THE UNITY BANK INQUIRY.

Joseph Wakefield Terry and Thomas Burch, who stood
charged with having placed before the shareholders and
members of the Un,ty Bank a false balancessheet, with.
intent to deceive and defraud them, were on Saturday agaiL
placed at the bar.
The defendants, it will be remembered. were remanded
formally until Saturday, it being understood that they
should in the meantime furnish Mr. Lewis with the names
of their bail, and that they would be brought up merely for
the purpose of putting in bail, and to be remanded until
as
future day, when the inquiry will be resumed.
Mr Wontner, on behalf of Burch, said he was prepared
with two gentlemen of high position, who having been:
sworn, had the usual questions put to them, and were acs
cepted, Mr Lewis having no objection to either.
On the part of the other defendant (Terry), Mr Watson,
his solicitor, said he was also prepared with two gentlemen,
who would become bail for his client.
Mr Lewis, however, said he very strongly objected to ono
of the gentlemen who had come forward on the part of
Terry, and ho must ask that another might be found in hie
stead.

Mr Watson said he was not then prepared with another,
and Terry was therefore again remanded until Monday to
give him an opportunity of putting in bail.

ERRATUM.—In our report of Saturday it was erroneously
stated that the prosecution against the defendants Joseph
Wakefield Terry and Thomas Burch was carried on by the
liquidators of the London and Middlesex Bank. It should
have been, " The prosecution was carried on by the liqui-
dators of the Unity Bank."

TAW REPORTING.—Sir Roundel( Palmer, M.P.,
her Majesty's Attorney General, has called a meeting of
members of the Bar, which is to be held in the dining room
of Linccln's Inn, on Monday, the 2lst inst., for the purpose
of taking into consideration the report of a committee ap-
pointed on the 2d Dec. last on the subject of reporting in the
courts of law.

LONDON, MONDAY, NOV. 21, 1864.

The intelligence brought by the Canada is very
much what was expected in this country with
regard to the great Presidential contest. When
the mail left the question was not indeed actually
decided, but no doubt remained of the final result,
LINCOLN having, according to the lowest estimate
of the returns received up to November 10th a nu-
merical majority of 400,000 votes and a majority
of 148 against 65 in the electoral college, inclusive
of Louisiana and Tennessee. The states of New
York, New Jersey, Kentucky, and Missouri are
said to have given the llomocrats a majority. This
is not surprising in the two latter, whose tenden•
cies have always been more than half Southern ;
but that the empire State should give M'CLELLAN
the preferecce is very significant. In the City of
New York itself the Democratic candidate has a
mejority of 38,000, and this in spite of the mask
'being thrown off and BUTLER'S openly assuming
the military command of the city. Of course all
bo,uthern professions were ready. Ile would not
interfere unless the civil authorities failed to pre•
serve the peace. Every citizen should be protected
in his right by the whole power of the Government.
The soldiers were the soldiers of constitutional
liberty—a novel thing certainly. Bat like a lady's
Posteript he added as ominous threat when he an-
flounced the intention of the Government to punish
after the election all who should be detected giving
fraudulent votes. No disturbance took place during
the elections, but in spite of BUTLER'S promised
threats the citizens of New York have unmistakably
pronounced against LINCOLN'S policy. He had
better tako warning, for he may rouse them to
dangere,ea action. They are not of a temper or a
/nettle to be triti.d with too far, and Mr, SnwanD's
elcclaration that the Government has no idea of
adopting conciliatory measures, but that the war
must go on till one or the other succumbs through
haustion, is not eticoursgieg to a people alresdy
sick and weary of its Übelttlb misery, Meanwhile
militery affairs are not promising fur the North.
SHERMAN, finding it impossible to hold his great
prize, has evacuated and burnt Atlanta, thus car-
-I.,:ing Russian barbariem into civilised Warfare.
1-;TIEIIIDAN is at Middletown, with his horses dying
of starvation, all attempts to secure forage being
frustratul by the Confederate cavalry, and thus it
is improbable he can long hold his ground. FOR-
REST is advancing in Tennessee, and has captured
Johnsonville, which the Pederals had previously
evacuated, but after a strange fashion, for all their
stores, eight transports, three gunboats, the officers
end crew#, and many cannon, have fallen into

FORREST'S hands. For the first time, it is said,
LEE'S forces equal GRANT'S, and a decisive move-
ment was expected on the part of the Commander-
in-Chief. In the face of all this, Mr. SEWARD'S
declaration that the war must go on until one sue•
cumbs from exhaustion, sounds almost suicidal ; for
the Federals are growing weaker in men, money,
and credit, as surely as the Confederates gather
strength. Bat there is one contingency that Mr.
LINCOLN and his friends do not seem to take into
their calculations. Will the Northern people sub-
mit to this Reign of Terror for another four years ?
It is probable that long before that time New York
will throw off the yoke, other States will follow its
ximple, and the final solution of the great war
problem may bo seen in a fresh rebellion against
Republican tyranny.

Education is now one of the leading questions o
the day, and engages the attention of all who at-
tempt to take a leading part in public affairs. Lord
ROBERT CECIL'S observations the other day at
Droitwich are worthy of notice, and treat of the
subject in a fitting and appropriate style. The ime
portance of the particular thing he moved cannot
be overrated, and indeed hardly too much esteemed.
It addresses itself to all, either directly or indirectly,
as connected with the interests of the community.
The passage was as follows :—" That the continued
education of the industrial classes after the age of
childhood was one of the moat important aids to
national wellbeing, and as such deserves the best
attention of statesmen and philanthropists." In
every point of view it is desirable that the full force
of thia should be appreciated. In the first place,
the children who are removed from tuition at so
early an age lose the best time of their lives for in-
struction, and, whether apt scholars or indifferent
ones, must often mourn for neglected opportunities
in after years, or else their companions will mark
the deficiency if they are not acute enough to feel it
for themselves. Again, much harm is done to
the health both of mind and body by the injurious
system of our teaching at a tender age, and this
pernicious practice is very likely to be encouraged
to a great extent by the exertions of teachers
and the sanction of parents. Lord ROBERT
CECIL remarked that many persons seemed
to ignore the fact that the educational movement in
this country mainly applied to children under the
age of twelve or thereabouts, and that the efforts of
those who seek to promote the education of adults
was almost entirely overlooked by the Committee of
Council on Education. Certainly it is not now the
way to achieve the object in view to set out with
the tacit understanding that much good will
accrue to the individual, the community, and the
country by a system of education that ceases so
preposterously soon. They who know anything of
learning and the importance of its being imbibed
while the mind is strong enough to receive it, will
be tempted to agree with the noble lord when he
says that he would rather " take a lad raw and un-
trained up to the age of twelve than take him
or the amount of education he carried away
with him from school before that age."
The intellect must be cultivated up to a much later
period, and, besides this, some time must be allowed
to foster the training received, or else the impress
sions will wear away altogether, if they are not
absolutely effaced in the wear and tear of life which
meets the young tyro of learning directly he leaves
the school for the work of life. The educationalists
are assuredly open to some of the charges which
are preferred against them in the strictures
of this speech. Doubtless they acted from credit..
able motives, but most mistaken ones, in
thwarting the efforts of those who tried to pro-
mote night schools, where boys of a much older
class could be taught and instructed. At that age
so much more is done, and done judiciously, that it
can affect the character and principles of after life,
as well as produce the immediate effects of mental
training and moral benefits. The noble lord very
truly laid great stress upon the importance of the
Educational Grants being continued, and urged
that the object of these efforts should be to make
working men so appreciate instruction that they
would as soon see their sons without bread as with-
out knowledge. A better test of the folly and fallacy
of the system in so much vogue at present could not
be found than that here put—did any one fall back
with delight to what they learnt at that early age ?
Another strong point was in the noble lord's advert-
ing to the dislike entertained by some persons to
this excessive mania for education, on the ground
that no good results ensued to the labouring Classes.
But, said he, that was because "adult education was
BO completely neglected." Nor, indeed, can the
wildest enthusiast for learning expect that the real
object of education can be gained so soon. To sun.
ceed in its effects its training should affect the
highest interests in this world as well as enable its
recipients to prepare for hereafter. Mere book
learning by rote, acquired at a time when the child
cannot grasp the relative proportions of what he
learns, and connect different ideas in his mind, may
serve the turn of the day, but cannel possibly be a
part of that knowledge whose acquisition is a joy
for ever, strengthening with his strength, and
growing with his growth, rendering him meet to
adorn prosperity, and bracing his mind to endure
adversity. Without extending to any very great
extent, much may be done in a practical
form, if only those who receive the infor-
mation are old enough to imbibe it, and suffi-
ciently trained to recognise its importance and feel
its influence. One thing really appreciated is of
more value than a hundred taken up for the fancy
of the hour, but laid aside when the next attraction
comes. Lord R. CECIL warmly advocated the
benefit of institutions like that they then met to
encourage, for they held out an encouragement to
the working men to abstain from those pursuits
which led to intemperance, and seek that relaxation
which all must somehow enjoy in enjoyments of an
elevating, or at all events of an innocent character.
He pointed out, in illustration of his meaning, that
great changes for the better had been wrought in
the social condition of the upper and middle classes
in the last fifty years, and what had been done
with one section of the community might be done
with the other. " They were men of the same race,
men made of the clay, and if they would only apply
to the lower what had been applied to the upper
and middle classes, they might surely count upon
the result." This is the right way of looking at
the question, and comes with a good grace from
one who himself belongs to the upper ranks of life.
The more it is understood and recognised that the
virtues and excellencies, Nhich are the real strength
and glory of humanity and not coefiued to one
class, the better it will be for the community at
Large. Refinement is another thing, and, as the
noble lord observed, intellectual distinction of a
high degree is not likely to be gained by many, and
therefore it is wisest and best not to start with
such high Hawn notions which create failures and
cause cliesP'2ointrnent. The conclusion of this sen-
sible address was devoted to the consideration of
the right subjects for the
working man's perusal,
and there is great truth in
the noble lord's remarks
that it is idle to be too strict in that matter. We ar e
not arrived at a "metaphysical millennium" just yet,
and if the poor are kept from evil the means need
not be too strict or exclusive that assist in the good
work. This is wise teaching and true philosophy,

if it be not imparted according to the doctrines of
those whose tenets are too closely connected with
the "cobwebs of the schools."

The arrival of the Indian mail still further cone
firms the disastrous intelligence of the damage
wrought by the cyclone at Calcutta and its neigh-
bourhood. When an accident or misfortune has
occurred at some distance it often happens that
the first account exaggerates the evil, and that
matters are not as bad as were at first appre■
headed. When, on the other hand, the catas-
trophe has really been of a serious nature, the
passage of time only serves to bring to light fresh
tidings of disaster, and to pourtray more vividly
its direful results. Such has been the case with
the terrible storm which has recently devastated
Calcutta and turned its busy river into a waste of
wrecks. The loss of life appears to have been some-
thing frightful, 1,200 lives having been lost in one
district alone; while it is even calculated that bee
tween Calcutta and Diamond Harbour, down the
river, 5,000 persons fell victims in one way or
another to the fury of the storm. It will be well
if that number be not largely increased by want,
exposure, and pestilence, for the river is choked
with dead bodies of men and animals, while the
land is piled with heaps of decaying vegetable
matter. The danger from famine among the
natives is very great and pressing. A steamer pro-
ceeding to Durreabpoor found the place deserted,
the people having been for type days without food,
and having with difficulty escaped. At Kedgeree,
still further up the river, the scene was the same—
a vessel having been actually blown ineshore off
the telegraph office, which was entirely destroyed.
The storm was felt here five hours before it reached
Calcutta, and great discontent is expressed in the
local journals at the want of management which
failed to give any intimation of it by telegraph.
It is complained, too, that warning might have
been sent up from the Sandheads of the
approach of the terrible storm-wave to
which the greater part of the disasters among the
shipping were owing, and which at Diamond Har-
bour is reported to have been 30 feet in height,
sweeping the country bare. The Observatory at
Calcutta is, it seems, left entirely in the hands of
a native, who, however skilful in some respects, is
manifestly unequal to all the requirements of his
post. He observed the barometer falling steadily
for eighteen hours before the storm, but took no
further notice than to enter the fact in his notes.
Had he then given warning to the commanders of
vessels, or had the telegraph at Kedgeree been set
to work at the first signs of the approaching storm,
how much might have been spared! It is too bad
that at the present state of the meteorological
science, so remarkable an event should occur with-
out any premonitory signs being noticed, and if a
steady fall of the mercury for eighteen hours is to
be passed by without comment, there is not much
use in keeping up an Observatory. The catastrophe
of the sth October was exceptional in its extent and
severity; but Calcutta is always liable to hurni-
canes and cyclones of less violence, and these, it is
said, generally come up the bay from the south at
about the rate of ten miles an hour, so that if a
proper look-out were kept and the telegraph
promptly used, there would be ample time for
warning the port and town, so that some provision
might be made. No care or foreknowledge could
have saved the native houses, or obviated the dangers
caused by falling trees and roofs; but the terrible
destruction of shipping might have been, in great
measure, averted, and a large proportion of the lives
saerified might have been saved by timely premo-
nition. Had the natives fled from the shores of the
river before the approach of the fearful storm■wave
to which so much of the devastation was owing,
we should have a less melancholy recital. In the
words of Miss INGELOW'S pathetic ballad—
" That flow strewed wreck upon the grass,
That ebb swept out the flocks to sea;"
and, unhappily, the flocks were not the only
things that suffered. The condition of the natives
at the time the mail left was most deplorable ; and
owing to the absence of all officials from the capital,
no public steps were taken for their relief. Private
benevolence, however, as is until when Englishmen
are concerned, stepped in to the rescue, and not-
withstanding the heavy losses sustained by most of
the private firms of Calcutta, a meeting was held at
the Chamber of Commerce on the 13th of October
for the purpose of relieving the more pressing wants
of the sufferers. Large subscriptions were quickly
raised, and one of the Bombay Company's steamers
was sent down the river with rice and other neces
series for distribution, and another supply was for-
warded by rail to the Piallee river. There are two
drawbacks to this otherwise gratifying intelligence
—the first being that the wealthy Hindoos showed
great unwillingness to subscribe for the relief of
their starving count rymen ; the second, that the
benevolent donors have to pay from their funds
£lOO per day for the use of the steamer, a sum
which would be much better laid out in further
supplies of food for the famishing. People at Cal-
cutta were looking anxiously for the return of the
local government, which might lend steamers for
the assistance of the stranded vessels and
other purposes ; and it seems strange that so
advisable a proceeding should have been delayed.
It is no doubt wise and right for the members of
every department to have the benefit of change, and
air, and scene to lighten their round of duties, but
such a catastrophe as this cyclone should certainly
have brought the officials to their places again with
as little delay as possible. When the police reports
tell us of nearly 90,000 native houses destroyed,
and more than 2,000 European houses damaged,
besides the terrible loss of life and property on the
river, it is high time that the Executive Govern-
ment should do all that lies in its power to mitigate
so great and extensive a calamity. The arrival of
the spring tide was anxiously watched for as the
only chance of getting some of the vessels off, and
it actually succeeded in bringing off several large
steamers, though the Thunder, 1,400 tons, and
many other fine ships, were still high and dry
when the mail left. By the time the next mail
arrives we shall, it is to be hoped, have intelligence
that active steps have been taken to repair so much
of the mischief as is reparable, but the experience of
this storm certainly shows some great deficiencies
in the management of a port where such a catas
trophe, if not frequent, is at least possible.

AMERICA.
ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA.

The Royal Mail steamer Canada, from Boston on
the 9th inst., arrived at Queenstown at 2 a.m. She
brings 70 passengers and 25,414 dols. in specie.
She landed 75 sacks of mails and four passengers,
and proceeded immediately all well. She expe.
rienced severe weather, and was detained at Halifax
by fog.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10 (Evening).

The Presidential election has passed off quietly
Abraham Lincoln has carried all the States except
Jersey, Kentucky, and Delaware. His majority is
225,000 votes. M'Clellan's majority in New York
city is 37,000. Two-thirds of the Congress aro Re•
publican. Seymour's election is doubtful.
It is reported that Sherman has burnt Atlanta,
destroyed the Chattanooga Rail way, and marched
with 5 corps direct for Charleston, South Carolina,
leaving two corps to watch Hood.
The report is discredited at Washington, bat a
general belief prevails that Sherman is making an
important movement from Atlanta towards the
Atlantic seaboard.

The enrolment of negroes at Mobile has been
delayed.
The New York- Times states that America owes
Brazil satisfaction and an apology, in accordance
with the usage of nations, for the seizure of the
Florida.

Treasonable plots have been discovered at
Toronto.

but has declined since to 2431 in consequence of a
rumour that Government intends selling it for
commercial purposes at 50 (P 150) per cent.
premium.

NEW YORK, Nov. 8 (Evening).

General Butler has assumed the command of the
troops in the State of New York, and has established
his headquarters in this city. He announces that
sufficient !troops will be detailed for duty in the
eastern district to preserve peace, and says that if
the Government had received information that a
raid similar to the St. Alban's raid was contem-
plated, there would have been no necessity for pre-
cautionary measures. Soldiers will not interfere
with the liberal franchise, and will see that there is
no interference with the elections unless the civil
authorities are overcome by force.
The election to-day has proceeded quietly as far as
is known.

It is positively asserted that General Butler has
warned several gold brokers that they must not
speculate in gild the detriment of the Govern-
ment.

Sherman's headquarters were at Gaylesville on
the 27th. The .IVeut York Herald asserts that ho
had sent one corps to Thecatur to operate against
Hood, and moved the remaining five corps to At-
lanta for an offensive campaign.

It is reported that Hood with the remainder of
his army had succeeded in crossing Tennessee with
his batteries between Paducah and Johnsonville.
His forces are 12,000 strong and 15 guns. He
captured and destroyed the Federal gunboats and
transports at Johnsonville, securing the efficers,
crews, and a cousiderabl© amount of stores and
artillery.

It is reported the Federals had evacuated John-
sonville.

A report has been received at Nashville, which,
however, requires confirmation, that Hood, having
ppassage of the Tennessee, at Mount
Blueattempted ted
Water, the
had been repulsed with considerable
a
loss.

Hood has issued an address to his troops, stating
that Sherman could hold neither Atlanta nor
Nashville, and that in the next battle he would
lead them to victory.

lie said there was no question
before the people of abandoning the war measures
against slavery, or of changing
the object of the war
from the maintenance of the union to the abolition
of slavery. Slavery gwas the mainspring of
the rebellion, therefore the Government strikes
everywhere. The Government will not abandon
the conflict until the majority of the people desire
it shall be abandoned. If Lincoln was elected, the
rebels would humbly sue for peace. He would never
surrender to the rebels. He wanted no armistice,
no cessation of hostilities, no negociation with
armed rebels.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Nov. 21.

Lord Napier had an audience of the King
toaday and presented his credentials as British
Ambassador to the Prussian Court.

His Excellency afterwards visited Herr von
Bismark.

Count Karo!yi has also been received by the
King.
The Prince of Hohenzollern leaves for Vienna
to.morrow.

A Berlin letter states that M. de Bismark for•
warded a despatch to Vienna on Monday last, de-
claring that Prussia consented to resume the com-
mercial negotiations as desired by Austria, with the
reservation that the independence of the Zollveran,
with regard to the treaties it might conclude with
other nations, should remain unhampered. In the
official circles of Berlin it was expected that
Austria would, in return, make political con-
cession to Prussia in the affair of the
Duchies, especially in supporting in the Diet
the demand for the withdrawal of the Federal
troops. In any case, as this measure cannot be
taken till after the repeal of the decree ordering
the execution, there will undoubtedly be a warm
debate in the Diet, which assumes to have interests
to uphold in Holstein. Apprehensions are enter.
tamped that Prussia, if she succeeds in obtaining the
withdrawal of the Federal troops and civil commis•
sioners, will also insist on Prince Frederick's de-
parture, with a view to realising the project of
annexation attributed to M. de Bismark.

Baron de Talleyrand-Perigord, the new French
Ambassador at St. Petersburg, had an audience of
the Emperor Alexander on Sunday last at the
Palace of Tsarskce-Selo, to deliver his credentials.
The Baron dined with his Majesty, and in the even.
ing was prezent at the Court theatre. Other perk
sonages were also presented to the Emperor on the
same day ; among them Baron de Vri&e, formerly
Minister of Foreign Affairs in Belgium, and Count
Puliga, Charge d'Affairs of Italy.
The bulletin of the Paris Observatory gives
the following as the atmospheric state of Europe
yesterday :—" The new tempest, which is much
more circumscribed than the preceding Gne, has
its centre at present in the neighbourhood of
Perth, in Scotland. It will probably soon re-
move to the erman Ocean, and afterwards to the
Baltic. The barometrical pressure is rapidly
rising in Spain and Portugal. The probability
therefore is that the high winds will temporarily
subside on the Western coasts of Europe ; but the
very rapidity of the rise of the barometer on the
Peninsula is a sign that fresh storms exist on the
surface of the Atlantic. The wind is at present
very strong in the Channel, and rather less so on the
coasts of Brittany and Biscay. It is feeble on the
coasts of Provence, where the mistral will soon
make its appearance."

SUPPOSED Loss OP A HUTT, STEAMER IN THE
B tanc.-0 rcat anxiel y prevails among those whose
friends form the crew of the screw steamer North-Eastern,
of Mill. 7he North-Eastern is a vessel of 600 or 700 tons
burden. She belongs to Messrs. Wilson, Sons, and C 0..,
Hull, and was under the command of Captain Borough.
Since the closing of the Petersburgh trade by the approach
of winter, the North-Eastern has plied between Hull and
Dantsio. She is known to have left the port a fortnight
ago, and up to a late hour on Friday night the owners had
not received a telegram of her having passed the sound,
which they usually do within a day or two of their vessels
leaving Danthie. The North-Eastern was manned by a cre w
of about 20 men, !)nd it is supposed that she bad a few pas-
sengers,
