AaYnfrH IN ENGLAND.

We make the following extracts
from tue London correspondence vi
the Richmond Times, dated 7th inst.
The radical leaders are exertipp
themselves to the uttermost Of their
power to coerce Parliament into the
passage of the franchise bill. rhey
do not confine themselves to hoIdin1
meetings of their constituents in the
Counties, cities and boroughs in
which the people assembling reside.
but are attempting to get up mon
ster mob from all parts of the island
to crowd at the doors of the halls of
legislation and demand that the pro-
posed measure shall be made a law.
10 draw together this mob, thev are
resortlng to various devices. The
people are not only urged to come to
the metropolis by the blatant voice of
the demagogue on the hustings, but
radical employers propose to make
the 18th of the month (thc day ap-
pointed by Mr.. Bright on which 'to
fill Parliament street from Clarino
Cross to the Abbey gates with his
followers a holiday for their en-
ployees, and to get up cheap excur-
sions from the radical strongholds to
the metropolis. With this view. they
have issued circulars, which are being
distributed amongst the mannfac-
turers of the right stripe, and doing
everything in their power to secure
concert of action. Should they sue
ceed In getting together such mob
MS they desire, and in infusing into it
such sentiments as they have been
proclaiming recently, there is every
reason to believe that the affair will
terminate in broken windows and
broken heads. and, it is to be hoped,
IN the exemplary punishment of its
originators.
There is law upon the statute
book of our country which makes it
criminal ,'ffence for more than fifty
persons to assemble within one mile
OF the houses Of Parliament while it
Is Ill session. with view of delibe.
rating upon any matter then before
the Legislature, and for the purpose
OF influencing itsaction. Should the
radical leaders succeed in bringing
tins mob together, they will put
themselves clearly within the terms
OF this law, and your correspondent,
for one, devoutly hopes that it will be
enforced against said leaders to the
letter. Such hopes, however, are
vain, because the bill under consider
alton is the measure of the Govern
ment, and upon them would rest the
burden Of prosecuting the disturb
ers, which, of course, they would not
do, as they rely upon the mob to
coerce the house into passing the
measure. Without some such influ-
ence, they feel that the scheme will
fail, and with it the present ministry
would most probably go out. 1t is
merely Il trick to keep in power,
WHICH they have allowed themselves
to be taught by the irrepressiblc Mr..
Bright.

GOLD DISCOVERIES IN Y1RG1S1A :

GOLD Discoveries IN VIRGINIA.
Considerable excitement has been
produced in Washington and vicinity
by the discovery of gold on the
Potomac River. near the Great Falls,
twelve miles above Georgetown. The
precious metal is alleged to be found
on both sides of the river, and several
small companies have been at work
mining for months past, but as yet it
does hot appear that the treasure
obtained has been very great Hither-
to the quartz has been shipped to
Philadelphia t. be crushed. but
recently one of the mining compa-
nies has erected crushing mill near
the diggings. The quartz contains
what Is known to miners as Gree
gold" that is, the metal is not equally
distributed in fine particles through
the rock, but is collected in thin
threads Of pure metal For this
reason, assays OF tie ore are, for
obvious reasons, not reliable. ASSAYS
of some of the ore found in this
region show yields at the rate Of from
Si9 to S2l9 to the ton.

F'"cts Worth Remembering.
HTper'S 1Nugasiae and Weekly, be-

war, they found out something else
better, and reversed their course
There have been of late no more I'M
scrupulous and reckless vilifiers of
the South, to say nothing of North
ern Democrats. than those two publi-
cations. Now that the war is over
they find, like the Herald, that it is
impossible to recover their Southern
circulation, and they whine accord
1ngly. Whereupon, says the Mont
gomery (Ala.) Mail:
Our objection to the Northern H.
lustrated newspapers was based upon
the indecent and immoral effect of
me sensational engravings upon

clrcnlatlon. The tendency of those
pictures Is to instil into the minds

| The President is determined that
the neutrality laws of the United

faith and with entire fairness in pre-
serving the peace between Great
Britain and the United States should
the Fenians seriously endanger it.
1t is expected that the Committee
OF Ways and Means will, early this
week, report some of their proposed
amendments to the internal revenue
bill, especially relative to reductions
and exemptions. They have not vet
considered the branches with regard
to tobacco, distilled spirits, and the

the President.
Speaking of Stansberrv's appoint

President last evening expressed the
hope that the Senate would act favor
ably upon the nomination, as
United States Court for the trial of
Davis could then be opened at Nash

Judge Stansbccry is appointed

lEVENiNG TELEGRAPH SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE
PITTsBURG June Ii, 1866.
The following hasty jottings of our travelling
adventures are presented for the amusement OF
your numerous readers. We commence with
BALTIMoRE.-A regular line of omnibuses is
supposed TO have uniform rates of fare. Not so
here. Crossing to Harrisburg depot you can
take your choice-walk into the bus with
dignity and pay thirty-fve cents, or dicker with
the conductor outside and go for two bits in the
same coach. Mem.-DicEer next time in Balti-
more. At Harrisburg depot there is polite atten-
ton; also, at all hours OF the night, cup OF
coffee that is not smoky, but Mocha-real nut
brown, delicious coffee, SO divinely loved by 'the
late Henry Ward Beecher."
Up the Susquehanna and Juniata bottoms (the
''Blue Juniata," where roamed the Indian maid >
the Bright Alfaretta," some years ago), the
winter wheat and grass crops are looking lusty.
On the uplands, however, the farmers complain
Of drouth and prospect of short crops. There
was shower Sunday morning over the Ale
ghenies, but, from appearances, it was mostly
wasted on the wilderness, not extending much
TO the settlements on the eastern slope. Butter,
twenty to twenty-five cents; beef high, and cat.
tie never so high-so the farmers say. The
apple crop promises to be abundant.

| likely TO enjoy, provided there is butter-knife
| furnished and the servants are attentive.
Over the mountains the rain has been abun-
dant, as far down as Pittsburg, perhaps further.
Crops, especially grass, show signs of drouth.
| Winter wheat also poor.
PITTsBURG.-Arrived Sunday evening. Hav-
| ing to leave at A. NJ, do not wish to go to
| bed So, take stroll 10 the direction of a
| church, the resoundlng notes of whose organ
| attract us in. The sexton is too polite. The
| easy cushioned seats and dreamy music WOO
tired nature to repose, and we hear too little
| Of the preachers excellent discourse. At ten
o'clock or thereabouts the sexton gently wakes
us. Forgetting where we are, we hastily inquire
about the Chicago train and our bill for lodging
IN the same breath. The good man tells us we
must still be dreaming; he dresnt keep hotel
but contributions are always acceptable for the
benefit of The church. Begging permission to
understand his little remark as a 'Ioak J" we each
award it a first premium of twenty-five cents,
for the express use and benefit Of his little
jokers at home, and liquidate accordingly. We
| tender our apologies, and trust that if we ever
stop in Pittsburg another Sunday evening to
await the train, we may make better use of our
religious privileges than sponging lodgings out
