THE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOTT, As the clocks of Islington chimed forth file hour of nine on Mondaymorning, a privileged few were admitted to the Agricultural Hall to view the operations of the judges in the task of adjudicating upon the merits of the cattle, sheep, and pigs entered for competition at the 70th "annual show of the Smithfield Club. This process, involving much rib-digging, flesh-pinching, girth measuring, and—for the first time this year—weight scaling, conducted by Messrs. G. Bedford, Blake, and Role, for Devons, Herefords, Norfolk, or Suffolk polled, long-horned, Irish, cross, or mixed cattle ; Messrs. Ladds, Robinson, and Thomas, for short-horns, Scotch and Welsh cattle ; Messrs. Borton, Bennett, Game, Keeling, Clay don, and Woodman for sheep ; and Messrs. Carver, Sexton, and Inskip for pigs—occupied until two o'clock, when the opportunity for inspecting the exhibition was afforded to those of the general public, and they were many, who cared to pay ss. by way of entrance fee. At a quarter-past twelve the Crown Prince of Prussia very quietly entered the Hall, and attended by Viscount Brid port, Lord Hardwicke, and Mr. Gibbs, inspected the various entries. The Princess of Prussia was expected to accompany his Royal Highness, but, for some reason which did not transpire, failed to do so. The entries in the various classes reach 477. Sick ness caused by transit, and a growing conviction on the rart of some exhibitors at the Birming ham Show that they could not hope to take a prize at the Agricultural Hall, have made a small reduction in the number of animals actually put in competition. Devonshire, as usual, sends a large and admirable contri bution in the shape of 41 of her famous steers and cows. The Herefords number 33, and the short-horns 59. The Sussex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Scotch, and mixed breeds are amply represented ; while the pens of sheep—Leicester, Cotswolds, Lineolns, Kentish cross-bred long-woolled sheep, Southdowns, Hampshire, Shropshire, and mountain breeds—contain specimens which for weight and breed may be fairly contrasted with those exhibited in previous years. The most attractive lot of sheep is that belonging to Mr. William Guerrier. These are Hungarian strangers, and their splendid wool and curiously-shaped spiral horns will not fail to elicit the notice of all visitors. The pigs, white, black, and otherbreeds, are well to the fore, as fat and as uninteresting as ever. Her Majesty contributes to the show two Devon steers, two Devon heifers, three Hereford steers, one Hereford cow, one Hereford heifer, one cross bred heifer, two pens of pigs, and a solitary pig, Prince Albert's Windsor breed, which has the honour of a class all to himself. The Prince of Wales has in the show a Devon steer, a short-horned steer, a Norfolk polled steer and heifer, a cross-bred steer (from a Norfolk polled cow and a pure Devon bull), a pen of first cross-bred sheep (from a Southdown ewe and improved Lincoln long woolled ram), a single sheep of the same breed, and a pen of small young white pigs. The first prize of £2O, with silver medal to the breeder in Class 1 of Devon steers, not exceeding 2 years and 6 months, was taken by Mr. William Smith, of Higher Hoopern, Exeter, for a beast bred by Mr. George Turner, of Bamford Speke, Devon ; the second prize, of £lO, going to Mr. W. G. Nixey, of Slough, for a steer bred by Mr. Richard Mogridge, Molland, Southmolton, Devon. In Class 2, Devon steers not exceeding 3 years and 3 months, the first prize of £3O, and silver medal to the breeder, was also awarded to Mr. William Smith, of Higher Hoopern, Exeter, for a beast bred by Mr. J. Tripp, of Twitchen, Southmolton. Mr. W. G. Nixey, of Slongh, took the second prize of £2O for a steer, bred by Mr. William Smith, the winner of the first prize ; and the third prize of £lO fell to the lot of Mr. John Overman, of Burnham-market, Norfolk. The steer exhibited by the Queen in this class was commended; that entered by the Earl of Eldon highly commended. In Class 3, Devon steers or oxen above 3 years and 3 months, the first prize of £3o—silver medal to the breeder—was awarded to Mr. John Over man, of Burnham-market, Norfolk ; the second prize of £2O to Mr. W. Barrington, of Thorley, Yarmouth, Isle of Wight ; and the third prize of £lO to Mr. 'Walter Farthing, of Bridgewater, Somerset. The first prize of £25, silver medal to the breeder, in Class 4, for Devon heifers not exceeding 4 years old, was awarded to Mr. Charles Gibbs, of Lydeard, Taunton ; the second, of £l5, to Mr. Nixey, of Slough ; and the third prize of £lO to her Majesty. Mr. Richard Burton, of Broadelyst, Devon, succeeded in carrying off the first prize of £25, with silver medal to the breeder, in Class 5, for Devon cows above 4 years which have at least one live calf ; the second prize of £l5 going to Mr. Smith, of Higher Hoopern, Exeter ; the third prize of £lO to Mr. William Farthing, of Bridgwater, Somerset ; the entry of her Majesty the Queen being highly commended. It is under stood that a protest has been entered against the award in the case of Mr. Burton, who took the first prize at the recent show at Birmingham with the same beast which he now exhibits. In the opinion of those best acquainted with the subject, the show of Devons is remarkably fine. In these, as in the classes generally, shape rather than weight seems to have been made the standard of merit. In the class for short-horned steers not exceeding 2 years and 6 months old, the first prize of £2O, with silver medal to the breeder, was secured by Mr. R. N. Morley, of Grantham ; and the second prize of £lO by Mr. James Bult, of Taunton, Sir William de Capel Brooke's entry being highly commended. The first prize of £3O, with silver medal to the breeder, for short-horned steers not exceeding 3 years and 3 months, fell to the lot of Mr. Butt, of Taunton, and the first prize of £25 for short-horned cows above 4 years old -which have bad at least one calf, was awarded to Mr. J. S. Fol jambe, of Worksop, Mr. Robert Searson, of Market Deeping, Lincoln, carrying off the second prize of the value of £l5. In the class of Here ford steers not exceeding 2 years and 6 months, the first prize of £2O, silver medal to the breeder, was taken by Mr. Robert Wortley, of Aylsham, Norfolk ; and the second, of £lO, by Mr. Richard Shirley, of Stretton. The steer exhibited by her Majesty was commended. The first prize, of £3o—silver medal to the breeder—for Here ford steers not exceeding 3 years and 3 months, was also awarded to Mr. Wortley, the Earl of Darnley's entry coming in for high commendation at the hands of the judges. In the classes "of Scotch cattle Mr. M'Combie, of Tillyfour, Aberdeen, whose Black Prince last year created so great a sensation, carried off the second prize of £l5 for a Scotch polled steer (any age), which steer is a son of the famous beast mentioned above. The Duke of Sutherland was unsuccessful in obtaining any award for his contribution to the class of Scotch horned steers. To Lord Berners, of Keythorpe Hall, Leicester, was awarded the first prize of £2O, with silver medal to the breeder, for fat wether sheep of the Leicester breed, 1 year old (under 23 months). The second prize of £l5 went to Mr. William Brown, of Jlolme-on-Spalding. Lord Berners also took the first prize for fat wethers 1 year old (under 23 months), each !Lee? not to exceed 2201 b. weight. Mr. Bradshaw, of Cakham, Rutland, gained the second prize of £l5, and Mr. William Brown, of Holme-on-Spaldin g , the third prize of £5. In the class of fat wether sheep of - the Lincoln breed, 1 year old (under 23 months), the first prize of £2O and a silver medal to the breeder was awarded to Mr. Carswell, of Quadring, Spalding, Lincoln. The first prize of £l5, with silver medal to the breeder, for fat wether shep of the Kentish or Romney Marsh breed, was carried off by Mr. James Newport, of Ashford, Kent. For fat wether sheep of the Southdown breed, 1 year old (under 23 months), the first prize of £2O, with silver medal to the breeder, was taken by Lord Walsingham, of Merton, Thetford, Norfolk ; the second prize of £lO by Mr. Hugh Penfold, of Chichester; and the third by Sir William Throckmorton. The entry of Lord Sondes, of Elmham Hall, Thetford, was highly commended. The class of fat wether sheep of the South down breed, 1 year old (under 23 months), each sheep not exceeding 2001 b. live weight, was generally commended. The first prize, £l5, silver medal to the breeder, was awarded to Lord Walsingham, of Merton Hall, Thetford. The second prize of £5 for pigs of any white breed, not exceeding 9 months old, was taken by the Queen for pigs of Prince Albert's Windsor breed. The first prize, value £lO, with silver m e d a l t o th e b ree d er, going to M ; Melville Cartwright, of Lady B an k , Fif e. The silver cu • of the value of £2O, for the best p en o f p i gs i n any of the classes, was awarded to Mr. Thomas Chamberlayne, of Cranbury Park, Winchester. The silve r me d a l for 'the best Southdown wether sheep in extra stock, was given to Mr. Henry Humphrey, of Ashrington Hurst, Sussex. The silver medal for the Southdown ewe in extra stock was awarded to Lord Walsingham.

Q 0 41,134,z. ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE AT ABERDARE, A most villanous outrage was committee near Aber dare on Saturday morning, about seven o'clock. The scene of the atrocity was a small farm house occupied by Mr. Richard Thomas Richard. At the time men tioned the inmates of the house were thrown into the greatest state of excitement and alarm by an explosion on the premises. At the east end of the house are a pantry and dairy with the roof eloping from the houso gable. Into this dairy a small cask containing ounpowder seems to have been put through a small window, a train laid, and then fired. Of the results it is strange that so little disaster has to be related. The roof of the pantry and dairy were blown off, and the doors of both places blown into the former; every domestic article in them, besides an old table, was also destroyed. Tho door Jpening from the dairy to the kitchen was forced open, Ind some shelves resting on a dresser, with the con tents, were broken. Some articles of clothing hanging JII lines in the kitchen were burnt. The kitchen window and frame were found in the garden, without pane broken. Tho flooring, which was uncoiled, of the room over the kitchen was forced from the joists, but, strange tc say, the children that were in bed in the room etcapedun nurt. Mr. Richard and his wife wero in bed in a little ra - - 'eur, having a door into the kitchen. Alzogether ten per sons wore said t) be in the house. Tho man that perpe :rated the outrages is said to be a "Thomas Moore, living it Aberaman. lie was found by some workmen not far from the farm, with his clothes burnt off him, and his person burnt severely from the breast almost to his feet. No motive whatever can bo assigned for the outrage. Nlorris, it is stated, has mule no statement, and is almost too ill to be questioned. He lies in his own house in a most precarious state. Mr. Richards is described as a quiet, Inoflonsive man, and much respected. Ho does not appear to know the fellow who thus attempted to take the lives of the whole household. A II .RELIGIOUS" SWINDLER AT CARDIFF. The Cambria Daily Leader gives the particulars of a :lever swindle perpetrated by a man called Ashton, on several tradesmen connected with the Free Methodist Chapel at Cardiff. It appears that some months since Ashton and his wife arrived at Cardiff, and almost imme iiately connected himself with the Free:Methodist Chapel in that town, According to reliable authority, when he first .ame he was rather badly off, and acknowledged to having seen somewhat dissipated in his habits. Mrs. Ashton 'btained her living by selling nightcaps. They soth professed to be very deeply impressed with ueligion, and the husband, from his regular attendance won the various religious services of the chapel, and his autwardly very pious demeanour, rapidly produced so iavourahle an impression upon the minister, the leading Dfficers of the church, and the members generally, that he became .not only an officer, but occasionally a local preacher. During the last five months be rose every Sunday morning at six o'clock, and conducted a prayer meeting at the chapel from seven till eight ; ,eturned to partake of a hasty breakfast, attended the school at ten, the forenoon service at eleven, dined at one, and returned to the chapel soon after two to join a class ; next took part in a prayer meeting at half-past five, again attended public service at six, prayer meeting after eight, and up to a late hour of the Sunday was engaged in the most scrupulous way per forming his religious duties ; Mr. Ashton actively Sharing with him a great deal of his "pious" enter prise. A suspicion, however, arose in the mind of one of the congregation that all was not right, in consequence of the deaths and bequests of several relatives of the A slitons, ho, notwithstanding the amount of money left them, coatinued to borrow various items from their friends. These sums they forgot to repay. Accordingly they were deliberately charged with swindling, but the "infamous libel" was stoutly and indignantly denied by the martyred "brother." A committee was appointed to inquire into the charges, and after taking a great deal of evidence, the committee expressed their opinion that Mr. and Mrs. Ashton had been guilty of obtaining money under false pretences. This opinion, however, was not favourably received, as far as credence was given to the witnesses—at the same time it was thought prudent by the congregational manage- ment that Ashton and his wife should be suspended. Another inquiry was instituted, and being of a more favourable character to the accused, the second committee's opinion was accepted assatisfactorY. In order to clear his character and to blind the eyes of his dupes, Ashton, who had taken himself off to London, declared that he would advance £2,500 to purchase the building,besides adopting other ingenious stratagems to gull his unhappy victims. His cleverness succeeded, and on his first appearance at the chapel after his return from London the scoundrel had the audacity to state from the platform to the congregation at the close, " Henceforward this place shall be used for no other purpose than the worship of God. My arrangements are all completed, and the ball for the future shall be known as the ' House of God."' So thoroughly, it appears, did the members of the congregation now feelsatisfied all was right, that a few pounds were collected, a large morocco-bound family bible was purchased for Ashton—which was purposed to be presented in the name of the minister, along with an equally handsome Wesley hymn book. On each book is the following inscription in illuminated characters : " Presented to Mr. W. Ashton by the Pastor, the Rev. W. Watkiss, Committee, and congregation of the Evangelical Methodist Tabernacle, as a token of their admiration of his great Christian bene volence, and as an expression of their wish for his future happiness.— Cardiff, November 1868." Soon after Ashton mysteriously disappeared, without, it may be mentioned, paying the £2,500. The amount of money taken with them is believed to be about £6OO, besides two or three hundred pounds in jewellery, clothes, and other articles. The great bulk of the cash was got from the Cardiff tradesmen and other friends while the swindlers were in London. Though a reward of £lO is offered by one of the sufferers, there is little likelihood of either of the swindlers being apprehended. The length of time that has elapsed, and the great expense that would be entailed in a really effective search, must forbid the hope of their capture. LAW AND POLICE. LIBEL—The action for libel brought by an ex-inspector rf public carriages against Sir Richard Mayne, atter occupying two days in the Court of Common Pleas, has been brought to a conclusion. The alleged libel was con tained in an order of the day issued by the Chief Com missioner, in which it was set forth that the plaintiff had been dismissed from his post, and assigning reasons why this step had been taken. The jury, after having been locked up between three and four hours, were discharged without coming to a verdict. NECESSARIES.—The question as to what are " necessa ries " for a young gentleman not of age seems to be a long way from a perfectly satisfactory answer. A case has been heard in the Court of Queen's Bench, in which Messrs. Jenner, jewellers, of St. James's street, brought an action to recover £383 from a gentleman now of age, who had incurred the debt during his minority, The sum of £4O had been paid into court, and found by the jury to be sufficient, many of the articles supplied not being deemed necessaries. The Chief Justice was very severe upon a recent decision of the Court of Error on the point at issue, remarking that he once had a clear idea of what the law was, but the judgment in question had rendered confusion worse confounded. SELLING BAD MEAT.—Two country butchers have been convicted at Guildhall of having sent putrid meat for sale in the London market. One was fined £2O, with £5 ss. costs, and the other was sent to prison for a month, with out having had the option of paying a money penalty.. THE SLIGO TRAGEDY.— The Sligo jury, in its verdict on the body of Captain King, so mysteriously shot during the recent election disturbances, negatives the charge of wilful murder against the townspeople, and finds that Captain King was accidentally shot by Mr. Webber, whose pistol exploded while he was engaged in a struggle with some man unknown. The violent death of Captain King under any circumstances was a melancholy event, but it is a matter for public congratulation that the annals of the lection are not to be stained with another murders VISIT OF THI3I QtYpil: ..110tLAND TO 1111,4 EMBANKMENI'•---.The Queen of Holland) dust* her sojourn i n the cr , .—e metropolis, ih§Ottttti ) With htr suite; -- • Northern Thal-110 Etthahlthieht: Her MajestY was accompanied by Sir John ThWait'es; ih'e 'p'liiii4tnaii of the Metropolitan board 'Of Walt AiM Lovick l residtiiit gtarting from Westmin ster-biitigt, from which point the most imposing view of the extent and magnitude of these important works is to be obtained, her Majesty examined with much interest the details of the Westminster Steamboat Pier, and passed along the whole extent of the works to the concluding section of the embankment operations by the Temple Gardens, forming contract No. 3, which is now in course of active prosecution by the contractor, Mr. Webster.

SMALLEY. (From the Anglo-American Times.) The London correspondent of the New York Tribune has written a long letter to the Daily News to convey to the English a statement of the true feeling in America regarding Mr. JOHNSON'S course in England as the representative of the United States. Mr. SMALLEY asserts that it is injurious to the interests of his special mission, the settlement of the Alabama and other claims, as well as preju- dicial to the general interests of the countries; that it was calculated to revive the bitter animosities left by the war, which had in a certain measure been mollified ; in truth, a skimming of the oil off the troubled water. lle maintains that Mr. JOHN SON'S language is delusive, and ill-calculated as such for the settlement cf a dispute of which, to un derstand the causes of quarrel as well as the temper of the other side, were the first preliminaries. In proof, he produces extracts trout the leading Ame rican Fillers, choosing the most moderate and influ ential. We are bound to say that Mr. SMALLEY does not ex Iggerate the present tone of feeling in America as expressed in the presl ; and although we have modified our statements of it in obedience to a sound rule, not to assume the momentary irri tation, and the strong expressions in consequence uttered, as the genuine tone of public opinion, unless accompanied by symptoms which show it to be not a mere hasty expression of popular indignation. What the true strength of the feeling is against Mr.ltEvEmn - JOHNSON we cannot with our present means gauge. It may be as Mr. SMALLEY represents it, in which case the present American Minister will be recalled; but we do not think that it is so deep, and there fore so lasting, as Mr. SMALLEY believes. Those who carefully read even the extracts he has selected will find that the current is not running against England, but against Mr. JOHNSON. It is not a national animosity, but the irritation from the supposed humiliation of their Minister's con duct, especially at the Liverpool banquet, in his ostentatious reception of Mr. LAIRD. That from an American Ambassador was irritating to his countrymen, as it wholly misrepresented them, and therefore was not only injudicious, but false to Ameri can feeling, which the Minister ought to have known, and which not knowing proves him unqu'ilified for the post. But, beyond this, what harm has Mr. JOHN SON done to deserve recall, and so loud an outcry against him. Notwithstanding Mr. SMALLEY we believe the objects of the mission will be happily achieved in Mr. JOHNSON'S hands, and in failure one of those rare opportunities may vanish which come and are lost, it may be for years, and it may be for ever, because fools who cannot see ne glect them. Americans suppose that it is England's interest to settle this dispute, and their's is to keep it open, with a view to retaliation hereafter. They take it for granted that England will go to war before them, just as they did when the Representa tives of nearly all the other Powers agreed to aban don privateering as a means of carrying on war, little supposing that their own commerce would be the first attacked. Men are never wise in attempt ing to erect themselves into a providence, and the best statesmen are these who make the most of things as they are, and wait upon HEAVEN'S de crees. There is this good in fostering the enmity of the countries to a point of hostility short of war, that it effectually prevents either from going to war. In withdrawing as far as possible from European complications, England was probably much under the influence of the feeling that she dare not take an active part in the face of American enmity, and Prussia may have had her unchecked swing from this cause. None can tell how these cases ramify, reacting upon the original agent, and it is not wise to throw bommerangs against which the thrower has to guard and is in danger so long as they are in the air. Suppose America did keep this question open, what then is the position ? Both nations are aware if they go to war that their commerce may be materially damaged by the priva teers sent out by the other, and each has a fair start in the future to annihilate property, doing as much harm at as little benefit as can well be conceived, even to the enptnrers. England, however, starts a long way ahead, having already had an innings in the past. Now, it is this innings which makes it better worth the while of the United States than of England to settle the question for the past, although, taking all contingencies, it may be better worth the while of England than of the United Statos to settle for the future,calculating the changes as well as we can. lhe past is positive—the future is problematical, and time's wheel often turns us heels over head in a jiffy, working our brains upside down, and showing what poor things the best of us are. It is therefore of doubtful wisdom to sacrifice a present advan tage at the expense of another nation, for the hope of being able more grievously to injure that nation in the future, when the chances are not far from even that the Power which foregoes the advantage will be the one first involved in the difficulties it anticipates for the other. Indeed, on a grand scale, it is not dissimilar to the notice a Southerner some times gives another, that he " will shoot him on sight ;" whereupon the other goes about with his hand on his pistol, and takes the first opportunity of waylaying and shooting him who sent the no tice. When two men walk about a town, each knowing th•it from any corner, in a brilliant room, at a bar, talking to his friend, he may be killed, he is disagreeably kept on the qui vice, to the great injury of his business as well as of his peace of mind. He has the alternative of being shot, or of shooting a fellow-creature, and being arrested and tried for murder, each almost equally pleasant in its way, and a proceeding which speaks volumes for the good sense of those who originated the custom. Why per- petrate as a nation something of this folly of indi viduals? The opportunity is open, and whichever side doses the gate of reconciliation may soon have bit ter datiCe to regret the madness. To-day it may be America's turn to throw cold water on England's desire for this settlement—to-morrow it may be England's turn—but both may depend on the fact that this see-saw will not long continue, but end in ft dattiStroplie which tray change the destinies of a country. Thus nations Mid individuals are for ever playing with their opportunities and losing them. Should the American Minister be changed and the Alabama claims remain unsettled, they will assume at once a totally new phase, for England will be persuaded that America does not mean a settlement, and must prepare accordingly. The next Minister will be received with civility, but with nothing mare, A day which cannot then be recalled will lie gene for ever—for the same overtures we are satisfied will never again come from England. We would therefore regret if America saw fit to do more thail to repudiate, as a true representation of her feelings ; the proceedings of her Minister in his re eeptitm of Mr. LAIRD. The 7ribune's correspon dent has had no small share in creating the feeling which he describes hi the Columns of the Daily News ; nor should Mr. SMALLEY forget that his Aid; Mr, 110H/tag GREELEY, is said to aspire td Mi. JoirgSa's post. his well-written ietterti ptit the worst aspect on the Minister's conduet, at a tinie, kid! *heti the eireulation of the 7ribune had perhaps never be4ii Walled lyy any paper. The " scurrilous " journal, ag 04 Nlandard unfairly calls it, was circulating as a Campaign organ all over the country, and was in efety one's hand. such appeals to American pride could nOt fall to produce an effect, and would ac &Wilt in nd small degree far the indignation being id general. but the American people cannot blame the Eriglish ft.4f dedifind to do their Ambassador honour as a complimect to than, Mailing it as , plainly as a nation can act as a proffer of the hand of reconciliation. The rebuff would be indeed felt were it rudely rejected, and why ?—because an American sent by Americans met with courtesy, men who had expressed enmity to the North, arnorg them a trader who had built and sold at a profit the most destructive of the Confederate cruisers. At best this would be but a poor reason, though the case would widely differ if Mr. JOHNSON failed in an honest and intelligent discharge of his duties as an Ambassador. This is far from being shown ; indeed there is reason to believe that the reverse is the case, and on this Mr. JOHNSON'S merits as a Minister must bo tried. We cannot then think that there is" the depth in the recent ebullition in America represented by Mr. SMALLEY, as there is not real cause, and the irritation produced by the insolent speech of Mr. ROEBUCK, followed by the LAIRD meeting, the whole happily worked up by Mr. SMALLEY himself, may cool down and leave Mr. REVERDY JOHNSON to be judged by his official acts, and not by his ideas of good manners at table. Since writing the above we have read Mr. JOHN SON'S speech at the Birmingham banquet on Wed nesday night, and his assertion that the Washing ton Government approve his course and are satis fied with the negotiation is conclusive. Mr. JOHN SON eloquently reverts to what he has done—the enormous interests involved in peace, the fearful losses incurred by war, and the great benefit that will accrue not only to America but to the world from the close alliance of these nations, and then he says, " there remains no cloud, small or great, to make the continuance of peace between the two countries at all doubtful ;" adding, " that the amicable relations between our respective countries will be placed on a firm and enduring basis, which it is hardly possible will ever be weakened." Nor does he alone thus answer the attack made on him by a large portion of the America❑ press, for he re plies to the very point urged against Lim—giving as good as he got. Ifowever forcibly he may ad vocate national peace, he himself shows more in clination to fight than to be cowed by the torrent of abuse from America :—" I received civilities from all I have taken by the hand—every hand that was offered to me, without regarding the opinions that any man might have held during our late unhappy contest. To have done otherwise in my judgment would have been equally foolish and ungentlemanly, and I thank Go D that while I perhaps may flatter myself in believing that I am not capable of failing on the part of the first, nature has not so cursed me as to cause me to fail in the latter. If there are any, either in England or the United States who are so cursed in that they should think proper to render judgment against my conduct, I appeal from that judgment, and shall, in the language of the lawyers, assign their total disquali fication by nature to entertain and decide the ques tion." There is nothing like pegging away. It is the means by which GRANT won, and it is the way in which Mr. JorPsoN will win. Indeed we are at a loss to understaad, always putting aside the recep tion of Mr. LAIRD, why he should have been so abused, and we scarcely think that it reflects any credit on the Republican party press, that so able and zealous a public servant of the opposite sida, while honestly and successfully carrying out a delicate negotiation should have been so furiously assailed. THE ANNUAL REPORTS. The Cabinet Ministers at Washington and the heads of the various bureaux are very busy with their annual reports. The subordinate officers must report first, as on their returns the head of the de partment grounds his to the President, who embo dies all in his address to Congress. These reports give very full information on the progress of the nation, and the above heading will have to stand for a considerable period in our columns before we can give even the briefest summary of them all. First, then, as regards the Army, the following are reports seat to the Secretary of War, the year ter minating the 30th June, 1868. The Adjutant- General states the strength of the Army on Sept. 30th to have been 43,741 men,besides4,34o men in the Engineer, Ordnance, and other special branches of the service. The regiments of infantry are rapidly decreasing in numbers in consequence of the numer ous discharges and individual application in addi tion to the ordinary discharges and casualties. Before January 1, 1869, about 4,500 men will have left the service in consequence of the expiration of their term of service. The losses to the army by desertion are considerably less than they were last year, the number of desertions having been 2,700 less, and the number of arrests having been 1,000 greater than during that periol The cavalry re giments have been kept up to their full force in consequence of the demand for troops to re sist the Indians. Recruiting for all branches of the service was carried on till November 26, 1867, when orders were issued to reduce all the regi ments of infantry and of artillery, except the ten light batteries, to the number of 50 privates:for each company. On July 24th, IS6B, instructions were issued prohibiting all enlistments, except for the cavalry, and in the latter arm of the service only five stations for recruiting have been continued. The strength of the coloured regiments is nearly up to the required standard. The Adjutant-General re commends that the term of service of enlisted men be extended from three to five years, and that boys over twelve years old, with the consent of their parents, be enlisted as musicians. Ile also recommends the passage of a law empowering the President to drop from the army rolls any ollicer who deserts and cannot within three months be arrested for court-martial. The 203 volunteer officers in service at the date of the last annual re port have, with the exception of General Howard, been mustered out, and the mustering and disburs- ing offices at Philadelphia, Albany and Columbus, Ohio, have been closed. The Adjutant-General concludes with an extended report and recommen dations on the subject of military punishments. The Report of Commissary-General of Subsist ence, A . B. Eaton, discusses the supply of the troops on the plains, and between the Mississippi and Rocky Mountains. There the cost of subsistence has hitherto been very large, which the construc tion of the Pacific Railroad and the settlement of country will hereafter materially reduce. The ave rage cost of fresh beef per pound this year, east of the Rocky Mountains, was 11 3-10th cents, being 3 -10 ths of a cent per pound less than the cost last year. The average cost this year at nine of the principal points of supply was 23 cents and two mills per complete ration. The average value of tobacco furnished per month to the army was $19,366, which amount is deducted from the pay proper of the men who use the weed. The value of the sub sistence stores supplied the freedmen and refugees for the fiscal year of 1867 was $882,684, and in 1868 it was $632,776, making a total of $1,515,461, of which the Freedmen's Bureau has repaid $1,048,669. The value of army stores is sued to the Indians during the fiscal year of 1867 was $644,439, and in 1868 it was $373,926. Referring to the money commutation for rations to soldiers who were prisoners during the war, 4,944 applications were received, on which $250,000 have been paid. In reference to the subsistence stores taken and used by the army, there have been received 5,386 claims, of which 3,534, aggregating $2,088,373, have been disallowed ; 996, aggregat ing 663,034, have hot yet been examined ; and 845, aggregating $196,930, have been recommended for settlement. All army officers' accounts re ceived during the year numbered 12,502, of which 12,215 have been examined and sent to the Treasury. All volunteer Commissaries of Subsistence have been mustered out, and Congress is again recommended to authorize the appointment of Assistant Commis. saries from line Lieutenants, and also the appoint ment of Post Commissary Sergeants. The Report of the Quartermaster -General states than 111.4 branch expended $36,500,000, leaving with the ili.lance of appropriations for 1868, and those for 1869 of IV 4,000,000, nearly $15,000,000 available for the fiscal yar 1869. Transportation es over other railroads than the Pad!.tic lin has been u tt . as follows :-90,0 00 tons frei g ht, at a cost of $289,221, and 40, 000 per sons, at a cost 0f484,122. The Union Pacific tran s p orted from June 30, .1.:::97) to Sept. 90, 1868, about 20,777 tons munitions of war and 7,415 persons, at a cost of $1,070,655 ; the Union Pacific Kansas Division, for the some time, 15,157 tons and 6,395 persons, at a cost of $531,275. The fleet of transports, one thousand strong at the close of the war, has been sold or otherwise disposed of. In reference to the debts due from the Southern Railroads to the Depart ment, it is stated that 16 companies have paid un in full. The total debt remaining for material purchased and interest is $8,500,000. The total number of animals now in the service is as follows : —Horses, including officers' horses, 13,291 ; mules, 17,866 ; oxen, 211. The establishment of two stock farms ; one in Texas, the other on the Plains, for the purpose of raising horses for the army is re commended. The large stock of clothing on hand at the end of the rebellion s•tonlied the more important articles used during the year, and the sale of damaged articles have paid the expense of taking care of the stock and of purchasing the new articles needed. It is not expected that any appropriation for cloth ing will be requital for several years. The number of national cemeteries is now seventy-two, and reports have also been received of 320 local post or private grounds. The total number of graves is 316,233 ; the bodies of 175,764 of these graves have been satisfactorily identified. The amounts ex pended for sites, coal, transportation, and all pur poses connected with the work to June 30, 1868, was $2,600,000. The estimated expense for next year is $500,000. TIIE SURGEON GENERAL'S REPORT.—Surgeon General Barnes has made his annual report to the Secretary of war. The whole number of deaths among the white troops during the year was 1,353, among the coloured troops, 268. Dr. Barnes re ports at length what has been done in his office toward studying and classifying the records of the various injuries received by soldiers during the war, as well as what progress has been made in arranging the Medical Museum, which has become a very valuable feature of his department. His expenditures during the year were $1,756,600. W. 11. Reed has been appointed internal re vonue gauger for the third Massachusetts district, and Charles L. Williams for the first Connecticut. Dr. Charles H. Bartlett, of Northampton, for many years assistant physician of the Lunatic Hospital , has been appointed to the Minnesota State Hospital, va cant by the death of Dr. Shanley. Dr. Van Nostrand was displaced from the State Hospital of lowa for alleged mis conduct, and Dr. M'Farland, of the State Hospital of Illi nois, resigned from Dec. 10 to visit Europe next spring which leaves two vacancies. The Rev. Drs. Eels, of California, and Henry Potter, of Grace Church, New York, aro mentioned eS possible candidates for the Presidency of Union College. General Grant remained at the Metropolitan Hotel, New York, the greater part of the 18th November, but received very few visitors. In the evening the Gene ral was entertained at dinner by Mr. A. T. Stewart, at the residence of the latter. He retu raed to his hotel at a late hour. On the 19th, General ;Grant was to be entertained by Mr. IL L. Stuart at his residence on Fifth-avenue. A large number of cards had been issued for the entertain ment. The General was afterwards to return to Wash" ington. We learn from America that " Francis Jones is announced as the wickedst man in London," and We can not contradict it, as we do not know who Francis Jones ls• The offices of Supervisors of Revenue, lately created by Congress, the appointing power to which ha s so long been in dispute between Commissioner Rollins and Secretary M'Culloch, are now being filled. Alexand er Fulton, of the Baltimore American, has been appointed 10c Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia. J udge Olney has the place for Illinois, but Charles Hudson for Massachusetts and John Commons for Indiana, though nominated by Commissioner Rollins, have been vetoed by Secretary M'Culloch.
