ths President himself had ezprviesei in the letter el which be
wee the boater, be wished to declare in the plahsest terms
that, highly se be would regard an audience, sod important
as be d. noel it ender the pm-- nt cin tuio•uine, atilt he had
never wined it, and the treety *ail nothing shout it, but
he would not kneel when he came before the throne; he
could only salute his Majesty a• he did bat own ruler, and as
IlliBlieUr• of tb• Vatted States did the sovereigns of all
other envious when they sew them ; he knelt tnly u an act
of waship before Clod, sad would never do so before any
man. They were subjects of the Emperor, and must obey
his ritual; but he represented • notice whoee dignity be
✓indil not compromise by inch • compliance; sod fur-
thermore, true respect moot aluays proceed from the
Wart, and if the outward eremony was not colon:Airy
it was gipKriey. He would bow very low, and even nine
times if that would add to the eolerunity in their view; or he
would stand uncovered daring the whole audience, while the
Emperor sat. Mote than thts be would never willingly per-
form; while this form of salutation exhibited all the respect
he felt towards tho President, which they. must thenotelves
acknowledge wee quite se great as he could feel toweeds the
Emperor of China.
To. Commi.ioners answered that If they were In the •
Urited States they would conform to say requirements made
of them at an ieudience with the President, and that the
Aturncan initiate'. ought to act on that principle in their
country ; that they could not show teepee: to their siovereign
atheneum, then by kneeling, for earthing short of that was
atholutely sunning in that, estimation, sad would be deemed
ao by the &Deno. He world regard It as an indignity for
minion from • friendly Wien toeolll4 to Manilas! and refuse
to see him, when he required so touch lose of him than he
did of hie own confines; besides which the Pt-indent would
be offend of with hint for not shoeing proper reepect to hie
Envoy. In some Enropan coot te, even in the English,
persons hash before the sovereign when presented to hint,
and it is as mars derogatory to do v
the
than there. They
did not hesitate to may they regarded homage paid their
tooteerelt ea of the same sort se that given to gods,
and would even born incense to the President, as well as
mete the keret' to him, if required at Washington, in order
to nasitifest entire respect. " You are a plenipotentiary,"
said aesthete, turning to Mr. 'Ward, " and ,ertainly have
fall powers to do such an act."
" I am not invested with power* sufficient to inesbie me to
chores the laws nod asses of my canary, and coma do
anything to degrade it," was Mr. Ward's reply.

THE LATE HOUGHTON MEETING.

THE GREAT EASTERN.

(MOW OCR OWN CIMAIPPONDIXT.)

SOUTHAMPTON, SATI'EMAY.

The intention previously expressed kir the Great Eastern
to leave Holyhead this day has been abandoned, as it was not
possible to get the moorings ready in time for her snivel.
She will consequently leave on Tuesday, sad by Thuredsy
night, it is hoped, will be in safety in this anchorage. It is
intended, as soon as the greet ship reaches here, to make sr-
rangemente for providing on board for the lIIMIWOOM guests
who may visit her ; AO that, should the weather prove cold
daring her pis) here, there will be ►t hand plenty of creature
comforts to cheer and refresh. Dinners, tea, coffee, wines,
Ise., will be obtainable in various puts of the ship; and it its
even said that beds will be made up In the cabins for those
who feel inclined to sleep on board. The amine ham been
offered to a well-known tlaf of this town, who has, however,
declined it on account of its magnitude.
♦ !sport is abroad that no Minton, in sailing or row boars
will be admitted on board, the small steamer+ being the only
emeedited means of oonveyance . but it is hoped the report
is ash correct. The mammon of this port are licensed by the
manicipd authorities, and are, on the whole, a *ober and
industrious clam of men, sad ought not M be debarred from
the privilege of exercising Ask eaWag in this particular;
I whilst a ran down" to the peat ship in a sailieg-boat on the
' calm modem of the Southampton Water will be an additional
charm to Aintree ; and after viewing the great ship they may
wish to be put ashore at Netley, to see the greet hospital
now in riairee of erection, and the picturesque ruins of the
old abbey, as land in the New Forest.

Nonwicit, Oct. 29.-Hero to-day wheat was in rather
limited supply, and lest week's rotes were fully roan-
Miami for all descriptions of quality. There wee a fair quan-
tity of barley offering, but no alteration took place in prices
either for malting or distilling sorts. Little passing in other
grain. Whit. wheat is quoted this evening 48.1. to 48e.;
red ditto, 41e. to 445.; best chevalier malting barley, 42.. to
475. ; runs chevalier oitto, 340. to 38a.. . distilling ditto, 225.

at 34.. 7d. It will be tern that deliveries of wheat are now
being made on a liberal scale.
Norrinunam, Oc-r. 29.-At our Corn Exchange to-day
there was about an average show of wheat, which was die-
' poled of at an advance of ls. per qr. Old white reelised 484.
to 64.. ; new. 45e. to 62e. ; old red, 43e. to 475. ; new, 41s.

at the extreme rates of lad week, tamely, malting, 38e. to
44a.; Stale, 36e. to 40s. per qr.. grinding ports werefplentiful
sad rather lower terms were submitted to, rates varying from
27.. to 34. per 30 stone. Oats were • fair *bow, but the

stone.

Ox roan; OCT. 29.—Then was a large attendance, end
simples representing large bulks of wheat were ofleriog ;
much of it owing to the late wet weather was in very mid-
dling condition ; in prime qualities there was a fair amount
of bosoms' transacted at nominally the same rated as this
day am:light. The cams remarks will apply to other kinds
of grain, first-rate barley for malting purposes excepted, for
which the dermaid was far greater than the supply.

PETIRBOROCON' OCT. 29.—At our market to-day we
had a good supply of wheat, which met a fair sale, at fully
the priced of this day week. Barley the turn lower. Oats
timbered in value. Beane rather dearer. Best red whest, 445.
to 45e.; common, 39a. to 40a. per 6041 h.. Oats, 10d. to
per stone. Beane, 40.. per qr. of 6321 be.
RIADINC, OCT. 29.—The market woo very moderately
supplied with wheat; there was an increased supply of seed,
end high prices were asked. For grinding descriptions the
trade ruled steady, and Isles were made at about the prices
of last week. There was a good demand for all fine sorts of
barley at late rates; of inferior ports, however, there was not
so good a sale, still prices did not alter. In oats, beans, and
peso the market wee rather denier.

RocnENT67I, OCT. 29.—The anpLice were on II somewhat
increased scale. Some prime sampler of fine English wheat
sold more readily at 465, to 60s. per quarter, whilst other
sorts ranged from 44s 6d. to 465. There were a few trans-
actions in the best oicKtiptions of red, the highest quotations
of which were 40s. to 455. Some prime samples of malting
barley underwent an improvement of about ls. per quarter,
best samples fetching the comparatively high figure of 44a.
The demand for grinding barley was not so active, but the
article maintains its value, and prices tend upwards. There
was a dull demand for oats, but holders insisted on asking the
full priors of last week, which somewhat checked business,
and only a few retail lots changed bands, at from 235. to 27e.
The trade in beano and peas was very dull, and the only
transactions reported in that description of grain were of the
merest retail character, at unaltered prices.

W I BEC 11, OCT. 29.—We continue to befairly supplied with
wheat, and last week's prices fully maintained for all sorts.
and in some Metalline more money given for the better
descriptions. All spring corn in short supply, and last week's
prime readily obtained. Prices to the grows:—Wheat,
white, new, 440. to 465., extra, 420., 63Ibe. per bushel; do.
red, new, 395. to 41s. extra, 42a.; do. white, old, 44e. to
425., extra, 4Se.; do. ;id, old, 41.15. to 425., extra, 435. Oats,
104 d. to 11d. per stone. Beans, 3Ss.to 425. per qr.
WORCEST/Lll, OCT. 29.—There was a good supply of
wheat at market to-day, which sold at fully the currency of
this day ee'nnight. Barley lc per qr. dearer. Oats held for
quite as much money. Beans unaltered. More doing in
Peas.

Yoax, Ocr. 29.—The attendance of farmers and factor,
at oar market to-day watt fair, and there was a tolerable show
of wheat for the season. The trade ruled active at the full
prime of the previous week: white deecriptions were die-
pond of at 44.. to 601. • red, 40e. to 44e. per 36 atom. 'l'he
supply of lanky was gt;od, and a tale demand was experienced
for choice parcels at the full rate of the week previous:
malting made 335. to 38s per qr.; inferior Made were almost
neglected, and the business done was at receding rates-30e.
to 325. per 30 stone. There ware not much alteration in oats
and beans; the former told languidly at 22a. to 245. per 24
stone, while the latter sold steadily at 435. to 435. per 38
stone. Rye, 31*. ; malt, 66e. to 68s. per qr.; flour, 31s. to
335. per 20 stone.

Dt.st.tx, Ocr. 24.—We bad a moderate supply of grain
at market to-day, and a very ►risk demand. Wheat was
readily cleared off at an advance of tid. to lg. Barley was in
good demand, middling and lower qualities realising an ad-
vane* of 6d. Osla of all descriptions advanced 6d. per barrel.
Foreign wheat la in steady request, with a slight improve-
ment. Indian corn continues to attract the attention of
speculators; the basineas to-day, however, was small, at an
advance of la. per quarter.

WATERPOILD, Ocr. 29.—The supplies of home-grown
grata to our market this seek have teen scanty, but our
arrivals from abroad are to a lair extent ; coastwitie we have
received a few hundred quarters of sheet. No change of
consequence has occurred in the trade since the date of our
last; full priors have been paid for all anklet., while Indira
corn has realised a further advance of 6d. per bared. Far-
mers' wheat has found ready buyers at our extreme quota-
tions, and boat parcels have been more easy to diepooe of at
prices which were not obtamable last week. Barley and
oats we note the turn dearer, with a good inquiry for both.

KIRKCALDY, Ocr. 29.—Tho savete frost we experienced
the latter end of lest, and beginning of title week, has injured
in many 'mammies the potatoes still in the ground, and even
some of those pitted but not sufficiently covered. The late
turnip., as well se the mangolde, have suffered severely. On
Wednesday we had a complete thaw, with heavy WI of rain.
At our country markets this week, we had fair supplies of
all kinds of grain. Bales ready, at fully last week's prices,
for everything.; but the eager inquiry was for tine Cheva-
lier barley, winch wee again dd. to Is. Went.
