AMERICA.

The New York Herald of the Pith publishes details
of news from Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, to the let ult.
A fearful negro insurrection was initiated at Puerto Ca•
hello on the 15th June. and • regular war id race and
colour commenced. The outrages began at Guaiguasa,
where Judge Miguel Mare was assassinated by the
negroes. At Puerto Cabello, fortunately, the negroes
were routed after severe street fighting, and retired to
the country. All trade was at a standstill, and commu-
nication with the interior cut off, but the Government
hoped soon to put an end to the insurrection.
.4 duel took place no the 15th in North !.rnijna. be-
tween 0. Jennings Wise, of the Richmond Enquirer,
and Patrick Henry Aylett, • contributor to the columns
of the Richmond R.caminer, Mr. Aylett fired first. Mr.
Wise then fired in the air, when 31r. Aylett withdrew
the challenge and asked for a reconciliation, which Mr.
Wise refmaxl. The "difficulty" grew out of the late
controversy between the Enquirer and the Examiner
on the subject of intervention itnti non-intervention of
Congress as regards slavery in the territories.
There was nothing new from Mexico. The release of
the conducta of 1:1,000,909 of silver and its transmission
to Vera, Cruz appear to have been obtained by • bribe of
L/4,000 to General Robles. The sale of the three Collins
steatite's, which had been prematurely announced, had
at length been definitely effected, for less than 1200,090.
They were in perfect order, and one of them—the Adri-
atic, is, with the exception of thy Great Eastern, the
largest vessel afloat. They are said to have been bought
on joint account by the Panama Railway Company and
the Pacific Mail Company.

alarmed, did not sustain any injuries, but the Canada
lost her bowsprit, cutwater, headgear, ike. Her neces-
sary repairs were to be executed at Roston, and there
would be no interruption to the mail service.

PARLIAMENTARY PA PERS.

EutGßATlON.—Although the emigration movement :
greatly abated in intensity in 114.58, the falling off was
mainly in the direction d the United States. The total
emigration of this year was 113.972(9,704 to the North
American colonies, 59,716 to the United States, 39,2%
to Australia and New Zealand, and 11,257 to other
places). against 212,875 in 18.57, 176,554 in 1856,
176,807 in 18115, 323,41 q in 1854, 329,597 in 1859, 368564
in 1852, 335,966 in 1851. 2i11,849 in 1850, 299,498 in
1849. 248,089 in 1848 , 258,270 in 1647, 129,851 in 1846,
93,501 in 1845, 70,886 in 1844, and 57,212 in 1843. A
table which exhibits the route taken by every 100 emi-
grants since 1843 allows that .kuatrafia has virtually
superseded the Canada' as an emigration field
The collapse of emigration to the Canadian provinces
is the more remarkable, as during the last few years
strenuous efforts have been made to advance them in
popular estimation. Another curious feature in the
foregoing analysis is that not even the gold discoveries
in the Australia' have prevented" Brother Jonathan"
from obtaining the lion 'a share of the surplus population
of these islands—a circumstance no doubt to be ex-
plained by the tendency of the Irish to emigrate in
whole families to the Great Republic, and the readiness
with which the unoccupied land of the States has been
rendered available for purchase and cultivation.

Scorce BANICING.—The last monthly return, made ,
in accordance with the Bth and 9th of Victoria, ch&P•
38, with respect to the Scotch banks of.issue, shows an
average weekly circulation of £4,130,622, a decrease of
£350,260 on the previous month. The circulation
Ilathorised by certificate being £2,749,271, it follows that
tl.e banks were £1,381,351 above their fixed issue. The
average amount of gold and silver coin held was
£2,493,775, being a decrease of £14,665 u compared
with the preceding return.

England and France will be reduced by mutual consent,
have produced a steady improvement in the market for

many of the small towns and villages of De,Ondlire
efforts are making to raise volunteer corps. At
Woodbury, a village not far from Exmouth, an
artillery corps is being formed. At Lympstone a
public meeting was held last week, at which it was
resolved to raise a rille corps. At Exmouth a meet-
ing was hal, which was presided over by Mr. N.
H. Peters, a county magistrate. It was resolved to
request the Lord• Lieutenant of the county (Earl

meeting for the purpose of strengthening the Exeter

extending from the South Dev,4l Railway station at
Torquay to Paignton. The Board of Trade having
signaled their approval of that portion of the line,
it :was opened yesterday for public traffic.
Although the length is only 3 miles and 13 chains,
there are twenty bridges, a viaduct, and a tunnel on
it. This extension will facilitate the transmission of
fish from Brighton to the metropolis, and enable the
fashionable visitors and residents of Torquay and
Newton to obtain the advantage of sea-bathing on
the sands of Paynton. The old station, five miles
from Newton, called Torquay, will be called Torre,
and a new station at Livermead, one mile further,
will be called Torquay. The contractors will proba-
bly complete within six months the works from
Paignton to Churston Perrou. On the remaining
section to Dartmouth there are some engineering
difficulties. The line is leased to the South Devon
Company, on terms which improve as the branch
advances.

AxswisTEß. lVddicrfl. —George Nichol., a
stone cutter engaged on the railway works, was
brought up chargea with cutting and wounding his
landlady, Susan Larcombe, of Axminster, in the
arm, with a knife, with intent to do her Beale bodily
injury, on the night of the 15th inst. The prisoner
in defence, stated that he went to bed on the night
in question but could not sleep. He believed that
Nirs. Lamm/lb° had "more power over him than she
ought to have," and, having heard divers mysterious
sounds and seen a blue light in the room, he jumped
out of bed. This brought Mrs. Larcombe to the
snot, when he cut her arm, so as to bring blood,
he believed, would shield him from any
supernatural agency with which she might be armed
against him. Committed for trial at the Assizes.

THE GALWAY I'AcKET STATION.—At a great public

furnished a detailed statement of a mission to London,
in the interests of Galway as a packet station. He
gave a glowing account of the support which lie reoeiveil

find the prevent Government animated by the same
friendly feelings. He read a letter which he had
received from the Treuury to the effect that the Go-

Tint PIRENIE CASES IN CORK.—Tho Cork conspi-
rators three in number—have, as was anticipated
Wednesday, followed in the footsteps of the 1 robe

Keogh, was entered on the record. The Attorney-
General then mode some obeervations of a similar
import to those delivered at the recent trials in Kerry,
in the course of which he offered a few words of advice
to the prisoners at the bar. Judge Keogh congratulated
, the Crown on the course it had token, and remarked
" It is a need striking fact that in this great country,
which contains within its bounds one-fifth of the whole
population of the Island, or about 1,200,000 souls, I,
.residing at this commission, have before we calendars
diselodng the fact that there are hut few cases of crime,
some of them of a very trifling chsracter. But, taking
them together, the high clam and the petty, there are
for trial but two 'onions as against every 100,000 of
the country. I take leave to think, and I think there
will be no difference in opinion from me, that in no
other country in Europe, in no other portion of the
Britieh dominions, can there be found is parallel to this
creditable exhibition, and I further think that this
creditable state of things furnishes additional grounds,
if any such were required, for holding that the course
pursued by the Attorney-General is exceedingly
)11ilicions, exceedingly prudent, and at the value One
most lenient. I suppose the prisoners may be discharged
on entering into recogniunces to appear when called
mon." The three prisoners then, in reply to the ('lore
of the Crown, Acknowledged themselves bound le the
sum id £2OO each to appear to receive judgment upon a
fortnight's notice given to Mr. M'Carthy Downing.
Me Attorney-General.—With reference to the persons
who are out on bail, I propose to respite their reeog-
nizanars, and not at present deemed their reappearance.

TUESDA Y.

At the morning sitting, after a considerable time had
been occupied with private business,
Sir J. TRICLAWNY moved that the House do resolve
itself into a Coinuiittee upon the Church Rates Aboli-
tion 11111.

Mr. NEWDEI: ATE moved, as an amendment, a resolu-
tion that the House would this day resolve itself into a
committee to Consider the propriety of establishing, in
us not church-rate thenceorth to be abolished, a charge
on all hereditainents in respect of the occupancy of
which church•rates have been paid within the last seven
years, to be levied with the county-rate at • uniform
rate of poundage, the occupier being in all cases en-
titled to deduct from his rent the amount of the charge
levied on his occupation to be paid to the Governers of
Queen Anne's Bounty, who shall be empowered to ad-
ter the same for the purposes of church-rates. He
did not propose, he said, to alter one word of the Bill;
he accepted the decision of the House that church-
rates shall be abolished, and be proposed this charge, at
the rate of IL in the pound, as a substitute that would
satisfy conscientious scruples, and obviate the objections
made to church-rates. . .

Mr. Doosox opposed the resolution. This tax, he
contended, had always beim voluntary. for the Church
never had the power to say, " You shall make a church.
rate :" it had only the power to enforce the repair of
churches by a process at present obsolete and ineffectual,
and the parishioners now made a rate only when they
pleased. TI e resolution would substitute for a rate
voluntarily made • fixed burden,
Upon a division, the amendment was negatived by
191 to 99, and the House went into committee upon the
Bill, but little progrese was made in the clauses when
the Chairman left the chair.
In the evening the House was counted out at 10
minutes past 0 o'clock.

his nephew that" when young he read much at night,
and that once, while at college, having been unable to
complete a particular line in a Latin poem he was com-

completed it in his sleep, wrote it out next morning,
and received many compliments on its classical and

11. CURIOUS STORY OF WATERLoo.—Everybody was
in expectation of a battle. It was known in England that
Napoleon had crossed into the Netherlands, and that
Wellington was ready to meet him. News waa plow of
coining, and people's hearts were sick with the expecta-
tion of the next mail. It chanced that, between the
services on that eventful Sunday, a clergyman in Kent
was walking in his garden. His gardener was an old
soldier who had fought in Spain. He said, "Theresa
fight going on, air, somewhere; for I remember when
we were in the PenitsuLs we always knew when •
cannonade was taking place, wherever it might be, by a
crumbling of fresh mould." He took a spade and full
down • single foot, and along the smooth surface left by
the steel an imperceptible treuabbng shook down little
pellets of the soil. '"That's it, sir,' said the gardener :
" they're at it sure enough." Before the next Sunday
came round, the news had spread " frau end to sad of
all the sea-girt isle;" joy-cannon had sounded from all
the castles in the laud : and it was known that the
victory of modern times had crowned the
Jtntiah Wkils's History of Prance.

ROYAL VISIT. —On Monday week H.R.H. the
Prince Consort, accouipained by the Princes Alfred
and Leopold, attended by their suite, arrived at
Portland in Her Nlajuity's yacht the Victoria and
Albert. Off Whiteness: the Royal !Arty steamed
through the division of the Channel Fleet which
were on their way down Channel. They were re-
ceived with a royal salute, and a similar demonstra-
tion greeted their arrival in Portland Roads, where
the crews of all the ships at anchor manned yards,
while the cannon "spike their loud mouthed wel-
come" in the customary number of guns. The
Royal visitors landed and inspected the Breakwater
works, attended by J. Coode, Esq., the chief engi-
neer, and the contractor, J. T. Leather, Esq. They
then ascended to the fortifications in course of erec-
tion on the Verne, accompanied by Major Whittling-
ban, /cc., &c. His Royal Highness and party left
about three p.m., the ships again manning yards and
firing the royal salute.

Although Captain Manning, Her klajesty's Lieu-
tenant, was prevented from accompanying the Royal
party over the works at Portland, ‘luring the recent
visit, in consequence of extreme lameness, the result
of a painful accident some time since, every atten-
tion was paid t. His Royal Highness the Prince
Consort, by hoisting the Royal standar' on Portland
Castle. On Tuesday the ltlth inst. Lord and l-nly
Mount Elgecombe and family, attended by Captain
Scott, C. 8., of her Majtwty's ship Blenheim, and
Captain Cumming, of the Emerald, honoured Captain
Manning with a visit. And on the 24th inst. Colonel
Sir Joshua debb, K.C.8., and Major Surat, Royal
Engineers, also honoured Captain Manning with a

A Pic&Arnors BIBLE Assomsrmx.—The ener-
getic act" :mil combined effort which have been
shown in supporting a Bible Association, are thus
described by the Bev. Carr J. Glyn, tector of Witch-
hauipton. in the Bible Society Monthly port..r for
the present month :—" The Bible Association in the
Isle of Portland, in this county (Dorset), had its
annual meeting yesterday. I attended for the
Society. and I must give some account of the inter-
tatting character of the Association. In ttiSti the free
money was £lO, but this year it will amount to .£lO.
It is chiefly worked above the hill, as it is called;
there are eighteen districts, twenty•four men and
women, of all parties or denominations, who have
set about the work as collectors, animated hi an
earnest love for the Bible itself. There are about
twenty•five to thirty young men, chiefly quarry-
men, who take the deepest interest in the Society.
Last night the Rev. D. Hogarth, the rector, was in
the chair. The Rev. Mr. Beard. a Wesleyan minister,
and Rev. Mr. Dobree, junior chaplain at the Convict
Prison, and the Rev. Mr. Jenour, minister of the
church below the hill, were present and spoke. The
room was crowded; and there is something pecu-
liarly encouraging in this Association, from so many
young people having first given themselves to
their Goa aiol Saviour, and striving to work for Him
in our blessed and noble cause."

BLANDFORD.

The Corporation of this borough have evidently
caught the free•trade spirit, and seem determined to
pursue a broad and liberal policy. The following
resolution was passed at a meeting of the Market
Committee held on Tuesday last the 26th ult., at the
Townhall :—" That the tolls for cattle and pigs
offered for sale, otherwise than by auction, on all
market days, except such as shall fall on fairqlays be
remitted, with the view of promoting the supply,
and ()tiering greater facilities for sale."

A time-piece has been offered to, and accepted by
the Mayor and Corporation of Illamiford, for the use
of the new Corn Exchange, by Mr. Wyatt, jeweller,
of this place. It is a very handsome .-day dial,
and as a work of art is well worthy of the giver, and
of its future distination. It will be of sufficient size,
'2O or 2-1 inches in diameter, to be seen plainly ta :
the farthest end of the building, and will be con-
tained in a carved mahogany frame, surmounted by
a wheat shear or some appropriate agricultural design.
It is gratifying to v,..e the efforts made by the
corporation to render the new Exchange as com-
ortable and suitable as possible thus seconded by
the liberality of tradesmen of the town. The
clock will be kept in repair and regulated by the
donor free of expense to the town.

violence on Wednesday week on the Mauchline Hill,
immediately above the village. The volume of water
was immense, and completely flooded the locality.
Some of the inhabitants, whose houses were near the
rivulet which traverses the village, only effected their
escape by cutting a passage through the thatched roofs.
The railway at Kinginclough cutting was flooded to a
depth of six feet. Two lives were lost in the neighbour-

A very elegant box was enclosed for his Royal Highness

Th. heist in Spain is greater than has been known for
many years; and it has not only done damage to the
