whfcn they Inhabit were to be annexed by a
German power either Prussia or Bavaria. Even
the loyal Tyrolese are beginning to display Ba

Doctrine.
Jrot ththndon Timet, October 17.
The letter from our American correspondent
at Philadelphia, published In yesterday's paper,
eeems very decisive as to the icnpendlns: fate of
the Mexican empire. The appointment of Gene
ral lux bo the Legation of the United Btates at
the Court of the Tuilertes ts looked npon on the
other aide f the AtlanUo as indicative of a
settled purpose ot the Cabinet at Washington to
lring that matter to a spdy lasue.
To cur mind It waa impossible to entertain
ry doubt tB the aubject, at least poUlOOlfcO
lntlmatlon conveyed by the American Minister
to the Court of Vienna that the Union would
no longer tolerate the embarkation ot auxiliary
troop destined to support the Emperor Maxi
milian. That measure was a serious one, though
it made little noise at the time, because Austria
had her hands full of other business, and Europe
was on the eve of a contest which gave her lit
tle leisure to attend to transatlantic affair. The
conduct of America wss hardly delensible on
any principle of international law as hitherto
acknowledged, as it interfered with the indis
putable right lo mutual help of two independent
disk's i ueu wnn one anotner, with neither ot
which the republic was at war.
It DM th Mpdi nratlnal a rrna Mnn a! 1ia
llonroe doctrine, and revealed the recovery of
mv hiuu iiuui iun umbuuiuua v L buu civil
war, the revival of her old pretensions, and her
determination to carrv evervthinir with n hlvh
hand. The state or things had evidently changed
lrora what it was towards the end of the year
oi, wuen me repuouc naa to put up witn tne
landing of a Belgian and an Austrian l?gion on
m nmureu sou oi me western continent.
That intimation, however, had a diferent aim
from that which it bore on the surface. The ad
dress Was to A list rill, hilt Ihp nntn una lntjnrlnl
for France. With trance herself America was
in no hurry. The Emperor Napoleon had thrown
uut ciear ninrs mat toe r rencn occupation of
Mexico was drawing to a close. The recall of his
troops was with htm less a natter ot choice than
of necessity, and America was aware of the wis-
oom or building a golden bridge for a retreating
foe. fcho wished for no quarrel with France:
she set immense store by French friendship. In
nvmt ciuieimiius oi ine i-tidib trial sue
had lust cone through she bad always evinced
juuucsi prcuuecuon ior r ranee, less, per
haps, Irom real I'eeMns than with a virw tr

thought he could deal with Mexico as he had
done with Borne. - The Btate which wa In ha
deprived of the support of the Freuch troops
could still rely on French "protection, "and this
Jirotectlon should take the shape of mercenary
egions. It was at this Juncture that America
stepped in with her veto, by which sbe very
clearlv signified to France that "she, France,
should go, and no one else should come in in
ner place."

the diversion of some great foreign enterprise.

THE QUAXbTiIATEUAL.
Ceremony of tn -Surrender of the For
tresses to tho Italians.
Mantua, October 11 correspondence London Timet.)
At forty-five minutes past 6 o'clock this morn
ing, a train left Verona for Mantua, conveying
many Italians who wised to see the first large
fortress freed from the eagle's gripe. Among
the passengers was an Italian officer who,
wounded at Cnstozza, had since languished in
an Austrian-hospital. His wife, or sister, or
Ueritlebte what does it matter f was with hlra,
and oh, with what infinite solicitude he was
tended I
Some National Guards, almost feminine in
their gentleness, and wearing a soft expression
of pity, helped him Into the carriage, as he
limped painfully along. He left a brother in
the Mai son Dieu still unable to move sad tax
that Italy has paid for her release. The bond
age of Austria was typified at Peschlera during
the reioicines by colored lamps hung round
with feetoons of paper chains, and after the
entry of the Italian troops, a favorite amuse
ment of the people was first to break the loops
in the centres, and afterwards to snatch away a
link or two and tread them under foot.
At half-past eight A. M., the Austrian and
French commissioners met the municipal au
thorities of Mantua and enacted the same cere
mony which I described in my last letter as
having occurred at Peschlera, only In the Man
tua procet verbal a clause Is inserted reserving
the Emperor's rights to a palace which was be
queathed to the Imperial House of Austria by
tne will of the famous Prince Eugene, and which
is, therefore, private property.
The form of transfer between France and the
municipalities, alter stating the surrender ot
rights, requests that the municipality will un
derstand that they may call in the Italian
troops, but that these must not enter till the
Austrian garrisons have left the fortresses. The
niuniclpalitiesnccept with thrnkfulness to the
Emperor of the French, addiug that they teel
that much bloodshed has been saved by his
Majesty's good offices.
At 11 A. M. the commissioners left for Leg
nano, there to go through tbe same ceremonv,
and thence to-morrow to Palmanova, which will
be delivered over that night or next morning.
They then return to Verona, which will be
free on tbe 15th or 16th, and last will come the
turn of Venice.

Wedding Tronssean of tha Fatnr Em
pros of lineal.
ParitiM. U) Orretpondenot London Telegraph,
I must now see If I can make your readers
understand the glories of tbe tronssean ot the
Princess Da? mar 1 I do not understand them
myself, but that la no reason for not descrioiug
them. One Madame Buyer, a mii tner, took me
me to the top of a high place.and behold what I
sawl
The first glory developed the presentation
dms ot the Princess after marriage Is com
pofed of a train ot rose ptnk velvet, trimmed
withadeip border of maeniflcent silver lace,
of a most beautiful design and cob fob-like tex
ture. Bouquets ot tbe same were appliquet to
the train of eqnal distances.
The petticoat of the richest rose satin, trimmed
with the same lovely lace as the train.
fcThere wu also the Princest.' pillow(the cover
ing formed entirely ot the richest guipure. Many
articles of underclothing were also displayed, all
of the richest and most lairy-like description;
Indeed, so fine that you could hardly see them
without a magnifying glass.
I also saw tbe gold lace, embossed with pearls,
for the trimming of a dress for tbe Empress of
Russia; but it was not yet decided whether the
dress should be made of white satin or tur
quoise blue velvet Havincr seen the effect ot
this beautiful trimming on teach ot the mate
rials above mentioned, I should decide lu favor
of 'he white satin, had I a voice in the matter.
There was also a dress for her Majesty the
Queen of Wurtemburg, quite of a simple kind,
and for morning wear. It was composed of a
rich blue silk, trimmed wl',h velvet of a deeper
shsde, and was, indeed, what I think slang
people In your country would call a "howler."
Bj-the-by, I forgot to tell you that the robe of
the Princess co.-t "only 200."
Tbe ladies with whom I bad the happiness to
be were in fits of delight at the "cheapness."
"Cheap as possible," said Mrs. X. "Matsc'est
une oraie occasion," cried out Madame de Z.
But somehow 1 noticed that the husbands
gradually got near the door, and looked at their
watches as if they hud important engagements
elsewhere.

Tho Aaaaal Reports.
The Secretaries are bnily at work getting up
their annual report. The documents to accom
pany the Navy report are 'already in the hands
of the public printer, and some of the others are
irell under way. Ths law teqnires that all of
them shall be in the hands of the printer thirty
days before the meeting of Congress; buthere
tolore but little attention has been paldtothltf
law, except by the Navy Department, which Is
always ready In time. The last volume of the
diplomatic correspondence of last year has no,
yet been printed, and Consequently the Message
and documents of last session have not bee
distributed to the members. By the time they
are ready for distribution they will be worth
just about their value for. waste paper. The
8tat Department is usually about a year
behindhand in this as well as other matter.
A reform is badly needed in that Department,
and an infusion of energy and vigor In other
respects would undoubtedly prove or advance
to the Interetts of the Government.
Death of Miss Seward.
Miss Fannie 8eward, only daughter of Secre
tary Soward, died at 7 o'clock this morning. She
has been ill since Monday la3t, and her lather,
who was greatly attached to her, has been in
close attendance upon her through the week.
She was a young lady of great Intelligence, but
being of deep sensibilities, was greatly affected by
the death of her mother, and has labored under
much depression" of mind since that event.

practicable moment. No agreement; was made,
as alleged, to maintain the Juarez Government

This order relieves from quarantine duty the

The quarantine officers have been Dr. J. J,
Prince and Dr. T. E. Wilcox, acting under the
orders of Dr. George E. Cooper, Post 8urgeon
atd physician to Jeff. DavK The duties of the
AHany have been manifold, and performed in
the most stormy weather; and now that there is
no further necessity for her services as a quar
antine steamer, it is to be hoped she will be
transferred to even a more useful sphere of
duty.
Among the vessels which sailed from here lost
night and this morning were the British brig
J. B. b., from Rio, with coffee, to NoiT York,
and schooner General Torbert, for Philadelphia,
with a cargo of cedar wood.
Hon. William B. Reed, who arrived here yes

turned to Richmond this morning on the
steamer Georgiana.
Mr. Reed remained in the fortress with Davis

shipped at Memphis on the 20th of October in a
compressed state, and is destined for Boston.
Had the Poston steamer been ready yesterday
for immediate transshipment tbe cotton could
have been in Boston in nine days, when, by the
ordinary water route, it would have required
twenty days at least, thus showing a great sav

A report by the Board of Health of Portsmouth,

Colonel Lynch Was, Kte.
Louisville, October 28. Judge Craig, of the
City Court, was this afternoon assailed by
Robinson Slater, and seriously injured. The
accounts of the grounds for the assault are so
conflicting, that an eiamlnation must be bad
before the cause thereo'can be ascertained.
W. C. 8ummerville, of Charlestown, West
Virginia, was found dead on Saturday morning
on the steamer Prima Donna, evidently from
cholera, A check drawn at Marietta, Ohio, for
112,600, was found on his person.
It is rumored, but discredited In legal circles,
that the Court of Appeals has decided that
General Palmer was guilty of felony for assist
ing in the escape of slaves while he was com
mander of this military district.
On the authority of Colonel Starr, command
ing the late Fenian expedition, now here, we
state that the Colonel Lynch convicted and
sentenced to be hung at Toronto, was a boA
keeper In a mercantile house in this city, and
was sent with the Fenian expedition by bis em
ployers. He had no rank in the Fenian organi
sation, and did not belong to the expedition.
He accompanied tt merely as an adventurer, to
report to his employers. Colonel Starr
offered Lynch a commission, which Lynch re
fused to accept.

BY REV. WOLCOTr CALKIN.
It Is not my purpose, my Christian friends, U
revive oa the present occasion the painful ra
collections of a bereavement which yon have
already deplored. ' We may leave to tha asbc
Uevlng world that leng bewildered anguish for
the departed which receives no consolation
from religion. This life Is their only life; as its
loss is Irreparable, their mourning fot death
may wall be without hounds; as they have nt
hope beyond the grave, time may obliterate,
but can never relieve their desolatioa. Bntto
the Christian there Is not only a time to weep,,
but a measure to tears. Ta restrain the lrst im
pulses t grief for inch a loss as we have suffered,
would be doing violence to our nature; hut to
cherish these feelings for the sake oi that mys
terious luxury which despondency affords,
would be a denial of the lubllmest truths of ear
religion. The same graces of character which
cause us to regret the death of the righteous
invito us to rejoice in their felicity, and hope

Why then do I come to open afresh the forjn.
tains of yonr sorrow, after more than the forty
days have passed, which were appotnted,o! old
as the. period to languish over the gravest
Because I can direct your thoughts now to those
evidences of God's compassion in this bereave
ment which I conld not discern myself, much
less point out to you, through the veil of our
first affliction. As we saw that venerable form
consigned to the dust, the sting of death waa.
too bitter, tho victory of the grave was too cruel
to endure reflections upon the principles of that
beautiful life. Or It we had spoken at length of
his goqd deeds, then it would have been to Jus
tify our tears for his loss, not to profit by hla,
example. -
But it li in vain that we attempt to honor the
memory of the departed, if we do not calmly
consider and firmly follow the Christian graces
which have adorned their conversation In this
world, and cheered their entrance to the next
with the hopes of an Inheritance Incorruptible,
undented, that fadeth not away.
' It Is with these views and motives, my Chris
tian friends, that I shall endeavor to set before
jou on this occasion tbe character of a man
who has risen from the obscurity of a common
laborer to bo tha head, of one of the largest
manufacturing establishments in your city; who

wno naa never .'vis'sied a prlpciple of honor
nor compromised a precept of religion in any
business transaction; who has not suffered his
own prejudices nor his lntereste to turn him
aside from the path ot rectitude; who has

positions of immense responsibility, and in

making it his unalterable purpose to fight his
good right and finish his course while he was
alive, and not rely upon uncertain legacies to
make good the defects of a half-consecrated life.
I The gracious providence of God has always-
prepared those who are to serve Him in posl
tions of treat responsibility and peculiar dif .
Bcultv, by an early training corresponding to
their destiny. The birth and education of Mat
ihias William Baldwin appear to have been ad
justed by Infinite Wisdom to the influence be,
was called to exert on this community.
Ills business required thrift, industry, and
close economy ; he was deptived ot the support
ol his father at a tender age, and witnessed the
untiring exertions of a devoted mother to repair
tbe loss of their fortunes, through the mtoman
eement or unfaithfulness of the trustees of the
family estate. The education which he needed
was not a thorough scientific training, nor the
cultivation of literature, bnt a free aad sate
development of his own natural ingenuity. He
was sulfered to follow the bent of his own mind,,
to spend more time in mechanlcabcontrivances
than In books while he was a child, and In early
youth be was allowed to learn the trade wb!ih he
preferred. Above all, his mission oa earth
demanded sterling honesty (be was Instantly
curbed ux his first thoughtless encroachment
upon the rights of property) and stern self-re-tralnt.
tie was led by a dreadful example
ot Intemperance In one of his relations, to em
brace tbe rule of total abstinence from intoxi
cating drinks as a beverage through all his life.
And, above all, religious faith. He had the
memory of an excellent father and the instruc
tions ot a devout mother to prepare bm betut
for the regenerating influences of ood'a spirit
in early manhood. Thus, throuifiiout the lire
of the boy and tho apprent". we may now
discern the gO"J hand ot ood guiding his foot
steps to Jw subseauou works of surpassing '
Wllmvyou totorm a fair estimate, first of '
il. of the vlue of these mechanical labors. I
that some Will CSOSider thta hmniitt, fha.
diruitr ot religious discourse. Eminence in the
learned professions, when graced with Christian
charity, is a fitting themo for sacred eloqnenoe..
When the heroic soldier falls on the field of car
nage and victory, his dreadful work of deetruc
tion is crowned with lmpaloned eulogy, In the
presence of applauding thousands. To the,
gratitude of rescued citizens and the imperisha
ble renown of history, which prompted the sol
dier's panegyric in ancient times, Christian
rhetoric has added tbe noble and puissant
inspirations of immortal hopes. Bat the com
mendation of peaceful industry is exhausted
when it is said of a successful artisan, thus and '.
thus he amassed wealth to do something more .
honorable. "
