Nearly, /gay-year:a hiter; (in Jima, 18140 when the elder' STSPIIMMON was confessedly one of the greatest Men in' Eriglend, ho declared in a speech ,at the opening of the Newcastle and Darlington Railway; "In the earlier part of my earenr,, when. Ronsari, was a little, boy, I saw how deficient I was in education; and I made feif mind That he:should not labor under the softie, defect, huttliat I Would put him to a good school, and give him a liberal training.

Hiatlrst Instruction was at the village of Long gentert, W:here Rtrrimi, the parish clerk, kept as school, end, taught the primer and gc pot 'and hangers., Thence, in 1814, the lad .was - transferred' to Bea ms's academy to Newcastle,' where he commenced a course of sound, elementari education . When, he 'got into is teeing, his father paid three guineas a year to',inake him a Member of the naveastle philosophical Ireititution, in which be studied a great deal,. bringing home to his father's house, on SaturdaY afternoons, a volume of the Repertory. of Arts and Sciences, or of the Edinburgh ' Encyclopedia, which supplied subjects -for father and son to discuss and examine during the evening hours. , His father insisted on his learning to read - the plans and r draivingsin a book,,without referring to the written descriptions. Thus he acquired the. facility; very,useful in after days, of reading druwing.ea easily as he'would read the page of a book—of immediately apprehending the de jails, of the most difficult and complicated mechanical drawing,: After remaining three years at Bancit'e gChOelj ROB*RT STSPIIENBOI4; then in his 15th .year, was ;put - apprentice to Mr. NiCHOI,AB 114Rn' ontillingwortb, tolearn 'the business of, a colliery, and, In the three years he served with him, as under-viewer in the West Moor Pit; became thoroughly. acquainted with all departments of underground work. In the evening, be and his father studied together--r -rchiefly deiroting-themselvee to the construc tion and deyelopment of the locomotive en gine. `ln 1820, determined to make him a scientific 'and practical engineer, his father tookbint away,from the colliery, and sent him to Edteburgh University, where,he remained, a, most laborious student for six months,— chiefly "in' chemistry, geology, mineralogy arid natural philosophy. Re returned home in the suininer,of 1821, bringing with him the Prize for, mathematics which he had gained at the University. :Under his father, who was ' now partner in, a foundry and locomotive-engine factory, Ro-' HEST. STpIin.WOON commenced the practical .work of engineering, and his exact scientific knowledge undoubtedly was of great use here. In 1824, however, his health was tailing, from over-work of mind 'and' body, and his father 'sent him to South 'America, chiefly for change ellinete,t6 superintend some mining opera tipnii in Columbia.. On his return, in 1827, he found 'Die: Stockton and Darlington Railway, which ho 'beat assisted" to construct, in full work, and his father's locomotives 'success fully running on it. The meccas of this railway led to 'the for mation of the line between Liverpool' and Man- Chester, in. the difficulties and triumphs of - which lie Wei aide b - r dit.Wia---f;aher, and prize of .£5OO, offered_ foe the best le cometive. He had previously constructed the line between Leicester and Swannington, o`n,the completion of which, in 1883; he com mended the London 'and Birmingham Rail way, which he' completed in 1888. Thence forward, he bad as much occupation as lie could attend to, and may be said to have con streicied' the' whole of the London and*North western Railroad, to which, as well as to the Midland, Eastern, and other 'great lines, be was engineer-in -chief to the Utile ,of his death— . , Ile invented numerous improvements in the locomotive engine, and also the tubular or beam bridge ferrailwaysthe English exam ples Of Which'arti at Conway and Menai. The Victoria Minder bridge, over the St. Lawrence, near Montreal, was also his design. He was consulted, en.railways in Belgium, Norway, Italy, and Switzerland, and constructed the railway between Cairo and Alexandria, in Egypt..

He . wrote two books—on Locomotives, which he assisted to invent, and pn atmospheric Railways, which, ho considered unsafe and over - costly, if not actually impracticable. He Wrote the 'article on iron 'Bridges; in the En cyclopedia Britannica. He was emphatically the ehaMplon and inventor of the Narrow Gauge, on railways, (which generally prevails L . tr!!igland), as Mr. Batmen was of the Broad 'Gauge, which, has made the Great Western Railway (Bristol to London) the most com fortable and the most pare for travellers, and the least remunerative for the proprietors.' In 1847, at the General Election, Mr. STE reemsos waa.returned to Parliament, without opposition, for tho borough of Whitby, in _Yorkshire, and was re-elected in 1852, 1857, and 1868. Ho was a liberal Conservative, and voted with the Derby-Diamelite party. He Seldom spoke in Parliament, though he was en easy, sensible speaker, without letting up the slightest Pretensions to oratory. In 1829 he married Miss Faixoss BANDER. kW, of London.

On the contrary, should the Charleston Conven tion nominate a man on whom both DemoOratio factions can harmonise, the November election in 1860 will tell a different tale from what the ono *toner has told 4?

THE PRESS.-PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1859. The, Perplexity of Portland. Portland is by this time In despair. The embracing arms of 116,1u:cher are ;Widowed. Lamentatioua resound through its temples and ita Palacca r 'and, its Inhabitants_ are clothed in tack-cloth and inidieti. Vie Great Saatern, ac cording to thelatest instead of gladdening the people of Maine with her huge human freight this tell, will remain snugly housed on the other aide of the Atlantic until next year. It is a serious disappointment to a host when even one guest hills to appear at the carefully concerted dinner; but when six thousand guests fall t?' keep their appointment, the crime, against hospitality becomes colossal. Portland was bent upon the most splendid hospitalities: Courteous and gentlemanly pro prietors of hotels, tardy in erection, hastened, under the stitnuluoof the promised influx of guests, to complete their hospitable mansions, and had already, calculated tho profits to be derived from thOlr disinterested bounty. En thusiastic grocery-store keepers had invested their savings, the result of twenty years' sur reptitious, lade of forbidden fruits; in vast quan tities of variegated alcohols, to the distraction of Mr. NEAL Dow, whose reason totters on' its throne in consequence of unavailing guests in search of such Illicit articles. Enterprising managers had secured all the " ' available talent," refurbished their dress circles, and broken themselves in paint, canvas, and Dutch metal. Lodging-house keepers, who only vaguely knew that a big ship full of foreigners was coming, and whose geographical know ledge was not 'precise, put cards in their win dows announcing that !, ici oa perle Francais:" Daughters (marriageable) had new dresses from New York, and sons (marrying) sent their measures to WEIDENFELDT. In short, Portland scrubbed and scoured and washed and dressed itself, for it was going to see "company." • But, alas I "the company" is not coming. The Great Eastern, like a great sulky brute that she is, nestles Into a quiet English harbor, and says that she'll be blowed (as she has been already) if she'll cross the Atlantic ocean in winter. The daughters of Portland sit by the waters of their harbor and weep. The gentle- manly hotel-keepers wander wildly through their a best apartments." The grocery-store enthusiasts weep in their secret cellars, and gaze sadly on the untapped barrels of fictitious rum. Let us drop a tear over the miseries of Portland, and sympathise with Mr. Dow in this his hour of agony. Crr The Barks county Democrat, a weekly paper, conducted by ADNOLISON & CO., at Reading, Ps., with great ability, raises the name of STEPHEN A. COMMAS, for President, in its last number, and says : "But itis not alone bevitts a we believe the posi tion of Senator Douglas on this important and ab• Aerbing question qf the day as correct, and that its adoption will furnish the true weapon for cutting the Gordian knot of dowel , extonsfee, that we fa-. vor his aspirations for the Presidency. Ms long public services, his extensive experience and un doubted ability, his remarkable industry, strict in tegrity and perfect knowledge of the affairs of the Government, place him in the first rank of Ameri can statesmen, while his faithful adherence to the established principles of the Democratic) party, and his manly courage in defending them, even at the certain risk of placing himself in antagonism to the present Federal Administration, have won the ap plause and admiration of the true men of all par ties, and made his name / the watchword of future success. Letter from isOceastonaL” Correspondence of The Prem.] • WASTIINGTON, Ootober 25, 1859 At the present time, when a deal of speculation is going on in regard to the organization of the next House of Representatives, my mind goes back to the exciting struggle for Speaker which took place in the same body in 1855-56, end which resulted, after more than two months balloting and battling, in the election of Nathaniel P.

Ile who studios the British Parliament, I ems told, finds the old members retaining their places for many years, while, as you will perceive, in this country a very little time produces singular trans formations. Tho leader of to-day is the follower of to-morrow; and ho who served in the ranks is, in the course of living events, frequently pushed for ward into the advance. The effort to choose a Speaker In 1855.10 was productive of some strange combinations. At the present day, when you are charged with affiliating with the Republicans, it is profitable to refer to some of these combinations. The Americans, you will recollect, held the balance of power, and, if they had thrown their votes for the Democratic candidate for Speaker, would hare elected him; but the Democrats opened the eampaign by a denunciation of the American party, and the latter could not es-operate with them until this denunciation was recalled. Your Henry M . Fuller made quite a national . record during his can. Macy for Speaker as the American candidate, and not a fewer those who are now so ready toes!! the popular-sovereignty Democrats 1, Blank Republi cans," and all that sort of thing, were quite ready to vote for Fuller, onalgre his known devotion to the American party. Some very amusing scenes took place in moms. queue of this disposition, on the part of a number of the Southern Democrats, and I believe that no thing prevented such a fusion as would have re sulted in Mr. Fuller's election, or in the election of a Democrat acceptable to the Americans—on a sort of a William J. Browne pledge to the latter— but the bold and opportune speech of Howell Cobb, who rose one fine morning and declared against the attempt. It has been my duty lately to cen sure the Secretary for some of his tergiversation!' in politico, particularly for his desertion of hir pledges in 1850, and liglves me sineare plemiure to speak of this effort . s eminently - statesman:alio and eloquent. ' - The questioning "ti the " candidates -on the various issues ,was almost dramatic affair. I eau gee the gallant Riohardson replying to the interrogatories put to hint, and well remember the tine, manly appearance of Mr. Banks, as he came forward and gave hie opinions; as well With the easy, off-hand rejoinders of Henry M. Fuller. Mr. Richardson, you will recollect, received the votes of the Deinooratio members, for a long period, for Speaker, and as the South was largoly in the ma jority ~fri the part] in the Mouse at that time, ble anewor to the questions may be accepted at: the Southern platform, inasmuch as ho afterwards re ceived the full vole of the Southern Democracy. .1 shall paver forget the delight which shone upon the faces of the Southern Democrats as gallant old "Dick" expresso:l his views. Let rao give yOu the Imain points: QUESTION PROPOUNDED RV RR. 7,OI,LICOVVER TO UR. "Am I r i g ht in eueposian that the gentleman trom Illinois ( Mr. Richardson) regards the Kaaaas•Nebreska bill as promotive of the formation °flue States in th e Territories of Kansas and Nebraska r" Mr. Richardson.—ln reply to the first question of the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Zollicoffer), I have to say I voted for the bills organizing the Territories of Nebraska and Kansas because I thou ht them lent to all, and I defended that vote before tor conetitunnte noon that ground. I intended then. and I intend now, that the people wile) 00 Ti ERN, or who hare state there, shall Ilea& the 5111eSti00 of sfarero for themselves, and, so far as I could, admit them as Staten, with or Without sla very, as the people should decide. In common with Northern and Southern perillemen, I have said that, in my opinion, eleven would never go there; but I have never, here or eleewhere, urged that at a reason why I voted for that bill. I voted for the bill be. cause it was Just, right. and . proper, and wanted nothing more to defend myself. I repeat here an argument that I have made over and over again before my constituents, and it is this t a majority of the PcoPlo of Kansas or Nebiaska art in favor of slavery. they wilt have it ; if a majority are opposed to It, then they will not have it. This is the practioal result of every theory advocated by the friends of the Nebraska and Kansas bill. J save my sanction to this principle in suPPorting the Territorial bilis of WO, and have um.' formly supported the lame ptinaiple since, whenever Presented for my Cotton, and shall continue to do so In all future eases that may arise. It ft a principle lying at the foundation ef ail popular governments, that the people of each separate or distinct community 'halide: Bide for themselves the nature and character of the in stitutions under which they shalt live, and by this prin ciple! am prepared to live and die; I therefore voted for the Nebraska awl Kansas bill neither as a pro slavery nor anti-slavery measure, but 'as a measure of equal right and justice to the movie af alt sections of our common country. The Constitution does not, in me opinion, carry the institutions of any of the States into the Territories, but it tarot& tho mama protection there to the Ninths tione of one State ao oranothor. The Mixon of Vir ginia is as much entitled, in tho' common Territory, to the protection of his properly tinder !lie Constitution, air the citizen of Illinois; but both are dependent upon the legislation of the 7erritorial Government for laws to protect their properly, of whatever kind it May be. Thus, it will be seen taitt, though there snap be Win the point a difference theoretically—involving oueotione for Judicial decision—yet there to none, piaCtioally, • among the friends of non Intervention by COIIKTOIII, as the practical roselt is to plane the decision of the OW Eons in the hands of those who are most deeply inte rested in its solution—name/li, the people (11" She Terri gorY, who have made it their home, and whose interests are most deeply involved in the diameter of the insti- • . • tilting under whioh they are to live. If title 'great principle of non-intervention and self-government is wrong, Om Indeed, the American Revolution was fought in vain,and It is three we MA •....... t" memory of the patrlotio dead, who parasite& with their fortunes and blood, the free institution' of the noveral separate, independent, and coequal Staten, forming the Union under whiolt we hero so prospe rously and happily grown to be 40 great." Yon will recollect that this debate took place on the 12th of January, lebt), in view of the whole oountry, alertly before Mr. Buchanan returned from England, and when the Democratic party were preparing for the Presidential campaign; and on the very next ballot for Speaker, after Mr Richardson had announced doctrines which are now declared to be heretical by Mr. Buchanan himself, he received the entire support of the Southern members, including Mr. Keitt, Mr. Orr, General Quitman, the whole Virginia delegation, and all the so•ealled fire-eaters!" It is true, there was some dissent on the part of General Quitman, Mr. Milleon, Mr. Keltt, and . a few others, but they voted for Mr. Richardson, notwithstand ing. At a Democratic (mucus held after Richard eon's speech, which was a sort of love..foast, the I lamented Colonel Thomas L. Harris, of Illinois— whom we all reverence for his subsequent steady devotion to the great truth as enunciated by Mr. Richardson, above quoted—appealed to General Quitman—under whom Harris and Richardson had both served in Mexico—to give up hie objections to the latter, when the veteran was conquered, and surrendered at discretion. OCCASIONAL. Late and Interesting Letter from Cali [Correspondence of The Prese.) Sett Fit.telooteo, October 3, 1859 You, of course, have lied, by this time, a coro• plete account of our disaster, ending with the death of our great loader. We could have fronted all but the last. There is unman to take Broderiek's plane. Now that bole gone, we appreciate his loss, in cow. paring him with ourselves. Now only do the people who allowed themselves to be duped into support ing the Administration ticket estimate the import' anon of a single true-hearted,' upright, unselfish. Cita; tilnWelf. H s whole soul seemed to be filled with an' 'tritium) anxiety to help California, and to save the threat ened principles of our party. Broderick bad many thence' to be rich. Ile was rich prior to the panic, and he did net die poor; but ho had a contempt for mere money, and would have bankrupted himself to save a friend or a principle. Ile was a bitter man, but be had been made hitter by the relentless warfare which bad been conducted against him. Prom the moment he set foot on our shores he became an object of hatred to a sort of social aristocracy, and when ho aspired to the Senatorship they dis paraged his pretensions, and only when he became powerful did they yield to his character, and bog god from him positions which, when his noble nature granted, they only received that they might betray him. When he get the Senatorship at last, and responded to the appeals of the warm friends of Mr. Buchanan in this State—the old residents from Pennsylvania, headed by Joe lifelfibbin— he wont to Washington, with the Senatorial honors he had fought for so long, to find another disappointment—first, in the heart less suspieloss of Mr. Buchanan, alli after wards in his deliberate treachery. When he came back to no from Washington, though he wee filled with devotion to the great doctrine of popular Sovereignty, we all saw that his faith in politicians had departed, and that he felt be woe a " marked man "—doomed to die. Do you yonder, then, that he should become bitter? That when he saw men whom he had elevated, or helped to elevate to omen, turning around upon him and assailing him simply because be was true to prinel. pie, he. answered their attacks with vehemence? I have witnessed many oampaigns, but nothing like the ovation extended to Broderick prior to the election of the 7th of September. The people flocked after him, lingering upon the accents thrit tell from Ida lips, and, when he had finished his spettehes. crowded around to lflbk upon his face. It seemed to me as if they had an apprehension that he was about to die, and that they wanted to gaze upon him before he fell a martyr to Demo. create principles. Never In any life have I wit nessed torah homage to the dead as is now being extended in California to Broderick. He was con fidant of 'einem, and so wore all of us; but we had to fight against fearful odds—the custom-house, the mint, the land offices, ports of entry, postmas ters, contractors, Statn officers, and every aspirant for place at Washington, combined in 'a solid wail against, us. A word about Joe Meßibbin before I close. I send you the vote he received for Congress. It is 44,000. The largest Republican vote ever polled in this city was 20,000, which shows that our ex cellent friend has drawn from the regular organi sation, In spite of all disadvantages, over 24.000 votes. This is a great triumph in itself. Math bin's battle has made him ono of the strongest men in the Union. His spseches were able and overwhelming. He spoke like a 'lawyer and a 'gentleman, astonishing friend and foe by his in tellectual resources. I understand that he intends leaving for hie old home by the next steamer, so that he will be with you before the mooting of Con gress.

It wanted a quar t, ter to 0,10 when we left Jackson, on Thursday evening', by the New Orleans, Jackson, and Great Northern Railroad, on our way southward.- It was a•bright', moonlight night, but : we could sop but little of the eountry through which we werinami •lng. • At midnight we stopped at Magnolia, eighty four miles from Jackson, for supper. A largo brick hotel, three stories high, loomed up upon ono aide of the road, but no signs of life were visible about it, and the only provision for supper will klable set out, just on the edge of the track, in the open atr, and lighted by lanterns borrowed from oar train. At daylight we were still an hour's ride from New Orleans, and passing through a swampy district, with a heavy growth of oppress, ash, and gum, with a few oaks, the Spanish moss hanging in long gray bunches from the trees, and a dense cane-break rendering the undergrowth en impas sable thicket. As we got nearer the city, the so. gar plantations took the place of the swamps, and the bright light-green of the sugar cane in large fields, and waving in the sunlight of the early morning, gave us a moat pleasing impression upon I our first view of the growing of another of the great staples of the South. At half past six we reached the "Crescent City," and, with anticipations of soon being able to refrestraud . make ourselves comfortable after the duet and tedium of a night ride, we drove to the celebrated St. Charles hotel. Great was our die appointment, to say the least, to find the place In a state of utter confusion and disorder, in the hands of paintersompor-hangers, and refurnishers, and house-cleaners In general. The attendants wero unjustifiably slow and inattentive, and not over civil or obliging, for which there was not the slightest muse. Due allowance should be made for any unavoidable pressure of circumstances; but - lhasikto a• point beyond which forbearance came to be a virtue. The fact wee, the sea son had' ripened earlier than usual, and the whole feeNstg and tone about the hotel was ono of oontinnefintrusion or expression of the question, " What business bad you to come so early ?" In the winter there may be a better state of things in the rattnapment, but attention and civility ought alwayelebe tound at a hotel which claims to bo first-ohms. We had intended to remain in New Orleans all day, and taking the railroad for Ber wick's Bay in the morning, and from thence ensiled the Gulf of Mexico, to Galveston in the steamer, and Oleos made our way into Texas. The Now OrXestiso morning papers, however, contained such unfavorable news of the presence of the yel low fever at Galveston and Houston that wo con cluded not to run the rick; but to take the land route through the Interior by the way of Red river. The weather at New Orleans was oppres sively warp, and for the few hours we had to re main there; we thought it better to rest, rather than over-exert ourselves in attempting to s-e the objects of interest in and about the city, especially as we should have a better opportunity upon our At fire in the afternoon, punotual to the ravel tisement, (for In leaving New Orleans the boats are generally very punctual, contrary to their austere in leaving the ports above for down the river,) we left in the steamer Belfast, of the Memphis and Ohio line—oeptain, Wm. Wray; clerk, Edward Booker—for Red River Lending. It was a charm* leg afternoon, and the fresh breeze down the river as we pushed off was peculiarly grateful after the close, sultry atmosphere of the city. We had but little freight and few passengers, and our speed was all the greater. The view of the city from the river is a tine one—the broad levee covered with freight, and, fill of active bustle, stretching for miles along the bend of the river—tiers' of vessels and steamboate, sometimes two and three deep, lying close in shore; and the blocks of fine ware houses and stores fronting the levee. Opposite the city Is the suburb called Algiers; and above, on both aides of the river, the sugar plantations ex tend for miles. The sugar houses, with their tall white chimneys, the extensive fields of sugar cane, the pleasant and elegant mansions of the planters, surrounded with groves of orange and banana, and the neat groups of negro cabins, all interest and at tract the stranger, . We passed Baton 'Rouge during the night, and at eight o'clock this morning were at Port Hudson, one hundred and sixty-four miles above New Or leans. The day was hazy, and we had some little rain. On the way up we raw the operation of taking in a 'supply of wood. The steamboat ran close Into a wood-yard on the bank, and taking a wood-flat, holding thirty or forty cords of wood, in tow, one , l44liaph guard forward,. steamed away up stream 'latent stopping her course, while the deck hands.went to work to pitch the wood off from the flats: When it was all shifted on hoard the steamboat, tbsi flab; were east loose to drift back to the wood-y*4'4'l)4er (large of their crews, con sistineof twe'r , three tepees each.

Going down stream, a boat is obliged to rowed and land at the wood-yard, end the wood is carried on board by the hands. If a boat Umber guards pretty well laden with cotton, the delay in wooding is considerable. The bitumi nous coal is oleo used for fuel, and loaded very mush tithe rams way. At half past ono to-day we were landed at this Interesting point, which presents some vaulter but by no means inviting peculiarities. The Red river of the South, after pursuing its way from its source in theeltooky mountains for some fifteen hundred miles, empties Into the Mississippi some six miles above here. The Mississippi, however, formerly ran in a eirettitons course round from where the Red river joins it to this point, but come years since a cut off was made for the Mississippi across the nook of the carve, shortening the distame by many miles; but the most direct course to the Red river, fur those who come up from New Orleans, Is by the old channel. We are exactly upon the thirty-first degree of north latitude, and opposite the southern lino of Mississippi, whore it is bounded by Loui siana. The scenery is very tame and uninterest ing; a leer sand-point or bar, formed by the depo sits of the river, runs out for seine distance into the stream, and below this bar a short distance, where the water is deep enough to admit the steamboats to come, In to the bank, id Reel River Lauding. The only hotel in the place Is the wharf-boat, perched high and dry upon the hank, some forty feet above the edge of the water. The wharf-boat is nothing more than the hull and cabin of an old steamboat, her bolleis and machinery taken out, and her wheels taken off. The state-rooms afford ;looping accommodations, while the cabin makes a spacious, if not elegant, dining-room. Her proper place Is floating in the water and moored to the bank, so as to afford facilities fur landing passengers and freight; but she had got to be so old and leaky, that, taking advantage of a high fined, her proprie tor floated her up bore and moored her in this etc 'Wed position. The comforts to be obtained may be better imagined than described. I send you some of tl e ” ru'es of the boat : " let,No one will be permitted to sit at the table with his coal MI; :id, , ,No shooting of fire-acme wit. be allowed en board the boat; 4th, No eard-plar log will be allowed in this cabin, under no con sideration. Other rules provide that gentlemen may play cords for amusement in the bar-room, brit that no grouhlieg will bo allowed anywhere on the boat. The price of board and lodging is two delidre - per slay, and yet we have not seen a parti cle of butter at any of the meals, although several boats is day laud here on their way to and from New Orleans. But people who are obliged to stop at the landing have no other house to go to, and etwilcquently enjoy the usual fruits of a atrial mo impiety. i The only other buildings, besides the whartboat, are two or three dwellings and the store, in ono corpse of which is the pout office. There seemed -to Ito a large and general assortment of goods in ' the,store, and "F. Brown's Essence of Jamaica Ginger" was a familiar sign to our eyes. The elsire Is cipon on Sundnya the IMMO so on other daps; and the' business Is, if anything, rather more brisk. There is no church within fourteen miles, and Sun day would seem to ho a leisure day for people to come down to the store from the Interior to make their purchases. Cotton plantations are to be found foi;eonie distance up - the Red river, and we noticed several largo fields in the immediate neighborhood of the landing About a mile from the wharf-boat, and outside the ItrVil ill is As thrown up to protect the country from the si t i ;Ines of the river, is a large lagoon or lake, of a most wild and picturesque appearance. The shores of the lagoon are low and marshy, and the dead stumps of tiers rise above the surface of i the water, some bare and naked in gaunt rudeness, and others covered with the graceful festoons of ems trailing forest viue. Large cottonwood, gum, ash. and cypress trees, with an occasional oak, the lotig trailing bunches of Spanish moss banging from their bromine, make up the surrounding forest. Flocks of large white manes stand In solemn array, leg deep in the water, or sweep, with long, steady stroke of the wing, smogs its surface. 1 1 Now red then a blue crane can be seen, perched solitary and alone upon the top of saute dead stump, or, disturbed from Isle mediations, winging away whit, a hoarse scream. Numbers of ducks are to be found, and an occasional water-hen adds to the variety of the waterfowl. Overhead, the blue-jay and mooking-bird, with other feathered songsters, keep up Is lively concert, and the tap of the woodpeeker'e bit mingles with the chorus. We looked to Pee an alligator or two, but it is almost too far north for the scaly reptiles. 15'e noticed, in a a 'Mary spot, outside the levee, and, of course, eubjeet to overflow in high water, a cluster of A few rude graves, unmarked by any e:one, with simply a rude board, a few Inches high, to nitwit the head mud foot, but destitute of insert!) , tion or other distinguishing mark.

In another part of the Parit r a seedy but confident individual, somewhat of flue Minew ber sort, was declaiming on temperance, and quo ting poetry. In another, a great crowd of free and independent citizens were gathered about a couple of steam-fire engines, inspecting them with curious scrutiny. All this in the City Hall Park alone. Other places of popular resort in other parts of the city, as high up and including Central Park, were thronged by the overworked part of our population, while in the evening the Bowery was all agog with Teutons; the "sacred concern," and gardens filled with men, women, and children in arms, all sla king themselves, even the babies, with later, and listening to German plays. German songs, German waltzes, and German everything. It's getting to be a lively town, this, and not over given to piety on the first day of the week. A wonderful boy is Barney Williams, and 'a wonderful fellow Is big wife. During last week the receipts from their performances at Nib to's reached nearly eight thousand dollars, and last evening the house was as crowded as aver. Both are somewhat toned down, more artistic, and in several respects more attractive th an befo re their trip abroad. To-morrow morning Mr. Lowe commences in flating his aerial ship to Reservcir Square. In tee centre of the square a tent, shaped and In size like a circus tent, has been pitched, under which tie blowing up will be commenced. The basket, which is to become the chiding place, for a time, of the bold voyagers, le made of strongly-woven wicker-work, about two inches thick, the ropes that attach it to the balloon being woven into the sides, which are about four feel high. Tbe basket is six feet in diameter. and in the centre of its flooring there Is a circular aperture, large enough to admit a man's body, and intended to afford, by means of a ladder, an mope, Illness. eery, to the boat that will be suspended beneath. This boat is thirty feet long, and provided with a enteric engine and paddle wheels. The gte neceagary for the inflation of the balloon will be provided by the Manhattan Gas Company, who are laying pipes for the purpose, connecting wi th gust in Forty-second street.

The men who constitute the great community of gabbers, and are the life and soul of the saloons, ten-pin alleys, livery atablea, club rooms, Lc., of New York, had a windfall yesterday, la the pub lication of a bellicose oorrespondenoe between Lieut. Bartlett, father of Madame Oviedo, and Mr. Stedman, the gentleman who perpetrated some poetical fannimeots in the Tribune, on the grand marital rub-a-dub that - took place a fortnight since, at St. Pa'riek's Cathedral. The eangulrary Bart lett, deeming his feelings to have been lacerated by the poem aforesaid, came to the conolunion to do something with the malefactor Stedman, and thereupon sent him a eonstruotive chal lenge, which the terrible Stedman proposed to accept; whereupon the marine warrior crawfished, wrote something about the disgusting Stedman's boing his Fooled inferior, and, instead of a duel, threatened docments. The second of the injured Bartlett declined any intercourse with the men of the law, and left his principal to parate the matter in the Common Pleas thus furnishing another in stance of the truthfulness of Mr. Webster's famous sentenoe, that "the vigor and success of the war seldom comes up to the pomp of the manifesto." LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. The new, In a leader on the position of affairs In British Columbia, feels sure that the British Government will respond to America's replacing Barney by General Scott with corresponding ceur tesy, and the result will no doubt be the peaceable settlement of a question which has been made d au prone to two great nations by the wrangheaded rtess and folly of a few men.

MONETARY YROSPIETS.--The India Council have about .£2,000,000 on hand, which they are de sirous of putting out at two per cent. for a month or two; at the same time it seems likely that the gold receipts from New York will continue on a large wale; while from Australia the sum an nounced on Its way is nearly 11,000,000, of whioh about £312,000 is overdue. From Russia, also, gold, or produce equivalent to gold, must still be expected ; since the paper currency Is yet at a dis count of nearly 10 per oent. It appears, thereto, e that unless there should be some decided revival in the Eastern demand, increased abundance must be expected during the next few weeks; and as it is hardly to be supposed that trLthe present state of Europe console con go much beyond their pre sent price, it will be interesting to watch the course the public will pursue to find suitable channels fur their accumulations.—Timer.

Mr. Cayley is greatly alarmed at the policy of Louis Napoleon, and he urges that they ought to spend Immense sums of money in prepa ring England for "any contingency," and the ride clubs should be formed all over the country like " cricket elevens." The Times' Paris correspondent repeats that the relations between the English aed French Govdru• meets have become more cordial, owing probably to King Leopold's visit to Biarritz, and states that within the last fortnight there has been considera ble Increase of harmony and good understanding between the two Cabinets.
