AIR. LINDSAY, 1

rITED STATESM ITEst

Mr. Lindsay, M.P., addressed the Boston, United States,
Board of Trade, on the 24th ult., and stated the object of
_ _ .

his visit to the United States. He slid that he did not
visit the United States as a " diplomztist," much less as a

" special envoy," Ls had been reported in some quarters.;
but he came there as a man of business, to converse with

men of business, about commercial matters, in which

both countries were deeply interested. Having corn-

pared notes and conversed with the merchants and
shipowners of Boston, and having ascertained their
views—which they appeared quite ready to furnish—
he would then proceed to New York, Philadelphia,
and Baltimore, and adopt a somewhat similar
course to that which he was following here. The different
boards of trade and chambers of commerce would no doubt
forward memorals to their Government, and by the time
the Government of the United States had considered these

speak of such signal piety as persecution. What is
it then ? Why, it is, he says, using her position as
a landowner for the good of the Church in which she
believes. And her conscience "forbids her to allow
the tenants to make use of the advantages which
they derive from connection with her property, to
the support of those principles which are at variance
and hostile to those of the landlady."

memorials, he would have reached Washington. He
would then see if the views of the respective Governments

..
could be brought into harmony respecting the questions to
which he would now direct their attention. In regard to

We leave the grammar as we find it, but the
abuse of the common sense, indeed of religious
sense also, deserves exposure. This priest-ridden

'the first and most important question, that of the respon.
sibility of shipowners, he said—" My idea in regard to the
principles of the convention would be somewhat as follows :
—That the ships of Great Britain and the United States
respectfully shall be placed upon an equal footing in regard
to the loss of life, personal injury, &c., by collisions at sea,
and that the liability of the owners of the ship running
down another shall be limited to the same amount, whether
the ship belong to Great Britain or the United States ;
and that the mode of procedure shall be is accordance with
the law of the country in which the claim is made." He
next spoke of the necessity of adopting signal lights which
should be always understood. He also spoke of matters
relating to insurance—to that "running down clause"
which is usually inserted in the policy. It seemed to him
desirable that in the United States they should have
rules applicable to insurance somewhat similar to those
which they had in Great Britain. The next point was that
of crimes committed on the high seas. "I do not see," he
said, "why some convention cannot be entered into between
the two countries, so that upon the representation of
the minister or consul representing your country, our
law officers shall have power to issue a warrant for
the apprehEnsion of the American subject in a British
port, in the same way as he would issue a warrant
for the apprehansion of a British subject committing a
similar offence ; and, in case of very grave crimes, have
power to send him home for trial ; and, in case of smaller
offences, such as larceny and small crimes and disputes,
giving to our courts jurisdiction, always on the recommen-
dation, or at the request of the ambassador or consul repre-
senting the United States at that port. And if some such
law could be applied to American seamen in England, it
would be advisable to have a similar law applied to British
seamen in American ports." With respect to the question
of desertion from merchant ships, he suggested that the
American Government might adopt our " Foreign De-
serters Act," if the words, "not being slaves," were
omitted ; if they agreed to do so, he would do all he
possibly could to induce our Government to sub-
stitute some such words as " seamen who have
voluntarily engaged themselves, and apprentices indentured
to merchant ships belonging to such and such power."
Passing on to the subject of shipping offices, he said :
"If you were to establish shipping offices, into which
British seamen should be admitted on the same terms, and
subjected to the same charges, as American seamen, then
I think our Government would be willing to allow your sea-
men the same privileges in our shipping offices." Several
other points having been touched upon, he spoke at length
upon the navigation laws ; noticing the course which Eng-
land had taken, throwing her ports open, so that American
and British ships stood on an equal footing. He said,
" When we opened the coasting trade to you, we expected
that your Government would adhere to this great sound
principle, as laid down by Abbott Lawrence, and open your
trade to us. lam sorry to say that you still retain your
coasting trade; and you do more —you construe your
coasting trade to include the trade between Now York and
California. I am at a loss to understand how you can
call a trade that travels nearly round the world a
' coasting trade.' I will tell you what a British ship-
owner says Why,' says he, ' the trade between Cal-
cutta and London is quite as much a coasting trade as that
between California and New York, because the distance
is less.' Really lamat a loss to see why, if the one is to
be termed a coasting trade,' the other should not be so
also. Then you call the trade to the West coast, via
Panama, a coasting trade I You land in a foreign country.
You tranship your goods, carrying them over a foreign
territory, and really, on the principle of equity, it seems to
me it would bo very difficult for you to hold your ground
there. If you were to give up your monopoly of the eoast-
ing trade, what would the British shipowner gain, and what
would you lose ? If my experience is worth anything, it
leads me to think that you would lose little or nothing, and
that the British shipowner would gain much less than he
supposes. I do not believe that you would lose any of that
trade, because I believe that every nation can conduct its
own coasting trade to the best advantage. It was said that
the Swedes and Norwegians, eating "black bread," and
working for low wages, would drive us out of our coasting
tradp ; but wo have retained It, and fur this simple reason,
that before the Swedes and Norwegians can engage in the
coasting trade, they must come and live in the ports of
England. They will there be subject to the same duties
and burdens as British owners, and must feed and pay the
same men, as British seamen are fed and paid. The ship-
owners of Groat Britain are constantly complaining about
the people of America in regard to the coasting trade. You
may not care a great deal about those bickerings, but
anything that stirs up animosity between two great nations,
especially two great commercial nations, such as England
and America, must to a certain extent limit the trade be-
tween those countries more than it would be limited if this
cause of grievance and annoyance were removed. Now, if
England were prepared to give up this charge of light dues
upon your ships, and the compulsory pilotage, so that your
ships might not be required to pay for pilotage, except when
they required the services of a pilot, and if we could give
up those dues which we now levy as ' passing tolls'--I
think, if you gave up your coasting trade, and we gave up
these exactions, it strikes me that you would be very much
the gainers, and you would remove a serious annoyance,
and do much to develope your own trade. However, that is
a matter for the consideration of the government of this
board, and I do hope that you and the shipowners generally,
and the American public, will give it a fair and impar-
tial consideration." The registry question was considered,
and also the belligerent rights of the sea. In
connection with the latter subject, he said :—" I do sin-
cerely hope that you may urge upon the Government of
this country the desirability of moving, with England, in
making all private property, except articles contraband of
war, sacred, and putting an end to the seizure of such pro-
perty by privateers, whether it be by ships carrying letters
of marque, called privateers, or her Majesty's ships, fitted
out in England and going forth, in the usual phrase, to
burn, plunder, and destroy.' "—At the conclusion of the
hon. gentleman's speech, it was resolved :—" That a com-
mittee of twelve be appointed to consider the various sub-
jects presented to the government of this board by the Hon.
W. S. Lindsay, M.P., namely, the liability of shipowners—
the rule of the road at sea—collisions—signal lights—the
application of the British Foreign Deserters Act to the
ships of the United States—offences committed on the high
seas—the settlement of disputes relative to wages, etc.—
the establishment of shipping offices—the rights of belli-
gerents—the registering of British-built vessels—the coast-
ing trade, &e."

lady is taught to regard her tenants' fair profits as
her own ! As a gift which she may acceptably

present at the offertory of her Church, though it is

the fruit of her tenants' labour and skill, and costs
her nothing! She is taught by her Confessor to

confound her rents with her tenants' fair profits ,
what never belonged to her with what nnques.

tionably does. If she wished to retire into
an Anglican nunnery, and devote her

entire rents to the " true Church," whatever

we thought of her religious sanity, we should do
honour to her self-denying sincerity. But when
she would honour GOD in the cheap way of expel-
ling all who differ from her from the land, so far as
lies in her power, and of substituting for them
those who will conform to her creed, it is plainly
serving GOD at the cost of others. She is directed,
indeed, to protest against forcing her tenants to
become Church people—only if they do not they
must quit. She would not have them stay and go
to Church against their principles ; only if their
principles do not lead them thither, they must go
out of their farms ! What " undue influence"
means, politically, we know it is hard legally to
define, but if Miss MORICE'S letter had related to
election matters, we are confident the most Tory-
minded judge on the bench would pronounce that
the votes in accordance with it would have the un-
questioned brand of that species of corruption. Miss
MORICE'S legal right we know cannot be impugned,
but the gross moral wrong she is taught to perpe-
trate becomes only more revolting when it is put
forth as a model of religious duty.
We are sorry to fear that Miss MORICE is not
alone in lending her maiden ear to the charmings of
priestly bigotry; but if these remarks should ever
reach her, we beg her to consider what Ireland and
Scotland must become if her confessor's principles
were adopted by its landlords. Protestant Epis-
copalians hold, we believe, the greater part of the
soil in both Scotland and Ireland ; are they, for the
glory of GOD and the good of the true Church in
which, like her, they "firmly believe," to eject all
their Presbyterian and Catholic tenants, and to pro-
cure an immigration of men of the true faith ?"
Are they to deny the " advantages" of earning an
honest living to men who honestly pay their land-
lord's rents, and only enjoy their owu fair profits ?
Is every Dissenter, Catholic, Jew, or Quaker land-
lord in England to act on the same plan, and eject
all the Churchmen, indeed, all respectively but
Dissenter, Catholic, Jew, or Quaker tenants ? Is
shopping to be conducted as, if she is right, it ought
to be, on the same principles—and are we therefore
to have JOHN SMITH, " Episcopalian grocer," DAVID
JONES, " Dissenting grocer," JAMES ROBINSON,
" Catholic or Quaker grocer." Indeed we could not
stop there. At Islington we must have JOHNSON,
" butcher, and Evangelical Churchman ;" near St.
Barnabas ; " THO3IPSON, draper, and Anglican
Churchman ;" and in the sober City " ANDERSON,
tea dealer, and moderate Churchman."
We must, however, conclude our remarks. For
ourselves, we think no terms of reprobation too
strong for such landlady cruelty. Not even the
absolution of CLERICUS can obtain absolution for it
—in Heaven more than on earth. While the SUL-
TAN is treating all creeds alike, and while Spain
and Rome are the models which Miss MORICE is
imitating, we cannot doubt that such baleful in.
tolerance will meet its just social punishment in
England. In Wales every one knows that dissent
is the rule, conformity the exception ; but if all the
landlords follow the example of Miss MORICE, and
of her father confessor CLERICUS, the farmers of
Wales will have no alternative but emigration or
hypocrisy.

The following telegrams have been received at
Mr. Reuter's office :

MILAN, OCT. 7.

The Perseveranza announces that Garibaldi
solicits the King to go to Naples, and requests that
14,000 men be sent as soon as possible.

MADRID, OCT. 7.

Their Majesties have arrived at Saragossa. An
royal ordinance decrees the payment of an annual
pension of 540,000 reals for life to the Duke of
Parma.

ST. PETERSBURG, OCT. 7.
Advices have been received here from Pekin to
he commencement of July.

The insurrection in China was gaining ground,
especially in the Eastern maritime provinces. The
militia had been called out in Pekin and its en-
virons. Discontent prevailed everywhere.

Provisions of all descriptions were exceedingly
dear. Commerce was stagnant.

The inhabitants of Pekin were favourably dis•
posed towards the English, and desired their pre•
sence at Pekin. This was caused by reports that
the English who disembarked at Petcheli had not
ill-treated the natives.

A corps of 6,000 men had been despatched from
Pekin against the English.

Ten thousand soldiers had been sent in another
direction. A report was current at Pekin that the
Emperor would pass the winter at Moukden.
The Emperor's thirtieth birthday would be cele-
brated by festivals at Pekin.

BERLIN, OCT. 7.

Official advices received from St. Petersburg
announce that the Emperor Alexander, accom-
panied by Prince Gortschakoff, will arrive at
Warsaw on the 20th inst. The Emperor of
Austria and the Prince Regent are expected
there on the 22d inst.

The Russian Ambassadors at Berlin, Vienna,
and Turin have been summoned to Warsaw ;
whither, in consequence of a formal invitation
from the Russian Cabinet, Baron Schleinitz and
Count Rechberg will also proceed.

TRIESTE, OCT. 7

All the Austrian ships of war which were in
the Syrian and Neapolitan waters have returned
to Pola, where they are concentrated under the
command of the Archduke Maximilian.

The Austrian Government has ordered all the

be extinguished. The garrisons in these pro-
vinces are being considerably reinforced.

TURIN, OCT. 6.

In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies
Signor Poerio made an interpellation on the news
published by the Naples journals that a concession
of all the lines of railway in the Two Sicilies had
been granted by the Dictator to the firm of Adami,
Leghorn.

Count Cavour replied that Government had no
official information on the subject, but he believed
that the news was entirely unfounded.

TURIN, OCT. 7.
General Fanti has arrived here. He will leave
again on Tuesday next.
The Sardinian troops have not yet crossed the
Neapolitan frontier.

LEGHORN, OCT. 7

Advices from Naples states that the Marquis
Pallavicino had accepted the pro-dictatorship of

Conforti's Ministry was still incomplete.
Crispi was very unpopular.

VIENNA, OCT. 7

The Austrian Government has no knowledge of
the despatch which, according to an English jour-
nal, Lord John Russell addressed to Count Rechberg
at the same time that the despatch of the 31st
August was sent to Sir James Hudson for commu-
nication to Count Cavour.

According to advices from Bucharest, Prince
Couza has appointed a diplomatic agent to Turin.
It is believed that the Porte will protest against
this appointment, because it has always claimed
the exclusive right of representing the Danubian
Principalities in foreign countries.

PARIS, OCT. 7.

The period fixed by the convention of the sth
ult., relative to Syria, for the exchange of the rati-
fications, expires on the 10th inst. This formality

It is asserted that, on the termination of the
labours of the European Commission at Beyrout,
which will probably occupy two months, the expe-
dition to Syria will return to France.

THE BATTLE OF VOLTURNO.
A correspondent of the Journal des Debuts, who
was present at the battle, gives the following
graphic description of the relative position of the
two armies and of the battle :

" During the last five or six days Garibaldi has
shown immense activity. The Royalists, on their
part, have erected formidable works on the right
bank of the Volturno ; they hold most favourable
positions, without mentioning the fortress of
Capaa ; they are masters of the course of the river,
which they can cross by the bridges from Capua,
where the river is little more than a ditch, for
Capua is built on the right bank. From San Cle-
mente to Cajazzo the right bank is bristling with
guns, eleverly masked, strong redoubts thrown up
with barricades and drawbridges.

" The whole country on the right bank is a trap.
Add to this a retrenched camp of 20,000 picked
troops, elated by promises of Royal rewards.
"The base of the operations of the Garibaldians
is at Maddaloni. The left wing stretches from
Santa Maria to Aveisa, protected here by the canal
which runs through the country, and occupied by
Major Corte, with the volunteers of Basilicate.
Santa Maria, strongly fortified, is occupied by
General Milvitz, by tke Sicilian brigade La Masa,
rather an embarrassment than a support ; by the
fine Tuscan regiments Malenchini and Zucchieri,
and Balbi's Genoese Carabineers. The head•quar-
ters remains at Caserta. The right wing, covered
by the mountains, stretches from Dentici, occupied
by 13ixio, who has returned from Genoa as far as
San Salvatore by San Lenoro. At half a mile from
that village is the Punta dcl Parco, and a little be-
yond a ravine, capped by a hill which. commands
Cajazzo. The hill is occupied by Garibaldians,
Cajazzo by the Royalists. A little in advance of
Punta del Parco the road divides, the one leading
to Cajazzo, the other to Capua. This point is also
in the hands of the Garibaldians. Monte San An-
gelo, the key of the defence, commanding the course
of the Volturno, has triple batteries entrusted to the
Genoese artillerymen and to Colonel Spangero's
corps of General Eber's brigade, under the direc-
tion of Captain Ferrare. To this point Garibaldi
has paid especial care: He has visited about 50
times the batteries, which consist of 28 guns.
g; on Saturday I took the railway and visited
Santa Maria. On the preceding day the fire of the
outposts was incessant. The Royalists seemed
determined to strike a blow, for Garibaldi's plan

The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa also publishes
the following account of the battle of Volturno

columns ; the one attacked Santa Maria, the other
St. Angelo, and the third cut the communication
between those two points.

The advanced posts of Santa Maria, consisting
of Sicilians, were carried, and the Sicilians driven
back. The Royalists then made a furious attack on
Santa Maria and penetrated into the first houses;
to dislodge them it required eight charges with the
bayonet. St. Angelo, heroically defended by the Ist
Brigade of Medici's division, resisted all the attacks
of the Royalists, though their efforts were concen-
trated against that position.
" The first brigade suffered cruelly, and three of
the staff officers are hors de combat; one is killed,
the other two severely wounded. The Royalists

voice of cannon, and I arrived in time. Two bat-
talions, commanded by Castellini, were attempting
to throw a bridge over the Volturno. Protected by
Monte's artillery, they advanced by a covered road,
succeeded in launching two boats ; but the enemy
perceived the manoeuvre. Immediately the right
bank, as if by magic, was covered by Royalist
troops, and a terrible fire was opened against the
batteries of San Angelo, and against the Garibal-
dians attempting to make the bridge. They were
obliged to retreat. San Angelo opened its guns and
replied with good erect. But this was simply an
overture to the great event that was to come off on
the Ist,
" The Royalists had made up their minds to at-
tempt a decisive blow. They felt they were being
surrounded. They knew Cialdini was in their rear,
steadily advancing; that Lamoriciere was com-
pletely defeated ; and that Naples was undefended.
At 6 a.m on the Ist of October 16,000 men, of
which number 5,000 were cavalry, left Capua, com-
manded by General Palmieri, with five batteries
commanded by General Nigri. General Ritucci
had the chief command. Generals Afan de Rivera,
Barbalonga, and von Michel were under his orders.
I have these details from Captain Perelli, of the
7th Chasseurs, who was taken prisoner. At the
same time a body of 5,000 men marched on Mad-
daloni to take the Garibaldians in the rear, and
cut off their retreat. The soldiers of Francis 11.
were divided into two corps—one, by the rail-
way, was to attack the position of the Gari-
baldians at the arches of Santa Maria and draw their
attention to that point ; the other, by the parallel
Consular road, to cross upon their right by the
fields, guided by the reactionary peasants of San
Prisco and the neighbouring villages, and was to fall
upon Santa Maria in the rear of the Garibaldians.
Another body of 1,000 men, starting from Pa Piana,
was to cross the Volturno below Cajazzo and de•
bouch by San Leuchio.
" All this had been foreseen by Garibaldi, and
is extraordinary that in a very reactionary country
the Royalists were not better informed of the opera-
tions of the Garibaldians. Thus the latter had
erected redoubts, dug ditches, and built barricades
on the very fields over which the Royalists fancied
they could advance without impediment and attack
the right of the Garibaldians, or throw themselves
into Santa Maria.
"At half-past 6 o'clock a sharp fire of musketry
commenced, and the cannon soon began to roar with
fury. The population showed great excitement
and every one prepared for defence. I.hastened to
the spot, and arrived just as the Royalists were
crossing over the 15 arches of the railway, chasing
the Garibaldians before them. At 8 o'clock the
former were already at Santa Maria, near the walls
of the Campan amphitheatre.
" While General Ritucci was carrying out this
movement, Garibaldi, who had arrived on the scene
of battle, ordered an analogous one. He ordered
Malenchini's regiment to leave San Tamaro on his
left, to leave Santa Maria by the rear, and threw it
into the fields which the Royalists had to cross.
The latter thus found themselves taken between two
columns of Garibaldians, shut up between the rail-
way and the road, and completely surrounded. The
7th Regiment of Chasseurs was annihilated, with
the exception of 35 men, an adjutant, major, and
Capt. Perelli, who were made prisoners. It is
quite impossible for me to describe the terrific ob-
stinacy of the struggle, and the real and calm
courage of the men engaged.
"I went through the whole campaign in Lom-
bardy, I was present at Magenta and Solferino, and
yesterday I fancied I was there again. Three times
were the positions of the Garibaldians taken and
retaken at the point of the bayonet. The grape
swept men down unmercifully. No quarter was
asked or given. With mine own eyes I saw wounded
men bayonetted and the stiletto and pistol used
in a fight which commenced with the rifle.
Except the Sicilians and the Neapolitans of the city
of Naples, every man did his duty with enthusiasm.
A strange and atrocious circumstance, if we con-
sider the character of the Italians, they fought
without uttering a shout, almost in silence. It was
a lovely day, the sun shining in all its glory and
the ground adorned with rich produce.
"At noon the tide of battle turned in favour of
the Garibaldians.
" Fresh battalions and new guns came up from
Caserta and Naples, and joined in the battle. The
Garibaldians, when the battle commenced, were not
10,000 strong ; they had now 15,000 men in the
battle. Garibaldi seemed übiquitous. He watched
every phase of the battle, keeping 2,000 men in re-
serve on his left to throw himself into Capua if the
vici3situdes of the struggle should offer him a pro-
pitious opportunity. He was much moved, red
and wet from perspiration, and his voice altered by
emotion.
" At the bridges of La Valle, behind the hills of
Maddaloni, Bixio had definitively driven back the
Royalists, who had taken and retaken that position.
Near San Lucio Affranti's column had prevented
the Royalists crossing the river. With the Lucans
and Calabrians Colonel Corte had bravely supported
the combatants of Santa Maria, and kept the
enemy in check, who might have forced a passage
by San Tamaro, left open by the movement of
brave General Malenchini on the right. Five guns
were taken from the enemy, with their mules and
accoutrements. Prisoners and wounded in great
numbers began to arrive at Santa Maria, and were
immediately sent on by railway to Caserta. A great
number of officers were killed or wounded. The
Sicilians made a great noise and did little fighting.
The National Guard of Santa Maria was on foot,
but, having prudently placed their flag in the
Guard-house, closed the doors and windows.
"At noon the roar of the cannon ceased. The
fire of musketry at the Archi of Santa Maria con
tinued unabated. A smile began to play upon the
lips and the colour to reappear in the cheeks of
many patriots. At this moment I was told a train
the outposts to write
