BPI BIT OF TIM PUBLICiJOITIMALS, The ktaturday Review predicts thatillr. Johnson's . ac quittal a all cause a division of the Republican party, if the mode rate minority is strong enough to stand by itself. Only two years ago the supporters of Mr. Johnson and of Mr. Lincoln's policy were compelled, by the pressure of the Radical majority, to retract their overtures to the South ; but it is not impossible• that a more vigorous resistance will be offered to a party which has now suffered signal discomfiture. All educated Americans are disgusted with the supremacy of vulgar agitators, and it is said that one reason for the acquittal of the President was the an tipathy of the Senate', to the unpolished demagogue who could have succeeded' to the vacant office. There is as uranch honesty and sound sense in the United States as in any:other community, and certainly there is at least as much ability; but even the soundest political reasoners in the country fail to understand the necessary connection be tween the existing electoral system and the moral and intellectual qualifications of the Stcvenses, the Butlers, and the Robinsons of Congress. If, as is highly probable, Mr. Johnson has learned nothing IT experience, he will repair the defeat inflicted on his opponentsby committing t some act of imprudence. As soon as Congress had rejected impeachment in December last, he engaged in a useless contest with Mr. Stanton, and it is not impro bable that the .acquittal will encourage him to renew the attempt. His enemies will not fail to profit by his rashness, and perhaps they may even impeach him once more, when the Southern Senators have secured them an undisputed majority. Yet history, even in small and per sonal matters, seldom reproduces itself, and Mr. Johnson ma y possibly profit by his unexpected good fortune. In the remaining nine months of his tenure of office he may ptill prove that the Senate was, politically as well as judicially, in the right. If his troubled presidency ends calmly, there will be a general consent of opinion that\ the failure of the prosecution was conducive to the publi'a interest. On the other hand, fresh collisions with Congress, although they would not really disprove the justice of the acquittal, would be regarded as arguments against the expediency of the decision. One cause of irritation on both sides has been removed, since Mr. Stanton has been induced by the verdict of the Senate to resign. It is even possible that the President may be so far conciliated by the withdrawal of his chief antagonist as to present for the approval of the Senate a successor who would be considered unobjectionable. Whatever may be the course of the President, the failure of the impeachment can scarcely fail to be beneficial as a prece dent. The constitutional remedy will be applicable if a President should at any time be guilty of serious malversa- Pon of office, but impeachment will scarcely be used again as an instrument of political hostility. The Spectator is angry with the Republicans of the United States for not deposing the President without trial. We hold, it says, that the recent crisis was one in which extra-constitutional measures were needful for the public safety; that the history of the war shews that such extra-constitutional measures have not been objected to on sufficient occasion ; and that only the blind legalism of men like our correspondent "A Yankee" prevents them from seeing that. But the end is not yet. To the weak neSs and violence—we fear, in some degree, the unworthi .ness and corruptness—of the party which has most bitterly opposed the President, it seems to us to be due that the greatness and dignity of their cause have been but partially visible to the American people, and, there fore,. that that cause has failed. The London Review, after quoting from the descriptions given in the daily papers of the scene at the Old Bailey at the execution of Barrett, says : It would be quite impossible to feel otherwise than thankful that we have seen the lass of these scenes, and that we shall henceforth be without that note of civilisa tion, a public execution. Its suppression will materially help us in redeeming the scum of society from the bar barity in which they live. One of the great questions with which a Reformed Parliament will have to deal will be to revolutionise the condition of the lower classes, and to remove from society the too just reproach that to a considerable portion of the population in large towns vice and crime are almost necessities. The doing away with the demoralising spectacle which Newgate witnessed on Tuesday last will be a considerable step towards the reali sation of this work. Public hanging has been a grand mistake, an unmitigated evil. It has been a school in which the young have learnt to get rid of their humanising sensibilities, and the old to reach a lower depth of depra vity. But, with that adhesiveness to habit which we call the conservatism of English character, but which much more deserves to be called its stupidity, we have clung to it as if it had some grand redeeming point beside which its debasing tendencies sank into insigni ficance. We maintained, forsooth, that it exercised a deterrent iniluence upon those who witnessed it ; and we held to this argument in spite of innumerable narratives, which placed it beyond any doubt whatever that of all the Satanic orgies which have. disgraced our cities, none has come up to that of a public hanging. Then there was another reason why we felt we must hang our criminals in public. It was said that, otherwise, no one would believe that they had been hanged, and that this might create a suspicion that the friends of a wealthy criminal would be able to buy him off. Of course, where you have to deal with an insane credulity nothing can ratify it. There were persons who doubted the death of John Sadleir, though his body was found on Hampstead heath, and was indentified before the coroner. An inge nious writer might find reasons to create a doubt in some minds as to whether it was really Muller who was hanged for the murder of Mr. Briggs, and whether the telegram of the King of Prussia asking her Majesty to spare his life had not been successful. But we cannot legislate for the credulous, and we have at last, happily, opened our eyes to (what we might have seen long ago), the supreme folly of expecting any good result to flow from the example of a public execution. And now we are all satisfied that there shall be no more of these exhibitions. We have seen the last of them, and a great obstruction to the civili zation of the lower orders has been removed. The Imperial Review presumes that everybody is glad to have got through the Scotch Reform Bill. The electoral arrangements of North Britain have hitherto been so little known, and, sooth to say, so little cared about southof the Tweed, that the discussions of the last fortnight may be considered to have possessed at least the merit of novelty. But even a novelty palls upon the world when almost ex clusively discussed by Scotch members, and when it is found to have an interest only for Scotch minds. It is hard to see how any reasonable man not born within the limits of the Northern Kingdom can take even the most languid interest in the respective claims of Hawick or Wigton burghs, or in disputes as to whether the shires of Aberdeen and Ayr should or should not be subdivided now they have acquired a plurality of representatives. The warmth of the weather, and the lassitude engendered by a session of continuous crises, have not served to render the debates onthe Scotch Reform Bill additionally attractive. And the anxiety which everybody professes and Nobody feels, to expedite the advent of the approaching dissolution has tended, if not to diminish the ingenuity, at least to subdue the loquacity of such inde pendent members as have sought opportunities for the ventilation of their various crotchets. Are we quite prepared (asks the ,Freetetor) to establish or sanction a great lottery, in which every man in the United Kingdom can take tickets of any amount, with the temptation of almost any possible prize, and the certainty of losing only the sum he hal resolved to venture? Be cause that is what the Derby is rapidly becoming, with the apparently hearty consent of the Legislature, the press, and public opinion. Our contemporary, after describing how the betting is carried on, shows that it is the lottery system full grown, though under a different name, the temptation addressed to everybody through public.adver tisements,—they are issued in dozens in all the sporting papers and village weeklies,—the prizes totally dispro portioned to the risk, the opportunity of venturing money without knowledge, on a simple guess expressed by a horse's name instead of a number. Open a State lottery in London, OT any lottery in which the 1110:13 of the pc can and will invest, and the honesty .f all employ's will be perceptibly diminished, the impatience of monotonous toil will visilly increase, and the tendency to the superstition of elvynce.

Dr. Massing ham on the Irish Church. Mr. W. Beaumont, ex-mayorof Warrington, was the chairman, and in the course of his speech he was reported by a Warrington paper to have said :—" At the last Lancaster election, when he had the honour of proposing three members for South Lancashire, a gentleman mentioned a. circumstance to him, and remarked that he rather suspected the consistency of Mr. Gladstone as a Churchman. He gave his authority for the statement, as he had no desire to make anonymous slanders, and quoted the paper in which the story had been circu lated, that Mr. Gladstone was the owner of a church in Liverpool from which he received £7OO a year, and paid a clergyman £l2O. (Interruption, and cries 'of ' Order.') The sequel was worth hearing if they would listen. The surveyor of taxes heard of it, and surcharged Mr. Gladstone for the church. Mr. Gladstone wrote him a letter of remonstrance. He was at that time Chancellor of the Exchequer, and this humble surveyor of taxes was his servant. To the honour of that surveyor, he replied that, though Mr. Gladstone was Chancellor of the Exchequer and himself a surveyor, he must treat him like any other subject, and that if he had a grievance to make he must appeal as other people did. He did al peal, and the surcharge was confirmed ; and he (the chairman) believed that he was quite justified in all that he said. He took the trouble of asking the surveyor of an adjoining . division as to the truth of the circumstance, and was assured by him it was correct in every particular. Therefore, when Mr. Gladstone's name was mentioned in connection with the representation of South Lancashire, there was good reason to speak of him as a doubtful Churchman." -A few days ago, Mr. J. Clegg, of North-road, Preston, sent a copy of the statement to Mr. Gladstone, and inquired if it was correct. - Mr. Clegg has received the following reply from Mr. Glad stone :—" 11, Carlton-house-terrace, S.W., May 28,1868. Sir, I thank you for your note. The statement of Mr. Beaumont is false and calumnious ; and I intend to call him or the responsible person, whoever he may be, to account forit. It appears to be part of a system which I think my countrymen will understand and condemn. You are at liberty to publish this letter.—Your faithful servant, W. E. GLADSTONE.-Mr. Joseph Clegg." SAW AND POLICE. TnE SERVICE OF SummonEs. — ln the Lord Justices' Court the question as to the time when summonses should be served and heard was decided. In a case of bankruptcy, Mr. Henry, the bankrupt, appeared to the summons, but on appearing he objected to the summons being heard, on the ground that it had not been served upon him between the hours of nine a.m. and nine p.m. The deputy-com missioner, however, refused to allow the objection, the summons having been served more than four days before Cie time fixed for Mr. Henry's appearance thereto, and the objection being therefore, in the deputy-commis sioner's opinion, not one of substance ; but he adjourned the further hearing of the summons to afford Mr. Henry an opportunity of appealing. Hence the present appeal. The court held that this case fell expressly within the rule giving the court power to rectify any error in the service of the summons. There was no dispute that the debtor had been served ; his only complaint was that he knew what he was intended to know a quarter of an hour sooner than he ought to have known it. The difference of time was not so great but that the court might consider there had been a mere accidental slip. The appeal must be dis missed, with costs. APPLICATION TO CANCEL SHARES.—In Vice-Chancellor Stuart's court the case of Green v. the General Provident Assurance Company (Limited) was heard. This suit was instituted by Mr. Green, the plaintiff, who in September 1866 had taken fifty shares in the company, to have his shares cancelled and his deposit money returned, under the following circumstances. The company, which had been incorporated in 1865 under the name of " The General Homoeopathic Pro-Vident Assurance Company (Limited)," with a nominal capital of £500,000, divided into 50.000 sham of £lO each, subsequently altered its name, and in 1866 issued a prospectus headed with "Second issue of 10,000 shares" in red letters, with Mr. Thomas Hat tersley, Lord Teynham, the Rev. R. Maguire, and others as directors, which contained the statement that the first issue of 10,000 shares had been fully subscribed, and the directors had resolved on a second issue, which they anti cipated would be quite sufficient for the requirements of the association. It appeared that, although 10,000 shares had been applied for, only 7,500 had been taken up to the 18th of February, 1E64, 2,500 having been cancelled for non-payment of the deposit, and of these-cancelled shares of the first issue, some, which were still standing in the name of Mr. Hattersley, the director, and were numbered 7,755 to 7,804, were allotted to the plaintiff. The Vice- Chancellor, without calling on the counsel for the defend ants, said that the plaintiff's case had failed. From the evidence it appeared that there had been a first issue of 10,00) _shares ; that that issue had not been merely nomi nal, but that threc-fourths were effective subscriptions, which, consitlering all the circumstances, was a very fair amount. He considered that the prospectus, on the whole, contained a fair representation of the state of the company. ACTION FOP. SLANDER. —ln the Bail Court the case of Gray v. West and Wife was heard. It was an action for slander under the following circumstances. The defendant was tenant of the plaintiff, and, wishing for more room, applied for two other apartments which the plaintiff was unable to let them have. Owing to this occurrence a civarrel ensued, and the defendant called Mrs. Gray a prostitute, a liar, and accused her of immoral conduct. The jury gave £lO damages. THE POWER OF ARREST.—An extraordinary instance of the extent to which the Power of arrest may be carried was mentioned at the Liverpool County Court on Thurs day. A plaintiff in an acticn hai to wait for his case to come on, and, as be had journeyed from a distance, he went to obtain refreshment. When he left the precincts of the court he was arrested by a bailiff on two warrants issued from the Birkenhead County Court, and lodged in an apartment described as " No 4 Loom" of the Liverpool court. The case could not be proceeded with in the plaintiff's absence, and his counsel called the attention of the judge (Mr. Serjeant Wheeler) to the matter. His Honour ordered the man to be brought into court, so that he might give his evidence, and at the close of the case he characterised the arrest as a most improper proceeding, directed the man to be discharged from custody, and sail he was entitled to protection in coming to that court in his right as a suitor during the time he was there, and that he should be allowed a reasonable time to return home. CHEAP LAW.—An action in which cheap law and justice were said to be obtained came before the Liver pool County Court on Thursday. By an Act passed in the last session of Parliament, a judge of Exchequer has the power, if he thinks fit, to send a case entered for trial before that tribunal to ne county court of the district where the parties reside. The case h ard on Thursday by Mr. Serjeant Wheeler and a jury involved a claim for £503. The action was intended for trial in the Court of Exchequer, but the judge thought —there being no security for costs—that it was a fit case to be decided in the county court. It was accordingly heard there, and the learned judge declared that justice had been done to the parties concerned, and at small cost. This change in the law is a most important one ; it is a step towards what has so long been contended for by legal reformers—that the law shall he speedily, cheaply, and efficiently administered. SENDING EXPLOSIVES BY RAIL.—A very important in vestigation into circumstances involving greatly the safety of railway travellers has been made by the Lord Mayor. It appears that tradesmen are in the habit of enclosing lucifer matches and other explosive materials in their rail way parcels, to the very great danger of the public, although the railway companies provide iron yams for such danger. ous commodities. Au explosion—providentially slight,— having drawn attention to a breach of railway acts in this respect, the vendor, Mr. Sax, of Bisbopsgate-street, was summoned. He admitted his guilt, but, zis a foreigner, pleaded ignorance of the English law in this respect. This Plea was so far admitted that the penalty in each case was lowered from £2O to £lO. A telegram has been receiveu in town announc ag the death of Mr. George Brudenell Bruce, eldest sen of Lord and Laly Ernest Bruce. Mr. Dixon, the - mornber for Birmingham, has given notice that In will, on the f.lth proximo, bring for-. ward a bill tO atnend the " Act fnr preventing the adul teration of articles of futxl or drink, 1833"0," and to extend its provisions to drugs. The Liverpool committee which has charge of the akfast to be given by the members of the Liberal party to Mr. Bright, M. I'., have decided upon holding it either in the Philharmonic Mil or the Alexandra Theatre. Ladies will be admitted to the galleries. A most influentially-signed requisition is pub ished in the papers, calling upon Colonel Leslie, M.P., as lord-lieutenant of the county Monaghan, to convene a meeting of the Protestants of all denominations, for the purpose of organising a branch of the Protestaz4 Pefence AanciAtka. _ THE WHITIVO.RTH SWOLAESHI.B% The Committee of Council on .3" Education, in acknow ledging Mr. Whitworth's munificent offer to found thirty scholarships of the annual valve of £lOO each, with a view of promoting mechanical industry and engineering in this country, expressed their 'willingness to receive any sugges tions from the generous founder as to how his intentions could best be carried out. In reply, as shewn by a parlia mentary paper issued on Thursday, Mr. Whitworth submits whether honours in the nature of degrees might not be con ferred by some competent authority on successful students each year. Thus would be created a faculty of Industry; analogous to the existing faculties of Divinity, Law, and Medicine. Such honouis would be a great incentive to exer tion, and be hoped that Government would provide the necessary funds for endowing a sufficient number of pro fessors of mechanics throughout the kingdom. With this letter Mr. Whitworth transmitted a memo randum of rcg-nlations for governing the distribution of the scholarships. They are to be open to all her Majesty's snlijects who do not exceed the age of 26 years. The can- dit'ate must be of sound bodily constitution. The first competition to be in five theoretical subjects, viz., mathe- matics, mechanics, practical plan e and descriptive geometry, with mechanical and free-hand drawing, physics, and che mistry (including metallurgy). It would also include four lian(l'crafts : smiths' work, turning, filing and fitting, pattern-making, and moulding, with the power to use one or more of the following tools : the axe, saw, plane, ham mer, chisel, file, and forge. As the scholarships' scheme can only come into hut operation by degrees, Mr. Whitworth proposes at once to create sixty exhibitions or premiums; of the value of £25 each, tenable until April 1869, and to place them at the absolute disposal of the governing bodies of the following educational institutions and towns, in order that they may be awarded to youths under 22 years of age, who must undertake to compete for scholar ships of £lOO in May 1869 :—Eight to Owen's College, Man chester ; two to the grammar-school in that town ; three each to the universities of Oxford, Cambridge, and Lon.* don ; and one to each of the universities of Durham,Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, St. Andrew's, Aberdeen ; the Queen's Colleges in Belfast, Cork, and Galway; King's and Univer sity Colleges, London; Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Charterhouse, Westminster, 'Winchester, St. Paul's, Merchant Taylors', Christ's Hospital, City of London, Shrewsbury, Marl borough, Cheltenham, Chester, Clifton, Brighton, and Liverpool ; two to the College of Preceptors, and three to the Science and Art Department. The following to artisans only:—Three to the Society of Arts, and one each to Birmingham,' Bristol, Swansea and Cardiff, Halifax and Huddersfield, Leeds, Northampton, and Sheffield. While the Government and the Opposition are pro fessedly anxious to hasten the dissolution of Parliament, Mr. Sidney Smith, of the City of London Liberal Regis tration Society, asks what urgent necessity exists for hurrying on that important event. He argues that if the new constituencies are to be properly tested, the register must be rightly formed. Every official has a new and ex cessively ill-drawn Act to understand and to work ; every revising barrister has to dispose of a fresh statute, bristling with points of doubt which will all have to be argued out, and to reconcile, if he can, anomalies betwixt the new and the old Acts which will puzzle all concerned. The statutes connected with registration assume the indis pensable action of other functionaries besides overseers and revising barristers, and much depends upon the volun tary action of the electors themselves in purifying the lists and in enforcing the provisions of the law. Can vassers have to test every name upon the lists, claims have to be made and objections framed, and lodgers have to be reckoned by the thousand. The vast increase of the fran chise and the novelty of its conditions will cause a multi tude of errors, and the correction of them will demand a much longer instead of an abridged allowance of time. Mr. Smith maintains that if the general election is to be anything but a scramble, in which nobody will be allowed time to discover the colours under which he would march, it should not be before January, at the earliest. This gentleman's opinion notwithstanding, the law officers of the Crown declare that it is possible for the registration to be expedited. Still, the nearer we approach the 20th of June the more important it be comes for the Government -to shew how they propose to hasten the making-up of the registers. On that day the overseers publish a notice, requiring persons to pay all rates due by the 20th of July. On the Ist of August they publish a list of all ratepayers who have done so. On the let of September they publish a list of all claims from ratepayers and lodgers who may have sent in claims ; and in the month of October all the lists are revised by the barrister, and the names placed on the register or expunged, as the case may be. It will be the 4th of June when the House of Commons reassembles after the Whitsuntide recess, and this will leave just a fortnight before the issue of the first notice to consider what shall be done to accele rate Vac speed at which the registration usually takes place. The bill now passing through Parliament for the amal gamation of the three railways south of the Thames—the London, Chatham, and Dover, the South Eastern, and the London and Brighton—is severely dealt with in article in the Daily Kum The writer points out that the railway companies have issued yearly and even quarterly tickets, to encourage suburban residence ; railway has competed with railway in offering inducements for building houses outside of London ; building societies have sprung up to supply the means for doing so, and men have become owners of property on the strength of those inducements, without which they would never have ventured on any such step. All at once the suburban Londoner is startled by the introduction of the amalgamation bill ; and our contemporary maintains that the rich man of fifty miles from the metropolis and the poorer one at five have a common interest in this vital question. ' Mr. 'Watkin's idea, that the railways exist mainly for private interests, is held up to ridicule, for a system which runs passenger trains to the extent of more than three-and-a-half millions of trains annually, and con veys 274,293,668 passengers in the year, exclusive of season ticket holders, and which has become a great mono poly, cannot be narrowed to the purely private ground on - Which Mr. Watkin virtually, though not altogether avowedly, places it. The argument used in favour of amalgamation, that the money for the company's improvements has been raised chiefly in Lancashire, and to a small extent south of the Thames, is described as " really ridiculous." It is broadly hinted that the present proposal is party Owing to the extravagance which the directors of rival lines have pursued in the parliamen tary committee-rooms, where no less than 33 guineas per minute have been spent during a twenty-eight days' battle. " For a considerable time," says the Daily News," trade ahnost throughout the country has been in a depressed state, and, strange to say, the complaints have been most grievous from those very parts through which the lines of these companies run." Yet the companies choose at this inopportune moment to raise the fares ty forming a trades union among them selves, whereby trade will go worse, untenanted houses will continue to be unoccupied, and labour and capital will become idle. WILLS.—The will of the Hon. Brownlow North Osborn De Grey, late of Rochelles, in the parish of Nat ton, Norfolk, who died on the 7th of April last, at Territet, Montreux, Switzerland, was proved at the Principal Registry on the 22nd inst., by the Right Hon. Thomas, Lord Walsingham, and the Hon. George De Grey, the brothers of deceased, the executors. The personal property was sworn under £2s,ooo.—The will of Major-General Sir Henry Floyd, Bart., deceased, Into of No. 36, Gloucester-place, Hyde Park, who died on the 4th of March last, was proved on the 25th inst. by Dame Mary Floyd, widow, the relict, the sole executrix. The personal property was sworn under £2,000. Mit. GLADSTONE AND THE EAST WORCESTERSHIRE ELECTION.—An elector of Dudley, observing a placard issued by the Conservative party in the town relative to the present election, stating that Sir C. O'Loghlen was an ardent supporter of Mr. Gladstone, and, further, that Mr. itearden was also a supporter of that gentleman, wrote to the leader of the Opposition on the subject. lie sated in his letter that the hon. baronet's motion relative to the oaths, and Mr. Rearden's proposition, were being used against Mr. Lyttelton and Mr. Gladstone. The latter has forwarded the following letter in reply :—" 11, Carlton house terrace, S.W., May 26.—Sir, I have received your communication of yesterday . . . . With respect to the placard-1. Sir C. O'Loghlen made his proposal without my knowledge or approval. 2. He does not propose to alter the Coronation Oath at all, but a declaration quite independent of it, which the law now requires no one to take except the sovereign. 3. The security for the religion of the Queen by law is the provision that she shall be a communicant of the Church of England, and shall not marry a member of the Church of Rome. 4. Mr. Rearden is no supporter of mine or of the Liberal party. As far as I know lie has voted against us upon the most interesting and important ques tions except that of the Irish Church. 5. All Mr. Lyttel ton's friends should make it known that Mr. Laslett is to support this Government. Now, this Government pro claimed ten weeks ago that they were friendly to religious equality in Ireland, provided it was brought about. by endowing the other churches, including the Roman, in Ireland, and not by disendowing the Protestant Church ; and by way of earnest they proposed at once to create a Roman Catholic University, and pay its expenses out of the taxes of the country ; whereas we say, take away th 4 Establishment that now exists, and make no more in WititilevYQUPlA#lll.o3'l¶.l. gIidDAZOITIO PROGRAMMES FOR THE WEEK.

(From the Anglo-American Times) A telegram from Washington, dated May 27, announces Mr. Stanton's resignation, and the in stallation of Lorenzo Thomas as Acting Secretary of War ad interim. 'We can merely guess at bow it happened, the cable only sending the result. It may be that Mr. Johnson no sooner felt himself a little firmer in the seat from which he had been so nearly shaken than he ag lin collared his old adver sary, and, in Lorenzo's own words, kicked that fellow Stanton out." Or it may be that Stanton (the true victim of Impeachment), after his long and tenacious hold, which, as he says, "He only consented to retain on the most positive pledges of the impeachment and removal of the President"— lost heart, and, in expectation of another visit from Lorenzo Thomas, sent in his resignation, which, in truth, he earnestly desired to do. By the last accounts he was represented as feeling much chagrined at the probable failure of the trial. How is it that no one ever thought of his rights ? Had he not rights as well as Andrew Johnson? Is a Cabinet Minister to be nothing and a President everything? The War-office is that to which rumour has assigned " Andy Johnson" in case of the formation and success of the new party. We would like to see how be will act when, as Secre- tary of War, he fights Chase as PreSident. According to Messrs. Neill's report, dated May 23, the weEk's receipts of cotton were 9,000 bales ; since Ist September, 2,097,000 bales. Week's ex port to Great Britain, 19,000 bales ; since Ist September, 1,189,000 bales. Week's exports to the Continent, 7,000 bales ; since Ist Sept., 435,000 bales. Total exports for the week, 26,000 bales; since Ist September, 1,624,00 0 bales. Stock at all ports, 160,000 bales. The flow .of money from New York to Europe still continues, and even on an increased scale. On the 21st of May the outgoing steamers took poomo in specie; on the 23d, $1,000,000 ; on the 26th, $425,000. By a telegram, dated New York, May 27th, it was announced that the Inman steamer City of Paris, which left on the 23d inst. for Liverpool, t00k51,250,000 in specie, but we cannot say whether this was included in the large sum already an nounced as having been shipped on that day. On the 27th $lOO,OOO, and on the 28th $250,000 in specie were despatched. The Republican State Convention of Illinois as sembled at Springfield on the 13th May, and passed the following resolution : " Resolved, That we denounce all forms of repudiation as a national crime, and that national honour requires the payment of the public indebtedness in the utmost good faith to all creditors at home and abroad, according to the letter and spirit of the laws under which it was contracted." The great Prairie State, the Queen of the \Vest— a land in truth flowing with milk and honey—re pudiates in the strongest and tersest language the repudiators, and gives the lie to those who assert that greenback redemption is the cherished offspring of the West. This is the first State in which the Republican party has taken bold and decided ground against repudiation, and it was but the forerunner of the great National Convention which met in its leading city, Chicago, and laid down the resolution as a plank in the Republican platform. A London paper has strangely confounded the Re publican Convention held at Chicago with that city, speaking of the influence given to the assem bly by the prosperity and high commercial charac ter of the town. It might as well confound Par liament with the City Council, or talk of the influ ence of Frankfort on a gathering of Ministers Plenipotentiary from the Courts of Europe to settle some great continental question. The Republican State Convention of Illinois was held at the State capita, Springfield, Illinois, and the Republican Convention of the United States, to nominate can- didates for thePresideucy and Vice-Presidency, and to lay down their platform, assembled at Chicago, Illinois, on the 20th May. George Francis Train writes from " The British Bastille" to his dear Revolution, which accuses him of sending all his letters to the World. George's imagination seems to be peculiarly active in the Bri tish Bastille. " Hark don't you hear the bugle sound ? List ! it is the whistle of the Chassepot, the needle-gun of France. Keep still, America ; but vote greenbacks. Keep quiet, my country, but stir up the people. The Revolution has just be gun." Russia and Prussia are about to march against Austria, France, and England, and of course the British Lion is to come to grief in the tussle. George Francis always sees the British Lion in its agony. Indeed if the poor brute suffers all that Train pictures it might well term its life a prolonged death struggle. "In this changing of property England will lose Ireland, and America will spring ahead to her divine destiny. As America goes up England will go down. The Greek fire at Buck ingham Palace will be seen burning under all the royal banquet halls. Read the judgment of the prophet Daniel on Babylon." Why is America to go up as England goes down? There is no clash ing interest whatever. He would not be a wise green-grocer who cut the throat of the eater of cab bages, or sang a song of triumph over the bank ruptcy of the customer who appreciated his com modities as . Train does :—" Her plate is all mort gaged. The bailiffs are in the house. Judgment on judgment has been accorded. All England is in a Four Courts Marshalsea.' " And George Francis Train is out. Although the Chicago Convention approved the Impeachment of President Johnson, the effort has evidently failed to procure from it the adoption of a resolution demanding his conviction. Although the impropriety of such a course is plainly apparent here, so strong did party feeling run, so unscrupu lous were the office-seekers engaged in the desperate effort to bring Wade in at any price, they were little deterred by that, and the pressure upon the Con vention must have been great. Had it given way, it would have been a declaration of war against many of the most influential men among the leaders of the Republican party. The nomination of Nlr. Colfax is a clear indication that the Wade party was used up by the time the Convention met. They had kept up so full a-head of steam, and maintained for so long a period the highest pressure, that it was no wonder that they were exhausted when the crisis came. Perhaps the Convention was influenced by an earliest desire to reunite the party. It could scarc€ly have withheld its approval of Impeachment ; and, in going no further, and, in nominating Colfax, the feeling is indicated against the extreme Radical section, though the Speaker is, in truth, a strong Radical himself. The New York Citizen favours General Hancock for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency. It says that the Copperheads howl and shriek, but that the General's strength is so apparent that the blind may almost see it. From every section of the Southern States the nomination is hailed with satis faction, and the only hesitation is that, whether a portion of the country that cannot help the elec tion of the candidate should take part in his nowi• nation, the States that can do least for Pendleton being most clamorous in his behalf. Virginia, Texas, and one or two more of the Southern States, may, it thinks, be carried by the Democrates, and the delegates from Pennsylvania and Missouri are avowedly for General Hancock, while New York will support him at the polls by 30,000 majority. Ohio and Connecticut will go for him, whilst re fusing to endorse . a Copperhead. It thinks that the New I ork World is at heart in this movement, though considering a premature announcement im politic ; and the South sees clearly that it is better to win with Hancock than lose with Pendleton. The Albion speaks of Admiral Farragut and Charles Francis Adams as a good ticket to run against Grant and Colfax. There are indications that Governor English is to be pushed for Vice-President. There has been a split among the advocates of woman suffrage, promoted by a statement of Wen dell Phillips that woman suffrage must remain subordinate to the negro question, which Mrs. Stanton of the Revolution sharply criticized, while Anna Dickenson defended Mr. Phillips. This was f I:owcd by a fight at the meeting of the Equal [tights Associatioc, where Mrs. Rose termed Mr. T. IV. Iligginson " a flimsy young man," because he thought women as bad as min, and would as often vote wrong. But the great mill was over George Francis Train, who was attacked by Lucy Stone Blackwell for making the negro question in ferior to the w mnan question, and by Frederick Douglass, who disapproved of Train calling the African " a nigger." He described Train as a comet, and declared that negro suffrage had been defeated in Kansas and Minnesota chiefly through him. Mrs. Stanton defended Train, as well as her self and her paper, and she was aided by Susan B. Anthony and Olympia Brown. Mrs. Stanton had been accused of seeking with Train and her female followers to affiliate with the Democratic party. Mrs. Blackwell finally, in a pet, deserted, and the meeting closed in confusion. John O'Neill, President of the Fenian Brother hood, is moving actively in the interests of Ireland. He has been stumping the States, and on the 14th inst. he addressed the Fenian State Convention of Pennsylvania in the State Senate Chamber, the delegates representing 49 circles. He has been as busy writing as talking, a secret circular having publicly gone the rounds which it might well do and remain secret, as it is too long for even a Fenian brother to get through. The Irishmen of Pennsylvania are exhorted in the last appeal of the Pennsylvania Fenians to aid in placing an army in the field. They are asked if they can remain like base cowards looking on at a safe distance without making an effort for the relief of the martyrs and of their suffering country. " The same men who carried the Green Flagin triumph at Ridge way and Fort Erie, and who trailed the proud emblem of Great Britain in the dust, areagain ready for action." In O'Neill's secret address be, shows that he was neither afraid nor too virtuous to shed blood, and that he intended, but for some disturbing cause which so often arises to thwart the intentions of the self-proclaimed patriots, to make Fort Erie a slaughter pen where he would die,but never surrender, as Napoleon's Old Guard did at Waterloo. " Our organization," he says, " has only one mis sion—the liberation of Ireland. All side issues, in- troduced by designing men, are simply meant to detract and mislead from the original purpose, and must be avoided." Poor America! Is a war to be generated between Canada and the United States for the liberation of Ireland ? Are the bright waters of the St. Lawrence to be dyed with blood because the brethren of the Puritans who founded the New England States oppressed the Irish ? Why does not John O'Neill explain how cutting the throats of the Canadians will promote the liberation of the " Emerald Isle." No doubt his project will be highly appreciated by the people who will be come its victims on both sides of the river, fur they may rest assured that they will not escape on the right bank merely because the attack is first directed against the Americans who dwell on the left bank, that is the Canadians. On the 7th May the election took place in Florida, resulting in the ratification of the new Constitution, the choice of the entire Republican State ticket, with Harrison Green as Governor, by a majority of about 3,000. General Buchanan reports from Louisiana the ratification of the new Constitution by a majority of 17,413, and the election to Con gress of James Mann (Democrat). Virginia, Mis sissippi, and Texas have yet to vote; indeed in the latter State the Constitutional Convention had not as yet met. In MisAssippi the election is to take place on the 23d June, and the Democrats are making a wrong effort to defeat the Constitution, and had held a Convention at Jackson to organize for this chject. In Virginia, too, it is thought that, unless the Test Oath be struck out, the Constitution will be de- feated. Roberts E. Withers, of Lynchburg, has been named for Governor by the Conservatives ; General James Walker, of Pulaski, for Lieutenant - Governor ; and Marmaduke Johnson, of Richmond , for Congressman at large. Gen. Meade reports the ratification of the Georgia Constitution by a majo rity of 17,699, the Republican ticket being elected by a much smaller number. The reconstructed States, so far, have elected 27 Itepublicans and only five Democrats to Congress. The treaty concluded between Bavaria and the United States as to the nationality of emigrants was signed on Tuesday. Its stipulations are simile to those of the American treaty upon the same sub ject with the North German Confederation, but afford no room for the doubts as to correct inter pretation that have arisen with regard to the latter. rADTERTISEMENT.J—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills!
