Hen Company : GINTLENIEN hereby respectfully tender to you my resignation of the - office of President of the Lehigh Coal N and - rrigaticrn Company. In doing sif. I may be per mitted to state that tbie movement has not been prompted er suggested in any degree by others, but has originated entirely from my own convictions of duty to myself, and a desire to benefit the Stockholders In a recentemergency. For some time past, as tome of you have known, I have felt oppressed with a sense of the yearly increasing diet. ciente, and responsibilities of my position, and anxious for relief from long continued and unintermitted applica tion to the duties connected with it: but the immediate cause of my placing my resignation , as I did last week, at the cumin ard of the chairman of the Executive Commit tee, was a desire to open the way for some gentleman of distinguiehed financial ability and resources to step in and extricate the Company from the pecuniary ember resement which hed arisen from the unexpected failure of our nocotiationis for the sale of our new loan in Eng laud. • In taking leave of yoii. I desire to expresi my high re spect for each member of the Board, and my grateful sp. predation of the confidence you have been pleased to rc• poSe in fee. Elected to the presidency by the unsolicited vote of the bole d, in Janiiiiry.- Itdi, to fill the vacancy netik.ion , ql by the death of my uncle. I have held the of. tire for a period of nearly five Year., which, by reason of vi hat has been accomplished during that time,. will con. etltute no in-ignificont or unimportant epoch in the his tory of the company. ho dirsetrous flood of .June, 1 1 1.12., had destroyed the .pre serif= of our navigation, shattered the lower lion, and isolated it from the old Lehigh and dusque. henna Railroad, leaving the C,pinpany in a condition 'which invited the efiorts'of oppieyink interests to prevent lie from re, , striblishing ourselves in a strong and indepen d• nt position in the valley of the Lehigh, by cutting us off from direct communication with any other source of trade than our own mines, and leaving us under the yearly in creasing disadvantage of having no winter outlet for out pelves or our =MOM en. These antagonistic efforts were made; but without RUCC , OII: and the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, through the extension of the Lehigh and Susqueluanati itallroad from White Haven to a connection with the' railroads across New Jersey, aided by other Important measures taken by tkle board, instead of occupying to day a position of Inferiority and dependence, has achieved one of mach great • intrinsic strength, that notwithitandlng recent Pecuniary embarrassments it mug. if properly guarded, lead in • dee time to a development 3 of trade to "which it is difficult to swim limits. The original cenreptioa of the inipirrtant work to which I have alluded, and its execution In the face of every •difticulty that rival interests • could interpose, are to be mainly aascribed,l think, to the Company's Chief Engineer; but to the Board of Manager+ belongs the credit, in which I claim a share, of having sustained him in hie project with almost entire unanimity. Time will show whether, Ia to doing, wit- haver-as conle suPPO O e, been plonking inconsiderately into fOO/141 expenditures of money, or have been laying broad and deep the foundation of future prosperity on an enlarged mac The construction of the Lehigh and Susquehanna Raft mad down the valley of ,the Lehigh is not all, however, that has been accomplished by the board during the perio d referred to. The completion and recent absorption into sue ca n organization of the Nanticoke RailroaZ, loaded to draw the trade of the Wilkeabarre coal field to our main line; the lease for ninety-nine year. of the Delaware Division Canal, at a rent which, thouhigh, aware' the Indefiendence of our own navigation; Important contracts for future business withttus Delaware and Raritan Canal Company - .'the Lehigh and Lackawanna Railroad Com pany, and various coal eompaniesoind latterly the nur chant of a controlling intermit in the Wllktabarre Coal and /rep Company, are all important/acumination/is of which cannot fall, and all of whichinay be hoped tia add largely to tle future prosperity . of the Company. asuisecure for ft a full Plisse of the everoncreming coal trade of this State. Whilst it Is a subject of great regret that the issue of new stock which became necessary in September last, to carry Into effect one of the measures above referred to bould have resulted threugh the advised haste of this recipients to realize on their stock. in breaking down the market price, thus affecting the credit of the company, and interfering with their financial arrangements, yet it Is satisfactory **remember that he board were emphatic in their opinion that the Bansaction which Involved the issue of the stock would be in Shish degree promotive of the permanent Interests of the stockholders, and were unanimous in their approval of it. I have 'Mt - understood that tley have reeti s any reason to change that opinion. VI e also have to regret that, in our anxiety to complete ibis year the extension of the Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad, we wet e led to rely too confidently on the sale of our new loan an London, and to negotiate temporary loans here to a large amount, with th e expectation of soon paying them o ff with the money to be received from Eng land but in this matter also the executive officers of the Company acted under the direction of the Board, and must ascribe the embarrassments which ensued to cir curnetancer beyond their controL clo, int, I beg to 'make m acknowledgments to the reveral Managers for the disinterested zeal they have always , shown in their endeavors to promote the interests of the Company, and fur the harmony and uniform courtesy which have always prevailed at their weekly (Atop,. I can say for myacif that I am conscious of having faithfully endeavored to do my duty. For ten years I have scarcely been absent as many days from my work, and then only by reason of sickness or famßy be reavement. That the Company may soon enter upon that career of renewed prospenty which we all believe to be in store for it in the future, so that our stockholders may reap in the shape of good dividends the benefit of the large ex penditures we bare felt called on to make according to our beet judgment of their interests, is the warm wish of your friend and obedient servant, JAMES S.

[From the New Orleans Republican. Wi A terrible accident occurred teat evening about six o'clock. The steamer Olive Branch, lying at the foot of Lafayette street, was backing out into the stream hint as a barge which had been unloading some brick at the levee was putting back to Algiers. The stern of the Olive Branch struck the barge, whirling it around under the wheels of the steamer, emaabing the barge into pieces, and sweeping the men in the bargo beneath the wheel and under the bull of the boat. Previous to the sinking of the bargo by the steamer, the officers of the Ida, lying alongside, obeerved the prem. done predicament of the - barge, and shouted to the captain and pilots of the Olive Branc h, but owing, we prefer to believe for the sake of human ity to te din and confu sion attending the departure of the boat, their cries were unheard, and the Olive Branch, after demolishing the barge and sinking the crew, reversed her engines and kept on up the river. Captain Willoughby, of the Ida, immediately manned a yawl and put out into the stream, and, although exer cising the utmost vigilance, could discover nothing of the unfortunate men. Without doubt they were rendered senseleee by the blows of the paddle-buckets, and sunk to rise no more. There were said to be eight men in the barge at the time of her sinking She has been for some time engaged in traneborting brick from Algiers to this city. We have been unable to wedeln the names of the men in the barge at the time she wee sunk, and up to midnight none of the bodies have been recovered. CUBA.

EUROPEAN AFFAIRS LETTER FELON PAISLIS. iCarreapondenee of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.) PAnis, Tuesday, Nov, 19, 1867.—Yesterday, at 2 P. M., the Emperor/opened the Chambers with the usual ceremony, and delivered the imperial speech. It is somewhat too early yet to appreciate the reception given to the Emperor's sentiments by the country at large,and in that respect I must reserve my observations for a future period. But I may say at once that the effect produced ,by the speech upon its immedtate auditinn, and upon the 'capital generally, has been ex tremely favorable. The speech throughout is of a negative character, and remarka ble for the absence of anything of an irritating or aggressive nature. The Emperor's great ob ject seems to have been to soothe the feelings at once of his own subjects and- his , neighbors. We miss, perhaps, something of the finn, ring ing tone which used to distinguish his early efforts of this kind, when he was, as it were, making his way in the world, and had to "stand up" for himself, his , dynasty and his position. There is now a smack of the mellow tone of age in the flavor of the imperial composition, and a visible effort to be pacific and con ciliating to all the world. His very first words are a peace-offering to the Liberal party, and a refutation of the rumors lately in circula tion,and of the langua eof the so-called ministe rial press. The Legisla ure meets thus early, the \ Emperor tells us, onpurpose to consider the laws on the press and th right of public meet ing. And farther on agal - he assures us that his own conviction-of the necessity of these reforms has undergone no change. So much for home politics. On foreign matters the Emperor Napo leon has never been so plain and explicit in hislangunge. There must be an end, he says, to, uncertainty. "The change effected on the other side of the Rhine must be frankly accepted." If there be any faith to be put in , words, here is an end at once and forever to the German ques tion, as far as France is concerned, and to all further apprehension of a breach of the public peace in that direction. This declaration alone is an immense boon to France, to Europe and to the world,which are now too closely cemented together for the intereits of any one part not to be affected by those of the other. The army-bill is to be proceeded with, but all idea- of-' aggression is repudiated. The imperial i language respecting Italy is more: satisfactory than have been the late Imperial acts. Hostility to the "independence and unify" of Italy is declared to be impossible on the part of France. And there is no pledge given to . maintain the states' quo in the Papal territory;itia only-said that the Convention exists "until"' replaced by something else. But it is evident ; that nothing has yet been done with a view to the latter object, except to "propose" a confer ence respecting it to the other Powers. The Universal Exhibition is, of course, noticed, annts grandest result specified as that of re moving error , and prejudice and international animosity. The Emperor might here, perhaps, have gracefully stretched his views to the New World as well as the Old, and thrown out an- expression of good feeling and "forgive and forget" to the United States. But .I regret to say he did not embrace the opportunity., Scarcely has the Great Universal Exhibition of 1867 closed its gates, before those of annual oc currence begin to announce themselves. Al ready French living artists arc called upon to be ready with their works on the ist May next, when the usual exhibition will be opened in the Palace of Industry, in the Champs Elyse:es. I call the attention of American artists to this yearly opportunity which is afforded them of making better known to Europe their now un doubted and acknowledged ability. The annual exhibition is open to all whose works are accepted by the Jury of Admission (no very formidable ordeal), and I trust that the great success re cently achieved by American painters and sculp tors on the Champs de Mars, and which was far greater with the European public at large than is testified by the medals awarded by the jnnes, will be an inducement to them to appear perManently in the field of European Art. I understand that Mr. Probasco, of Cincinnati, U. S., has recently purchased, or is on the point, of purchasing, for the immense sum of 150,000 f. (though 200,000 f. were, I believe, demanded), Meissonnier's picture of "The Charge of Cavalry' , at Austerlitz, considered by some connoisseurs as the chrfidtrurre of that clever but maniir; painter. Mr. Probasco possesses already, I believe, a valuable gallery of works of art, which he intends bequeathing to his native city. I trust, however, that American patrons will remember native art, and that the comparisons which they have recently had so good an--opportunity of making will have convinced them that their own countrymen are going quite as fast ahead in the ornamental, as in the scientific and mechanical line. All American men of letters, and very many general visitors to Paris, will regret to learn the very serious illness of M. Mignet, the celebrated writer and historian, and long Permanent Secre tary to the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences. There are few lovers of books, proba bly, who , have not perused his striking pages, descriptive of the monastic life and death of Charles V.; and no sojourners in Paris who have ever enjoyed the rare pleasure of hearing M. Mignet "read" one of his almost faultless compo sitions before the Academy, at any of its public sittings, can ever have forgotten the treat such an occasion must" have afforded them. It may truly be said of M. Mignet that his style of writing and his style of reading were worthy of each other, and both as near to per fection as possible. His present Complaint is in flammation of the lungs, and one which, at his now advanced period of life ' near 72 if I mistake not, causes great anxiety to his many friends and admirers. • A dinner was given two days ago to Mr. Henry Cole, at the Grand Hotel, in his character of founder and director of the celebrated South Kensington Museum, in London. Amongst the company assembled on the occasion was M. Fer dinand Lessepps, of world-wide reputation Bathe now acknowledged successful undertaker of what may perhaps tie designated as the boldest and most gigantic enterprise of modern times; ono of these works which we are accustomed to regard like the Pyramids of Egypt, as emnpatible only with the exercise "of despotic control over the physical . and pecuniary resources of a whole nation.

A band of Italian volunteers, without authority from' their own Sovereign, having Invaded the Papal territory and threatened home flash[ the Emperor of the French felt himself called upon to dcapatchan expedition for the protection of the Sovereign Pontiff and hie dominions. That object having been accomplished, and the defeat and dispersion of the volunteer force having relieved the Papal territory from the danger of external invasion, I trust that His Ikllll,Tilll Majesty will find himself enabled, by an early withdrawal of his troops, to remove any pos sible ground of misunderstanding between His Majesty's Government and that of the King of Italy.

These outtagea require to be rigorously put down, and I rely for their effectual suppression upon the firm administration of the law and the loyalty of the great mass of my subjects, Gentleinr>t of the Haute of C071M10114 The estimates for the ensuing year are in the course of preparation, and will in due time be laid before you. They will be framed with a view to economy, and to the necessary re qulsementa of the public service. HP Lords and Gentlemen: Aa a necessary sequel' to the legislation of the last session , bills will be/aid before you for amending the representation of the people of Scotland and Ireland. • • I have reason to believe that the Commissioners ap pointed to inquire into and report upon the boundaries -of existing boroughs, aa well an of the proposed divi sions of counties and newly-enfranchised boroughs, have made considerable progress in theirinqUirlea, and no time will be lost after the receipt of theirreportin laying before you theirkrm recommetdations for your consideration, and dettle A bill will also be presented to you for the more effectual prevention of bribery and corruption at electiona. The Public Schools bill, which has already been more than once submitted to Parliament, will again belafd be fore you. The general question of the education of the people re. quires your Jmost rerions attention, and I have no doubt that you will approach the subject with a full apprecia tion both of its vital importance and its acknowledged difficulty. Iliesanres will be submitted to you during the present session for amending and conitelniating the various acts relating to the mercantile marine. The exemption which the country 'has now for some time enjoyed from the cattle-plague, affords a favorable opportunity for considering such permanent enactments as may relieve the home trade from vexatious reetrictione, and facilitate the introduction, under tine regulation, of foreign cattle for home consumption. Measures for the amendment of the law, which have - been - deferred under the premiere( of 'MOM urgent business, will be submitted for your consideration. Other questions apparently calling for legislative action have been referred to the Commissioners, who, e reports, as they shall be received, shall, without delay, be laid before Parliament- It to my ...m..t prayer that all your deliberations may be so guided as to conduce to the general contentment and happinewi of my - people. , discuesion'ef the address then commenced. Lord Brownlow and Lord Hylton respectively moved and seconded an address in answer to theapeech. Weston thePedestrian—History of the Great teat. - • Edward Payson Weldon, the young American ,pMeie • trian, began his walk of 1,2277 i, miles, from Portland, Me.. to Chicago, 111, on the 29th of October, at 12 o'cloek: noon. the feat was attempted on a wager of 110,000 that Weston could not perform the distance in 30 da resting four eu/ adays on the ' trip, It was stipulated ys, that be hould, on some one day of the 26 wait 100 miles in 24 lours ; and that failin a rt the five different trials allowed him. he should forfeit e 6 reWi e lt stxl i f tl th ti of d hiß tß etak p e 'e; lll ‘. .. e '"ie,,',Lorneeoi' f inti h etisa kind as to excite strong t susp icions ra mt atat Weston did not intend to , accomplish the feat propcised. When he reached Conneaut, Ohio, 91 miles from Silver Cresk, his starting Toilet in the lexemile tramp, ho had but nine miles to make, and 2 hours- and 7 minutes to make it in—an average of lees than 3 miles an hour. Ho had frequently averaged 4.X.474 and even more than 5 miles an hour for hours together, and when he reached Conneaut, was in that-rate condition and fine spirits. lite failure to continue the trial from Conneaut cannot be accounted for, except on the mound that he was not hie own master , but was entirely under the guidance and control of his attendants, for the prevailing opinion is that Weston is an honest man. He remained at Conneaut over Sunday, Nov. 17, and on Monday. 18, at dawn, started for Painesville, 42 Mike away. This point lie reached at 1 o'clock P. M. Here he dined, and then re gamed his tramp. He entered the Forest City ,at mid night, 'XI miles further on, and took his departure again at 2.30 o'clock on the afternoon of the 19th. Ile had .a very enthusiastic reception in Cleveland. At Fremont, on the list, the crowd pressed upon him so closely that it was feared he wouldsustain serious injury, bat the po lice succeeded in keeping them off. Whether .hey in tended personal injury or the rush was merely the result. of the excitement which _ prevailed, la a mooted question. Weston reached Toledo at 2A. M. on the 22d. and alter a rest of 12 hours started again to attempt, tho fourth time, the feat of walking 100 nffies in 24 hours, be tween that point and Bryan, Ohio. He made Stryker, 'ethic, 60 mike from Toledo. at 2.20, o'clock, A.. M, on the 23d, again abandoning the 100-mile feat. Ile left again at noon, arriving at Edgerton about 5.80 'o'clock, stop ping there for se, leaving again at 1.86, and reaching 11 Waterloo at where , he stopped until the 26th. Ho . started again on, onday,Mith, on his fifth and last at tempt to accomplish the 100-mile feat. At 9 o'clock that uigut ho was at Bouth Bend, Indiana, having made 86 - miles in M hours, anel having but 14 miles to make In three hours. Here heatepped, and his fifth attempt, like all the others, was e. miserable failure. ' Hie excuse for the last failure is that Indiana miles are longer than those marked off Mother States and hereon/plains very bit terly of the fact that on the 2.6 th of November he walked at least ten miles more than he is credited with. Oa Tues day, the 26th, he started to finish his walk, 1,2373. miles, of a high he had then only 62,56 to make. At bA.M. of the 27th he. left Laporte, Indiana, and at 11 passed Calu met, 22 miles) distant. He then had but 12)6•Wles to wale. and 26 hours to spare. WESTON ItYAOIIBB 01110 AGO—SOME. Ol Hilt EIPEAIRNOLL CHICAGO. Nov. 28.—Weston reached Chicago this morn ing at 10 o'clock, and has won his wager. The excite ment on his arrival was intense. For mites out from the city the roads were thronged all the morning with people anxioue to greet the young pedeen ban, and the streets through which he passed to reach the Sherman House, where he now is, were packed with people. The ,police had some difficulty in making a nu for him, the crowd were so impatient to give him a welcome; but he was finally escorted to his room at the Sherman House in safety. He says that the attempt to walk 100 miles, start lug from Silver Creek, failed because his feet were badly swollen. lie reached Conneaut. 91 miles, in' good condi. lion otherwise, and asserts positively that he could have made the remaining nine miles in the 2 hours 37 minutes left, hut that hie attendants would not follow him to start. They argued that a continuation of the tramp on badly blistered feet would jeopardize the final result-. and ho thinks' they were right. On the second attempt, [darting from , Toledo, he walked 65 miles in 11 hours 10 minutes, This brought him to Stryker, Ohio, which he had been informed was' only 42 miles ' from Toledo. On making inquiries he became satisfied Ithat still greater discrepancies existed betiveen the figures on his carefully prepared time-table and those furnished him by intelligent residents of the places through which he palli d. He will publish a full state ment in a - few days. regard to the last trial, from Waterloo to South Hen d, Indiana, eighty-six miles, he eayelbat the whole journey, from beginning to cad, was made in rain „and, fog, and over the worst roads he lies:, veer traveled.
