On Sunday afternoon, Flynn, the Murphyite lecturer, took up a position in a large piece of vacant ground near the Market Hall, in West Hartlepool, and (rein thence commenced a harangue in his own pecu liar style; There was a great crowd of persons. For the first hour or more nothing of any note occurred, public feeling finding vent in hisses and cheers from the oppositely-inclined portions of the audience ; but at length the Irish commenced throwing stones and using other means of violence, whereupon the English turned upon them, and routed them from their positions. They, however, soon returned, reinforced by some further arrivals, including a few from neighbouring towns, and the attack was renewed, when a general snWe ensued, and the fighting on both sides became general. Showers of stones and bricks were hurled about in all directions, with more or less disastrous results, and on the Irish side there was a plentiful supply of pokers, cudgels, and other similar implements of warfare. The position of affairs was now rnoo-. serious, and defied all the efforts of a large detachment of police, under Superintendent Davidson, to restore quietness, and in the attempt to effect this they were subjected to some rough handling. One of the county force, named Thomas Hudsmith, was attacked by an Irish labourer, named Patrick Cairns, who felled the officer by a furious blow with a pair of iron tongs, which completely cut through his helmet, and inflicted a serious wound on his head. He was quickly removed to safer quarters by his brother officers, and a medical gentleman was sent for to attend to his wounds. Soon after this Monkhouse and another officer of the force were also attacked by Peter Alacglynn. Their injuries, however, Iwere not of so serious a nature. Cairns and the other men were taken into custody the same evening. A large 1 number of persons were more or less hurt in the row, but these were chiefly Irish, and no serious case has come to notice. Cairns and Macglynn have been taken before the magistrates at West Hartlepool Petty Sessions, and 1 each sentenced to two months' imprisonment with hard STAMPED bd. 711 E CONFERENCE Al IVHIIE SULPHUR ,SPRINGS. ( Froin the Anglo-Aniericaiz Times) The full text of General Rosecrans' letter and the reply of the Southern Generals is now given in the American papers. Both are dated White Sulphur Springs, A ugust 2G. Of course Rosecrans' letter is pulled to pieces and sneered at by the Republican papers. . He commenced by saying, " I come with my heart in my hand to learn the condition, wishes, and intentions of the people of the Southern States." His letter being addressed to General Lee indivi dually, he adds, " especially to ascertain the senti ments of that body of brave, energetic, and self sacrificing men who, after sustaining the Confede racy for four years, laid down their arms and swore allegiance to the Government of the United States, whose trusted and beloved leader you have been." The displacement of his heart, which he announces to be in his hand, is of course laughed at, and is said to account for the weakness and the sen timentality of the document. It was, however, clearly dictated by the earnest desire to do good by a distinguished Union officer, and to avert, if possible, the impending riots and disorder in the South. " I believe," said Rosecrans " every one I know who reflects believes e —that if the people of the Southern States could be at peace, and their energy and good-will heartily applied to repair the wastes of war, reorganize their business, set the freedmen peaceably, prosperously, and contentedly at work, invite capital, enterprise, and labour from elsewhere to come freely amongst them, they would soon rebuild their ruined for tunes, multiply many fold the value of their lands, establish public confidence in our political stability, bring our Government bonds to premium, our cur rency to gold standard, and assure for themselves and the whole nation a most happy and prosperous future." Those who have lately controlled the Government reply to the question why it cannot be done, that as the Southerners will not do it until the poor uneducated landless freedmen do,the six or eight mil lions of intelligent, energetic white people, must give in or move out of the country. Believing in a shorter way, he asks whether they who organized and sustained the Southern Confederacy for four years against gigantic efforts could not give peace, law, order, and protection to the people of the South, and adds, " are they willing to do it ?" He desires to learn their opinion, and requests a written expression of views that can be followed by a con currence of action. He will carry that pledge high above the level of party politics to the Union army, and people of North and West, con fident of a response so warm as to bring back the rainbow of peace to the now troubled political sky. He desired to have the signatures of all the Representative Southern men then at Sul phur Springs. General Lee's reply is cold, when contrasted with the gushing enthusiasm of the Union officer. He conferred with the Southern gentlemen, who joined in the answer to which they appended their names. African slavery and the State right to secede were settled by the war, and they desire in good faith to abide by that decision. After laying down their arms, through their State Conventions they abolished slavery, and annulled their ordinances of secession ; and they returned to their peaceful pursuits with a sincere pur pose to fulfil all their duties under the Consti tution of the United States which they had sworn to support. If their action in these particulars had been met in a spirit of frankness and cor diality, they believe that ere this old irritations would have passed away and the wounds inflicted by the war would have been in a great measure healed. As far as they are advised, the people of the South entertain no unfriendly feeling towards the Government of the United States, but they complain that their rights under the Constitution are withheld from them in the administration thereof. The Southern people are not hostile to and would not oppress the negroes who have grown up in their mi Ist and form the important part of the labouring population. Even the self-in terest would prompt care and protection, as the races are necessary to each other; this fact is be- coming known to both, and their relations would soon adjust themselves on a basis of mutual kind ness and advantage but for evil influences at work. " It is true that the people of the South, together with the people of the North and West, are, for obvious reasons, oppcesed to any ay tom of law which would place the political power of the country in the hands of the negro race. But thisopposition springs from uo feeling of enmity. but from a deep seated conviction that at present the negroes have neither the intelligence nor other qualifications which are necessary to make them safe deposi tories of political power. They would inevitably become the victims of demagogues, who for selfish purposes would mislead them to the serious injury of the public." Peace is what they earnestly desire ; they ask for their Constitu tional rights, relief from oppressive misrule, and, above all, the birthright of Americans, that of self government. That granted, they can safely promise the faithful obedience of the people to the Consti tutional laws of the United States and kind humane treatment to the negro.

On Tuesday afternoon the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports (Earl Granville, K.G.) distributed in St. George's Hall, Ramsgate, the certificates and prizes gained in the Oxford Local Examinations held last June for the Rares- gate centre. The attendance was large and fashionable, the large room being crowded. Earl GRANVILLE having distributed the prizes and certi ficates, offering his congratulations and good wishes to each student, said there could be no one, at least conver sant with this subject, not aware of the good which had already been produced by the local examinations of Oxford and Cambridge, and 'also by the matriculation examinations of the London University. The universities were all different in character. Some, like Oxford, were of great antiquity, great wealth, and great reputation ; while others were, like the London University, young, poor, and unshackled by position ; and all combined were, by their different modes of discipline, calculated to pro duce an immense effect upon the education of our country. They had proofs every day that these universities were striving, to open still wider the gates of their utility, and he hoped this generous rivalry would continue and bear all its fruits. He believed these examinations were eminently useful to parents, to schoolmasters, and also to scholars. With regard to parents, he believed that one of the most encouraging signs of public opinion at the present time was the anxiety that almost all parents felt to give their children not only as good, but 7HE HOMES OF GRANT AND COLFAX. rather a better education than that which they themselves had received. Now, it was extremely difficult, parti cularly for men occupied in the practical business of life, tome of whom, perhaps, were not very well educated themselves, while others, as they all felt themselves — partially forgot what they had learnt—it was, be said, extremely difficult for men intensely occupied with every day duties, to know what was the best education for their children, anti where it was best to place them. Now, he could not help thinking that his auditory would agree with him, that results, tested by these examinations, were of the greatest possible use as sign-posts to such parents. He could conceive nothing more useful for education and for schoolmasters than that a real te,t should be applied in this particular, and that those who were succeeding in the instruction of those who were tried by the unerring test aioptei by the universities should g A the credit and the reputation they deserved for their strenuous and well-directed efforts. Those whom lie was addressing probably knew that a memorial was recently sent to Oxford on the part of the leading members of the scholastic profession to go still further in this matter. They were not satisfied with the pupils being teeted, but had memorialised the University of Oxford to institute examinations for, and give certificates to, the teachers themselves, lie was glad to say he had the advantage of being in communica tion with some men who took a leading unit in the cause of education, and from what they had stated he felt quite sure that Oxford was disposed to look uppn the memorial he bad referred to with the greatest favour. The noble earl having referred to the local candidates, proceeded to speak with regard to the acquirement of modern languages, which he considered of vast importance, not only as re garded the culture of the mind, but also on account of the practical value thereof by reason of our intercourse with foreign nations. While he felt sorry to see that not a single candidate had presented himself for examination in German, he must heartily congratulate them that so many had passed successfully through their examination in the language of that country from which they in that part of England were separated by so few miles of sea, and with whom they were being closely associated by ties of national amity every day, rather than being sepa rated by feelings of jealousy and hatred. He felt it would not be of the slightest use to make observations at meet ings like the present if he could not criticise as well as praise, and he felt sorry to say there were two columns in the returns Mr. Hill had sent him that were blank. He was fully aware that the same columns were blank in every district except one or two. Still, he must say he should have been pleased to see a few names in each of the columns he referred to. The first column was " Mechanics," and the second " Chemistry." There might be some difficulties in the way, but they must remember the Government had afforded increased facilities for the acquisition of those branches of knowledge by means of the Department of Science and Art, and he was happy to say public opinion was growing in favour of these acquirements, the study of which formed a valuable discipline for the mind, and upon their extension depended In a great measure the success of this country in the arts of both peace and war. He hoped the committee would allow him to offer a prize to be given to the best candi date in future years in mechanics and chemistry. He should leave the matter in the hands of the committee, but might communicate himself with the Oxford authori ties to settle the conditions of the prize. (Hear, hear.) He now came to the effect these examinations had upon the boys, and could any one doubt that they had a beneficial result? Could any one doubt the value these examina tions gave to the instruction the boys received? Could any one doubt these examinations added to the esprit of the schools which had been successful? He believed they gave an entirely different spirit to the school. They gave boys a notion how useful instruction was, and caused more attachment to those masters who had imparted the instruction that had led to such satisfactory results. These examinations also encouraged the tutors themselves, and produced a generous rivalry among them. He knew there were some boys who, from ill health or other causes, could not distinguish themselves as some of their fellow-students did ; but if there were any who had not succeeded because of idleness he would impress upon them the absolute necessity of strenuous exertion if they would be successful in anything they undertook. The home of General Grant is an agreeable one to the visitor, and plainly shows the nature and taste of the occupant. Tall walnut book-cases sur round three sides of the library. Everything relat ing to the business of war is there, and histories in abundance. The usual display of fiction, essays, biography, philosophy, and works of general infor mation and reference, line the shelves. On the mantel is a cigar stand, a bronze statuette of a drummer, and another of a bugler. Engravings of Washington, Lincoln, Sherman, and Sheridan, and several photographs of Rogers's statuettes are the only pictures in the room. Easy chairs and lounges are placed carelessly about the room, and the library is without doubt the most cheerful and inviting apartment in the house. A miniature saddle and trappings in bronze and silver is fastened to cross sabres of the same metal. A bronze drum rests be side a stack of six-inch muskets; a cigar case from the home of Burns; a half dozen curiously formed and elaborately decorated pipes and cigar -holders; pow der-horns, mounted in gold and silver, each having its separate history, and a hundred rare little articles of vertu adorn the tables and mantelpieces. On a side table in tin boxes are the five military com missions of colonel, brigadier-general, major-gene ral, lieutenant - general, and general, with the parchments of brevet ranks which Grant has re ceived. Some very costly albums, prayer books, and bibles are also upon the table. An oil painting of Sheridan and one of M'Pherson's are prominently hung in the parlours, and a marble bust and an en graving of President Lincoln are also conspicuous. The home of Schuyler Colfa x is a plain but neat story and a half house, with a pleasant yard and garden around it. The owner is a widower, his wife, a native of Argyle, Washington county, having been dead for several years. The old house in which Mr. Colfax resided when his wife was living is on the bank of the river, and is a modest little cottage, whose ambition was satisfied with a single span in height and a gable end to the street. Two or three cherry trees and a vigorous apple tree, no doubt planted by the owner's hand, furnish the shade and brnarneut the wea spot. The neighbours of Mr. (3-01 fax say he is economical in Washington, but Jiheral at home. Every cause and public enterprise, here gets a lift from him. When he returns hoilie j festivals and parties begin, awl a round of entettainments, until he has shared the hospitalities aeach roof. Mr. Geo. Brunt, of Sheffield, who had just been committed for trial for the attempted murder of his partner one Mr. Slitter, has committed suicide. On Sunday, while coming from the prison chapel, returning to his cell, he pitched himself over the bannisters, causing almost imme diate death. The follos jog . are the exact words of the oath administered to the four Chinese witnesses in a recent case, wherein the celestial tried was charged with having in true " helicon" man's fashion shot another celestial with a pistol. "All the four witnesses coining the court, tell truth, hole truth, not thing but on the truth, show help the God ; suppose don't tell the truth, die like the chicken, and tell all truth go home to China and the short time." The foregoing oath is written out in full and a copy given to each witness. The chickens are produced in court, and each witness, in taking the oath, seizes the hatchet and strikes off a chicken's head, sprinkling their w ritten oath with the trickling blood, and then burning it I up. The best of it—or rather the worst of it—was that every one of them lied after going through this solemn ceremony. How TO KEEP THE PRICES DOWN.—At a time when in England complaints are frequent against the high prices charged by butchers and bakers, it may interest some of our readers to know how the Belgian housewife ontrives to keep the prices down. Early on Saturday morning 2f. per pound were asked for butter brought into the Brussels market by the country people, who had en tered into a compact not to sell it for less. The buyers, however, were determined not to be imposed upon, and many went away without making any purchase, which quickly brought the price down to half its original standard. SEVERE HAILSTORM IN NORFOLK —North Nor folk has been visited this week with a severe hailstorm. One gentleman, writing from Cu-next-the-Sea, says : "I have scarcely a whole pane of glass in the front of my house, and my conservatory is demolished in lobo, the grapes being cut from their stalks, and the stalks from tl.e tree. Great damage is done to fruit trees, and the vege tables and flowers are destroyed, outdoor marrows being :Alt from their stalks as cleanly as if the gardener's knife had been at work. The large window of our church was demolished iu a moment. The Wesleyan chapel adjoining my house is rendered unfit for public worship ; sac k s are obliged to be nailed across the sashes to keep the wind and weather out."
