Mr. Gladstone commenced the political canvass in Lancashire with an able speech at Worrington, In which he denounced the Tories for their bad financial policy and for their course in the Irish Church question. The Times of this morning has an editorial on the attitude of the parties in the United States m regard to the national debt. It says, admitting that both the Republican and Democratic parties contain large factions who urgo the payment of the principal of the debt in paper, the American statesmen, in the present vagueness of the law and in craving neces sity for economy, may conscientiously hold that view. But the Times argues that, should this policy be carried into practice, the credit of the country would be so deeply injured that, for all future loans the United States would be obliged to pay a higher rate of Interest than six per cent., so that they would lose in the end, and thus their economi cal objects would be defeated. Lohdof, Oct. 13 A meeting was held here to day for the relief of the sufferers by the terrible earthquake in Peru and Ecuador. Lord Mayo pre sided. Among the prominent persons who took an interest and part in the proceedings were the Go vernor of the Bank ot England, the Rothschilds and Barings. Noarly 7000 pouuds sterling were raised.

Madrid, Oct. 13 The Provisional Junta has issued another circular, urging the extinction of all religious corporations. Internal taxes on home or foreign wares have been abolished. Pabis, Oct. 13 The Oauloii has the following Spanish news: Glrgentl is at Paris. General Prim has written to the Emperor Napoleon, stating that the Provisional Junta desires close relations with France. They prefer a ruler who will be acceptable to France and to Europe.

General Lersundl has not pro claimed for the Provisional government, but will maintain order and law. He says he is a loyal Spaniard, and only retains and governs the island as a portion of the Spanish Provinces irrespective of parties governing the mother country. He claims to protect the lives and property of the citizens, and will impede any demonstration of any faction and preserve the peace. A small party assembled at Manzanlllo, and another at Bayomo. They con sisted mainly of persons of evil repute, aud their purpose was unknown. Fifty soldiers were sent in pursuit and dispersed them, capturing their horses and arms. The official organ at the capltol says the public works will be pushed forward, especially the com pletion of railroads from the capltol to Toluca, and from Tlalplan to Cueanavaca.

To-day everything is quiet, and no further troubles are apprehended. The city of Havana and all the island are entirely tranquil. The people respect aud obey Lersundl, and are all awaiting events in Spain. Lersundl has issued an address to the people and troops, exhort ing them to remain tranquil. It is an able docu ment and is well received. Additional advices from Mexico states that Col.

In the year which is now drawing to its end the art. the skill and the labor of the people of the United Stales have been employed with greater diligence and vigor and on broader fields than ever before, and the f ruit of the earth have been ga thered iiito tho granary and the storehouse in mar vellous abundance; our highways have been length ened, and new and prolific regions have been occu pied. We are permitted to hope that the long pro tracted political and sectional dissensions are at no distant day to give place to returning harmony and fraternal aflectlon throughout the republic. Many foreign States have entered Into liberal agreement with us, while nations which are far oil', and which heretofore have been unsocial and exclusive, have become our friends. The annual period of rest which we have reached in health and tranquillity, and which Is crowned with so many blessings, is by universal consent a convenient and suitable one for cultivating personal piety and prac tising public devotion. I therefore recommend that Thursday, the 26th day of November next, be set apart and observed by all the people of the United States as a day of public praise, thanksgiving and prayer to the Almighty Creator and Divine Ruler of the uni verse, by whose ever watchful, merciful and gra cious providence alone States and nations, no less than families and individual men, do live aud have their being. In witnets whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington this 12th day of October, in the year of our Lord 1808 and of the In dependence of the United States the ninety-third. By the President. Anphkw Johnson. Wh. H.

EARTHWORKS To the Editor of The Evening Telegraph, In reference to your recent article on King lake's History of the Crimean War, as you pro mise to return to the subject, may I beg to remaik that it was my nephew, Major Nasmyth, who originated that system of earth defences subsequently carried by Todleben to such per fection at Bebttstopol? A youth of one-and-twenty, and on sick furlough in England from an Indian regiment of engineers, be had, in company with a brother officer the Bon. Mr. Butler, eon of an Irish peer gone out to Silis trla as correspondent for the limes (London ) journal. To Interfere wUh military operations was no part of his duty, but it occurred to him that the place was capable of defence, and, making the suggestion to his comrade, they made such arrangements that the town was held out against an army of forty thousand Rus sians for forty days, when the Allied troops of France and Euglaud came up and relieved it; the works battered down in the day being regu larly restored In the night, so that the enemy was dally foiled in his design to carry it by storm next morning. Lieutenant Butler was killed at an early pi.it of the siege, and my nephew sustained so ninny wounds in the course of it that the remainder of bis life was a life of agony. The Sultan offered him the highest rauk in the Turkish service it he chose to change bis religion, and, on bis decliuing, got him appointed major in the British army, by special request to the Queen of England. The English Govern" nient, however, could find no better employment for his engineering abilities than by nominating him inspector of some Irish constabulary, nutil a necessity arose lor for.ltylnit the city ot Syd ney, in Australia, whither he proceeded, and would have accomplished hh tatk but fur the opposition he encouoteied from the parsimony ot the natives and B'r John Young, the Govemor( the barnacle who has la'.ely been fastened upon the Government of Canada, as well as a con temptible aristocratic imbecile named Lord John Tnjlor, whose enmity to him was aroused by the circumstance that he had obtained his rank by services on the field of battle. His subaltern position, of course, prevented Nas mith from challenging Young, and Taylor, who by toadying had acquired the rank of aid-decamp 1o filr John, was too base for bla notice. JJotbot these personages are thai r.eernd for the curse of the new Dominion of Canada, where, nnlcss arrested by the Fenians, they will probably raise a fresh rebellion. My nephew meanwhile "slumbers well," having, In the beautiful language of Elnglake, who has mourn fully alluded to him in the early part of his first volume, "quitted ns so soon, without, seemingly, being aware that he had accomplished anything great." I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant, D. Wemvss .Jobbon, Author of "History of the French. Revolution," etc.) 6U Washington Square, PhUada. Oct. 4, 18C8. MARINE TELEGRAPH.
