SEMIT OP THE PUBLIO JOURNALS, The Saturday Review declares that unless there is a large secession from the ranks of the Opposition, the reso: lutions of Mr. Gladstone on the Irish Church must neces sarily be carried. The Cave which sheltered the malcon tents of two former sessions will at least not be reoccupied by all of its former tenants. Mr. Lowe and Mr. Horsman will no doubt support Mr. Gladstone in his attack on the Irish Church ; nor is it yet known with certainty that any influential politicians will take their place as leaders of any new body of dissidents. It would not be difficult to devise special reasons for opposing the resolutions, on the ground that they are unseasonable, that they are factious, or that the issue ought to be reserved to the future Par. Lament ; but, when it comes to a division, it will not be forgotten that there must be one appeal to the country within the year, and that there may be two appeals. The gcuat body of the Liberal party in the old constituen cies, including nearly all the Nonconformists, will support the abolition of the Irish Establishment with little r - iard to the consistency of Mr. Gladstone, or to Mr. Disraeli's claims for a fair trial. After the registration, the enfranchised householders may be expected to approve still more strenuously of Mr. Gladstone's proposal, and candidates for their favour will be unwilling to incur unpopularity by opposing in the present session a measure which must in any case be settled by a future Parliament. If members were irresponsible to their constituents, and more especially if they could vote in secret, a large majo rity would almost certainly prefer that the contest should be adjourned ; but the pressure of party allegiance will prevail over the private judgment of many candid or luke. warm Liberals. The leader of an Opposition, as of a Government, is liable to errors of judgment, but it is a necessary condition of efficient party action that his followers should accept his decision on political tactics. A minority, or even a narrow majority, would seriously injure Mr. Gladstone's reputation for prudence, and it might be assumed, in the case of any other leader, that he had taken measures to ascertain the feelings of his party before he committed himself and his adherents to a decisive policy. If the resolutions are carried by a considerable majority, Mr. Disraeli will have, like his predecessors on many occasions, three courses open to his choice. He may resign, or he may dissolve, or he may neither dissolve nor resign. The first of the three alternatives may be rejected as improbable, and there are obvious formidable objec tions to an immediate dissolution. If Mr. Gladstone's majority is small, Mr. Disraeli will be fully justified in declining to accept the verdict of the House of Com mons as decisive ; and it is doubtful whether, in any cir cumstances, his adversary could drive him from office against his will. The Liberal party has repeatedly shewn that it is not in a hurry to instal Mr. Gladstone as Minister ; and there is a general feeling that Mr. Disraeli has, without adequate necessity, been in some respects harshly treated. If the resolutions are lost, the Govern ment is safe; and if they are carrie I, Mr. Disraeli will probably contrive to remain in office. The Irish resolu tions will scarcely affect Mr. Disraeli's infinitesimal chances of acceptance by the future House of Commons. In the impending debate the opponents of the motion will contend that it is unseasonable, because Mr. Gladstone has not the opportunity of following up the vote of the House by introducing a measure from the Ministerial bench. The majority in the new Parliament will draw the logical inference that its first business is to remove the existing Government. Apart from personal considerations and fears of a disso lution, there are, the Spectator points out, three or four ideas, not exactly current, but latent among some minds otherwise honestly Liberal, which will make their posses sors vote, if they vote at all, with little heartiness, as men accepting the inevitable, and not as men determined to fulfil a clear and an imperative obligation. Of these ideas the strongest may be shortly defined as the shewbread idea, the property idea, and the Protestant idea. The shewbread idea, little as some of our more extreme friends may believe it, is one which weighs very heavily with minds deserving of the highest respect, minds accus tomed to decide their course on considerations other than those of pure expediency. They do not like the idea of secularising great properties now devoted to religious use, feel as if they were guilty of something approaching sacrilege, as if they were called on to vote for a retrograde step in civilisation. Then there is the property idea, the notion that the seizure of corporate property without compensation endangers the security of individual property. This idea, which defeated the Appropriation Clause thirty years ago, seems of late years to have become weaker ; but it still exists, and has an especial influence among a class of men who have a secret doubt whether their own pos. sessions are not too vast for the public weal. And finally, as to the Protestant idea. Somewhat, we confess. to our surprise, we find that this idea, hitherto po.verful to persecution, is going to prove weak ; that the Scotch constituencies, for example, which for centuries have nover elected a Catholic, are heartily opposed to the Con tinuance of the Irish Establishment. Still, this ides:, weighs with many very sensible people, who say the Irish Church is at once a bulwark against Rome, and an educa tional machinery for the propagation of a comparatively Pure creed. With regard to the first, or—as we have named ia shewbread objection, the resolutions do not involve a pledge that the funds will go to other than reli gious objects. At present it becomes ahnost disgraceful fog a man to change his creed. A Catholic becoming a Protestant is almost suspected of wishing to belong to the high caste. It is not the shewbread about to be abolished, but the use of shewbread as a bribe to the hungry. With regard to the second objection, there is in reality no con fiscation, for nobody loses anything ; all that happens is that a corporation of trustees is not renewed by the owners who placed the property in trust. The argument about the bulwark may be pretty summarily dismissed. If Protestantism in Ireland without endowments clnnot hold its ground against Catholicism without endowments, we should say the quicker it disappears the better, no kingdom of God having ever yet been established by bribes ; but there is no necessity for so extreme an argument. It is probable, remarks the Imperial Review, that the Liberal leaders already begin to recognise the truth that in venturing upon a crusade against the Church, and endeavouring to commit the Liberal party to a course that logically involves a complete revolution of the Constitu tional relations between Church and State, not in Ireland alone,but in England and Scotland they have been guilty of a grave political blunder. Mr. Gladstone is ordinarily considered to be abnormally susceptible to the influence of public (pinion. In that case he must already experience the inevitable regret that is felt by one who sacrifices con science and conviction only to incur obloquy and invite defeat. For the evidences are already abundant enough, and striking enough, that the nation in no way sympa thises with the policy of revolution that the Liberal leader has announced. Little consideration is required to spew that the principles - which Mr. Gladstone has now avowed, if followed out to their logical conclusions, are fatal to the interests of the Established Church, not in Ireland only, but in England and Scotland, and are inconsistent with the fundamental rights of property. The abasement of Protestantism, and the confiscation of religious endowments, do not constitute a popular cause. The knowledge that the disendowmentof the Irish Church is not sought by the Irish people, but is merely ad vocated by the representatives of the Ultramontane party, is alone sufficient to make ordinary Englishmen regard such a step with disfavour. The in dications are already abundant enough, that the Pro testant feeling of the country is energetically enlisted on behalf of the Irish Protestant Church. The inevitable result of the course that Mr. Gladstone has adopted will be to re-kindle religious animosities in Ireland and to stir up the fierce hatred between rival religions that it should be the aim of statesmanship to remove. In England its tendency is to distract attention from Ireland itself, and from the consideration of measures for the relief of Irish evils, by impressing a belief that, in Mr. Disraeli's words, " the crhis of England is rather at hand." It is self evident that the destruction of the Irish Church would lead to and invit, an agitation for the disendowment of the Church in England. The conviction that this will be the case, and the knowledge that the opponents of the Church do not de my it, will, in itself, sufficiently account for the enthusiasCc opposition that Mr. Gladstone is evoking. Under this heading the London _Review notices certain proceedings of Murphy, - Mackay, Harper, and others, backed up by Mr. Whalley and Colonel _Brockman. It concludes its remarks as follows: We should be parti cularly cautious just at this time not to allow the spirit of bigotry to ;grow to influential dimensions amongst us. The great questions of the day happen to be those which lie close upon the confines of religious th ong ht an d f ee li ng and it is of all things desirable that we should deal with them calmly, impartially, and kindly. There not be wanting those who will try to rouse up th e d angerous pre judices of the mobs on the subject of the Irish Church, for example, though we do not think that its m ore respectable and sincere upholders will go into the streets for support h - ; bigots, however, must be seen to. They ar e cer t a i n to do as much mischief as they can, and t o ra i se the old cries of the "Church in danger" and "No Popery." It will not, of course, be necessary to put any extraordi nary m easures in force for their suppression, but they might be eff c;tually discouraged both by rid:cute and contempt. It is doubtful, however, whether these meetings, "for men only," mill help out the policy of their promoters. W e are inclined terthink t'iat those assemhlies will entail so much of public disgust on their patrons that they will rather aid the cause of fib than otherwise. Mr. Harper, Mr. Mael:nv ' Mr. Murphy, and Colonel Brockman are poor apostles. after all—poor in the sense of brains and discre tion. We may, then, leave them to their own devices, until those devices interfere with the peace and secerity of their fellow.subjLcts. We only trust that their complaint is not contagious. We are, indeed, behind France and Germany in some respects. Bigots do not thrive on the Continent. The atmosphere—the intellectual atm osph ere — is too clear and too refined for them. The peel& have no room for them, and even the camparatively innocuous street preacher is an institution unknown in Paris. 'We do not think the French are much the worse for not hearken ing to the turgid twaddle and silliness of bigots. We have suffered enough from them historically to be thoroughly tired of them. The bigot has no longer a real part to play a nongst us. His obstructiveness represents nothing but sheer brute obstinacy. if we thought the society which encourages Messrs. Murphy and his companions were capable of understanding a reason, we might easily shew them the futility of their proceedings ; but that which is void of decency has ever been held to be void of sense, and the Protestant Electoral Union has purveyed for the dens of Holywell-street in its mode of winning converts to the Church. LAW AND POLICE. ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER.-At the Norwich Assizes, Susan Roof, an attendant at the Norwich Lunatic Asylum, .has been charged with feloniously killing Susan Calvin. The deceased, who was an inmate of the asylum, applied to the prisoner for a black draught, and, with Roof's permission, she went to a cupboard to get it. She, however, took a bottle containing carbolic acid by mis take, and died about two hours afterwards from swallow ing a portion of the contents. The bottle containing the carbolic acid was labelled " poison," but the deceased could not read. The bottles containing the carbolic acid and the black draught were very similar in appearance. The charge against the prisoner was based on her alleged negligence in allowing the deceased to help herself to medicine, instead of administering it to her herself, as prescribed by the rules :f the asylum. The jury, however acquitted the prisoner. DBERAUDING AN INSURANCE COMPANT.-At the Liver pool Assizes, Julia Regan was charged with feloniously causing a false entry of the death of Catherine Regan to be inserted in the register of deaths for the district of St. Martin, Liverpool, and also with uttering a certified copy of the same. The prisoner was charged under the 3Gth section of 24th and 25th Victoria, cap. 93, and it appeared from the evidence of several officers of the Liver Friendly Burial Society that Catherine Regan was entered as a member of that society, and any person producing a certificate of her death would become entitled to £3. The prisoner pro duced to the cashier of the society a certificate of death, which had been obtained by telling the doctor that a girl named Regan, whom he had attended for bronchitis, had since died, whereupon he granted his certificate without actually seeing the body (a course which the learned judge condemned as very unsafe), and thereby obtained the sum in question. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. Sen tence deferred. ALLEGED WIFE MIIRDER.—At the same assizes, Mr. Justice Mellor had before him Richard Phythian, who was charged with the wilful murder of his wife Mary Phythian, at Eccleston, on the 2nd of January last. It appeared that the prisoner and his wife, together with his brother and wife and several friends, were drinking together on New Year's night, at a public-house. They left at mid night and went to the brother's house, where the deceased became sick and ill from drink, and was taken home by a woman named Seddon. As soon as Mrs. Seddon returned the prisoner started off home, very drunk indeed, and nothing more was seen of either until the prisoner called them tip at his brother's house at six o'clock in the morning, and told them that his wife was (lead. On going to the house they found the deceased sitting in her chair, dressed with the exception of her cap, quite dead, and.the floor of the room covered with pools of blood. There was no blood in any other part of the house, but there were slight traces on the prisoners' boots and on the bed-clothes. The prisoner said he did not know what had happened, but when he came down in the morn kg be found his wife in the chair dead, and the house covered with blood. The deceased, who was in the family-way, died from hemorrhage, which must have been instant and exces sive, and which was produced by a lacerated contused wound, which it was said must have been the result of violence. The evidence of the doctor was that a kick would be very probable violence to produce it, while there was nothing in the room which in his opinion could have caused it, and it was put for the prosecution that the prisoner must in his drunkenness have so caused it. No one besides the pri soner and the deceased were in the house during the night, and voices were heard by the next-door neighbour in the middle of it, but nothing in the way of screams. Instead of being a violent man, the prisoner was shown to have always been most kind to his wife, and to have lived happily with her during the eight years they had been married, The defence was that there was no direct evidence what ever that the injury was produced by a kick, or by the prisoner at all, and that the doctor might be wrong in his impression that the room contained nothing which could have produced it. For instance, if the sofa had been at one time tilted on one side, so as to have a projecting leg, against which the deceased had fallen, it might have been so produced. His lordship said to the jury that this case was at the most manslaughter, and the jury, without hesitation, acquitted the prisoner altogether. THE DROYLSDEN MURDERER. --+- Timothy Faherty, who will be executed on this day week for the murder of Mary Hanmer, seems to be fully con scious that there is no hope of mercy being extended to him. We have already stated that Faherty passed twelve years as a private soldier in the 40th Regiment ; and we are now enabled to give the following additional particu lars :—The convict, who is 30 years of age, is a native of the town of Galway, where his mother, who is a widow, is at present residing. He joined the army at an early age, and never revisited Galway after his enlistment. At the expiration of the term for which he had enlisted, Faherty claimed and was allowed his discharge; and shortly before Christmas 1866 he came to Manchester, where he has several relatives residing. He obtained work at Droylsden, and there formed that int:macy with Mary Hanmer which has had such a deplorable result. The con vict regularly corresponded with his mother, and in his letters just before Christmas he seems to have frequently referred to his return home as a thing that might be ex pected any day. In conversation with acquaintances at Drolysden, also, Faherty stated his determination to re-visit his home in a short time ; and on the 23rd De cember he informed his mother that that would be the last letter she would receive from him—meaning, doubtless, that he would speedily follow it in person. It will also be remembered that in the last conversation he had with his victim and Mrs. Broderick, previous to the murder, Faherty said he was going home, and asked them if they had any messages to send. He says now that at that time he had not the slightest intention of murdering the deceased. The ferocious barbarity with which the deed was committed has, however, deprived him of the plea which might otherwise have been made for him on the ground of the apparent absence of premeditation. His unhappy mother heard of his arrest on a charge of murder on the day when she had expected that he would have been with her in Galway. The meeting between them, after thirteen years of separation, took place in the prison cell before the trial, and it was of an extremely affecting character. An effort has been made to obtain the intervention of the convict's former commanding officer in his favour, but the reply was, of course, that nothing of the kind could be dune. The convict's friends have seen hi►n once since his condemnation.—Manchester Guardian. At a congregation, held at Cambridge on Thurs day, the honorary degree of LL.D. was conferred on Cap tain M. F. Maury, the well•known investigator of ocean currents. MR. GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN.—This gentleman continues to occupy quarters in the Four Courts' Marshal sea, Dublin. He is daily visited by a large circle of friends and sympathisers, many of whom present him with some delicacies of the season, books, periodicals, and other acceptable gifts. He engages himself during the entire day in reading the different papers with which he is supplied so elaborately, corresponding with the American and Irish papers, and in looking over lectures and other manuscripts. He expects his release very shortly, after which he proposes addressing audiences in Dublin on the subject of the bankruptcy laws in Ireland and their per nicious effects. He will then proceed to lecture in the principal towns in the south and west of Ireland ; thence to England and Scotland, previous to taking his fare well departure to the American continent. Subsequent to his landing in the New World, Mr. Train anticipates a recep tion of unparalleled popularity. As regards the kindness of the officials of the Marshalsea, and the facilities extended to him in every shape and form, Mr. Train expresses him• self in the strongest terms of admiration. He occasionally lectures to his associates confined within the precincts of of the Marshalsea, and his observations have invariably been listened to with unusual attention by his hearers.-- irish Times. CONFESSION OF THE SELBY MURDERER. Frederick Parker, who has been sentenced to death for the murder of Daniel Driscoll, at Selby, near York, on the morning of the Ist inst., has made a confession of his crime. The document is a long one, and is dated the 21st instant. In it he says that himself and his victim lay down together by a large stack ; that shortly before six o'clock in the morning, hearing a cock, he said it was time to be going before the farmer got up. He then proceeds with his confession as follows : " So we started off again, and went on the road towards Robin son's Plantation, and against some thorns we stayed while it got a bit lighter, and while we were standing there he felt something falling upon his boot, and he thought it was some money, and he felt on the ground and found it was sixpence. Then he felt in his pocket to see if he had lost any more ; he said if he had lost his coin he might go back to London as soon as he liked, but lie had it rol, and he counted it, and put it into a little purse, and put it into his pocket, and then he knelt down to pull off his boot and see if there was any money in it, but there was not ; lie put it on again, and was fastening it, when I struck him with a hedge-stake on the head, when he fell, and I struck him two or three times more, and took the watch and chain and the money from him, and he rolled into the ditch, where I left him, but I bad thought of doing the deed before we left Beverley, but I did not do it until about a quarter to six on Sunday morning, the Ist March." From this point Parker gives a history of his proceedings up to the time of his appre hension. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 28,. 1868 MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. (From the Anglo-American Times.) Last week we noticed Derrick's invention the Steam Man, which has since excited considerable interest in England. Mr. Derrick, of Newark, New Jersey, has succeeded in making au engine in the form of a man move at the rate of 30 miles an hour. He walks or runs, drawing a carriage with the power of four horses. He is 7feet 9 inches high, 200 inches round the waist, 500 lbs. in weight, with his hat a funnel, a knapsack concealing the cranks and screws on his back, his breast a boiler, his stomach a furnace. The carriage bolds the water and the coal, of which 20 cents worth is all that is required for a day, twenty pounds of steam being enough to set him in motion. His stride is thirty inches, and he steps over all obstructions not higher than a foot. He can be manufactured for poo, and would prove cheap as a labour-saving engine if the machinery could be relied on. He is to race down Broadway, and we imagine that there will be a general scare among the horses who en counter Derrick's Steam Man. the New York Shipping and Commercial List reports the judgment of the United States Supreme Court, delivered by Mr. Justice Nelson in the case brought by Souchet Mauran against the New England Marine Insurance Company, to recover marine in surance on Mauran's vessel, which was insured against capture, seizure, or detention, and subse quently captured by Confederate privateers. The defence was that piracy was not capture, seizure, or detention by the law of insurance. The Court holds, first, that the policies of insurance covered seizures of any kind, and that the companies are therefore liable ; second, that capture by Confede rate privateers was capture by the legalized forces of a de facto Government, and was not, therefore, piracy. The Confederate Government was a Power which usurped all authority in those States, and as such was supreme, and a seizure made under and by virtue of such authority was a seizure within the laws of insurance. The Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Swayne dissented. A bill has been debated, and will be passed, ex tending the Freedmen's Bureau until July 15, 1869. General Banks' Bill for the protection of naturalized American citizens abroad has again been brought forward, but though greatly changed it is still opposed by many members, and its passage is doubtful. The Bill repealing taxes on manufac tures passed the House, March 10, all but unani mously, and will doubtless be adopted by the Senate. It removes, after the Ist of April, all in land revenue taxes upon manufactures except whisky, liquors, coal oils, illuminating gas, and tobacco. This Bill is in the interests of the manu facturers, being equivalent to an increase of 5 per cent. upon the import tariff on those articles with which foreigners compete. It is calculated that the Treasury will lose on the passage of the Act at the rate of $60,000,000 annually, and at a time when it can ill afford the deficit. The Bill to admit Ala bama, as a special Act, to the Union will also be passed. General Meade's returns give 70,812 votes as cast for the Alabama Constitution, and 1,005 against it. The measure will be taking a leaf out of the Confederates' book, acting with more regard to expediency than to law and consistency. The Bill providing that a simple majority of the votes cast shall be sufficient for the adoption of a consti tution in any Southern State has become law by the lapse of ten days after passage allowed the Pre sident for signature. He has failed to sign it. Peti tions and remonstrances from publishers, book makers, and paper manufacturers are sent in scores into Congress against the International Copyright Bill, which it is feared will be tabled. Through the House of Representatives we have been made acquainted with the correspondence on the subject of the arrest of American citizens in Great Britain. A public document, consisting of 363 closely printed pages, was transmitted to the House by the President as a partial report from the Secretary of State. We have no space to discuss this interesting little volume, which is admirably calculated to bring home to John Bull a disagree able truth. English Secretaries of Foreign affairs had from the lapse of time almost established the right to lecture foreign Princes and Ministers on the treatment of their subjects. If Mr. Seward had been writing for Punch he could not more satirically have shown up the insolent audacity of this Anglo- Saxon habit. It is really charming to see the lec turer lectured, the putter of other people's houses in order told how to clean up his own ; the pointer out of dirty spots shown the unwashed places in his own domicile, the highly civilized, enlightened, and intellig, lit rectifier of abuses abroad, patroniz ingly informed of the correct way of rectifying abuses at home. Charming, Mr. Seward ! If your despatches savour of impudence, the English people ought to forgive you that, and a great deal more, in consideration for the admirable lesson you have taught them. Mr. Adams, as usual, comes out as a man of calm judgment and sound, good sense. The admission of Mr. Vickers into the Chamber as Senator from Maryland raises the Democratic strength to 12, out of a total of 54 ; leaving 42 Republican Senators. An attempt was made by Senator Sumner to refer the subject to the Judi ciary Committee, directing it to consider whether the State of Maryland, with its existing constitu tion, has a Republican form of government. This motion was withdrawn, and Mr. Vickers sworn i n . The New York Herald is confident that the following twelve Radical Senators are opposed to impeachment, and have already expressed an opinion that the charges, even if proved, are insuf ficient to warrant impeachment and removal. Anthony and Sprague, of Rhode Island ; Willey and Van Winkle, of West Virginia; Fessenden, of Maine ; Howe, of Wisconsin ; Norton, of Minne sota ; Ross, of Kansas ; Sherman ,of Ohio ; Tipton, of Nebraska ; Trumbull, of Illinois ; and Williams, of Oregon. It considers doubtful—Grimes, of lowa, and Henderson, of Missouri, neither being strictly amenable to party discipline. Doolittle, of Wisconsin, and Dixon, of Connecticut, are Conser vative Republicans. Including Mr. Vickers, there are nine Democratic Senators : James A. Bayard and Saulisbury, of Delawarre; Buckalew, of Penn sylvania ; Davis and M'Creery, of Kentucky ; Pat terson, of Tennessee ; Hendricks, of Indiana ; John son and Vickers, of Maryland. The New York Citizen has little confidence in the Republican Sena tors being able to bear up against the party whip. It says the greatest prudence and self-control will be required on the part of Democracy not to furnish the Radicals with any excuse for a resort to violence. " Give them rope enough and they will hang themselves." " Let the political pigs swim down the stream and they will cut their own throats." Whereas, if they are checked, they will " raise the cry that the country is in danger from a vast armed conspiracy of Democrats in alliance with the late Southern rebels, and make this the pretext for a military coup d'etat, which we honestly believe that many of them, and positively know that some of them, contemplate." It is clear, from the tone of the Democratic press, that they are far from sharing Mr. Johnson's confidence in the break-down of Impeachment. The Republicans are loud in their rejoicing over their New Hampshire victory, which they term a splendid triumph, with the question of Impeach ment fairly before the voters. Mr. Sinclair, the Democrat candidate, expected a majority of 10,000, and no stone was left unturned in forwarding the canvas, $150,000 being expended. Besides Gover nor Harriman the spoils of victory were the choice of a Senate of nine Republicans to three Democrats, and a Republican majority of 70 in the House of Representatives. Governor Harriman's majority is estimated at 3,000, the exact figures from 220 towns giving 2,923, the largest number ever polled by them, the whole reaching 77,000, against G 8,608 last year, when tire Republican majority was 3,146. Reuter, in his summary, gives the number' at 700 less than last year. Connecticut is placed among the doubtful States, with the prospect of a Re publican victory in its election, and General Grant is almost insured success for the Pre sidency. Mr. Johnson paid off General Sickles, as we observed last week, in what the Spring field I?epublican calls a mean way. Mac kinaw, to which he is ordered, is entirely shut out from the world from the Ist December till May. The fortnightly mail is carried by royageurs and dog-trains through 200 miles of unbroken wilder ness, and over an immense depth of snow. If the General goes there he will have ample leisure for reflection, and time to cool down from his exciting canvas in New _Hampshire. The latest news from Washington, however, informs us that the order had arisen from a mistake, Lieut.-Colonel Sykes having been ordered to report to the commander of the Fifth Military District before joining the 20th Regiment, recently commanded by General Steel, deceased, and the similarity of the names deceived. Mr. Peabody, the great philanthropist, who has probably given away more money in his life than was ever made and given away by any one man before him has just received what we consider the greatest honour of his life. His native town of Danvers, in Massachusetts, has voted by a majority of 17 to change its name to Peaboly. It was there that George Peabody was born on the 18th February, 1795, and it was on it that he bestowed one of his earliest and richest gifts. In 1852 he founded an educational establishment for the benefit of his fel low townsmen at a cost of £30,000. Mr. Peabody is believed to be at Rome, living with the sculptor Story. Of the rioters at Ward's Island in New York harbour 24 have been sentenced to imprisonment, and all others known to be engaged in the row were banished from the island, and the Irish and Germans have since been quartered separately. The Round Table, taking the riot for its text, has an article on Race Hatred and the Suffrage. It considers the fight to be a speedy illustration of one of the points suggested in its late article, " The Elements of Danger." It shows how serious is " the apprehension which ought to be en tersained when the two conditions of dense num bers and scarce work simultaneously present them selves among the masses of half-civilized emigrants of different races. All has hitherto gone well, be cause land has been very abundant and wages very high. But when these conditions are modified pro blems of great difficulty and delicacy will arise, and such as may have a grave bearing upon future poli tical complications." This was undoubtedly the opinion and the danger pointed out by Lord Ma caulay. The articles in the 'hound Table boldly advance opinions that in America are simply revo lutionary. It says—" We are aware that to great numbers of our countrymen it is intensely disagree able to have anything in the nature of dissent from the generally received Democratic dogmas urged upon their attention ;" but it appears to be not the less determined on this account to keep pegging away. The fact is that the Round Table believes the United States to be drifting into a monarchy, and gives strong reasons for its opinion. In the Pennsylvania Legislature a vote was taken to establish impartial suffrage in that state, which means to give the ballot to negroes. Out of the 54 Republicans only 13 could be found to favour the measure. These are the gentlemen who cry so loud for Reconstruction ; that is, for Negro Suffrage in the South, where the blacks have just been emancipated from slavery, where the numbers are so great as in places to swamp the Southern white, where the prejudice between the races is founded on a social institution which made one the property of the other, and where the consequent ignorance of the enslaved and uneducated is in glaring con trast with the mental superiority of the coloured men of the North. Yet these consistent Republicans do not like the negro to pass between the wind and their nobility, and without one good reason to ad vance for the distinction against the many we have touched on they propose suffrage for the South ern, but no suffrage for their own coloured fellow citizens. It is doubtless true that there has been a good deal of squabbling among the Republican leaders over impeachment. Chief Justice Chase does not approve of the movement. Apart from his legal opinions, he is a candidate for the Presidency, and might naturally have some repugnance to give his competitor, Mr. Wade, the long start in the race to be derived from even the temporary occupation of the Presidential chair. He has been roundly abused for his letter by some Republican journals, who have gone so far as to accuse him of plotting trea son to his party, inter ling to swing round and get a Democratic nomination. Many Senators are said openly to have expressed :their dislike to Im peachment; and that the Chamber is inclined to resist the dictation and hurry with which it has been pressed forward by the House. One of the managers declared he would drop Im peachment if an article proposed by himself was not added to the charges. Another announced his intention of withdrawing, if, after his faithful service in the cause, he was not elected Chairman of the Committee of Management. The danger to the party, will, we presume, restrain unruly mem bers from causing an actual split. The President has had more interviews with newspaper correspondents. According to the Nets York World, he spent a Sunday evening in discussing politics and his own position with the correspondent of that paper. Mr. Johnson thinks it probable that the Supreme Court will shortly pronounce the Re construction Acts unconstitutional in deciding on the M'Ardle case, when he would remove at once the Southern Military Governments, hinting that this would overthrow the Radical schemes. Mr. Johnson has a sovereign contempt for Impeach ment, believing that if it succeeds in anything, that thing will be the destruction of the Republican party. The Tenure-of-Office Act, for violating which he is Impeached, protects him, he declares. " I did not appoint Mr. Stanton, therefore I have the right under the Tenure-of-Office Act to dismiss him peremptorily at any time." Ho spoke in scorn of Butler's addition to the articles which charged him for his speeches against Congress as if he was the only man in the States barred the right of telling the truth to a crowd of citizens, while himself open to unmeasured abuse, and liable to be arraigned by the very men who abused him for speaking with disgust and contempt of them, adding--...“ Jefferson Davis, the head and front of the rebellion, is not brought to trial, yet Congress proposes to try the President at once." General Logan, of Illinois, made a sensational statement in the House on the 9th inst., to the effect that Mr. Clark, superintendent of the Trea sury printing bureau, had obtained the certificate of three Treasury officials to the destruction of $18,640,000 of cancelled bonds, they being present, while in reality no such bonds had been destroyed, mere blank paper being burnt, and the bonds put into circulation anew. It was announced in the debate that followed, that the matter was being investigated by the Retrenchment Committee, and a resolution was adopted directing an immediate and special investigation, the report to be sent within the week to the House. So anxious were some members that they at once called upon Gen. Spinner, the United States Treasurer, who explained that the report made to General Logan had probably arisen from ig norance of the method of printing bonds by the bureau. Blank sheets are issued to a responsible officer, exactly tallying with the specified amount of bonds directed to be printed, an accurate return being given by him ; these sheets either when spoiled or not printed are destroyed in the manner de scribed by General Logan, and the fact certified on the account-book. It is reported that Mr. Clark had deliberately misrepresented the circumstances to damage Mr. M'Culloch ; but people are far from satisfied with this explanation, and demand a very searching inquiry. The Pennsylvanian Republican Convention to select delegates to the Chicago Convention nomi nated Grant for President, and Governor Andrew G. Curtin for Vice-President ; resolved in favour of Congress against President Johnson, and that the Debt is a sacred obligation, binding the people to the full extent of its legal requirements—a piece of Pennsylvanian shuffling, for the interpretation of which the Keystone State has more than once given the key. This was followed by a mass meet ing in ratification, held iu Philadelphia, March 12, which pronounced Johnson a second negro, and Grant a model citizen. The Massachusetts Repub lican Convention nominated Grant for President, and Senator Wilson for Vice-President, and resolved in support of Impeachment, but said nothing regarding the Debt. The New York Democratic Convention, though making no nominations for the Presidency, nor resolutions regarding the Debt, denounced Im peachment, and supported Andrew Johnson. A declaration of principles was adopted, accusing the Republicans of political crimes and indicting Congress. It was supported by an able speech from Ex-Governor Horatio Seymour, who predicted a violent struggle between debtor and creditor States. He advised his party to make no issue on payment of the Bonds, leaving the question to the coming generation, an excellent plan, all must heartily desire to carry out—themselves to create debts, and their children to debate hereafter with the creditors whether they wilt pay them or not. This is the sim ple principle of European finance, which the United States should at once adopt, instead of constantly stirring up the mess. We are half inclined to believe that it is more an innate principle of honesty than the reverse which induces all this action, instead of with sleek appearance and straight-combed hair making asseverations that all will be repaid to the utter most farthing. The Rhode Island Democratic Con vention met on the 11th inst., for the first time in many years, nominating Lyman Pierce as candi date for Governor. Under our Personal intelli gence we give a list of norninaticns of the Con ventions. We learn by the Russia, which brings news to noon on the 18th March, that the House had re committed to the Reconstruction Committee the Bill to admit the Alabama representatives to Congress. Mr. Thaddeus Stevens opposed the bill. Messrs. Brooks and Becke, Democrats, sub mitted the minority Report of the Reconstruction Committee, opposing the New Constitution in Alabama as grossly unjust in enfranchising masses of ignorant negroes, disfranchising intelligent whites, giving non-tax-paying negroes the power of imposing taxes, being generally framed in the interest of Northern office-seekers. Some time ago Congress conveyed to California the Yo Semite, for the purpose of turning that matchless valley into a public pleasure-ground in alienable for ever. There were two squatters on it, each with a tavern, and the action of the State Legis lature was to apportion them double the quantity of the 300 acres they petitioned to receive, and to take no steps to carry out the object of Congress. Governor Haight very properly vetoed this arrange ment, suggesting that the settlers could be paid for the improvements made to the date of the Act, or by a lease, at a nominal rent for a term of years, as the bill permits portions to be thus held for periods not exceeding 10 years. The Bill has been passed over the Governor's veto by the Assembly, in direct opposition to public opinion ; but the Californians hope that Congress will refuse to ratify the action of the Legislature. This dell. of unrivalled grandeur runs for 15 miles between the most stupendous precipices in the world, averaging a breadth of half a mile. It is a chasm in the Sierra Nevada, the rocky walls rising to 4,500 feet in height. . There are five Falls, of which those the Indians call Cholook, are the highest of any known. The stream, 80 feet wide, sweeps over a precipice 2,063 deep in three successive leaps, of which the first is 1,300 feet deep, the second 250, and the third 450, the water being lost in spray before reaching the bottom. The first fall seen on entering the valley, is the Cascade of the Rainbow, which tinges the landscape with every colour as the sun's rays penetrate through the float ing mist, presenting a picture almost unearthly in its beauty. The Vernal and the Nevada cascades fall 350 and 700 feat ; the first issuing from a huge forest of evergreen trees, and the latter lost in foam and mist , as the volume strikes over a projecting ledge midway in its descent. The North German Parliament was opened at noon la - st Monday by the King of Prussia in person. His Majesty in his speech from the Throne an nounced the further development of the domestic institutions which had recently been founded, and mentioned the modification of the postal arrange ments with several countries and the conclusion of the postal treaty with the United States of Ame rica. He also expressed his satisfaction at the manner in which the representatives of the North German Confederation had been received at foreign Courts, and, in conclusion, said he was convinced that the blessings of peace would rest upon the labours of the Parliament. The report lately revived that the Washington Government would be compelled by the United States Courts to pay to the bondholders of the Con federate Loan the proceeds of the cotton captured in the South, on which the bondholders had a lien. may be useful to those who desire to get rid of worthless paper, but will end in disappointment to those who hold, or purchase in the expectation of any portion of the debt being pai 1. Mr. Seward is not a bad judge, and he has not changed his opi nion since he wrote to Mr. Adams on March 13th, 1865. He then said, " You inform me the delusion prev4ils in European circles that the rebel debts will be paid as a condition of peace. To correct that delusion, you may safely say that in my belief the principal of the. debt of Great Britain will be liquidated and discharged before a single dollar even of interest of the rebel debt will be discharged by any body." It is au hallucination to suppose that the nation would permit any Government under any circumstances to repay the people who furnished the sinews of war to the Confederates— that is who presented them with arms 'to cut the throats of those now expected to repay the lenders. What would be said if the American Minister pro ceeded to the English Treasury with a great bundle of Fenian Bonds, and demanded cash from the Chan cellor of the Exchequer ? How difficult it i 3 to see both sides of a question, when our interests inter vene. On the 19th of the following October, Mr. Adams, in transmitting to the Secretary of State the proceedings of a meeting of holders of cotton bonds, said with a sneer, " It will here be seen how a learned British expounder of the Constitu tion of the United States (Mr. I'. M. Chamberlain) undertakes to set aside all the wisdom of Marshall, and Kent, and Story, upheld by the verdict of the people, and confirmed by the result of an appeal to the sword. The Louisiana Constitutional Convention has agreed to adjourn sine die on its Constitution being ratified ; General Hancock to decide when to sub mit it to the people. Seventy-six members signed the Constitution, seven refused, and were expelled with ignominy for presuming to have an opinion of their own. To kick the member out on the gross provocation of differing in opinion from the majo rity is becoming quite the fashion down South. Mr. Leggatt, not badly named for the operation, was expelled from the Virginia Convention for express ing his contempt for the whole proceedings. The Georgia Convention, having settled its Constitution, and named April 20 for its submission to the people, and the election of State officers, is now fighting over the spoils. A minority nominated Mr. Bul lock for Governor, against which the President of the Union League, Mr. Farrow protests, having nominated himself for the post. Eighteen dele gates were elected to the Chicago Convention, Grant being nominated for the Presidency, and Foster Blodgett for the Vice-Presidency of the United States. The South Carolina Convention was about to adjourn, having rejected the proposal of the Committee on the franchise, by which all after 1875 shall be compelled to read and write—but no person now disqualified shall be eligible to office, nor can the Legislature remove the disabilities. Mr. Cordosa, a negro, has been chosen as candidate for Secretary of State, and among the delegates selected to represent South Carolina in the Republican Pre sidential Convention at Chicago are several negroes. The Educational Section has been adopted by the North Carolina Convention, forbidding the esta blishment of separate schools for black and white, and compelling parents to send children between the ages of five and eight to school for 16 months. Equal rights are thus provided in the State Univer sities and in the public schools. Mr. Stanton, apprehending a guerilla raid upon the War-office from Virginia, has ordered the gar rison of Washington to be held in readiness, and he is prepared to maintain his stronghold against all corners. Gen. Grant had authorized Major-Gen. Thomas to protect the State authorities of Tennessee against an armed organization threatening to take forcible possession of the Central State Government. General Hancock 'proceeds to Washington, leaving General Reynolds in command, while he confers with the President relative to resigning his com- [nand of the fifth district. f ..i f .i , Thaddeus Stevens was born near the town of Peacham, in the northern portion of Vermont. His mother was a hard-working woman, who took every means to for ward the education of her son. He was sickly, lame, and sensitive, and then doubtless contracted some of the crabbed temper for which he is so remarkable, under the ridicule of his schoolfellows, to such a mind—gall and wormwood. He never returned to the home of his child hood, and in this fact may be found a trait of his character, bitter and unforgiving, and wanting , in that generous man liness which enab:es many great men to seek out the cot tage where they were born, and wander almost spell-bound over the scenes of their boyish days. Mr. Seward has written to Fuad Pasha to express his regret for the publication given in the United States to a certain despatch of Mr. Morris, Minister at Constanti nople, in which were embodied rumours relative to the mental state of the Sultan. That publication was the re sult of a mistake. After that declaration Fuad Pasha has resumed diplomatic relations with Mr. Morris. Duke de Penthievre and Prince Philippe from Vienul, grandsons of Louis Philippe, arrived at Spring field, Massachusetts, from Boston, Friday evening, Feb. 28, and spent the niglit at the Massasoit House. On Sa turday they visited the armoury and other places of in terest, in company with Hon. George Walker, and loft for Pittsfield in the 6 p.m. train, and were the guests of Robert Pomeroy over Sunday. Samuel C. Eastman is the Democratic candidate for the Concord, New Hampshire, mayoralty. The Re publicans talk of Colonel Isaac Clement, and some inde pendents went to nominate Charles H. Proctor, a coloured man, who had a large vote last year. Mrs. P. A. Hanaford was ordained and installed pastor of the Universalist Society in Hingham, Massa chusetts, on the 19th February. Mrs. Hanaford is editor of the Lady's Repository, a Universalist magazine, and of the Myrtle, a Sunday school paper, as well as the author of the "Life of Lincoln" and the " Soldier Boy." The Rev. Olympia Brown and the Rev. Elma Hewett assisted in the ceremony. The following letter from Garibaldi, dated Ca prera, 16th instant, and addressed to the American Minis ter in Florence, was published last Saturday evening : " I hear from my friends that Mr. Seward has done me the honour to include my name among the agents of the Go vernment of the Great Republic. As I never had that honour, I bog you to request him to cause my name to be removed.—Gen. Garibaldi." Gulatea, 26, Captain his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, K.G.—Letters for this ship should be sent to Honolulu via New York and San Francisco, until April . 25, and afterwards to Valparaiso, by Pacific mail, up to July 16 inclusive. The English papers have confounded the iVew York Citizen with The Irish Citizen. Sere is what the New York Citizen says about Mi tcliel's letters, which lately at tracted so much attention in England : - The last sensation in Irish circles is the denunciation of American Feaianism by Mr. John Mitchel in his Irish Citizen—Mitchel, who all his life has been a sort of combined Vesuvius, .tna, Co topaxi and Chimborazo of sensational explosions—contin ually pouring out eruptive lava tides, and hurling upward volcanic meteors of excitement into the skies and down the sides of politics and journalism. The New York Citizen says :—" The seat now occupied by Senator E. D. Morgan will be filled next winter by the election of Horatio Seymour, if he will ac cept. But should he decline, for the same reasons which have induced him to refuse any nomination either fur Pre sident or Governor, it is more than probable that Cham berlain Sweeny or this city will be the next choice of the party in our State." The same paper has authority for stating definitely that under no circumstances will ex- Governor Horatio Seymour permit the use of his name as a candidate for the Presidency. It has good reason to believe that Lieutenant-General William T. Sherman will, if solicited, accept the Democratic nomination. There is no disposition to press the claims of Mayor Hoffman until General Sherman has decided to run or not. It is announced that Senator William M. Tweed, of New York, will be presented by the. delegation of that city to the next Democratic State Convention as their choice for Governor. Colonel William B. Coleman, editor of the Richmond Examiner, was in New York when the last mail left, and had assured the Democratic party that the Radi cals had no chance, by any manipulation, to cast the vote of the old Dominion for the Presidential' nominee of their party. lie thought that the State Convention would be defeated by a majority of 30,000. The Celestial Government have conferred on the two mandarins who are to accompany Mr. Burlingame as Secretaries the co-ordinate rank of Minister, the Ame rican, however, still remaining chief. The arrangement is considered beneficial for all parties, as it gives a better guarantee for the good faith of the Chinese, witholit les sening the benefit they will derive from Mr. Burlingame's ability and experience. Colonel S. S. Goode, who raised the Illinois regi ment which General Grant originally commanded, was killed recently in Western Missouri by a United States official, whom ho had attacked in anger at being prosecuted for violation of the revenue laws. Massachusetts has had 139 of the graduates of West Point, and only five of them discredited her fame by treason in the recent rebellion, and they had long been residents of the South. Seventy-two are still living. Among them are Joseph Hooker, Rufus Saxton, George H. Gordon, and James Barnes, all major-generals in the war of the rebellion. Colonel W. S. Kiog, assessor for the third dis trict of Massachusetts, is among the revenue officers whom Commissioner Rollins recommends should be removed, either for iucomptency or malfeasance in office. Lieut.-Governor Bross, of Illinois, and his daughter have returned from a six months' visit to Europe. Lady Don sailed for England in the City of Ant were. Wilkes' Spirit says :—" A herald telegram from Mexico contains tho mournful news that Mr. ' Anson Bangs was injured by a fall from his horse.' Who the devil is Bangs ?" And it also adds :—" It is hoped that Agnes Robertson will return to the United States shortly on a professional tour. A rumour prevailed that Kate Terry was under engagement for this country ; but as that lady was not long since united to a gentleman of large wealth, we doubt the report. One of the Webb Sisters has been lecturing in reply to Anna Dickinson, Sacramento, Cal., and Lawrence Barrett playing Hamlet in San Francisco to a densely-packed house, which is there seldom attracted. in that city the corner stone of the new Alhambra Theatre was laid in great state, General 11. A. Cobb delivering the oration. The American Theatre, lately burnt, was the largest but not the oldest in the city. It was owned by General Naglee and Dr. Toland, who purchased it for $35,000, though the ground on which it stood is now worth $75,000. Edwin Forrest has brought suit against the Memphis-Louisville Railroad for a wardrobe destroyed by fire on the cars of that road. Damages laid at two thousand dollars. Martin Simonson and wife are in New Zealand. John Collins, the Irish comedian, sailed from Australia for California, via Panama. A Japanese troupe is playing in Sydney, under the management of Mr. Cop pin. Mr. James Anderson, the tragedian, is playing in 'Adelaide." Don Mariano Sanchez Fantecilla, presented his credentials to the Secretary of State as Charge d'Affaires of the republic of Chili, near the Government of the United States, at Washington, March 12, and was recognized accordingly. We learn that Congressman Morrissey and John Quincy Adams have gone to the Hot Springs of Arkansas. Mr. norrissey's malady is inflammatory rheumatism. Governor Baker has been brought before a United States Commissioner, on the complaint of a negro, and held in $2,000, to appear at some future day and answer to the charge of perjury in taking his oath of office. The Massachusetts Republican Convention was presided over by ex-Congressmen Gooch, and the dele gates chosen are—Lieutenant-Governor Claflin, of New ton, F. W. Bird, of Walpole, .Dr. Loring, of Salem, and Senator Alexander, of Springfield. The Pennsylvania Republican Convention nominated Messrs. Hastrauft and Campbell for re-election as Auditor-General and Surveyor-General, and nominated as electors at large to the Chicago Convention, Col. John W. Forney and James IL Orues, of Philadelphia ; Gen. Harry White, of Indiana; and E. Reed Myer, of Bradford; substitutes, J. H. Blanchard, of Lawrence; Thomas E. Cochrane, of York ; Linn Bartholomew . , of Schuylkill ; and General William Lilly, of Carter. The Maryland Repub lican Convention nominated Mr. Cresswell, of that State, for Vice-President on the ticket with Grant, and elected as delegates at large to the Chicago Conven tion, John A. J. Creswell, John L. Thomas, jun., C. C. Ful ler, and E. F. Anderson. The New York Democratic State Convention met at Albany on Wednesday, and after hearing speeches from Marshall B. Champlain, the Presi dent, Horatio Seymour, and Samuel J. Tilden, Mr. Sey mour, Mr. Tilden, Sanford E. Church, and Henry C. Murphy, were elected delegates at large to the National Convention. Judge Underwood, on the 12th inst., postponed the trial of Jefferson Davis until April 14. Davis's bail was extended until that time, bat there is little expecta tion of the trial being hold even then. • Six women physicians in Philadelphia return yearly incomes ranging from $2,000 to $lO,OOO. Mrs. Elizabeth Darragh has been appointed inspector of tobacco in the collection district of Indiana. The Brooklyn Board of Education has refused, however, to appoint women to the superintendence of public schools. lowa has three female editors —Mrs. Money, of the Jefferson Era; Mrs. llartshorno, of the Croydon Monitor; and Mrs. Mary Read, of the Wright County Register. Feeding Hills, the birthplace of the Hon. Ben. Wade, is a healthy place, judging from the ages of six persons now living there :—John. Granger is 94, Mrs. W. Roberts 92, Gilbert Gaylord 90, Alfred Flower 83, Mrs. Hannah Smith 81, and Heber Miller 81. The three oldest men are members of the Congregational Church, and were all present at a recent Sunday service. The new St. James Hotel in Boston is six stories high, extending 190 feet on Newton-street and 215 , feet on James -street. The Newton-street front is adorned with towers 88 feet high at either end, and one in the centre 110 feet high, the roof being a Mansard. The interior is equally well designed. The dining room is floored with encaustic tile pavement from the celebrated Waterloo pot tories of Staffordshire, England. St. Patrick's-day has been enthusiastically ob served by the Irish residents in the principal cities of the Union, and passed off without disturbance. Advices from Cuba state that General Lersundi had ordered the Bishop of Cuba to leave the island for insubordination. • A number of hitherto unpublished writings of Artemus Ward are soon to appear, edited by the owner of the Biddeford, Maine, Democrat. In a few weeks the period will expire which Talleyrand stipulated should elapse after his death before his memoirs were published. He died on the 17th of May 1838. Mrs. " Stonewall" Jackson has received $15,000 from the sale of the life of her husband. General It. K. Scott, Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau, has been nominated by the Re publican Convention of South Carolina for Governor, and Samuel Booser fcr Lieutenant-Governor. Judge Henry Willes, of the New York Supreme Court, who had a high reputation as a jurist, has just died at his residence in Penn Yan. tie was elected to the bench in 1847, and had been in the Supreme Court for more than twenty years. The venerable Dr. Isaac Lincoln, of Brunswick, Maine, who was probably the oldest physician in the State, died on the 6th of March. He was a graduate of Harvard College in the class of 1800 with Washington, Allston, and Chief Justice Shaw. Julia Dean, the celebrated actress, died in New York, on Friday, March 7, aged 37. Mrs. Cooper was born in Pleasant Valley, New York State, July 30, 1830, and made her first appearance on the stage in Cincinnati on the 21st July, 1845. In 1856 she married Dr. Rayne, of South Carolina, from whom she was divorced on grounds attaching no suspicion of blame to herself, and married Mr. James G. Cooper, a Western merchant, she made s brilliant debut at the Broadway Theatre, where she con tinued to bo a great favourite. Her health compelled her to retire from the stage, and though her early death has taken the public by surprise, it was not unexpected by her intimate friends. Felix B. White, an actor of the olden time, has died in San Francisco, after a lingering illness of five years. He was 51 years of age, and a, man respected by those who knew him. Mrs. George Loder (Miss Emma Neville) died in Adelaide, South Australia, of typhus fever, after a short illness. She was a clever actress, and a teacher of music and singing. Mrs. Kate Warn, a celebrated female detective, and head of tke female department of Mr. Pinkerton'e agency for 13 years, has died lately. Many stories of her skill are told by the Chicago papers. William Queen, formerly an Eastern man, but for nine years past a resident of Montana, is now on ,a visit in the vicinity of Springfield, Massachusetts, and has pur chased of Whittemore, Belcher, and Co., of Chicopee Falls, a lot of side-hill plows and other agricultural tools for the slopes of that mountainous territory. Mr. Queen says agriculture is fast assuming an important position there. The name of Hoosac belongs to the Stockbridge Indian dialect. " Hoo," translated, is "through," and " sac "is "kettle." Thus Hoosac means "through the kettle." The authority for the above has been for mall years a resident among the remnant of the y StockbridS e tribe and others at the West, and ho further says that Housatonic means in the Stockbridge tongue " beyond the mountains," and nothing else. Preparations are being made in Baltimore for a general holyday and a public celebration, on the occasion of the arrival there, now daily expected, of the firs t steamer of a new line that has been established between Bremen and Baltimore. The Washington correspondent of the Standard writes :—We have further reports of the troubles in Mexico. Insurrection is spreading in the various dis" orderly States. It is alleged that a large amount ° I specie has been " smuggled" out of Vera Cruz, by the British Consul, on board the British mail stearnshiP Danube, and that the money is now on the way to Eng land. It is further asserted that the officers of the Dand le treated with great contempt the Mexican command to " stop," and that it was impossible to " get the guns of San Juan d' Ulloa ready in time" to enforce the command! In a letter to Romero, the Mexican Minister of Finance/ General Grant expresses a wish to visit Mexico. We shouldn't be surprised at finding the Southern negroes in a short time taking care of their white neigh" bours —setting them up in business, lending them money &c. ! —Boston Commonwealth. Dr. Ball, a negro, edits a Democratic paper in Lebanon, Illinois. The Special Commissioner of the Revenue of the United States received, through the State Department, from the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, a documentary col lection which has probably no counterpart on either side of the Atlantic. It is a complete exemplification, by means ° documents, of the whole revenue system of Great Britain, and includes every bill, estimate, or paper prepared 0r used in the British Treasury Department and in Parlia ment in the preparation of the financial budget for 1863 and 1866, with the progress of the enactment of the same into law, and the blanks for obtaining t he money for the different departments in accordance Wi t ' them. The documents, elegantly bound, were accora" pani , ed by a note from the Chancellor of the Exchequer to Special Commissioner Wells, stating that the papers 1 13 d been collected, arranged, indexed, and bound with a 'ill of affording to him a- complete insight into the detail 0 British financial legislation, and that an additional series of papers, illustrating the course of British local taxatiosl was in process of collection and preparation, and W ollld soon be forwarded.—New York Times. There has been unprecedented excitement in the New York Stock Board and in Wall-street for the P 3 'l few days owing to the quarrels of Vanderbilt and p re :' about the control of the Erie Railway. Gigantic corab .r. nations have been formed on both sides, and one day ths Drew party, who are "bearing" the stock, sold 40 ° shares, depressing the price from 83 to 71. The CO _ test is in all the New York courts, in the Leg is i° :: tare, and in the municipal departments, all tak i° : sides one way or the other, and it has affected the ()st ir " American money-market. Vanderbilt and Drew declare that they will fight it out until ohe or the other breal's ; and both seem to have almost unlimited means at CO °1 ; mand. One of the expedients resorted to by the D reg barty has been the withdrawal of several millions of green acks from circulation, so as to create an artificial stria' gency in the money-market, and prevent their ad Ter° saries from raising funds. For the moment the sPec ti; lation in Erie shares has entirely eclipsed the specula ti° in gold.
