But we have stood, and I trust that for ever we will stand, your friends, warm, sincere, willing, and solicitous to be by your side if you at any time should be in serious trouble." The feeling to which Mr. JOHNSON gave expression is extending in both countries. In America the bitterness lef by the war towards a nation the North held t( have sided with their enemies is dying away, an' is in no small measure soothed by American actiot; in the Fenian conspiracy, for every candid citizen ii . his heart acknowledges that he has no more right t( express alou.l his sympathy with those engagec in fomenting a rebellion in Irelan 1 and an invasioi of Canada than the English had openly to sympa IWz•c and surreptitiously to aid the Southern Coi. federaey. Mr. JOHNSON declares he could not a.. otherwise than as a messenger of peace, with )(I viol sting the instructions of his Government. Tlii he plainly said in his last speech in America, whe. his fellow-citizens of Baltimore bid him " Got. speed" on his missbn. His first words in his firs: speech in England are to reiterate this. In the fac( of such testimony to the nature of his mission it is vain for others to assert the PRESIDENT'S hostility and that of Mr. SEWARD to England.. Every ac of the United States proves the bent of the pcoph towards peace. The army will ere long be reduced to its old dimensions—that is, it will almost cease to exist. When the war broke out it could not eves furnish a pivot for the people 'to rally around, and the armies had to be extemporized. If the United States intended war even as a remote contingency. it would not annihilate its army or sell off and dis mantle its fleet, and its acts are the substance while its talk is the mere shadow. Those who be lieve that blood is thicker than water can easily be enlightened regarding the feeling of the leaders in the United States. SEYMOUR N a descendant of an English aristocratic family ; GRANT is claimed by a Highland clan ; so is BLAIR ; and COLFAX is of an old and thorough English Puritan family. Whatever may be the prevailing sentiment to which such men give expression, they turn to Great Bri tain as their fatherland, with a feeling which would come out more strongly in the difficulty or danger of that country than in her prosperity. In aid of this we are happy to perceive the increase in the tide of English emigration. The paragraph we elsewhere publish shows that, during last month, of the 8,333 emigrants who sailed for the United States from Liverpool, 3,007 were English, being exactly double the number of Irish, and considerably more than the total of the foreigners. This is a cheery sign, soon likely to produce good fruit. American enmity is mainly due to the cessation of English and the overflow of Irish emigration. If the Irish reservoir be dried up, and English emigration pours into America, a beneficial effect will rapidly be felt. Whatever means tend to promote the union of these kindred nations should be hailed with pleasure by both ; and in the Minister's speech at Sheffield, and the revival of English emigration, we see the happiest omens of a growing and strengthening alliance.

(From the Anglo-American Times.) His Excellency REVERDY JOHNSON attended the annual feast of the Sheffield Cutlers' Company last Thursday, and, as the honoured guest, delivered the speech of the evening. Its tone will every where in this empire be received with the utmost satisfaction; for it spoke of a lasting friendship where England most desires to be friend?. Making all due allowance for the occasion, enough remains to assure every reader as well as every hearer that the American Minister is a messenger of peace. For no other people do the Americans entertain a kinder feeling, exclaimed Mr. JOHNSON, who, per haps, as well as any mau alive, knows his country men. 'We are, in fact, he continued, "by origin and institutions one people; we have a common name, a kindred blood, similar privileges, and equal protection. Our political institutions are fashioned from yours, with a deep and undying at tachment to human liberty in their foundation. In our hand—l mean in our joint hand—that liberty will live for ever." His Excellency then alluded to the civil war (many assert that it is impossible for an American to make a speech or deliver a lecture without such an allusion) as an inheritance through slavery left to America by their common ancestors. lie next touched on the Presidential election, declaring from his personal knowledge of both the candidates that., whichever shall be the choice of the people, "You will Lind in him a friend of England." We are glad to have Mr. JOHNSON'S opinion on this subject, for many have said that Gen. GRANT is a goal hater ; that, disgusted with England's course dating the civil war, he conceived towards her a bitter dislike, which he would take an early opportunity of show ing, if elected to the Presidential Chair. Turning to Lord WIIARNCLIFFE, the Minister continued, " Your father was a guest of mine for some four or five days some four or five:years ago. It was during the session of a Convention for the nomination of a candidate for the Presidency. He was doing me the honour to stay with me, and he expressed a hope that we should stand together. He was obligel to leave me, and I received a telegraphic communica tion from him from Philadelphia, after which he wrote me a long letter, saying that he had never heard the mune of • tho putlevatuz Aorablated, and 4, A YANKEE'S" PREDIC7ION. The Spectator last Saturday published a letter from its American correspondent, "A Yankee," who, we regret, has not lately spoken from that pulpit—to borrow a phrase of his own. We pre sume " A Yankee" was annoyed with the comments of the Spectator on his former letters. Indeed there was internal evidence before he ceased to write that he was boiling up into a state of indignation. The Spectator's ignorance of the value of States' Rights has attracted him again into its columns, and the importance it attaches to his commu nications is clear from the dignity it accords of " Special" Correspondent. It does not re quire the critical acumen of the Spectator to discover how able a writer he is, and as a tra velled, highly cultivated, and genuine Yankee hi.- letters carry weight. In substance he says that the Republicans will be defeated in the Presidential election unless GRANT'S popularity can carry them to a success, because their platform infringes on States' Rights. The oue idea which pervades American society alike in Massachusetts and in Ohio, in the Carolinas and in Louisiana, is States' Rights—the sovereignty of the State in a municipal capacity in contradistinction to the sovereignty of the Federal Government in a national capa city. Were the angel GABRIEL nominated on a platform destructive of States' Rights he would have no chance of an election, nor even the "Fallen Angel," for whom it is said "the Demo crats would vote to a man if he received a regular nomination," and declaring the Chicago platform to encroach on States' Rights, he believes in a Re publican defeat. Glancing over the articles of their platform, we find the first declares it to be the duty of the Government to sustain the new Consti tutions of the Reconstructed States, which secure equal political and civil rights to all, while the second maintains the guarantee of Congress of equal suffrage to every loyal man in the South. So jealous are the people in preserving States' Rights that they consider even this an infringe ment, the Reconstruction laws being a direct in fraction, which will turn thousands who fought to maintain the Union in support of the Demo crats who uphold these privileges. The war settled two questions in the negative—Whether the South was justified in the invasion of States' Rights by extending their "domestic institution" into States where the people rejected it ; and whether the Southern States, failing in that, had the right to secede. The North fought for States' Rights as involved in the first question, the South as involved in the second question. But" A Yankee " shows how mistaken is the impression in England that the South strove to maintain States' Rights in their integrity against a usurping majority of the North. A Federal Government of Sovereign States is that under which the citizens have hitherto lived, and that they intend to maintain. A central Sovereignty might be a better form of Government ; but it is not, and never has been, the Government of the United States, and, what is more, whe.ler GRANT or SEY MOUR be elected, it never will be, at least while the people are in their present moss. States' Rights alone preserve the Republic from the despotism of a majority, under whose rule the minority would have no rights the majority were bound to respect. To intrench on States' Rights is to introduce a total change in the G)vernment, equally obnoxious to the New Englander and to the Southerner, the Western man and the Californian. The platform, then, which in the slightest degree proposes to invade rights so jealously guarded, is opposed to the opinions of the citizens, and will heal to the defeat of the party putting down such a plank. We grant the strong feeling in favour of States' Rights ; we admit that a change in the municipal Sovereignty of the States would revolutionize the Republic; and we allow that the interference of Congress in the domestic affairs of the Southern States is in a high degree objectionable. But the circumstances are peculiar, the necessity over whelming, for bow otherwise could the objects of the war be secured? Tais question is always evaded by the men who can-le an the action of Congress. If the Southern States insisted on ex tending the " domestic institntioa" into States which rejected it; to make the North a hunting ground for slave-catchers, and •failing that fou ; h , for secession, the North has a right to intr )duce the Free-soil law of their States into the South. This the Southerners do not dispute ; at leist they bow to the necessity and accept it. Bat they urtia tain that there the power of the canqueAng North should cease, and that they should leave the Negro in the South in the same position he holds in the North, where he is a free man, but not a citizen. The moderate Republican, in reply, says—Yes : could the position of the Negro be secured in the South as in the North under the Northern system. hereia lies the difficulty. Sappoing all die- PRIM... 4d. STAMPED bd abilities and troops withdrawn from the S)uthern Mates, precisely the same men would rule tow as before the war. In the North the Negro is of no cousecpence, and he is de lied the suffrage in many States simply from irejudice,, not that he could in the slightest degree 1() him ; but this is of the less consequence, as, al houghThe is socially obnoxious, th is neither the !accost nor the desire to harM him. In the South ee c tse is quite different, for the mate! ial prosperity if these St Iles almost wh )lly depea Is on the ,dis ositioa the n .gro will evince to work, and in tie of disinclinaqon oe his part the power of ompelsion to make him do so to be place I s the halls of the wi l ies is the difficulty. f the rule of the Southern planter were un- Itecked, the Northern belief is that SA!,I3O'S m•litioa would soon resemble that of a slave. Wherefore the Northern man maintains that he oust either be "a citizen or a chattel." Tiis the Democrat disputes, asserting that he has long main nined a position which is neither the one nor the )ther in the N attwra Sates. Bat why did not " A Yankee" give the reason, which he mast have 'tnowa so well, that in the North it was no one's uterest to interfere with him, while in the South he vas the vital question. Granting the sacredness of Mates' R;ghts, there are other rights more sacred still; and if the declaratioi oa whic'a the Re oublic is based, that all anon are elual and en itled to the pursuit of happiness, is true, it must werri le the right of a State t ) hell in servitu le a race of human beings, or to enact laws compelling labour. A glance at the growth of the Federation shows that however tenaciously held, these rights save neither in a great majority of instances been sanctioned by ancient usage, nor acquired and sanc tified by the blood of the former dwellers on the soil. Only thirteen States wrested indepen dence from the mother country, but there are now 37 States ; that is, a number almost double of the original has been added to the Union. As no Provision existed under the old Confederation for • forming and admitting new States it had to be created, and 24 having adopted, assented to, and ratified the Constitution, have became, integral parts of the Union. Whenever a territory within the jurisdiction of the Republic shall have attained a sufficient • population either of citizens of the Union or immigrants from foreign countries it be comes admissible into the Union with equal rights, privileges, and powers with the original States. Hence the 13 have been swamped by districts of whose existence the inhabitants who fought the War of Independence were unaware. Before these territories attained to the dignity of States the power of Congress was exclusive and universal. The Governor, Secretary, United States Attorney, and Marshal are appointed for four years by the PRESIDENT, and all laws passed by the elected Council and Representatives, though ap proved by the Governor, are null and voi I if dis approved by Congress. It is true that each terri tory is represented by a delegate in the Congres 4ional House of Representatives, with the right to take part in a debate wherein his constituents are interested, but without a vote. When such a ter ritory rises into 'the dignity of a State it acquires rights all are bound to respect—but such rights do not override the very principle whereon the Re public has been built. The Spectator's correspondent maintains the absolute sovereignty of the State in all matters not delegated to the Federal Govern ment, and hence its right is indisputable to pass any law regulating suffrage or property, no matter how absurd. Theoretically this is true, but prac tically it is not; for no community eould run riot, and enact unjust and absurd laws, , without affecting their neighbours, who when injured have the right to interfere. If " A Yankee" wants a proof of this, he has it in his own illustration. The Southern States chose to cherish what they called a " domestic institution," which, in truth, militated against Republican ideas of man's right. That institution was as old as the settlement of the coun try, the negroes and the Puritans being landed is America in the same year. Yet, with all the weight attached to ancient usage, and to property inherited from the forefathers of the existing citi zens, it was unable to withstand the contact, and was abolished by a war which liberated the slaves almost by annihilating the masters. If any State passes laws which militate against equity and the general welfare, States'. Rights will not pro tect that State from a Federal interference, be cause the national welfare is of greater importance than the right of any State, and will crush it if they come into collision. The position is . curious, for the general sense is against negro equality, yet that sense is even more decidedly opposed to any thing savouring of slavery, and the problem is how to secure the rights of the black man without placing him on an equality with the white man, a proposition easier to propound than to elucidate. We have followed " A Yankee" through all his letters, and we recognize in him a thorough repre sentative of his class. He gives expression to an immense range of thought in the United States, and grasping and imbued as he is with the feel ings of a large portion of his fellow-citizens, he has boldly predicted, and has generally proved a true prophet. Whether he is right in predicting Republican defeat unless saved by GRANT will soon be shown, but he concludes his letter by stating that if the Republicans gain the Presidential election it will be in spite of their platform ; and if the Democrats, it will be sin spite of their ticket.— Anglo-ilmerican Times.

This bears out the views and opinions advocated by this paper with regard to the Chi nese. On the 19th June 147 Japanese labourers arrived at Honolulu, in the Scioto. For a long time past the Hawaiian Consul at Yokohoma, Mr. Van Reed, at the instance of the Board of Immigration, has been endeavouring to negotiate with the Japanese autho rities for permission to send to the Sandwich Islands Ja panese who might be willing to engage for a term of years on specified wages, the faith and honour of the Hawaiian Government being pledged to the protection and care of the immigrants, and to the fulfilment of the stipulations of the contract. But consent was withheld until recently, when the Tycoon's Government replied that passports would be granted to such Japanese as should enter into engagements with the Consul. Mr. Van Reed, supplied with the means, and under the authorization of the Board, proceeded at once to engage three hundred and fifty labourers, twenty of them having wives, and to charter the Scioto to carry them. At Yokohama the Japanese were eager to embark, and clamorous to be among those selected to go, and doubtless their personal condition and • earnings will be better abroad than in their own country. Under these circumstances it is hoped that this experiment may result in mutual satisfaction both to the employer and employed. These Japanese have loft their country under no written contracts. There is only the agreement of the Hawaiian Consul, as agent of the board, with the Japanese authorities, that the wages shall be $4 per month, with food, clothing, and medical attendance, and a free passage from, and return at the end of three years to Japan. They are under verbal engagements to perform the ser vice required to the Board, which has the right to assign this service to others, and is responsible for the ptyment of the wages and the faithful performance of all the stipu latons of the engagement with them on the part of their employers. It is declared that James Stephens, the head centre and chief organiser of Fenianism, h•is returned t) Paris, whore he has resumed his old profession as tetyther of languages. His brief career of glory, during which Irishmen at home and abroad were only too glad to pay tribute to him, ended with his singular escape from the Dublin prison. Whether that escape was brought about by the ingenuity of his Fenian friends, or by the design of the Government for the sake of making a better use of him, it destroyed the illusion of martyrdon, and was fatal to his influence. lie did not succeed in winning a very great place even among Irish heroes, and the sud den collapse of his fortune shows how unsubstantial was the support he professed to have when his reputation was at the highest.—Bost :n Advertiser. it is announced. that during this month negotia tions will be opened in London for concluding a postal treaty botweeu Switzerland and Great Britain, // l/ l aR, SCOTLAND AND - TIM LIBERAL PARTY. The Nonconformist gives some interesting particulars concerning the approaching contest in Scotland. Under the new Reform Act Scotland will in future return sixty instead of fifty-three members to Parliament-- eight new seats having been given to her, and two' small counties, Peebles and Selkirk, being amalgamated for Parliamentary purposes. Strange as it may appear, the appeal to the constituencies north of the Tweed is almost decided more than two months in advance of the general election. There are no less than thirty-one seats for which Liberals are likely to be returned without the semblance of a contest. Thus, in more than one-half the Scotch con stituencies the return of Liberal candidates will net even be challenged by their opponents. In sixteen other constituencies there is a prospect of a conflict, but it is Liberal against Liberal ; no Tory venturing to show his face. There are the Border Burghs, Dumfries, Dumbarton, Dundee (2), Edinburgh (2), Fifeshire, Greenock, Kilmarnock, Kirkcudbright, Leith, Linlithgow, Paisley, Stirling, and Wick. In all these places the con flict is one of persons and not of principles, and so weak is the Conservative element that it cannot even profit by division in the ranks of its foes. In three places only are the Tory candidates to have a walk over. Mr. Disraeli cannot command a single town constituency of North Britain. The remaining ten seats of Scotland will be con tested between Liberals and Tories. Assuming that four only of these constituencies will return Liberal members, the aggregate result will be as follows : Liberals unopposed Seats contested by Liberals only Scats won by Liberals (say) Tories unopposed Seats won by Tories (say) Majority for the Liberals 42 That is to say, Scotland is more likely to send to the new House of Commons fifty-one Liberals against nine Tories. In other words, seven-tenths of the entire electoral vote of a country pre-eminently Protestant will be cast in favour of the disestablishment and disendowment of the Irish Protestant State Church—so little influence has the " No Popery " bugbear among the intelligent Prgbyterians north of the Tweed ! 6- 0 MR. ROEBUCK. The Pall Mall Gazette says that Mr. Roebuck bas exceeded himself in narrowness, spite, violence of lan guage, and disregard of the position and feelings of those by whom he was surrounded. There will appear in all the New York papers the outlines of Mr. Roebuck's speech. The people will know ' that their repre sentative made a speech full of the most kindly and generous sentiments towards England, and that England responded, through Mr. Roebuck, by a coarse and unjust attack upon the political institutions of America. That is the light in which the incident will be presented to American readers. We, of course, should be amused with the notion that Mr. Roebuck can in any way be regarded as a representative of English opinion. He represents no one but an ill-regulated and cross grained member of the House of Commons, and the sentiments which be expressed, and the occasion he chose for avowing them, would be sufficient to deprive his name of all vestige of authority, except perhaps among the most ignorant class in his own consti tuency. A man has a right to his own opinion about American affairs, but he bas no right to seize the opportunity of insulting the American people in the presence of their Minister. When Sir Frederic Bruce and other Foreign Ministers were invited to attend in Congress for the purpose of hearing a funeral oration upon President Lincoln, the orator chose to enter into rude and ungracious criticisms of the countries which they represented. Every. where there was a cry of indignation. The American people were the first to condemn Mr. Bancroft. But his offence was not so great as Mr. Roebuck's, for his language was far more moderate. Mr. Bancroft only wanted to make a little political capital. Mr. Roebuck was determined to indulge his proclivities for snapping and snarling at everyone and everything, and unfortunately Mr. Reverdy Johnson came in his way last night. He will find that he has outraged the public sense of England no less than that of America. Political affairs have settled "in the hands of what we may call the buccaneering portion of society." This while the people of the United States are at this moment preparing to elect their chief magistrate, and while a large party in the country is eager to find some excuse for quarrelling with England ! It is unnecessary to say that Mr. Roebuck's assertion is a slander. We have never been among those who assert that all the political virtues under heaven are daily put in practice by the American people, but to say that the electors belong to the "buccaneering classes" is an odious libel upon the nation in which the vast majority claim the franchise as a right. Mr. Roebuck has tried to do some mischief in his time, and he is apparently resolved to do still more before we are finished with him. This one speech ought to lose him his election ; but the old constituency of Sheffield was remarkably eccentric. Perhaps the new one is no better. We trust that at least the Americans will thoroughly understand that the English people have no sympathy with the sour politician who has sometimes the presumption to speak as if with authority from them. The Army and Navy Gazette says that Lord Napier's share of the six months' batta granted for service in Abyssinia will amount to 29,850 rupees. Her Majesty the Queen and the junior members of the Royal Family, attended by the suite, are expected to arrive at Windsor Castle about the close of the ensuing week. The Queen, after a stay of about three days, will leave Windsor Castle for Balmoral. The Attorney-Generalship of the County Pala tine, which became vacant through the death of Mr. Temple, Q.C., has been conferred upon Mr. Quain, Q.C. The learned gentleman, who was called to the bar in May 1851, received a silk gown about two years ago. Mr. Quain is one of the Liberal candidates for the representation of London University. DEATH OF PROFESSOR MACLURE.—The death of Robert Maclure, LL.D., Professor of Humanity in the University of Aberdeen, took place suddenly at his resi dence on Thursday morning. He was dressing in his bedroom, when he suddenly fell down and expired. He was in his 60th year. An old lady has been burnt to death at Brighton. The other night about ten o'clock she went to her bed room, and a few minutes afterwards piercing screams were heard. When the room was entered she was found enveloped in flames and was so severely burnt that she never rallied, but died early on Thursday morning. She wore a muslin dress on the Tuesday night, and, while conscious after the accident, said the sleeve of this had caught fire from the candle, the flames afterwards getting to the skirt of the dress, and so spreading to all her garments. THE ALLEGED ABDUCTION OF A JEWESS. —WO understand that on the 3rd instant Miss Esther Lyons met her father by arrangement, and that they had a private conversation together, which lasted an hour, at the con clusion of which she was asked, in the presence of her uncle and brother, two Christian friends, and a solicitor for each party, whether she would go with her father, who was in another room awaiting her decision, or remain' with those friends with whom she lately resided. She imme• diately replied that she would remain with the friends with whom she had been staying. It had been previously agreed that both parties should acquiesce in Miss Lyons's decision. ANOTHER FIRE AT THE EXCHANGE BUILDINGS AT NEWCASTLE.—The Northern Evening Express contains the following :—" These magnificent buildings, which were so much injured by the fire in August 1867, andt present a are undergoing the process of restoration, have been in great danger of suffering a second time from the fiery element. On Friday morning, about seven o'clock, when some of the workmen entered the room immediately be neath the dome, they discovered that the floorwas on fire. It had been burning over night, and had burnt through the flooring, destroying the greater portion of it, and causing the newly-erected dome to be in great danger of being destroyed a second time. The fire might have been more serious but for the fact of the floor of the room being covered over with a quantity of sawdust several inches in thickness, which tended to check the rapid progress of the fire, and saved the building from more serious injury. THE BERMUDA FLOATING DOCK.—The Bermuda floating dock, which was launched at North Woolwich on Thursday, has arrived at Sheerness, having been towed down the river by eight powerful tug-boats, and accom panied by her Majesty's ships Terrible and Medusa, the latter vessel being about 300 yards in front, and acting as pilot. The tide being low at the time of arrival, the dock remained at the Little Nore a short time, when it was taken into the harbour up as far as Saltpan Reach, where moorings had been prepared by the dockyard authorities. The dock was soon safely moored, and lies about two miles and a half from Sheerness Pier. As the dock will remain in Sheerness harbour all the winter to be completed before being towed to Bermuda, the Latonia hulk has been placed at the contractor's disposal, for the accommodation of about 100 workmen who will be am. ploy 0 , 1 upon her.
