Tlic fnarket remains as last quoted. The drain from
the West fig the movement of the crops still continues,
and capitalists arc remarkably circumspect in their se

complications at Washington has been increased by
the accounts from the West of a partial failure of the

EUROPEAN AFFAIRS.
IN SWIYZGBI^ND.
(Oini-iH.jHleiicc fl the PldlHtfelphia Evening Bulletin.t
l’.MMe, 'I ueeday. September 17, IHG7.—I have
placed tbe above words at the head of' my letter
on ri commencing my correepondence r because it
is sc ir< elv possible for any one who has been in
Switzerland this summer,and is writing to Amer
ica, to refrain Irom mentioning what lie has seen
in the former country. Indeed, what must
strike an American most of all in Switzer
land, even amidst all the wonders of Nature
which lie goes to 6ee there, is the still
more wonderful influx of his own country
pebjile., 'Ntiver before in- previous-' seasons Was
anything Jike it known. From the.,moment l you
set foot in Switzerland until yon leave it again,
you might fancy that the people of the United
States had annexed the most picturesque portion
of European territory, so amazingly did the Ame
rican element prevail over every other. You find
there representatives of every class, and every
opinion, and every denomination—diplomatists,
artists, soldiers, men of business and men of
pleasure., On entering Switzerland, nearly the
first person I encountered was the United States
Minister to Paris, who, with his family, was so
journing for a short lime at that pleasant retreat
1 1 record and recommend it, with gratitude, for
the benefit of others), the Pension Nett
Schweizcrhaus, magnificently situated at Lu
cerne, and kept bv those worthy proprietors and
citizens, Messrs. Kost Brothers. The worthy
General appeared to be in the enjoy
ment of all ids itnuai energy, not
withstanding his long and fatiguing
rummer campaign in Paris amidst the toils of the
Exhibition and the cares of office, and was look
ing into the constitution and actioD of tbe Swiss
people and government with the acumen of the
diplomatist, and into the remarkable engineering
skill of their railroads, with the interest natural
to the Chairman of the Great Pacific. The Gen
eral, however', soon started for flomhourg, where
lie w’culd.nieet with a.crowd of colleagues ready
to enlighten "‘or ' mislead) him on the'
-ipte of Europe in general, or of
Germany in particular. But go where one might,
America and American talent were sure to start
up before one in Might I be ex
cused telling one little personal anecdote of the
■ pleasant >•<•«<•<,»/wone met'with this summer, in
the land of the mountain and the flood ? I found
myself silting beside a charming young person
at a tiiUi-d'hiiU at Grindelwald. So-delicate,
at once graceful and easy and natural, there was
no mistaking her to be American, though who
she ■ggs, or the happy man who sat ,
on the jother side of her, I knew no more j
than the man in the moon. ‘-What could you !
be saying to that very pretty woman at dinner, j
to make her blush so?" asked,somewhat reproach- i
lully, a female friend who had sat opposite, in a
tone as though I had to compro
mise- myself or my good manners. “Ah! my dear
Madam," I replied, "I have had the happinfc-s to
impart the poorest gratification by the .most un
conscious praise! and find that I have just been
telling Mr.-. Bi dt, without being in the least
Aware of it. that the ‘Rocky Mountains' was tbe
noblest portraiture of the sublimities of nature ever
transferred to canvass, and tbe glory of the Fine
Arts Department of the greatest Universal Exhi
bition the world has ever seen." It was even so:
and just as 1 had finished my encomium, the
lady to whom it was so appropriately but wholly
unconsciously addressed, had turned round, and.
blushing like a bride, bad said simply: “tbe pic
ture was painted by my husband"—and presented
me to Mr. Bi -dt. who sat beside her. T(ie
great American artist, with indefatigable energy-,
baa been covering yards of canvass with exquisite
snvi itir.- of Swiss scenety travel, and. after as
cending the Faulhorn.the last time I heard of him
lie was seated,brusfi in hand.in front of the Devil's
Bridge., on the St. Gothard. But everywhere in
Switzerland this year the name and fame of Ame
rica have been predominant. In some places tlie
er.lire traveling community seemed to consist of
nobody else. A fact which particularly struck mu,
too, was, that the spread of the Euglish language,
now so remarkable among . tbe Swiss, was con
stantly to be attributed to American influences,
rather than to those of the mother country-.
Over and over again, to the question of how or
where did you learn Euglish, the answer was,
‘-•from Americans," or “in America.'’ as naturally
as though that were the original source. I close
tins lia-sty skereb as I began, by saving that as I
entered Switzerland with diplomacy, I left it with
war. and came up in the train to Paris with
General McClellan, who was the object of great
curiosity and interest to all those who caught the
sound of his name along our route

'l'lie Pan-Anglican Synod.
The special services in connection with t.he
Synod commenced on Saturday afternoon, the
li’th of September,in the Church ot St. Lawrence
Jewry, Guildhall, one of the largest and hand
somest churches in the city of London.' The
Bishop of London was first advertised to preach
the opening sermon, hut in consequence
of his indisposition the duty devolved
upon the Right Rev. Dr. L. Polk, Bishop of
Louisiana. Four o’clock was the hour ap
nointed for the service, and at that hour the
church was crowded. The congregation is said
to have been the largest ever assembled on a
week day in the city, cJrecpt on' some national
special service at St. Paul's Cathedral. At the
sound of tlie organ a procession emerged from
the northwest corner of the church, and moved
slowly down the aisle, about (iO choristers in sur
plices singing the processional hymn: “The Son
of God goes forth to war.” The Lord Bishop of
Louisiana, U. S.’, followed, attended by about
thirty’ clergymen in their robes.
In the evening a second service‘was held, aud
the sermon preached by the Rev. \V. Cadman,
one of the'most popular Loudon preachers.
On Sunday, the 13th, the services were le
-.smncdjt he Bishop of Antigua preaching in the
.morning, and the Bishop of New Zealand in the
evening.
On the Kith there were ttiree services at the
same- church, the preachers being the Bishops
Niagara, British Columbia, and Ontario.
On the lith the Bishops of Barbadoes, Labium
ami Rupert’s Land" were to preach.
On the 18tlr the Bishop of Honolulu, Bishop
Twells. of tlie Orange Free Slate, am) Bishop
Poser, of the Central African Mission.
On the 19th the Bishop of Arkansas, the
Bishop of Vermont, and the Bishop of New
York.
On Sunday the 22d the Bishop of Rhode Island
was to preach at Trinity Church, Footing; the

while various schemes are on foot for provid

A Enitcd States Soldier Falls Ucir to :i
Nrotcli Baronetcy and Five 'Jl'uou
saml PoundN a Year.
(VVadiiuston I orre.-reiideiiCN. V. Hcralit.l
A romantic little incident has just come to my’
knowledge. The facts as given to me.are as fol
lows : Two years ago Hugh Crawford Pollok, a
young gentleman, then about twenty years old,
suddenly disappearecMtom bis home in Scotland,
much., to ibe dismay of bis relatives and
acquaintances. It subsequently became known
that be had conic to this country with live hun
dred pounds in his pocket. He sported about
New York and other cities until liis funds com
menced to fun short, when, in a fit of despera
tion, iie enlisted m the Jth United States Cavalry
as a private soldier, and in thaj;humble capacity
struggled against hardships and deprivations to
which he had beeu wholly unused. In the mean
time his father died some four months ago', leav
ing Hugh heir to a baronetcy and a snug little
income of ,t'S ( UOU per annum, or about .$23,000
in gold. The young bnrouet was duly
sought for, and, after an expenditure
of $BOO in advertisements, it was ascer
tained that lie was stationed at Camp Verde,
Texas, discharging the duties of a farrier. Col.
William 8. Hillyer, of New York, who became
interested in the case,'induced ' Sir Frederick
Bruce to procure the discharge oi' Pollok, which
was promptly acceded to by General Grant. The
young Sir Hugh Crawford Pollok lias, therefore,
been telegraphed for, and has given up the occu
pation ot sheer and enrer of horses to enter
upon a Scotch baronetcy and U'.VJiOO a year. Such
L life.
JcS'i'. Davis in Ciiiuida.
The latest report concerning this noted person
states that he is about taking up his residence in
Toronto. Ho has for some months been a resi
dent of Montreal, and the idea has become cur
rent that he was living like a retired monarch,
courted by tlie Canadians, and worshipped bv
those who followed his fortunes, and “left thei’r
country for their country's good.” The truth is,
that Davis lias for some months occupied an
inferior house in Montreal, aud his presence
in that city'., is a matter of total in
difference lo • the majority of those who
live there;" That" ho is not surrounded
by any’numerous cortege maybe readily seen,
when we state that a day scarcely passes over his
head that he is not seon at St. Lawrence Hotel,
where his presence creates no more excitement
than that of any other person who drops in to
hear the news and see wliafls going onr His de
parture from, Montreal 'will cause no regret, and
his presence In Toronto will create-a dine days’
talk, when he wUI bo dropped. Aaron Burr lived
many years after the public had almost forgotten
tlmteueh a jnad oyer had an existence, and Jef
ferson Davis will no doubt follow iuliia footsteps,

Gen. Riv.n I’aiacio thanks Marshal Bazaine for
"this proof of his humane and noble .sentiments.’
Did he at the time know that lie and his army
had .already been marked out by the.-Marshal for
revenge as outlaws who must’be killed; but on
no account be taken prisoners? Nothing but the
fortune of war, placing a large number of the ex
peditionary troops in the power of this Mexican
general, saved Marshal Bazaine from the respon
sibility of a crime as great as the execution of
Generals Ortega and Salazar, and their com
panions.
Girurdiu follows up Ills incriminations against
tins Marshal by the following eloquent remurks:

A Mexican Liberal Heroine.
The war tbaVhas come to an end in Mexico had
its heroines like most other wars of its kind.
None of them, however, was bo well known as
Ignucia Rieby, a native of Jalisco and daughter
of Spanish parents. She entered the ranks of
the Liberal army when the French invaded the
country. She performed many prodigies of
valor, "and became an aid on the stall’ of General
Arteaga, who was executed by Meutlez, at Urua
pan, in October, 1805, and became' a prisoner
with him. When Arteaga and-his companions
were shot she refused to be present at the * execu
tion, and blew out her own brains with a pistol
in prison sooner than remain a prisoner iu the
hands of the Imperialists.

TRAGEDY IN RONTON.
Attempted Murder and Suicide.
80.-ti.i-N, ficpl. —A horrible tragedy occurred
iu a house oi ' ill-l’ume in this city, toward H.:in
o'clock to-night. A .man from Cincinnati, who
gives the name of B.iheoek, proceeded to the
premieei- occupied by Frank Howard, at No. H
Aldcn street, ami attempted to murder u female
inmate of the premises with whom he seems to
have been previously acquainted. Babeoek drew
a revolver and tired three shots at tirewoman. Al
though in c lose proximity to his intended victim,
rhe eseaped tin sea tiled. Babcock then turned the
weapon upon himself and shot hitnsqlf through
the right cheek. Producing a knife lie next
stabbed liimsclf three times iii the left breast and
fell fainting to tlie lloor. The wounded man was
removed to the Massachusetts Hospital, -where he
was properly eared for. Jiis condition is looked
■upon ns most critical. It has been ascertained
that he wrote two letters, one to his mother and
the other to a person unknown before seeking to
conjmit the crime. \

’lTiatlilcus Stevens.
. The Lancaster of the dsth iust, is grati
fied to learn that Mr. Stevens is recovering from
the severe attack which prostrated him on Sat
urday last. It will be a great relief to thoMoyal
people of the nation ,to know that there is a fair
prospect of their having hiaservices in the ap
proaching session of Confess, which bids fair
to be one of the most, exciting and important
ones that ever convened. The precarious condi
tion of Mr. Stevens’ health lias been \a source of
deep concern to his many friends for some time
past, and the momentous importance attached
to the session now at hand has added to their
uneasiness in regard to him. His loss at this
time could be looked upon in no other light than
that ol a national calamity: but for the present,
at least, they may rest assured that tho prospects
are that he will ho abie to do good and cflective
service in the approaching conflict.
