The career of the cruiser Shenanliali hu Iha
come to an end. There was little or no excitement
consequent on her arrival here to-day. It was
known early in the morning that a large screw
steamer was at anchor outside the bar, waiting for
water to bring her over, and that shy was a Confe-
derate cruiser was evident from her flying the
Confederate ensign.. The Shenandoah (formerly
the steamer Sea King) is certainly a fine specimen
of naval architecture, and as she steamed up the
Mersey looked exceedingly well. ller hull is long,
finely moulded, and painted black, and as she is ship
rigged and rather heavily spanned, her whole
appearance is that of a fast and good sea-boat. She
had no guns on deck—all her armament being
stowed away below in boxes. She lies anchored
close to her Majesty's ship Donegal, and we believe
we are correct in stating that she will be in posses-
sion of the Government officials—indeed, some
Customs officers are now on board—and that as
soon as matters are arranged she will be handed
over to the United States Government.
Since the above was written we learn that the
Shenandoah has been delivered up to Capt. Paynter,
of her Majesty's ship Donegal, and she is now in
possession of some of the crew of the Donegal and a
posse of Customs officers. The crew of the Shenan-
doah numbered 133 men all told, and, as soon as
she was surrendered, Capt. Waddell, together with
some of the officers, separated. Since setting out
on her work of destruction the Shenandoah has de-
stroyed 37 vessels, the majority of which were
whalers, and these were destroyed after the cessa-
tion of hostilities. To show how the operations of
the Shenandoah affected the sperm oil market, we
may state that her depredations amongst the
whaling fleets has caused sperm oil to run up from
£7O to £l2O per tun, and it is likely to advance
still further, as until the news of the surrender of
the Shenandoah is known in the ports from whence
whalers depart the Arctic seas will certainly be bare
of the customary amount of whaling vessels.

RED TAPE v. GRATITUDE TO HEAVEN.
Disappearance of the Ohclera from Gibralta;

In the Gibraltar Chronicle, of the 28th and 30th
ult. (just received), there appears a discussion of a
most extraordinary character to our thinking, in
which the ultra loyalty of that local journal to the
principles of Routine evidences itself in the manner
following :
We yesterday observed in our.remarks on the
thanksgiving day that we believed regret was very
generally felt that that day had not been fixed by
the Governor's proclamation. It has bedn suggested
that some of our readers might infer that the non-
appointment of a day was an omission on the part
of his excellency. Those who had read a few lines
on the same subject which appeared in Monday's
Chronicle could not, of course, be under that impres-
sion ; but to prevent the possibility of a misinter-
pretation of our words yesterday, we will briefly
state wherein we believe there is a very general
agreement amongst the public that a mistaken
course was adopted with respect to the thanks-
giving day. In all the sad incidents of the late
calamity there have been no divisions or distinc-
tion of race or creed. The comprehensive charity
of the relief fund has included all who possessed
the single credential of want orsuffering. It was, we
believe, generally felt that the same comprehensive
spirit and the same unanimity should mark our
thanksgiving to the Almighty for his withdrawal
of the scourge that has lately so severely afflicted us.
The most obvious and proper, and perhapsthe only
way of fixing a thanksgiving day acceptable to the
whole of the residents in this city and garrison, of
every class and every religious denomination, would
have been to request the Governor, as the represen-
tative of the Queen, to appoint a day by public pro-
clamation. No one who knows the Governor could
for a moment doubt that his excellency would most
gladly have taken his proper part in this offering of
grateful thanks. We think it unfortunate that this
course was not adopted, and that the day of solemn
thanksgiving was not universally instead of gene-
rally observed throughout Gibraltar. In Roman
Catholic Spain we observe that the appointment of
the day for the celebration of a Te Deum for the
deliverance of the people of any place from the
epidemic rests with the civil government and not
with the bishops. In our own community we are
sure that in a solemn act of the whole population, it
was generally regretted that the very highest autho-
rity should not have been requested to take that
part which, as the head of this society and the re-
presentative of our Sovereign, rightly pertained to
him. Educated Englishmen, whose loyalty springs
from a just appreciation of the liberty and security
they enjoy under the protection of the laws and con-
stitution of their own land, are jealous of the respect
due to their Sovereign and all who representher, and
there must be many who offered their tribute of
thanksgiving on Thursday last who, when doing so,
regretted that, by what we must consider an unfor-
tunate mistake, there was not an unanimous observ-
ance of the day by the whole community and its
legitimate head.

Our readers will remember that several months
since we stated that the steamer Laurel sailed from
Liverpool for Modina with arms for the Shenandoah.
Though this statement was promptly contradicted
by the owner of the Laurel, yet in a very few weeks
afterwards the homeward West African mail
steamer soon confirmed the statement, for while
lying at Modina the Laurel and the Shenandoah
met, and the cargo of the former vessel was trans-
ferred to the latter, and the cruiser commenced
work.

A Very Pretty Quarrel as it Stands.

There is but one Charles Reade, and Tomlins is his critic.

In consequence of the letter addressed to the
Reader last week by Mr. Charles Reade, the fol-
lowing communication appears this week in the
same journal from the hand of Mr. F. G. Tom-
lins

To the Editor of the Reader.
Sir,--In a letter inserted in your last week's paper, Mr.
Charles Reade has ingeniously contrived, in twenty-six
rabid lines, to make four false statements ; insinuate an
atrocious slander; make a claptrap appeal " to honest men
and women ;" and indicate a maniacal egotism, concluding
with a sensational discovery (a /a theatre) that a certain
Tomlins is Mullins, a fact which I, at least, hope may long
'be so.

We have received, says the Gilraltar Chronicle, of
the 30th ult., the following letter from the Right
Rev. Bishop Scan&lla, Roman Catholic Vicar
Apostolic :

TO THE EDITOR OF THE GIBRALTAR CHRONICLE.

St. Bernard's College, Oct. 30, 1865,

Sir,—May I bo permitted to submit a few observations
on the remarks contained in your editorial of Saturday ?
When the cholera began to rage in this city, I at once
directed public prayers to be offered up that the terrible
scourge might be averted from us ; and these sacred offices
were ,attended by numerous and devout congregations.
The epidemic having happily ceased, it was the first duty
of my ministry to exhort my flock to return thanks to the
Almighty in a solemn 7'e Deum. That the, thanksgiving
might be the more acceptable to God, I proposed that it
should be solemnised by the consecration of an entire day
thereto. Guided, doubtless, by the same considerations the
Venerable Archdeacon Sleenian and the Chief Rabbi ob-
served the like conduct in both cases.

Mr. Reado is so like the man who spoke in such a loud
tone that no ono could understand what ho said, that I am
not quite sure I make out the cause of his extreme wrath.
As far as I comprehend it, it is that he, an author of great
repute, has been attacked by an obscure scribbler, and that
the said scribbler writes anonymously.

To prove the anonymous, he refers to my denouncing
his (to me) revolting scenes in a f4,1l theatre—a strange
mode of proving the anonymous ; and he ignores that the
article was signed with my initials, which aro well known
to all interested in dramatic matters.

With regard to obscurity, that may be inconvenient to
the individual ; but scribblers who are not obscure may bo
more than inconvenient to society ; especially when, in-
spired by an insatiable vanity, and goaded by a fierce and
restless egotism, they raise huge slanders, not only on in-
dividuals but classes; and, making literature a mere money-
getting occupation, coin, not only their own hearts, but the
sufferings of humanity, into drachmas.
On a calm review of the whole matter, and with a full
sense of the danger of a maniacal egotist (stung to phrenzy)
proceeding to some overt act of ruffianism, I must still
repeat that I consider Mr. Charles Reade's play of "Never
Too Late to Mend" a trumpery pieco of catchpenny writ-
ing, spiced with horrors to excite the vitiated tastes of tho
mob of all ranks.

As, then, there was solely question of acts purely and
exclusively ecclesiastical and religious, which in no wise
interfered with the civil and temporal, I do not see how
the fulfilment of our duties within the strict circle of our
own powers can deserve be La Atiznuttised as an unfortu-
nate mistake.

:~~

I will adi that, far from feeling regret that our thanks-
giving was not solemnized in virtue of an official procla-
mation, I am deeply and sincerely consoled that it took
place in force of the spontaneous will of an entire popula-
tion without pressure of any kind. Had it been celebrated
as you suggest, would not the giving up of all work have
been for some the result, more or less, of co-action?
Would it not have deprived the people of Gibraltar of an
excellent opportunity of giving public testimony of their
religious sentiments, and of proving how false is the accu-
sation which more than one person has put forth against
them, that they are irreligious and immoral ? Has it not
been a consoling and edifying spectacle, that an entire
people, of their own accord, and moved solely by religious
feelings, have consecrated an entire day to this thanks-
giving, renouncing all worldly gain for its sake ?
As for myself I entertain not the least doubt that this
spectacle has afforded our respected authorities far more
consolation than if it would have been the result of a pro-
clamation.

As far as I am concerned this controversy is at an end,
and Mr. Reade may empty the slang dictionary on me,
without disturbing my peace of mind, or provoking me to
further useless parley.—l am, Sir, your occasional critical
contributor, F. G. TOMLINS.

THE LATE PREMIER.—The following bishops
were appointed by Lord Palmerston :-.Hon. and
Rev. Montagu Villiers, Bishop of Carlisle, 1855 ; Durham,
1861; died, 1862 ; Dr. Baring, Bishop of Gloucester, 1856;
elevated to Durham, 1862 ; Dr. Tait, Bishop of London,
1856 ; Dr. Bickersteth, Bishop of Ripon, 1856, vice Dr.
Longloy, promoted to Durham ; Hon. and Rev. Dr. Pel-
ham, Bishop of Norwich, 1837 ; Dr. Wigram, Bishop of
Rochester, 1860 (Dr. Vaughan having declined); Hon.
and Rev. Dr. Waldegrave, Bishop of Carlisle, 1860 ; Dr.
Thompson, Bishop of Gloucester, 1861, promoted to York,
1862 ; Dr. Ellicott, Bishop of Gloucester, 1861 ; Dr. H.
Browne, Bishop of Ely, 1864; Dr. Jeuno, Bishop of Peter-
borough, 1864; Dr. Jacobson, Bishop of Chester, 1865.
Lord Palmerston's appointments include, therefore, 12
bishops made in ten years, of whom 11,1mrvive. His lord-
ship also filled the sees of Canterbury and York by the p"o-
-motion of Dr. Longley and Dr. Thomson. Dr. Longley
was consecrated Bishop of Ripon in 1836 by Lord Mel-
bourne, advanced by Lord Palmerston, first to Durham in
1856, and then to Canterbury in 1862. The following is a
list of Lord Palmerston's deans :—Dr. Close, Dean of Car-
lisle, 1856 ; Dr. Alfred, Dean of Canterbury, 1857 ; Dr.
Trench, Dean of Westminster, 1857 ; Dr. Gamier, Dean
of Ripon, 1858, promoted to Lincoln, 1860 ; and died in
1864 ; Dr. Goode, Dean of Ripon, 1860 ; Dr. Henry Law,
1 Dean of Gloucester, 1862 ; Hon. Viscount Midleton, Dean
of Exeter, 1862 ; Dr. Jeuno (now Bishop of Peterborough),
Dean of Lincoln, 1864; Dr. Jeremio, Dean of Lincoln,

lish deaneries given away since March, 1855, but of those
one mitre and three deaneries fell to Lord Derby. After
making allowance for deaths and promotions, there remain
11 out of 28 sees now filled by bishops of Lord Palmer-
ston's selection, and (excluding Westminster as special)
there are six out of 25 deaneries in the patronage of the
Crown filled by deans of the late lamented Premier's selec-
tion.—Record.

It is certainly to be rdgretted that the public func-
tionaries, both civil and military, were not able to join the
rest of the inhabitants, but I consider it a far lesser evil ;
the more so, that had the heads of departments made duo
representations on the matter, permission would most pro-
bably have been very cheerfully accorded.
I beg to observe finally that if it belongs to the civil
government and not to the bishops in Catholic Spain to
name the day for a Te Dem,* the same principle is not ap-
plicable to Gibraltar. In Spain there is no religious
liberty. The Catholic religion is, by the constitution, the
only religion of the State. Between the State and the
Church there are concordats and conventions, and, conse-
quently, reciprocal rights and obligations. In Gibraltar, on
the contrary, we enjoy the fullest and most complete reli-
gious liberty; there is not, legally, any State church ; there
are no concordats or conventions. From this very import-
ant difference it follows that if the 7'e Deum be a civico-
religious act in Spain, it is pure and exclusively a religious
solemnity in Gibraltar.

Inasmuch as your remarks of Saturday were, by many,
interpreted as directed in a great measure to me, I trust to
your impartiality for tho insertion of this letter in to-day's
Chronicle, leaving to the public to decide whether or not I
have fallen into "an unfortunate mistake."—l have the
honour to be, sir, your obedient servant,
JOLT B. SCANDELLA, V.A.

The Gibraltar Chronicle, in another part of that
same day's impression, unconvinced by the above
cogent reasons of the R. C. Bishop, reiterates its
advocacy of Routine and Red Tape to the last ex-
tremity.

ENGLISH FACTORY EMIGRANTS. —The Boston
Traveller says :—The steamer Bosphorus, Capt. Alexander,
of Warren and Co.'s Liverpool line, which arrived hero
(Boston) yesterday morning, Sept. 28th, brought about 200
male and female factory operatives from England, who
were procured there by agents sent out for that purpose
from this country. Of this party 50 or more were for H. H.
and J. S. Brown, of the Fisherville (New Hampshire) Mills,
and the remainder were for two or three mills at Lawrence,
Massachusetts. The steamer Propontis, of the same line,
which arrived a fow weeks since, brought about 100 for the
same parties in Lawrence. Mr. Squire Farrand, au English
factory operative, who was. sent out by Messrs. 11. H. and
J. S. Brown, returned in the Bosphorus, and accompanied
the emigrants to New Hampshire. Tho emigrants aro de-
scribed as a first-class set of passengers, clean, and very
steady. in their habits. Tho majority of the operatives
came from Lancashire. The Lawrance party were met at
the wharf by several gentlemen from the mills in this city,
who procured tickets for and accompanied thorn to Low-
rance. The operatives, it is said, aro excellent workers,
and were selected with great care. Another lot is 'expected
by the next steamer.

* Persons of authority assure mo that in Spain, when-
ever there are reasons of a general maim affecting the
nation at large for public prayers or for a Ts Deum, the ini-
tiative then rests with the Crown ; but that, when the
cause is special, affecting only a particular locality, then
the bishops give the necessary instructions and invite the
authorities to assist at the function.

They have " lady lecturers" in this country as
well as in America. Mrs. Roe, the Mayoress of Derby,
delivered the other day a lecture on the Education of Girls
at the Lecture-hall, Derby. The lecture is very highly
spoken of by those who were privileged to hear it.

AN EXECUTIONER WANTED.—The Havana papers
contain a singular official announcement from the office of
the Secretary of the Supreme Court, that for fifteen days
proposals would .be received from persons of color for the
position of public executioner—that office being vacant.
The successful candidate, if a free negro, will have a salary
of $9O per mouth, and the usual hangman's fees ; if a
slave, he must produce his master's permission to fill the
office, and must lodge at the gaol, with only half the wages.
COTTON GROWERS' ASSOCIATION.—It has been
suggested, in the view of a short supply of cotton next
year—and probably for years to come if its cultivation is
not specially promoted in the South—that au organisation
similar to that established in England, and known as the
Manchester Cotton Growers' Association, should be got
up in the New England States, whose operatives, in con-
junction with the Southern planters, would do much to
increase and bring back to its old productive standard the
cotton growth in the South.
COMMERCE IN TIIE SOUTII.—It is stated that the
St. Louis and New Orleans tonnage, now over 40,000 tons,
is 83 per cent. in excess of that of 1859. The Ohio river
tonnage has increased 50 per cent. and the Missouri river
50 per cent. since that time.
It is given as an on dit that Gen. John B. Hood,
late of the Confederate army, is to lead to the altar the
daughter of Gen. Preston.
