against him, and even a talk of impeachment when
Congress meets. Impeachment for what ? may be
asked. For restoring tranquillity and order,
for elevating civil above military law, for,
resuscitating trade and commerce, and in-
spiring men with some hope and confidence in the
American future. The real ground of offence is
that President JOHNSON resists the desire of the
New England party to parcel out the vast territories
of the South among the " loyal " Northerners and
freed blacks. They cannot accuse him of abandon-
ing the Union nor of upholding slavery, for aboli-
tion has been made, a sine qua non of reconstruction.
As for the negro suffrage, that is a matter which
all prudent men feel had better be left to time.
America has had enough, in all conscience, of sudden
and violent changes ; she now wants peace internally
and externally to allow the troubled elements which
have been stirred up during the long period of un-
paralleled commotion to subside into quietude and
order. It will be necessary to teach the negroes
how to use their freedom and their new-found inde-
pendence before they can be instructed in political
knowledge ; and unless they are excited by fana-
tics, who stir them up by inflammatory language,
it is not likely that any considerable portion of the
liberated slaves care much about the possession of
the suffrage. If it iswished to establish freed negroes
permanently in the South, it would be surely wiser
to allow the whites and blacks to grow accustomed
to living on equal terms, and to learn mutual re-
spect and forbearance before they are forced into a
sudden and at present unsuitable political equality.
The negro question is likely, thanks to the mistaken
conduct of some fanatical politicians, to be Ame-
rica's difficulty for some time to come, and there
are even rumours of a very wide-spread disaffection
among the negroes, and some threatening symp-
toms of insubordination and armed combination
among them. Any such outbreak would, no
doubt, be promptly checked, but it would be
in every sense most deplorable. It would
incense the whites against the blacks,
it would put the most formidable obstacles in the
way of the negro, and would probably, by its scenes
of violence and bloodshed, renew the old conflict
between the North and South in feeling and in ar-
gument, if not in action. All must hope and pray
that such a catastrophe may be averted, and, no
doubt, the authorities will take care to be well-in-
formed of the proceedings of the negroes in the
several Southern States. If those politicians who
call themselves the particular friends of the negro
would really forward his interests, they will strive
to calm his excitability, they will teach him reason
and prudence, and while helping him to prove he is
worthy of political privileges, they will take the
most humane as well as the most constitutional
means of enabling him to obtain them.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY,
PESTH, OCT. 10 (Evening).

The Pesti Naplo of to-day, in an article upon the
rumoured dissolution of the Committee of Control
for the Management of the Public Debt, elected by
the Reichsrath, states that this measure is not in-
sisted upon by Hungary, since she is in no way in-
terested in the committee. The Pesti Naplo admits
that since the Imperial manifesto of Sept. 20 it be-
comes a legal impossibility for the committee to
continue its functions ; but for Hungary it is en-
tirely indifferent whether it continues to exist or
not. A constitutional control over the finances can
only be obtained by a real national representation
of the Empire, and not by any fiction of such re-
presentation.
Great agitation prevails to-day in Pesth, on ac-
count of the meeting of the Committee of the
Comitat of Pesth, in which the electoral question
is being discussed.

" His expressions," continues the Giornale di Roma,

a veto which would not have been regarded. This
declaration applies to the journals which have

Shipwrecks—Lifeboat Services.

CAISTER, near YARMOUTH, Tuesday Night.

The old lifeboat (writes the Rev. G. W. Steward)
is finishing her course of good service gloriously, and
in a manner worthy of herself and of the men who
have manned her so often under circumstances of
varied risk and peril. Last night about seiren
o'clock two gunswere fired, and rockets were thrown
up from the Cockle Floating-Light, a little to the
northward of Caister. The night was dark and
rainy, and a strong wind was blowing from about
E.S.E. with a good deal of sea on the beach. The
b ca-,aimen launched the Caister lifeboat of the Na-
tional Institution without a moment's loss of time
and on their way to the Cockle Light, about half a
mile to the N. W. of it, they fell in with a brig of
about 100 tons at anchor close by the breakers
of the Cockle Sand. Approaching her as near as
they could, and ascertaining that she wanted
assistance, they bore away, let go their anchor, and
wore to the ship, which they found had run foul of
the floating light. The ship had carried away a
part of her bulwarks and her port main rigging, and
three of her crew had jumped on board,‘"the light.
The beachmen, having got to the vessel with much
difficulty, put six of the lifeboat's crew aboard the
ship, slipped her anchor, and took her over the
north end of the Cockle Sand, following her with
the lifeboat through a heavy sea, which at times
nearly threw the ship on her beam-ends. Having
brought her up in Hemsby Hole, they anchored and
waited till daylight, when they went off with the
life-boat to the Cockle Light and brought the three
men who they learnt had jumped on to the light
vessels. Caister, one of them, was afterwards
taken to Yarmouth Hospital, his foot being badly
crushed. The ship was taken in to the roads, and,
I believe, into Yarmouth harbour, by a steam-tug.
The name of the brig is the Kathleen of Hartlepool
from Fecamp in France, with coals.
TYNEMOUTH, NORTHUMBERLAND,
Tuesday Night.

Another sad catastrophe has occurred at the
mouth of the Tyne (says P. J. Messent, Esq., C.E.)e
An old brig, the Medora, of South Shields, laden
with coals, on entering during a very heavy gale
from E.S.E., and high sea, had her stern bulwarks
and stearing gear, and probably part of the lower
stern knocked away just before reaching the bar.
She then became unmanageable. and after a few
minutes sunk without apparently striking the
ground at all, taking with her all hands, I fear,
about seven men. The Tynemouth (the Con-
stance) lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Insti-
tution was promptly launched as soon as the
danger of the vessel was observed, but it was
found impossible to take her across the Channel
on account of the strong northerly set of the ebb
tide. The three Shields lifeboats were also out,
but could not go through the tremendous seas,
although they had the tide in their favour, while it
threatened to take the Constance out to sea beyond
the wreck. The Constance encountered some very
violent seas, but would have been able to reach the
vessel in time had it been flood instead of ebb tide.
The wreck occurred at 10 a.m. The sea is still
very heavy, and I fear further disasters, although
a great many vessels had entered safely.

Lifeboat at Portsmouth.

- -

Yesterday the lifeboat which was recently sent to
Hayling Island was brought round to Portsmouth.
Preceded by the band of the sth Hants Rifles, the
lifebqat was taken through the principal streets, the
mayor and other influential persons taking part in
the proceedings. The boat was subsequently taken
to Southsea, and was there launched off the beach
in the presence of a large number of persons. The
boat was about a fortnight ago cent to Hayling
Island, when the Bishop of Chichester named it
the " Olive Leaf," the boat being the gift of
Messrs. Leaf, Sons, and Co., to the National Life-
boat Institution. The bishop was afterwards pre-
sented by the institution with a fine photograph of
a lifeboat like the " Olive Leaf" going off to a
wreck. In acknowledging its receipt he sent the
following characteristic acknowledgment of the
same :

"Palace, Chichester, Oct. 3, 1865.

" beg gratefully to acknowledge the safe receipt
of the interesting and beautiful photograph of one of the
boats of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution going off
to a wreck, presented to me in so compliMentary a manner
tif the committee of that institution. I value it highly,
and shall endeavour to preserve it as an instructive and
encouraging representation of the way in which your in-
stitution shows our seafaring population that their lands-
men brothers are not insensible or regardless of their diffi-
culties and dangers, but will always assist to provide for
their preservation the most approved appliances that
science and art can suggest. The day of the launch of
your boat, the " Olive Leaf," at Hayling Island, was a
joyous day for your institution, and an augury, I trust, of
many a triumph of life saved by God's merciful owning of
human efforts, amid the threatenings of roaring winds and
angry waves.—l have, &c., "A. J. CHICHESTER.

Lifeboat Institution."

DISEASE OF SILKWORMS.—The Minister of Agri-
culture having requested M. Pasteur to turn his
attention to the disease of silkworms, which does not ap-
pear to have abated in any perceptible degree, the learned
physiologist last week presented a paper to the Academy
on the subject. After premising that the question was
entirely new to him, ho stated that on the 7th Juno last he
arrived at Alais, where he selected a Kokh, or silkworm
nursery, for his observations. He had been particularly
struck with a fact mentioned in M. de Quatrefages's work
on the subject, viz., that in the body of the diseased
silkworm the microscope reveals certain particles
considered by most authors as a symptom of the disorder.
Those corpuscles exist in profusion in certain worms that
cannot spin •their cocoon, and especially in the adipose
matter situated under the skin, and in the silk-producing
organs. The chrysalides and butterflies offered the same
appearances. The worms afflicted with those black spots
from which the disease has derived the name of pebrine
also contained an immenoe number of the corpuscles.
M. Pasteur was particularly struck with one circum-
stance, which seems to have escaped the attention of
former observers. In one of the rooms of the Bokh,
Japanese silk wormr, received from the Socidte d'Acclimata-
tion, hid been feared with such remarkable success that
the eggs obtained from 35 kilogrammes of the cocoons spun
had been collected for propagation. In a second room,
on the contrary, there were indeed Japanese silkworms
also, but bought by a private dealer ; they were all dis-
eased. And yet, in examining the chrysalides and butter-
flies of the successful brood, M. Pasteur found every
one of them affected with the corpuscles, while the worms
of the bad lot had scarcely any. Hence our author arrives
at the conclusion that the disease properly affects the
chrysalis and butterfly, and not the worm ; and that con-
sequently the efforts of entomologists and physiologists
should be particularly directed towards finding reme-
dies against tho disease, not in the larva, but in the pupa
tsate ; and it is in this sense he proposes to continue his
researches.

PERIODICITY OF STORMS.—In a paper recently
addressed to the Academy of Sciences, M. Fournet
gives an account of the results he has arrived at after a
series of meteorological observations continued uninter-
ruptedly for a series of 30 years, in the valley of the Saone.
As a result of 3,300 observations, he finds that the winter
—December, January, and February —is singularly free
from electrical meteors. It is known that what are called
the blank days (journee centres) abound in these months ;
but it is not known that the season is apt to open with a
storm, usually on the 2d or 3d of December, and that on
the 15th another storm recurs. "One might be tempted,"
he says, "to consider these winter explosions as the last
expression of the dying energy of the autumn ; but this
idea is set aside by the observation of the phenomena
which occur in mid-winter. These are manifested espe-
cially on the 15th of January. They accompany the
rainy phase—a phase remarkable by the overflow of the
Saone. At the end of February winter often terminates
with a storm as it began with one." In March the stormy
period of spring is moderately introduced, and it is not
until the 7th that we perceive a well-defined electrical
tendency. This tendency increases rapidly, and about the
22d of May we reach the period of intensest evolution of
storms. Summer opens placidly, and even the sth of
June is as free from electric disturbance as the ordinary
days of winter ; but immediately afterwards the causes
cumulate, and the Bth, 12th, and 18th of June are tole-
rably certain to see storms. The 20th of Jnno is gene-
rally a stormy day. July is a period which contrasts by
its quiet with the turbulence of June and August. Up to
the 12th it preserves something of that placidity, which is
then interrupted by the most electrically disturbed period
of the year. It ceases on the 18th—that is to say, it is
composed of six days divided by a moment of profound
calm. After its rains the temperature diminishes, and the
rest of the season, until winter, presents few changes
of violent disturbances. Nevertheless for autumn
we must note the critical days, September 1,9, 23, 30, fol-
lowed by the crisis of October 7 to 11. We may remark that
the fact of our having had six weeks and upwards of fine
weather up to Saturday the 7th last, inclusively, and of
its having changed to rain this day the 9th, certainly
tends to confirm M. Fournet's observations,

Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Kean in America.

(From the Boston Post of Sept. 26)
"Age cannot wither them, nor custom stale

Their infinite variety."

Last night began a new era in theatricals in our
city, being the first appearance, after an interim of
nearly 19 years, of Charles Kean and his wife (nee
Ellen Tree), before a Boston audience. Mr. Kean
made his original appearance before our citizens as
the " Duke of Gloster," at the Tremont Theatre,
on the 22d of November, 1830. Miss Tree first
appeared at the same establishment on the 20th of
February, 1837, her opening performance being
Julia in " The Hunchback." Mr. Kean again ap-
peared at the Tremont, in November and Decem-
ber, 1839 ; and in November, 1845, at the Howard
Athenaeum. On October 19th, 1846, Mr. and
Mrs. Kean commenced their last engagement in this
city, at the old Federal-street Theatre. Their per-
formances were of the highest order of merit, and
consisted mainly of the " Gamester," " Ion," and
the " Stranger." We well remember, that in Com-
mon with nearly the entire audience—the female
portion of it more especially,—" Tears trickled
down our cheek" at the masterly interpretation of
the sorrows of the " Stranger" and in sympathy
with the no less finely portrayed characterization of
that heart-broken and repentant Magdalen, "Mrs.
Haller." And now these consummate workers in
the mimetic art are with us once again, to de-
light and instruct all true lovers of the drama by the
fidelity with which they interpret the works of the
great master of tragedy and comedy. Mr. andAlrs.
Kean bring to their support the services of Miss E.
Chapman and Messrs. J. F. Cathcart and George
Everett, thus enabling them to present their pieces
with a strength of cast and a completeness of detail
hitherto unapproached in this city.

The immense and enthusiastic audience which
crowded the theatre last night was indeed pheno-
minal. It was composed (to borrow a line from the
original prologue to " Henry VIII.") of

" The first and happiest hearers of the town."
Literature, art, and the sciences were represented ;
wealth, beauty, and fashion lent their presence to
the scene ; the student and the octogenarian play-
goers (who emerges from his retirement only on rare
occasions such as the present) were there ; and each
and all were lavish in their contribution to the
general welcome accorded to the stars. of the even-
ing. We question if a more brilliant or discrimi-
nating audience has ever been seen in Boston.

The pieces selected for the initial performance
were Shakspere's play of " Henry VIII.," termi-
nating with the fall of Wolsey ; and the elder Col-
man's comedy of " The Jealous Wife," reduced to
two acts. " Henry VIII." is perhaps the most
perfect of the entire series of Shakspere's his-
torical plays. With but one exception—that of
making the birth of Elizabeth occur subsequent to
the death of Catherine—it is entirely correct in
its chronological events. The first three acts of the
play only were given last night, very judiciously as
we think, as perhaps all the interest in the play
terminates with the downfall of the " Scarlet Line."

But to the performance. Mr. Kean gave us a
truly fine impersonation of the " great child of
honor, Cardinal Wolsey." The first scene, although
quite a short one, was the perfection of acting.
The entire part was invested with a grandeur of
character becoming to the " man of an unbounded
stomach." But it was in the third act that Mr.
Kean was indeed great. The entire act, culminat-
ing in the downfall of the Cardinal, was worked up
with the intensity of dramatic skill, and the speeches
to Cromwell after his fall from the good graces of
the King had become apparent, were given with a
tenderness and a pathos that touched all hearts.
The entire performance was indeed one of rare
excellence.
The Katherine of Mrs. Kean was an excellent
support. Her plea to the King in mitigation of the
grievances of the over taxed Commons was finely
rendered. The character was invested with a dignity
and grace, and an understanding of the part, which
commended itself to all. In her own trial she was
highly affecting, giving a vivid representation of
distressed majesty.
Mr. J. F. Cathcart, a most excellent actor, as
Cromwell ; Mr. George Everett as the noble poet
Surry, and Miss Chapman as Anne Boleyn, were
all that could be desired.

The Henry Vlll.—the royal Bluebeard—of Mr.
Frank Mayo was capitally made up and correctly
costumed. The Buckingham of Mr. George Clair
was well conceived, and was one of the best perso-
nations of the evening. Mr. Wylie as Lord Sands
did remarkably well, and Mr. Collins as the Duke
of Suffolk was entitled to commendation.

The part of the Duke of Norfolk was entrusted to
Mr. Burns. We believe the Howard family, of
which the Duke is the head, is an English family_
and why its representative at the time of Bluff Hall
spoke with an Irish brogue is beyond our compre-
hension. The Duke, moreover, was the father of
the Earl of Surrey, but, according to the make-up
of Mr. Burns, he appeared some ten years younger
than his illustrious son. We should scarcely have
noticed this, were it not for the fact that young
actors of the present day think the " be-all and the
end-all" of their profession is merely to be ac-
quainted with the words of their parts. A course
of historical reading is, as a general thing, as bene-
ficial to actors as to members of other professions.
The piece was placed upon the stage in a most
excellent manner, and reflected great credit on Mr.
France. The trial of Queen Katharine was a faith-
ful reproduction of Hogarth's celebrated picture.
The evening's entertainment concluded with the
" Jealous Wife," in which Mrs. Kean recalled her
old triumphs. It was a magnificent performance
throughout. Mr. Kean's Mr. Oakley was excellent,
and the other members of the company acquitted
themselves to the satisfaction of all.

The Royal Family in the Highlands.
On Friday last her Majesty and party, from Bal-
moral, drove out on the north side of the river Dee,
via the mansion of Invercauld. At a short distance
beyond a divergence was made from the county road
to the north-west, through the dark, narrow, and
serrated profiles of the Slogan Glen, towards Ben-
a-bourd. Having proceeded for a few miles in this .
direction; the carriage was stopped, and the Queen
and party, assisted by ponies and guides from the
Castle, proceeded by the path to the wide level on
the crest of giant Ben-a-bourd. A delightful view
was obtained of the surrounding counties, as the day
was fine, and the atmosphere bracing and clear.
After a prolonged stay, the royal cortege descended
the mountain flank, returning home to Balmoral
late in the evening. On Saturday evening her Ma-
jesty drove through Braemar to the Falls of Corrie-
mulzie, &c., passing through the village on her re-
turn to the Castle at half-past six o'clock. A
Crathie correspondent writes :—On Sunday the
Queen, their Royal Highnesses the Prince and
Princess of Wales, Princess Helena, and Prince
John of Glucksburg, attended Divine service in -
the church of Crathie. There were also present
from Balmoral—The Marchioness of Ely, General
the Hon. C. Grey, the Hon. Mrs. and Miss Grey,
Colonel De Ros, &c. ; and from Abergeldie, Colonel -
the Hon. Sir C. B. Phipps and Lady Phipps, Mr. '
Albert Phipps, General, Mrs., and Miss Knollys,
&c. The Rev. Dr. Boyd, of St. Andrews, preached
a very able sermon from 2nd Corinthians, iii., 18.
The church was well filled, but not crowded. It is
reported on good authority that the Queen is to re-
main at Bahnoral till the 23rd November.

His Royal Highness Prince Alfred passed through
Edinburgh on Monday forenoon on his way to Bal-
moral, where he will stay a few days, while the
Racoon is being got ready for sea. He will then
leave on an extended foreign cruise.

THE ELOPEMENT IN STAFFORDSHIRE.--At Wed-
nesbury, yesterday, the magistrates investigated the
charge which had been preferred against David Rose ani
Henry Rose, ironmasters, of having locked up and ill-
treated David Rose, son of the elder defendant, because
he had eloped with one of his father's servants, named
Annie York, to whom ho had got married before his
relations could prevent the ceremony, as they wished to
do. The proceeding had been instituted .by the newly-
made wife, who alleged that her husband was 'kept from
her by force. Sarah Langford, the young woman who
gave evidence on the first hearing of the case, repeated
her testimony, which it will be remembered was in favour
of the charge. The bridegroom, David Rose, was then put
into the box. The court was very crowded, and intense in:
terest was manifested.to see the (gay and self-willed bride-
groom. He appeared anything but a spirited or dashing
lover—more like a sneaking schoolboy. He stated that after
he was taken home by his brother he willingly undertook
to go to South America, but, on receiving notice that he was
to sail on the next day, he refused, because the notice was
so short. His father then boxed his ears, and he threw
himself on the floor, and, drawing a what-not upon him,
injured his arm and eye. He then went upstairs to his
brother's room, went to bed, and remained in the room
until Sunday afternoon. Being cross-examined, he said he
was sixteen years old on the Ist of December last, and
left school at Christmas to complete his education on the
Continent. Ho eloped with Annie York by arrangement
with her and the first witness. He went to York's house.
Walked with her and her brother, who carried their
clothes in a carpet-bag to Birmingham. Thence they went
by train to Warwick. There the brother of the bride ap-
plied to several clergymen to marry them, but vainly
They were finally married at the office of the Registrar at
Kenilworth. He was under the influence of beer all this
time, but was sober. He had but one shilling when he
left home, and the brother of the bride paid the expenses
of the wedding tour. After the ceremony the bridegroom
said he put up at the Bear-Inn, Kenilworth, where his
brother Henry found him. He willingly returned home
with him. His father gave him a choice as to the future,
and he elected to go abroad. To this intent he went to
Birmingham, and made an arrangement with a commercial
gentleman there to go out to South America in his interests,
his father undertaking to pay £2,000 with him. On the
Tuesday after the alleged assault the gentleman came for
him, saying the vessel would start next day. He became
sulky and refused to go ; and after his father and brother
had boxed his ears he went up to bed, and asked his
brother William to lock him in his bed-room. He did so,
and remained a willing prisoner until Sunday. Then
he willingly went on a tour in Wales, and knew nothing
of these proceedings until his return on Saturday. He
acknowledged, however, that while confined in his room he
pushed a letter under the door for his wife to the last wit-
ness. The Bench dismissed the case without waiting for
the defence. The crowd hissed the bridegroom, but sym-
pathised with the bride, as they separately left the court.
ACCIDENTAL EXPLOSION OF A SHELL.—On Mon-
day morning, while the Depot Brigade of Royal Artillery at
Sheerness were at drill, a 7-inch (1101 b.) shell exploded on
the parade ground. A number of gunners were engaged
driving one of " Boxer's time-concussion fuses" into a shell
previously to firing it from an Armstrong gun on the
centre bastion, when the fuse accidentally broke, causing
the shell to explode, thereby wounding two gunners who
were fixing the fuse. Fragments of the shellmere driven
a great distance, but beyond breaking a gun-carriage and
slightly damaging some of the adjacent buildings in the
dockyard, no further harm was done, although nearly 200
men were on the parade ground at the time. The wounded
gunners were conveyed to the military hospital, when t
was ascertained that their injuries were not serious.
