Further About the Loss of the North
HrttOu.

MONTREAL, November 1.-THE third officer
of the steamship North Briton has arrived
at Father Point in schooner He reports
that the North Briton struck on Parquet
Island, at one o'clock, on the morning of the
5th. 1t was then blowing gale. She was
totally wrecked, but no lives were lost.
The passengers and crew were landed at
Port Mingan. One boat, with seven hands,
has not been heard from since it left the
ship.
The North Briton sailed Saturday, Novem-
her 2. with fifty.one cabin and thirty-eight
seersge passengers, for Liverpool.
The following is the statement of Mr..
Brown, the third officer: When the ship
struck it was blowing a gale, and the
weather was very thick. The ship continued
striking very hard on the reef on Tuesday
night and all Wednesday, and it was ex-
pected she would go to pieces every moment.
A boat with the crew broke away from the
wreck before it was loaded, and it could not
be brought back till Tuesday morning, after
daylight, when all the passengers were
taken off without accident, and transferred
to two schooners, which landed them at
Port Mingan, and few houses about nine
miles below. At Port Mingan the passen.
gers were all housed in store-house, having
few blankets, which were got from the
wreck, to sleep upon. The store-rooms were
all under water, causing a scarcity of pro-
visions. The lower cabin was all broken up
and most of the baggage. Only a few of
the mail-bsgs were saved, and these were
perfectly saturated.

Old John Bull never forgets his preiudices
or his interests, and all his facts become dis
torted as they are seen through these me-
diums. Every English paper we pick up has
lecture, or a speech, or a popular essay,
from some locally distinguished Individual in
Great Britain, who feels it to be his duty to
understand the american" war better than
his neighbors, and therefore is required to
enlighten them. They all speak like oracles
and not one of them doubts that he efhas dis
covered the real cause of conflict If he is
an English cotton broker, shipper or manu-.
facturer, it is free trade which is the trouble,
and the rebels, English people are assured
will never, and ought never to submit to be
taxed to sustain Northern manufacturers,
and, moreover, the blockade ought to be
broken. If the orator has aristocratic SYM
pathies, IL is universal suffrage which has
ruined the country, and his hearers are told
that any country is on the way to ruin which
attempts to enlarge its political franchises.
The one sympathizes with the rebels because
of his love for the trade, the other because of
his hatred of democracy-snd so they blum
der on, fercing all the events to bear the
particular impress of their sel6shness or
preconceived political notions. They can
see nothing like great principle in the reso-
Lutte purpose of q nation to maintain its own
existence, under such political forms as suit
the genius of the people, and under which
they have so greatly prospered. Of all people
in the world, the English are the least capa-
BILE Of understanding foreign politics, and
yet they are the most ready to meddle with
such Observation-Disclosures Ledger.

The Ortiz Mine Grant, New Mexico,

The General Land Office has received from
the Surveyor General of New Mexico at
Ssnta Fe, return of survey for the Ortiz
Mine Grant, claimed by the New Mexico
Mining Company. This claim is founded on
a Mexican grant to Jose Francisco Ortiz and
lgnacio Cano, made in 1888, according to
the mining ordinance then existing in the
Department. On the transfer of the country
to the United States, the rights of bona tide
grantees under the Mexican Government
were fully protected by the eighth article of
the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in l848.
The Constitution and laws OF the United
States were extended over New Mexico by
the act of September 8, 1850, and by the act
of July %, 1854, provision is made for the
Investigation of titles originating under the
former Government. By the eighth section
of this act, it is made the duty of the Sur.
veyor- General to ascertain the origin, nature,
and extent of all prior claims under the laws,
usages and customs of Spain and Mexico,
and to report the result to the Secretary of
the Interior, to be laid before Congress.
The Ortiz Mine case was favorably reported
by the Surveyor General, November "a, 1860;
laid before Congress January IL, 1861 and
finally confirmed by special act, approved
March l., l86l-said act containing the pro.
viso that this confirmation shall only be con-
structed as a quit claim on the part of the
United States not to affect adverse rights of
any other person or persons. The survey
now returned embraces an area of 9459
33-l00 acres. The grant is situated about
twenty five miles south of Santa Fe, in Bear
Mountain, and is called Santa Rosalia.
By thesamer return of the Surveyor. General,
the General Land Office is in possession of
the survey of location No. 2 of the claims of
the heirs of Louis Maria Baca, finally con
frmed by act of June 81, lSS0-embraeing an
area of 99, 289 30-l00 acres.

Port Royal Entrance.

The landing of the Naval Expedition at
Port Royal and its probable occupation by
the Federal troops will give interest to the
following description:
The harbor of Port Royal or Beaufort is
about rs miles south west of Charleston, and
is about equal distant between that city and
Savannah. The entrance from the Atlantic
between Hilton Head Island and st. Helena
Island is about three miles wide, and has
even over the bar three and half fathoms,
or twenty one feet, and probably twenty
seven feet at high tide. Within, the navies
of the world might float. Sixteen miles from
the sea is the town of Beaufort, the water ap.
pIoach of which does not admit vessels over
eleven feet draught. A few miles back of
Beaufort is the railroad connecting Charles.
ton and Savannah itself spproachable by
Port Royal Inlet and ST. Helena Sound. The
whole of this region should be studied on
the map, as it has quite an amphibiOus char
acter. The mouths of the rivers and the
inlets of the ocean inclose number of ISL
apds of considerable size, among which may
he mentioned Hilton Head, st. Helena and
Port Royal.
The possession of the fine harbor of Beau
fort or Port Royal thus gives command of
one of the most important, and, for the de-
signs the army of the Union has in view in
making a lodgment on the Southern coast,
most advantageous bases of operation in en-
tire rebeldom. Beaufort District has an area
of one thousand Eve hundred and forty
square miles. The surface is low and level,
and the soil sandy and alluvial, producing
cotton, rice, etc., in great abundance. Our
troops will thus find themselves lodged in
the richest district (South Carolina term for
county, in the State-yielding some fifty
million pounds of rice annually, and thirteen
thousand bales of the finest quality of cotton,
the famous long staple sea island; the very
kind Europe most wants Here are over six
millions of dollars worth of crops, subject at
once to confscation, if their prOprletors per-
sist in their disloyalty. .,...-r . .r.
1t is also one of the most thickly settled
districts of the State the population in 1850

negro slaves "A property representing
$20,000,O0O. 1t is on this spot that the
shaded maps of negro distribution show the
nightliest shade. We shall thus literally
carry the war into Africa. The place is ad
mirably suited for vast camp OF instruction,
and, with proper defenses, it will not be
found difficult TO hold this whole district
against any force the rebels can bring
against us. What a splendid nucleus Of 10y.

A Summary Of Lou don Criticism.

Mr.. Edwin Booth, it is known, is q young
man who has displayed prodigious abilities
as an actor. Old Shakespearian critics, long
accustomed to watch the genius of the
boards, have said to us that he had many
qualities in common with the elder Kean,
and, indeed, that since Kean there had been
no better interpreter of the "Iagosn "Shy-
locks" "Richards' and "Othellosi of the
great bard. Certain it is, that in New York
and Boston he always fills the house with the
most refined and intellectual people Of those
cities. Indeed, his readings are so beautiful,
and general performances so chaste, that we
are told the Faculty of Cambridge College
have relaxed their rigid rule, forbidding stu
dents to visit the thester, on the nights when
Edwin Booth is to play. No higher compli-
ment could be paid to his genius.
Booth recently went to England to test his
powers before a London audience, which
many mistakenly supposed to be more
searching and competent ordeal than can be
found in this country. We have watched
the impressions produced with good deal
of curiosity; we have saved up the criticisms
of the various London journals with view
to making a summary of them; but in re-
viewing the extracts before us we have had
some difficulty in finding out what those
learned and skillful judges really think.
The poor author in Sheridan's farce could
not have been more puzzled by the varying
opinions of his dissectors than Mr.. Booth
must be by his London reviewers. Accord
ing to these, we find that Mr.. Booth "rants,
raves and tears passion to tatters" that he
is tame, monotonous, and does not rise to
the conception of the author he is "impul-
sive, enthusiastic" and "overdoes the matter,
making more of the character than the author
intended;" he is "a young man of promise"
but unused to the stage, needs experience"
he has "long delighted American audiences
and is thoroughly at home on the boards;d
be is faulty in reading" but is perhaps the
best "renderer" of Shakespeare now living
he is "a finished and elegant" but "crude
and imperfect" actor; ''fne. looking man."
but with mo particular expression in re-
pose; a man who may, "years from now,
rise to responsibility in provincial theaters,"
and yet perhaps the leading actor of the
age" good stock actor" and ''star of the
first magnitude"
These are not the opinions of Mr.. Buusby
but of the leading London writers, who pre-
tend to know more of theatrical excellence
than any other critical tribunal.-Neao York
EUeniRg Post

RoLLA, Mo, November li.-All our sick
and wounded in Springfield able to be
moved were to leave there Saturday night
for st. Louis, and orders had been given to
have the rest start as soon as they were
able.
Price had fallen back eight miles from
Cassville, near the State line, and was NOV
ing South. 1t was believed to be reliably as
certained that his policy was to lead our
army on but not to fight 'it-simpIy to keep
large force there so as to draw troops from
the Mississippi Valley.
The general belief in his camp was that st.
Louis would soon be in the hands of the reb-
els from Columbus, Ky.
There had been a good deal of trouble
about slaves escaping into Lanes and other
camps, and General Hunter had given per-
mission to owners to search our camps and
reclaim them, if they could find them.
The ten missing members of Fremonts
Body.guard had returned to Springfield
from Cassville. They report: Prices force to be
about thirty thousand strong with thirty
pieces of artillery, twelve pieces of which
had recently been received from Memphis,
whence other supplies were being received.

American Matters Abroad.
"MalakofF" the Paris correspondent Of tn
New York Times, writes:

'Mslakof," the Paris correspondent of the
New York Times, writes:
The important declaration of the London
Morning Post of Friday last, [relative to the
observance Of the blockade, and the atti-
tude of the Prince Napoleon, since his re-
turn from the United States, have DESTROYED
the last hopes of the Secessionists in a re-
cognition by England and France. The ar
ticle of the Morning Post, which was pub.
lished at the end Of Cabinet meeting,
which Cabinet meeting was called to con-
slider the appeals of the manufacturing peo-
pie in favor OF a recognition Of the Southern
order, and thus possesses all the value of an
official paper. On his side, the Prince Ma
poleon declares to every one who wishes to
hear him, that "the North is in the right aud
has all his sympathies; the power, and
strength and greatness of the country lies
in the North, and that the wicked and
groundless rebellion must and will be SUBJ
dued.n -.-,--
The firm and generous stand taken by the
Prince Napoleon, and the prospect which
even the English now see of a speedy OPEN
ing of the cotton ports by the National navy,
have brought the two governments back to
policy with which they ought to have
started, that is to say, to a disbursement
OF the rebellion, in order that II may be the
sooner quelled, and the regular channels of
commerce the sooner re- established. The
ignorance which is said to prevail in the two
Cabinets on American affairs is something
incredible, and they are only now awaken
ing to the fact that they have been pursuing
o mistaken and shortsighted policy, and
that they must retrace their steps and adopt
the policy which was plainly indicated at the
commencement of the war. ...
When the Prince of Wales returned from
the United States, the American Minister at
London, Mr.. Dallas, was invited TO Windsor
Castle, and handsomely entertained by the
Queen, as an expression of her thanks to the
American people for the attention offered
her son. In like manner, since his return
from the United States, the Prince Napoleon
has invited to the Palais Royal, to dine, the
American Minister to France, Mr.. Dayton
We understand that the Prince was warm in
his expressions of thanks for the kindness
every where shown him in the United States
and enthusiastic in his admiration of the
country and its people. -,.,-5 Il. 10
1t is now fact worth remarking, that
however much the Bonapartes and the Bour-
bons may be divided on local and personal
questions, they are united on the great strug-
gle that is now going on for the preservation
of the American Union. The organ of the
Orleans family, the Journal des Debats, which
is the best written and most, respectable of
the Paris dailies, has been generally in
favor Of the preservation Of the Union
lately it has come out stronger and stronger
for the North, and now, since the Orleans
Princes have Joined the National army, it
deals out Siege hammer blows pm the enc
mics of the Union.

SINGULAR CONDUCT ON THE PART OF A Coal
DEALER.-The Troy papers chronicle a sin
gular case which took place in that city
lately. One of the most extensive coal deal
ers in West Troy Joined the church. The
fear of the wrath to come sharpened his con-
science to such degree that he resolved to
settle bis coal account while he yet had an
opportunity. He went to one of his custom.
ers who had been in the habit of purchasing
fourteen tuns of coal year from him, and
asked if he would do him the favor to let
him make good the delinquencies of the past.
He informed the bewidered housekeeper
that every tun of coal he had sold him was
three pounds short of weight, and in the
aggregate there was about four tuns of coal
on his conscience, which had accumulated
there in their dealings. The coal dealer sent
him four tuns of coal and receipt therefor.
The story got abroad, and his friends had
him arrested as lunatic; but his sanity has
been vouched for by physician. 1t is gem
uine case of conscience.
