SACRILEGE.-Some thieves broke into the vestry of Christ Chu: ch, Salford, on Saturday night, and miB- j chievously destroyed what they could not safely carry away.

The Hon. and Rev. C. L. Cu-i. tney preached the sermon, SEVERE STOR.Al.-Oil S ir.day forenoon, between ten and eleven o'clock, London was visited by a severe stoi m. The sky became suddenly overcast, loud pe.tiii of thun- der loiiowed, and a deluge of iain and naii fed. In soma pirts ot Lonuon the str.ets were il joded to the deptn "f about a loot. The violence of tilt) w:ul was very t Few easutlities are, however, repoitei. In the public parks considerable injury has blkU done :o the trees, aud in the river several barges and .-nia.l boats have been driven from their moorings and injured by coming iuto colLsiÆ with each other. The storm was mos- vioieat on the Surrey side of thu Thames, where many skylights and windows were bro.e' by the violence I,i,h wnich the large bailstunes wore driven ag 111st them. Along Bankside, SoutllWark, Lambeth, and iierniondsey a great amount of mislh.at was done to the c.-llar stocu of various publicans. The rain entered a new y-erected building in Lombard-street and si .ked a qUCl.nt: y of lime. The heat so produced set the house on tire. Tue engines of the brigade, however, were quic riy in attendance, and the flames were speedily extinguished. At Netting Hill the inhabitants were ignoiant of tho fact that a violent storm had been raging in other parts of tho metropolis. Shortly before noon the towa and neighbourhood of Chatham were visited by a perfect nurrioane of wind, hail, and rain, accompanied by several loud pea:s of thunder and extremely vivid ligntniug. For nearly half an hour the rain descended in immense sheets of water, more resembling the fearful storms of tropical climates than anything usually experienced in those latitudes, quickly flooding most of the stree: sand lanes in various parts of the town, and in the neighbouring city of RJ- chester. The wind during the time raged with fearful violence; but no damage to property has been reported. At Portsmouth also there was a neavy gale of wind from the south-west, accompanie l with thunder and lightning, hail, and tremendous rain squalls. THE MAN WHO SAVED THE QUEEN'S LIFE."—A ludicrous attempt is being made to exait inco the cha- racter of a hero one Joan Tu: ner, an insane inmate of St. George's W orkhouse, who died recently from injuries he sustained through accidemally iailmg down a flight of steps. The circumstances immediately aitendanc upon the death were I emai kauiv simple, but the coroner per- mitted the son ot ti.e deceased to make a rambling ex parte statement witu regard to his tamer's previous history. He asserted "tuat in her Majesty the Queen was in her carriage, accompanied by Prince Leinmgen, when the horses took at tue top of Highgato Hill, and dashed down the steep. Turner, who was then landlord of the Fux public-house, ai Highgate, witnessed tho occurrence, and rushing into the road, seized the wheel horses by the head, and afforded Her Majesty an opportunity of alighting from the vehicle. The next day he was summoned to Buck. ingham Palace and rewarded with a donation of XiO, Sir H. Whately granting him permission to commemo. rate the event by placing the Royal arms outside his house. Turner, however, considered this a very inade- quate recognition of his services. In the hope of obtain- ing some further reccmpenia ho made constant a pplica- tions to the Prince Consort, of which no notice whatever was taken, and the neglect so preye 1 upon his mind that he ultimately became imbeci.e." upon the strength of this unsupported statement, certain prints are seeking to excite popular sympathy on behalf of Turner's famLY, and have not hesi ated to utter remarks in disparagement of Her Majesty and the P.ince Consort. It becomes our duty, thereiore, to deny the truth of the story. Turner, it is admitted, rendered a slight service to the Queen, tor which he was promptly remunerated, and his loss of reason is attribu able not to fancied neglect, but more properly to causes of a totally different character.—Ltady Telegraph. MURDER NEAR ANGLESEA.—On Friday night a murder was perpetratedat Lianfactuly, Anglesea, under the follow. ing eireamstances:-An old man upwards ot 70, occupied a small farm called Garnedd, in the above parish. His daughter, a widow, with four caildren-two sons and two daughters—resided with him. Recently she married a man named Richard Rowlands, who also came to reside at the farm. The deceased, Richard Wi.liams, left noma on Friday night to call at an adjoining farm, cal ed Gaerwen, to arrange about getting an engine to thrash his corn. Ho left Gaerwen at nine o'clock smoking his his pipe, and took the direction for home, to which he never returned. At daylight on Saturday morning his daughter sent her son to ascertain when deceased left Gaerwen, and on his way to that farm the boy found the body of his grandfatuer lying in a ditch. He ran home and gave the alarm. Medical evidence proved that deceased had met a violent death, there being four wounds in the head and the skull fractured. Several pools of blood were found on the ground near the body. It was proved at the inquest that Rowlands, the son-in-law, came home to his h"use at Garnedd at seven that evening, went out again, and returned between nine and ten o'clock, asked for water to wash himself, and then went to bed, as did the rest of the family toon after. The blows were believed to be g ven by a hammer. No inquiry was made aoout deceased until next morning. Prisoner went to the spot and assisted to convey the body home. He had previously cautioned the servant maid not to say he hud been out at all on the 1. riday night. Doceasod h .d given the accused notice to quit his house, but no quarrel appears to have taken p:ace. Marks were found on tho prisoner's clothes, but tae inspector could nut say that they were marks of blood. A hammer was found in tho dairy, with which the wounds might have been indicted, The accused did not account for his absence from home as the time of the murder. One witness deposed to hearing a loud cry, and anotner to seeing a light, as tiom a lantern, near the spot where the body was found. The jury, after halt an hour's cons.deration, returned a verdict of Guilty of wilful murder against Richard Rowlands. "Tows I .>.SD" GOWN' RIOT AT CAMBRIDGE.— The birthday of the Prince of Wales was ceieorated at C.imb' luge, on Saturday, by illuminations, fireworks, and other marks 01 rejoicing. Ode icport sayii: ''it, however, but cue spirit both town and gown with regard to the pr.nee, the members ot these bodies were by no means agreed amo.igst themselves, and the rallying cry of 'Town' or 'lTuwù' was heard at intervals, and an occasion;.1 sitinnisii took j.ia.'e in tue evening.

JUVENILE SMOKERS.—The New Admiralty Regula- tions, page 344, contains the following'" Officers under 0 ghteen years tf age, and boys, are not to be allowed t) take up tobacco, or to smoke, either on shore or afloat." We hope the order may prove efficacious, and arrest the now all but universal habit; but it takes a great deal to put the youngsters' pipes out.-United &r.- vice Gusette. THE NAVY ESTIMATES.—The navy estimates to be laid before the House of Commons next session are now in the course of preparation, and we believe i.hat, as nothing has occurred since the noble lord the Secretary of the Admiralty made his different statements during the last sitting of parliament which would warrant any economy in reference to our naval preparations, we may fairly assume that the total will not be less than that required lastyear.-Army and Navy Ga'.ette. THE TREATY OP COMMERCE BETWEEN FRANCS AND PRUSSIA.—M. Declercq, sub-director at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, charged with the negociations relative to the treaty of commerce between France and Prussia, has returned to Paris from Berlin. Tho negociations have net as yet led to any result—not on account ol Prussia, which has shown a strong desire ti come to au understanding with France on the subject, but owing to the opposition of the German Powers of the Zollverein. MAZZINI.—Ma^zini has addressed a letter to the work- men of Parma, in whicn, as usual, he advises them to be patient until power shall have pas. ed from tbe hands of a coterie which has never had faith in the people, or com- munity of feeling with it regarding its sufferings, its love, and aspirations, into those of men, designed, no by their riches or rank, but only by their capacity, virtue, and devotedness to the welfare ol all." Rome and Venice, as a matter of course, occupy a prominent place iu this letter. Mr. ITalliwell, not content with tho purchase of New Place, Stratford on-Avon, prtpose3 a National Shak- spere Fund," extending to the sum of from £ o0,UUU to £ <M,( 0 by which means are to bo secured the original great garden ot Snakspere, formerly a'tiched to New Place, Anne Hathaway's cottage, and other pr. perty; whilst, to complete the work, he further proposes 11 11- brary and museum, properly endowed, in which he woulJ have placed the records of the great dramatist that are scattered about the town of Stratford, along with 1 host belonging to the corporation. No single sub-crjption is to be under £5. GENERALS TURR AND GARIBALDI.—General Tun has addressed the following letter to the JIunarch'a Na. tiunale of Turin :—" Turin, November 7. Sir,—I see in your journal of to-day a paragraph which concerns my- eelf. To avoid all equivocal interpretations 1 think it necessary to repeat the words uttered to me by General Garibaldi, and which I have reported to my colleaguei and other friends :—' I do not • hink we ought to carry armed insurrections either to Venetia or to Rome- But I think it necessary that, in place of this, we should arm by every possible means, and prepare to act, on thf occasion, vigorously and together, towards conquering the entire right ot the nati. n. My motto is ever, Italy with Victor Emmanuel! Let him who thinks otherwise withdraw from the CcmmtLee, aud act as he pleases; but let him not avail himself ot my name."—I salute you. and remain, &c., S. Tuuu. j DEATH OF GEN Lit AT, Dorc r.?. — We regret to an. nounce the death of Geueral Sir Howard Douglas. lie died on Friday, in tho jtiI year of his age, having been born in 1776. His career, military, political, and scen- tific, had been both long and distinguished. Ho entered the army in early life, served m Portugal and Spain in 1808 and 1809, formed part ot tho ix;jedit:ou to VVal- cheren in the following year, returned to the Peninsula in löll, and seived there untu the cj"5(J of the ampaiin cf 1S12. He was Governor of New Bru:isv.-ieic from lditf to 1829, was Lord High Commissioner of the ionian Is- lands from 1835 to 1840, repiesented Liverpool trvlU 1:! to 1847, aud was the author of many scientific treati-es. especially on fortification and fcunno y—a subject whidJ occupied his attention until the very close of .h.6 long and active life. On POISONING OF WATCHMAKERS BY COPPER.—Dr. Perron, of Besanfon, has made some researches on the above subject, which are of interest. For several years the manufacture of watches in Besanfon has greatly in- treased; there are now about 300 watchmakers, who employ about 3,000 workmen. These workmen con. tinually handle gold and copper, and statistical obscrva- tion has proved that mortality by consumption is exceed- ingly great in this class. Out of 200 deaths in watch- makers, no less than 1z7 are caused by tuberculosis, and of the deaths by consumption in the whole population ot Besaneon, the watchmakers furnish 40 per cent., while the proportion of the number of watchmakers to that of the other population is not five per ceut. Dr. Perron believes the following to be the cause of the great mor* j tality. The sitting posture which the men are obliged to retain for so many hours in the day, and the necessity of remaining iu a cold room without exercise; the irritation of the lungs by metal dust; and the paroxysms of fever caused by the absorption of copper. The latter is thought to be the most important cause, by Dr. PerroD.—Malical Times and Gazette. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—At the Bow-street Police Court on Monday, Mrs. Barbara Catherine Wilson was placed at the bar under a remand, charged with inter- marrying with Captain William Langham Le Hunte Wilson, her former husband, Jonathan Gotobed, being still alive. The paiticulars of this case are of the most extraordinary character, Mrs. Wilson having been com- mitted for trial by a Bench of Magistrates sitting at Haverford-west, on the 11th of April last, on a charge of conspiracy with a man named Brown to palm off the child of Brown and his wife upon her husband, Captain Wilson, as son and heir. From the evidence given at Haverfordwest (evidence on which Mrs. Wilson was committed for trial to the Central Criminal Court, whence by a writ of certiorari the case has been removed to the Court of Queen's Bench), it appears that Captain Wilson is a gentleman about 30 years of age, residing at Minchmhumpton, where he has property to the amount of £ 7,000 a year, and suffers so mucn from mental disease as to be almost an imbecile. The object of palming off the child was to obtain possession of the captain's pro- perty. No evidence being offered, Mrs. Wilson was again remanded to Saturday next. A NEW COMET.—The following notice of a newly ob. served comet appears in the Edinburgh Scotsman:— West Linton, Peebleshire, Nov, 6, 1861.—Sir,—Last night, about half-past while riding home to West Linton from Carlops, 1 disco.ered in the eastern horizon a large and very conspicuous comet. At that hour it occupied a point of the horizon due east, and was but a few degrees above the earth's seeming level. It is situated immediately beneath those three stars which used to be most popularly known as the Lady's Ell. wand," and a short way distant from the eastern rest of the Milky Way. Professional duties so occupy my time and attention now (indeed always) that 1 am totally unable to give the stranger any investigation in au astro- nomical way, or to give auy particulars regarding him. Would you, then, be Kind enough to give this note in. sertion in your columns, in oruer that those able and willing to do so may let me and others know the history and intentions of this (to mei new denizen of the skies?

Curtis, passed tho following:—And this council also congratulates Mr. Aid. Curtis upon the visit paid during his period of office I by her Majesty tho Empress of the French, and upon tiie opportunity afforded to him as the representative ot this treat community of offering a most respectful and conh\l welcome and testifying in com non with his fel- low-ciuzens, not only tiie respect felt for her Majesty I but also the Jcire universally entertained that t1 friendly alliance happily existing between this country J 1.

Curtis said: With reference to the late visit 01 tne Empress of the French, I can only say ,t will most probably be your good lortune to See her Ma- jesty here again during the eusuing summer, acoom- pamed, too, by her distinguished husband. DEATH OF GEOFFROY ST. HILAIRE.—A telegram from Paris informs us of the death of the celebrated French naturalist, Geotfioy St. Hilaire, son of the famous 1 Etienne Geoffroy Sr. ililaire, who died in 1814.

1 THE LORD MAYORS BANQUET.…
1 THE LORD MAYORS BANQUET. I I The Lord Mayor's show" took place on Saturday, *nd was about as imposing as an affair of the kind could well be. An unusually large concourse of people wit- nessed the pageant, which differed very little in its details from that of last year. In the evening the usual banquet was given at the Mansion House—the guesta ine-uding the Duke of Cambri-ige, Lord and Lady Pal- merston, the Duke of Somerset, the Marquis and Mar. chioness of Salisbury, the Earl and Countess of Aylestord, Lord Stanley of Alderley, Sir George Grey, the Danish Minister, the Honduras Minister, the American Minis- ter, the Prussian Minister, the Swedish Minister, the P',i-f lit Hon. Mr. Walpole and Mrs. Walpole, the Right Hon. W. F. Cowper, Lord Truro, the Right Hon. T. Sotheron Escourt, the Right Hon. J. W. Henley, the litght Hon. Jonathan Peel, &c. Tho usual loyal toasts having been given, the Lord Mayor proposed The Army, Navy, and Volunteers," which was responded to by the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Somerset, and Lc rd Colville. The Duke of Cam. bridge, after re!erring to the iemarkable spirit shown in the raising of the Volunteer force, alluded to the sugges- tion that that body might take the place of the regular army. I do not for one moment," he said, "believe I that either the Volunteers themselves or the people of England have any such expectation. The ordinary sen- timent expressed is, that the Volunteers of England form the most admirable auxiliary forca to the army that any country in the world could pioducoj but if you were to attempt to permit that force t) take the place of the army the whole olunteer syste m would, in my opinion, utt.ry break down; nnd I am quite sure that it is a sentiment in which the Voiucteera themselves participate."—T ie Lord Mayor associated with tiie toast of The Diplo. matic Corps, the namo of Mr. Adams, the Americ:;n minister. In speaking of the American war, His Lordship said: I can assure him (Mr. Adams) of the entire sym- pathy oi the citizens of London, and I thiak I may say of the whole British people. I feel assured that our most earnest desire is to see the difficulties which now beset that groat country entirely eradicated.—(Cheers.) The American Minister, in responding, said his mission here was to continue and to perpetuate those friendly relations which have so long existed between England and the United States. It is very possible, he continued, that there may be differences of opinion between the people of the two countries upon minor subjects. You may not like the system of democracy which exists among us. We may not like your system of aristocracy and govern- ing by ranks. You may think we are sometimes too free in our manners. We, on the contrary, may think the various forms of society in this country too formal and stringent. But, my Lord, these differences of opinion can never, while the wide Atlantic flows between us, lead to mischief, and I trust sincerely that there may never be more serious differences than those I have indicated. (Cheers.) For the past 8U years there has been for America a great and glorious history; but as the same time, let me add, we take almost as much pride as yon in the traditions of England. (Loud cheers.) Indeed we claim to take the deepest interest, in everything that relates to the past and piesent of this great country. It was only the other day when an effort was made to per- petuate some memorial of the garden of the immortal Shakspere, that I saw there was ii, greater proportion of Amer cans who went as pilgrims to the spot than ot his own countrymen. The nainos ot your great men are as familiar to us as to you, and there is net an act of heroism performed here that does not awaken a responsive feeling in the hearts of my countrymen. We have the story of Grace Darling adorning the public buildings in America; aDd I assure you that the name of Florence Nightingale is held in as high honour in the United States as it pos. sibly can be here. (Cheers.) Toailudetoastillhi,her name, I will, in conclusion, say that the name of Her Majesty the Queen ot England is honoured in the re- motest hamlets of America; not because she is Queen of Englamd-for there Lave been a good many Queens whose names we do not honour; but she is honoured i D America as a pattern daughter, as a pattern of a mother and wife, and, above all, as a Christian Sovereign ot a noble people. (Cheers.) I am sure I echo the common sentiment of all in my country and in England when I say, Peace here, peace there, peace everywhere. (Loud cheers.) Lord Palmerston was received with loud and long. continued cheerine, when he rose to respond to the toast of Her Majesty's Ministers." He m,d: There were periods, not now so long distant, when those who were engaged on opposite sides in public lie, combined wi, h political antagonism tne strongest personal antipathies. Those days are nappiiv over. These who differ in public life may sometimes diiier in regard to tho principles of aetion. They may son.(-times differ as to the day in which the common principles protesscd by both are to be carried into adiou; but their differences, though they may tend to political antagonism, never lead to personal enmity or dislike. Indeed, amongst those who are most distinguished on each side o. th„ie tables which are spread —not in this convivial manner—in the Houses of Parlia- ment, with materials for mental consumption, those, 1 say, i who sit upon oppo.-ite s.des ot" tt'ose tables aro men who, at different period■> of then- lives have been 011 tho most inti. matetermsot perscn-it i:icn-Jiship,aad whose regard has out- lived their poiitiea separation. Tiitieibre 1 sa-, gentle- men, that it is lar more easy and far more agreeable now than it might have been in forme;- periods of our history, for men of different polit cal sentiments to nuct, as we are meeting t,-night, in the ass(ciat.ons ot soci tl har- mony, to enjoy tho festivity which tho magnificence of this great city affords. You have, my Lord Mayor alluded to the decorations which adorn these walls. I may say that these walls may bo assumed as an emblem of tne state of feeling of the country. (Cheers.) You have pointed out that this interior abounds with emblems of peace, indicative of the anxious desire of the country to preserve to itself the blessings of peace. (Hear.) But as we entered these walls, we saw at the portals armed men, volunteers. (Hear.) Aye, volunteers, who are the emblems of the resolution of the country to bar the entrance of the land to any who might wish, with rude and profane steps, to disturb thepoacoand tranquillity whichreign.;(Cheers.) Now, that baud ;f volunteers was not the less emblema- tical of the feeling of the country, because it consisted of men of mature ac e, and of boys hardly yet able 'o wield the musket which they had upon their thoulders. A proof, therefore, that young and old combin-3 in this country in a firm determination to guard the entrance of the laud, and to preserve that peace which we all so anxiously desire to maintain.—(Loud cheers.) My Lord and gentlemen, I may also say that we have here peace and plenty together. (Laughter.) I trust that the condition of the country is not unanalogotu tothat state; for we have bad a harvest which, generaliy speaking, has been good, and the condition of our revenue is altogether satisfactory (cheers) and, although circumstances beyond our control may threaten for a time to interfere with the full supply of th at article which is so necessary for the industry-the pro- ductive industry—c f the country, yet no doubt the tempo. rary evil will be productive of permanent good. We Ihall find in various quarters of the globe a sure, a certain, and an ample supply, which will prevent us being depen- dent upon one source of production tor that cotton which is so necessary to the industry and welfare of the country. Gentlemen, when we look abroad we see, no donbt in many parts of Europe circumstances which, if not dealt with by prudence and discrimination, may lead to local disturbances, but I trust they will not extend themselves to bring us within their range. (Hear.) On the other side of the Atlantic we witness with the deepest affliction-with an affliction which no words can express-differences of the most lamentable kind amingst those whom we can our cousins and our relations. (Hear.) It is not for us to pass judgment upon these disputes. It is enough for us to offer a fervent prayer that thoe differ- encea may not be of long continuance, and that t ey may speedily bo succeeded by a restoration of harmony and of peace. (Cheers.) Several other toasts followed, including those of the House of Lords and the House of Commons, which were responded to respectively by the Marquis of Salisbury and Sir George Grey.

WILL OF SIR WOLTAM CrBrrr.—Sir William Cubitt, F.R.S., civil engineer, f, rmeriv of Greai Gc-or,-e-s:tre,t, Wesminster, who died at his residence, Clapham-common, Surrey, on the 13th of last month, had executed his will in 1852, appointing his son, Joseph Cubitt, Esq., and Francis Thomas Bircham, Esq., of Parliament-street, executors, to whom probate was grante d by tiie London Court on the -8th u t., the personalty being sworn under ) .CHO.OOO. Sir William Cubitt was the a chiteot of Lis j own lortune; po?sestin? pr?t talent in the pr fessum to which he devoted himself, he so?n rose to eminence, and by a successful career acquired both aftiu nee and t d stinction. His public works as a civil engineer are well known, and the.r utility such as to place hixa in the foremost rank of his profession. The will of Sir William is, with the exception of a few sma 1 legacies, confined to the members of his fam ly. To his re- lict an annuity of JE1,000 is bequeathed, with a portion ct plate and furniture, from which she is to select to the | amount of XI,500, added to which there are some specific bequests, and amongst them the vMo 01 Dresden porce. lain with the gold hoop or band attached to it, presented j to him by the Prince Consort, containing the jn>crjpion and autograph letter accompanying the gift; these are directed to be retained ns heirlooms. T testator his bequeathed to his son, Joseph Cubitt, E-q., his profe- sional instruments, books, letters, MSS.. plans and papers absolutely, a portion of plate and urnimre, to the vaine of £250, and ( n -third of the entire residue of his est-it,. To each of his two dau. bte s Sir William has bequeathed a similar portion of plate and furniture, and they are each to participate with their brother Joseph in a like equal tli.rd share of the residue.

SPIRIT OF TME PRESS.I
SPIRIT OF TME PRESS. I THE AMERICAN NAVAL EXPEDITION. I (From the Yi-Aes.) I For the moment the army before Washington occupies less of public attention in America than the naval expe- dition which is to m&ke a naval descent on the Southern coast. On the 28th of October everything was rtady the troops were on beard the large fleet of iranspoits, General Sherman had embarked in tbe Wabash frigate, and had issued his directions respecting the Undirg 01 themeo. A powerful naval force, comprising 24 gun- boatf, each cartying fcur guns, is to protect the troops in their landing and, unless the published orders are in. tended to deceive the enemy, it may be possible for those at quainted with the coast to form a guess as to the point which this powerful force is threatening. The surf boats are capable of landing at oace between three and four thousand men. The largest can hold 100 men, the smalhr ores 70 each. The landing is to be in three lines; the beats not only of eaeh company, but of each regiment and biigade, will land abreast, and, as far as possible, in order of battle. The number of the troops commanded by General Sherman is not as great as first rt ported, but it is still sufficiently formidable. There are about 20,0u0 soldierf, principally New Englanders and New Yorkers, and the fleet will furnish a naval brigade, should the landing be successfully effected. It is of no use to Epe. culate on matters which will be certainties in a few days; but from the general feeling of the Northern people aud the past policy of their government, it is pretty certain that this expedition is intended for tbe capture of some Southern city or harbour which will not only give a good military position, but also enable the government to pro- claim the laising ot the blockade at one poinUrom which cotton can be bicught. The cabinet oi Washington is, of course, desirous that the charge of depriving iiurope and the world of one of the great necessaries of lite should cease to be valid. The immense interest of Englaud, and in a scarcely less degree of France, in the expoit or cot- ton from the South cannot but prejudice the commercial classes of Loth countries against a government whicn ap- pears to be the obstacle to the world'a trade. In apite of the affected indifference of the Northerners to Euro- pean opiriiin of the war, they must feel that the grow- ing embarrassments of our manufacturers and tbe DIstress of our working classes there must be an increase of bit- terness against themselves, which may produce incon- venience and even danger. It is desirable, therefore, to show that net they, but their opponents, are the real withholdes of the cotton supply. If they can seize a port and open it even nominally to the trade, they there- br take away the grounds of complaint which Europe has against them. They show that it is not they Vito prevent cotton coming out, but that it is the Southerners who keep it in. That they will get any large quantity no one can believe, for the Confederate or the state go- vernments will, of course, take care that every bale, and probably every negro, shall be removed from the neigh- bourhood of the enemy. But still the federals wili have satisfied to some extent the demands of foreign nations, inasmuch as they will be able to eay to us or the French, Here is a port; enter it and take ail the cotton you can get; you are at full liberty to trade with all whom you can find to trade with you." The military objects of the expedition do not seem qnite so clear. Seldom in the history of war has much good been done by the occupa- tion of points on an enemy's coast, and on such an im- mense territory little impression can be made by the ex- peditionary force advancing from the sea, and having no base of operations except its vessels and some hali-ruiued town. The hope of weakening the Southern army on the Potomac by a diversion has, no doubt, had much to do with the despatch of the expedition. The nectsaity of being ready at more points than one will bear hard on the Confederate government, and, though the South has an excellent system of railways, and tall bring men to tiny point of the coast in a very few days, yet a consid- erable force, and, what is still more impoitant, a large quantity of the materials of war, must be kept in each ot the great Southern cities in order to prevent a surprise and the losts of many millions worth of proptrty. As to lhe creation ot a Union party in the neighbourhood of itit: captuied city, wherever it DJy lie, tt-at is a aiaa on which the goveinnjfci.t can hardly rtly, for, even granting that there is a section of the people willing t., compromise and ic-tiorethe Union, it isLaioly likely tiiat auy adhesion to the Federal cause wiil be poatiole in the pre smite ot a Confedrate army and of a ptopte exasperated by invasion, iitne must slow what the Federal talcu- lations are, and Low far they ate ju^tiiied. A scaictiy Icss important part of the last news rtlates to the finan- cial state ot the Southern confederacy. liele we see the 1"<1 atvantage winch the North has c\er its oppon- ents. The Cor.Itneiaits ait- ,,ooi—very poor; end though from tiiLC initttciuunai poor nations have fought sticc--s- luliy a-air.H rich Ollt., yet it has Ouly been when they li Li-. ei)etli anlu)ntlti b) intense uevoiiou to ttieir cause. The Southerner's enduraute wiil he mere hardly tried than his courage. Tht: advance of the Nortnein aimiet, through tiactfi ot country without roads or loud is a dan- ger which the Confederates may afford to disregard, but the pinch of poverty will be keen, and they must itarn to bear it. The ciicular 01 Mr Meinminger on the pro- duce loan is well woitby the utteniion of those who would fairly estimate the condition of the South. Tne iecietary of the Coniedeiate Treasuiy is askc-o, firstly, whether during the continuance uf t'ie blockade any ef- forts should be made to procure luitiier subsunptious, and he returned a very clear answer to the effect that subscriptions are as valuable to the government during the blockade as sfter it, the blockade simply suspended the completion of the transaction, which wdl take pn-ce I when the cotton call te sold. The second point on which ti.e Coniedeiate public wished for inlormatlun was 11 wLL- ¡ ther the government would authorise promises to be held of aid to the planters, as an inducement to further sub- scriptions." Uu this p- int Mr Memminger pronounces clearly also, tbougb, it aeeme, not quite satisfactorily to the plauteits These gentlemen desire that government should make them advances of treasury notes, now the only currency of the South, on security of their cotton. Mr Memminger, in reply, gives his opinion that this would be as gross an economical error as the 11 organisation of labour." All the notes which tne treasury puts lorth must be for the sole purpose ot carrying on the war. It is not desirable that the value represented by these should be greater than is absolutely necessary, since such an access would inevitably tend to depreciate their value. The government would gain nothing by making these advances to the planters, and therefore, if they want money on the security of the cotton they are storing up, they must apply to the banks in the usual way. To us the Confederate Secretary's arguments seem sensible enough, but they natuia ly excite much discontent among those who have immense masses of cotton and hardly a collar. Some of the Southern prapers accordingly give vent to very loud complaints; but it must be plain to every one that such a state of things is the necessary consequence of the war, and if the boutherneit, wish to establish their independence thy must go through taig and many mere heavy trials. Cotton is, in fact, now their only currency. Notes representing so much of tnis staple must be used in the common transactions or life, and the banks may as well issue them as the govern- ment. In a few weeks it will, no doubt come to this; uud matters may be made more tolerable to the wealtny, but temporal lly destitute, cotton holders. But financial distress must continue to weigh on the South as long 1<8 it remains shut out from the world, and htr only conso- lutlon must be the enormous cost at which her enemy is indeavou ing to ruin her.

The usual gist cf Sllch remonstrances is, that the treatment is exceptional, and thrt inlrets has been sought and denied by the re"uJar tribunals of the country. Mr Seward in bis reply,°grje5 to the whole extent ot claiming despotio power ag necessity of civil war. The preservation of the com- monwealth irt according to him, the supreme law, and it is not easy to conirDvert this proposition, though Wa cannot but think that it is pushed beyond the justing necessity. In the exigencies of a civil war requiring prompt action, a government would be doltish indeed that waited for powers from the legislature. Our t)11 government in such a case would suspend the liabeal Corpus Act by causing obedience to be refuted tu tte writ, and would go to parliament lor an indemnity which would be granted or not according to the or^tnly ot the occasion. In America we do not see the cirtua. stances justifying lhe mcpensioD of the first securil y lot liuerty i but tbe judgment on this point must rtbt with the government concerned, which must be pitbtiLD.4 beat to know what its requisite to is own safety. A go. vernment like that ot President Lincoln is, however very apt to resort to extreme arbitrary measures to giv: itself a show of vigour, making up for the weakness of Its operations against the enemy by the strong hand with which it troubles its owu people. Whether frum the fault of his instructioaa ot his execution of them Lord Lyons' despatch gave a great advantage to Prebil dent Lincoln; but, as with bad chess-plajers, an iil- judged move on one side is soon followed by a worse oil the other, and the note of alarm addressed to the iSor. them States, instructing them to look to their defences has deprived the Federal government of all the credit it might otherwise liave gamed; from the rebuff to Lord Lyons. President Lincoln and his secretary, Mr Sewtro, had not the wit to see that their policy was not alarm when the credit of the government was in the mwket for a loan.
I A SOUTHERN VIEW OF THE AMERICAN…
I A SOUTHERN VIEW OF THE AMERICAN WAR. fctf ( From the Richmond Whi .) All the indications point to a long war. At one time we had hoped that the dash-the elan-of onr volunteers, unrestrained, but simply guided by able generals, would have planted our banners, before frost, in the heart of the enemy's country, and conquered an honourable peact. But a different policy has obtained. We ot the South, who were to attack, have adopted a system of de-ence: and, so far, have uniformly awaited the advance ot the toe. This may be the safer policy but we have never been able to appreciate it. Our conviction is, tt.at a victorious advance in the enemy's country is tLe or.ly road to a lasting and honourable peace. We must fibl, conquer, before we can make a treaty. It we cannot d.j this we must submit to the fate of the weaker party. The enemy have dominion of the sea he can a^al us at almost innumerable points; he can I lunder our coasts and penetrate our rivers. He is supreme in the the Chesapeake bay; be commands the Potomac he hit possession of Maryland, .N-.rtb-western Virgin and ia contending for Nlissouri and Kentutky. ii., threatens our wboie coast, he may assail ua bt tn: p. int of our extended lrontier. The wbcle situation n.u t na altered befure ,we can have peace on any terms cm. patible with honour and safely. We have nevtr rd of any plun suggested fur effecting this desirable Dicta- tion sLort ot cairying the war into the enemy's country. While we stand un ttie deteosive, and tbe entxny i» in- trenched on this side of the Potoo-ac, it ia imposs ',ie ior us to de-troy his supremacy at sea, or prevent i i I r". catory incursions on our coast. \e are subjects t-» all the disadvantages ct a t'elensive war of incetrii c,r1. tion or to a pea-e td by the enemy. Tne II' iiiiity of our ctivc. o t. t wiliiin tbe range of a(;(:11 e it. To prevent our -moii or extermination is ali vra can hope lor. v. c tiave no skill in strategy, and know nothing of the uuans at the command of our gene- rds; but if this is ail that is left to us, we may as will be looking out for terms ot submission, and the sooner ti.e better. An endless war which affords no opportu- nity for either victory or revenge is a bootless under- taking. The Southern people who have offered them- selves and their all for the prosecution of this war, ai.d who have reposed implicit confidence in the mentrkiutt- ed with its conduct, have looked for something better. It is not to tic dirguised that a sense of uneasiness and distrust is gradually supplanting that generous confidence, A suspicion is gaining ground that all the advarjtsges of our position have nut been prufited by as they might haveoten; that the war has not been prosecuted with lue vigour and energy demanded by the emergency. We hear muttenngs and complaints apart from th(,.u con- nected with the quarter-master, commissary, ana medi- cal depaitments, growing out of tbe appointment ,i to u.any civilians to high cummands. llany of there a p- pointments have filled the country with apprehensions of some great disaster.

A SCENE AT BADAJOZ.—In a little time the wl.-le of the soldiers appeared to be in a state of mad dtut ken- ness. In every street and in every corner we met mem forcing tbeir way like lurits into bouser, firing tt.iougli the keyholes of the doers so as to force the locks, 01 at any person they liaw at the window imploring mercy. In passing some houses which they had entered, we hesrd the shrieks of females, and sometimes the groani of those whom they were no doubt butchering. All was disorder and dire confusion. Three soldiers, whom we met in the streets, havingjost all retpect for the uniform of an officer, looked at him with a threatening aspect if ad. dressed and if threatened, they would sometimes point their muskets at him. In one street, I met General Pnilippon, the governor, with his two daughters, holding each by the hand; all three with their hair dishevelled, and with them were British officers, each holding one of the ladies by the arm, and with their drawn swordi making thrusts occasionally at soldiers who attempted to drag the ladies away. I am glad to say, that these two liritrsh officers succeeded in conveyiog ihe governor and his daughters safely through the breach to the camp. With the exception of these ladies, I was told ttitt very few females, young or old, escaped violation by our bru- tal soldiejy, mad with brandy and with passion.
