ENGLAND.


LONDON, May 25.-The steamer Pan.
dora, which last year made voyage to
the Arctic regions, for tho purpose Of
discovering memorials Of Sir John Frank
lin, has been reftted for another voyage
to Smiths Sound, to bring to England
any dispatches deposited there by Capt
Mares Arctic expedition. She left Ports
mouth to-day, and will await papers
from the Admiralty at Cowes, whence

THE FIRE AT DRIsToL. ..,.
The fire which broke out at Bristol
last night is now under control. The
loss is unknown. The FIRE is, however,
/ the most extensive that has ever visited
Bristol. =.
The Press comments favorably upon the
attitude OF the government towards the
Berlin conference. A dispatch from Vi
emma says that England's note relating 10
the memorandum Of the Chancellors,
assigned Us reason for her refusal to ac-
oede thereto that the powers were sub:
stantially agreed, that the original note OF
Count Andrassy went as far as it could
without an infringement Of the powers oil
sovereignty, that sufficient time had not
been allowed for the execution Of the ac.
cepted reforms, that gross breaches Of
neutrality had prevented the pacitication
which the powers considered necessary to
the execution Of the reforms, that the
proposed military disposition OF the
Turks and Insurgents seems to England
premium for renewed hostiIities,
that the gigantic system OF gratuitous
relief proposed would be beyond
the Turkish ability TO grant, and would
be seriously destructive Of the morality,
thrif.incss and industry Of the people;
that the proposal to take more efiectual
measures at the end Of the two months
armistice is sufficient encouragement TO
the insurgents to continue the rebellion,
and an inducement 10 Montenegro 10
prosecute new breaches Of neutrality,
hoping thereby TO obtain an accession Of
territory, and that the proposal to bring
war ships into the Dardannelles amounts
to n proposal to violate the treaty Of 1856,
and isdirectly contrary to the long estab:
lished custom OF preventing vessels Of
war from passing those straits.

by the committee, placed in the resolu'
lions, reported to the convention and
adopted with enthusiasm. But q short
time afterwards the state of Massachu'
sets took it up and at all the succeed
ing conventions of the new organization
in the different states it was accepted OF
course. Therefore, whatever honor OF
dishonor there is to the act OF naming
the republican party Horace Greeley is
entitled to it. The authority for this
statement is gentleman who was init
mate with Senator Howard, heard the
statement from himself, and was a
prominent member of the committee
which reported the name to the conven.
ton -Ex-Gov. Austin Blair. A full
state ticket was put in the field, Of
whom is remembered Governor, Kins-
ley S. Bingham, clear.headed old
farmer of Livingstone county Whitley
Jones, of Lansing. auditor.general Sey.
mour b. Treadwell, of jackson, land
commissioner S. NJ. Holmes, of De.
troit, treasurer and Jacob M. Howard,
of that city, attorney general. After
the nominations were completed speech.
es were made by Messrs. Walbridge,
Christiancy, Howard, Beaman, Blair
and many others, and general enthusi-
asm prevailed. AS Mr.. Blair said,
they felt sanguine of success, as they
knew that there was majority opposed
to the democracy in the state if they
could only unite it, and they were sure
the days work had done that.
In the ratification meeting in the
evening, Mr.. Chandler, who had remain
ed down town all day, away from the
convention, was called out on the bal
cony of the hotel, where he made brief
remarks indorsing the action of the con.
ventiou, but in hesitating and doubt
full manner. He doubted the fruitful.
ness of the new union and did not wish
to commit himself too strongly. The
Patriot closes thus: During the time
that has interviewed since the formation
of the republican party under the oaks
at Jackson the country has witnessed
great changes; so has the party, and al
so the locality of its birth. Where
stood the thick forest of oaks, are now
seen fine residences and cultivated yards
and flower beds. In small numbers the
trees have been cut away and destroyed,
until now but few struggling trunks
remain, and even these are being re.
With the arrival of next No.
vember, not one of the trees that shelter
ed the fathers of the republican party
who gathered around at its birth, will
be standing to mark the spot. The
stride of civilization has doomed that
nature shall not longer furnish monu-
ment to designate its birth place. Will
not its present foster-father, the man
who wished for its death at the labor,
Secretary Chandler, read some omen
from ths-evil for himself and associ-
ates, but good for the country at
large ?"
