QUEENSTOWN, SAT"ItRDAY NIGHT.
The Cunard mail steamer Arabia, from Boston the
12th and Halifax the 14th inst., has arrived.
A Washington letter contains the following in
reference to the mission of Lord Lyons :
" Whatever may be the suppositions produced
by the arrival of Lord Lyons in America, it is now
almost certain that he does not bring with him any
message calculated to disturb at present the good
relations existing between this country and Euro-
pean Powers. It is said, however, that he will, as
a matter of private opinion, warn Mr. Lincoln of
the tendencies of foreign Cabinets and point out to
him the circumstances likely to bring them to re-
cognise the South. According to information ob-
tained from a most reliable source it would seem
that both the English and French Governments
had, in the beginning of the last month, arrived at
the conclusion that the time had come to take into
serious consideration the question of the recognition
of the South. It was to that end that the departure
of Lord Lyons, which had been decided upon for
the 11th October, was postponed to the 25th. Dur-
ing those 15 days, however, came the news of our
victory at Perryville, which considerably modified
the dispositions of the English Cabinet, and the
change of the Minister of Foreign Affairs in France,
which naturally postponed in the French Council
all things connected with American affairs. All
these circumstances combined, together with the ap-
proaching elections inAmerica, which were presented
to Lord Russell as being calculated to have a power-
ful effect upon our home policy, induced him, as well
as Lord Palmerston, to let things go a little longer as
they are and wait for further developments. Conse-
quently the Cabinet Council which they had ap-
pointed for the purpose of giving definitive instruc-
tions to Lord Lyons was not held, and his Excel-
lency was allowed to leave London as he came,. It
is now believed that the Cabinet will not take any
step concerning the recognition of the South till
the meeting of the next Parliament, which takes
place in the beginning of February."
The removal of General M'Clellan has caused
great excitement everywhere, but it is denied that
in the army the feeling has amounted to disaffec-
tion. From the headquarters of the army the fol-
lowing is the report received :
" Headquarters of the Army of the Potomac,
Salem, Virginia, Nov. 8, 12 o'clock, Noon.

"The order relieving Major-General M'Clellan
from the command of the Army of the Potomac was
received at headquarters at 11 o'clock last night.
It was entirely unexpected to all, and therefore
every one was taken by surprise.

" On its receipt the command was immediately
turned over to General Burnside. General M'Clel-
lan and his staff will leave to-morrow for Trenton,
where he is ordered to report. The order was de-
livered to him by General Buckingham in person.
" The last official act of General M'Clellan was
the issuing of an address to his soldiers, informing
them in a few words that his command had de-
volved on General Burnside, and taking an affec-
tionate leave of them."

The Washington despatch is as follows :
" General M'Clellan has been superseded, and
General Burnside appointed in his place.
" The latter positively refused to take command
after Pope's defeat, and recommended the appoint-
ment of M'Clellan.

" As General Hooker is to take the field, it is sup-
posed that he is to take Burnside's place as late
commander of corps d'armee.
"It was known here that the Radicals had boasted
that M'Clellan was to be removed immediately after
the New York election.

" Great excitement prevailed in the city to-night
in consequence of the report that General M'Clellan
had been superseded."
No official explanation is given, but among the
Republican newspapers military reasons are as-
signed for the change, and, as a part of the history,
a letter from General Halleck to Secretary Stanton
and a despatch from General M'Clellan to General
Meigs are published :

" GENERAL HALLECK TO THE SECRETARY OF WAR.
"Head-quarters of the Army, Washington,
Oct. 28.

" Sir,—ln reply to the general interrogatories
contained in your letter of yesterday, I have to
report :

"1. That requisitions for supplies to the army
under General M'Clellar, are made by Staff officers
on the chiefs of bureaus here—that is, for quarter-
master's supplies by his chief quartermaster on the
Quartermaster-General; for commissary supplies
by his chief commissary on the Commiass.ry-Gene-
ral, No such requisitions have been, to my
knowledge, made upon the Secretary of War, and
none upon the General-in-Chief.
" 2. On several occasions General M'Clellan has
telegraphed to me that his army was deficient in
certain supplies. All these telegrams were imme-
diately referred to the head of bureaus, with orders
to report.
"It was ascertained that in every instance the
requisitions had been immediately filled except one,
where the Quartermaster-General had been obliged
to send from Philadelphia certain articles of cloth-
ing, tents, &c., not having a full supply here. There
has not been, so far as I could ascertain, any neglect
or delay in any department or bureau in issuiug all
supplies asked for by General M'Clellan or by the
officers of his Staff. Delays have occasionally oc-
curred in forwarding supplies by rail on account of
the crowded condition of the depots or of a want of
cars ; but, whenever notified of this, agents have
been sent out to remove the difficulty. Under the
excellent superintendence of General Haupt I think
these delays have been less frequent and of shorter
duration than is usual with freight trains. An army
of the size of that under General M'Clellan will
frequently be for some days without the supplies
asked for, on account of neglect in making timely
requisitions and unavoidable delays in forwarding
them and in distributing them to the different bri-
gades and regiments. From all the information I
can obtain, I am of opinion that the requisitions from
that army have been filled more promptly, and that
the men, as a general rule, have been better sup-
plied, than our armies operating in the west. The
latter have operated at much greater distances from
the sources of supply, and have had far less facili •
ties of transportation. In fine, I believe that no
armies in the world, while in campaign, have been
more promptly or better supplied than ours.
" 3. Soon after the battle of Antietam General
M'Clellan was urged to give me information of his
intended movements, in order that, if he moved be-
tween the enemy and Washington, reinforcements
could be sent from this place. On the Ist of Octo-
ber, finding that he purposed to operate from Har-
t

"5. On the 7th of October, in a telegram in re-
gard to his intended movements. Gen. M'Clella
stated that it would require at least three days ton
supplythe Ist, sth, and 6th Corps ; that they needed
shoes and other indispensable articles of clothing, as
well as shelter tents. No complaint was mode that
any requisitions had not been filled, and it was in_
ferred from his language that he was only Waiting

" On the 18th Gen. M'Clellan stated, in regard to
Gen. Meigs's reports, that he had filled every requi-
sition for shoes and clothing, Gen. Meigs may have
ordered those articles to be forwarded, but they
have not reached our depots, and unless greater
effort to insure prompt transmission is made by the
department of which Gen. Meigs is the head, they
might as well remain in New York or Philadelphia
as far as this army is concerned.' I immediately
called General_ Meigs's attention to this apparent
neglect of his department. On the 25th he reported
as the result of }pis investigation that 48,000 pairs
of boots and shoes had been received by the Quar-
termaster of Gen. M'Clellan's army at Harper's
Ferry, Frederick, and Hagerstown ; that 20,000
pairs were at Harper's Ferry depot on 21st; that
10,000 more were on their way, and 15,000 more
ordered. Col.lngalls, aidedecamp and chief quarter.
master to Gen. M'Clellan, telegraphed on the 25th
—' The suffering for want of clothing is exagge-
rated, I think, and certainly might have been
avoided by timely requisitions of regiment .1 and
brigade commanders.' On the 24th he telegraphed
to the Quartermaster-General that the clothing was
not detained in cars at the depots. Such com-
plaints are groundless. The fact is, the clothing
arrives and is issued, but more is still wanted. I
have ordered more than would seem necessary from
any data furnished me, and I beg to remind you
that you have always very promptly met all my re-
quisitior.s as far as clothing is concerned. Our
depot is not at fault; it provides as soon as due
notice is given. I foresee no time when an army
of over 100,000 men will not call for clothing and
other articles.'

"In regard to General M'Clellan's means of
promptly communicating the wants of his army to
me or to the proper bureaus of the War Department
I report that, in addition to the ordinary mails, he
has been in hourly communication with Washing-
ton by telegraph.
"It is due to General Meige that I should submit
herewith a copy of a telegram received by him from
General M'Clellan.

" Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
" H. W. HALLECK, General-in-Chief."
" GENERAL M'CLELLAN TO GENERAL MEIGS.

quarter.]

" To Brigadier-General Mei
this date is received. I have never intended in any
letter or despatch to make any accusation against
yourself or your department for not furnishing or
forwarding clothing as rapidly as it was possible
for you to do. 1 believe that everything has been
done that could be done in this respect. The idea
that I have tried to convey was that certain por-
tions of the command were without clothing, and
the army could not move until it was supplied.
"G. B. M'CLELLAN, Major-General."
A despatch of the 10th from the head-quarters
says :

General M'Clellan was to have left yesterday
for the North, but the transferring of a command
like this could not be accomplished in a day, and he
was thereforce compelled to remain. At 9 o'clock
last evening all the officers belonging to head-quar-
ters assembled at the General's tent to bid him fare-
well. The only toast given was by General M'Clel-
lan—"The Army of the Potomac.' General 11ITlel-
lan and Staff, accompanied by General Burnside,
to-day bade farewell to this army, visiting in suc-
cession several army corps. As the General rode
through the ranks the torn and tattered banners of
the veteran regiments were dipped to greet him,
while the thousands of soldiers gave vent in con-
tinuous rounds of cheers and applause to their
feelings. The General and Staff will leave by special
train to-morrow for the North."

The following order was issued by General Burn-
side on taking command of the army
In accordance with General Orders No. 182,
issued by the President of the United States, I
hereby assume command of the army of the Potomac.
Patriotism and the exercise of my every energy in
the direction of this army, aided by the full and
hearty co-operation of its officers and men, will, I
hope, under the blessing of God, insure its success.
" Having been a sharer of the privations and a
witness of the bravery of the old Army of the
Potomac in the Maryland campaign, and fully iden-
tified with them in their feeling of respect and
esteem for General M'Clellan, entertained through
a long and most friendly association with him, I
feel that it is not as a stranger I assume command.
"To the Ninth Artny Corps, so long and inti-
mately associated with me I need say nothing. Our
histories are identical.

" With diffidence for myself, but with a proud
confidence in the unswerving loyalty and determi-
nation of the gallant army now intrusted to my
care, I accept its control, with the steadfast
assurance that the just cause must prevail.
" A. E. BURNSIDE, Major-General Commanding."

A Washington letter of the 11th says :

" Major• General M'Clellan and personal staff left
Warrenton at 11 o'clock to-day. On reaching
Warrenton Junction a salute was fired. The troops
which had been drawn up in line, afterwards broke
ranks, when the soldiers crowded around him,
and many eagerly called for a few parting words.
He said in response, while on the platform of the
railroad depot :---‘ I wish you to stand by General
Burnside as you have stood by me, and all will be
well. Good bye.'
"To this was a spontaneous and enthusiastic
response. The troops were also drawn up in line
at Bristow Station and Manassas Junction, where
salutes were fired and where M'Clellan was com-
plimented with enthusiastic cheers. The party
arrived here this afternoon just in time to take
the five o'clock train for Trenton. The cars
being detained owing to some impediment
on the track, General M'Clellan was recognised
by the many soldiers quartered in that vicinity,
when he was greeted with oft-repeated cheers.
The following farewell order was read to the troops
composing the army of the Potomac yesterday
morning on dress parade :

" The removal of Gen. M'Clellan has produced
the most intense excitement in this city. It is al-
most the sole topic of conversation everywhere. The
Radicals assert that this removal is based upon a
report made by Gen. Halleck representing that
Gen. M'Clellan had persisted in disobeying orders
and misrepresenting the condition of his army in
regard to supplies of clothing and subsistence. The
friends of Gen. M'Clellan declare that his removal
was agreed upon before the recent elections and is
a part of the programme of the Radicals to obtain
the control of the armies in the field. It is unfor-
tunate for the Administration that this removal has
been made at this time without a promulgation to
the country of sufficient reasons for it. It is asserted
that upon every occasion when Gen. M'Clellan was
upon the eve of a decisive battle—one which would
t 3 a great extent settle the whole question now in
issue between the Government and the rebels—he
has been prevented from striking the blow by the
interference of the Government. In this instance he
was certainly pushing forward with unwonted ra-
padity, and actually astonishing the country by
the promptness of the movements of his army and
the celerity of its progress. It is believed that a ge-
neral and decisive engagement, must occur very
soon, and may take place at any moment, and the
removal of the General in command under these
circumstances, without any apparent reason there-
fore, except political manceuvres, has aroused a
feeling in the community which is portentous. The
intensity of the excitement here cannot well be de-
scribed. It extends to all classes of people, and
manifests itself in a sternness of determination
which forebodes a terrible expression of public
indignation. It is said by those who are presumed
to have opportunities of knowing, that this bold
act of the Administration is but the beginning
of the end, and that what is to follow will be
still more startling. Many express the opinion that
a disruption of the Cabinet will immediately en-
sue. There is reason to believe that the removal
of General M'Clellan was without the sanction of
either Mr. Seward or Mr. Blair, and that it has
inaugurated a conflict between the Conservative and
Radical portions of the Cabinet which must termi-
nate in the withdrawal or expulsion of one or the
other party. This result is anxiously looked for,
and the expectation of greater events is perhaps all
that serves at present to prevent some open ex-
pression of popular dissatisfaction."

In reference to the statement that General
M'Clellan was to be put forward as the Democratic
candidate at the next Presidential election, the
Boston Post of the 12th observes :

" The Radicals say that General M'Clellan is
considered the Democratic candidate for the next
Presidency. Nobody but the Radicals affirm this,
however, and they lie so easily and generally their
testimony is good f r nothing. He has held all
his official positions since the rebellion broke out at
the solicitation of the Republicans. He was ap-
pointed from Ohio by Republicans—called to
Washington by the President, without desire on
his part or recommendation from any political party
—was placed at the head of the army by Mr. Lin-
corn and a Republican Senate without political
recommendation or personal solicitation—took the
field for the advance on Richmond at the President's
order—returned by the same authority—was de-
prived of his army and again urged to resume com-
mand by the Constitutional Commander-in-Chief,
and again relieved from service by the same high
functionary. Democrats have had nothing to do
with all this ; they have only asked for fair play,
and if the treatment he has received, like the abuse
the same set of men heaped upon General Jackson,
should so excite the indignation of the honest citi-
zens of the nation as to induce them to elect him
their next President, it would not be the most
remarkable thing that ever happened. But Demo-
, crats have nominated no candidate, or determined
whom they will nominate, yet whoever they do
select as their candidate will be chosen, and a ma-
jority of the Republicans will be glad of it, however
much the Radicals may gnash their teeth."
The following are the despatch es relative to the
military operations of the army of the Potomac:—
, " Washington, Nov. 11_

" Accounts from Manassas Junction to-day say
the railroad is in good order from Catlett's station
to Warrenton Junction, including the Cedar Run-
bridge, and all the way up to the Rappahannocit
station. Contrabands coming into our lines at
Rappahannock station report Longstreet in com-
mand. The rebel forces are at Culpepper, and Gen.
Lee, who commands the whole rebel army, also has
his head-quarters there. They say General A. P.
Hill's force continues with Jackson somewhere in
the valley, and Longstreet's force and the others at
Culpepper were thrown there to prevent the Union
army from getting between the main body of the
rebel army and Richmond. They say that on Sa-
turday last Jackson's army was not moving to-
wards Culpepper. Scouts from Ashby's Gap and
Snicker's Gap yesterday reported the enemy's
pickets at both, and a Union lady sent to our lines
under a flag of truce says General Hill's were two
days before on the other side of the Gap."

" Washington, Nov. 11.
" A correspondent of the Associated Press at head-
quarters of the Army of the Potomac reports that
a small force of the enemy's cavalry made their ap-
pearance yesterday morning at Salem, which is 13
miles from Warrenton. They were hovering on the
rear of our army, evidently watching our move-
ments, and to cut of the transportation of supplies.
The information received respecting the rebel army
shows that A. P. and D. P. Hill's commands were
encamped in and around Culpepper Court-house
yesterday ; that Longstreet's command lies be-
tween Culpepper and Gordonsville, while Jackson
holds Chester and Manassas Gap. There was heavy
firing in the front yesterday between Pleasanton
and Stuart, but the result was of no importance.
General Bayard still remains at Rappahannock
Station, with the enemy in force on the opposite
side of the river. The troops are in a comfortable
and healthful condition, being well clothed, and
having ample supplies of food."
The following Southern news is given in a
Washington letter of the 9th :
"I have news from Richmond up to the 6th.
Gen. Lee arrived in Richmond about two weeks ago,
and has been there ever since. He has resumed his
position as. General Commanding-in-Chief, and acts
as military adviser to the War Department. Gen.
Joe Johnston succeeds General Lee in the active

A despatch from Louisville, of the 9th, says :
" There was no assault on Nashville up to Fri-
day evening. Nothing has been heard :Of General
Polk. On Wednesday night the rebel pickets
.on •
the Murfreesboro,M‘Minnville, and Franklin Pikes
commenced skirmishing. Eight hundred of Stokes!s
cavalry charged upon Starn's cavalry, and droveL
them within five miles of Franklin. Meanwhile,
a rebel force, supposed to be Morgan's, made a dash
on the new railroad bridge north of Nashville, but
were repulsed. Union loss in the various skirmishes
one killed,l3 wounded,and three missing. M'Cook's
advance reached Nashville on the afternoon of the
6th. It is reported that the rebels have evacuated
Murfreesboro and M'Minnville and gone to Chatta-
nooga ; also that General Joseph E. Johnson had
arrived at Chattanooga and assumed command
of the Department of Tennessee and North Ala-
bama. Breckinridge's command is at Chattanooga.
Deserters from the rebel army say Bragg was
obliged to destroy most of the property captured by
his forces in Kentucky to prevent its falling into
Buell's hands."

The New York Tribune has a special despatch,
dated Nashville, Tennessee, the 11th :
" General Rosecrans and staff arrived last night,
having left Bowling Green at 6 o'clock yesterday
morning, on the train to Mitchellsville, making the
remainder of the trip (40 miles) on horseback, with-
out interruption by guerillas. The forests were
blazing along the greater portion of the route, and
many dwellings had been destroyed. The country
looks painfully desolate, the inhabitants' forage and
stock being nearly all gone. The reports about the
starving situation of Nashville were fanciful. About
30,000 bushels of corn and other substantials were
in store when Gen. M'Cook's corps arrived. The
recent attack of the enemy was a reconnaissance and
feint to enable Morgan's guerillas to destroy the
railroad bridges. We lost about 30 in killed and
wounded in the attack. M'Cook has driven most
of the guerillas clear back from the city. The enemy
are still in considerable force at Murfreesboro, but
they are retreating as rapidly as possible beyond
the Tennessee River, destroying everything as they
retire. A supply train of 100 waggons arrived from
Mitchellsville last night. Gen. Rosecrans occupied
the old head-quarters of Gen. Buell."
The Navy Department has received voluminous
despatches from Rear-Admiral Farragut, dated
Pensacola Bay, Oct. 1.5. After stating that Galve-
ston, Corpus Christi, Sabine City, and the adjacent
waters are now in possession of the Federal forces,
he says :

"A short time ago I sent down the Coast of Texas
acting volunteer Lieutenant J. W. Kittridge,
with the barque Arthur, the little steamer
Sabine, and a launch, with which force he said
he could take Corpus Christi and the adjacent
waters, where we heard of so many small craft
running to Havanbah. He succeeded very well
—took the place, made several captures, and com-
pelled the enemy to burn several of their vessels.
But on one occasion, venturing on shore with his
small boat, he was surrounded and taken prisoner,
and carried to Houston, where they paroled him on
condition that he should go north and not serve
until regularly exchanged. I next sent the Ken-
sington, Acting-Master Crocker commanding, with
a howitzer, with the Rachel Seaman and a launch
with a howitzer, to Sabine Pass. He, too, succeeded
well. He found at the bar one of the mortar
schooners, Acting-Master Pennington commanding,
whom he invited to take part with him, which he
did, and, according to Acting-Master Crocker's re-
port, performed his duty with great credit. They
took the fort, and are still going ahead finely,
having taken several prizes, one of which arrived
here yesterday with despatches. I next sent Com-
modore Renshawe, with the gunboats Owasco,
Harriet Lane, Clifton, and Westfield, to take Gal-
veston, which he did in the shortest time, and with-
out the loss of a man. It appears that the first shot
from the Owasco exploded directly over the heads
of the men at and around the big gun, their main
reliance, and the enemy left. A flag of truce was
hoisted, and the preliminaries arranged for a sur-
render, which took place on the 9th inst. Corpus
Christi and the adjoining waters are still held by
the Sachem and other small vessels."

The Richmond Examiner of the Bth, speaking of
the results of the Northern election, says :

" These astonishing manifestations from the North
convey the idea of an emphatic and impressive popu-
lar verdict against the Abolition faction which has
ruled the Government at Washington. The Northern
papers attempt to lessen the value of the results of
the election in the eyes of the South. The value,
however, is determined by the circumstance that
the principal idea on which the recent canvass in
the North was conducted was that the Democrats
were a peace party in disguise, and with this issue
thrust in their faces, the people of the three most
powerful States in the North have given unprece-
dented majorities to the Democratic candidates, and
a blow to the Abolitionists at the ballet boxes that
will stagger them into the background."

The Examiner says .--
" The prospects of European intervention have dis-
solved like a snow wreath. But a short time ago
there were hopeful indications that England and
France were about to take some action in this war
that would be favourable to the South. This opinion
was reflected not only in the journals of the enemy
but in the minds of intelligent foreigners this side
the Atlantic. It is known that on the strength of
the calculation of our national existence being early
recognised by England and France transactions have
been made to some extent by foreign capitalists in
Confederate bonds at 86 cents. on the dollar. There
is, however, no mistaking the significance of the
speech speech of the British Secretary of War, in
which he
asserts that the South has not as yet accomplished
her independence, and must be regarded as a belli-
gerent holding an uncertain position in an undecided
war. The British Government will in no way and
at no time during the continuance of this war recog-
nise the Southern Confederacy as one of the inde-
pendent powers
the duration
of the earth, oe interfere to limit
of this war."

" War Department, Adjutant-General's-office,

" General Orders, No. 183.

"1. The Military Commission, of which Major-General
David Hunter, United States Volunteers, is President, ap-
pointed to meet in the city of Washington on the 25th of
September, pursuant to Special Orders, No. 225, of the 23d
of September, 1862, to investigate the circumstances of the
abandonment of the Maryland Heights, and the surrender
of Harper's Perry, have reported that Col. Thos. H. Ford,
of the 32d Ohio Volunteers, conducted the defence of Mary-
land Heights without ability, abandoned Lig position with-
out sufficient cause, and has shown throughout such lack
of military capacity as to disqualify him in the estimation

There is a slight panic in the Stock-market,
various unfavourable rumours being current, that
Gen. Burnside has been defeated, and that the Con-
federates again occupy Harper's Ferry. These
rumours cannot be traced to reliable sources.

Gen. M'Clellan's parade address to the army is
short. He says that he and the army will always
be comrades in supporting the constitution of the
country. The general has retired to Trenton, New
Jersey.

The Confederate pickets still show themselves on
the Virginia side of the Potomac, between Point of
Rocks and Berlin.

" Stonewall" Jackson's whole column is at Front
Royal, with the excption of 2,000 men remaining
in the Shenandoah Valley.

The Federal General RosencFanz has arrived at
Nashville. The communication be ween Nashville
and the North is restored. The Confederates have
retired southward from Nashville, but there is no
truth in the reported capture of Mobile, or in the
surrender of Confederates in South Carolina.

The Secretary of the Treasury has obtained a
loan from the Bank of 12,000,000 dole. for 15 days,
until the loan advertised for is awarded. This has
tightened the money market, thereby causing a
heavy fall in speculative stocks.
The steamer Champion, with 700,000 do's., has
arrived at New York from Aspinwall.
The New York and the City of Baltimore have
arrived out. The Europa passed Cape Race upon
the 10th inst.

AMERICAN SYMPATBY WITH 7HE LAN-

CASHIRE OPERA7IVES.

On every occasion, without, so far as we have ob-
served, a solitary exception, the utterances of the
operatives and working men of England and Scot-
land—the classes which are by far the most affected
by the war, have been of the same kind, and have
uniformly expressed a deep sympathy with the
cause which, they secretly feel, is the cause of the
people and of themselves, after all. Orators
explain to them that intervention will bring
cotton to the mills, work to their hands,
bread to themselves and their starving families.
And the operatives all declare against intervention.
Adroit secession agents and secession newspapers
tell them of the enmity for them and their country
entertained in the North, of the infernal glee with.
which the northern people contemplate their suf-
ferings, and of the malign purpose of the North to
insult, harass, and subject them to untold woes for
years to come. And, feeling that this must all be
false, they applaud once more for the Union and the
North. We suggest whether it would not be well
for the American people to give some substantial
expression of the sympathy entertained for these
our only friends in England, in:this their day of ter-
rible distress. For terrible, indeed, their sufferings
now are. The accounts which reach us from Lan-
cashire and other manufacturing districts of the pre-
vailing and spreading want, famine, and suffering
are heartrending. The number of unemployed per-
sons now receiving charitable relief in Lancashire
alone is close upon 200,000. The amount of wages
of which the poor of the district are deprived, by
the stoppage of mills, is over half a million dollars a
week. But figures can give no conception whatever
of the extent and depth of the pervading want.
Every week now, too, it becomes worse. The appli-
cants for relief increase in awful ratio. The cold,
dismal, dreaded winter is upon them, and it seems
almost hopeless to try to keep thousands from posi-
tive starvation. The employers of these unfortu-
nate men have done wall in aiding them. And they
have been assisted by the wealth of England. The
colonies have contributed munificently. Montreal,

woes has reached practical sympathy has been
evoked. But all is insufficient. The distress still
grows, and more aid is called for. Would it not be
a magnificent thing for the people of these States,
even in this, our great day of national trial,
to send
these our poor friends in England, a co •
contribution-- offer them a ship load of corn and wheat out of
the God-given bounties of our land ? Our country
is rent by an unprecedented war, but it could spare
a gift of a hundred shiploads of produce. And we
cannot believe that the Confederate pirates which
the English have let loose upon our commerce
would burn or sink any one of these bounty ships.
Send over the ship with the American flag at its
peak, and let its benefactions be bestowed upon our
suffering and famine-stricken friends with a boun-
teous hand.—New York Times.

The central committee in the Belgian Chamber
of Deputies, charged with the examination of the credit of
500,000 f. for the department of the Interior, to aid the per-
sons suffering from the cotton crisis, assembled the day
before yesterday, and declared in favour of it by six votes
to one.

A curious instance of opposition has taken place
at Pisa between the Government and the Party of Action.
We stated yesterday that during the night a marble slab
had been set up at the spot where Garibaldi was landed,
commemorating that event, and mentioning that ho
was wounded at Aspromonte. That circumstance
was considered by the authorities as intended to cast a slur
upon the army, and on the following day a picket of car-
bincers was sent to pull down the slab, and put another in
its stead, with the same inscription; except the words :
"wounded at Aspromonte." But, lo I notwithstanding
the vigilance of the police, on the night after the Govern-
ment slab was taken away and one identical with the first
one put in its stead. The correspondent of the Opinion* of
Turin, who relates this, says that the while the carbineers
were at work, Mme. Mario (Miss White) might be seen at
the window of the hotel inhabited by the General, watching
them in great apparent agitation.
