_ SPIRIT OP Tilt PUBLIC JO'OSINIAL It was necessary that Lord Mayo should inform his Con stituents that he was not a candidate for re-election ; but his announcement that he is about to be Governor-General of India sounds, in the opinion of the Saturday Review, too much like a challenge to fortune. No man, if the ancient maxim may be so far modified, ought to think himself happy in the possession of office until he is sworn in. The man who sold the lion's skin was killed in hunting him ; and Sir John Lawrence has not yet completed his term, which expires at the end of the year. If Parliament meets between the 10th and 15th of December, the decisive vote will be taken before Christmas ; and Lord Mayo can scarcely anticipate with confidence that a hostile Ministry may not have succeeded to power before New Year's Day. He will himself have sailed for India in November, but his ship will not outrun the telegraph ; and the successors of Mr. Disraeli and Sir Stafford Northcote will not fail to take advantage of any irregularity which may have been incurred for the purpose of securing a great appoint ment to a member of the outgoing Cabinet. It is an invidious and disagreeable duty to criticise the intellectual or practical capacity of any man, and more especially of an upright and intelligent public servant ; but Lord Mayo has only himself and his friends to thank for unpleasant commentaries on his personal qualifications for high office. The statesmanlike faculties which ought to have been indispensable conditions of the appointment are, according to the legal jingle, certainly not patent, and it is barely possible that they should be latent. Lord Mayo expects to succeed a Viceroy who surpasses nearly all his predecessors in his familiarity with the circum stances and administration of India. As Governor- General of Canada, or as governor of a great Australian colony, Lord Mayo would have been qualified, by good sense and courtesy of demeanour, to perform constitu tional functions which require tact rather than originality or genius. In India he may at any time be required to determine, at short notice, some question involving the fate of the empire. The Spectator thinks the effect of the nomination of Messrs. Seymour and Blair upon the Democratic chances has been an unexpected and, on the whole, from the Demo cratic point of view, a favourable one. It was supposed that it would deepen the distrust of Republicans, and, therefore, increase their energy in opposition ; but Repub lican distrust was already as deep as it could be. On the contrary, it has brought the more thorough-going men of the Democratic party to the top, has encouraged them to speak out, has secured them the allies who are always attracted by audacity, and has relieved them from a kind of necessity of hypocrisy which destroyed alike their energy and their prestige. Fortunately for the Union the Republicans of the North have been aroused by the frank ness of their old enemies, are closing their ranks, and reducing their platform to the single question of the right of the nation to rule its component parts. They are not intending to substitute government by a majority for government by a constitution, and have no design of " wiping out State lines," or setting up a centralised government at Washington. No plan so complete or so scientific has entered into their heads, nor are they yet so fully emancipated from their S old dogma of the plenary inspiration of all paragraphs, words, letters, and commas in the Constitution. They are simply determined that when the nation and the State are in open and violent conflict the nation shall rule, and that to preventsuch con flicts the loyal section of the Southern population shall have votes. The Southerners and their allies are asked to surrender nothing except those distinctions of colour which caused the war, and not even those if they can reconcile them with the real and thorough abolition of a system of society dangerous to the life of the Republic. If they would consent to legislate for the blacks as they legislate for white women, the North would not hesitate to place the negroes in the women's position—to invest them, that is, with every civil, legal, and social right, but no political power. We have never hesitated to say that until the negro and the mean white have both been educated that position would be far better for the dark man, for the South, and for the Union, than one of nominal equality ;.but this posi tion the South clearly refuses to grant—as witness the scenes in Louisiana, Alabama, and Texas—and the Nos th, therefore, falls back upon negro suffrage, not out of hostility to State rights, but out of regard for the national life. To say the Republicans are therefore trying to set up a revolutionary government at Washington is an abuse of words. The whole of their difficulties have arisen from their dislike to revolutionary measures. They could have governed the South as Bengal is governed, easily enough, and it is their very respect for State rights, their horror of breaking with the Constitution, which has produced all their embarrassments. They demand as little as they possibly can—as we think, far too little—but that little they cannot surrender, be State rights what they may, without sacrificing the nation. We admit the doubtful ness, to say the least, of most accounts front the Pacific States, and the unanimity of the vote Kentucky, and Maryland, and States of their temper will throw for Mr. Seymour. We perceive a!so, or• think we perceive, a symptom which we frankly confess we do not understand, the ex's:ence in the ranks of R-publican politicians of a half-consc:ous d's!aste for General Grant, or distrust of him, for we hardly know which it is. Whether they dis trust his ability as statesman, or dislike his " lenity " to the South—a lenity quite consistent with faithfulness to his duty—or are annoyed with his persistent silence, or think him rather the choice of the people than their own, we cannot at this distance detect, but the feeling - is unmis takably there. Nevertheless, in spite of all these things, we believe he will be the next President of the United States. The power of election does not belong to the politicians, but to the freeholders, and they no snore share the Isoliticians' feeling about General Grant than the English electors share the members feeling about Mr. Gladstone. They intend to reward the general who saved the country, and to assert the supremacy of the nation over any part of the nation, and to forbid serfage by one and the same act, the election of the Republican nominee to the Presidency of the Union. The entire body of candiates, says the Imperial Review, may still be divided, as it might have been any time these forty years, into three classes • ' honest Conservatives, honest Radicals, and scarcely honest Whigs ; men who wish substantially to preserve the Consitution, men who wish substantially to subvert it; and men who care very little whether it is subverted or preserved, provided they can contrive to keep the main direction of it or of its substi tute in their own hands. When genuine Conservatism is neither very stron nor very vigilan*,_ Whigs affect a spurious Conservatism of their wn. When, on the other hand, it is both watchful, active, and influential, the law of their existence compels them to affect a spurious Radicalism. Their attitude at the present moment is the best proof imaginable that the party to which they are historically opposed is in the soundest possible condition. For, in spite of all that has been said on the subject, we very much doubt if the Whigs had abandoned all hope, although it is clear that they have lost all chance of governing England once more. The appearance on the scene of such candidates as Lord Hyde, in South Warwickshire, Mr. J. L. Warren, in Mid-Cheshire, the Hon. George Brodrick, at Woodstock, and the indescribable Lord Amberley, in South Devon, are quite enough, even were they unattended with other incidents, to raise the suspicion that a very old game is being attempted yet once again. None of these gentlemen have the smallest difficulty in subscribing their names to the most extreme Radical pro gramme ; but however moderate may be our estimate of their sagacity 2 we cannot think them fatuous enough to believe, much less to hope, that it will ever be carried out. Look where we will, we see the same farce being played —that of RadicAls by instinct, position, and ambition, being. shoved aside by men who wear the mask of Radicalism, for the double purpose of crushing their rivals and confronting their foes. Naturally the Church question occupies a prominent place in Mr. Bright's declaration of policy. He deals with this, says the London Review, in a very characteristic, and, at the same, a very prudent manner. All argument he puts aside at once and decidedly. He treats the prac tical question as settled, and only in combating Mr. Disraeli's taunts of Ritualist-Romanist conspiracy does he overthrow with one trenchant phrase the entire fabric of ingenious misconstruction which the Tories have piled over the policy of Mr. Gladstone. "We do not touch religion at all.' are the words of the war-cry that the great Radical champion has given his party, and they come opportunely to defeat the tactics of clerical firebrands and astute sowers of tares. The ill-judging r3al of these must be met in time, and it cannot be better opposed than by the terse sentence in which Mr. Bright has asserted the political character of Mr. Gladstone's policy. "We do not touch religion at all." On this issue let the battle be fought. The latter part of Mr. Bright's address is the only part in which he rises to anything like fervour, though all that he says is permeated with a quiet earnest ness which is quite as effective as the loudest declamation. But in his concluding sentence Mr. Bright encounters his ancient enemy, " the minority clause," and kindles at the . bight and thought of it. When Mr. Bright is in a passion he is. very much in a passion. He says to himself, "I do weft to be angry ; r.nd piles up crushing epithets one over the other at a rate which takes ae ay the quiet observer's breath, though it clearly fails to satisfy the impatient wrath of Mr. Bright. l 4 or our own part, while we- disapprove as much ag Mr. Bright of the minority clause in principle, we cannot look upon it as so mischievous in practice as he would have it to be. In the comities it will probably seat two or three Liberal mem bers. In the great boroughs, where, as Mr. Bright says, it was introduced with the design of reducing those Radical and progressive constituencies to the level of small boroughs that only return one member to Parliament, it has altogether failed, if such was, indeed, the object of its promoters. The speeches of the Liberal members, says the John Bull, confirm the view that a further appeal must be made to the people on the Irish Church. In Cornwall we are told that upwards of 100 Liberals have resolved to vote for the Conservative can didate ; at Southampton there is a rumour that a hithert o leading Liberal is about to solicit the suffrages of the electors in the Conservative interest ; in East Suffolk a rural dean, formerly an active partisan of the Liberal party, is keenly canvassing for signatures for the Church and State Society's address to the Queen, supporting the T o ry party. With these, and many similar signs of the times, the moderate Liberals are crettieg rather uncomfortable. The clerical supporters of Mr. Gladstone whisper in his ear that he is really going too far and too fast. Either Mr. Gladstone will be frightened (which is very improbable) at the democratic feeling he has raised, and, with Sir R. Palmer, Mr. A. Peel, and others, refuse to carry out the extreme views of his tail, in which case it is hardly . worth the trouble of bringing about two Ministe. rial crises ; or he will be led on by his impetuosity and the force of circumstances, against his own better will, to sup port, when the time comes, the practical abolition of the House of Lords, the disestabbshment of the Church of p1ig4nd 2. E4411 . 4 diyi4ou of the baud . l'Zt ELOQUENCE OF "CONSTITU- TIONALISM.", Couftltutionalism" is, it muss be owned, a grefa l i • mystery. 'A'S a conundrum it is quite as good in its watt as the representation of minorities. Mr. Tipping, a "Constitu tional" candidate for Stockport, has just published his rd dress, which is more remarkable for its poetical fang Age than its intelligibility. It contains the following fine sen tence, reminding one strongly of the mawkish platitudes which the more weak-minded of our grandfatberatwere in the habit of propounding after dinner unair the name of sentiments :—" The bulk of the nation is invested with the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. With a gauge so widened it is more than ever essential that the wheels of progress should bite tho consti tutional rails." Mr. Tipping, it should be added, is a rail way director. —Pall Malt Gazette. MISS RYE'S CANADIAN SCHEME. The Pall Mall Gazette remarks that Miss Rye has not been so successful in Canada as she desiro'l. She hoped to induce the Government to assist her in bringing out another shipload of young women, but sho offered a hundred pounds, which was tantamount to a refusal. A Toronto paper explains that the motive for withholding the aid applied for is the uncer tainty whether the girls would remain in Canada after the Go vernment bad paid all their expenses. The people look with greater favour on the proposal to send them orphans from England, for children they could hope to bring up, so that they would afterwards settle in the dominion. Tho Mormon arrangement is worth Miss Rye's notice— we mean, of course, only as regards recruiting their colony. Money is advance 4 to people who desire to go to Utah, but they are expected to repay it. It is easier to carry out this scheme in Utah than it would be in Canada, but still something could be done by its means to induce the immigrants to settle down, instead of yielding to the delu sion that in the United States they would be better off. The Canadian Government might perhaps be more favourably inclined towards Miss Eye's proposal if she would incorpo rate this plan with it. FIRE-ESCAPE ACCIDENT. On Thursday evening a number of new fire-escapes, similar in construction and turned out by the same maker as those which obtained prize medals at the Great Exhibi tion of 1851, and also at the International Exhibition, were publicly tested at the depOt of the Metropolitan Brigade, at Doctors'-commons. The machines had been respectively tested by the weight of three or four of the firemen running up and down the machine, and at length six men were sent up the escape to test its capability for bearing a large number of persons in the event of a fire breaking out. Whilst going through these dangerous evolutions, at the time there were six or seven men on the ladder, a loud crash was heard, and the fire men were seen falling upon each other. Two were precipitated foremost down an opening lead ing to the basement of the old Prerogative Court. All the other hands present ran forward to the rescue of their companions, when some were found to have sus• tallied severe flesh wounds ; but two of the conductors were supposed to have received concussion of the brain, and after being seen by a medical man they were placed in a cab and conveyed to the hospital. It is stated that both men arc past recovery. THE CABMEN'S STRIKE. At a meeting of the Amalgamated Hackney Carriage Proprietors' Association, held yesterday at the offices, the following resolution was unanimously adopted : " That, as the railway companies still deny the right of all hackney carriages to enter their stations to bring away fares, we, the non-privileged proprietors and drivers, refuse to enter the stations to take there any fare what ever ; and we hereby pledge ourselves to withdraw our cabs from the stands on Saturday morning, Septem ber 5, and to keep them so withdrawn every day afterwards (subject only to a bare compliance with the requirements of the Act) until the railway companies shall have thrown open their stations to all cabs, subject to proper regulations." An immense meeting of drivers was held yesterday morning at the Orange Three, Artillery-row, Westminster. Resolutions in favour of a complete strike were passed. At midnight the cab drivers met at Hunt's-yard, Earl-street, Edgware road, and continued deliberating until three o'clock. Reso lutions in favour of a strike were passed. An aggregate meeting of the trade is about to be held on Primrose-hill. An excursion train having left King's-cross yes terday morning, almost all the e-xcursionists had to carry their luggage, or get it carried, to the terminus. The utmost unanimity is said to exist between the unprivileged masters and men, and there is every indication that to-day London will be cabless. THE ABERGELE ACCIDENT A. YD FENIANISM. The Abergele coroner has received a letter from Liverpool which is of a very extraordinary character, and which attributes the accident near Abergele to Fenianism. It is probably a hoax. The envelope was covered with writing—on the top, in large writing, "On her Majesty's service." On the right side was the word " Immediate," and on the left corner, " Important informa tion ! Fenian plot ! Investigate !" The envelope was dated Liverpool, Chester, and Abergele, August 29, 1868. The letter sets forth that the Fenians have been much annoyed at the honours conferred by the Lord-Lieutenant, who has been so active and influen tial in putting down the conspiracy, and suggests that " when they placed the trucks in the way, they calculated for a certainty that the Duchess of Abercorn would be blown up along with the rest, and which not happening has much annoyed the Fenians here." The letter asks whether any .of the railway officials are Irishmen and Roman Catholics, and concludes by say ing :—" We send you this, Mr. Coroner, by way of a loyal manifestation against that accursed system of Popish under•plotting Fenianism, in the hope that these hidden traitors may be broughtto justice, and the true cause of this sad disaster which you are inquiring after be brought to light, and the guilty parties punished. We are, Mr. Coroner, your most obedient servants, James —, Ed ward —, William —, Alexander - —, Charles —, Henry --, and on behalf of others. We withhold our surnames for the present." The doctors in attendance on the Prince Royal of Belgium state in their daily bulletins that no change in the condition of their patient has taken place for several days. The well-known chemist Schonbein has just died at Baden. Bo was sixty-nine years of age, having been born at Mitzingen, in ,Wurtemberg, in 1799. For many years he had resided at Basle. Ms name is furious as the discover of ozone and the inventor of gun-cotton. Two omnibus drivers were charged at Marlborough street Police Court yesterday with furious driving. The evi dence showed that they were "nursing" each other down the Edgwaro-road. One omnibus was driven on to the pavement and damaged. Mr. Knox committed one driver for a month, and the other for 14 days, with bard labour. The Tipperary constabulary have arrested another tenant-farmer, bearing the name of Dwyer, of Ballycohey, on the suspicion that he had a connection with the late out rage. The mark of a recent wound was found on his head. and when brought before Mr. William Scully he was identi fied as having been in the yard of the farm-house on the day of the attack on the police party. The Rev. A. G. Manson, a clergyman at Ramsgate, writes : " I am happy in being able to state that I have received from each of the four candidates for East Kent an affirmative answer to both the questions propounded by the Church Association in the enclosed paper," viz.:-Ist. Will you support a bill in the next Parliament to put down the Ritualistic practices con demned by the Royal Commissioners?" 2nd. " Will you support a bill for the reform of the ecclesiastical courts ?" The British Medical Journal has been much amused, not to say surprised, on looking over the out-patient acci dent books of the various London hospitals for two months, to find that of 121 " tilos" of different kinds en tered, 18 were attributed to men or women, which num ber was in excess of any other animal, with the ex ception of dogs, who were accused of inflicting the large number of 85. Horse-bites numbered 12 ; cat-bites, 5 ; the monkey and donkey being accused of one each. The two remaining wore simply catered as "bites." We certainly have no reason to be proud of our exalted position. The four Arabs recently condemned to death at Tlemcen, in Algeria, for the murder of the Saint Germ family succoeded in escaping on the 24th ult. from the prison in which they were confined, pending the hearing of an appeal Against their sentence. They managed to liberate their feel from the iron bar to which they were attached, and, having torn it up, attacked the jailor and soldier on guard, and got away by climbing over a wall. The alarm having been given, the quarter of the town to which they bad been traced was surrounded by troops, and the criminals wore re. captured in an oi l house In which they had conocalod thou. Faye, Tho ohioi turukeY wag OWN& woudetl, SPAIN AND THE REV OLEn lON. Not a stone is left unturned by the Revolu tionary party in Europe to bring about a com motion in Spain. Their aim is to bring Spain down to the level of Italy, and since the Queen is identified with the cause of religion and order, nothing less than her dethronement can satisfy the disloyal conspirators. And who are these conspirators ? Are they of the people of Spain ? There is not a single man who has the confidence of the people in their ranks. Do they belong to the Grandees or to the Car lists ? There is not a name of note among them, not a man of influence of Spanish birth. The Church and the immense influence which it justly exercises throughout Spain is not on the side of a revolution as ungodly as it is un patriotic. Its only strength is in the army, which has been for the last forty years the constant instrument of revolution - in Spain. Ambitious, disappointed, unprincipled soldiers of fortune are the stuff out of which Spanish revolutions arc manufactured. From Espartero to Prim, a succession of military adventurers has tortured unhappy Spain. The plague of a lawless army is the malaise under which the country suffers, and not, as the Duke of Mont pensier insinuates in his mischievous protest, the rule of a Queen who knows how to support religion and order if needs be with the sword against foreign traitors and against native sol diers who ;have dishonoured the commission they bear. General Prim's abortive insurrection was a purely military pronunciamiento. The people had no share or sympathy with it. Soldiers are bribed or induced to follow a General who pretends that his object is to free the Queen and country from a rival General who holds both in unwilling thraldom ; his success de pends upon the number of dupes he may secure among the military commanders. These military revolts have been too successful in upsetting a Alinistry, and in installing in power and wealth and honours the leaders of such plots, not to induce unprincipled and ambitions Generals in the Spanish army to cast in their lot • with any conspiracy which may be set on foot. The late plot was one of this nature : a few Generals who had influence over certain regiments, a garrison in this town or that , together with a certain number of the troops in the Capitol, conspired to march upon Madrid and declare the deposition of the Queen, and in the alleged interests of the throne and dynasty to proclaim the Prince of Asturias King under the regency of the Duke and Duchess of Montpensier. But the Govern ment, by seizing upon a half dozen generals, and simply shipping them out of the country, frustrated the plot. It had no substance apart from these generals. On their arrest the con spiracy collapsed. There was no popular move ment—nothing to indicate that the nation had heart or hand in the treacherous design of seiz ing upon the person of the Queen, and of setting up a Prince of the House of Orleans as virtual Regent of Spain. If the country is suffering tinder a grave malaise, caused according to the disloyal allegation of the Duke of Montpensier by the misrule of the Queen, why is there no expression of popular ill-will at the failure of the plot of the six generals, or still more, at the banishment from Spanish soil of the aspiring Duke, kinsman of the Queen, whom he was willing to betray. It cannot be alleged that the nation is terror stricken, and dare not show sympathy with the six generals who betrayed their Queen; for never was there a plot of so treasonable a character followed by so slight and con temptuous a punishment. No blood has been shed, no terrorism exercised, and the Spanish people, whom the half dozen conspirators and the agents of the Rei , olutionary party in Europe, declare to be ground to dust under the foot of an ignominious tyranny, quietly and carelessly acquiesce in the transportation of its half dozen would-be deliverers. The conspiracy, detected in time, has an ugly look about it. it looks as if it were got up not by a " tortured" people, to use again the Duke de Montpensier's words, against a tyrannical Go vernment, but by a traitor army against their Queen. It is a private plot, not a national rising. Its leaders avowed or concealed are not known or popular men, but half a dozen perjured generals, and a foreign Duke. Such being the facts of this latest Spanish plot, the aim of the Revolutionary party is to conceal its true character. Accordingly, ever since its detection, the Revolutionary press has spread by means of false telegrams and mis leading correspondence, the most alarming intelligence of risings in this town, and bom bardments in the other, until hasty readers were led. to believe that Spain, convulsed by popular outbreaks, was on the eve of a ter rible catastrophe ; then followed a mysteri ous silence. The Spanish Government, it was ' alleged, in possession of terrible news, allowed no report of the calamities which either had already befallen or were impending over Spain, to reach the outer world. At last it had to be acknowledged that none of these supposed horrors had come to pass. There had been no towns bombarded, no risings in the country, no burnings of churches, no manifestations of ill-will against the Queen of Spain, no expres sions of sympathy with rebellious regiments. It is now the tactics of the Revolutionary party to say that if all these things have not taken place they are on the eve of being accomplished; that a " grave malaise" exists in the country, caused by the Government ; that the Queen is execrated by the mass of the people ; that they are ripe for change, that is, for revolution such as now rules in unhappy Italy. It is with regret we see that the Paris correspondent of the Times lends himself to this conspiracy against truth. He cannot broadly deny, having, more regard for facts than, more hardened ad herents of the Revolution, that wherever the Queen goes in the country she is welcomed with manifestations of fidelity and attach ment, but he insinuates that the hurrahs and vivas, the eager crowds and lusty hand clapping, " are not genuine . expressions of loyalty; but are supplied, doubtless, as in some other countries unnecessary to . name, by " un dertakers" of enthusiasm, persons who pro vide triumphal arches, and laurel wreaths, and loyal inscriptions in coloured lamps, and bands of blushing virgins, clad in book muslin, and bearing bouquets." The insinuation that the enthusiasm which the people of Spain show towards their Queen "doubtless" is " got up," is followed, as the writer warms with his topic, by the ,broader assertion, that "if the Queen meets applause when she drives abroad, it is from hired clappers or servile Government de pendants. By the mass of the nation she is despised and execrated, and deep is the regret many feel that she was not expelled the coun try in 1854." Here we have the full flavour of the revolu tion ; no longer insinuations, but the broad statement, as a matter not of inference but of fact, that the Queen of Spain is execrated by the mass of the nation. We have no hesitation in stating, on evidence capable of standing the severest cross-examination,' that this allegation is a calumny against the loyalty of the people of Spain, a glaring misstatement of a public fact patent to every man familiar in the least with the actual state of things in Spain. It is a falsehood industriously cir culated by the Revolution, and heedlessly re peated by a writer so inexact as the Paris cor respondent of the Times. Whatever else may be called in question by the Revolutionary press, which for years has propagated the grossest calumnies against her, this is true, that the Queen of Spain is beloved as the friend of order and of religion—we do not say by a clique of conspirators in the army, or by a certain class in some of the larger commercial cities, or by the secret socie ties—but by the mass of the people in every order and rank of life in town and ,country.— Westminster Gaeette.

From Canada we learn that the Nova Scotian delegates who have returned from London represent that the Home Government regards its recognition of the Union Act as paramount to the colonial objection, but that that recognition was based on the apparent con sent of the people of Nova Scotia, to whom, never theless, the right of appeal remains. The other items not noticed elsewhere are that Senator Sher- man, ix a speech at Columbus, Ohio, declared his belief that the bonds are payable in Legal-Tender. Advices from Cuba state that the Captain-General has ordered that no passenger should be allowed to land on the island without a passport certified by a Spanish consul. Grave apprehensions exist that Mr. Bayard Clarke, an American gentleman, was among those killed in the accident to the Irish mail train at Abergele. It appears that Lieutenant-Colonel Wickham, of 11.111.'s 33,1Regiuyant, wrote to Colonel Rich, stating his fear that his friend had, as he ic tended, travelled by that train, as he had not since been heard of. He carried a revolver, a gold hunt- ing chronometer watch, with hands of a peculiar colour ; on his finger was a blood-stone ring en graved with his arms. This letter induced Colonel Rich to have the debris again sifted, and a revised list of the property made out, and we believe that the remains of a revolver have been found. The strike continues in New York, and the loss during the five weeks is estimated at $300,000. The strikers are sustained by the workmen of other trades, whO recognize their own cause in the figh between the bricklayers and their employers, ant anxiously await the result. The heavy drain on the funds accumulated in anticipation of the movement is rapidly consuming the resources of the men they are, however, encouraged by the partial sue cess of the colliers in Pennsylvania, most of whom have returned to their work under the old ten-hour system, having split the difference with their em ployers. Ten hours' pay for eight hours' work really means an advance of 20 per cent. in wages, and they have compromised for an advance of 10 per cent. In'Springfield Colonel Benton informed the men working in the armoury and water shops that he had orders to cut down their pay in propor tion to the two hours deducted from their labour. The men continue at work, taking their chance of getting full wages. The case has been submitted to the Attorney-General for an opinion by the Go vernment workmen generall3—whether the law of Congress reducing the hours of labour to eight daily in the Government shops may, as affirmed by Government agents, be interpreted to authorise corresponding reduction in salaries. Salnave, who is holding on to Hayti by his eye lids, is said to have ceded the Bay of St. Nicholas to the United States. It matters little, we suppose, that he does not control the territory, as the bay forms a good harbour only 40 miles distant from Cuba, and easy of defence. He is said to meditate an early flight to the United States, and has sent off his effects and some of his relatives, but they were captured on shipboard by the insurgents. However desirable might be the purchase, the' title will scarcely be a good one derived from Saluave. Among the crimes and casualties which the last mail brings from the United States we find that we were premature in announcing the destruction of D. Appleton and Co.'s publishing house. The fire broke out in Green-street, in the next residence, and the building where it originated was consumed, with loss of property to the value of $123,000. The adjoining printing-office of John F. Trow had as p narrow an escape as the pre mises of the Messrs. Appleton. The record of crime is unusually large. Messrs. Thomas, Howard, and Johnson, partners of a wholesale stationer's house in Buffalo, have been detected in defrauding the Government out of $250,000, in collusion with A. F. Lee, late of the Post-office in a contract for f urnishin g that depart ment with blanks, envelopes, &c.,which were never supplied. Both Lee and several members of the firm have been arrested, and in each case held to bail in the sum of $lO,OOO. Mr. Lavot Cabal, member of a New York and Philadelphia firm of brokers, and president of the Allentown Iron Com pany, Philadelphia, has abscoaaea, leaving a vast, 's accounts. He appears deficiency in the company to have speculated with the funds entrusted to his c o re, and it is feared that the loss IN ill amount to half a million dollars. Many railway collisions have been attended with fatal results. On the 15th August one occurred in Pennsylvania, near Rouserville, when five men were killed and fifteen injured. On the same day two r ailr oad employes were killed at Rhinebeck, seven men, besides ten wounded near Fre mont station, by a train of the victim u N New York. Alexander Green fell a ew Jersey, and Union Pacific R ailroad t hrown from the track. After that eventf ul da y two men were killed, and twelve injured, on the 18th August, near Galena, es is reported in Colorado.

Active measures were taken throughout the State, the militia enrolled, and troops pushed forward, and the result was that the savages were driven from the Solomon River Valley. The pursuit was so hot, the Indians retreat ing towards the Arkansas River, that seve ral of the settlers' children they had stolen were abandoned and found in the woods, but six women were known to have been carried into cap tivity. The cause of the trouble is supposed to have grown out of a recent fight between the Cheyennes and Pawnees, the former getting the worst of it, and they aro supposed to have attacked all the settlements f r om reyenge. General Sheridan had sent plenty of troops and gone in person to the place of hostilities. The news from Colorado shows that the movement is general among the tribes, and we fear that Uncle S3llll will be compelled to undertake a war of extermination. President John son has ordered the forcible expulsion of hostile Indians from Kansas. A newspaper entitled L' Independence Canadienne, professing to be a people's journal, has been started in Montreal by a French Canadian named Mederic Lanctot. Envious, we suppose, of the fat livings secured by Fenian editors, who thrive on a denun ciation of England, he wants to cut in for a share in the new field offered by Lower Canada. The tyranny which has marked the British yoke wher ever established has galled the soul of this patriot, who has arisen like a Bruce or a Te.ll to redeem his country, and comes forth absolutely bursting with eloquence. M. Lanctot braves the lien in his den, and writes his publication in the largest of Cana dian cities, flaunting it under the nose of the British mercenaries with that disregard to personal safety which has so eminently characterized such patriots. He finds that in independence English manufactur ers would be prevented from making a tariff to !suit themselves, and the capitalists would at once be enabled to withdraw their funds now tied up in banks to invest with profitable results in industry, manufactures, and commerce. The patriot fails to inspire in the United States that interest in his proceedings which he considers is his due from a free people ; bat the Americans are Natided with the progress of Canada, which they are persuaded when the time comes, if, as they believe, the Union must embrace the Continent, will peacefully take its place in the Federation even without the action of the patriot Lanctot, who is desired to moderate his transports, and requested, in consideration for his countrymen, not to make himself and them ridicu- Lous. Indeed, even Nova Scotia has failedto arouse any sympathy in its appeals to the United States. Americans have quite as much territory as they can manage for many a long year to come, and, al though they would like to reform that blot on civilization to the South of the Rio Grande, they have no desire to meddle North of the St. Law- ren ce. The Colorado arrived at San Francisco on the Gth August, from China and' Japan, with 80 cabin passengers and 800 Chinese in the steerage, having made the passage in thirty days from lion; Kong. Her cargo consisted of twenty thousand packages of silk and tea for the United States and Europe. A telegram had been received from "San Francisco " Civil war is raging in Japan. The native Christians are persecuted, and one thousand were sent to the mines, the foreign ministers remonstrat ing. Gold has been discovered in China, causing great excitement among the celestials." The steam ship marine of San Francisco is rapidly increasing _ . . Six round trips are now made with Panama every month, and one to the Sandwich Islands every twenty days. in the same period the voyage is made to Mexican ports, a semi-monthly line to British Columbia, a tri-monthly to Oregon, and a coast line to the California ports north and south of San Francisco ; the fleets required for the work number 40 steamers and aggregate 60,000 tons. This is independent of the river fleet, equalling in equipment that of any country, and a sea-going sailing force entering and departing from the port of 350,000 tons annually. The City of Baltimore carried from Liverpool on Wednesday for New York the cricketers selected to visit the States to play a series of matches. Their names are—Willsher (captain), Griffith, Row- botham, Humphrey, Jupp, Pooley, Smith, Tarrant, A. Shaw, Charlwood, Freeman, and J. Lillywhite. A large number of cricketiog men assembled to bid them " good bye." Nine years ago a great inter- national match came off, the All England Eleven . _ being pitted against an American Twenty-Two. I • ' - - - was then that Americans first learned as a nation that cricket of all games requires most training The Americans were mere children in the hands o the All England Eleven, and were surprised and even mortified at a result any one who knew the game could have told them was certain. Although we have little doubt that the English players will win, they will find that the game is now much better understood in America, and they will not pass over the country as they did be fore, beating their adversaries with scarcely an effort. During the first week they will play matches against two selected twenty-twos from various clubs in New York and vicinity ; the second week they will play matches in Montreal with a twenty-two selected from officers of her Majesty's regiments and various Canadian cricket clubs ; the third week they will play two matches in the neighbourhood of Boston against a twenty-two selqcted from Massachusetts cricketers ; the fourth week will be given to Philadelphia, where they will meet Ameri can cricketers ; and the fifth week will be given to New York, when, possibly, they may be induced to enter into a contest with an American nine at the American game of base-ball. The limes publishes the following telegram, dated New York, Thursday night :—" Mr. J. T. Hoffmann has been nominated for Governor. Re solutions have been passed in favour of the pay ment of the United States debt in papermoney, the early resumption of specie payments, a general am nesty, and the taxation of the National Debt. Re solutions have been passed against negro suffrage and the Congress Reconstruction plan." The New York Times says that according to a telegram from Washington the friends of President Johnson de clare that he will embark for Europe on the sth of next March, and seek relief in foreign countries from the arduous duties he has had to perform during his term of office. General W. S. Rosecrans is to start on the Ist of October for Mexico. He is well known in the Pacific States, where he spent some time in mining and engineering examinations, and owns much pro perty in mines. He will be attended by General Kautz, a famous cavalry officer, and his instruc tions have been given most minutely by the Sec retary of State. It is announced that the project is revived of establishing a United States Protec torate over Mexico, the Washington Government taking a position somewhat similar to that held by the British in India over what are there called Pro tected States. Juarez, if the story now denied be true, was to receive some money and certain gua rantees, while he cedes Lower California and sanc tions a rectification of the Southern boundary line. Although now denied, as the report is said to have emanated from speculative citizens to forward their railway, mining, and other interests in Mexico, there is fire in this smoke, for Romero did not tra vel to Washington for nothing. In Vera Cruz the insurrection is spreading and extending to other States, Ortega being named for President; and the last advices say that the forces of Juarez, under Alatorre, have been defeated by the insurgents in the State of Vera Cruz. While on this subject we may add that the French holders of Mexican bonds are, as fixed by the commission, to receive an indemnity of 30 per cent. of the amount of their shares as a first instalment from the capital ap propriated for the liquidation of claims. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Rollins is in Washington holding tight to his appointment against Burbridge of Kentucky. The President, it is reported, is above to vault over Attorney-General Evarts' opinion, and at least suspend Mr. Rollins pending investigation into the charges affecting his honesty. A considerable number of appointments are controlled by this officer, who desires to use them, so says rumour, in the Republican interest, while the President is equally anxious to forward by their means the Democratic interest. The super visors lately authorized have not yet been appointed as Mr. Rollins claims and acts on the right of re jecting Mr. M'Culloch's nominations. Mr. Evarts has given the opinion that the Collectorship of New Orleans is vacant, and may be filled by the Presi dent, who can also appoint a Collector of Customs for Alaska, and a Federal District Attorney fOT Eastern Pennsylvania. MONEY AND BUSINESS. (From the Springfield Republican, Aug. 22.) Quietness and steadiness, with a fairly active demand, have been the main characteristics of the money market for the past week. At New York responsible borrowers have had their wants provided for quite promptly at 4 to 5, generally at 4 per cent. on unexceptionable collaterals, such as public funds. To a few of the more extensive dealers in national securities some advances have been made as low as 3 per cont. Mercantile paper of short date has been cashed at 6 to 7 per cent. per annum, generally at the latter figure. At Boston rates are held pretty firmly, though the supply of loanable funds is ample for the demand. The banks accommodate their best customers at 6 per cent., cthers at 61 to 7, and outside paper, though good, is rarbly discounted at a lower figure than 8 per cont. Only a few call loans are made, the rate being generally at 5 per cent. Reports frcm the West tell, as usual, of a brisker demand and higher rates. At Cincinnati, in the open market, 10 to 12 per cent. is charged, though the banks discount to their depositors at Bto 9. The money market at Chi cago indicates an increase of business, the demands for loans being better than for some weeks past; but 10 per cent., which seems to be the stancbtrd rate at the western ma. opolis, is still the price at which prime paper is die c3unt2d. The markets at the West notice a strong ten dency of currency " t-iwards the interior," and New York is sensible of a similar, though less pressing, demand from West. The fact is, the nincli-talked-of demand for money "to move the crops" his not yet been felt to any appreciable extent. The bears have boon rampant all the week at the New York Stock board, and scarcely a stock which is sold there but has suffered to a mere or less degree. The general decline may be attributed mainly to a great fall in Erie a fall so marked as to bring down the whole share list along with it. All the week it has been dropping like lead, and has sold as low as 45, a fall of 12 per cent. in loss than a week, and 22 per cent in less than a month. To account for the decline some have sought special reasons. It is stated, with seeming simplicity, that Mr. Drew is depressing Erie with a view to buying in the stock to vote upon at the October election of directors. This may bs ttlitu A more 9irtiQWs rtiNNOA ie iOlllO l il9l4QTer t in the facts that the deposits in the city banks declined eight millions last wOok ; that as deposits declined, so ust loans ; that the diminution of loans will first bo felt in such heavy fancies as Erie ; that as loans are called in, the stocks ou which they are based must to some ex tent go upon the market. It would seem, also, as if this purely speculative stock, which has so long been beaten back and forth by the bulls and bears, like a shuttlecock between battledoors,' was at last finding its true level. iVith a capital, leases and bonds far above the value of tho road ; with its receipts absorbed by past litigious proceed- ings; with a worn-out road bed, splintered rails and necessary new equipments, which would involve the further expenditure of eight or ten millions ; with a de- pleted Treasury, and with no probability of a dividend Within the next dozen years, no wonder its stock declines. ;uite likely good roads will suffer with the bid, and sell 'Or less than their actual valua until the market is fairly settled again. Some of the causes which have opsrated so disastrously , n Erie have helped to bring down New York Central; :ortainly sympathy with another stock would hardly have lepressed it so much. When Vanderbilt, after ono or two failures, at longth got possession of the Central, it will bo remembered that ho told how it would ba run in tho into rest of the stockholders, so as to make sure and fat divi dends. He clipped of every possible extra expenditure, tnd made parsimonious reductions which disgusted the oublic, however much they delighted the stockholders. ;ut he has acted upon this shallow policy of economy too )ng. Expenditures have been reduced beautifully, bat t does not require great talent in railroad management to -educe the current expenses of any first-class equipped . oul for a year, if the repair shops are closed, and the dis tbled engines and rolling stock sent to the general hospi- ,al, the road bed neglected, and the many minor details to secure permanency ignored. This seems to bo the penny-wise pound-foolish plan upon which Commo- lore Vanderbilt has run the New York Central. There was a similarly brave reduction in expenses at the idoosae Tunnel for a while, as everybody will remember, and it proved in the end the same costly experiment. No one will b 3 surprised to learn the fact, therefore, that Van lerbilt is selling out his interest in the Central—a fact which has, of courso, only aggravated the downward tendency of the stock in the market. We note continued improvement in Boston, Hartford, and Erie. The stock is called for a good dual at Boston, and is struggling up tmong the T wenties. Tho parties who foster this" great midland route" complain bitterly of coldness towards it at the State House; which, being interpreted, means that the commissioners are holding on to the throe million loan, and intend to do so, until they see their way clear to the Hudson. Work commences this week near Turner's, on the Erie road, in the direction of Newburg, on the line of the Boston, Hartford, and Erie. A tunnel of some 5,000 feet is required to make a good grade between Turner's and the Hudson River. The export demand for gold has been comparatively light this week, and the price has receded to 141 and a fraction. The Now York stockholder says —" There is no occasion for any advance in the premium on gold, except such as rises from distrust in regard to political events, and from this cause both . the bonds, which are the fund _ _ _ ng debt, and the legal tender debt of the United States Government are alike subject to be depreciated. The rise in the gold premium simply marks the depreciation of United States notes." This is as far from the truth as possible. Gold has ceased to measure the valuableness of the currency. There is no reason in the nature of the case why it should, and it doesn't in fact. The Legal Tender Act destroyed all necessary connection between the two. The " general prices" of the country mark the depreciation of the currency ; the premuim on gold simply obeys the law of supply and demand. General prices are at 180 to 200 in advance ; gold at only 145. The Stockholder, in saying that there is no reason but a political one for an advance in gold, forgets the fact that the United States have exported more than sixty two millions of specie and bullion since the first of •farmary, and that the Government will have to disburse five millions in the payment of interest on the public debt in September, twenty five millions in November, and thirty-three millions in January. Even if it was the function of gold at the present time to weaken the depre siation of the currency, so great a reduction of the supply could not but cause an advance in the price ; but so long is gold has no such function under a system of legal ten ler, it is still more likely to feel the excessive export. It seems impossible that any one should deny that tho Lmount of gold in the country is less than ever before, and that, as a necessary consequence, it should rise as an ar ticle of merchandise. The market for Government Bonds has been dull and heavy, though with an occasional rally, and a decline of more than 1 per cent. has taken place within a short time. There seems to be no especial reason for this state of things, except an almost total absence of demand. Jay Cooke and Co. say :—" The movement is artificial and in advance of the regular September decline, in which the supply of the bonds from the country and the sales of banks and saving institutions, whose money is required by their borrowers, weigh down prices. The large tealers have been out of stock, and some of them sh,rt,' and therefore to make lower prices has boon common in terest." There is also a decline in express stocks, attri butable in part to rumours of forthcoming assessments, and in part to tho numorous and extensive robberies which have. recently occurred, and which, if carried ou .navy months, will peril the stability of the companies .vhose financial condition is now none of the stout ist. The New England Express Company, which has just begun operations in New England and Canada, is mainly a down-east concern, with Ezra Carter, of Port land, for president. Its capital is $2,500,000 in $lOO shares, Lf which no ono person can take more than 10J. Five per ,ent. is payable on subscription, and future calls will not messed five per cent. each. It is announced that a largo part of the stock has already been taken. The company is organised under the laws of New York, and, like other new corners in the business, will make a reduction of rates. Tho railroads ought to bring about a still further reduc tion, and they can do it if they will make a trial of the system of "parcels deliveries." They ought, at least, to try the experiment. The export specie from Now York, last week, was $653,193 ; export for the year (since Jan. 1) $63,268,156 against $40,720,46t; receipts from California in the same time $27,455,723 against $18,995,126. The total exports from New York since January 1, not including spec i e , are $99,514,835 (currency values), a decrease of $18,318,897 as compared with last year; imports, $157,498,332, a falling off of $9,605,683. The earnings of the Chicago and North-western Railway from Juno 1 to August 14 (two months and two weeks) ware $2,784,816, an increase of $646,425 over last year. The Atlantic and Great Western Railway earned $1,103,092 in the three months ending with June, a decrease of $152,422. An exhibit of the business of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com pany for the past year gives the receipts at $7,639,708, and the net profits at $2,643,514, which latter is a little more Ulan 13 per cent. on the company's capital of twenty mil lions. The capitalists of France seem to have a good opi nion of the prospective stability of the empire. The new Loan, amounting to nearlys9o,ooo,ooo, has been subscribed for many times over, though the rate of interest is only 41 per cent. The breadstuffs market for the past week has boon drooping, so far as flour and wheat are concerned. The former has been pressed for sale in excess of the regular wants of the market, and lower prices have inevitably re suited. Wheat has dropped to about export figures, the milling demand being crippled by the downward course of flour. The reports as to the quality of the now wheat now coming into the market are quite favourable; it is said to make excellent flour, of better colour and strength than last year's wheat. Corn and oats have been speculated in considerably, and with reduced receipts and an increasing demand have ruled rather firmer. Reports from England show that whiie the wheat crop in that country will be excellent, oats, barley, hay, potatoes, and other small crops two almost universally a failure. The drought has done a great deal of damage, and the United States, whose crops will generally be so abundant, will undoubtedly be called upon to make up England's deficiency. Already we are sending over considerable; quantities of hay, and the ex port demand in this country for butter, cheese, and various farm products is likely to be quite large.—Cotton is ad vancing somewhat, and the demand for export has re vived.—The cattle markets are still well nigh paralysed by the fright over the cattle disease, which has broken out in various quarters near home. Trade is very stagnant; and there is, of course, a decline in prices, though hardly so great a one as would have been expected.—There is nothing to note about dry goods, except continued and excessive dullness, and that report has become stale by reiteration. Prices are generally unchanged. (From the Wall-street Jourtu - 11) FRIDAY EVENING, Aug. 2 Paper's more plentiful for discount, and primp names pass current at 6to 7 per cent. Government Stocks con tinuo heavy, the decline in price not only not having brought in investors, but has increased the quantity offering and stimulated the desire to sell. The Treasury Department now estimates that $3,508,000 of the Seven Thirties are still outstanding, and that. of these enough will never be presented for redemption, to more than cover the entire expense of their issue. bathe Border State Bonds there is very little doing—scarcely enough, in fact, to fix quotations. Railroad Stocks have been very dull all the week, but to-day, with the exception of Erie, prices have generally advanced. Erie has been greatly excited, hav ing opened to-day at 441, advancing to 47*, and again falling back. It is instructive, in view of the gradual tightening of the money market, and the prospects for Railroad Stocks, to compare present prices with those that ruled in the spring of 1867. To make the comparison faithful, we add to the present prices the dividends just declared. The table is suggestive:— Low water Present Advance Stocks. mark, 1867. price. per share New York Central Reading Michigan southern ... 64 . 9B Pittsburg Rock Island Fort Waynno B9f 107 St. Paul Wabash ... . 37 north Western NOW Preferred , ..... „, 07 , ~,,, „, $l. 0 , „ ~,, 2* Q 0 Railroad Bonds are in good demand, and are selling steadily. Advices were received in this city yesterday that the seven hundred and sixtieth mile of the Union Pacific Railroad had been completed and placed in thorough working order. The rapid westward progress by this road gives increased assurance to investors to the first Mortgage Bonds of the company of the reliability and profitableness of the investment. The sales of the bonds are fully up to the requirements of the company, at 1 02 per cent. and interest, the latter being calculated at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum in currency from July 1. Mining Stocks continue to be much depressed, and the business is on a very limited scale, excepting in Grass Valley (of Colorado), of which several purchases have been made at 40 cents. Petroleum stocks are firm, very few of the desirable stock being on the market. Express stocks have reacted to-day to the extent of 2 per cent. from the lowest quotations, but the demand appears to be principally to cover short sales. We quote : Adams ... ... 50 to 501 American ... 41 } to 4 Merchants' Union, 35 per cent.... ... 21t t o 21 United States ... 411 to 42k Wells, Fargo, and Co. • 26 to 2 1 The continued decline in prices of Express Stocks 1 08 elicited from the Now York Tribune the following very encouraging remarks : " The decline in Express Stocks, which seems strange to some outside holders, is susceptible of easy explanation . Before the war the entire capital of the express companie s was about five millions, and dividends of 10 to 15 per cent. were earned. Since then the stocks have been watered, and rival companies have been admitted to a share of the business, so that the present capital is $35,000,000 much more than seven times the actual cash invested. Bofors the war railway managers were identified with the a." press companies, and the latter enjoyed specialadvantag eS for the carriage of goods and parcels. Now the railroads are almost all at war with the expresses, and the rates charged for transportation leave no margin for profit. Most of the leading roads aim to do their oWn express business. Of late, too, the robbing of expres s messengers seems to have become a regular business, s° much so that no month passes without some express safe being robbed of heavy amounts of currency, and it would seem to be the interest of the Express Companies to aban don the transportation of money—hitherto the most lucra tive branch of their business. These reasons seem to have led nearly all the old Express men to sell out thei r stocks. Nine-tenths of the certificates of Express Soc bni" afloat in Wall-street aro in the name of office boys ; dors of Express Stocks are liable for losses to double the amount of their holdings, and no one can toll when en ass.sament of 10 or 20 per cent. may be levied on Adams or Merchants' Union."
