1 In the grief that has fallen on Mr. Boommor
and his adherents, because. ; of the disgracend
'defeat that has overtaken him in_ his civil coup
't'y of Lancaster, they are hithihabit of tiylDg,
to console themselves by referi:ing te the late
election in Barks county. - ?:-,Vhey assert that iq
erks the State-righbr Deniocmcy hive - been
dompletely oversholuied by the Administra
tion forces; and in support of this allegation,
;
lead the election of the Administration coun
ty ticket, and the majority for Messrs. RowE
find Waujnv,
and
Administration candidates
fbr Surami , ,Or and Audit& Generals. With the
infatuation, that„has marked and accompanied
all the actions of Mr. BUCIUNAN'IS Adminis
tration, ,they'forgot, first that Jsuu Gramm
JONES was not running in Berks this year, and
therefore', that thO people of that county had
no:especial favorite of JAMES Becuftwr to
lark with the signet of their indignant con
tomPt. ' Second,tliat last year the entire Ad
ministration ticket in Berks county was elected
by a large majority, even while GraNcy JONES
*as ingloriously defeated; and third, that the
Administration ticket last , year received in
Berks ctiiinty, the extraordinary majority of
four thonsaxid six hundred and thirty-two.
The late election teaches these men two or
three plain lessons. First, that the people of
Smits county are always ready to vote against
any-of the representatives of the policy of Mr.
Bocuartme, as is proved by their- repudiation
of dorm, and their splendid endorsement of
Major Joni Sanwa= in
,1,858. Second, that
in regard to the county officers nothinebut the
smallness of the ,vote on Tuesday prevented
the fiefi3atef the Administrlion county ticket.
And, thirpy, that while Wuxum A. PORTER—
the General Administration candidate for Su
preme Judge in 1858—recoived a majority of
four. thousand tax hundred and thirty.two, the
General Administration ticket in 1869 received
a majority. of . barely twelve hundred! We
leave to the Piesident ittid his adwirers,the
agreeable, task of extracting all the comfort
they can from this : , comparison between the
votes of Lancaster and Berks counties in the
late election.
And now let us say of the State-rights De
mocrats 'of' "forks what wo feel in duty bound
to say. ; They began the great hattle for prin-
Ciple at a time when the Federal Administra
tion was .filled and flushed Ivith power. They
had no personal griefs to avenge. The President
violating an implied and positive pledge to put
a man into the Cabinet who afterwards shame
lesslyhetrayedihein—Was eager to cultivate the
attachment of these grdlini t Mee F .ey had no
I purpose to accomplish in opp. .is policy
110 that of earnest devotloh t. he principles
WhiCh put him into the, place he now occupies.
The :record. of their, votes, since the great
struggle, of 1867, is before the country, and all
that the . AdMinistmtlon organs may say will
only . .attract attention to their intrepidity, their
disinterestedness, and their courage. We have
only to hope that they will be as tnie. in the
future as they have been conscientious and
fearless in the past.
None of the returns of the election on Tues
day last ,are so significant as nom; of the city
of Lancaster, the home of Mr. Bucitstax. No
district of the Union has more uniformly sup
ported the Democratic ticket from the time of
the first organization of parties in this country
until the presentday., , For many years it was
celebrated as the only Democratic city in the
Union, forwhen in the bank excitement all the
great commercial communities conceived that
their interests were imperilled by the policy of
General JacKson, and, therefore, bitterly an
tagonized him, • the ,city of Lancaster, stood
firm. For a long time she boasted of the title
of ci the Gibraltar of Democracy." At the
Presidential election of 1856 she gave the Bu
chanan, electoral ticket a majority of 1,195
over the Union electoral ticket. A few days
before the late election Mr. BIJOHANAN visited
Lancaster, and ho, remained there until, the
day of the election, in the expectation, we sup
pose, that his preitence would animate his
po
litical,friends to groat exertions. The result
IS shown in the election returns.. Each of the
(Our, wards • of ,the city has given a majority
°pipit the nominees on the, State . ticketivho
werePiii.o4•oll the Adminititration platform,
ilie!mlijoritles for, Coens.An being as follows
Northeast ward 128
Nortliwest ward. 33
Southeast ; ward 83
Southiest ward 86
The total vote of the city Is not very great.
4n 1868 it gave 1,261 votes for PORTER, Demo
cratic candidate for-Supreme Judge, and 1,170
for Bran; the Opposition candidate, and no
thing but , a deep-rooted feeling of hostility to
the-unfortunate and disastrous policy of Ilfr.
Becuartax in his own home could have induced
a very large proportion of the members of the
Democratic party to withhold their votes from
Messrs. %tour andßowe.
A - similar sentiment haa been manifested
throughout tho whole of Lancaster county.
The vote cast is light, but the Opposition ma
jority is about 4,000, and scarcely a single dis
trict in the county has polled a majority for
the Administration ticket.
Mr. thackeray in a New Character.
The American Publisher's Circular, a weekly
New York publication which usually keeps its '
readers well informed as to literary movements
in England, acquaints us that the new Magazine,
to be' edited by- Mr. TILLOKERAY, "will be
published at the bold price of one shilling, and
a'llgoions effort will bo made to attain' a sue
ceis shadowed out to it by the great Magazine
of Messrs. HARPER, of New York, which by a
rare combination of good contributions from
pen and pencil for a shilling, circulates some
170,000 monthly." We believe that the actu
al circulation of Harper's Magazine is close
on 240,000 a month, being seventy thousand
more than the above guess. Messrs. Seam
Emu, & Cornbill, London, who pub
lished "Henry Esmond," and some others of
TEACKSRAVB books, supply tbo capital for a
now illustrated Mobthly Magazine, to be sold
at one shilling starling (twenty-four cents) a
number, and the publication to commence with
the new year. , It Aill:be edited by Tueous-,
RAT, who i 8 to 6174 serial story through it.
There seems no reason why a good, cheap'
magazine should not circulate, largely in Eng.
land—none except that Englandjs not what is
called a reading country. Ireland is much
lees so. Scotland, on the contrary, reads a
great deal, but apparently thinks Chambers's
Edinlntrgh Journal the utmost that it should
patronize. It is published weekly at three
cents a number, and circulates largely.
Let us assume that the population of the
United States is much the same as that of the
United Kingdom, and that just such'another
periodical, cheap, yet good, as Harper',
MagaUine were published in London, what
viould its circulation probably be? Not one
half the circulation of Harper in this country.
And why? Simply because on three accounts;
Firat, the British public , have not the money
to spari3 for literature, even cheap as this.
Neat, they' have not the general taste for
reading, which is so thoroughly an American
characteristic. Thirdly, for one person who
can read in as the old country" at least two
pin read hero.
There are but few additional returns of the
late election in Pennsylvania. Those received
modify several estimates of the votes of dif
ferent counties on the State ticket contained
in Tits Paass of yesterday, but the changes
about counterbalance each other. Lancaster
county has given 4,000 majority for the Oppo
sition, instead of 8,800, and Montgomery
county ia'now reported at about 800 majority
for Wotan'' , and Rows, 'indeed of 1,200. On
the other hand, Lebanon is now reported as
having given 600 majority for the Opposition,
instead of 1,000, and Susquehanna 700, in
stead of 1,200. The indications are that the
majority for the State nominees of the People's
.party is about 24,000.

It is proposed, by the English journals, that

to any paiti who should give such infortriation
as would lead to their relief, or definitely
ascertain their fate,' should pay. the cost,
at least, of the expedition sent out by
Lady FRANKLIN, in 1857—which has re
turned with the fullest information of the
fate of FRANKLIN and his , companions.
This devoted woman has expended nearly
every shilling she possessed, to the amount of
£BO,OOO, in various endeavors to ascertain her
husband's fate, and, unless something be done
for her, appears destined to pass her remaining
years in penury. If the British Government
will not avert this, surely the women of Eng
land and the United States will unite in a
subscription to raise a fund for her future sup.
port. To make it very general, the amount of
each subscription might be limited—say to
twenty-Eve cents.
, Letter from 46 0ecasional. 11
Correspondence of The Press.]
WASHINGTON, Ootober 13,1859
Mr. Buchanan returns from Pennsylvania in tbo
worst possible humor. He loft with all his courte
sies about MM . , his mind made up to bring back, if
possible, his old friends, - and to employ the fast
fading hours of his Administration in acts of
expiation and repentance; but the death of
Broderick, and the result of the October election
in your State, have almost maddened him.
Not, indeed, that be regrets that the California
Senator has been sacrificed, but that public senti
ment has been directed to his Administration as
the cause of that death. Your article of Monday,
in which yon located the responsibility of the tra
gedy in the right quarter—thus anticipating the
judgment of the people of California themselves—
AS exhibited in the extraordinary demonstrations
of indignation at the murder and of sympathy with
the victim, has stung his Majesty to the quick. I
I know that ho has oven threatened to prosecute yea
for libel, and unless 'fudge Black should come for
ward and mollify his feelings, yeti may look for a
summons before our court of justice. The last words
of the gallant and courageous Broderick, that he had
been killed, because, among other things, ho was op
posed to a corrupt Administration, will ring in the
ears of Power like the knell of death, and will
stand forth as the undying rebuke of a dying pa
triot.
It was known when Broderiok left Washington
that he was fore-doomed. When he eat in the
Senate, he was pointed out as a victim prepared
for the slaughter. He himself anticipated his fate,
and if he had not been possessed of indomitable
will, would have been involved in more than one
personal conflict. The President's bitter and con
tinued denunciation of him was imitated by all the
hirelings of the Administration. Every friend he
had in California was turned out of office, and un
paralleled invective was poured upon his devoted
head by the organs of the President and his Cabi
net. Hardly had the young Senator placed his
foot in New York before Mr. Buchanan began to
ridicule and distrust him, and long before he took
position himself he was practically ostracised. Let
those who hay° brought about this sad state of
things tremble at the consequences of their savage
warfare upon this noble spirit. Well may they
feel terror-stricken before the events of popular
fury, and well may they felicitate themselves upon
the fact that they are not personally to be subjected
to a trial at the bar of publio opinion.
And who is to be the next victim? What other
men is marked out to fall before the unforgiving,
impenitent, and profligate Administration? Hav
ing failed to bribe or to intimidate the "rebels," it
is now apparent that the virtue of cold steel and
the bullet is to be tested upon' thorn.
I have repeatedly called your attention to the
purpose of certain of the leading Southern politi
cians on the subject of reviving the inhuman troffer
In slaves. The ground they now take is, stated,
in an artiolo copied into the Qrgan of Jefferson
Davis, The Afississippian, from en Arkansas
newspaper a few days ago. It IS as follows:
" Slaves, then, being recognised ris property, and the
right to buy and sell them being incidental to tho right
to own and use them, it become very questionable, in
deed, whether or not Congress baa, in truth, the contd . '.
tunonal right to prohibit their importation at all. At
ell events, whether it has a discretionary power under
the Constitution to prohibit or not,,it certainly has not
the constitutional right to declare as piracy a trade
which, for twenty years, was sanctioned and proteoted
by a positive provision of the Constitution, and ail lan
declaring it such should be wiped off the statute-books
as unjust to the framers of the Constitution, and highly
derogatory to the people of the slaveholdlng States.
"We shall advooate, then, an a mentors of Fight and
lodine to the South, that all those laws that affix the
stigma of putter' upon the traffic in that kind of property
which constitutes tho great bulk of her personal wealth.
should be repealed. We want to see the odium and
&caudal which these unjustly discriminating laws reflect
upon the institutions of the South removed; we want to
see our property placed upon as equally honorable and
respectable footing (at least no far as the action of Cody
great is concerned) as the property of the North, or
any other section of the Union. We want to see the
trade in negroas regulated like the trade in other species
of inerohandise—not by the sickly sentimentalities of
pharisaical Abolitionism, but by wise and prudent con
siderations of sound policy and expediency. This is
asking no more than &just and reasonable right. and the
South will never rest contented until it is granted. We
`ask nothing but what is right, end will not submit to
anything wrong,"
You will at once perceive how rapidly the theory
of the Administration, that slavery as entitled to
protection against the popular will in the Terri
tories—the same theory, by the way, advocated by
your Tyler State Central Committee, prior to your
last election—is being seised upon by the Southern
extremists for the purpose of sanctifying a traflie
odious in the sight of God and man. If Mr. Bu
chanan and Judge Black are right in the dogma
that slavery can beheld in the Territories, became
tt is recognised as property, en utter disregard of
the wishes of the people, that the Southern men
are clearly right in their elevating the trade in
human flesh and blood to the dignity of Christian
and civilizing commerce. Remove the stigma of
piracy now denounced against this traffic in
human life, and I would not give you n rush
ftir your laws. This very apt would be an open
confession before the nations of the earth, that, not
content with recognising tho peculiar institution to
which we aro bound by constitutional obligations,
wo now propose to permit our mercantile marine to
encourage the pillage, the robberies, and the mur
ders of the slave-catchers in Africa, in order that
thousands of negroes may be carried into this lie
pnblio and made slaves for life ! Of course, no
such attempt will succeed ; but that it will horned°
is now beyond doubt. Those•who advocate the re
peal of the laws affixing the stigma of peraey upon
the slave traffic, have a practical object in view.
Theirdesire Is to unite Southern opinion against the
enforcement of the laws In regard to this traffic, so
that, while it is being carried on in the open face of
day, and while ship loads of cargoes are landed at
different points on the gulf coast, no Southern jury
will convict the offender, and no judge will dare,
if he should be convicted, to sentence him. Take
my word for it, If you will watch the progress of
things in the South, something like this will be the
sequel of the present movement on this subject.

" What a Blind Man Saw In England,"
This was the subject of a very entertaining lec
ture delivered at Concert rfall last twining, by the
Rev. Wm. H. Milburn, the blind preacher, former
ly chaplain of Congress, . The Audience, though
not large—the hall having been mutely more than
half filled—was highly appreciative. The close
attention which the speaker retained for his elo-
quont production, necessarily ev tcrnpore, during
the two hours occupied in its delivery, and the fre
quent applause with which it woe r (dyed, wore a
significant comment upon its mori ae as, interest
ing lecture.
‘' •
Re opened by saying that a vdyage , across the
Atlantic had been compared to sitting down, o a
talgo three thousand miles long, with very little
appetite to oat. It had not been so in his case,
however. His description of the luxuries of a sea-
voyage, as he had experleneed them during the
thirteen days °coupled in making the passago to
Liverpool, at the approach of mid-summer, was
very felicitous. There was, to him, something
strange, and yerfainiliar, in the rattle of the oar-
riago wheels, in their passage from the landing Up
to the hotel at which he and his company, ten in
number, took lodgings on arriving at Liverpool.
Their sifting down to a round of English beef at
eleven o'clock at night was happily pictured, but
to him it bad been the precursor of a sleepless
night. It had been to him a night of rapturous
Vision, in which the worthies of the past seemed to
throng his chamber to bid him welcome. Julius
Cresar and hie Romans came, and with their princely
Courtesies; and Alfred, the noble Saxon, and King
William, and the men who had crowned themselves
with honors upon the battle-field. And then a
sweeter and still goodlier company came to pay
their respects, the noble band of singers, Chaucer,
Spenser, and all the throng of low and townie, and
bold and daring, of their numbei, and then the
most brilliant star of all, the brightest of all that
are at this day scanned by telcecopos . tharsweep
the literary sky 'the Immortal William Shak•
spears.
Was it not the most fitting ocoasiou for him thus,
in a vision of the night, to have the elite of other
dap to meet the stranger and bid him welcome?
Though the speaker had never been in England
before—the country from whence his ancestors had
come several generations ago—yet he did not ftiel
himself a stranger there. "Old England-ond bless
dear Old England, say I, from my heart !" was the
speaker's language, " and so because she reveres
with an almost religious bigotry the things that
aro old." If we asked an Englishman why an old
edifice, or any other old object, was left to remain,
the answer generally was„" I don't know ; It has
always been so !" and that was reason enough fur an
Englishman to have , it remain so forever. The
tiret morning after his arrival, the servant came to
his room, when the speaker asked what kind of a
'day it was? to which was answered, " 0, purty line,
sir, purty fine, air; I think it will be very fine in a
little while, sir." The truth was, that at'that in
stant it was pouring rain, and continued to do so
for three days!
&The audionoo were next escorted, in imagination,
to an•Englleh "station," here known more famil
iarly as the depot: What we called a conductor
was there styled a " guard "
Railroads had taught the nineteenth century the
lesson of punctuality; but more effectually had
this lesson been learned in England than in Mae %
riots. Presuming on their democratic nationality,
their party, In taking passage from Liverpool to
London, took second-class car tickets. • Notwith
standing, however, that the two hundred and forty
miles between the two points wore very expeditious
ly accomplished, he would advise nobody over to
follow their example in this respect, for the ears
wore exceedingly uncomfortable. The first-class
care, on the other hand, were the most sumptuous
models of completeness. The cold exclusiveness of
John Bull was very characteristically exhibited in
these cars.
The veracity of the people was a trait in the.
English character specially dwelt upon, and very
humorously illustratod. They ware proud of their
country, and if they wished to pay an American
the very highest compliment imaginable, - thoY
would say, " I would really have taken you to bo
a Englishman!" Even the coachman, as he re
ceived his sixpence, frequently used this style of
gracious compliment.
The highest style of English elocution was de
scribed by the speaker as stammering carried to
perfection. The delivery of the most, eloquent
speakers scarcely over rose above this standard,
even In the delivery of Speeches which, when
printed, read most smoothly.
*The English , were as a people not addicted
to exaggeration. Under -statements, rather than
over-statements, was the rule. The fact that
a Frenchman counted his money by francs, Arne
deans by dollars, and Englishmen by pounds, the
speaker regarded as a significant and expressive
fact, as Illustrating the dry, solid matter-of-feet
undertow of English character.
Ills description of Spurgeon In the pulpit was a
prominent feature of the !Wore. lie had mitered

speaker said the singing of this solemn hymn to,

grogation of several thousand persons, Was one of
the noblest specimens of congregational tinging he
had over listened to. 'Ms style of prayer the
speaker did not like ; it was, to him, exceedingly
irreverent, and absolutely shocking. An extern•
pore specimen of Mr. Spurgeon's prayer en that
occasion was here . introduced. As a preacher be
was said to be bold, manly, plain, and evidently
hoicest: Ho was a thorough Calvinist—ln which
ho differed from the views of the speaker. Ho
doubted If Calvin had ever had a more honest. fol.
lower than Spurgeon, and though he could not
agree with him, ho admired his boldness in preach
ing what be believed.
The speaker next gave a synopsis of the sermon,
which, according to his rendition of It, was as fol.
lows: " I stand here to say to you ton thousand
souls, that unless you repent oryour sins and be
lieve in the Lord Jesus Christ (and I don't know
whether you can or not; any business is to tell you,
and if you can so believe to do it), you will be
damned, and I, from my high seat in glory, when
Ime you in torments, will only strike a higher
note at that vindication of (Jude' justice."
The philosophy of Spnrgeou's great popu
larity was entered upon at considerable length,
during which we wore sorry to see that con
siderable laughter was designedly elicited by
the speaker at the expense of Mr. Spurgeon. Tho
speaker, in the course of bie remarks upon this
subject, gave every ludicrous dramatic illustration
of an English clergyman's exhortation to his con
gregation, adding that if there wore many of that
class in England now, Spurgeon's popularity could
be easily accounted for. The closing portion of his
lecture was devoted mainly to London in a social
aspect, in wbioh much of Interest was elicited,
and many things were said which forcibly indica
ted the speaker's wonderful powers of perception,
notwithstanding the physical disadvantages under
which ho labors.
Upon the whole, it was an exceedingly humorous
production for so prosy a subject, and kept the au
dience in the best possible spirits to the end, which
was not reached until forty-five minutes after the
eloso of the other literary treat with whieb our lee
tare-going citizens were also favored last evening
at Musical Fund Mall in a—
HUMOROUS POEM ON "PLUCK" BI
"DOESTIon."
Mortimer Thomson, Esq., better known as Poe
etioke, made his debut in Philadelphia last evening,
as a lecturer. Musical Fund Hall was about three
fourths filled, which, for anything short of a
" star of the first magnitude," we have
learned to regard as a " first-rate house." Whe
ther this successful reception is all duo to the well
earned popularity of this new aspirant to lecture
board honors, or in part to the high character of
the literary society under the auspices of which it
was given—The Irving Literary Institute--can
hardly be a question; but this we may say with
safety, that Mr. Thomson's admirable' style, in
which ho acquitted himself last evening, will not
tell against him at hie next appearane9 to Phila•
dolphin. With proper care, and duo regard to
unfrequeney, there is no reason why "IThesticks"
should not become as mush a favorite as to lecturer,
ae he now is among the admirers of laugh-provoking
literature as a writer.
Ills subject twit evening was well chosen and
happily treated. It was a poem, and hence irre
portable. We way say as to the matter of the
poem, that its aim and argument were commenda
ble. Tho proper occupations of young nice, and
the requisite qualities to insure success in
their pursuit, constituted the ground-work upon
which the "Pluck " scintillations were mainly
showered. The legal, medical, and clerical pro
&alone were taken up in the order we have
named them, and disposed of to the evident gratifi
cation of the audience, who were most lavish iu their
applause throughout. The Young Americanisms
of the ago, as exhibited in our fondness for new
pursuits, came in for a full share of the speaker's
ready wit, In the course of which Blogilin and the
heroes of late balloon adventures were used to ad
vantage. One year hence was the time allotted
for balloonists to cross the Atlantis in an aerial
vessel, and five years were allowed for our Ameri
can boys to boat the English criokaters. But we
must conclude our notice, lest the reader should
think that we, with but one set of ears, accom
plished almost ns great a font last evening as
seeing England without eyes. The style in which
the lecture was delivered was no less admirable
than the character of the Poem as a compositiqp.

Correspondence of the London TI me, )
'WEYMOUTH, Sunday, Sept. 25,1859.
The repairs necessary for fitting the Great
Eastern for sea are daily going forward with Abe
ututost diligence and rapidity. The fittings of the
ship and all matters connected with her sea-going '
equipment are now entirely in the hands of the
marine department of the Board of Trade. With
a passenger-ship
such gigantic
magnitude,
population equal to that of many towns, it has
boon felt that MO possible precautions which
the greatest experience and most jealous vigilance
can suggestshould be neglected. in this matter the
directors and Captain Garrison are entirely agreed,
and have, we believe, asked the Board of Trade
to make any suggestions which they think min
in any way conduce to the safety and convenlenee
of the vessel. The Groat Eastern will always carry
the best Welsh coals, which, even when stowed in
large quantities have seldom if over been known
to heat. The Great Eastern, however, will carry
no loss than 11.0,000 tons a quantity which, we need
not say, has never yet been put into any vessel, and
therefore it has been thought right to guard against
even the possibility of accident from this source.
Another matter which will probably be altered is
the means of feeding the boilers with water. Un
til the present massive engines were constructed it
has always been the rule to make them self-feeding,
the auxiliaries being used merely as a stand-by
in case of any of the pumps breaking down.
The machinery of the Great Eastern was made
entirely dependent on its feed-water being sup
plied by the donkey engines—a rather objeetiona
ble arrangement, as in ease of the donkeys getting
out of order, which it has been seen they may do,
the machinery must dome to a standstill. Feed
and bilge pumps will now most likely be fitted to
both screw and paddle engines, and the donkeys
retained only as a precautionary measure. The
passage round from the Thames showed that the
heat in the stoke-holes of ono or two of the small
auxiliary engines was too much for the firemen.
Sliding iron-doors will, therefore, be out in the
bulkheads, in order to give them the most complete
ventilation.
Now that the wreak ban been cleared away from
the lower deck in the immediate vicinity of the
scene of the explosion, the amount of damage which
has been sustained by the boilers and more sub
stantial fittings of the ship can bo readily as
certained. The massive iron maindeck beams
which wore so curiously doubled and torn by the
force of the explosion have been cut away, together
with the tattered remnants of the lower portions of
the funnel jacket, which still remain attached to
the upper part of the boilers, and altogether the
space has been cleared so as to allow the work
of restoration to proceed with all due celerity.
Upon minute examination it was found that
the forward boilers had not Aeon injured to
the extent which was at first imagined, nor
yet escaped entirely without damage. The cop
per plates of those two boilers, upon which the
funnel and casting rested, are very much dinted in,
and many of the iron stays in the interior are either
broken or very much bent. Some of the hot air
tubes have been damaged, but not to a serious ex
tent. The replacing of the stays and such of the
tubes no it will he necessary to remove will soon he
accomplished, but the restoration of the two da
maged boiler plates must occupy time. A few
days will suffice to restore the injured iron supports
of the main and lower leeks. Thus it is to be
hoped that the substantial portions of the ship will
be completely refitted in the course of a compare
fivell, few days.
It is not improbable that in a few days the Great
Eastern will leave hor present moorings, and go
round under easy steam to Southampton Water.
Nothing on thin point is yet finally . decided, but
both for the convenience of receiving materials
from London, and in order to gratify the thousands
of excursionists who, oven In this remote part of
the country, daily visit the ship, it is not unlikely
that such a movo will be made in response to the in
vitation reoelved from all the °Mel towns along
the south coast.
THE CAPTURE ON SCIIAItYL.—The St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Nord gives the following de
tails respecting the capture of this famous Circas
sian chief, the correctness of which he Vouches for.
After describing the plan of attack which had been
arranged by Prince Boriatinski, the account pro
ceeds: The fight was ono of the most desperate
character,
but the Murides, placed between two
fine, saw that resistance or fight was equally im
possible. Out of 400 men, who formed the garri
son of Gounib, 47 only remained alive. Sehamyl
shut himself up in one of the habitations which
were cut into the rook. The plateau was covered
with corpses. We lost 100 men. When Prince Barks
tineki arrived on the plateau, he stopped the firing,
and, addressing Sehamyl, summoned him to surren
der. The 'mama, appearing at an aperture which
had been made in the rook,asked on what condition
ho was required to yield. "Leave your retreat un
conditionally," replied the Commander-in-Chief.
Ile who had been our bitterest enemy for so many
years then came forth. "Are you Sehamyl?''
asked the Prince. " replied the Inurdrn.
"Then your life is spared, and you will retain
your wives and property. But I shall send you to
St. Petersburg to-morrow, and your fate must
finally depend on the will of the Emperor, my au
gust master." Sehamyl bent hie head without
uttering a word. The General then said, "I
waited along time for you at Tillie; I hoped you
would 'some of yourself and make your submission,
but you forced me to come here In search of you."-
Then turning to Lieutenant Colonel Grabbe, he
said, "Proceed forthwith to St. Petersburg,
and' report to the Emperor what you hive seen.
To-morrow I will send a report and Sehamyl him
self."

Orilla AND INDlA.—Thare is some additional
newt from India and Chinn. The affair_ at the
Peiho seems to have exerted no influence whatever
on trade; and it is doubtful whether Mr. Ward, ,
the American plenipotentiary, on hie way to Pekin,
has been permitted to leave his strummer, lying
within sight of the scene of the late disaster.
At Shanghai', the French have got into trouble
by, It is said, resorting to kidnapping, in order to
obtain a sufficient number of Coolie emigrants.
The Chinese, at all events, must have been en
raged, for they killed several of the parties, on
shore, and amongst others, Mr. Fay, the inter
preter. The captain of the French schooner is
obviously to blame; and the French minister has
very properly ordered the Coolie ship into port,
fur the purpose of instituting a stria investigation.
One great impediment to dealing with Orientals is
the difficulty of regulating the conduct of indi
viduals. This French captain, no doubt, has
created a very angry feeling amonst the natives,
and some of our captains may have` been guilty of
imprudences which keep alive hostile feelings. It
is even possible that conduct of this kind has al
ready produced bad results in Japan; but it is
quite certain that the Japanese, like all the East
ern people, are cheats and knaves. With the sim
plicity et children they have sought to impose upon
Europeans by fabricating emu of small value,
though impressed with figures denoting a much
higher value. This plan did not, of course, suc
ceed; but it indicates that the difficulties we have
to encounter in China will present themselves, per
haps, in an aggravated form in Japan. Already
they manifest the barbarousjealousy which forbids
trading with foreigners; and, with an inexcusable
presumption, the Government, departing from its
Promise, dictates the port to which the Christians
will be allowed to trade. The Americans refuse to
submit to this dictation, and it would bolietter,
perhaps, if we seconded the Yankees, for courtesy
and kindness will have very little effect. A peo
ple proud of their exclusiveness, and ignorant of
the external world, have of course a strung preju
dice against strangers; and there Is only one way
for strangers to overcome this prejudice,
and that
is by demonstrating to the people that trade will
be exceedingly beneficial to themselves.
From India we receive news of the pacification
and disarming of Gude ; but it seems arra Lord
Canning got more credit than he was entitled to
fur promptitude on the arrive' of the news from
Peiho. No request having been made to him from
Mr. Bruno,
he contented himself with ordering two
regiments to hold themselves in readiness. No at
tempt was made to induce the discharged soldiers
to volunteer; but it was intimated that they would
receive no bounty if they did volunteer, and, of
course, they aro on their way home, unless instruc
tions from Government counteracted the decision
of the Governor-General. It seems that General
Sir Bops Grant is to have the command of the
expeditionary force to China. This force is to con
sist of 10,000 men, and they are all to be sent from
India,

THE ELEVEN OF ENGLAND AGAINST TWENTY-
TWO OF THE UNITED STATES
THIRD DAY'S PLAY AT PHILADELPHIA
THE ELEVEN OF ENGLAND WIN THE MATCH
WITH BEVeN WICKETS TO GO DOWN.
Another brilliant and beautiful day saw the alone of
us very esciting and interesting match, in which the
%Webers," es wee anticipated, came off victorious.
'rile twenty-two were not no successful in their second
innings as we hoped they would have been, scoring only
sixty, thus leaving a comparatively small amount of
work for the Englishmen to perform. The play was.
however, beautiful at times on both sides. and waa wit
nessed by several thousand pawky several of whom
were from the interior of the State, attracted, doubt
less, by the fascinating and graphic mamas which, up
to a certain period, we were enabled to furnish to The
Press.
With a painful sense of our present Incompetency,
and a warnin4 to all susceptible yowl.; men to bee p
away from the ladies' stand, we proceed to make a
few notes or what struck us as nein; most noteworthy.
It must hare surprised " the gentlemen of the press"
to notice the number of amateur ra,ortenl who 00-
. .
rupied places on the stand reserved for thew. There,
are. we believe, three or four sporting newspapers,.
strictly so called, in the United States, each of whom
can, if certain statements be true, give four separate
and distinct accounts of this cricket match. It would
be very amusing it they did; but we fear they won't. A
epealator, who had built a stand outside the enclosure,
pot very badly caught by the committee, who waited, in
the moat cruel and deliberate manner, until hut stand
was completed, and then built up their fence alout
twenty feet, affording spectators on the
SUM. a charm

linen yesterday, an impromptu foot-race round the in
closure was started by two John Hulls, one of whom had
apparently beenimbibing MO Much "Tale." The tight
gentleman evidently had the advantage of hisantago
nist in speed, but in turning round to give greater effect
to some gyrationswith his fingers at the end of Ine none,
indicative of scorn of the slowness of hie antagonist, he
tumbled into ri small drain, or ditch, greatly to the
amusement of the held, and his heavier companion won
the stakes,which we believe were an indefinite number
of "rails, " Dunes the pay the order observed was
admirable. and although there was alarge force of
special police on the ground, their services were not
once called into requisition that we heard of.
To-day there will be a match played for the benefit of
the Englishmen—the proceeds at the gate are to he
given to them—and as they have braved the perils of the
stormy sea to give us a tante of their quality, and will
have to do co again in returning to their own country, it
would lie well if we should give them some aubstantial
token of our appreciation - of their pluck and ekdl. The )
did not coins over here to try and win our money, but to
give us an exhibition of such perfection in a manly,
Beautiful, and healthful gaine as the world never before
saw, for they are the picked men of England. which. eri
far as cricket goes. means the world. And we should
not view their visit to ue purely in the light of the
amusement they have afforded, but in the impetus their
play has given to all hearty, honest, out-door exercises,
which will have its effects ere tong on the morals as
well as trio muscles, of our community. Let us therefore
send these Englishmen home well pleased with their
sting, and enable them to spend a happy Christmas with
their wives and (militia, if they are blessed with such encumbrances, encumbrances, and drink. with kind recollections,

six thousand people in view of the roar. The buzz of
preparation increased, and shortly After three o'clock
a number of steam tugs, canal boats. and barges, were
stationed immediately under the,rope, to render assist
ance it necessary.
erxtliing being prepared, the renowned Chtnrini

tights, and hold in his hand an, ordinary balancing pole.

with the utmost confidence. The epectato.e watched
every movement with the vastest solicitude, god main

distance had been accomplished, Chtarini halted fur a
moment, and, after performing sundry feats commortto
hie profession, started on, and finally reached tha west

It was exactly twenty-five minutes of three o'clock

were occupied in crossing. He remained until four

When he arriyed on the eastern side he offered fifty
dollars to any one willing to allow himself to he carried

was only answered- with a unanimous cheer from the

The name of Joseph Beale is perhaps at well
known as that of any prominent public man in the
city of New York. As a business men, citizen and
gentleman, he is the perfectly regular thing. I
notice his name in the papers this morning, in eon
nection with certain marriageeeremoniesthat were
performed in a Style a little oat or the ordinary
way. The services took place at the Presbyterian
Church, where Mr. H.'e eldest daughter was mar
ried to a Mr. Cross; alter the,' Episcopal form, by
the Rev. Dr. Morgan rector of St. Thomas' Church,
and the youngest daughter immediately afterwards
was married to a Mr. Bartlett after the Presbyte
rian form; by the Rev. Dr. Collet. This it pro
bably the first Instance, in this country, where
two sisters were married in church, on the tame
°cession, after different forms, by ministers of dif
ferent churches. Probably the ladies will and eat,
in due time, that, practically, it amounts to about
the same thing.
The streets to the vicinity of the Cathedral (a
few streets in the rear of the Metropolitan Hotel)
were absolutely crowded al an early hour in the
morningyby old and young women, boys and chil
dren, to get a glimpse of the bridal party of the
great money-bagged Signor Oviedo, whose nuptials
with Miss Bartlett took place with great pomp at
noon". About three thousand invitations were
given out, inelnding one or more to each of the
daily and weekly press, who had places assigned to
them "on the floor." Railings were erected la
the church, dividing the different portions, gyring
the holders of different tickets their respective po
sitions. The pollee -arrangements—on a 'large
scale—were carried oat by Captain Williamson,
whe marshalled the arriving and departing car
riages with promptness and success. '
Numerous detectives Were also on the spot to
watch the movements of the light-fingered gentry.

The members of Engine Company Thirty-four, of
which the late Senator - Brodetiok was formerly fore
man, held a meeting last evening at the engine
house, in Christopherstreet, to testify their respect
to the memory of their deceased friend. Samuel
Radcliff was called to the chair, and John Mack
appointed secretary. After a brief interchange of
views it was decided to call another meeting for
Tuesday evening next, and to extend invitations to
the Broderick Guard, and to the firemen friends of
the deceased generally. A committee was appoint
ed, consisting of S. D. Layman, Charles Miller,
James Miller, Thomas Leavy, Lewis J. Parker,
Samuel Radcliff, John Mack, and Jonas L. Coe, to
draft appropriate resolutions, to be presented next
Tuesday evening.
Yoer shipmasters may, perhaps, be interested to
know that there were in the port of New York, on
Tuesday last, 30 steamers, 137 ships, Si barks, 81
brigs, and 211 schooners—a total of 513.
A beautiful little bit of romance took place a
week,ago, at the country residence of .7. B. Mon
not, (formerly proprietor of the New York Hotel),
in West Chester county, which your lady readers
will be sure to peruse with pleasure. OnTuesday,
the 4th inst., Mr. M. being at Albany, his stable
took fire. In it were $lOO,OOO worth of blood
horses. The smoke was discovered by Mrs.
Monnot. Not a man was within hail. She was
alone with her woman. For a moment she was
paralysed, bat soon resolved to endeavor to save
her husband's property, at the risk of her life.
Starting her woman in various directions for help,
she rushed alone into the stable, from the side of
which the flames were now bursting in every di
rection. Logan, the pride and pet of her husband,
was the first to be eared. Te unchain and lead
hiu, to the door of his box was the work of an in
stant: bat ho was so terrified at the Mimes that he
rushed back to his stall, and resisted all at
tempts to lead him out. At length, nearly ex
hausted by her efforts, Mrs. Marmot blindfolded
him with part of her dress, and was thus
enabled to lead him forth safely. Help soon
came, and in a few minutes every hone was
got out of the barn. The horses immediately be
gan fighting with each other. The ugliest. a colt of
two years, was 4nally caught by the foreman, hat
ho soon sent Mr. foreman flying. Mrs. Mount
gave a fresh exhibition of courage, by entering the
enolosure, seizing the brute by the nose, and hold
ing him until the man reoovered himself, procured
is halter, and secured the young beast. On hearing
the news, Mr. Mount's thoughts were not on btu
loss but on his noble wife; and he exclaimed : " My
tko! and that poor woman's ell alone!" Little
did he think that his heroic help-meet had by her
self-possession and energy saved him a fortune.
Is sat WELL MARRIEDS—How often, when
a young lady is married, do we hear the in.
quirt', "Is she well married ?" One would
naturally suppose that the affirmative of this
question would depend on the further inquiry
whether she was united to a man in every way
qualified to make a good husband. Whether
he was, by birth and education, fitted to more
in the same rank with herself—by nature en
dowed with a heart to love and cherish her—
and, by his industrious habits, was sure of pro
viding for her a suitable maintenance. But
lie who should put such a construction upon
the affirmative of this question, would, in the
minds of half our city dames, be set down for
a tbol—a poor, miserable fool. To be well
married—we speak the language of a managing
mother, with a dozen grown-up girls on her
hands—to be well married, is to be married to
a fortune—no matter to whom, but, as the
phrase is, to how web 1 Aye, and how much,
think you, ye prudent, pains -taking mothers,
how much money will realize your fond ex
pectations, and secure to your daughters a
good match ? "Oh," we hear you say, "I
am not ambitions of a Crcesus tin- my daugh
ter as a husband, but he must be well off—ho
must be well to do in the world." Well, ma
dam, and what are your ideas of being well to
do in the world t Is it to he able to support
your daughter in the ten thousand extrava
gances in which you have brought her up—to
gratify her passion for dress and parties—to
pay oft the long bills which she may be dis
posed (and she will not lack the disposition,
we promise you) to run up at the milliner's
and other shops—to be able, too, to support
the expense of a foolish rivalship with those
of her acquaintances whom she may be de
sirous of out-doing in show and splendor—to
live in a palatial mansion, furnished with mag
nificent furniture, to give magnificent parties,
and drive a dashing establishment I If these
be your moderate pretensions, and your un
ambitious expectations in getting your daugh
ter well married, our word for it, madam, you
will be disappointed. She may dash away for
a while, but, ere long, her husband will be a
bankrupt. The income of no man "well to do
in the world," can stand such expenses. You
may then have the bitter satisfaction, indeed,
of seeing your daughter married, and, as you
believed . “ well marrieds" but when wealth is
gone—and it goes quickly when at the dispo
sal of a young wife like your daughter—what
then will become of her matrimonial happi
ness? his gone—gone with the last dollar of
her penniless husband: gone—we fear, irre
trievably gone. Look around, madam, among
your acquaintances, and see if there be not
among them some such examples of those
whom you once thought "well married?"
Learn wisdom by these lessons, and inculcate
better sentiments into the minds of your (laugh.
