SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. 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 be 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 t 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 be 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 :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 North, 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 from 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:stenc?, in the ranks of R publican politicians of a half-consc:ous distaste 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 Soutli—a lenity quite consistent with faithfulness to his duty—or are annoyed with his persistent silence, or think•iiiin 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 more share the p9liticians' 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. Te 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 vigilant, Whigs affect a spurious Conservatism o! their wn.• When, on the other active, and l influential, the law of hand, it is both watchful, 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. G eorge 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, 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 Radic uls 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." These are the words of the war-cry that the great Radical champion has given his party, and they ecane opportunely to defeat the tactics of clerical firebrands Und astute sowers of tares. The ill-judging zeal 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 sight and thought of it. When Mr. 13right is in a passion he is very much in a assion. He says to himself, " do well to he angry ;" and piles up crushing epithets one over the other at a rate which takes away the quiet observer's breath, though it clearly fails to satisfy the impatient wrath of Mr. Bright. For our own part, while we disapprove as much as 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 counties 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 its promoters. altogether failed, if such w as, indeed, the object of promoters. The speeches of the Liberal members, says the John Bull, confirm the view that a further appeal must be mn/lc to the people on the Irish Church. In Cornwall we are told that upwards of 100 Liberals have resolved to vote for the Conservative candidate ; at Southampton there is a rumour that a hitherto leading Liberal is about to solicit the suffrag-es of the electors in the Conservative interest ; in East Suff.lk a rural dean, formerly an active partisan of the Liberal party, is keenly canvas.ing for signatures for the Church and State Society's address to the Queen, Luppurting the Tory party. I'Vith these, and many similar signs of the times, the moderate Liberals are getting 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 Militate. 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 thq House of Lords, the disestabhshment of till) Church of gps4l, and he division of t o Wacl, I' l - 5 ELOQUENCE OP "CONETIM TIONALISM." • - 1 ' Conftltutionalism" is, it must by owned, a great I mystery." a conundrum it is quite as good in its way as the representation of minorities. Mr. Tipping, a "Constitu tional" candidate for Stockport, has just published his ad dress, which is more remarkable for its poetical language than its intelligibility. It contains the following finnsen tence, reminding one strongly of the mawkish platitudes which the more weak-minded of our grandfathers were in the habit of propounding after dinner under 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 the consti tutional rails." Mr. Tipping, it should be added, is a rail way director.—Pall Mall Gazette. MISS BYE'S CANADIAN SCHEME. The Pall Mall Gazette remarks that Miss Rye has not been so successful in Canada as she desiroi. She hoped to induce the G .vernment to assist her iu bringing out another shipload of young women, but she 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 Canadaaiter tho Go vernment had 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. The Mormon arrangement is worth Miss Rye's notice—we moan, of course, only as regards recruiting their colony. Money is advanced 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 Rye'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• tained 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 excursionists 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 cablcss. THE ABEEGELE ACCIDENT AND FENIANISM. The Abc rgc le 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 brought to 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. He was sixty-nine years of age, having been born at Mitzingen, in ~Ilrurtemberg, in 1799. For many years he had resided at Basle. Hi's name is famous 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 Edgware-road. One omnibus was driven on to the pavement and damaged. Mr. Knox committed ono driver for a month, and the other for 14 days, with hard labour. The Tipperary constabulary have arrested another tenant-farmer, bearing the name of Dwyer, of Ballycohey, on the suspicion that ho 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 ho was idonti fled 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 124 " titos" of different kinds en tered, 18 were attributed to tuna or women, which num ber was in excess of any other animal, with the ex ception of dogs, who were accused of inflicting tho large ntrnber of 85. horse-bites numbered 12 ; cat-bites, 5 ; the monkey and donkey being accused of one each. Tho two remaining wore simply mntcrcd as "bites." Wo certainly bavo 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 Germs' family succeeded 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 wore 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 whieh they bad been traced was surrounded by troops, and the criminals were re. captured In an old house in which they had oonooaled them.

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 are 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 Ministry, and in installing in power and wealth and honours the leaders of such plots, not to induce unprincipled and ambitious 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 bad 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 under a grave malaise, caused according to the disloyal 'allegation of the Duke of Montpensier by the misrule ..of the Qiicen, why is there no expression - of popular 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 Revolutionary 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 macs 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 ; n 9 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.

It possesses all the usual pro pertio of turpentine acept the odour. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. (From the Anglo-American Times.) The Royal mail steamer China has arrived with news from New York to August 26. 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, ipt 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 rence. killed in the accident to the Irish mail train at Abergele. It appears that Lieutena'it-Colonel Wickham, of 11. M.'s 33.1 Regiment, wrote to Colonel _ _ _ _ _ _ Rich, stating his fear that his friend had, as he in 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 ; nn 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 ist 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 fight between the bricklayers and their employers, and 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 suc 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 compromise) 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 fall wages. The case has been submitted to the Attorney-General for an opinion by the Go vernment workmen general') —whether the law of Congress reducing the hours of labour to eight daily in the Government sboPs 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.

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 narrow an escape as the premises 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 V 50,000, in collusion with A. F. Lee, late of the Post-office in a contract for fur nishin g that depart ment with blanks, envelopes, &c.,which were never supplied. Both Lee and several wembers of the firm have been arrested, and in each case held to bail in the sum of $lO,OOO. Mr. Lavot Cabol, member of a New York and Philadelphia firm of brokers, and president of the Allentown Iron Com pany, Philadelphia, has absconded, leaving a vast deficiency in the company's accounts. He appears to have speculated with the funds entrusted to his care, and it is feared that the loss will 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 railroad employes were killed at Rhinebeck, New York. Alexander Green fell a victim in New Jersey, and seven men, besides ten wounded near Fremont station, by a train of the Union Pacific Railroad thrown from the track. After that eventful day two men were killed, and twelve badly injured, on the 18th August, near Galena, Illinois. We are not surprised at the following special telegram sent to the limes from Philadelphia, Sept. 2 :—" An Indian massacre is reported in Colorado. Nine persons have been killed. United States troops are being sent to the western border. An Indian war is impending." The intelligence by mail left no doubt that this was threatened. Solomon River Valley in Kansas was the scene of some shocking outrages, for the most part_committed on defence less women, though twenty persons have been killed, and property to such an extent destroyed that 200 settlers have been deprived of everything, and compelled to apply to Leavenworth and other places for relief. The reports have been con firmed by General Sherman. The Indians on the war-path are said to be the Cheyennes and Arapahoes, and one. of their victims is a well knownwhose body was re covered, scout, his p C a o n m io s n to s ck b , eing rescued, badly wounded. A party of 80 Cheyennes drove away 110 mules from within a mile of Fort Hayes. The reports estimated the Indian strength between 600 and 1,500. The people were flying from their homes in every direction, and the town was full of refugees. A skirmish had taken place between the Indians and the soldiers, who were compelled to retreat. 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 tiviry. 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 are Supposed to have attacked all the settlements from revenge. 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 Sam 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 Tell to reeleern his country, and comes forth absolutely bursting with eloquence. M. Lanctot braves the lion 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 m mufactur ers won]. I be prevented from making a tariff to lit themvlves, and the capitalists would at once be enabled to withdraw their funds now tied up in banks to invest with profitable results in industry, maoufactures,-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 satisfied 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 failed to 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- The Colorado arrived at San Francisco on the 16th August, from China and Japan, with 80 cabin passengers and 800 Chinese in the steerage, having made the passage in thirty days from llong Kong: liar 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 hts 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 cricketing 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. It 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 of 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 thi.tches in the neighbourhood of Boston against ;ii_ -twenty-two selected frOna Maisachtisats 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 paper money, 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 let of October for Mexico. He is well known in the Pacific States, where be 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 for 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 resp3nsible borrowers have had their wants provided for quite promptly at 4 to 5, generally at 4 per cent. on unexceptionable colt tterals, 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 cent. Mercantile paper of short date has been cashed at 6 to 7 per cent. per annum, geneially at the latter figure: At Boston rates are hold pretty firmly, though the supply of loanable funds is ample for the demand. The banks aecommo'late their bast customers at 6 per cent., ethers at 6 to 7, and outside paper,though good, is rarely discounted ea - lower figure than BPer cent. Only a few call loins are made, the rate being generally at 5 per cent. Reporta . frc m the West tell, sisusual, 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 standard rate at the western met opolis, is still the price at which prima piper: is dis count2d. Tha mirkeis at the West notice a strong ten dency of currency " hwards the interier;" and New York is s msible of a similar, though less presitim.detnan , l front the Weit2 .. TEL 6 fact • is; di.) niir,ll-talk , %l-of dent Ind for money "to move the erop3" IL is ntt yet been felt to any appreciable extent. The bears have been rampant all the week at the Now York Stock board, and scarcely a stock which is sold there but has suffered to a more 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 bean dropping like lead, and has sold as low as 45, a fall of 12 per cent. in less than - n. 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. Drove is depressing Edo with a view to buying in the stock to vote upon at the October election of directors. This may I be ton. A more olniorte roma ie found, heTrover, iu the facts that the deposits in the city backs declined eight millions last week; that as deposits declined, so must loans ; that the diminution of loans will first ba 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. With a capital, leases and bonds far aboie the value of the 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. Quito likely good roads will suffer with the bad, and sell for less that their actual value until the market is fairly settled again. Some of the causes which have operated so disastrously on Erie have helped to bring down Now York Central; certainly sympathy with another stock would hardly have depressed it so much. When Vanderbilt, after one or two failures, at length got posses-ion of the Cintral, it w;11 be remembaed that he tulllow it would b 3 run in tit) iota- ra,t of the stoekhol lors, so as to make sure and fat divi dends. He clipped of every possible extra expenditure, .ind made parsimonious reductions which disgusted the public, however much they delighted the stockholders. But he has acted 'upon this shallow policy of economy too long. Expenditures have been reduced beautifully, b A it does not require great talent in railroad management to reduce the current expenses of any first-class equipped road for a year, if th 3 repair shops are closed, and the dis abled engines and rolling stock sent to the general hospi tal, the road bed neglected, and the many minor details to secure permanency ignored. This seems to be the penny-wise pound-foolish plan upon which Commo ;lore Vanderbilt has run the New York Central. There was a similarly bravo reduction in expenses at the Hoosac Tunnel for a while, as everybody will remember, and it proved in the end the same costly experiment. No ono will b 3 surprised to learn the fact, therefore, that Van• derbilt is selling out his interest in the Central—a face which has, of course, only aggravated the downward tendency of the stock in the market. Wo note continued improvement in Boston, Hartford, and Erie. The stock is called for a good deal at Boston, and is struggling up among the Twenties. The parties who foster this " groat midland route" complain bitterly of coldness towards it at the State House; which, being interpreted, means that the commissioners are holding on to the three 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 ing debt, and the legal tender debt of the United States Government are alike subject to be depreciated. Tho 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 promuim 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 January, 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 ciation of the currency, so groat a reduction of the supply could not but cause an advance in the price ; but so long as gold has no such function under a system of legal ten der, it is still more likely to feel the excessive export. It seems impossible that any one should deny that the amount 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 cant. 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 dealers have been out of stock, and some of them short,' and therefore to make lower prices has been common in terest." There is also a decline in express stocks, attri butable in part to rumours of forthcoming assessments, and in part to the numerous and extensive robberies which have recently occurred, and which, if carried on many monthi, will peril the stability of the companies whose financial condition is now none of the stout est. The New England Express Company, which has just begun operations in Now 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, of which no one person can take more than 10J. Five per cent. is payable on subscription, and future calls will not exceed five per cent. each. It is announced that a large part of the stock has already been taken. The company is organised under the laws of New York, and, like other new comers in the business, will make a reduction of rates. The 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 $653,493 ; export for the year (since . Jan. 1) $63,268,156 against $40,720,461; 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 specie, 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) wore $2,781,816, an increase of $646,425 over last year. The Atlantic and Great Western Railway earned $1,103,092 in the three mouths 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 than 13 per cent. on the company's capital of twenty mil lions. The capitalists of Franco 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 4; per cent. The breadstuffs market for the past week has been 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 sulted. 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 new 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 while the wheat crop in that country will be excellent, oats, barley, hay, potatoes, and other small crops are 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 aro 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, awl that report has become stale by reiteration. Prices are generally unchanged. (From the Wall-street Journal) FRIDAY EVENING, Aug. 21, Paper is more plentiful for discount, and prime names pass current at 6to 7 per cent. Government Stocks con tinue 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 entiroexpense of their issue. lathe 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 44k, advancing to 471-, 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 thole that ruled in the spring of 1867. To make the comparison faithful, wo add to the present prices the dividends just declared. The table is suggestive:— . _ Low - ‘ - vater Present Advance Stocks. mark, 1867. price. per share Now York Central Reading Michigan Southern 64 Pittsburg - ..... ~.. 32 50 Rock Island - 109 Fort Waynno 894 107 St. Paul _ .

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 102 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 I been male at 40 cents. Petroleum stocks aro 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 ... 411 to 42 Merchants' Union, 35 par cent—. 211- to 22 United States ... 414 to 4 2 } Wells, Fargo, and Co. 26 to 27 The continued decline in prices of Express Stocks has elicited from the New York Tribune the following very encourliging remarks : " The decline in Express Stocks, which seems strange to some outside holders, is susceptible of easy explanation. Buford the war the entire capital of the express companies was about five millions, and dividends of 10 to 15 per cent. were came I. Since then tha stacks 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. Before the war railway managers were identified with the ex press companies, and the latter enjoyed special advantages 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 tho leading roads aim to do their own express business. Of late, too, the robbing of express messengers seems to have become a regular business, so much so that no month passes without some express safa 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 their stocks. Nine-tenths of the certificates of Express stock afloat in Wall-street aro in the name of office boys ; hol ders of Express Stocks aro liable for losses to double the amount of their holdings, and no ono can tell when an assessment of 10 or 20 per cent. may be levied on Adons or Merchants' Union."
