The All England Club commenced their cricket

the 22. of the United States ' ware 83 behind their

On the 23d ult.,. Messrs. La Mountain and Had-
dock ascended from Watertown, and, not having
been heard of for some days, it was believed that
they had lost their lives., Happily, they were
heard from on the sth inst. The 'New York Tri-
bune briefly describes their adventure :

" La MOuntain and Haddock arc safe at Ottawa
(Bytown) in Canada. They landed about 150 miles
north of Ottawa in the great Canadian Wilderness,
at a point about 50 miles west of Lake St. John,
the head of the Saguenay River, and about midway
between the St. Lawrence River and James's Bay.
The place is about 300 miles north of Watertown,
so that they must have had a northerly current.
This disproves the story of the balloon having been
seen 50 miles south-cast of Watertown, over St.
Lawrence county, unless the current suddenly
changed. La Mountain telegraphs that he has lost
everything. They were four days without food
and without the means If making a fire.. They
were fortunately discovered by Mr. Cameron, who
was looking for timber, probably along the head
waters of the Gatineau River. Indian gudies were
found, who brought them down to Ottawa in bark
canoes. They were less than five hours in the air,
and must have landed about 'lO o'clock at night,
having travelled at the rate'of a mile a minute, the
balloon being from four to five miles firm the earth.
This extraor'dinury voyerre due north strikes a hard
blo:N-ati, the favourite theory of a steady easterly
eurrQnt in the tipper st rata of the atmosphere. Ten
hours further travel in their direction would have
Frank-
`.in is supposed to have
brought them to the point where Sir John Frank-
perished."
A despatch from Washington states that Lord
Lyons had a protracted interview with the'Secre-
tary of State on the Ist, and says :

"The English Government has not yet made
known its views to our Government respecting the
San Juan affair. Until that is done, of course, the
Administration will not move in the matter. The
next arrival from Europe will probably bring
something from her Majesty's Government in re-
gard to the matter."
The overland California mail of the 12th ult.
reached St. Louis on the 4th, but does not bring
any advices from Vancouver.
A correspondent of the Nato Fork Times writing
from Olympia, Washington, on the 21st of August,
respecting the San Juan dispute, says :

" General Harney is severely condemned by the
most intelligent and educated of our countrymen
on the spot for this action, on the ground that, no
matter how clear and indisputable may be our title
to the island, as long as it is a subject of contro-
versy or correspondence between the two Govern-
ments, or their commissioners, it is disputed terri-
tory, and neither party has a right to sole and
exclusive occupancy or jurisdiction over it. Our
companies here. are weak in men and weaker in
officers, there being but one officer to each company.
Waggon-road expeditions, boundary survey, and
arrests have consumed their force: Had a collision
taken place before August 10, the ' enemy' could
have wiped us ont.' We are indebted to the for-
bearance and magnaminity of the English naval
officer for the continued peace between the two
countries. General Harney, who is here called
Goliah,' for two reasons—first, that he is a very
large man ; and second, that he is all matter and
no mind—ought, I think, to be court-martialed and
dismissed the service for his conduct in this case.
In Europe he could not have retained his commis-
sion a minute after the flagrant and outrageous act
was known to the Government. The man is not
half so fit to be a general as to be hostler of a
livery stable. It is said the General's real object is
political popularity, with the insane idea of using
the same at the Charleston Convention a la Taylor
and Pierce."

According to the St. John's (New Brunswick)
Morning News the people of Newfoundland aro
looking with anxiety for the result of the Anglo-
French fisheries commission.

Minister of the Interior—Don Julian Volio,
nephew of the Bishop.

The Provisional President had issued the follow-
ing address :
" Fellow-Citizens.—The spontaneous motion of
the nation has called me to preside temporarily
over their destiny, and I, at the sacrifice of my
private life, shall fulfil the exalted mission con-
fided to me, and give the country such liberal
institutions as may
.combine with order and pear,
to guide it to progress, the object after which it
aspires.
"Let us return thanks to the Almighty, who
deigned to change our situation without violence,
without a single drop of blood having been shed, or
a single priming burxt.
" Let us also acknowledge the important services
of, and return the most expressive marks of grati-
tude to, our honourable and gallant soldiers, and
more especially to their heroic chiefs—Don Lorenzo
Salazar and Don Maximo Blanco.

" May public felicity, liberty, with order and pro-
gress, be the reward of your fellow-citizens and
friends. " JOSE MARIA MONTEAGELA.

" National Palace, San Jose, Aug. 14, 1859."

The despatches state that the now order of things
was hailed with enthusiasm by the other provinces
of tho Republic. Several liberal decrees had been
issued.

From La Guayra we learn that on the 14th ult.
the French consul was expelled the country. The
Government appears to be prevailing over the rebels.

How A METHODIST PREACHER BECAME CHAPLAIN
TO CoNcluEss.—Mr. Milburn was appointed by the confer-
ence to collect money on behalf of the colleges at Illinois ;
his success in this capacity was very small, but it led to his
being appointed chaplain to Congress for his boldness in
rebuking the profanity and intemperance of several of its
members whom be encountered on board a steamer. This
incident, equally honourable to all parties, was of much ser-
vice to Mr. Milburn by enabling him to study rhetoric from
the first speakers of the -country.—. Literary Gazette.
