credit for as much sincerity as we firmly believe ani-
mates him, when we assert most solemnly that in the
application of this epithet we ISM MS aware that
we had been guilty of any act which as give him
the slightest ure. We ere unpainted with
several tractarian clergymen, and we know not one
who is Warned of the epitiist, or who would deny
the "soft impeachment" contained in the word. We
have always thought that they were rather proud of
the appellation. We had imagined that like many
nicknames, it had come to be considered a word of
honour by those to whom it was applied. We had
no more idea that Mr. DENISON would object to be
called a tractarian, than would Mr. CLose to be
calkel an "evangelical." A " tractarian" is one
who, professing to continue in the communion of the
church of England agrees in the main with the views
on church doctrine and discipline enunciated in
the well known publications known by the name
of the "Oxford Tracts." Does Mr. DENISON deny
that his own theory of church principles approxi-
mates more closely to these views than to those of
any other body of men in the church ? If so, we are
perfectly willing to give him the full benefit of his
denial, and to confess ourselves in the wrong. We
assure him that we make this confession in all
honesty of heart In the mean time we must be
allowed to make two important observations on this

WE looked to our Alexandrian letters as the moat
important part of the Indian mail just arrived, being
anxious to learn the circumstances of the new griev-
ance which caused the Porte to send its pe-
remptory remonstrance against the Suez railroad.
Eseryone is aware of the bickerings between the
Turkish and Egyptian governments, and no doubt
one of their effects is to give activity and hope to
malcontents in both countries. This being the state
at things, it was announced some time once, our
Alexandria correspondent writes, that a division of
Turkish troops. led by a Pasha, were to pass
through Egypt to the Hedjas. To Egyptian
government did not object to their transit;
but refused to permit them to peas, armed, through
the cities of Alexandria and Cairo. They were ac-
cordingly disarmed on entering the walls, and their
arms restored when they quitted them. Ames
l'esge gave them from two to three thousand
preach, of which they were in need. It is said to
be a rule in Egypt, that no soldier, not on actual
service in those towns, is allowed to carry army in
them. But the disarming of these troops has angered
the St et V,. government, which in retaliation has
despatched the peremptory message to Alexandria,
of which the journals have already given the con-
tents.
Thi. last cause of quarrel, which we hope was not
prposely created by designing men at Constanti-
nople, is greatly to be regretted, for Aunts I'ASTIA
was on the point of yieldiug, and is ready still to r
yield to that demand of the Porte, which insists on
his tusking permission to undertake the railroad.
The reluctance of the PASHA to make this demand
hitherto is represented to proceed from a fear lest
the precedent should be established, that previous to
making any financial outlay, or deciding any impor-
tant immure, he should lie bound to consult the
ministers fur the time being at Constantinople.
This would paralyse the power of the Pestle,
who, his tribute once paid, esteemed himself
free to expend his revenues in the way he
deemed heat suited to the country, and who,
though feeling himself bound to join in the general
policy adopted by the head of the Ottoman empire,
onegelers that the internal government of Egypt was
formally made over to .IEIIEMET Ale and his de-
seendantic
'flue only other cause of complaint and objection
brought forward by the Turkish cabinet against
the Pacha of li4iT PT in the matter of the railroad
is represented by our well-informed correspondent
in Alexandria as without foundation. The
Porte objects to the PASHA'S raining a loan
even for the most useful purpose, or mortgaging in
any way the public revenue of the country. Deere
is no need, however, for even raising the question,
the revenues of Egypt being sufficient to meet the
expenses of the line. Mr. STEPHENSON'S estimate
of the whole cost of the line, extending over one
hundred and thirty miles, does not exceed
iteeteeif. The engineering expones are calculated
at 1011. a mile. The ground 14 the Pestle's or
the Desert's. The cog of the material is esti-
mated at about 110,000 e One hundred miles of
rail have been already ordered in this country, and
six beemotives. 'rhe works will require three years
to complete. And an expenditure of 7110,0110/.
spread over three years is not above what the
regular revenues of Egypt can meet. In support
of this it is urged that the government of Egypt has
already expeuded upon public works more consider-
able sums than the railroad will cost. The bridge
fig the barrage of the Nile alone coat 750,000 e The
foitititatione of Alexandria cost fittneelfft, without
cooq g the price of the materials. Yet Egypt
ineurred no debt. Neither did it ask the SULTAN
permission to undertake these works.
It might be suspected that the revenues of Egypt,
heuever able to bear these expenses under MeiteMET
Ai I, who cartel little what !RIMS of money or what
months of labour he exacted from the fella/is, might
not he able to support them under the more
humane government of his grandson. And the
truth is, that, notwithetanding the great increase
in the resources of Egypt, of which the account
we published wane time; sinee of the customs
n mints stands as a proof, the revenue is still
ahem the same that it was calculated by Dr.
Kee mei.; that is to say, two millions and' a half
electing. This is owing to the great reduc-
tion made in the capitation tax —that which
weighed [waviest on the peusant—since the ores-
MIMI of the present Pnsite, a reduction estimated
at :130.000e sterling. (In the other hand, the
expenditure has been reduced in proportion. Theme
amongst us and amongst our neighbours the French,
who were great admirers of the armies of lilentsier
Ate, ought to be aware how dearly its efficiency
was purchased. A colonel in that army was paid
tell. a month ; no wonder French officers flocked to
it. Officers of the some rank now receive but
3ffe, and generally the pay of all Egyptian officers
and r,ul,loa'a have been reduced one-half. From
40,000 tlw army itself has been reduced to:10,000, and
will be further reduetel to 21000. It is, therefore,
by economy in expenditure more than even by re-
nu-siou of taxation that the Egyptian government
is enabled to meet the expense of the railroad with,
out recurring to a loan.
Although these circumstances hare been repre-
sented to the l'orte, the St LTAN'S ministers profess
themselves not satisfied with such explanation; and
they ask to hsvo the whole of Egyp-
tian finance laid bare for their examination,
in order for them, the Turks, to judge whe-
ther the revenues of Egypt can realty meet
the proposed expense, or whether • serious
debt may not perchance be incurred. To
such an act of tutelage and interference the Egyptian
government resolutely demurs, as degrading, sad
as opening the door to all kinds of objection sad
• chicane. And we must conks.% the authorities of
Constantinople strike us as pushing their pretensions
too for.
We shall not for the present discuss this differ-
ence. which would lead us into the whole question of
the .ranzimaut. There are undoubtedly pkeity of loop-
holes in the Matti-Sheriff and the Ttinsiniout, to en-
able the Porte to pick a 9inirrel with Egypt; and
there are sufficient difficulties in reconciling the suze-
rainty of one power and the independence of the
other, to afford a fair cause of resistance, if Ari.ts
PASHA choose to go that length. But what we have to
fear is, that ABS es,desiroes of getting out of difficulties,
should sacrifice the railroad to them. This would be
a great blow to our comniereial interests, and as err,
tatnly not required by the interests of Turkey. We
arc most ready to support all the just pretensions,
and every useful supremacy of the SULTAN ; bolt
in quarrels got up for quarrels' sake, and in pre-
tensions that are put forward, not from a seam
of justice, but in a spirit of vindictiveness
and retaliation, even Itescotte PASHA does not merit
oar approbation or support. There is now no real,
fair, or patent cause of difference between Egypt and
the Porte. We thought the l'eene wrong at first in
giving cause of umbrage at Constantinople ; but sew
ing the concessions he his consented to make, it
is now the turn of the Porte to concede, and be
reasonable.

imbject.
In the first place Mr. DENISON'S letter contains
nothing which can by any ingenuity be possibly
twisted into such a denial. He says:
- - • • -

If by a tractarian be meant one who finding his lot cast
in days when the church is actively assailed from without
and from within, labours u be humbly trusts " for con-
science sake," and for the love of him who died fur us all, to
present that church more and more before the world NI •
reality, as a living principle, active and exercising for the
good of the souls and bodies of mankind, upon certain
definite rules, not of man's making but of God's makiiig, If
this be what is meant by a tractarian, then I am a " traeta-
rian." But if anythinz more than this,'.or different from
this, is meant by a tractarian, then I am not a tractarian.
Now, it is a mere superfluity to observe, that if the
first hypothetical definition whicfi Mr.l./EsisoN givas
be the true one, there is no evangelical clergyman in
the kingdom who would not wnte tractarianism as
his banner, and that every pastoral charge made by
the great opponent of the Oxford divines, the Ands,
bishop of CANTERBURY, might be bound up with
the " Tracts for the Times." But we know very
well, and Mr. DEsisoN knows as well as any
of us, that between him and the evangelical
clergy there is a great gulf—that the only common
bond of union which he would recognise between
him and them, that of " orders," is one which they
treat as one very fur subordinate to many others
which he, on the contrary, treats with little
consideration. He knows that he has coincided with
the Bishop of Extrre:a in the latter's excommunica-
tion of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY. The direct
opposition between the men would lead us at once,
without ally other assistance, to come to the conchs-
-
non that there must be a wonderful diversity in the
principles which actuate them. The Archbishop
would repudiate tmctarianism as we have defined it.
Will Mr. DENtsoN do this? "To present the
church more and more before the world as A RE.A•
LITY, a living principle, active, and exereisingfor the
good of the souls and bodies of mankind, upon
certain definite rules, not of man's making,
bet at Goes making," is the object of
every party in the church. The great ques-
tion is, how is this to be done? On this point
treeterkuis and evangelicals diverge in as great a
degree as catholic, and protestants. " I shall stand
by my dear old mother the church," said Montrz vom
llurrix, Bishop of Eichstadt, president at a contro-
versial meeting, held at Regensburg, in the year
1340, between the catholic and protestant doctors-
-" Du so," replied the protestant theologians, "only
take care you stand by the riyht mother."
In the second place, if Mr. Itr.sisoN means to
deny being a tructarian, in the sense in which we
have defined the word, the sense in which we make
bold to say all the world understands it, he has
himself to thank fur the error of which we have been
guilty in applying the epithet to him. We are
willing to let the whole vindication of our fault, if
fault it be, rest upon the meaning to be attached to
the following passage front one of Mr. DENISON'S
latest publications—
I hold, as has always been held'in and by Tor. Curviest
Cavitimie, that without the imposition of the bishop's
kends, there is, under tho ordinary providence of God,
neither priest our sacraments; in other words, that there is
Nu Cinittn.

This is the brawl doctrine broached by: the trac-
Wilms. This is their distiortire doctrine. If We

remember rightly, their first tract began with an ex-
hortation to increased reverence for episcopal autho-
rity. Gradually the authors sketched out and de-
veloped a larger scheme, of which the fundamental
doctrine was the germ. The SAvtoutt had, accord-
ing to this, established when on earth a form of
government fur his church. This form was to be
held holy and unalterable. Bishops, priests, and dea-
cons were its chief features. A portion of the spirit de-
scended on the apostles, and this neither strayedon the
right side nor the left, but was confined to them,
and transmitted by them only to the bishops whom
they appointed, who were to be the sole channels for
the transmission of the same to succeeding bishops.
The bishops being the sole depositaries of the spirit
could alone communicate it. But there were certain
holy institutions in the church—the sacraments—
these could only bo celebrated by duly appointed
ministers. Duly appointed means episcopally ap-
pointed. No church was possible without due pro-
vision for the celebration of the sacraments—hence
no church no bishop. This is the simple tractarian
theory. Does the above extract convict Mr. DENI-
SON of having adopted it or not*? We leave our
readers to decide. In the meantime, giving Mr.
DENk•ON all credit fur sincerity, we must still declare
our conviction, that unless he is enabled to give a
different interpretation to many of his previous words
and actions, it will be difficult to persuade the world
that he is not a tractarian in the sense in which we,
at leant, interpret the word.

Ova readers will notice in our columns of to-day a
letter from the Rev. G. A. DulsoN. The writer
professes to be afraid that nothing that he can say
“ will find credence with the Express." Now,
we assure Mr. DENISON that so far is it from the
fact that his fear has any real foundation, that it is
only oar peofound belief in his thorough earnestness,
only our sincere conviction that he is one of those
men who believe all that they assert, and who strive
might and main to act upon their belief, that has
induced us to give him the prominence in our
columns of which he appears to complain. We think
that he is mischievous precisely because he is
sincere.

Mr. DENISON'S object in writing to us is, aa far as
we are able to judge, to deny the propriety of the
epithet " traetarian," which we applied to him in
a late article. Now we trust that he will give um

to contribute to hie relief from financial embarrass-
ments, although few of his relatives remain rich
enough to bed emit service in this way. In the
meantime, the Orleanists and legitimists arc making
great efforts to cone to an understanding on some
common candidature which shall be strictly neutral.
But the Messager will not consider as neutral one
who votes against the motion of :Creton, and the
Union will not consider neutral one who votes for
that proposition. The party of Berryer are willing
to come to an understanding with the Orleanists, on
repealing the laws of banishment against the
Bourbons, if the candidature of the Prince
de Joinville be withdrawn, but not else. The
former can only see in this candidature a re-
gentist intrigue, and they insist upon its being dis-
avowed before they will come to any understanding.
The Orleanists answer that in all events, if the
election of the President fall—as it is all but certain
to do—into the hands of the Assembly, the legiti-
mists will have it in their power to defeat the
regentist intrigue of which they complain, by re-
fusing to elect the Prince de Joinville, and therefore
have no rational ground for voting against the wo-
position-Creton. In the progress of these polemics,
it would seem as if the legitimists were becoming
more and more distrustful of General Changarnier,
whom they suspect of playing under his neutral
mask, the game of the regency.
The Bulletin de Puns represents as unfounded
and absurd the continually repeated rumours of a
disagreement in views between the President and
the cabinet. The same paper speaks of a despatch
of one of the ambassadors of the great powers to his
government wherein it is seriously stated that the
Assembly will be violently dissolved if revision
should not be carried by the next vote, and protests
against such misrepresentations of the intentions of
the government.
The Committee of Permanence held a sitting to-
day, under the presidency of M. Daru, which only
lasted half an hour, and presented no interest what-
ever. Twenty-four members were present. No
speech was made, nor any motion appeared on the
order of the day. The committee adjourned to the
16th instant.

It appears that an offer has been made to Prince
de Joinville to bring him forward as a candidate for
the representation of the Northern department, by
the resignation of the present member, but the
Prince has written to decline this proposal.
It will be remembered that some time before the

recess of the National Assembly a law was passed
authorising the augmentation of the gendarmerie.
The Moniker de l'Ar»ole announces that limti of the
231 brigades authorised by the new law are already
completely organised.
At the opening of a long article on the situation,
Dr. Vcron assumes that M. Thiers is about to go to
Claremont, and that on the return of the Assembly
he will make a grand speech on the motion of M.
Creton, distinctly proposing the candidature of the
Prince de Joinville.
TheSentop/wre of Marseilles says of Kossuth mid
his companions: •

In consequence of applications to the local authorities by
the consul of the United, States, Kossuth and his companions
obtained permission to disembark. On the Tith and tlith
these noble exiles were seen to pass through our streets.
They lodged at the Hotel des Ambassaileurs,and thought they
would have been permitted to cross France on their way to
England, when a telegraphic despatch arrived, it is said, on
the 26th, which put an end to this hope. Kossuth quitted
the hotel of the ►tue Beauvau at two, to return on board the
Mississippi. The illustrious refugee was followedby groups
which accompanied him with cries of " Vice Kossuth ! Vise
la Ilongrie ! Vice la Republique !" lie appeared much moved
with this reception. The police, which did not fail to arrive,
soon ii spersed this crowd, which then hurried towards the
new port, where the American frigate was anchored.
When Kossuth had embarked, new cheers were given.
The Mississippi would have sailed immediately, but was de-
tained by tbs bad weather. She will weigh anchor as soon
as the state of the sea permits.

VIENNA, Sara% 28.
The Military Gazette announces that the appoint-
ment of Prince Windischgratz has not taken place.
The apparent contradiction between this and a former
statement requires explanation. The Military Gazette
is quite correct in stating that the appointment has
not taken place; for, though the government may
appoint an individual to a high post, it dues not fol-
low that he must accept the appointment. On the
night previous to the Emperors' departure for Italy,
a cabinet council was held, which lasted until a late
hour, and after which the whole of the ministry
supped with the Emperor. At this sitting the
appointments of Archduke Albrecht as Governor-Gene-
ral of Hungary, and of Prince Windisehgratz of Bohe-
mia, were decided on, and at the imperial supper table
the former was announced to the Archduke by the
Emperor himself, in a toast to the health of the new
goventor. Archduke Albrecht had no choice but to
accept the office, which I have no doubt he did
very willingly. Prince Windischgnitz, however,
is not a member of the royal family, and not
bound therefore to accept unconditionally any post
which may be offered to him. That the appointment
has been drawn out and signed is correct, but the
ministry committed a great oversight in not first in-
quiring of Prince Windischgnitz whether he would
accept it. lie is unwilling to do so upon the terms
on which it is offered. He desires to be as imme-

The New York and Havre Steam Navigation Com-
pany's steamer Franklin, Captain James A. Wotton,
arrived at Southampton yesterday, as announced by
electric telegraph, and landed her mails under the
charge of Win. W. Hincken. Her dates are, New
York September 20. Her cargo comprises 600,000
dollars specie for Havre and 200,000 dols. for Lon-
don. She brings news of a fire at Sacramento, by
which property to the amount of 30,000 dols. was
destroyed.
Our correspondent writes as follows :
NEW YORK, SEPT. 20.
The Franklin, which leaves this port to-day, car-
ries out but a moderate amouut of specie in com-
parison with that she was expected to take. The
stringent measures of our banks have brought many
people to their senses, at least those who would
continuo to import goods from abroad as long as they
can borrow money to do so. For a time business
will have to be done on its own capital. We know
that the orders gone out the last two months have
been quite small. The pressure here is enormous,
and failures are constantly taking place.
As a temporary relief, however, we have the news
of the arrival of two of our Chagres steamers
(though in distress) at the southern ports of Norfolk
and Savannah. Overtaken by a severe gale, the
Illinois and Brother Jonathan were obliged to seek
these friendly harbours. They havo brought over
two millions of gold dust, which will be here in the
course of a couple of days. The news from Cali-
fornia is at least a week later than that previously
communicated by me, but our accounts of these ar-
rivals are telegraphic and quite meagre.
Tho weather in California had been extremely
favourable for milling operations, and gold was being
produced in great abundance.
The two great local events of the hour are the
annual fair at Rochester, in this state, and the cele-
bration of the opening of the lines of railways con-
necting Boston with the Canadas. The Canadians
have come in large force to both these celebrations.
Lord Elgin and suite arrived at Boston the day before
ycsterday,where he met the President and apart of his
cabinet. The meeting between the two principal
personages was without ceremony, and of the most
cordial character. The following is a report of some
of the proceedings most interesting probably to your
readers:
Lord Elgin arrived at the depot of the Western
Road at 5 o'clock. The city government, the cadets
known as the " governor's guards," and a large crowd
of citizens were gathered to receive him. Lord
Elgin saluted all who approached him by a hearty
shake of the hand, and was cheered most enthusias-
tically by the assemblage.
Lord Elgin was accompanied by Lord Mark
Kerr, Major Cotton, his aides, and his brother, Colonel
Bruce. _ _ _ _

ling of Preemie continues to diriplay, but at all
emits It has become a conviction in high quarters
Ihist the new system must be dropped as a failure,
and the old one re-introduced. It is not improbable
that many, and even great changes will be made in
the details of the old system, but the federative
ndnciple will be re-acknowledged and re-installed.
In Hungary, for example, a Hungarian Landtag or
Diet will most probably be established, of course with
very restricted privileges. The governor-general, in
the of Archduke Albrecht, assisted by.a com-
saiseimnsr possessing some experience of cavil we
vernmsat wilt be the direct medium between the
saw& and this portion of his territories ; the
Meant ministers will subside into directors of
ents ; and the imperial council, " the Reichs-
farm' which is to be established, will be equally the
creatures of the emperor's will ; his wishes will be
their law.
One would naturally infer, from tho prospect of
such an important change, and from the pertinacity
and energy with which the old system has been
combated, that the advocates and ministers of cen-
tralisation would cede their posts to those of fede-
ralisation. Nothing more junlikely. Dr. Bach, for
instance, is supple and pliant, and capable of digest-
ing any amount of political dirt. He will assist with
readiness in carrying out the destruction of his once
favourite schemes. One construction that must ine-
vitably bo put upon this change, no matter how
gradually it may be introduced, is that the govern-
ment has been most glaringly defeated, and is com-
pelled to acknowledge in the most effective manner
the righteousness of the cause for which the Hun-

There is one other circumstance connected with the
article in the Lloyd which must not be slighted. It
is the fact that it appears in that journal, and is a
favourable notice of a prospective change in a system
of which the Lloyd has been the most determined,
untiring advocate. In no journal has the system of
centralization received more consistent and thorough
support than in the Lloyd, even unto the most un-
sparing and vicious personal attacks upon the advo-
cates of federalisation. The sudden veering of such
a journal is remarkable, and is in itself a proof et
the truth of the information which it publishes.
Soothed as Prince Metternich must be by the
course of events which permits him to return to the
metropolis and the court in which he has spent so
many years of ministerial labour, the wounds in-
flicted on his vanity by his compulsory flight, and
the total change of his system of government, must
receive an additional and highly grateful balm from
the total failure of his successors and their compul-
sory return to his policy. Prince Schwarzenberg had
a long interview with the aged ex-minister yesterday.
It is rumoured that the levy of recruits in the en-

The ambassador of 'lease Cassel has officially noti-

An iinpenal decree, published in the Vienna Ga-
ulle, announces a long-delayed act of justice on the
part of the Finance Minister. During the French
invasion, in the years 1801, 5,6, and 9, the credit of
the Austrian government was at an end, and its
finances exhausted, while its wants were greater than
ever. In its need, an appeal was made to the pro-1
vincial estates in Upper and Lower Austria and
Styria, and subsequently extended to every province
in the empire, exhorting them to furnish the govern-
ment with funds, raising them by loan or other-1
wise. A patriotic feeling pervaded the assembled
notables in the three duchies just named ; they raised
a sum of twenty millions among themselves, expect-
ing that the government would eventually acknow-
ledge the debt, and pay them interest at the rate of
5 per cent. The other provinces made a regular bar-
gain with the government, which has been faithfully
fulfilled; but, as no bargain had been entered into
with Lower and Upper Austria and Styria, the go-
vernment, after the war, refused to admit the debt,
and has paid neither interest nor principal. The loss
to many of the leading families in the three pro-
vinces has been enormous, and several have been ut-
terly ruined by this flagrant breach of good faith
and hencsty. During the whole period which has
since elapsed the efforts of the sufferers by this dis-
honesty to procure redress have been in vain. No
former Finance Minister ventured to adjust the un-
pleasant claims, and the Reichstag of ItliS was dis-
solved before the financial question had reached a
point at which such details could be submitted to it,
or it could think of increasing the national debt.
Baron Krauss would, perhaps, not have thought
the present a fitting moment for attempting an ar-
rangement, had he succeeded in getting the eighty-
five millions he asked for in his new loan. Finding
all his efforts baffled ho has recourse to an expe-
dient, which, while it does tardy justice to a class of
creditors, will materially swell the amount of sub-
scriptions to his loan. He has, by this decree, of:
fered to the possessors of what are called Upper
and Lower Austrian and Styrian "domestic obliga-
tions," to accept them as subscriptions to the
new loan at their market value, provided the holders
will consent to subscribe an equal amount. To ex-
plain, the finance minister accepts "domestic obliga-
tions" to the amount of 1,000 florins at their market
value-50 per cent. discount—as a subscription of
500 florins, the holder adding a real subscription of
the same amount. There are several classes of these
' " domestic obligations," some purporting to bear 5,
others 3, 21, and 2 per cent. interest. tor the latter
the arrangement is the same in proportion. As the
holders of such obligations naturally deem it a great
boon that their debt is at last acknowledged, and as
they are for the most part men of money or landed
property, there is every probability of the finance
minister's finding the subscriptions to the loan in-
creased by twenty millions. It is a just measure, and
a financial dodge.

The mayor welcomed him ns follows :
Your Excellency,—ln the name of any fellow citizens, I ,
welcome you to the metropolis of New England. We re-
cognise you not only as the ruler of extensive and im-
portant provinces, but as the principal representative on
this continent of the venerated land of our ancestors. It
is told of Saiuoset, the Indian chief, that his first saluta-
tion to the pilgrims at Plymouth was, " Welcome, wel-
come, Englishmen." Such was the ;meting of the old
warrior to those who were to invade the hunting grounds
and extinguish the council fires of his race. With a better
augury for the future, it becomes me, on this occasion, to
repeat that salutation, and say—lVelcorne, Englishmen,
anal their fellow subjects, who come to us under circum-
stances so auspicious fur our own and their prosperity.—
There is a special interest connected with your Lacellen-
, cy's visit at this time, gracing, as it does with your pre-
sence, the establishment of a social and commercial alliance
between this city and the C.marlas. Lines of intercom-
munication have been opened, by which the products of
your provinces can find speedy and convenient transit to
the sea. The railways which unito us are works more
truly admirable than the wondrous avenues which radi-
ated from Imperial Rome—avenues for facilitating the
march of invading armies, or returning chariots laden
with the spoils of desolated countries. Our own iron
pathways, the result of scientific labour and skill—skill
unequalled by ancient times—arc devoted to far different
objects. They unite, in friendly relations, the inhabitants
of widely separated regions, minister to their mutual wants,
diffuse abroad the means of knowledge, and scatter plenty
through a smiling laud. Our festival may be considered in
some. respects, as the celebration of a conjugal union be-
tween Canada and the Oscan. We can dispense with the
golden ring which was used in the espousals of Venice with
the waters of the Adriatic, for this union is effected by
bands of iron, which at once attest its perpetuity and
strength. My local, the connexion which, hereafter, is to
subsist Iniween the people whom you govern, and the At-
lantic States, is, perhaps, in no small degree, a pledge and
a unit-mace of perpetual amity between the British anal
Lierican nations. The memory of their fratricidal con-
flicts is fading away, and the history
.thereof, I trust, is
completed for ever. The record of their generous rivalry
fins pre-eminence in the arts of peace, is now opening, anal
is destined to exhibit the brightest pages in the annals of
their • 'lemon race. Such, lam confident, are the antici-
pations and hopes of the people for whom I speak, anal they
enhance the pleasure with which they salute you, as their
welcome and honoured guest.
Lord Elgin replied as follows :
Mr. Mayor and gentleman,—l am quite overcome by this
kind and cordial reception. But, gentlemen, I have been
travelling all day, anal any throat is so full of dust that you
will excuse me it I do not attempt to follow the mayor in
his most eloquent address: but there is one thing he has
said which I cannot allow to pa. unnoticed. Ile has sug-
gested that we should consider this celebration the conjugal
union of the Canaalas with the Ocean. Whatever may be
my object in cooling to Boston, I assure you, sir, that I do
not come to forbid the banns. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.)
I appreciate must highly the sentiments of personal regard
which you have so kindly expressed towards me, and still
more highly do I appreciate the assurances you luso given
me of your respect and consideration for my sovereign and
my country, and for that great rising Canadian people upon
whose prosperity anal welfare my hopes, and my feelings,
and my wishes arc all centered. Gentlemen, I came here
upon the hospitable invitation of the city of Boston ; but
prompted also by the desire to show—by this act of mine,
rather than by mere words, because I know that this mode
of expression is more emphatic, and more intelligible withal
—to show by this act, my conviction that it becomes us
Americans an i Britons—l put the Americans first—(hear,
hear)—Americans and Britons, descended as we are from
the same stock, inheritors of the same traditions, anal, un-
less I greatly misconceive the signs of the times, with duties
and responsibilities, as respects one another, nut widely dis-
similar, to be ready, at all times and at all places, and (spe-
cially at this time and upon this soil of North America, to
cultivate towards each other feelings of brotherly love anal
mutual friendship. These arc my sentiments; and I there-
fore accept your proffered kindness. (Cheers.)
At 5 o'clock the President held a levee at the Re-
vere House, when several hundred of our citizens and
strangers were presented to him. SubsequBntly he
visited the ladies' parlor, where numbers of the fair
sex paid their respects.
The Mayor and council of Montreal and Lord El-
gin, of Canada, were also present.
In the evening, immediately. after Lord Elgin had
dined, he called upon the President, in his own room,
and was introduced by Mr. Crampton, the British
Charg6 d'Affaires. All formalities were dispensed
with. The meeting was meet cordial and unaffected.
Lord Elgin simply expressed his pleasure at meet-
ing the President of this great Republic. The Presi-
dent in reply said he was most happy to welcome
his lordship on American soil, and hoped he would
find his visit both interesting and agreeable.
The President then introduced him to Secretaries
Stuart and Conrad, and the parties, after a brief but
free and sociable conversation, separated.
Lord Mark Kerr and Hon. Mr. Waldegrave were
presented to the President at this interview.
The closing scenes of the great railroad jubilee are
thus described in a letter published in the New York
herald:

BOSTON, SIFT. 19.
The last of the Three Days " is drawing to a close, and
in a few brief hours the Grand Railway Jubilee " will be
matter of history.
Never did a finer morning dawn than that which ushered
in the 19th of September, 1851, in Boston. The sun shone
brilliantly, the air was tranquil, and the temperature all
that could be desired. In fact, as I heard a gentleman from
Connecticut say, if the weather had been made to order it
could not be better for the purpose of procession.
At an early hour in the day it was rumoured that Mr.
Fillmore was indisposed, and would not be able to take part
in the procession. The report was not credited, and cons.
quently a great many people went to the Revere House to
ascertain for themselves. The result was that the report
was true. Mr. Fillmore's absence created great disappoint-
ment ; bat then was no help for it.
As early as six o'clock a great stir was perceptible
throughout the city, especially 111 State and other streets
through which the procession would pass. Companies of
soldiers were drawn up here and there, strains of music
were heard in different quarters, and people were moving
towards the Common in great numbers. Soon the scene
became more lively, and by seven various trade associations,
with their emblems, mottoes, &c., were seen proceeding to
their various places of rendesvous. By eight o'clock thou-
ands of people were on the Common, great stir was visible
inall the streets, and by nine one would have supposed
that the whole of New England and part of New York were
emptied into the city of Boston. Later in the day, it would
scent as if the people had reserved all their strefigh and re-
gard for to-day, and determined that the last of the Jubilee
should be the best and most imposing. Business was 1.115-
pended—the banks, the custom-house, the post-office, and
almost all the stores and shops were closed. The Common,
on account of the tent and the preparations that were being

made for the great dinner, was one of the principal scene'
of attraction, and was frequented by thousand. during the
day. Five or six tents were erected hero and thererin that
promenade, under which was iced water in the greatest
abundance, which several men were giving to the thirsty
multitude, free gratis for nothing, nor would they receive
anything in return if offered to them. This excellent at,
rangement was made by the Common Council, at the ex-
pense of the city. There wore banners hung on each tent,
on which were printed temperance sentiments of the
real cold water order. The following two will serve as a
sample :
The love at self shou'd teach US to refuse
The ruby wine, mad clear cold water choose.
This is the drink which nature to Q 4 brings.
Then quaff those streams, which Gad alone provider,
And sends in torrents from the mountain sides,
To slake our Gann, our parched llpa to cool,
Refrain our spirits, and rejoice the said.
Again :
Odd water will keep
Your head cool,
Your heart warm,
Your name good,
Your life lung.
I mentioned in yesterday's letter that the public build-
ings and many of the private dwellings were tistefully de-
corated. But the appearance of the city at large yester-
day, in that respect, was nothing to what it is to-day. I
_ apkerAd,expensive, and tasteful deco.-

never saw such spleno...,
tions in my life, and I doubt very much if they were ever
equalled on any occasion in the United States. Were
to give a description of them, I would fill the Herald.
and leave no room for anything else. I will give
your readers, however, an illustration. I will take Dover
street, which was the most beautifully decorated in the
city. Just imagine a street about an eighth of a mile, com-
posed entirely of private houses, each decorated " from tin,
ret to foundation stone" with flags, banners, garlands.
wreaths, and flowers, all connecting with each other
throughout the whole length of the street, showing that the
inhabitants generally acted in concert, so as to preserve an
uniform appearance throughout the street.
Not satisfied with providing these decorations, there were
banners on each house bearing the name of it President of
the United States in gold letters, thus:—" Washington,'
" Adams ;" " Jefferson," " Madison," " Monroe," " J. Q.
Adams," and on other houses were the names, in the some
style, of the governors of the state of Massachussetts.
At the residence of Thomas Blanchard was a medallion
likeness of President Fillmore. which was cut by the wen-
pant of the house. Suspended across the street at this point
was a banner bearing the following inscription The
great peace-maker—steam-nower oue of the powers that
be." Ou the reverse :—" Thomas Blanchard built the first
steam-carriage in 182.5.--Petition for railroad, PUG." Over
this was a picture of an Indian, and at each side was the
American flag.
Another banner contained the following:—" Our guests
from British soil—we bid them welcome to Yankee land."
On the left was " Lafayette," and on the right, " Van
Buren," " Harrison," " Tyler." Another banner was
inscribed:—" Liverpool, Halifax, Boston." In another
part were the British and American flags, with a homier
containing the arms of England and the United States.
Again, there was a picture representing Lord Elgin's intro-
duction to Mr. Fillmore, in which the likenesses were very
well carried out, with the inscription :

Sop. let us haste these bonds to knit,
And in the work be handy:
Th it we may bloal "Gal Sloe the Queen"
With "Yankee Doodle Dandy."
As might have been expected, this poetry created a good
deal of laughter and amusement. Another banner con-
tained the name of the Mnyor of Boston. Across the street
at this point was a Has with this inscription:—" \Velcomo
our tcuests from the British provinces, and our sister states."
Again Montreal, Boston, and llalitlas," with threo
links of a chain. To the left of this was a banner, bearing
the inscription •—" Commerce." Another Hag represented
a meeting at Washington and Lafayette iu heaven. Ano-
ther inscription was :—" Bless the power th it united and
has preserved us a nation." Another, a picture of Boston
an it was when it was discovered. A full length painting of
Daniel WebtriT.
Several old English banners were suspended from one of
the houses.
As it generally happens in such cases, this procession did
not commence moving at the time appointed, notwithstand-
Mg that every precaution was taken to guard against delay.
But the public were not disposed to grumble or final fault.
They set the day apart fur pleasure, and were prood of tho
handsome appearance of their city. At length it started,
presenting the appearance of a gigantic tortuous sea ser-
pent, of various hues and colours, with huge bumps on Its
back. . . . . _

After the military portion of the procession had passed
the trade societies followed. I send you some of the
mottoes, &c.:—The hatters :—" We crown the heads ofthe
sovereign people." The carpenters had at their front turn-
ing machines, &c. Next coins tho express waggons, filled
with boxes and bales The riggers had at their head .1 flag
representing a ship, with the inscription : "'This was borne
in the presence of Washington in 1, 59." Then followed a
miniature ship, capable of holding a dozen persons, !Kaua-
i fully constructed, and rigged in full. The boiler-maker
had a first-class locomotive, on wheels, at their head. It
looked a: much out of its clement as possible, but its appro-
priateness was generally remarked.
The Museum hail in the processi..n the lizure of an ele-
phant, with two men dressed in Oriental costume seated
on it.

Cars, with school children at their desks—Motto, " Freo
Schools the hope of a free people." Printing press in a

The silversmiths and jeweller, were nest in order pre-
ceded by a magnificent display of silverware, NVOI th 15,000
dols., borne by some negroes stressed in Eastern costume.
Twenty-five special policemen were deputed to guard this
display. 'flee silver was followed by a silversinith'a shop
on wheels, in which workmen were engaged in manufactur-
ing the precious metal into articles of Use and ornament.
The rear was brought up by a leviathan gold pen, with the
motto, " The pen is mightier than the sword."
The butchers of Faucuil Hall Market paraded an im-
mense waggou filled with fish, flesh, and fowl, wholesale
and retail, in great quantities.
The intelligence Lattice had a waggon containing twenty-
four girls. Outside were placards—. Wet nunses,". "Ser-
vants," tt Girls wanted."
The bookbinders made a very handsome display. Among
them was Colonel Luring, well known in all New Euglaad
as one of the oldest and must respectable citizens.
The agricultural instrument makers turned out in good
force, and mule a very respectable appearance. They had
ploughs, and harrows, and reaping machines, and every
other implement connected with husbandry.
The pianoforte makers had far their motto, " There is
sure no passion of the human soul but finds its loud in
music."
Then cam a large omnibus, with the motto, " The way
to the railroad—room for one more."
The carinen's motto was, " By commerce we live."
When the procession had reached the corner of Emerald
and Dover-streets, there was a stop for a few minutes
before a rostrum that had been erected fur the purpose. On
this rostrum were thirty-one young girls, all dressed in
white, with tri-coloured sashes, each representing a Stato
of the American confederacy, and two representing the God-
dew of Liberty Laud Queen Victoria. As soon as the pro-
cession halted, the young lady representing Nlassachussetts,
Miss Eug:nia A. Paxton, approached Lord Elgin, the Go-
vernor of Canada, and addressed him as follows :—"
Mas-
sachussetta welcomes, with cordial salutations, to the hospi-
talities of her metropolis, the distinguished Chief Magistrate
of her British Majenty's Provinces la America."
Miss Julia K. Cary, representing Queen Victoria, dressed
in green, trimmed with ermine, and wearing a crown, pre-
sented a bouquet to the Secretary of the Navy for the Presi-
dent. She made a brief address on the occasion, and both
Mr. Stuart and Lord Elgin made brief responses.
The procession was in the highest degree attractive, and
the general appearance of the troops, cavalry. and infantry,
was much admired. There wee considerable difference of

opinion among the spectators as to what was the most
attractive features of the procession. The ladies insisted
that the coaches containing Mr. Stuart, Secretary of the
Navy (who, they unanimously agreed, was a very fine
looking man), and Lord Elgin, were entitled to the palm;
while the gentlemen, on the other hand, were disposed to
think that the various carriages and vehicles containing
ladies, dressed in snowy white, wearing garlands on their
heads, and possessing a peculiar beauty and grace, not to Do
found out of New England, were decidedly the must attrac-
tive of the whole.

After the procession dinner was served up under an im-
mense tent on the common. About four thousand persona
were present, including President Ifilimore. On the re-
moval of the cloth,
Mayor Bigelow arose, and said—" On account of the de-
parture of the train it ecoines necessary for the President
of the United States to leave us early ; and I suppose that
you as well as myself would be URA illing that that mis-
fortune should befall this assemblage until wo have at least
proffered him our respects, in the usual manner. (Ap.
please.) I therefore interrupt you, thas early in the feast,
to give you,as a sentiment, ' The health of the President of
the United States.'" . .

The above sentiment was received by three times three
hearty cheers, sifter which it was r,polided to by Mr.
Fillmore, who said :—" Mr. Mayor and fellow-citizens—la
acknowledging the compliment which yeti have paid to the
high office which it is my fortune to hold, I rise rather for
the purpose of excusing myself than of making a speech.
You have been pleased to drink my health. I would it
were as perfect on the occasion as it usually is ; but, unfor-
' tunately, a slight indisposition within the last twenty-four
hours has deprived me of the great pleasure which I
should have enjoyed this day in participating in your exer-
cises. I sin unable to partake of the costly vianas under
which your miles of tables groan ; I am scarcely able to
enjoy the feast of reason and the Bow of soul,' ands
more than all this, I am compelled by imperious circum-
stances to leave you thus early in this banquet, because
I feel that my public duties require that I should be at
Washington with the utmost possible despatch. I have
stolen from the hours that were perhaps duo to the na-
tion, a brief space to meet my fellow-citizens in the city of
B4ston. (Applause.) I meet you as citizens of Boston.
Oa this festive occasion we know no party distinction.
(Applause.) Nay, more: we scarcely know a national dis-
tinction. (Great applause and cheers.) There are gathered
around this festive board the American and the Britons
living under different laws, but, thank God, two of the
freest nations under the sun. (Cheering.) The little
asperity that was engendered by the revolution which sepa-
rated us from our mother country, I am happy to say, free
lung since disappeared, and we meet like brethren of the
same family, speaking the same language, and enjoying the
same religion. Are we not one? (Applause.) Fellow-

lion. A. 11. H. Stuart, Secretary of the Interior, having
been called upon, said—" Gentlemen, I have no time to
respond to your flattering call for a speech. The Presi-
dent has told you that the hour for our departure has
come. I can only speak with a frankness of a true Vir-
ginian, and say, Gud bless New England—God bless you
all." (Applause.)
Hon. Mr. Conrail, Secretary °Mar, having been called
for, replied : Gentlemen—l am summoned to depart, other-
wise I should take great pleasure in addressing a few
remarks to you, on this, one of the most agreeable, and I
may ray one of the happiest moments of my life. Igo away
from Boston with the frank declaration—although I said a
few days ago that I was not a stranger upon your soil—with
the frank declaration that t have Lever before known what
Boston was. (Applause.) I have never known the hearti-
ness, the cordiality, the warmth of the true New England
character, and it satisfies air that it has not degenerated
from the character of the forefathers of the country. I
regret exceedingly that I am compelled to take this sincere-
saimious and abrupt departure, and to interrupt the flow of
your festivities by so sudden a retreat. But you know the
necessity. The President awaits me, and I bid you fare-
will-1 hope a short farewell, for I hope it will not be long
before I shall have au opportunity to visit Beaton, and to
pay my respects to her citizens, and especially to public
friends whom I have known before, but whose acquaintance
1 have now formed in their private capacity, and at their
homes. I bid you tares ell, and wish to all of you all pos-
sible prosperity and happiness. (Applause.)
Secretaries Stuart and Conrad having taken leave of Lord
Mayor Bigelow and others, here left the pavilion.
Speeches were aeerwards made by Lord Elgin, Governor
Boatwell, Hon. Edward Everett, lion. Itobert C. Winthrop,
110 n. Joseph Howe, of New Brunswick, Hon. Mr. Mucks,
of Canada, and others.
The festivities clued about seven o'clock. A committee
accompanied the President to Fall River.
By the last arrival from England I perceive the
cession of Cuba to the United States is discussed in
some' of the London papers. That an indirect effort
to purchase this island was made during the admi-
nistration of Mr. Polk, I never doubted, but it was
so managed, as to remain a secret. And it is Very
well to understand that while in our government
nearly all our diplomacy is made known to the
people through the call of Congress, yet there are
many things which never leak out, particularly those
uncuccessful schemes of candidates for the presidency,
which would do them no credit in the canvass. Some
of the most amusing anecdotes which are related is
the privacy of our best and most influential eircksN
have fur their point these very attempts. I should
not be at all surprised if there was now a secret
movement to obtain Cuba.
It was reported yesterday that a new expedition
was organising at New Orleans against Cuba, but
there can be no truth in it whatever. The Pampero
has been captured in St. Julia's Meer by the United
States' Marshal and a detachment of United States'
troops. The " rowdies " here think the creoles too
cowardly to become freemen. That idea alone will
prevent any further efforts in their cause.
The lama's?' jaspers have of late spoken somewhat
of a line of steamers about to ply between Genoa and
New York. The Italian papers arc full of it. Our
own have also begun to discuss the subject. Your
readers shall have the only reliable intelligence on
the subject : I vouch fur every word of it. Living-
ston, \Veils, and Co., the only large and truly Ame-
rican house this day in Europe, with a large and
useful branch in Paris, conducted by a partner, Mr.
Babbitt, have for six montlis 'raid conducted a nego-
tiation with the government and merchants of Sar-
dinia for the purpose of establishing a steam com-
munication between New York and Genoa. Two
partners of that house have finally obtained
a liberal grant from the Sardinian government in aid
of the scheme, and aSSUPOIIeetI that as much stock
will be subscribed by the nobility and merchants of
!Sardinia, and by the capitalists of Switzerland as
may be required, in addition to the sum already sub-
scribed in New York. There is not a doubt, there-
fore, that two fast and splendid steamers will be im-
mediately built, and probably a provisional steamer
placed on the line during the interim of their con-
stntytion. These steamers will touch at no French
port. but at one Spanish port, at Gibraltar and
Madeira. Great enthusiasm prevails in Italy on the
subject. The lino will be managed at New York, on
American principle ,and will be one of the most pro-

We have advices front Kingston, Jamaica, to the
11th September. The late accounts from the north
side represent the small-pax as gaining ground in
the parish of Trelawny. There have been a few
Wry deaths front choler► at Savana.la-Mar, but it is
certain that the disease has ceased to exist u an
epidemic throughout the island. Every one was
looking anxiously for news from Cuba.

The signal post at the telegraph station was blown
over in one of the late storms. It had not yet been
replaced.
The Chilien government advertises for a lean of
300,000 dole., according to the late law, for the com-
pletion of the public stores. No offers will be re-
Iceived at a higher rate of interest than 8 per cent.
The amount is to be divided into GOO sums of 5,000
dole. each. Proposals were to be received until the
13th of August. The amount of the loan to stand as
a national debt—the buildings,. ground, and income
of the public stores to be especially pledged in pay-
ment. The interest is to be paid quarterly, and the
debt itself between 1857 and 1860, one fourth part

The following particulars of the Presidential elec-
tion we make up from the Neighbor : "In Concep-
tion the vote was in favour of General Cruz, by an
overwhelming majority ; 2,011 in his favour, and
only 142 for Montt. This, however, will not coun-
teract the majorities in Montt's favour in the other
parts."
Reciprocity has been established with Austria,
Belgium, Brazil, Bremen, Sardinia, Denmark, United
States, France. Great Britain, Hamburg, Oldenburg,
Prussia, and the Sandwich Islands.
It was stated that Peru had agreed upon a treaty
with Chili. Now, however, it seems to be under-
stood that Peru has only manifested a greater readi-
ness to enter into terms of treaty. It is reported that
Peru has entered into a close alliance with Brazil
against ltosas. It is to be noticed how little unity
prevails between the South American States, as if
isolation promoted best their interest.
Reciprocity has been established in Chilian ports
for Swedish and Norwegian vessels.
The rails arc laid on the Copiapo railroad a dis-
tance of twenty-six miles. On the 29th of July, the
first locomotive engine ran through from Caldera to
the valley, and has since been transporting timber
and iron for the extension of the track. The track
is spoken of as excellent. Some difficulty had oc-
curred from the water used for the engines, which it
is thought can be remedied.
