SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM

.New York, Oct, Shy the arrival of

dard, from Havre, We have London and
Havre papers to the 9Th inst, inclusive.
The stulbed districts were quiet. 4
number of those who had been arrested,
were tried and found guilty Of high trea-
son.
Fire at Aambwg.-A Hamburg paper
mentions, that some days ago, when the
rubbish was cleared away, in some
places, for the purpose Of commencing
the erection OF new houses, the flames
barst forth on several points, although
nearly five months had elapsed since the
great-iire.
Great Fire at Kasae. A Berlin paper
furnishes, at length, some details Of the
great fire at kasan, by which, in less
than twelve hours, 1909 houses, nine
churches, and one convent, were .seduc-
ed to ashes. Several hay'icks, near the
city, were caught by the flames, and the
burning hay, carried through the air by
the violence Of the wind, communicated
the fire to two neishboring villages,
which were likewise destroyed. The
loss was estimated at fifteen millions of
rubles. Of which not quite million were
covered by assurances. The misery Of
the population was extreme. The Win
ter had already set in, and the surround
ing country, poor and thinIy peopIed.
could offer shelter only to very small
number of those who had been rendered
houseless. The great fire broke out on
the 9TH September, but several times, du-
ring the preceding week, there had been
destructive fires, and, on the 10th, the
Hames had not been entirely subdued.
Even the students at University are with
cut bedding, their blankets and quilts
having all been~sacriiced in attempts to
arrest the progress of the fire. This is
the tenth fire within the last three weeks,
and the sixth within one week.
The Ame1ican Treaty. Nagery.-We
perceive that the prevailing opinion OF
our contemporaries is, that the tenth ar.
ticle CT Lord Ashburton's treaty involves
the surrender by the British authorities
of slaves escaping from the II. States to
to Canada. The committee Of the Am
ericaa Ant-slavery Society have been a.
live to the question, and have had an IN
terview with Lord Ashburton in relation
to it, His Lordship clearly says, that
the tenth article was not intended to IN.

veloped by the declaration OF member
of Congress. that message was carried
from the Wing leaders in Congress to the
President, to the effect that, if he would
engage not TO disturb any members OF
his then cabinet in the enjoyment OF their
Offices, the second bank bill should be
postponed. The answer to such prop
osition may be easily conceived. The
effect Of that proposition was to prove the
identity of the members of the cabinet
whose places were deemed in jeopardy,
with the hostile members of Congress;
and if the design was to preclpltate mat
| ters. it was most effectual."
a fine specimen of Wing principles is
here exhibited! The Wing leaders in
Congress were perfectly willing to give
up their bank, If their coadjutors in the
cabinet could be permitted to hold their
Offices! If EwING could be permitted
to transfer all the Treasury Offices to Clay
Wings, and GRANGER to add 1900 more
postmasters to the list of prescribed
Democrats and rewarded Wings, they
were willing TO give up the great meas
IRE or which they tell the people the cur
tency, credit, and prosperity of the coun
try essentially depend! This is Wing
patriotism!
But the President would give no as
surance: and then the second bank bifi
was passed, that these same leaders III
Congress might denounce the President
for another veto, and their co-consprlt-
ors in the cabine have chance to retire
under pretence of principle, and JOIN in
the abuse of man they could not bride
to keep them in office. And under this
pretence some Of them come before the
country processing to reveal the conver-
sations of the President while they were
his confidential advisers! This is Wing
principle and honoW
And the President is charged, on the
faith of their disclosures, with betraying
the Wing party, for the purpose of get
ting up party of his own, to secure his
reelection, when he was dissHaded by
those re'y men from announcing his in
tention to decline the contest.
We have no inclination to comment
further on Mr.. SPENcrR's letter. II is
unquestionably the best defence of the
Administration which has been laid be-
fore the public.

From Ke,adaN's Erpositor.
Mr.. SPENCER'S LETTER.

In reply to communication from
some Of his polticalsfriends at Rochester,
New York, the Secretary of War has
made somewhat voIuminous defence of
the Administration. This letter is writ
ten with great clearness and force
Without naming Gen. JACKSON, it pays
him the highest possible tribute for his
sagacity, honesty, and energy, in put
ting down the monster bank. For MIR.
SpENcER's admissions upon that subject,
with appropriate comments, we refer to
an article extracted from the Globe.
The following extract establishes two
facts heretofore made public, but not in
manner so imposing, which show the
real character Of the Wing party, viz:
s.In proof Of the absence of all selfish,
interested or ambitious motives on the
part of the President, in the course to
which his CONVICTION of duty prompted,
may now advert to fact long known to
me, which has been promulgated in the
newspapers of the day. vouched for by
at least one Wing editor, stated by a
Representative in Congress from Massa-
chusetts, in speech lately delivered at
Newburyport, upon authority, and hith-
erto not denied. That fact IS, that, pre-
vious to returning the second bank bill
toeConerese with his objections, in full
view of the assaults to be made upon him,
and with the purpose Of removing all
cause of agitation, as well as TO secure
himself against unjust inputations, the
President submitted to his rien cabinet
whether he should, in the message then
about to be transmitted to Congress, an
hounce resolution to retire from public
life at the expiration of the existing term;
and that against his doug so, all the
members Of the cabinet, then present.
protested, Oh the ground that such an an
nunciaton would not have the effect tn
produce peace or quiet. but would only
change the direction of faction; that no
one had right to expect such step from
him, as he had not been elected Presi.
dent; aud no obligation existed that should
interpose any barrier between him and !
direct vote Of the people.
.'In connection, and yet in contrast,
with the preceding, is another fact of al
extraordinary character which, though
known by many. has lately been dis
tinctiy promuIgat 1t is Swallowed ii

We notice ia many of our soHthe rh
exchanges accounts of instances in which
apple trees of the early kind have borne
and brouy ht to perieetion second crop
oil fruit. We have heard OF many fruit
trees in this vicinity blooming, but none
produced any thing like rnatared fut.
Some of the iterat have INDUCED III Gu
rious specuIations in tracing this unusual
phenomenon to its legitimate CAUSE
The prevailing opinion, however, among
those who scarcely ever venture into
the regions of speculative uncertainty,
is, that the uninterrupted warm weather,
iaterspersed with showers of genial
rain, caused those trees whose fruit had
early ripelsed to bloom.
In some sections in the south and the
west, as many as three crops Of straw
berries have been gathered from the
same vines. A large radlsh in our gar
den, which went to seed early in the
summer, has produced second crop Of
seed.

The EoREIGN PoLICY OF ENGlAND.

1t issconlidentlv stated in the English
papers that the Duke of 'Wel5ington and
his eminent brother, lately deceased, sthe
Marquis Of Welzeszey, both men OF the
highest capacity and the largest expert
ence, and practically acquainted with the
affairs of India, heartily dlsapprove OF the
conquest of Afghanlstan, which has pro-
we'd SO disastrous to the British arms. 1t
is admitted to have been undertaken from
jealousy Of Russian influence, which was
chiefly excited by the intrigues, real or
suspected, of an officer, formerly in the
Russian service, the responsibility OF
whose actsis denied by his Government.
A fierce war is carried on by the organs
Of the late Wing administration against
the present Governor General of India,
Lord EWynborough, who is supposed to be
i'll favor of renouncing a conquest which
was undertaken without sufficient reason
and which has produced such calamftous
consequences, personal and political.
We doubt, however, whether the Bri.
fish Government will consent to a renu
nication which must tarnish the charac.
ter of its arms, and diminish that awe oil
European superiority, which is perhaps
the handspring Of its power, in the vast
regions which extend from the frontiers
of China to the indus. i n its aggressive
and lntermeddIing policy, the la'e Mini
stry evidently ''overcrcpped' itself, tt

Relative strength of The Team and
.Mpican FIeets.-From the New Orleans
papers we gather the following statement
OF the raval force Of the two belligerents.
The Texan squadron, at the present
time. consists of foar vessels, viz:
The Ship Austin, bearing the broad
pennant of Commodore Moore, mounting
eighteen "a poonders and two l9-poun-
ders.
The Brig Wharton, Capt. ]. K. To
throp, sixteen l9-peunders.
Schr. San Antonio, w. Seeger. Lieu
tenant Commanding, seven 12-pounders.
Schr. San Bernard, D. Fl. Crisp, Lieu
tenant Commanding, seven 12-pounders.
Every gun on the Texan vessels throws
shot far superior to the celebrated Paix-
han shot, in many particulars, and far
more destructive.
The Mexican squadron is as follows:
The Steamer Montezuma. mounting
two 68 Founders and eight 52-pounders,
al Paixhan guns.
The Steamer GuadaIoupe, two s.
Founders. Paixhan guns.
The old City Of Doub!in' Steamer,
two 18-poundnrs.
Schooner Eagle, one 50 and six 49,
Founders, PaTxhau guns.
Brig Pucateo, twelve 18-pounders and
two 1 2 pounders.
Brig Champecheano, one 1871 pour der
and six IL pounders.
Schooner Sisalano, one 9-pounder and
two g Founders.
Altogether, the seven Mexican vessels
mount As guns, the four Texan vessels
so guns the Mexicans, twill be seen,
having greatly the advantage in weight OF
metal.

Fire In Rtchmond. Richmond has a
gain been visited by a more destructive
fire than any that has occurred in that ci-
ty since the burning of the Eagle Hotel
in 1888. The Compiler states that the
large tobacco warehouse and factory Of
MIR. Archibald Thomas, on Virginia
street. near Mayo's Bridge, was found to
be on ERE on yesterday morning at 5 o.
clock. 1t spread with great rapldity,
destroying seven or eight large buildings
and several Offices. The warehouse con-
tanned 400 hogsheads of tobacco, belong
ing to different persons most Of it of fine
quality.
The second story. used as the manu-
factory, had in it lac boxes manufacture
ed tobacco, owned by Mr.. Thomas. We
nv nearly the whole of these were con-
sumcd, making the entire loss 100000,
of which from $55, 900 to $4,000 was
net insured. The houses burnt were a
brick factory owned by Mr.. Richard
Anderson, and two wooden houses be-
longing to Mr.. f. c. Mayo and Mr.. S..
Jacobs. Several other small buildings
we're also destroyed.
Mr.. Thomas's books and papers were
got out in perfect state Of preservation,
although the Asbesto chest in which they
were secured was ruined. There is no
doubt that the fire was Intentionally com
municated.
