TO THE EDITOR OP TOM EXPBEIRS.

SlR,—The hurricane at St. Thomas happened
on the 29th nit., and news of it left St. Thomas on the
let inst. The Rhone was lying at Peter Island, eight
miles from St. Thomas. One telegram in speaking of the
saved Rhone gays something about 12 passengers. If they
were saved from the ship how could this be, unless some of
the crew were moved with them? Another telegram speaks
of Woolley and the crew as lost, but not a word about
passenger,. It is probable, I think, that the majority of
the passenger, were not on board the Rhone. The tele-
gram to the Royal Mail Company mune (rem their agent at
St Thomas, and must have been sent off hurriedly to
Havannah by the French packet. How could it be known
that all on board the Rhone went down in her? It is not
likely that she foundered instantly, without warning, and
that 140 men would perish without a struggle for their
lives. lam in hopes, therefore, that we shall find that
neither all the passengers nor crew perished in the Rhone.

At the meeting of the council of the Liverpool
Chamber of Commerce, held yesterday, explanations were
given why the Ronen Chamber of Commerce had not
published the replies received to their recent communica-
tion on the state of trade generally, the reason being thas
the French go►ernment had taken advantage of an old'
law (1809), which prohibits the French chambers from
communicating with foreign bodies.

COLSTON DAY IN BRISTOL. —Y esterday being
the 13t1r of November, the anniversary of the birth and
death of the pious sad philanthropic Edward Colston, the .
three societies established for the purpose of perpetuating
his name and deeds held their annual dinners at Bristol.
The Anchor Society, supported by liberals ; the Dolphin, ,
by conservatives ; and the Grateful, by gentlemen who
on this occasion remain neutral, vie in honourable
emulation one with the other in the endeavour to obtain '
the largest subscription list. As a rule, men of note of
either party are invited to these gatherings. At the
Dolphin dinner yesterday, as we learn by telegraph, the .
Right Hon. the Earl of Devon, President of the Poor-law ,
Basel, attended ; and at the Anchor, Mr. Henry Berke-
ley, M.P. for Bristol, and Mr. Edgar Bowring, the liberal
uiditlate who is to fight two local liberals—Mr. E. S.
Robinson and Mr. Lewis Fry—for the seat soon to be '
vibrated by Sir Morton Pete, the present junior member
for the city. As politics are not excluded, the speeches
are looked upon se declarations of policy by the local par-
ties. At the Dolphin festival the Earl of Devon and Mr.
Stephen Cave, M.P., justified the passing of the Reform
Act, which, however, they admitted was an experiment.
The Earl of Devon promised an amelioration of the work-
house infirmary evils. At the Anchor Society Mr. Berkeley
severely criticised the conduct of the government in refer-
ence to the Reform Act. Mr. Disraeli and Lord Stanley
are announced to attend a large conservative banquet at
Bristol in January next.
THE CARR COLLIERY EXPLORION.—Mr. Dickin-
son, the inspector of this colliery, in his report, states that
the seam of coal known as the Barnsley bed is about SIL
thick and notoriously fiery, and that the cause of the ex-
plosion was clearly attributable, in his opinion, to the
system upon which the colliery was worked. The work-
ings at the deep of the shafts, where the explosion origi-
nated, were upon the long-wall system. The whole of the
working faces open at the time of the accident amounted
to about one mile in length. These faces, and the paves
behind them, some of which contained the firedamp, were
scattered about in various parts of the workings. The
working places were at the rise side of each goat, going up
hill, so that any firedamp which might become dislodged
would at once go upon the men in those "faces."
The gate roads, by which tho coal was brought from
the faces, came down through the games, the roof at
the sides being supported with pack.walls. These pack- •
walls were built of stone, which fell from the roof of
the goaves, and the stone had to be brought out ,rom
behind the temporary supports called "chocks" at the
faces. In getting out this stone the miners had to leave
their safety-lamps outside, and go into the goal in the
dark. He reports that " the present system of working
appears to involve this reprehensible practice, and it
appears to be common to the other collieries worked upon .
the old system, and the long-wall system as now practised
in this seam atßainsley." The mining engineers interested
in the management of these mines are earnestly solicited
to take the matter into serious consideratiou, in order that
a more suitable system may be introduced. Mr. Dickinson
has adopted a system (which was brought under the notice
of the Select Committee of the House of Commons) in his ,
late district, to which he attributes a diminution in the
number of accidents, concurrently with a large increase in
the number of persons employed in coal mining, and re-
commends the adoption of that system to the Barnsley
seam.

A CURIOUS TOLL QCSBTION.-A curious question
of toll came before the justices sitting at Edgware a few
days since, on • 11011111101111 against the Rev. C. La yard,
the minister of Sudbury, near Harrow-on-the-Hill for
not paying the toll of the Sheepcote turnpike in 'that
parish. The came against the rev. gentleman was that he
bad, when driving with his wife and a lad, refused to pay
the toll, and that whatever exemptions there were to a
clergyman when visiting the sick, he was not entitled to
carry others with him. On the part of the rev. gentle-
man, it was shown that he was called by special messenger
to visit a dying member of hie flock in a distant hamlet of
his wide-spreading pariah, and that his nearest way was
through this " pike." The act exempted clergymen from
toll when they were on this or other parochial duty, and
as the act specially mentioned, when speaking of the
exemption of the military, that they wore to be exempted
when alone "—a word not mentioned as applied to cler-
gymen—and also that a clergyman's wife was engaged on
the same duty of visiting the Fick, it was held that no
account. should have been taken of her presence. The
justices held that the rev. gentleman was entitled to have
a person with him to hold the horse when be was visit-
ing, but that he was not entitled to carry his wife. He
was amerced in Is. damages and his costs, the "pike".man
to pay his own costs. The case, it is said, will be carried
to the Court of Queen's Beach on behalf of the clergy-
Man.

TRADE 011TRAGE.—SOME time ago a- difficulty
occurred between Mr. Yates, the proprietor of the glass
works, Bolton Moor, and some of his bands ; it was, how-
ever, amicably arranged, and the men resumed work.
Latterly the men have been subjected to all sorts of petty
annoyances, imulted when they have gone into company,
and one or two nights ago Mr. Grey. the manager, was him-
self attacked. On Monday night, while the men at the
works were engaged in their ordinary labour, a succession
of crashes came at the windows, and a number of panes
were broken. On proceeding outside, the men were at-
tacked by a number of ruffians, some of whom had clothes
props ; they gained admission to the works and behaved
violently, the attack being subsequently repeated in •
Derby-street. John Speakman, one of the workmen, has
been violently ill-treated, his legs kicked, and his face
much disfigured. One of the apprentices, too, met with
maltreatment.

FENIAN MENAces.—The Cork Examiner of Mon-
day published the following letter, which, it remarke,
"bears internal evidence of ita genuineness " :—" Sir,—l
presume the readers of your valuable journal have no doubt
as to the government hanging those men, =delay con-
victed at Manchester for the murder of the policeman
Brett. If so, I advise the government to look before they
leap, for fear they should repent wben too late. All I say
is, the night that succeeds the day they aro to hung will
see every town end city in England on fire; and it will be
no small fire either, Mr. Editor, for there will be • good
many in each town. I need not tell you we have a goodly
set of Fenian. in each town. It is very easy to carry •
few bottles for the work in their pockets. They have
only to dash one through a window, and the inside is in •
blaze. Some of our English merchants will curse the
hanging business, and wish that they were hung instead
themselves. Kelly said, We will have AO eye for an
eye ;" and so we are determined. The government think
they an quiet us by hanging a few. I tell them
if they hang twenty thousand, the remainder will be their
enemies when the opportunity permits. We want none of
their favours. Nothing short of a clear separation will
please no, and that, thank God, we hope to have before
long. It would blunt our weapons very much if we swept
any of their treacheries. Mr. Editor, I was two months
ago a loyal man, now lam A WICKED FENIAN.' "

WHILE another South American Government is
in our money market fur the purpose of borrowing
a million sterling, it may be useful to direct atten-
tion to the position in which the British Govern-
ment stands in regard to transactions of this class,
a subject on which much misconception exists, and
which we desire to discuss without prejudice to
acquired interests. Of course the case of a small
South American Republic coming forward as •
bprrower does not differ in substance from that
of a European government asking for a loan.
Nevertheless, we find a very different view
taken of the duty of our Government to-
wards its subjects according as one or the
other fails to fulfil its engagements. Spain
may rob her foreign creditors by forced con-
versions, and Greece become totally oblivious of
her .obligations to those who have befriended her,
without any one proposing that the Admiral in
command of the Mediterranean squadron should
execute a distraint in the ports of those
kingdoms. But let a South American Re-
public make default, and the Foreign Minister
of the day is tolerably sure to be visited by a
deputation from the City, unfolding to him a tale
of wrong, and demanding the " vigorous action "
of the Government as a clear matter of right and
duty. A Foreign Secretary who hesitates to turn
our Admirals into bailiffs is asked what our fleet
exists for if not to " protect the property of the
" QUERN'S subjects." It is probable that this
ambiguous phrase lies at the root of most of the
existing misconception on this point. Our Govern-
ment has repeatedly interfered, and is bound to
do so, when its subjects in foreign countries are
wronged by governments to whose laws they con-
form, whose burdens they support, and to whose
protection they are entitled. But collecting the
debts of a subject who stands to a foreign govern-
ment in the simple relation of a creditor, is another
matter. When the persons in power in a country
begin to confiscate private property to their own
purposes, as General Maker= did in Mexico,
they cease to be a Government, and no harm is
done to anybody when their organization
of plunder is broken up ; but a govern-
ment may be culpably negligent of its duties
to foreign creditors, and yet be the best government
which could be formed under the circumstances
of the country in which it exists. When a Go.
vennuent too small to defy the moral judg-
ment of the world, as Spain has long done, ceases
to pay dividends on its foreign debt, its plea is ,
almost invariably the pressure of domestic or'
foreign dangers, which compels it to divert every
farthing of the public revenues to the maintenance
of the public authority and the national indepen-
dence, and a promise is made that the money
shall be forthcoming at the earliest possible moment.
From the language which we invariably hear in
this country under such circumstances, it would
seem that the lenders expected that under all
contingencies the borrowing Governments would
forward their remittances, and when they fail to do
se a demand is made that they shall be compelled.
'But v: hen • private person lends money to a
Government, whether with or without the &mega
meat of a special security, he knows that he is
lending to a body whose primary duty is and
must always be to preserve the commonwealth,
even, in case of necessity, at any sacrifice of
individual interests. A Government is an arti-
ficial creation which has been called into
existence for this purpose. The case of a
private debtor is different. If a householder owes
a hundred pounds more than he can pay, and is
threatened with execution, it does not avail him
in the eye of the law to plead that he has a wife
and seven young children. It is important that his
family should be provided for, but it is also im-
portant that credit should be maintained, and in
defence of the creditor's rights the man's household
may be broken up and dispersed. But no statesman
proposes to break up a State on account of its debts.
No State ever yet borrowed money upon the under-
standing that non-payment would constitute a
mans bll;. No right to put in an execution
against a Government for debt has ever been recog-
nized by international law. The evils which
would flow from such a permission would be infinitely
greater than those which result from a failure to
observe engagements. Mankind has an interest in
building up and maintaining governments every-
where, so that no part of the world shall be
abandoned to lawlessness ; but in many regions
of the earth this is a difficult task, and we must
not make it still more so.

It is quite true that Governments often plead
an inability which exists solely in the unwilling-
ness of their people to submit to the taxation ne-
cessary to do justice to the national creditor, or
which, if once real, has since passed away, and no
words are too strong to express the detestation in
which such unprincipled conduct must be held by
all honest minds. Nor is there any reason why
the moral influence of a settled Government, re-
nowned for the honourable manlier in which it
acquits itself of its engagements, should not be
diplomatically employed to recall such a defaulter
to a sense of propriety. And there may be case?
in which it may be wise to exert even a stronger
pressure by a resort to the national forces. But
such cases must always form the rare exceptions,
and it would be a pity if any who may be just now
weighing the advantages of the Honduras Govern-
ment Railway Loan as an investment were to have
their decision biassed by the assumption that the

The Hrrald also calls for a policy of firm and vigorous
repression, while the Star thinks it an appalling thing to
hang four men on the evidence of a dozen persons, ten of
whom are admitted to have made the gravest mistakes as
to the identity of another of the accused. It seems an im-
possibility to suppose that the government which has
recommended the free pardon of Maguire Gan possibly
proceed to enforce a death sentence that, upon substantially
the same evidence, was recorded against Allen, Larkin,
Gould, and Shore.

says :—" I dropped into the Scala, which will not be

like a pre-Adamite spider sprawling from its web by a
thread larger than a man-of-war's cable. On the dim

hesitate to say that this magnificent building is the finest
lounge in Europe. It is built in the form of a cross, and
where the four arms meet, a lofty crystal dome, enriched
at its base with four gigantic frescoes, representing Europe,
Asia, Africa, and America, and illuminated at night with

mosaic, upon which are emblazoned the arms of Italy in
their heraldic colours."

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—On Monday week a very
singular accident occurred to a waitron and four hones
belonging to Mr. Walter Chickell. of Foxearth. The
waggon. which was empty at the time, was proceeding
to fetch a load of drain pipes from Cornard, and
had just reached the bridge over the tramway leading
from the railway to Messrs. Allen's chalk pit and lime
works, when the hones, which were in charge of a
waggoner, took fright at the sound of the whistle of •
goods train, and dashed against the side wall of the
bridge, which at once gave way. The leader went right
over, and was impended in mid air by the harness, the
height from the ground being about twenty-five feet. The
horse fell with his head down, and we. supported by the
collar, in which position he must soon have been strangled,
but in the straggling the animal fortunately reversed his
position. After being suspended thus for fully ten minutes,
the harness waa cut, and the animal, being released, mane
to the ground. The other two were meanwhile balanced
half over the edge of the bridge, and unable to regain their
feet. Mr. Hayward, the stationmaster, was sent for, and
with the aid of four of the powerful hones belonging to
the company, hooked on to the waggon, the animaL were
dragged backwards from their dangerous position. The
horses, which were young and valuable animals, were for-
tunaMly. with the exception of some cuts and bruises,
uninjured, and p.eoesded home to Fozearth.—Bury and

The War Department has ordered the formation of
three camps at Naples, Poggio-Ilireto, and Florence. Each
camp will be composed of 25,000, and the whole force will
be placed under the command of General Cialdini. Orders
have been issued for the purchase of horses. Nominally
they will be for the instruction of the troops, but in
reality they will be camps of observation, and the whole
75,000 can be concentrated within a week on any given
point of the curve between Florence, l'ogdio•Dlireto, and
Naples. These are evidently precautions which are justi-
fied by the actual position of affairs.

The Riforma contains a letter from Spezzia, dated

Yesterday morning I went to Yarignano with Dr.

to walk in Varigeano, where there is a strong guard.
