Popery, with its missal in an unknown tongue, has, however, the advantage of mechani cal unity of worship ; for a German, French, and English Minister, the latter being the Hon. and Rev. BAPTIST NOEL, who has long joined the Baptist denomination, each offered. extempore prayers in their respective tongues. The meeting of the second morning was " de voted to discourses on—Unity in spite of the diver sity of Protestant Christians." Of course these will be published in due time fur the edification of all whom they may concern. For ourselves we should, of course, rejoice in any scheme which , promises to keep religious peace among all the sects of Protestantism. We cannot, partly for the reason hinted at above, be very s The personal interests and pride of Protestant priests, or heads of sects, will always be in the way of real and cordial union. Anything like Federation is impossible. Toe Protestant sect; resemble much more the small republics of ancier,t Greece, and of middle age Italy, than they ever will those of the United States. Perpetual the:- logical war seems to be a condition of their fre;.- dom, perhaps of their very Existence. 'We need hardly add that the King and Queen, too, were as aflahle, and even cordial, as possible. There was nothing of the cold reserve of our Court core. monial in their intercourse with the delegates whom the King addressed in several languagu, professing his hearty zeal for their ebject—a pro fession we have no reason to think insincere. The delegates were loyal enough on their part, and testified their admiration of the liberal-minded monarch in shouts in all languages. THE SUN, 1",.ND0 - NT". TiIIURSDA 1-44 v ING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1857 Calcutta to give the benefit of bis valuable expe rience to Lord CANNING. This would be another solution of the problem, which would reflect the highest credit on the noble earl, and entitle him to the thanks and gratitude of ithe entire corn- munity. We have also that which was clearly the foun dation of the rumour respecting Agra having fallen into hands of the rebels, which, considering the number of fugitives, between 5,000 and 6,000, who had there sought shelter and protec tion, would have been a calamity of the most fear ful character. It appears that eight Europeans were besieged at a small place called Arrab, in the vicinity of Dinapore. After the quelling of the mutiny in that place, when no less than 800 of the rebels were about down by eight com panies of H. M. 10th Foot, one hundred and sixty men of that regiment were dispatched to relieve the parties so painfully circumstanced. Along with them were an equal number of H. M. 37th Foot—probably two companies from each regiment. Unfortunately they failed in their object, and were defeated with "heavy loss." This is very deplorable ; but still it is nothing to what would have been the case, had Agra fallen into the hands of the rebels, with more than 5,000 fugitives, chiefly women and children. It is also stated that General LLOYD has been removed from his command, and that General OUTRAM has received the appointment for the Dinapore and Cawnpore districts. As a measure of precaution probably, the 63d N. I. had been disarmed at Berhampore, and also the Governor-General's body guard. This was a necessary precaution that ought to have been earlier taken. " Better late than never 1" Another fearful massacre may have been averted by this measure. It will be borne in mind by our readers that it was at Berhampore, which is within 120 miles of Calcutta, and 9 miles of IVloorshedabad, the Rajah of which has been ac cused of joining in the conspiracy, that the first symptoms of disaffection were manifested on what has turned out to be the important question of the " greased cartridges." There dees not, how ever, appear now to be Much danger in these dis tricts. The gallant HAVELOCK has crushed the hopes of the rebels in these districts, and we trust that the speedy fall of Delhi will complete their discomfiture. It is impossible to conclude our observations on the existing state of affairs in India, without once more referring to the question of the Red Sea Telegraph. From a letter which will be found in another column, it will be seen that the East India Company have applied to Mr. MARSHMAN to know upon what terms the Red Sea Company will be prepared to lay down the line of telegraph to Kurrachee. Much valuable time has, however, been wasted, and a golden opportunity forfeited. The Company could have obtained the Atlantic cable on board ships prepared to convey it at once to its destination, at a very moderate cost. With a fair and reasonable guarantee, the money would at once have been forthcoming, and we might have had communi cations with Aden before the close of the present year. The ill-advised letter of Sir W. O'SHAUGH NESSY materially damaged the prospects of the undertaking, and the Board of Control, as usual, procrastinated. The sanction of the Government, the indispensable basis of operations, was thus wanting, and it is by no means surprising that even more stringent terms are now required. There can be no doubt respecting the practicability of the scheme, or of its vast, we might almost say vital importance. The Directors and pro moters are naturally disgusted at the vacillation and delays that have already taken place. They will not victimise themselves for the sake of the public, and if the telegraph be worth having, it is unquestionably worth paying for. The terms on which they will enter on the undertaking are con tained in Mr. C. L. PEEL'S letter, and we are certain that they will be considered fair and mode rate by every disinterested and unprejudiced per son. It is the " Circumlocution-office " that could alone procrastinate on such a matter, under the peculiar circumstances of the case. Another telegram has since been received at the Foreign-office. It is far more discouraging than what had previously come to hand. It announces the retreat of the gallant HAVE LOCK on Cawnpore, in consequence of serious illness that had broken out amongst his troops. The extraordinary labours which they had sustained, their 'indefatigable exertions required a little rest ; and disease had broken out in his camp that required him to place the invalids in a secure position. The cholera was telling fearfully on the exhausted heroes. Never had men more faithfully and suffi ciently discharged their duty. And we may well make allowances for trials more than human beings could bear. This unfortunately leaves the gallant garrison at Lucknow still in jeopardy. We trust, however, that adequate means may be devised for their rescue, ere it be indeed " too late." It is by the Suez telegraph that the retreat of General HAVELOCK'S retreat has been announced. The telegram itself is as follows . the Kitig of PRussiA, and it may be that the Chevalier BUNSEN, for he was present as the King's Aide de Council, will become the EUSEBIUS of the Berlin Council, and describe again the " divine effulgence" with which the rays of Royalty dazzled the assembled Divines. Why should not Royalty, beaming on the delegates of modern Protestantism, seem as magnificent to those who bask in its favour as in the times of the founder of Constantinople ? All our readers may not have been aware that the King of PRUSSIA and some busy English Bap- tists and Independents, with Sir CULLING EARD LEY, of Exeter Hall notoriety, and Dr. STEANE, a Baptist Minister at Camberwell, at their head, have been for some time engaged in getting up this Protestant Council at Berlin. It is not easy to come at the motives of all the parties con cerned. The two Englishmen just referred to have for some years been active in bringing all cases of Continental Popish persecutions for reading and teaching the Scriptures under the notice of the English public and government, and it would of course be a great point gained if the name of the King of PRUSSIA could be used everywhere as the patron and protector of Protestants of every creed. Ho would have a natural right of remonstrance on behalf of every Protestant Church which he had welcomed to Berlin. Naples or Tuscany, for instance, could hardly deem it intermeddling if he pleaded for Italians guilty of reading GoD's word, when he had invited to Berlin all who con sent to take the Bible as the rule of their faith. And if, on the one hand, the friends of the persecuted are glad to get the King into a posi tion which renders him their natural champion, the King himself, on the other hand, may have strong political reasons for wishing to assume that position. It is something to be at the head of Continental Protestantism, and the patron at the same time of American and English Protest antism, at least of the non-established half of the latter, for the Church of England takes no active part in the business. The Roman Catholics of late have been as arrogabt in his dominions as in ours, and have been partially successful in their priestly rebellions against his Government, and he may naturally wish to indemnify himself on the side of Protestantism. In most of the States of Germany there are some Protestants—a delegate was present even from now down-trodden Hungary ; and the King of Prussia well knows how convenient it is for a monarch to be regarded as the head of their creed by thousands of the subjects of a neigh bour. Nicholas taught him that lesson, if he had not learned it otherwise. It is by no means improbable, also, that he takes a real interest in the subject of Protestant Unity. He is known to pride himself almost as much as our HENRY VIII. and JAMES I. did on his theological know ledge and acuteness; and his intimate literary and theological friendship with BUNSEN must have fostered both his fondness for theology, and his disposition to take very charitable views of the " variations of Protestants." Whatever the motives of all parties, there they are ; some fourteen hundred actors in the business from all parts of Earope and from the United States, all busy in devising the best means to exhibit the substantial unity of Protestants. They have, indeed, a difficult task before them. It may be acknowledged that amongst the educated there is a far more general appreciation of Lard BACON'S remark, that " unity and uniformity be different things ;" and that were a Church of England now to be created, it would certainly embrace all the Protestant sects of the kingdom, with full liberty for each sect to worslaip as it pleased. The leaders in the Church of Eng land, however, and in several sects of Protestants also, have such an interest, pecuniarily and eccle siastically, in retaining things as they are, and the majority of their followers are kept so narrow minded by the teaching they listen to, that, if we take this country as au illustration of what may be hoped for, we fear the day of the death of Pro testant sectarianism, and of the full age of Catho lic religious liberty is yet far distant. At Berlin itself, the King finds one-half his theologians, of the old Lutheran School especially, who are the Puseyites of Lutheranism, very bitter against the meetings which are now being held. Here tile Archbishop of CANTERBURY invited, indeed, the delegates, after they had visited Prussia to make arrangements for the present meeting, to meet, speak, and conduct worship in his Palace at Lam beth ! His brethren were, however, much scan dalised that dissenters should speak, and still more, that they should pray to the Almighty in the presence of an Archbishop ! The result has been that the Archbishop and other dignitaries of the Church of England have " declined" to attend the Berlin Council, although the Primate was bribed by a special invitation from the Monarch and the offer of a whole house to himself ! That, however, would not have prevented his having to listen to prayers not found in the book of Common Prayer, and offered by un-episcopally ordaintA clergymen. Protestant union seems to be inau gurated by the largest Protestant Church in Eu rope " declining" Union ! At the meeting itself all seems to have gone on merrily enough during the two days of which wo have yet heard. There does really appear to have been a very proper Christian spirit among the numerous divines from all parts of the civi- is at BUENOS AYR MS, ctc., The tall-absorbing interest attached to the intelligence reaching us from the East, has for a long time almost precluded us from anything beyond cursory glances at foreign news reaching us from time to time from otha parts. Hence, though at other times news from the con tinent of South America is perused with attention, and commented upon with more or leas interest by our journals, at present the most important may reach us and scarce occasion a single remark. The lost arrival from Brazils and Buenos Ayres and the La Plata, for instance, is not without importance to many resident in this country. We learn that there exists a probability of a declaration of war against the rising independent State of Paraguay by the Brazi, the causes being, usual, some supposed slight on the part of the Paraguan authorities to the officers of a Brazilian vessel approach. ing the shores of the former. Mr. Christy is oppor. tunely in that quarter of the world, and may offer his friendly mediation to settle the difference. In Monte Video all seems at length quiet. The country is pros pering, and as proof of it land had risen some 50 per cent , within the last two years. This speaks well, perhaps, as regards general prospects in the important La Plata districts. We hear nothing of the success or failure of Mr. Christy in settling matters between the now-separated Argentine prosinces and Buenos Ayres. These countries, however, enjoy peace, and if reports msy be credited, a very large increase of commerce, and with it of revenue, is one of the pleasing results. There is little besides worth of note, unless it is "one of ti e proceedings of the Buenos Ayres Legislature, 'vArch some few years ago would have attracted more notice. It seems sine of the first acts of the new Governor, Dr. Alsina, has been (to mark his disapproval of General Rom and of his long career of impolicy, blighting as it most certainly was in every sense to the progress and best interests of his country), to declare the ex- President a traitor, which has been followed up by a further act confiscating the whole of his property. That Dr. Alsiva may have acted a little too ranch after the despotic system of Roses himself in not according him a trial, some may consider is possible, and some may consider it hardly warranted On the other hand it may, be fairly asked where would have been the use of a trial with all its expensive, and (in this case) useless ceremony ?--for even if conviction followed, the verdict would be mere empty words—for where is the criminal, if such ho really is ? Why, snug in Southampton far away from the reach of his prosecu tors. The word confiscation, however, suggests hints and considerations upon quite another but very interest_ ing topic to good many. Confiscation ! Who have endured this penalty mire patiently, but morecornpletely, and almost to the utter an nihilation of their property and at one time of even hope itself, than the unfortunate hollers of the paper or bonds known as the English Loan ? For full 21 year ; that the rule of ROS 33 prevailed, nothing was thought of their claim. At 60,0001. a year it may be said in the 20 years of his rule some 1,200,0001. was confiscated, which if paid, as in justice it should, and might have been out of the mortgaged revenues, customs dues, and all other resources, whatever ought t ) have found its way into the the pockets of the bondholders. This million and a quarter sterling remains unpaid to this hour, and in value less con pons, dangers a lasting shame to the name and Government of Rosas. We fear we cannot offer much consolation either as to its over being pail in a decent form. Some lor 2 per cent. Deferred Bonds are epoken of at compensation. It is a pier exchange where money is due, and has been so long overdue. The original bond wever it is proposed to treat with some regard to the original terming of the contract. Perhaps the bond holders may thank Messrs Baring or Mr. Giro and our Consul Mr. Parish that such is the intention. We trust this will not end in disappointment, though several cor re3pondents address ua in terms of some despondency We trust this is a false alarm. If means exist, this debt ought to be paid. We know we have always argued and proved that ample means do exist. Driblets, and drib lets only, are forthcoming, and some fear that a promise of a practically augmented dividend —promised by Riostra, bas already failed in performance. Wo have reason, how ever, to know that some mere formal difficulty only is in the way, and will be removed. Messrs. Brings will no doubt see to this. Buenos Ayres always paid her local debt— the principal even was almost entirely redeemed. What was the motive influencing Roses not to pay the English debt so far as interest upon it, he would find a difficulto in explaining away. lie cannot say the terms were other than far too liberal. The Repu'olic obtained 80 to 90 per cent, and have kept it and used it ever since. To apply the confiscated property of Resae in payment of his sad detalcations would be only jest. This -man (Rosa') destroyed the honour and credit of his country— in spite of a ll remonstrant:en, come from whatever quarter it might, whether Bishopsgate-.treat or Down ing•streot, in fact he set all at defiance—and now lives to see if not rue the result. A correspondent from Monte Video writing on the sentence passed on Ro)Sa9 winds up by emphllicelly remarking that—" Roses ! I think they have served him pite right. He never had any regard for his country—was a bar to all pro grese end improvement—neither science or commerce flourished—iii fact, he cared for no one but himself. HI,. game was robbery and plunder from the beginning unto the end of his career. I dare say be has bags-full of money in England. Many assert that he has millions snugly secured independent of estate across the water, in the provinces of Buenos Ayres especially." S much for Roses and Buenos Ayres. Whilst touching on South American intelligence we cannot but regret space will net enable us it refer at more length to Ven,,zuele and another tyrant quite a match for Roses in dishonesty if not in cruelty. We mean Monargas. Just like Rosa; he sets at defiance all just and sacred financial claims, just as Rosas did- for 20 years. It is especially again "English claims" that are thus treated. We remember well that when General Paez governed the Venezuelan Republic the bondholdersreceived their dividends punctu ally—it was true, on a reduced scale—but Monargas pays nothing, and has paid nothing for more than ten years. He has simply a mused or rather insulted the bond holders by despatching (so-called) commissioners, one batch after another, and when miserable terms have been apparently acceded to, he (Donargas) rejects t!le whole negotiation, and laue,che at poor Mr. Mocatta, the agent to the committee of bondholders, who sent him to Caraccas. This Monargae is, as we said, another Rosas, and unless speedily reforming his cede of law and j us justice, we apprehend a simirar fate awaits us. We see another meeting of the unfortunate dupes is called for Tuesday, 221 September, to reoeive a report. We shall have an eye tc. what passes ; in the meantime, Lords Clarendon and Palmerston ought really to put a stop to a system of insolent, heartless, and defiant robbery and plunder of British subjects, which nothing can excuse or palliate. General Paez, lately in England, maintains that means most ample exist for due and flea payment of all claims. Monargas pays like Rosas all local debts—it ie the English al one that are selected like those of 'Buenos Ayres by Rosa, for confiscation. This case of Venezeela is, if possible, worse than that of Buenos Ayres, and unfortunately the claim of the Venezuelan creditors is four times the amount of the ethers.

LATEST NE WS THE MUTINIES IN INDIA. The following telegraphic despatch, addressed to Lord Clarendon, wa.a received at the Foreign office to-day, Sept. 17, 12.50 P.M. : ALEXANDRIA, SEPT. 12. General Havelock had advanced 25 miles from Cawnpore, towards Lucknow, but, after defeating the mutineers [in] three engagements, with loss of 21 guns, he was obliged to retrace his steps to CAwnpore, for the purpose of leaving his sick, considerably increased from cholera, and was waiting for reinforcements. At Agra the Krok contingent, and other rebels, had been entirely dispersed. A detachment of her Majesty's 10th and 37th Regiments, 300 strong, had made a night attack upon the men of the Bth and 40th Infantry, who had mutinied at Dinapore, but was dispersed with a loss of 200 killed. The irregular corps at Segowlie had mutinied and killed their officers. A plot to murdE.r the Europeans at Jeesore and Benares had been discovered at Midnapore. The Shakawanti battalion was wavering, but had not been disarmed yet. Martial Law had been proclaimed in Behar. Great uneasiness was fait in Calcutta of an out break during the approaching Mohurrun, and the body guard had been disarmed, but allowed to retain their horses. Lord Elgin arrived on the Bth of August with 400 marines and a company of her Alljesty's 59th Regiment, and another steamer had brought some of the troops of the Transit. The Bt - mtinelc met two steamers coming up the River with troops. The Himalaya left on the 11th for troops from the Mauritius. The report of General Havelock's retreat comes by the Suez Telegraph.

After the mutiny at Dinapora a small force, consisting of 160 men of her Majesty's 10th Regiment and about the same number, of the 37th, was despatched to relieve some eight Europeans beseiged by the mutineers at Arrah. The expedition was not successful, and our loss very heavy. General Lloyd has been removed from his command, and General Outram invested with the command of the Dinapore awl Cawupore Divisions. The 631 N. I. regiment was disarmed at Beramporo on the Ist August. The 11th Irregular Cavalry and 'lie Governor-General's body-•guard have also been disarmed.

The Paris correspondent of the Times (Second Edition) says : " Although one or two of the Paris papers posi tively contradict the statement that preparations are making indicative of the expected or possible visit of a great personage to this capital, I am not on that account shaken in my belief that Such an event is on the cards, and that the Emperor of Russia will be invited to come to Paris. It is thought here, in well-informed quarters, that the Emperor. Napoleon would very much like to bring together, at the Tuileries, the Sovereigns of Great Britain and of Russia. This idea may not be realisable— at least for the present—but it is still hoped that the Emperor Alexander will come to France." FRANCE. s _ EA RIS, WEDNESDAY. has been stated in some of the journals that tin Prince Napoleon is about to marry a Princess of the House of Savoy ; but this statement cannot be true, inasmuch as the two daughters of the King' of Sardinia, the Princess Clotilda and the Princess Mary, are only aged respectively 14 and 10. The railway branch from Chalons to the camp, 25 kilometres in length, was opened yesterday, in the very short-timesof 70 cla3s from the first survey. A train left Paris at 9 in the morning, conveying M. Rouher, Minster of Pulllic Works, M. d e Frauque •villo, Director-General of Railroads, the Count de Segur, and a number of directori and other persons connected wi , h the company. The terminus is near the village of Little Mourmelon, just out side the limit ot the military territory, but close to the Roman road leading up to the imperial head quarters ; close also .to the commissariat establish ments, which are at the south-western corner of the camp. The opportunity of the opening of the branch was taken to present ttieEniperor with a suite of carriages, built for his express accommodation, and which he had promised to go to the terminus to receive. No less than 2,400 workmen have been c..nstantly employed on the branch. The telegraph was opened a fortnight ago. At 3 p.m. the Imperial carriages, glittering With gilding, arrived at the terminus, and the Emperor came up just at the same moment, with Mar.lals Valliant and Can robert, General de St. Jean tl'Augely, and other officers. He appeared greatly to admire the train constructed for his use. It consis!s of five carriages, communicating by little bridges, and comprises ante room, larder, dining room (the litter wainscoted in oak, with furniture of the same wood), a carriage arranged as a terrace with choice. flowers and a balustrade ot beautiful work manship (this carriage is uncovered) ; then comes the drawin g - room , fitt e d u p i n th o style of Louis XV., with furniture of sculptured and gilt wood, and Aubusson carpets ; two bedrooms complete the sumptuous suite of apartments. The carriages are decorated externally with carved and gilt bronzes. The whole getting up of this railway mansion is re markably perfect, and well worthy of an Imperial travelling residence: It cost nearly 300,000 f. The Emperor complimented the Company on the excel lent taste displayed, and it is said to be decided that he will use this train for his journey to Germany.

It farther says that " a fact (?) not mentioned in the official communica tion, and which will be very sad if confirmed, is already spoken of. Gen. Sir Colin Campbell, who was sent in such haste to India to take the com mand-in-chief, and who was expected to march on Delhi with the first European reinforcements that it was possible to collect, had fallen sick on his arri val at Calcutta. Of all the news omitted by the official telegraph this is the worst. We must wait for its confirmation."

The ship summer Cloud, Captain DiVid Steele, arrived in the Mersey this forenoon, from Mel bourne, after a protracted passage of 128 days. SLe has a general cargo, a few passengers, and 7,961 ounces of gold, value 31,8441. She left Melbourne May 14, and has experienced light winds and camas during the great part of the voyage. _ _ On. the 3d of July, lat. 22 N., long. 29 W., spoke her Maje 3ty's steam-ship Industry, from Rio J aneiro to Ascension ; Aug. 5, the American ship Orion, for Calcutta, lat. 9 S., long. 34 W. ; Aug. 12, the Ame rican ship Rover, Capt.

Conquest, from New York, lat. 16 N., long. 33 W. ; and Sept. 10, the ship Silistria, from Callao to Cork, Ist. 46 N., long. 19 W.—out 103 days. Thus in three consecutive days we have had three arrivals of overdue Australian vessels—the Sardi. nian, Anglo-Saxon, and Summer Cloud, with gold to the value of nearly 150,0001., after respective voyages of 123, 106, and 128 days. AMERICA. (A summary of the following appeared in our first edition yesterday.) _ LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. By the arrival in the Mersey of the Liverpool, New York, and' Philadelphia Company's screw steamship, City of Washington, Captain P. C. Petrie, we are placed in possession of advices from New York to the 3d inst., being one day later than to hand by the Arabia. Ihe City of Washington has made the passage across the Atlantic in 11i days, and brought 30 cabin and 150 second cabin passengers. The United States mail staamer Vanderbilt, from Havre and Southampton, arrived at New York on the 2d inst. The departure of the new Collins steamship Adriatic for Liverpool has been again postponed. The Atlantic, of the same line, was to have taken her departure on the 12th inst. The Roy3l Mail staamship'Asia, hence, arrived at New York on the 2d inst. The New York Herald announces that the panic at Walks . reet, announced by the last accounts, had quite subsided, and no further failures are reported at New York. The banking house of Hatch and ,Landon, at Cincinnati, has suspended payments. Upwards of 2,000 United States troops have been despatch to Kansas to enforce order at the ap proaching election. General Varney ' takes the command of the forces at Kansas, and Colonel Johnston the command of the Utah expedition. By the Illinois we have later news from Central America. The cholera had broken out among the troops returning from Nicaragua. A revolution had broken out on the borders of San Labrador, but it had been quelled. A famine prevailed-in Honduras. General Canes occupied Nicaragua with a Costa Rican force, and the Preaidental elec tion had not taken place. The Costa Rican congress meets on the 6th of September, when it is believed Mora will be elected president for life. We have dates from Valparaiso to July 15th and Callao to the 25th. The revolution in Peru continued. The fever was making great ravages in Bolivia. Vivanco was at Arequipa, and the Presi dent, with General San Roman, was about to attack him. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, The money market at New York had improved slightly, and there was a good sale for prime paper on the 31 at 12 to 15 per cent. There is a cessation of specie shipments to Europe. Exchange on London has fallen to 9 per cent. for bankers' bills. Thus there will be an immediate accumulition of gold in the vaults of the banks. The cotton market continued dull, , without quotable change in prices. The stock in this port, in store, and shipboard, has been ascertained to be 16,246 bales, a figure a good deal below what we had been lad to expect from the previous weekly tables published in a leading city price current. Up to the latest mail dates the receipts of all the ports were 2,906,716 bales, against 3,489,170 in 1856, and the total exports have been 2,248,590, against 2,940,291 bales last year. Oar ex ports to Great Britain exhibit the greatest falling off, and are 1,422,000, against 1,946,000 last yeaie To France we have sent 413,000 bales, against 479,000 last year. The total to other parts in Europe this year has been 412,000, against 520,000 last year. The Southern ports have sent to Northern ports 820,581, against 856,202 bales last year. We quote 15ic. for Midland Uplands, ditto Orleans 16c. The market for breadstuffs opened dull ; notwithstanding, there existed a hope rather than the belief that prices hai .touched bottom, yet under a desire to ,realise. Both kinds of Southern wheat are lower and dull. The sales were about 1 dol, 60:. to 1 dol. 683. for prime Tennessee white ; 1 dol. 45a. "to 1 'dol. 65c. for amber ditto ; and 1 dol. 50e. to 1 dol. 653. for Southern white. Freights are very dull, there being very few engigements to any quarter. To Liverpool grain is quoted at 3d. to 31d. in bulk, 3d. to 4d. in ships' bags ; 400 barrels flour were taken 'at 9d. To London 100 barrels dude turpentine were taken at 2e. 6d. THE LATE HORRIBLE MURDER AT LEIGH WOODS, CLIFTON. BRISTOL, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. Notwithstanding the extensive publicity which has been given to this murder, and the exertions which have been used, both by the Brist'l and Bomersetsbire Couuty Police, no identification of the body has 3et been ascertained. A circumstance has, however, been brought to light, which pro mises more than anything that has heretofore occurred to led to that result, and which has, in fact, already led to the arrest of one party. When the post-mortem examination of the body was about to be made, and the hair was being removed for that purpose, it was observed that the deceased had worn a sort of ribanchat the back of the head. During the post-mortem examination this riband became, in some sort of way, lost sight of, but yesterday afternoon it was • picked up by police constable Rowe, 77, of the county force, near the spot where the body had bean opened, trampled upon and dirty. The constable took it into the New Inn, where it was examined and found to be composed of some pieces of rich watered silk, neatly trimmed, and edged with velvet. It had been made up on a piece of card, and on that card being cleane.d and examined it was found to be a card of Membership of a carpenters' society connected with Bristol. The card when found was broken, but the fragments were matched, and there were discovei ed upon the wordq, " Brother George Davis is clear up to this date, 10th January, 1854," sth division, 71, in writing. Upon inquiries being mole ai the club, it was ascertained that the card 'had been issued to a man named George Davis., wl 0 .res des at Clifton Hotwells, but who was engaged at the time of the discovery upon a work at Ham brook, Gloucestershire. It was further ascertained. .that the man Davis ought to have attended his club last night, which he did not do, and consequently a constable prceeedecl this morning to 11 ImbroDk, and Davis is now at the New Inn. Whether any thing is known respecting him beyond the fact of his inme being on the card, I am unable to say ; but should there be nothing more than that, it seems hardly probable that he will be detained in custody. The woods were extensively searched yesterday, and a pond in Mr. Smyth's grounds drawn. The only thing found was a pocket-handkerchief, which was wet and rolled up, and which was picked up ! about 100 yards from the scene of the murder. BUENOS AYRES LOAN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Various reports have circulated on this subject, and some doubt expressed as to the bona fides of Senor Riestra and his Government. Theyare not woll-founded. The fact is 36,000/. ought to have been remitted to - Messrs. Baring this year (1857). It is understood it has not been so remitted. On the other hand, it is currently reported Senor Riestra has ample funds, and is fulj alive to the engagement he entred into as regards the Active Debt. The formal approval of Congress is alone wanting.- No doubt Caere seems delay, and unae• countable delay too in all this. As nine months of 1857 have nearly run out, the said 12,000 1 . of 1857 may be added to the 48,0001. promised in 1858, thus making a sum of 60,0001. Equa to the full dividend of 6 per cent: a small surplus to wards a redemption fund for next year. .Now for the causes, or one cause, of all this. I gilts it on rumour. One or more very large holders of these bonds are understood, in their anxiety for better conditions, to have written out to Messrs. Baring's agent, unknown to the distinguished-firm, to the committee, or to the bondholders, and urging on bim to press for 3 per cent. on all Deferred Bonds or Coupons, instead of only 2, or any medium. This act, (no doubt excellently well intended) is, it is -clear, simply a terrible blunder, and besides being unjust to Messrs. Baring, the committee and the bondholders, is equally so to the agent, Mr. White, thus unfair to all concerned, I give this as I hear it, but probably no great injury will result in the end—and as to quarrelling with such good intention, one is half disarmed—but a mistake it has been, most assuredly on the part of some well-intentioned persons.—l am sir, your obedient servant, A LOOKER-ON AND A HOLDER OF £10,500. BONDS. City, Sept. 14, THE RED SEA TELEGRAPH. It will be seen by the following that the com pany decline to lay down an electric telegraph unless upon a guaranteed rate of interest : "To SIR JAMES MELVILL, K.C.B. " 8, Moorgate-street, Sept. 15. " Sir,—l am instructed by the directors of the Red Sea Telegraph Company to acknowledge the receipt of your letter to Mr. Marshnoan, of 12th inst., requesting to be informed upon what terms this company will be pre pared to lay down the line of telegraph from Suez to Kurrachee. "In reply I am directed to state that in the original proposal made to the Court to lay down a line of telegraph from Alexandria to Aden the directors were influenced by many considerations, but mainly by the opportunity then open to them of obtaining the Atlantic cable at a moderate cost on board ships prepared to convey it at once to its destination, and of completing the commani cation so far for a comparatively small sum within a very short period. " Since that time circumstances have undergone e material change. It is understood that the Atl•sntia Telegraph Company, seeing no immediate prospect of selling their cable, have resolved to unship and retain it. In the meantime the cable has been the subject of de tractory comments, and the alleged impracticability of the project has been industriously circulated upon the authority of the Court's Chief Superintendent of Tele' praphs in India. Tae directors have never been in a condition to say that they had a definitive and complete arrangement with the Government, the Board of Con' trol having repudiated the statement that the East India Company had guaranteed 20,0001. a year, and Ulna thrown doubts upon the Board's basis of operations. The t time has run on, Parliament h as r i sen , an d a p er iod of the year has arrived at which almost all commercial en' terprises are stagnant. " From these various causes the directors approach with much unwillingness a suggestion for increasing the -scale of their outlay and extending their operations, and, after the experience gained they can only f e el justified holding out the prospect of being able to carry out the Court's wishes on the principle of a guarantee by the Hon. the East India Company on the came basis as the railways. "The circumstances already alluded to have satisfied the directors that, any attempt to enlist the public iota" rant in favour of this undertaking short of such a gua rantee would at present fail, and it r ema i ns f or the Eas t India Company and the Government to decide w hether the telegraph' shall be laid at once on those terms or postponed until the money-market shall be more favour' able, and the immediate urgency shall, perhaps, ka yo passed away. • " If the East India Company and the Governmen t shall concur with the directors in thinking that the este bli•hment of telegraphic communication with India i 3 matter of paramount importance, the following terns; are proposed as those on which success could, in all probability be relied upon, viz.:— °' 1. That the East India Company should guarantee interest at the rata of * per cent, on the capital, 2 ' 5 paid up, of 700,0601, to connect Suez and Kurrachee. " 2. That the East India Company- should have the opportunity of controlling the expenditure of the CO'l; pany, and the choice of a cable if they desire it, and , have the power of appointing an ex officio director at the board. " 3. That all receipts from all sources be paid into the treasury of the East India Company, as a set-off to the guarantee. "4. That one-half the profits above * per cent. be ,paid to the shareholders,' and the other moiety to the East India Company, until the advance be completely liquidated, and that the guarantee shall cease as soon as the net profits have amounted to 7 per cent, for two consecutive years. "5. That not less than 5 per cent, of the capital to be paid up at once, and the work to be completed within one year from the signing of the contract. " I au: further desired to state that as the execution of this most important work has been undertaken by the directors with the sole object of meeting the anxious wishes of the public, both in England and in India, irrc' spective of any personal views, should the Court be ow, abled to adopt any other more Expeditious means o' effecting the object, the directors will be prepared to render every possible assistance in reference to the fir mans they hold and otherwise, and in all their arrange' ments for prosecuting the Undertaking in the present 01. any modified form to consult the great publio intgrea t4 involved in it.
