THE 'SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY g'IrgNING, OCTOBER 8, 1861.

timorous, the women are coming right, at least one
of the best of them, and one who. has a European
reputation. Mrs. BEECHEI STOWE'S last letter
we were obliged to criticise more severely
than we wished. She might be forgiven, for
she took her cue from the second Presidential mes-
sage, and declared that the North was fighting in
cause far transcending the smaller one of personal
liberty for 4,000,000 men. But Mrs. STOWE learns
from events, if Presidents do not. In a letter to
the New York Independent, headed " The Valley
of Humiliation," she calls on her people to regard
the warnings of PROVIDENCE in the Bull's Run
disaster :

" Let us look, she says, at our defeat far a moment God-
ward, and ask if there be not a meaning in the sudden panic
which was sent into our armies, as real as when the armies
of Israel fled before those Canaanites they wore tont to de-
stroy. Let us look to the ACHANS in our camp who hide
the wedge of gold and the Babylonish, vest in tents. Has
there been no secret cleaving to the accursed thing which
is the cause, and sung, and soul of tho whole war ? While
slavery was hemmed in by constitutional limits, and pro-
tected by laws, so that we could not overthrow it without
fighting against law and destroying government, our course
was one of strict moral influence alone. But these Slave
States have forsworn the Government and repudiated the
laws which protected them in their ill-gotten gains. Why
not use the opportunity to break every yoke ? Why not do
it openly, bravely, and martially—nct like lawyers and
politicians, but like soldiers ? Proclaim liberty through all
the land to all the inhabitants thereof. Let the President
of the United States proclaim that all men shall hereafter
be declared free and equal, and that the services of all shall
be accepted without regard to colour."
This is all admirable. The latter part of the ar-
gument is precisely that which we have often urged.
The failure to perceive its justice convinces us that
ABRAHAM LINCOLN is not the man we had hoped
that he was. He is, morally, a man of little courage.
He babbles about the constitution when those
against whom he is matched have torn it to shreds ;
and is tender over the claims of shareholders under
the Constitution, when for the sake of slavery they
have made open war upon the Government. As if
anticipating the crime of putting American uniform
off the backs of free coloured men, Mrs. STOWE re-
marks :

" Some are shocked at black regiments—they are shocked
too late. The question is not, Shall there be black regiments?
but shall they fight on our side or on the side of our enemies?
One of the returned Massachusetts men testifies to having
fought with a company of black soldiers in the Confederate
army, and they fought like tigers. Perhaps they fought
under promise of emancipation—for that very freedom which
we had power to give them, and did not give. We may rest
assured, if we delay till we alienate the blacks, that the
enemy will find means to turn them against us effectively, as
they have done hitherto. Who dug the trenches and raised
the masked batteries before which so many Northern
men lie dead P The negroes. Why were the Southern
forces fresh and our weary ? They had the negroes to do
their hard work. We have then no choice but to conquer
with the negroes—to conquer by a glorious act of gene-
rosity and justice that shall make our cause go by acclama-
tion through the world—or to fall under the very hoof of
the men whose wrengs we would not right, and whom GOD
will justly make our punishers. The poor blind SAMSON
in our land is still an awful and a fateful power—and all
the horoscope of our destiny is affected by him."
Noble sentiments, again, these last. How paltry
do Presidential technicalities and timidity appear
beside them. Surely the American people will
hearken to their prophetess ; if not, we venture to
predict that the result will be somewhat like that
of old, in which the honour came not to
the leader, but the " LoRD sold Sisera into the
hands of a woman." Assuredly a " woman's"
counsels are now in the right, and if the cowardly
American Government has not courage to adopt
them, either ignominious defeat, or the people
irresistibly demanding a FREMONT and STOWE
policy, will be the result. Heartily do we concur
with Mrs. STOWE'S closing advice :—"Let everyone
ponder this. Now is the time—the accepted time.
Now emancipation can be given as a gift—by-and-
by it will seem to be wrung out as a cowardly expe-
dient. Let the people petition the Government—
let them demand that this mighty weight shall be
cast into our scales now." Worthy this of the
authoress of " Uncle Tom's Cabin."

Who is there for Canada ? Among all our sixty
colonies, it is, perhaps, everything considered, the
one combining within itself the largest number of
attractions, Not but that others are indisputably
most alluring. Not but what there are induce-
ments almost irresistible in their way leading the
enterprize of the intending emigrants towards Bri-
tish Columbia, towards Australia, towards New
Zealand, towards the Cape, towards Ceylon, and
elsewhere throughout our vast and scattered pos-
sessions. Comparisons, however, are rejected even
in the proverb as odious. They are most frequently,
without a doubt of it, very invidious. And we as-
suredly do not here propose to adventure upon any
one illustration of their being so. We content our-
selves with reiterating the assertion that Canada
holds out advantages to the emigrant almost un-
rivalled in their way, certainly altogether unsur-
passed.

To begin with—the Colony, though a Colony,
enjoys all the advantages of political independence.
The Governor-General is no doubt nominated by
the British Sovereign. And he, in his turn, nomi-
nates the Executive Council. But—beyond the
Governor-General, beyond the Executive Council
—there are tie two chambers of the Canadian Par-
liament! And these are the nominees neither of
Monarch nor of Viceroy—they are the free choice
of the free people of Canada. The Legislative
Council is the House of Lords—the House of As-
sembly the House of Commons—of this Canadian
Parliament. Time was when the Legislative Coun-
cil was composed of the creatures of the Crown.
That time has long since passed by, however, and
both the upper and lower chamber of the Canadian
Legislature owe their origin to the choice of the
electors in Canada. Virtually, therefore, the colony,
though a colony, is, we repeat, guaranteed its poli-
tical independence.

Again, as to its dimensions. Surely there, too,
Canada has its attractions. It holds out " room
and verge enough " for the development of almost
any amount of enterprize for centuries to come.
No fears can then be entertained during many
future generations like the fears that formerly
affrighted the Rev. Mr. MALTUUS—an alarmist
whose cranium must, we may rest assured, have
been entirely deficient in the organ of philoprogeni-
tiveness. Recollect, just for an instant, the extent
of the area of Canada and the amount of its actual
population. The province which, as everyone
knows full well, is only second among the powers
of North America, extends (independently of its
north-western territories) over no less than 350,000
square miles. France, in fact, would make only
two-thirds of it ! The British Islands (the nucleus
of thF mighty empire of which Canada is but one
of the colonies) would make but very little over
one-third of it ! All Prussia would not make one-
third of it ! Yet up to this time, notwithstanding
the immense development of the colony during the
last half century, the whole population embraced
within its boundaries does not exceed an aggregate
of 3,000,000 ! A country ono-third larger than
France, nearly three times as large as Great Britain
and Ireland, more than three times as large as the
whole of Prussia—has no more inhabitants than
our metropolis alone! It must be remembered,
of course, that, while the area of the province ex-
tends, as we have said, over more than 350,000
square miles, of those 350,000 square miles no more

than 40,000 are as yet " settled" or inhabited. But
even then, the 40,000 square miles already thus in-
habited constitutes an extent of territory a third
larger than all Scotland, twice as large as Denmark,
three times the size of Switzerland. And this,
with 300,000 square miles and odd—yet to be
cleared, and settled, and cultivated !
It is not simply, however, that we would here
insist upon it that Canada is geographically large,
or politically independent, so far as relates to its
own capacity for self-government. Its fruitful-
ness is so wonderful ! Its climate is so various!
Its facilities for communication by land and by
water are so glaringly extraordinary !
To begin with the last mentioned class of ad-
vantages. We will suppose that some merchant
vessel sets out across the ocean from any Euro-
pean port, and arrives in duo course at the mouth
of the St, Lawrence. Let our transatlantic con-
temporary, the Canadian News, say then how it
fares with that ship upon its arrival there at that
earliest point in its destination at that broad out-
let of the giant stream of the St. Lawrence.
Says our contemporary, putting its array of facts
before us in the simplest, plainest manner imagi-
nable, "Four hundred and ten miles sailing from
this outlet brings us to Quebec, the great seaport of
Canada, with a large and increasing foreign com-
merce ; 500 miles sailing finds us at the limit of the
tide-water, and we now begin in reality to ascend
the stream of the St. Lawrence ; 590 miles brings
us to Montreal, near where the Ottawa, or Grand
River of the North, mingles its red waters with
those of the St. Lawrence, after draining a valley
of 80,000 square miles in area, lying to the
north-west, and thus commanding the inexhaus-
tible treasures of the magnificent forest of a part
of Canada, more than twice the size of
Bavaria, and six times the superficial limits of
Holland." Nearly six hundred miles inland navi-
gation for merchantmen ! Then as to actual facili-
ties already secured to the colony in the way of
railway communication ; enough if we say that
already Canada has very nearly two thousand
miles of railway virtually completed and in active
operation. That is really and truly more accom-
plished in the way of railroad enterprize yonder in
Canada than we have been enabled as yet to effect
close at hand here within Ireland or in Scotland.
To particularise merely one fact—" There is,"
we read, " an unbroken line of railway from a point
110 miles below Quebec, on the St. Lawrence
river, to Lake Huron, a distance of 780 miles, and
through its instrumentality a saving of five days
is effected in the transmission of goods between the
Atlantic and the Mississippi over all other routes."
That, however, is merely one portion of the already
vast railway system of Canada, when, as we have
said, altogether very nearly 2,000 miles of railroad,
or, to be precise, exactly 1,876 miles of railway are
already completed. No wonder the rise in the
value of land there has been so remarkable. No
wonder that with the advantages alone already
enumerated, the tide of emigration has set thither
so strongly, so steadily, nay, for that matter, so
increasingly. So considerable, in truth, let us
here remark in conclusion, is the rate of advance
made in the settlement of Canada, that it has been
reasonably calculated, according to the progress
now making out there, that in all human likeli-
hood within the brief interval of another decade
the inhabited portions of Canada will equal the
whole of the fifth of the great European Powers,
that is, the whole of the Kingdom of Prussia.

LAND IN IItELAND.—An official return shows
that the area of land in Ireland devoted to the growth of
potatoes in 1847, immediately after the great blight, was
only 284,116 acres, but the produce per acre exceeded 57
barrels of 20 stone weight each. In the following year the
acreage was nearly tripled, but the product fell to 44 bar-
rels. The extent of land in 1859 was no less than 1,200,347
acres, but they yielded only 28 barrels each. Last year the
acreage was 1,172,079, but the average yield had fallen to
only 18 barrels, being six barrels less per acre than in any
previous year of the series alluded to,

THE NEW ORDERS IN BANKRUPTCY.—We be-
lieve we may state that the general orders under "the
Bankruptcy Act, 1861," will be issued to the profession and
the public on the 12th inst. The statute provides (section
232) that the ad shall commence and take effect from and
and after the 11th day of October, 1861, and the publica-
tion of the general orders could not, therefore, take place
until the day after the commencement of the act itself.
This is, we believe, the only instance in which general
orders under any new statute have been promulgated con-
currently with the law itself. It will be recollected that
the Bankruptcy Law Consolidation Act, 1849, received the
royal assent on the Ist of August, 1849, and that the orders
under that statute were not issued until the 19th of
October, 1852.

BOROUGH BRANCH OF LONDON AND WESTMIN-
STER BANK.—An enlargement of some importance to the
Borough branch of the London and Westminster Bank is
now nearly completed. The building adjoins the Bridge
House Hotel, and is within a house of the open space in
front of St. Saviour's church. The front as it is now seen
consists of six windows on each floor. The openings on
the ground floors are divided by Doric pilasters, resting on
moulded pedestals. The openings at either extremity of
the front are doorways. The first floor windows are en-
closed by architraves, and surmounted by pediments with
convex freizes in the entablature and vermiculated key
stones dropping from the bedmoulds to the souffits of the
openings. Balustrades, slightly projecting, rest on the
ground floor cornices in front of the first floor windows.
The second floor windows have plain moulded architraves
and cornices ; balcanettes resting on enriched corbels, and
pierced with connected circles, are placed at the feet of the
windows. The moulded sills of the third floor rest on
plain corbels. The openings are segment headed with
key stones, connected with the necking under the principal
cornice, which is enriched with block modfillons and din-
tels. The whole is crowned by a simple parapet. The
front is executed in Portland cement, and the works are
being carried out by Messrs. Nicholson and Co. A good
feature about the building is, that all the mouldings of cor-
nices and strings are returned upon the flank walls, thus
permitting it to be advantageously seen from every point
of view, as well as from that directly in front of it.—Build-
ing News.

UNDEVELOPED TALENT. There have been
very popular writers who were brought out by mere
accident. They did not know what precious vein of
thought they had at command, till they stumbled
upon it as if by chance, like the Indian at the mines of
Potosi. It is not much that we know of Shakspero, but it
seems certain that it was in patching up old plays for acting
that he discovered within himself a capacity for producing
that which men will not easily let die. When a young
military man, disheartened with the service, sought for an
appointment as an Irish Commissioner of Excise, and was
sadly disappointed because he did not get it, it is probable
that he had as little idea as any one else had that he pos-
sessed that aptitude for the conduct of war which was to
make him the Duke of Wellington. And when a young
mathematician, entirely devoid of ambition, desired to settle
quietly down, end devote all his life to that unexciting
study, he was not aware that he was a person of whom
more was to be made—who was to grow into the great Em.
perer Napoleon. I had other instances in my mind, but
after these last it is needless to mention them. But such
eases suggest to us that there may have been many Follotts
who never held a brief, rawly
Keens who never acted but
in barns, many Vandyke who never earned more than six-
pence a day, many Goldsmiths who never were better than
penny-a-liners, many Michaels who never built their St.
Peters ; and perhaps a Shakspere who held horses at the
theatre door for pence, as the Shakspere we know of did,
and who stopped there,—,Fraser's Magazine.

DEATH OF MR. HENRY KNiotrr.—This venerable
and respected individual expired at his residence, at Eton,
on Friday last, at the advanced ago of 81. What old
Etonian is there to whom the name of " Old Jack Knight"
(as ho was commonly called) of the Christopher Tap is not
familiar ? His kind and generous heart was ever ready to
soothe the distresssi, and many in his own neighbourhood
will lament the loss of a warm-hearted friend. Ho has
finished a long earthly career, and descended to the grave
in a ripe old age, leaving behind him a lasting monument—
a good name. Peace to his ashes.
The Paris Bourse was weak yesterday morning,
on reports that another advance was to bo announced in
the rate of discount of the Bank of France. At the same
time, it is generally believed that the result of the recent
special meetings of the directors is that the bankers of
Paris lave agreed to some proposal made to them by the
Bank of France for mitigating the existing difficulty.
The very heavy amount of dollars brought by the
Mexican steamer has been disposed of at 59id., for the
Continent. This shows an advance of id. on the price
realised for those by the previous packet, but small sums
have been sold in the interval at higher rates, The bar
silver has been disposed of at 604 d., being an advance
of id.

A Paris letter in the Nord says :—" There is no
longer any doubt as to the official character of Borges. His
aide-de-camp, who has just been arrested in the Neapolitan
provinces, had on him important letters, signed Bosco and
Lamoriciere. What then becomes of the protestations of
M. Del Re, Minister of Francis IL f And what can be
thought of a Prince who, whilst he declares that he has no
complicity with the bands in Calabria and elsewhere, gives
to M. Borges the right to call himself generalissimo of the
King's armies ?"
M. LAMARTINE.—M. Lamartine writes to the
Paris papers to say that his detention at Macon is caused
by his having found it necessary to superintend the vintage
on his property there, as well as to remain in the country
while working with redoubled ardour at the new edition of
his works. M. Lamartine now rises at two in the morning to
his desk, and without interruption remains at it till about
eight. He then takes a slight repast previous to going out
and superintending some agricultural improvements taking
place on the property still remaining in his hands. After
the second dejeuner he again resumes his pen, and writes
till coming up at dinner time. He makes it a rule, and has
generally done so, not to write after nightfall.
AN ENGINEER SCALDED TO DEATH.—George
Mason, an engineer in the employ of Mr. Bull, a builder
and contractor in extensive business at Southampton, on
Saturday afternoon went into the engine •room of his mas-
ter's works in James-street, in that town, and imprudently
took off the valve of the blow pipe. There being no stop-
cock on the pipe, the steam and water immediately rushed
out with immense velocity, and the incautious and unfor-
tunate man was fearfully scalded. Death at once put an
end to his sufferings. His body, the skin and flesh of which
peeled off on an attempt to remove his clothes, was removed
to his residence in Coleman-street to await a coroner's in-
quest.
IMPORTANT TO VOLUNTEERS.—On the 23d of
September last George Gale, collector of tolls at the White
Ladies turnpikegate Bristol, was summoned before the magis-
trates of that city by Mr. F. Shipton, solicitor, a member of
the Bristol Volunteer Artillery Corps, for having demanded
toll of him, he being in the uniform of a Volunteer Artil-
leryman, and being on his way to the practice ground of
the corps, near the mouth of the Avon. Mr. Shipton was
accompanied by other Volunteers, but it was admitted
that there was a*eivilian in the carriage with them, and
owing to his presence the defendant insisted on
the toll being paid. On Saturday the magistrates
delivered a lengthened judgment, in which after having
reviewed the points raised by the information, which de-
pended mainly on the construction of the Act 24 and, 25
Victoria, cap. 126, they came to the conclusion that exemp-
tion from toll for carriages conveying Volunteers could
be claimed for carriages employed only in carrying or
conveying Volunteers, and that for this reason the exemp.
tion claimed in the case before them could not be allowed.
Judgment was therefore given for the defendant.
TRADE BETWEEN CHINA AND Russia.--A letter
published in the Russian journal .4moor states that, on
the 13th of June, a caravan of Russian merchants had
arrived at Tiagne-Tzine. It had left a town called Tonne
Tjoou, about 20 versts from Pekin, embarking in three
boats under the Russian flag. The Muscovite traders ap-
pear to have found that some English speculators had
anticipated them. The Russian report describes the town
of Tiagne-Tzine as populous, and the inhabitants actively
engaged in traffic with English merchants. The latter
had opened about a dozen establishments, well supplied
with European goods, ,but at very high prices. The
Chinese shops are principally stocked with English cotton
stuffs, manufactured to snit the Chinese market. Tho
Russians were waiting for the arrival of Chinese goods, of
which the town contained but a small quantity, and had
consequently done a very limited amount of business.
AUSTRIA AND HuNaAßY.—Austria and Hun-
gary once more stand face to face before Europe, Austria
drifting every day more and more into the one feeble hope
of repressing all life in her dependencies by a dexterous use
of military force; Hungary asserting the majesty of the
law, inspired with life and hope, united in itself, and show-
ing to the world the difference between a paper oonstitution
and a real historical ane. How long this state of things
may last no one can tell, but it is difficulty to see that any
of the uses that Austria once served are now fulfilled by
her. She no longer maintains the balance of power, for her
divisions and weakness are the greatest of all encourage..
ments to France and Russia. She no longer upholds poli-
tical ideas superior to those current in her dependencies ;
for Hungary has done her utmost to reject the Concordat
which Austria has tried to impose on all her subjects. She
no longer furnishes a race of princes and statesmen superior
personally to the leaders of her provinces ; for no prince or
statesman at Vienna is fit for a moment to be compared to
M. Deak. The only service we can ever expect from her is
that she may last just long enough to prevent the consoli-
dation of Italy, the union of Germany, and the establish-
ment of an independent Hungary being accomplished be-
fore everything is ripe for their accomplishment.—Fraser's
Magazine.

FISH BROUGHT FROM CHINA.—Among the late
arrivals at Toulon, from China, is an intelligent Chinese,
who has brought with him some four or five thousand
young fishes of the best kinds produced in this country.
These were transmitted in three jars, the water being
changed frequently on the way. When the voyage from
one port to another was too long for this, the simple
expedient was adopted of throwing the yoke of an egg into
each jar. On arrival our Chinaman was amazed at the
price charged him for a fish breakfast at Toulon, and wrote
a short memoir showing how anybody having a small pond
at disposal may raise any quantity of fish at almost no ex-
pense. All that is necessary is to watch the spawning time,
and throw yolks of eggs: into the water from time to time,
by which means an incredible quantity of the young fry are
saved from destruction. These specimens of the produc-
tions of far eastern rivers and lakes are to be presented to
the Minister of Agriculture, and will probably figure in the
new aquarium in the Bois de Boulogne.—Geignani.

A FATHER MURDERED BY HIS SON.-011 Satur-
day last an inquest was held at the Anchor Inn, Liphook,
Hants, before Mr. Edward Hoskins, one of the coroners for
the county, on the body of William Trussler, a sawyer, re-
siding at Cornford, in the parish of Bramshott, whose
death had resulted through injuries inflicted by his son,
George Trussler, who was in the employ of his father.
From the evidence it appeared that a man named William
Windebank, also a sawyer, went to work with George Truss-
cl eera
saboutmorning, when the de-
ceased
so late, telling them
they ought to have done half a day's work. George
Trussler said to his father " It's no difference to you if we do
upbraided7o'clock themon Thursdayfor
our work." Deceased said to him, "You are spending
my money," and then said to George's wife (who was
standing about three yards from him, in the garden in front
of the cottage) " Did you not begin at Bill (meaning Winde-
bank), and he put you down on the bank, and rolled over
you, and helloed and squeaked out like a horse and mare ?"
This remark seemed to put the son in a great passion, and
he took up an oven-peel lying on the bank, which
formed the fence in front of deceased's cottage, and ran
towards deceased, and struck him a blow behind the left
ear with the blade of the peel. George Trussler held the
peel in both hands, and the blow was a severe one. De-
ceased fell to the ground, and blood immediately flowed
from his mouth and nostrils. In falling, deceased struck
his head against a flat paving-stone. Mr. Fredk. Vaughan,
surgeon, of Bramshott, was sent for. He found a wound
behind deceased's left ear about an inch and a quarter in
length, from which blood was oozing. Deceased never re-
covered consciousness, and died in about 12 hours after the
blow had been struck. The jury returned a verdict of
" Wilful murder against George Trussler," who stands
committed to take his trial at the next Winchester assizes.
SUICIDE IN A LIGHTHOUSE.--Last week one of
the light-keepers stationed at the Longships Lighthouse, off
the Land's End, committed a most determined act of self-

destruction. It appears there were three men on duty at
the time, and one named Harding had gone to the upper
room to take some rest, leaving the other light-keepers on

duty. When a change in the watches came on one of tho

men on duty went to call up their comrade, and upon enter-
ing the room found him bleeding profusely from a wound
which ho had inflicted with a knifo in his breast. The two

men endeavoured to step the bleeding by placing some tow
in the wound, until assistance could be obtained. In this

state the three men remained together through Thursday
night, and on the Friday morning two black flags were
hoisted as signals of distress. Assistance having arrived,
the dying man, from the roughness of the weather, was
obliged to be swung out of the lighthouse into the boat,
and was thus brought ashore to tell his own tale. He

deeared that he did not regret having done it, and that to
render the wound more effectual he put the handle of the
knife into it after he had stabbed himself. Mr. A. Harvey,
surgeon, of St. Just, was soon in attendance, but the man
died very soon after he was brought ashore. He was no-
ticed to be affected very much in his head of late, and was
often very desponding. lie unfortunately leaves a wifo
and three children. An inquest was held on Monday, when
a verdict of temporary insanity was returned.—llymouth

PARIS, OCT. 8.

The Aloniteur of this morning, in an article on
the prices of breadstuffs, says :
"In view of the arrivals of corn and other pro-

the riso in prices, which has already made a retro-
grade movement, will not be maintained. In any
case the price of a kilogramme of bread will not
exceed 50c., as the Caisse de la Boulangerie will
cover the d fference, if, contrary to all expectation,
no fall in the prices takes place.
