Cracker made to the changed direction of the Gulf Stream, and the possibility that that might have contributed to this result. This paper was followed by two others : On Phosphoric Acid a constituent of Butter, by Professor E. N. Iforsford ; and on the princi ples of Statistics as applied to the Census, by Prof. F. B. Ilough. In section B papers were read on the following subjects:—Notice of some new vertebrate remains from the tertiary of New Jersey, by Professor 0. C. Marsh ; the Physical Geography of the Conti nent of North America, by Professor J. S. New bery ; and the Geological Section of Ohio, by E. B. Andrews. The American Association for the Advancement of Science finally adjourned on Wednesday. Its next meeting is to be held at Salem, August 18, 18G9. The following officers were elected :—Presi dent, Colonel John W. Foster, of Chicago ; vice president, Professor Ogden N. Reed, of Columbia College, New York ; general secretary, Professor J . C. Marsh, of New haven ; treasurer, Professor Flynn, of Philadelphia. TIIE PRESIDENTIAL ELECHON. (From the Anglo-American Times) Iv. Indiana has been "gerrymandered," so that the majority of the Democrats are grouped by them selves in a district devoted to Seymour and Blair, while the others are strengthened for Grant and Colfax. There is " a ludicrous lack," as a corre spondent says, of symmetry in the form of some districts, but symmetry was not what the Republi can party aimed at in redistricting Indiana. What they wanted was to group the votes, so as to secure the majority for their candidates, other considera tions being ruthlessly thrown over, and we fear will be in other States besides. The word derives its origin from a Mr. Gerry, once Democratic Gover nor of Massachusetts, and afterwards Vice-Presi dent of the United States. Desirous of perpetuat ing the power of his party, he hit upon the happy expedient of mapping out the districts so as to neu tralize the opposing majority. All the towns about to throw a large excess of votes against the Demo crats were, if possible, brought into the same dis trict, there to be wasted, and this skilfully done, as the tide is likely to run one way in particu lar localities, neutralizes a large majority. The district - thus " gerrymandered" would look like a bottle of ink dropped on the paper, streaming away in one direction, solid at another, and opening out in an unaccountable manner at a third point. Districts thus delineated were named after the originator, and the verb to " gerrymander" was added to the vocabulary. General Grant has had a quiet time lately at Galena, Illinois, where he has smoked the pipe of peace. Speaker Colfax remains among the mountains of Colorado. A despatch had been received from him dated August 6, end of track Union Pacific Railway :—" 'We are at the end of the Pacific Railroad, 1,210 miles west of Chicago, and 300 east of Salt Lake. The road is graded for a hundred and fifty miles between this place and Salt Lake, and they are laying the track at the rate of four miles a day. This afternoon the rails were laid on the continental divide be tween the Atlantic and Pacific." We mentioned some time since that Mr. Colfax's family accom panied him, for although he is a widower without children, his mother, with the two Miss Matthews, a niece of Senator Wade, Miss Bowles, and Mrs. Matthews went with him. The gentlemen of the party are Lieut.-Governor Bross, Mr. Samuel Bowles, Mr. Matthews, and Mr. Todd, the Speaker's private sec retary. They met with an enthusiastic reception in Ne braska, and had made speeches on their way to Colo rado both at Council Bluffs and at Omaha. Ho ratio Seymour has established his head-quarters at the Butterfield House, Utica, where the Demo cratic State Committee of New York assembled on the 13th inst., and called the State Convention to meet at Albany, September 2. Governor Seymour was introduced at a meeting of the various Demo cratic Committees, and tersely expressed his con fidence in the success of the party at the coming election. He had been serenaded on the 13th inst. by the Conservative veteran soldiers and sailors to whom be was introduced by General James M'Quade. Again he asserted his knowledge of the character of the services, having given more than 15,000 commissions to officers. He does not ex plain what has become of the other thousand, 16,000 being the number he had announced before. I pledge myself," said Mr. Seymour, "in whatever station I may be placed, to struggle for the restoration of that Union for which you have periled your lives in the contest of arms ; and in our struggle for constitutional rights we are strengthened in our convictions of duty by the fact that a majority of our soldiers uphold us in this political contest." The most active of the four appears to be General Blair. He made a speech at St. Joseph, Missouri, when, in allusion to what General Sherman had said, he assured the crowd they should not be insulted by him by being called " fellows," or with the advice to throw a man into the river who differed from the sentiments expressed, as he understood had recently been done by a distinguished military gentleman. His adversaries assumed too dictatorial a tone to wards the people. " They denounce me as a revo lutionist—say that I wish to inaugurate another rebellion, because I say it is time for the rule of the bayonet to be checked. The people of the State of Missouri and of the whole country are tired of being bound to obey the dictates of their military com manders. We believe it is time for the will of the people to be carried out. This will be done. (A. voice—" We'll fix that in November.") Yes, we will settle that in November, and we will do it peaceably by the ballot." He went on to state that " if the fragmentary Congress and the carpet-bag gers acting under the Rump are allowed they will degrade the white man below the negro. Against this iniquity the people have risen in their might everywhere, from Maine to California, and have by their votes said they will not have this negro su premacy kept up in this country. They will not be shaken in this purpose to turn aside the bayonet that is still kept pointed at the throats of the white men of the South. Neither will the Radical party in its hopeless minority be able to defeat the will of the people. I feel an abiding confidence in the suc cess of the Democratic party of to-day, because it is right." General Blair was on his way to Wash ington to consult with his family as to the future. On the 13th instant a Democratic mass meeting to ratify the nomination of Seymour and Blair was held at Faneuil Hall, Boston. There were more than 4,000 people inside, and about 5,000 outside, who could not obtain admission. Colonel Charles G. Green presided, and spoke a few words on the bright omens of the future. Josiah G. Abbott made thespeech of the evening. He defended the Tammany Convention, saying that Joe Brown, of Georgia, a worse Secessionist than Wade Hampton, Forrest, and the others, was heartily welcomed by the Radicals at Chicago. Of course he dwelt on Republican ex travagance, their efforts to perpetuate their power, regardless of the patient and suffering people. E. C. Bailey, of the Boston Herald, also addressed the meeting, urging with vigour the necessity of a change in the administration of national affairs. His remarks were confined to the financial question and were vociferously cheered. Remarks were also made by James A. Keith, Charles Levi Woodbury, ex-Mayor IVightman, T. J. Gargan, P. A. Collins, and others. The riot we reported last week in Richmond, Virginia, arose from some incendiary speeches by Hunnicutt, wherein Seymour and Blair were de scribed as rebels, desirous of re-enacting Slavery, which would be the result of Democratic success, and be followed by a massacre of the negroes. The blacks, thus aroused, resolved to prevent Democratic meetings; and, after cutting down a Democratic flag, they attacked a Conservative ratification meet ing, hurling bricks at the speakers ; but the whites, being prepared, drove off the assailants, mortally wounding one negro, and slightly wounding several more. in Raleigh, North Carolina, a dis turbance resulted from an attack on a De mocratic procession, which was only prevented from being serious by the Governor's precau tions. General Grant, in reviewing some troops at Denver while he was in Colorado, found that the soldiers carried a Seymour and Blair banner, and ou his way back to Galena, when he arrived at Carlinsville, Illinois, he was saluted at the rail way station by cheers for Seymour and Blair, and it is even said that he was insulted on the occasion by an " unmannerly ruffian," which shows that the campaign is growing hot, and the sooner the candi dates settle down quietly in their native villages, to be no more seen till they emerge in victory or de feat, the better for every one concerned. STORIES OF 711 E CANDIDATES. The New York TVorll gives the following as Grant's speech at St. Joseph, Missouri :—" General Grant, accompanied by his poor relation, Dent, and by General Sheridan, made an unimportant and lengthy address upon national affairs. We give the oration in full : GRANT'S ANNUNCIATION OF HIS POLICY. I return my sincere thanks for this hearty recep- tion. lIIS OPINION ON RECONSTRUCTION.

I thank you, but I cannot speak to you this even ing. At this point the eloquent gentleman concluded his exhaustive and convincing address, and the audience dispersed with three tremendous cheers for Seymour and Blair." A denial had been extracted from Mr. Seymour's Secretary that he is or ever has been a holder of United States Bonds. If it had been proved that he largely held such securities, his gold redemption sentiments would have been ascribed to selfishness, and he would have been shown up to the Western green-back Democrats as one of the rich and pampered gang who desire to live on the earnings of hard-working men. The contrary being the case, it is said that the nation in the hour of its extre mity appealed in vain to this wealthy man for pe cuniary help. THE DECREASE IN NATIONAL WEALTH. The New York Nation, broadly asserting the decrease of wealth in the United States, has pub lished a series of articles maintaining the position, and refuting the objections of those who disputed it. No other American paper carries the same weight in England, and its facts have found here ready credence and circulation. In a former num ber we adverted to the first article,. and we now propose to summarize the subject as the Nation deals with it. A nation consists of a multitude of households, each, having the same requirements as the whole. These are, mainly—food, shelter, clothing, warmth, light, and entertainment ; the quantity, depending upon the wealth, social posi tion, education, and taste, vary accordingly. The households may be divided into classes, each having as nearly as possible the same wants.' Statistics setting forth the similarity of requirements would surprise society, and it may broadly be said that in the average American household one half the income goes in food, one-fourth in rent, and one-fourth in all other wants. This is strikingly borne out by the census returns, for though imperfect, and not giving a correct esti mate of the-employment .of labour, they show that one-half the capital consists of farm stock and imple ments to produce food, while nearly one-fourth consists of city and town dwellings, with household furni ture constituting the item of house rent. The con clusion is that wealth, national as well as individual, consists of what satisfies the wants, of which food stands first, and to show a diminution in that is, to show that the most important half of the national wealth is diminished. It is well known that food and house rent have risen so exorbitantly that although more is spent upon them less is procured, and of inferior quality. But though poorer in the essentials of national wealth than six years ago the Republic is richer in railroal3, in iron mines and foundries, iu coal mines an 1 cotton spindles, in lambs' wool and paper money. The reason is that the war, protection, and paper money have disturbed the national course of industry, changing productions from those essential, to those for the moment most profitable to the individual. The war requirements, aided by the tariff, increase 1 the iron, coal, &c., but brought about a decrease in the production of food. The disturbance produced by the inconvertible paper currency prevented the evils from being readily seen, but they are now felt in the strikes of workmen, the stoppage of mills, and the disorganization of labour. Mechanics who can not pay for their food and rent, at the present rate of wages, high as they are, strike for an increase. Employers, who cannot manufacture at a profit on account of the high wages, combine to lower the scale, and, failing, shut up their works. The hands thrown out of employment fall back on the farm, and the mill remains idle, the coal mine closed, and both, at least for the time, valueless. The Nation foretels, from a simple observation of the laws of trade, that before next March one-fourth the spindles of New England and one-third the hammers of Pennsylvania will be idle. A gentleman from Illinois forwarded to the paper the stock statistics of the State to controvert these and the startling statements of the preceding article. In seven years, according to him, every hundred Illinois citi zens had gained 31 horses, half a mule, and 26 sheep, and lost 12 cattle and 7 hogs, and he balances the one against the other. During this period an immense amount of private indebtedness was paid off, and although without the figures to show how much, he states that each citizen could assume his share of the national debt, and be in a better condition than in 18G0. In reply the editor expresses surprise at such returns from Illinois, for if asked to single out one State that could show a large increase in wealth despite the war he would have named Illinois. If the most prosperous agricultural State in the Union, untouched by war, has barely held its own, what was to be expected from Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and the whole South stripped of every moving thing during years of war In the number of August 6 the Nation makes a para graph from this letter the text for a further article, desiring to show wherein lies the fallacy and the danger of the fallacy that there is any similarity between private indebtedness and national debts. 'le payment of a debt does not necessarily prove increased wealth. A man owning a farm worth $lO,OOO, with stock and crops worth $5,000 more, mortgaged for $5,000, is worth neither more nor less than $lO,OOO ; for if he sells the stock and crop for $5,000 and pays off the mortgage, he is no richer. But he is richer if he saves money and effects this without selling his stock and crop. Now what the Nation believes is that the Illinois farmer has discharged his private indebtedness by the sale of his stock, induced to do so by the high prices resulting from the war, and having paid his debts he is in the former, not the latter position. Passing such questions as the means of escape for the mortgagee furnished by the Legal-Tender Act, which enormously reduced the farmer's liability to the Eastern creditor, the Nation proceeds to discuss whether the private indebtedness of Illinois or of the States generally is less in 1868 than it was in 1860. It asserts that the form only is changed, the credi tors now being the Eastern Banks instead of the manufacturers. During the last three years private indebtedness to the banks has increased nearly $160,000,000 over 30 per cent., a share of which falls to the lot of Illinois. But turning from private indebtedness, a subject extremely difficult to investigate, the general wealth of the State is shown to have decreased. The taxable valuation of its total property in 1860 was equal to $214 in gold per head of the total population. In 1866 the latest figures, the return gives only, in spite of in flation and high prices, per head $lB3 in currency. The State debt amounted in 1860 to $6 per in habitant ; in 1866 to $4, but the diminution is more apparent than real, for the debts of local organiza tions, cities, and townships have increased enor- I mously. Estimating the population of the United States in 1866 at thirty-five millions, and the debt at twenty-five hundred million., each citizen's bur den is over seventy-one dollars. Supposing, as the Illinois gentleman suggested, that each should per sonally assume his share, then, instead of being worth $2OB in coin, as in 1860, each inhabitant of Illinois is but worth in 1866 $lOB in currency. Other States show similar results : the property de clined in value in lowa per head, being from $294 to $285, increase of debt from 50c. to $1 ; Michigan from $395 to $383, increase of debt from $5 to $7 ; Wisconsin from $237 to $lB6, increase of debt from 15c. to $3 ; giving an average o; reduction from $285 in gold in 1860 to $259 in currency in 1866, with an increase in the State indebtedness from $3 to $l. These four States, removed from the theatre of war, producing the articles which have mainly risen in price during the last six y e ars, arc selected ; and the result is the more astonishing when the fact is stated that not a cent. of the local debts of cities or counties is counted, nor a dollar of the national burden. The Nation appears to have been very busy gathering its statistics during the period it has been making these remark able statements. Of all the statistics it was able to obtain only New York and Minnesota showed an increase of wealth, and Minnesota alone, that, coupled with a diminution of State Debt, the wealth having increased from $207 to $229, and the State Debt decreased from $l5 to $lO per head. The increase in New York is from $372 to $433 of average wealth ; but the State Debt is increased from $BB to $135. With the exception of Cali fornia, and perhaps of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and some of the New England States, could complete statistics be obtained, they would all undoubtedly show far more unfavourable results. Connecticut , Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Virginia have largely in creased their State Debts, while the reduction in pro perty value in the Southern States is all but fabulous-70 per cent. in Arkansas, 30 in Ken' tucky, 45 in Louisiana, 7 in Missouri, 90 in South Carolina, and 50 in Texas and Virginia. The Nation sees in these undeniable facts, not to be ridiculed by ignorant pertness, but to be taken into account by serious men, the cause of strikes, del trade, restiveness under taxation, and the daily in creasing talk about repudiation. The obiect of the writer is evident, for he tacks his moral as the sequel to all his able and exhaustive arguments. Ile maintains that a fatal delusion fostered by a pa per currency has taken possession of the national mind , which should be removed—a delusive wealth, which covers real impoverishment, and leads not merely to boasting, but to idleness and extravagance, whi ch would instantly be corrected if the nation wereali ve to its true position. One of the national fallacies most widely current is that the diminution of indi vidual indebtedness is a set-off to the increase of national or State debt. There is this differenc e, that individual debt, when honestly contracted , represents existing property, while national debt rarely represents other than property destroyed ()r not in existence. A merchant buys from a manu facturer, giving his note for the amount which re: presents the goods, or if sold the money received or due for them. When the merchant ascertains what he is worth, he counts his goods, his money 111 hand, and that due, deducting therefrom what h e owes, and if he pays, or if he does not pay, the e° debts, he is worth the same amount, and that only So with the manufacturer ; but with the nation th e case is different. The Government has bought from New England manufacturers and Western fanner s an immense quantity of goods on credit, giv ing notes which are represented by the pay, the fe e ',. the clothes, all spent on the soldiers ; by the hors es destroyed, by the ammunition expended. rrii?,, notes remain, but the property they represent d° gone for ever. The people owe these notes, but the people, when taking stock, deduct the amount of these notes from their total property ? In esti mating his wealth, who deducts his share of th national debt? The holders count them as par t of . their property, but the givers do not deduct the ol from theirs. Tlie more then issued, the greater _ seeming wealth, for all who hold count them as part of their riches, while none deduct them las . part of their debts; and this evident delusion leno the country into the belief that it is richer by O r e amount of the National Debt. The evil of the se lf : deception in this belief which disguises the nation s improvement is, that it encourages the boastful, reek less extravagance which the Nation says is rzpid i l sapping the very foundation of the national re: ductiveneas. If the debt were distributed to eac h individual, taking four as the family attached , every male adult, it would burden the head of e ac h household with a liability of $355. Were this drat- bated in accordance with wealth, and the coun try as rich as in 1860, then every property ho lder would be sixteen per cent. poorer, or at the esti mated ratio of positive decline iu wealth his s ha re would now represent a tax of more than 20 per ceot, ~,o , These facts and figures have attracted atte eti b v a t They have been generally called in question, nowhere authoritatively contradicted.
