Under your leader of a "Princely Policeman," you say John. Bull dis played his native brutality. Well, perhaps, he did; but at any rate would it not have been fairer to relate the facts and left your readers to draw their own conclusions? It is the general opinion amongst men professing to know these things, 'that there Is no country in the world where the people are less inclined to -resort to violence in -- crowds than are - - the - Euglish — people, - -and I think if we only refer- to the hundred thousand men who were rather roughly assailed In the LOndon Park, during the agitation for the Reform bill, and the good-tem pered. way in which the) , attempted to counteract the efforts of the pollee to remove them, and this -during the whole time without either a knife or pistol being used, or, so far as we know, attempt ed to be used, we should not err widely if we said their brutality was of a very mild character.

I had' resided in the cotton districts of England, and had seen men by thousands idle for want of cotton, which to them meant htead, themselves and their families sink ing deeper day by day until at the cud to the great bulk there was, no other resource than the aid or the charitable or the shelter of the Unions during all this time there was a persistent deter mination on the part of the men (statistics say 500,000) that, let their sufferings be what they would, they " would bear them manfully, in the desire that the government of the, United States should have fair play. They did bear them nobly, as ' theintelligent4vorld k ara wee- qarm-tufr from amongst these, andbeing upright and manly articles, in which the writers in the Liberal Press aimed at placing matters fairly before the public, I was. as I said, pained - e hen I found the almost rabid way in which the Press of this country assailed Englavd; some allowance might certainly be made, for the times were critical; but from that day to this, if I take up a newspaper, I fully look to find some one sided or willful misrepresentation of English affairs. I know there are papers in England that just as willfully belle this and other countries; but I know likewise in connection with this, the Liberal papers there persistently aim at showing up such misrepresentations. Respectfully - Yours, AN Esocisuatax.. Philadelphia, Aug. 14, 1867. The article was not the expression of the opinion of this paper and did not profess to be. It was simply a "clipping," with an inoffensive word or two attached by way of introduction. As our correspondent is an Englishman, and seems hurt that there should be so little reverence displayed for things British, we hope he will not be shocked to learn that the article in question was taken from an English newspaper.--(ED. itudaur.

The barometerindicated an early change, and the Idiot, who was familiar with the weather at this season, predicted a hurricane, The .Narva ac •cordingly ran into port here on Sunday, and wia go 04'10-morrow if the weather is fair.

Our des patches come by the way of John Quiffs, inde pendent News Association, and can be relied on as correct. Nv.w Your:, August 15.—The Herald has the following in relation to the sea-serpent: "This celebrated 'monster, the only one of the kind known to have ever existed, is expected in New York in the course of a few hours. He is a lineal descendant of the well-known animal with whose transactions in the garden of Eden our readers ate doubtless familiar. Inheriting all the 'shrewdness and cunning of his ancestors he has wisely ignored the villages on the coast, and come direct to the metropolis. He is now sport ing amid the foam capped waves off. Sandy Hoek, awaiting the arrival of the Henrietta, which is to convey a party 'of distinguished gentlemen, in cluding Mr. Bennet, Jr., to offer the serpent a welcome to the city, with the freedom of the Bay, and also to warn him against the insidious machinations of Barnum, who is already prepar ing a tank for his reception•" The Tribune after commenting on the advent of the serpent, suggests that upon his arrival in the bay, he should be immediately bailed out. The Times has not quite decided whether It is a ser pent or not. The World is disappointed because it is not of the Copperhead species. This is positively the only genuine sea serpent. He will not go further than New York. Bosrotc, Aug.lsth.—The sea serpent—emblem of nautical wisdom—is now coming up the bay, evidently attracted by the woild-wide fame of the modern Athens. He appears to be about the size of the Bunker Hill monument, and I should think could exist comfortably in the pond, where he will be located during his stay. A meeting is now being held in Faneueil Hall to provide for his reception, and a well known literateur is pre paring an article about bim for the Atlantic Monthly.' Prof. Longfellow has written an ode entitled "Wake up Snalx" which is to be sung during his sojourn, to the accompaniment of the great organ. He will not visit any' other city. PonmaNn, Aug. 15.—The captain of a fishing smack has just reported that he saw the sea serpent but two hours ago, distinctly through his glass making a straight line for this city. There can be no doubt of the fact that this is the great original monster, The captain of the fishing vessel has just dis covered a piece of twine tied across the end of his glass. This may account for his impression in regard to the serpent,. NEWPORT, Aug. 15.—The sea serpent can now seen sporting amid the breakers at this place. He is apparently twenty miles long, and as thick as an ordinary railroad tunnel. He will probably remain here for several weeks. The hotels here are not more than half full. CHICAGO, Aug. Is.—The grtutt ,sea-serpent is just passing this place now, and seems, by his ex treme agitatku; to feel great surprise at the ex tent and magnificence of this city. The general feeling here is, that if he could speak as signifi; candy as he wriggles, he would make a number of complimentary observations. LATER.—Ileis now swimming about in the neighborhood of the tunnel, and is lashing the water into a fury, as if endeavoring to express his admiration and aston ishment. MILWAUKEE, Aug. 15.—PRIVATE AYU CONII DENTLAL.—PIeaIse telegraph: um at once, If Chi cago reports having a sw.-serpent. If so, Mil waukee also has one. Chicago never led this town, and never will. -I will send full particulars when I receive your reply. CINCINNATI—Mrs. McGrath: send me two clean shirts by express. L McG. [NoTE--The opera tor at the telegraph office has evidently sent the wrong despatch, but we give it for what it is worth.] WAsimicrox, D. C., Ang. 15th.—The sea ser pent is now coiled up is the Potomac at. Seventh *Street wharf. A Cabinet meeting is in session to deterrmne the policy of the government in regard • - ratought he will be handecl over to the Navy Department. Larou.—General Grant has just come from the White House and driven down to the river. He wail heard to mutter, "The trail of the serpent is over them all." This is regarded as indicative of the President's intention to re move Secretary Welles. Admiral Farragut is named as his successor. STILL LATER.—The report that there is a sea ser pent here, and that Secretary Welles is to be re moved, has no foundation whatever. This I have from official sources. NNW CASTLE.—The sea serpent has just passed this place on his way to Philadelphia. He is a very intelligent serpent, and seemed to express an earnest desire to visit the birth-place of Amer ican Freedom. The Mayor has been telegraphed to, and it is expected that every attention will be shown_ him. He will inspect the Fairmount waterworks, swim around League Island, and if possible visit Independence Hall and the MILLEN TIN BUILDING. He will also go through the new Ledger building. ATLANTIC CITT—It was thought that the sea serpent was approaching this plebe, and there was 'considerable excitement for some time among the hotel-keepers. It has since been as certained that the object seen was only the re flection of the lighthouse on the sad sea waves. DARBY. Aug. 15.—The town was thrown into an uproar this morning by a report that the sea serpent had been seen coming up the creek. It turned out, however, that the animal which caused so much excitement was simply a fishing worm, accidentally dropped overboard by a small boy. The boy has suddenly climbed over a fence and left for parts unknown. The town is calmer. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15.—Gen. Halleck has issued an order attaching Alaska to the Military District of California, making Sitka the head quarters of the District, and designating Company H, 2d Artillery, and Company F, 9th Infantry, for garrison duty at Silks. The troops will sail for Sitka on Sept. 13. The District Commander Is yet to be named. . Torchlight Procession in Charleston. 'CHARLESTON, 8.0., Aug. 1 '6.—A torchlight pto cession of members of the Union League, num bering abont two thousand freedmen, with ban ners and transparencies, marched through the streets to-night for the purpose of drawing out all freedmen who have not yetregistetrd. The number registered today was 721,0 f whom 132 were whites and lin 'were Uolored. NASHVILLE, August 15.--Governor Brownlow, in% letter, the publication of which he has authorized . , denies explicitly that he made any statement in Knoxville favoring enfranchisement of rebels.

PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1867. EUROPEAN AFFAIRS. ENG LAND. John Bright and the Representation or Minorities. [From the Birmingham Post, Aug. 1.1 The following letter from Mr. J. Bright, M. P., addressed to a leading member of the Liberal Party in Birmingham, was received on Wednes day afternoon: "iliv Dear Sir: You see the vote in the Lords. It parlially disfranchises Birmingham. Instead of your liming three voices, or two, in a great division on a great principle.you are now to have only one. Your future Tory members will pair with me or with Mr. Dixon, and there will be left only one vote for your great community. Bir mingham is now to be reduced to the position and weight of Arundel or Caine in a great Parlia mentary division, and this in the year of reform and extension of popular power! You will see that certain of the Whig Peers have joined this childish or nefarious scheme. It is not the less dangerous on that account. I hope you will take some steps to counteract this propo sition. The great towns should send depute tious np to London to urge the Governnaent to maintairuthe Integrity of the bill. Ido not think Mr;Disraeli wishes to injure the bill, He spoke earnestly against this scheme in the House, and I hope he will adhere to his own view on so grave a matter.. You should not for, a moment dream of consenting to the audacious proposal to de stroy the political weight and force of your borough. lam sincerely yours, Jouv BRIGHT; Manchester, July 31. 1867. The Abyssinian Captives. Sir Samuel Baker writes to the Times urging (on the strength of his knowledge of Africa) that if an expedition is undertaken, it must be a Joint expedition by England and Egypt, and that the forces must be on the frontier.early in November at the commencement of the healthy and dry season. A correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazelle, who appears to have given great attention to the sub ject, says: "A last and well organized diplomatic effort should be made to obtain the liberation of the captives before actual hostilities are resorted to. This effort should be backed by the demonstra tion of the preliminaries necessary for the land ing and advance of an expedition into the inte rior; but the force should not be sent until a fixed time has elapsed sufficient to allow of a final reply being received from King Theodorus. My strong conviction is that such an attempt, discreetly managed, would lead to the immediate surrender of the captives without our being called upon to fire a single shot." FRANCE. The Recent 'Visas of the Empress to , Queen Victoria. ) [Paris (July al) Correvio ße ndence of the Independance lge.l It does not appear that Queen Victoria is coin ing to Paris. It. is said that one of the motives of the journey of the Empress to . Osborne was to induce the, British Sovereign to make an ex cursion to the Continent. It Is also said that the mission of Her Majesty Eugdnie was to commu nicate to Queen Victoria some letters of the Em peror Napoleon 111, and the Emperor Maximilian, 'calculated to throw a new light upon the matter so sadly-terminated at Queretaro, and- to dispel any prejudices that may have been entertained in England respecting the part played - by the Im penal Government throughout. this incident. The Health of the Prince Imperial. [From Ic Blonitetir Officio], July 313. The Prince Imperial appears to have already derived great benefit from his stay at BagniFes de-Luchon. He bathes regularly every morning, and takes a walk of two or three hours on the mountains. He has never been better. It need hardly be said that he is the theme of all conver t-ation and of all thought in the nei,ghborhood. His pleasant, healthy countenance, his vivacity and amiability, have won all hearts. The Expoidtion Buiyting to Me He- moved. The Moniteur de I 'Arrnie contradicts the state ment of a recent date that the great building In the Champ de Mars will be allowed to stand, and that another place will be selected for the mancer vres of the army. It says : " This spacious ground is indispensable for the exercise and manoeuvres of the army and it i would be imposSible to find another like t at any convenient distance from our military establish ments. If a sacrifice has been made of two years fur a great public interest, it must be admitted that it has not bean without grave inconvenience as regards the instruction of the troops of the Paris garrison." Arrival of Citriotta at the Castle of Tervueren, near Brussels. A letter from Brussels, dated Aug. 1, recounts, as follows, the Incidents attending the arrival of the Archduchess Carlotta at the Castle of Ter vueren • "The Empress Carlotta, accompanied by the Queen, reached the Castle of Tervueren, where the King and the Count de Flandre were await ing her, this afternoon, at 6 o'clock. The voyage was accomplished aboard a special train from Germany. Orders had been given that no noise should be made at the different stations by which the train was to pass—this in accordance with instructions from Dr. Bulkens, Director of the Lunatic Asylum of Ghee!, whom the King sent to Miramar to accompany the invalid. The court carriages were drawn up inside the railway stations and the vehicle reserved for the Archduchess ani the Queen was standing close to the car, so Lb t the lookers-on scarcely caught aglimpse of Carlotta. lam therefore tunable to inform you whether or not the Princess has un dergone any great physical change since she left Belgium. Regarding future prospects, however, I know, from undoubted authority, that Dr. Bulkens, who, is a pupil of the celebrated Ghislain i has written to a confrere that he has hopes of being able to cure theinsanity of the un fortunate Princess. Carlotta is subject to violent crises, followed by great mental and bodily prostration. When thus afflicted, nothing can lighten her sorrowing for Maximilian's absence. It is said that she has heard of his death, but believes it to have been the result of disease, and when calmed ap pears resigned to her misfortune. Dr. Bulkens and the Queen had grefit difficulty to Induce her to bid farewell tO the recollections that bind her to Miramar. She derived some con solation during- the journey by the thought that she was about to see her brothers and her native land, that she left, gladdened by countless illusions and hopes, to follow her hus band. Ten years have gone by since then; ten years, almost day for day, for Carlotta was mar ried to Maxamilfan July 27, 1857. The Castle of Tervueren, where. the Princess now dwells, is part of the domains of the Crown. it appearno have been intended for a hunting rendezvous, as it is surrounded by an immense park, teeming with game. The site is one of the most picturesque in the vicinity of Brussels." PAIISSIA. Speech oft the King. King William acived in Wiesbaden July and met with an enthusiastic reception. In reply to an address ]presented to him by, the Burgo master, His Majesty said:' "This is the first time that we wet under the altered eircunastances. Titelchange ha's certainly been radical, and we observe it most in this your former Duke's capital.

I also trust that these feel- lags Will Leconte strongeratid stronger; my offi cals shall act with that object iu view. Tliatiks for your good wishes." Military Reforms. The Military institutions of Prussia (according to a Bap' correspondent) are continually im proving: At present a new division of the land war districts is planned. The reform has for a long time past been felt to be an urgent neces sity, becau the division hitherto in use has ceased to artnonize with the proportions of population. he necessity for a new division of the landwehe districts has lately been augmented by the territorial enlargement of Prussia. The chief residents have been directed to make the necessary preparations for the division of the lnndwehr districts \according to battalions and companies. Efiffl The Ruptur e e with Rome. In consequence of the rupture of diplomatic relations with the Papal Government, rules have been promulgated for reghlating the relations of the Russian and Polish Catholic clergy and laity to the Holy See. The former relations of the Russian Government with the Pope will now he carried on through a Roman Catholic College in St. Petersburg. In the event of questions arising which cannot be decided by that College, its Pre sident 'will ask the opinion of the Pope, and the -reply of his holiness before being carried into ettect will have to be submitted to the .Russian Minister of •the Interior. The decisions of the Holy See may be observed in Russia so long as they do not come into collision with, the institu tions of the country or the rights of the chief of the State; in the contrary case all Papal Bulls are to be considered null and void. ITALY. Garibaldi's Movement. The Florence correspondent of the Paris Temps, writing on July 30, says : "In every conVersa don the belief is expressed that something is about to happen. One of the superior Garibal dian officers said to somebody, 'There is no un derstanding with Ratazzi; there will perhaps be another Aspromonte. but we cannot recede—the 'old man' (Garibaldi) is decided.' The 'old man' is still at Vinci In a patriot's pretty villa." CONOVER CASE. Statement of 111. r. Beniaman [From the New York 3 hot e.] The subjoined statement, having reference to the affidavits published in the Times of yesterday, appears in last evening's Daily A' ems, of which lion. Benjamin Wood is propnetor and editor. We also append the affidavit of Mr. Bruno upon the same subject. The documents to which these gentlemen give such explielt denial appeared, simultaneously with their publication in the Times, in Washington and Philadelphia papers, and were furnished to the press with the usual marks of authenticity. rFrom the N. Y. Daily Newa.l The New York Times of to-day, in its Washing ton correspondence, publishes from documents alleged to be respectively the affidavits of Nathan Miser, James E. Mattersou, Francis McFall, and John Martin, in which the name of Mr. Benjamin Wood is mentioned in connection with certain attempts said to have been made to procure false evidence, against the Judge Advocate General. It is possibleiltat the Timesemeapondent ints.been the rietirp.of a senseless hoax, and that the whole batter hi'ari invention to creates newspaper sen sada& lithe affidavits really exist, they are, so far as Mr. Wood is concerned, so much abso lute perjury. Mr. Wood never, to his knowledge, laid eyes upon any one of the signers of these affidavits; never had an interview with any of them; never, to his recollection, beard of them before seeing their names printed this morning in the Times. The only knowledge he has of Chas. A. Dunham (Sanford Conover) is what he has gathered from reports in the newspapers; he does pot know the man, never spoke a word to him, never saw him in his life, unless, perhaps, in the public streets or elsewhere, as a perfect stranger. NVe could not, without the evidence of our eyes, believe it possible for any ono to invent a string of such unblushing, absolute falsehoods; and if the affidavits have really been' filed, Mr. Wood will take Immediate steps to procure the arrest of the signers, and will prosecute them without de lay for perjury.

The balance remain at the disposition of the government. None ,of the military men of the capital will be tried by court martial. The penalty of the law will be imposed; but inasmuch as the surrender of Mexico was not determined by a fight, one year will be taken off the sentence. About six hundred functionaries of the empire, civil and military, presented them selves to the authorities of the district of the ,capital, in accordance with the decree issued on the 21st of June.

The Ranchero says that half a dozen letters, re ceived by merchants at Brownsville, say that the traitor Lonez has been assassinated; still we have doubts that it is so. The Legend of Ittirahusr. The Journal de Quebre quotes the following from the Trieste correspondence of a Spanish japer, La Tonperamt : The da3 on which the first envoy from Napo lt on to Miramar was returning from the castle to the railway station, the majordomo of Maxinillian accompanied him to the cars, but on his return• to the castle blew out his own brains. No cause was ever found out for the rash act. A few days previous to the reception of the second Mexican Commission that offered the crown to Maximilian the Countess do Luckzoff (strange sounding name in English); Grand Ca merista of the Archduchess Charlotte, and mother-in-law of the late Senor Gutierrez do Es trada, President of the Mexican Deputation, died very suddenly. To her was attributed the first idea of a Mexican empire. She also was the in termediary and support of the deputation of no-; tables in their efforts to get Maximilian to accept the proffered crown. She first gained the Arch duchess, and through her the Archduke, who at the start cared not for the exalted'honor,but even was opposed to the scheme. The writer cites other instances which were, at the time looked upon by many as ominous signs; ncd a native of Trieste, in 186.1, went so far as to compose the Italian rhyme which has lately been so extensively quoted in the. European and Ameri can papers:— E'nappo gallico Non Li fidare; Colmo dl sptuna. Tome al castello Il Timeo Danaos Di Miramare Chi non rieorda? Quel trono fracido, Sotto la ciamide Di Montezuma Trove la corda. Anyliee. Maximilian, beware! Turn back to the castle of Miramar.

This change of gauge gives the North Missouri road the four feet eight and a half gauge, which is the same as that of the Hannibal and St. Joseph road, the lowa and Minnesota roads, the Union Pacific roads, and the same as nearly all -roads east of -us, and-vrill - enable -the -North- Nilsson. to carry boat freight and passengers to St. Joseph, Atchison and - Leavenworth, without change of cars, and to all points in lowa ., and Minhesota, and points reached by the Union Pa cific roads when their connections are formed,' and also East when 'the railroad bridge at St. Louis is built. We have heard it suggested that, in anticipa tion of the bridge, the Chicago, Alton and t3t. Louis, the Terre Haute, Alton, an. St Louis, and other Eastern roads, together with the North Missouri road, are considering whether it Will not be advisable to make a similar improve ment to that at St. Charles near the North Mis souri depot on this side of the river, whereby freight and passengers can be transferred, so that passengers can take the cars on the St. Louis side of the river and freights be loaded from this side. We learn that the total cost of the improve ment for this purpose would not exceed fifty thousand dollars. It is the next best thing to a bridge, and would answer admirably. It would In the winter be subject to interruption when ferry boats could not run in the ice. It seems to us that it would be a most desirable thing to land and take passengers and freights from this side of the river, It is a great delay and annoyance, it seems to - us, to have to 'unload and ferry in wagons freights from and to St. Louis, from the Illinois shore,.and we know from our personal experience that• families and persons arriving and going Rastrifead the omnibus ride and cross ing of the river at St. Louis more than the whole tnp, and any improvement that will overcome this will meet with favor frem the traveling and business public. We are glad to learn that track-laying is pro gressing towards lowa, north of Macon. By the first of September it is expected that twelve miles of road will be in operation north of Macon, leaving only fifty-two miles more to complete to reach lowa, upon which the grading is about half done., It is Intended to have the North Missouri road done to lowa us soon as the St. Louis and Cedar Rapids or the lowa Central can meet it there, which it is thought will not be later than June of next year. Track-laying will commence on the West Branch of the North Missouri road by the first of September, and will be completed to Brunswick some time in October, a distance of forty The branch extending from Centralia to Co lumbia, in Boone county, a distance. of twenty two miles, will be completed about the first of . September. Six miles of the track are laid, and the contractors are pushing the work along. By the first of November or before, the North Missouri management expect to have some seventy-five miles of now road to operate, making a total length of road of two hundred and forty-four miles. It is believed that the completion of the road to Brunswick will nearly double the present busi ness of the road, and that when a connection can be formed with the lowa roads that it will greatly change its financial condition. "In looking over the whole field of St. Louis railway connections, the effects upon this city and the effects upon the proposed connection of the North Missouri Railroad on its own interests, it seems to us that it is second in importance to no road that connects with St. Louis, and that a few years will show it to be a splendid paying road. It will take a little time for this. It has to complete its connections, and get business flow ing over it which will at once follow its comple tion, when we predict that it will become one of the most prosperous roads in the country. It has our best wishes for its most abundatitsue- USE OF WOMEN IN HARVEsT.—A correspondent of the London Times says that the crops in Northumberland and Durham, and generally in the north of England, and in many parts cif Scotland, are reaped entirely by women, except when Irish harvest laborers are procurable es as- slstants, and whore the use of a reaping-maeldne has been adopted.
