United States Naval Affairs.

Advices from Havre July 81, say:-
The corvette Ticonderoga, Captain Robert H.
Wyman, came into port on Tuesday last from
CoWes, having left on Monday in company with
the Franklin, Commodore Peunock, bearing
Admiral Farraguvs flag, and the corvette Oanan'
daigua, Captain Strong. The gunboat Swatara,
Commander Jehers, has also been here for
while. The little squadron that Admiral Far
ragut collected in English waters is again
divided, and each vessel is now on an Jude
pendent cruise to make the final visits to the
various European ports on the Atlantic coast.
The Franklin sailed direct for Gibraltar,
where she will touch for day or two, and then
straightway sail for Smyrna, where the gunboat
Frolic, Commander Harmony, is ordered to meet
her. The Admiral will then tranefer his flag TO
the Frolic and proceed to the Bosphorus, to
visit Consantinople and pay his respects to the
Sultan.
Mrs. Farragut and Mrs. Pennock came over in
The Tconderoga as passengers from CoWes, and
escorted by Surgeon Bannon, OF the Franklin
Fleet; Secretary Welles and Lieutenant Royal
Far1agut of the army, proceeded to Paris and
thence to Vienna, where they Will take steam
boat to the Black Sea and TO O9nstaIntlnoPle'
pate in the amusements and pleasures of the
Turkish capital.
The Admiral was good deal troubled to find
a country to visit that he had not already seen.
In this quandary he met Sir Lytton Bulwer, the
English Ambassador to the Sultan, at dinner
given to Mr.. Longtellow, In London, aud the
diplomat was so enthusiastic in his description
of the beauties Of the Golden Horn that he
finally prevailed upon the Admiral TO visit Con-
stantinope. So the Turkish trip was decided
upon, and the Franklin is already en- route for
her destination.
) After the visit to Turkey is completed run
will be made to the Levaut and the various
islands of the East. In the early part of October
the Admiral will come out Of the Mediterranean,
and the squadron will rendezvous at Lisbon and
on the 18th OF October, if no change is made in
the present programme, the Admiral will sail
for New York in the Franklin and the squadron
will be placed under the command of Vice-Ad-
miral Porter who is named for the place if he
will take it, or Rear Admiral Radford.
Admiral FarIaguts successor will probably
reach European waters in November. 1t is
hoped that the department will not weaken the
squadron by recalling the cOrvettes and falling
to send out reliets. As the coast of Africa to
point south OF the equator is in the limits of the
European squadron, and as 1t must be visited
every year, it can readily be seen that two or
three vessels will be entirely inadequate to the
proper performance of the duties OF our squad
ron in Europe. Our flag ought to be shown in
every port of Europe at least once year, aud
to carry out that plan requires more than the
squadron the Navy Department proposes to
maintain abroad.

The Election Canvass.

Herald correspondent at Chesterfield writes:
The contest in East Derbyshire is being carried
ON nv the Tories with extraordinary vIgor, the
hypocritlcal cry OF "No Popery" being raised
with unsurpassed shameessness. To meet
these tactics worthily and expose their baroness
q popular address has been prepared on the spot,
which sets the facts in a true light, and as the
same work may have to be done IN other con-
stituencies the same address may perhaps be
found useful as an example of animated popular
appeal 1t opens-"Brother Electors &! Be not
deceived. The Tory canvassers din you with
the cry of NO Popery,' and charge their oppo-
nents with the design of fostering Popery' in
Ireland with the aid of the State. HOW can these
men make such statements in the presence OF
each other and help laughing outright? The
cry applies to their own party; the charge re-
bounds from the accused ana strikes 1atally
against the accusers. What are the facts? At
the beginning of the present session of Parlil-
ment the Government deemed 1t necessary to
declare it's Irish policy. Lord Mayo, the Chief
Secretary for Ireland, skeched that policy, after
a formal notice, to full and eXpectant House
of Commons. What were its main features
Protestant ascendency was to be abandoned; O
Roman Catholic university to be endowed by the
State and an approach to religious equality to
be made by Hevelling up process. In other
words, the Catholic priests were to be raised to
the same position as regards the State as the
Protestant clergy, and we were to have in effect
two Established Churches in Ireland, at the
expense of the people. This plan surprised
everybody and pleased nobody, The liberal
party were utterly opposed to 1t. All the
Presbyteriaus of Scotland were outraged by it.
The Protestant dissenters of England would not
hear of it. The best portion of the members
of our own Church in this country cried shame
upon it; and the Roman Catholics of Ireland
declared they would have none of 1t. The
scheme was too clever by half. No wonder that
accomplished dissembler Mr.. Disraeli, was
ashamed of his offspring and tried to repu-
date it.n

AUSTRIA.
EmIeratisn to America from the EmpIre
Proper and Hungary.

Advices from Vienna July 20, say
Emigration statistics are usually, II not
invariably, taken at the port of embarkation;
but as Trieste is now the only frst-class port
possessed by the dual empire of Austria and
Hungary, and that Trieste, so far as passenger
traffic is concerned, is nothing but a link in the
daan of communication between the west of
Europe on the one hand, and the Levant and
the farther east on the other, the fact that the
Austro- Hungarian Empire has no emigration
department, and consequently no emf
grafton statistics, ought to occasion no
surprise. As the statistics of emigration
taken at Hamburg and Bremen, and from these
two ports the greater part of the westward cur.
rent of emigration from the empire is shipped,
do not distinguish the State or nationality to
which the individual emigrant by way OF those
two ports belongs O statesman of the dual EN-.
pire who should desire to gauge the volume OF
emigration to the Western continent which
proceeds from Austria and Hungary would have
no orher sources of information than the status
tics (arranged according to State or nationality
which are published annually by the Federal
Government of the United States, ana are con-
dented and commented on in the decennial
census reports of your Government and the
annual reports of the Commissioners of immi-
grafton at the ports of New York aud Boston
and of the Immigration Department OF the
Government of Canada.

Murder OF Settlers by the NatlvSs-DIpIo-
matte News.

The Irlbune'S cores spondent says:-
KaikouTa, an old Maori chief belonging to
Mongamonga, New Zealand, met his death by
fall from his horse while proceeding to the
Amuri pah. His age is unknown, but some OF
the oldest Maories in the district state that he
must have been over one hundred years. The
new Maori king in the province of Auckland is
likely TO cause a serious collision between his
followers and the friendly natives.
On Friday, the 18th of June, says the Yelling
on independent, the distressing intelligence
reached Wellington that an unfortunate settler
named Cahill had been brutally murdered and
mutilated, by the natives, near Ketemarae, and
in the course of the following morning the Storm
brought to wellington Lieutenant-Colo
Mcdonnell, who was the bearer OF the sad ne VS.
that three other settlers, named respectively
Clark, Squires, and Smith, had met the same
fate From what we now learn, it seems that
Cahiil, Squires, and Clark were in the act OF
building house near Ketemarae, when a mur-
derous volley was fired at them by ten
natives, who Immediately after jumped upon
their victims, whom they literally cut to pieces.
The other unfortunate man, Thomas Smith,
was a troop in the Armed Constabulary. He left
camp (Waihi) about o'clock, to catch his horse.
After catching 1t, and while In the act OF mount
ing, Volley was fired from behind bush and
he fell, the Maories rushed on him and severed
his lower eXtremities from the upper part of his
body, which they bore off. The occurrence of
these tragedies naturally created the utmost in
dlgnatlon, and no little alarm, among the set
tiers IN Wanganui.

ITALY.
Her Relations with Prussia-Tho Secret
Despatch.

Advices from Florence July Sd say:-Much
excitement has been caused throughout the
peninsula by the publication OF the Prussan
staff report of the ''Six Weeks War" of 1866, in
which the part supposed to be taken by Italy in
assisting her German ally has been completely
ignored as we'll as direct insnuations as to the
utter incapacity of the Italian generals, with
sneers at the "vaporing enthusiasm" OF the
Italian troops, Notwithstanding that their every
effort during the campaign ended in 'deieat aud
disaster.n The irritation has not been allayed
by the "scene" which has just taken place in
the Chamber of Deputies caused by General La
harmora reading, for all whom 1t may concern,
the "secret despatch" from Berlin to Florence
at the opening of the campaign, in connection
with which he attempted TO show that Bsmark
wanted to force on Italy a certain line of action
that would only serve the interests of Prussia
alone and at the same time strip Italy of any
share of glory in the great struggle with her
Austrian enemy. La Marmora's personal pres
tige has been materially diminished since 1866,
and 1t is thought in his efforts to recover it that
he will get up an anti-Prusslan feeling in the
country reckless OF all consequences. The real
facts in connection with the matter are inter-
esting. Three weeks before the breaking out of
the war for the liberation of Venice, Count
dUsedom, the Prussian Minister at the Court of
Florence, had repeated conversations with Gene
raj La MarmoIa. The Prussian Minister
sought TO impress on the General how desirable
it was that the Italians should not throw them
selves inConsiderately upon the Quadrilateral,
but should act IN perfect agreement with their
Prusslan allies, in order to secure the great ain
of their league the breaking up of the Austrian
monarchy. Count d'UsedOm was not alone in
those conversations with General La Marmora;
his views were repeated and enforced by an
elderly officer, General Bernhard, the military
representative attached to the Prussian EN-
bassy at Florence.
The secret despatch read by La Marmora to
the Chamber of Deputies the other day, was
made by him to represent an attempt by Prussia
on the very eve of the six weeks ampaign to
dictate to Italy certain strategcal plans about
W a al an 1ln hn alc Of
Italy had been previously consulted. 1t was.
your readers will perceive, about as much the
reverse of all this as any paper could possibly
be, for 1t was only summary of numerous dis
cussions that had already taken place, and, so
to speak, embodied a warning and protest in
which the other italian generals opposed to
General La Marmora's views heartily sympa-
thized. La Marmora followed his own devices;
disregarding both the counsels of his Prussian
allies and of his own military colleagues, he
deliberately knocked his head against the iron
front of the QuadIlateral at its hardest spot and
the result was Custozza, speedily followed by
that other disaster at Lissa.
