John Bright Radical Discussions.
The following letter was received in Dewsbury
from Mr.. John Bright, Nj. P.:-
RoCHDALE, August 19-Dear Mr.. Cossham:-
/ see that you are menaced with an opposition
and some disunIon ut Dewsbury. [ am sorry to
see this, because disunion in a party Is weak
ness. and often admits the enemy to triumph
to which he has no just claim. If you were
second in the field 1 should urge you to retire;
and / am sure you would prefer to retire rather
than TO divide and weaken the party In whose
ranks you have all your life been. l know
nothing OF your opponent Sergeant Simon, Of
the Northern Clrcuit) except this-that he can
not be more trustworthy and liberal politician
than you are. If he has come into the held after
you, protesting mainly the same principles. but
dividing the party-therefore weakening it-I
hope he will be prevailed upon to consider the
interests OF the party as more important than
stituency. Dewsbury is new borough, and
it's electors are about to vote for the first tlme
The workiDgmen will remember that without
union there is no strength, and that breach in
the liberal party now may, and probably will
breed contention which may not be healed
for many years. II the whole body of liberals
act well together now, their course in future
will be easy and their power unassaiable.
am not writing against your opponent, for
know nothing of him. ] write only in the inte-
rests of our common principles, and the great
objects for which we are striving, which can
only be damaged when two liberal candidates
are in opposition to each other and causing
aDimosity where there ought to be union and
friendship Excuse me for troubling you with
this note and believe me always SINGER ely yours,
To Handel Cossham, Esq. JOHN BRIGHT.
Minister JOhnsOn's Visit to DisraeIi.
The Cork Ureland) Herald, of August 27,
speaking of Minister JohnsOn's visit to Mr..
Disraell, says:-The new United States Minister
has gone on visit to the Prime Minister, at his
country seat, in BuckiDghamshire. Disraell,
who is too well acquainted with the foibles of
hun an nature not TO gauge the potency of soft
solder with an indigenous Yankee, is evidently
bent on bottling up Reverdy Johnson. America.
because she is dreaded, is now, however, appa.
Tenly in high favor in courtly circles, and it is
q n arked tribute to her success that her repre-
sentatives at the present moment meet with as
LIBERAL hospitality as that which awaited the

stone thrmed That ".he United States had ceased

The BurIingame- China Mission.
The London Standard ministerial journal of
August 26) has IT, following:-
The treatment which the Chinese experience
in California Eis such as to shame Christian
land. Had the crimes OF which we read been
Ierpetiaed upon negroes in the South the radi-
cal papers in this country, no less than in Ame-
rca, would have been in a white heat of pas
sion. As it is, they are all but silent on the
subject. But the Tribune has employed a
special correspondent In California, Mr.. Mark
Twain, and he sends an account which Mr..
Horace Greeley cannot publish without acknow-
ledglng that brutality towards an 'inferor
race" is possible in other parts of the country
besides the South. Mr.. TWan says that he has
seen dogs set on Chnaman in the streets of
San Francisco, and men standing around
enjoying the sport as if they were at
bull fight. 81 have seen," he says, troops
of boys assault Chinaman with stones when
he was walking quietly along about his business,
and END HIM b uised and bee ling home" Yet
the in migration of Chinese amounts to about
thousand u week. The Americans contend that
one object OF their additioEl. treaty with China
is to guarantee protection Tor hese new comers
and TO prevent them being trea ted as outcasts.
IT nigh also have been a I'm itted that Mr.. Bur-
liugames mission is ,9.ended chiefly to add
glory and profit to the United States. All other
considerations are secondary to that. Mr.. Bur
lingame, however, will SHORTLY arrive IN this
country TO explain his errand TO Lord Stanley,
and it would be scarcely fair to condemn his
mission utterly without hearing an authoritative
statement OF its purposes and designs.
The Recent Eclipse of the Sun.
In the Mathematical and Physical Science
section OF the British Association, on the 25th
ult., Admiral Manneys, President of the Royal
Astronomical Society, took occasion to refer TO
the recent eclipse of the sun, and the several
expeditions which had been despatched from
various countries to India 10 make observations
respecting 1t. He remarked that so much atten-
tion had lately been paid to spec rum analysis
that 1t was hoped it would be poss BILE to arrive
at some knowledge of the constitution of the
sun or its atmosphere, or of both, aud much
anxiety was felt to know whether anything had
been remarked with regard 10 certain red pro-
tuberances on the sun when eclipsed; These, IN
fact, formed the main subject of observation,
and he had the satisfaction TO receive that
morning from DR.. Jansson, who was at the head
OF the expedition which had been sent out to
India from Paris the following telegram:-
'Aug. 81, 1868. Eclipse. Observed protube-
