WARE, which is now unusually large, affording a va
riety of pattern and design unsurpassed by any house
the United States, and of finer Quality than is manufac

Our Standard of Silver is 935-1000 parts pare
The English 5t0r1ing,.......925*1000 “
American and Erenoh 900*1000 “
Thus it willbe seen that we give thirty-fiyo parts purei
than the Amerioau and Frenoh ooin, and ten parts purer
than the English Sterling. We melt all our own Silver,
and our Foreman being connected with the Refining De
partment of the United States Mint for several years, we
guarantee the Quality as above (935), which is the/next
that can be made to be serviceable, and will resist the

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1859,
Newstead Abbey*
It was a groat blow to Lord Byron's prido
when ho was compollcd, in order jto pay his
debts, to sell Nowstead Abbey to hia old
Bchool-feliow Colonel Wildman. "Wo find tho
following in one of our exchange papers;
u It is reported that tho venerable and classic pile
at Nowgtoitd, tho rcsidonce of tho late Colonel Wild
man, togothor with thu estate, exceeding 3,oooacres
in extent, will shortly bebrought to tho batomer in
ono lot. Tho Into lamented owner of Newsteod
purchased tho catato in IBIS for X9I,QOd, and since
that period vory largo sums ot motieV have been
expended in improving it, so that, imUpendent of
tho great incrcaso which has taken place in tho
vttluo of landed property during the lasj fow years,
thcro is evory ronßon to expect that it trill fotoh a
vory high prico. Tho connection, of Byron with
this charming rural rotroat will also, no doubt, act
as an additional attraction to purchasers- It ia
said ‘that the late Colonel Wlldtudn baa left tho
whole of his real and personal property to hia
widow for lifo, vrith remainder tohis brothers.”
Thcro scorns to bo a mistake hero} as to tho
y>rioe. In 1812, Byron wrote to bla.Jricpd,
William Banklb thatNewstcnfl Kfldbeen sold,
by auction, at Garroway’s (in London) for
X 1-10,000—sixty thousand pounds to remain
on on tho estate for three yoars,
paying interest. However, it was not sold at
tho time, only £90,000 having been offered for
it. It was subsequently sold to Mr. Clauoii
ton, for <£l-10,000, his principal being Chandos
Lliou, of Stoncleigh Abbey. The purchaser
out. Newetcad returned to Byron.
(Saugbton forfeited, and actually paid over
£25,000, which Byhon received, writing
to Mookk, at the same time, “ that don’t
prevent me from being very prettily ruined.”
It was finally sold, when Byron was in
Italy, to Colonel Wildman, who is said to have
expended £OO,OOO additional upon restoring
and improving it. The tall tower at tho right,
as you stand with your back to tho Luke, was
an entire addition of 'Wildman’s— not quite in
accordance with the architecture of tho main
building. But tho general good taste ho ex
hibited has been much admired. It was By
ron’s solo consolation, when parting with
Ncwfilead, that it passed into the hands of his
old and attached fcliow-Hnrrovian.
Scarcely any feeling in ins mind was
stronger than a liking and lovo for Nowstead.
It had been a long time in his family, and they
were proud of it. Originally a priory, founded
by llknry 11, Ncwstead was especially fa
vored by successive mouarebs, uniil on the
dissolution of tho monasteries by Henry VIII,
tho church, priory, and lands of Nowstead
were granted to tho Byron family, who previ
ously had possessed much contiguous property,
RaApii i>e Buiu’n being noted, bi Doomsday
Book, among tho tenants of land in Hotting,
hatnshire, and his descendants, under tho title
of Lords of noi'cstan Castle, having estates in
Derbyshire, besides becoming Lords of Roch
dale iu Lancashire. At tho Battlo of Creasy,
where fflo Black Princo won his spurs—at tho
Siege of Calais, under tho Third Edward— and
on tho field of Eoaworth, where Richard of
Glostcr lost empire and life, the Byrons
fought gallantly, and tho grant of Newsteod
by tho crowned son of that Richmond, whom
tho defeat of Closer elevated to tho throne,
was but a grateful recompense to tho grand
nephew of Sir John Byron, who had battled
bravely for tho cause and by tho side of the
first King of tho line of Tudor.
In a letter to his mother, in March, 1809,
written while English Barth and Scotch Re
viewers was going through tho press, Byron
thus expressed himself;. “ iyimLyiui_Najt-.ui.oJi
yery true.' Come what'may, Nowstead and I
"stand or fall together. I havo now lived on
tho spot. I havo fixed my heart upon it, and
no pressure, present or futuro, shall induce me
to barter tho last vestige of our inheritance.
I have that pride within mo which will enable
mo to support difficulties. I can endure pri
vations j but could I obtain in exchange for
Newstead Abbey thu first fortune in tho coun«
try, I would reject the proposition. I l'eel
liko a man of honor, and I will not sell New
-Btcad.” *
"When tikis waa written, .Byron had boon
only two months of ago and in full possession
of his estates. Six years earlier he had written
tho stanzas On Leaving Nowstead Abbey,
which appeared in Hours of Idleness, and the
Fragment in which, alluding to his ancestors,
ho wished for
'■ No loQfithoncd scroll, no praise encumbored stone.”
and proudly added
“ My epitaph shall l>o my name alone.”
Somewhat later wan the Elegy to Nowstead
Abbey, addressed as «fast-falling, once-re
splcndant dome,” in which he traced tho his
tory of that pile, from its erection by one
Henry, (an ottering to the manes of Thomas
a’ Bucket,) to its donation to tho Byron fa
mily l>y another monarch of that name. This
poem concludes thus hopetully :
“ llaply thy sun, emerging, jet may shine,
Thoo to irrndiato with meridian ray ;
Honrs Rpleudid in the past may still lie thine,
And Moss thy futuro as thy former day.”
Ho did not live to boo it. The restora
tion, by Colonel ‘Wilmun, was not com
pleted until mauy years after Byron’s death.
A somewhat stately description of Nowstead
Abbey is to be found in tho beginning of
Moore’s Life of Byron. A more desultory
account is given in Moore’s own Diary, which
is yet better. In Washington Irving’s Kecol
loctions of Abbotsford and Nowstead Abboy,
in tho Crayon Miscellany, considerable space
is devoted to tho former homo of tho Byron
family. William Ilowur’s Haunts and
Homes of British Poets also contains a graphic
description of Ncwstead. Lastly, Lord Byron
himself devoted several pages in the thirteenth
Canto of Don Juan, to a poetical description
of this family-seat, which there figures as Nor
mpn Abbey. Though this is a somewhat rose
tinted picture, whoever has visited Nowstead
will recognise the general accuracy of detail
and the picturesque beauty and breadth of tho
sketch.
Of Nowstead, as it existed at tho time of
Byron’s taking possession of it, after ho at
tained in his majority, u graphic description v as
written by his friend Charles Skinner Mat
thews, who formed ono of a party of young
college friends, whom, on tho eve of his tour
in foreign lands, Byron had assembled around
him at the Abbey, for a suit of festive farewell.
It is dated London, May i!2d, 1800, and is con
tained in a letter to a lady. It is so fresh ami
vivid that wo extract it here, from Moore’s
Life of Lord Byron :
“ London, May 22, 1809.
“My dear ,
“ I mud begin with giving you a few particu
lars of tho singular plaoo which I havo lately
qulttod.
“ Nowstead Abbey is situate INft miles from Lou
don—four on this side of Mansfield. It is so fine a
piece of antiquity, that I should think thoro must
boa description, and, perhaps, a picture of it in
Grose. The auoestois of its present owner cnino
into possession of it at the time of tho dissolution
of tho monasteries, but tho building itself is of a
much earlier date. Though sadly fullon to decay,
it isatlll completely an übtiey, and moat part of it is
atilt standing in tho same «tnto ns when it was first
built. There aro two tiers of cloisters, with a va
riety of cells and rooms about them, which, though
not inhabited, nor in an inhabitable stato, might
easily bo mmlo so; ami many of thooriginn! rooms,
amongst which is a fino stone hull, aro still In ueo.
Of tho abbey church o.nly one cud remains; and
tho old kitchen, with a long rango of apartments,
is reduced to a heap of rubbish. Loading from
tho abboy to the modern part of tho habitation Is
a noble loom seventy foot in length, and twonty
threo in breadth ; but ovory part of the house dis
plays neglect and decay, save thoso which tho pro
sont Lord Ims lately fitted up.
“ Tho house and gardens aro entirely surrounded
by ft wall with battlements. In front is a large
luko. bordered hero and there with castellated
buildings, tho chief of which stands on an emi
nence at tho further extremity of it. Fancy all
this surrounded with bleak and barren hills, with
scaioo a tree to ho seen for milos, except a solitary
clump or two, and you will havo some idea of Now
stead. For the lato Lord being at enmity with his
son. to whom tho ostato was aocurod by entail, ro
solved out of flpite to iho sarao, that tho estate
should descend to him in as miserable plight as ho
could puf-sibly rcducoit to; for which causo ho took
no enro of tho mansion, and fell to lonpingoff every
treo ho could lay his hands on, so furiously, that ho
reduced immense tracts of woodland country to
tho desolate state I havo just described. How
ever, his son died before him, so that ail his rago
was thrown away.
“ So much for tho place, concerning tfhich I have
thrown togolhor thesp few particulars, meaning
my account to be, like tho plaoo itrelf, without any
older or oonneotion. But if tho plaoo itself anpoar
rather strange to you, tho ways of tho inhabitants
•will not appoar much loss so. Asoend, then, with

to live together; for I found my shivering and in*

that I heartily wished overy soul in the house to

In’tho lake, right in front of Newatcad

tho iitth peer, whom Byron succeeded, n largo
brass eagle, which it was supposed tho Au
gusiino monks had thrown in, for concealment,
when thoir homo was secularized and plun

Interesting Letter from Lancaster.
[Correspondence of Tho Press.]
As things have changed- somewhat in our city
since my last letter to The Press, I concluded to
employ a few hours of tho now lengthening ovc
niogs in writing to yoa of such matters as may
prove interesttng.to your numerous readers. Lan
'C&Ator Hliirucoupica the same geographical bounda
ries which it (lid two years ago, and, although the
hardness of tho times is seriously felt by all, its
oror-busy and industrious population is still going
the rounds of trade and fashion. The appoarance
of business is here, but tho lifo of it has been for
some time past sadly on the wnno. It is a serious
occupation and productive of grave reflections, to
rend tho numerous sheriff’s hand-bills which aro
posted on tho walls And think that so many of our
best men, who, a fow rears ago, were in the full
tide of prosperity, should hare been crushed by
the financial panio brought about by tho rupture
cf tho Lancaster Hank and tho Savings’ Institu
tion. The withdrawal of a million and a half of
dollars from circulation by tboso terrible ruptures,
from among our business men, has wasted the
commercial interests bore to an extant which will
be seriously fait far many years fo come. The loss
of confidence and other combining causes have
thrown & shadow around our business interests,
which will require more than an ordinary sun
sbino to dissipate. There are no buildiugs going
up, and if it wero not far tho crumbling walls and
the clink of hammers on tho site of tho depotabout
to bo erected, wo might fancy that wo Lod fallen
into tho dearth of a perpetual sabbath. Still, we
live in hope, tho only thing whiuhean support man
In tho day of trial. Wo cling to it, “ as the shadow
of a groat rock in arcary land,” in the oxpocta
tion (hat times may change, and Lancaster arise
once more, “ like rhcenix from her ashen,” after
tho end of hor ordeal has been reached.
The doAth of Francis Keenan, Esq., which oc
curred a short tiwo ago, is ono of tho molancholy
facts which wo havo to record. Ho was ono of
those men who only livo once in acentury, endowed
with all thoso nolAo qualities of head and heart
which go to mako up tho perfect gentleman. He
was an attorney, of for moro than ordinary abili
ties, excelling rather as a counsellor than an orator,
yet possessing a large fund of legal knowledge, and
a judgment clear, found, and reliable. His many
kind and social qualities mndo him a universal
favorlto at tho bar; and wo doubt, indeed, whether
it could be said of him that ho had a single enemy
in the world, lie was the nephew of the Hoy. Ber
nard Keenan, so well and favorably known as the
pastor of tho Church of St. Mary of the Assump
tion, in this city, under whoso auspices he was in
terred, and whose namo and character be nevor
once dishonored. “ I'oaco to his ashes.” “After
lifo’s fitful fever ho sloeps woll.”
Thesitooftho Lancaster Railroad depot covers
tho ground formerly occupied by tho excellent hotel
kept by Owon Hopple. Tho telegraph station, in
tho rear of it, has been removed to Reese’s City
Hotol, as well as tho ticket-office of tho Fcnnsyl*
vania Railroad, whoro they will both remain until
after tho depot is completed. This hotel is now
daily thronged with visiters, whero tho accommo
dations aro of such a character as to moot with tho
moat confirmed approval. There is a talk of
erecting another in tho vioinity of tho railroad,
but whothcr this will be done remains to bo ascer
tained. Thoro are already several well-conductcd
hotels in tho vicinity, and, barring a few eating
houses, it appears to us that anything elso would
bo superfluous, and, probably, would prove a
f.iiluro.
Tho Howard Association has Already commenced
its operations for tho reliof of the poor duriDg tho
coming winter. Their demands, no doubt, will bo
great, but, still, they must bo mot. It will not do
in a Christian community, whilo tho cold storms
nro raging, and naturo is sealed up by the icy
finger of death, for tho less-favored amongst us to
hunger or to starve. Tho officers of this institu
tion, and nil who have taken an active part in its
organization, havo full faith, notwithstanding the
hardness of tho times, that they will be able to
carry their philanthropic purposes into entire
effect.
Your agents, Ellas Barr it Co., in East King
Biroot, arc in possession of tho seventh volume of
tho Now Amerioan Cyclopodia, whioh is, without
doubt, one of the groatest books of tho age. They are
prepared now to furnish tho seven volumes to thoir
customers, and thoro soems to bo a very decided
disposition on tho part of tho roading public to
possess themselves of its valuod treasures. It is a,
complete compendium of law, literaturo, science,
ar.d history, so admirably collected, as to bring a
knowiedgo of them all within the powor of evory
man’s Requisition. The Pres, t, too, still pays its
daily visits to their storo, and from thence is dis

city which is sought after with moro than ordinary
avidity; someoftho rest of them, which at ono time
woro popular, havo taken up thoir residence no
where.
Tho Jackson Riflemen of our city havo at length

as secretaries. Thornes E. Gaskin and Franklin-
Mcllvain, having received tho highest number of
votes, were declared elected. In each of said clec

and proclaimed the vote. The Convention then
took up tho subject of contested seats. The

tho committees had the contestants before them,
they reported.’ Five delegates were admitted who
voted* far Richard Vaox, and four delegates were
admitted- who voted for William M. Riley. - The
-Convention then went Into an election for delegate
to the Convention at Harrisburg for the district,
when Riohard Vaux received thirty votes, and Wil
liam M. Riley twenty-three votes. On motion of
Mr. A.. B. Thompson, a Riley delegate, seconded
by John J. Foster, the Riley candidate for presi

unanimous. Cheers were then given for the nomi

There was no disorder, confusion, or any attempt
at violence; on the contrary, godd feeling and
harmony were manifested throughout. There was
no protect, at any time whatever, by Hr. Riley’s
friends, at any of the proceedings; on tho con
trary, many of them came to me after the Conven
tion and congratulated me on the impartial manner
in which the proceedings were conducted; and yet,
the Pennsylvanian says that, but for the acts of
violonce, intimidation, outrage, and fllogal pro
ceedings, another and different remit would have
been achieved. I leave it to the Democratic voters
of tho district to deoide who are the disorganisen.

PERSONAL AND POLITICAL*
The Massachusetts Spy, alluding to the
story told by a Washington letter-writer, to the ef
fect that the Hon. Charles Sumner is “ about to
resign his seat in the Senate, marry a wife, and
taka up his permanent reaittence in England,”
says: “ Tho fellow invented this story. Nobody
told him so. He had no warrant far it. Hr. Sum
ner is now on his way home, and he will probably
be in Boston before the close of the present week.
He is in exceUent.health, and will take hla seat in
the Senate when Congress assembles.”
It is said that Madame Jenny Lind Gold*
eehmidt contemplates returning to the practice of
her profession as a public singer.
Toe Harper’s Ferry Inscrosvts.—On the
10th instant, when the Harper’s Ferry insurgent*
were about to be sentenced, Coppie rose and spoke
thus:
“ The charges that have been made against me
aro not true. I never committed any treason
against the State of Virginia. I never made war
upon it. I never eonspired with anybody to in*
duce your slaves to rebel, and I never even ex*
changed a word with one of your servants. What
I came here for I always told you. It was to'run
off slaves into a free State and liberate them there.
This is an offence against your laws, I admit, but I
never committed murder. When I escaped to the
engine-house, and found the captain and hU pri
soners ear rounded there, I saw no way Cf deliver
ance but by fighting a little. If anybody was
killed ou that occasion, it was in a fair fight. 1
have, as I said, committed an offence against your
laws, but the punishment far that offence would be
very different from what you are going to indict on
mo now. I have no more to say.
When Cook’s turn came, he delivered, in a hesi
tating, nervous manner, a speech, which had pro*
bably been carefully prepared. He said, in sub
stance, that he had not come to commit treason or
murder, but merely in pursuance of orders from
bis commander-in-chief, with a design to liberate
slaves. As to the sword and pistols of George
Washington, taken from Lewis Washington’s house,
he said they were seised by order of Brown,, not
for purposes of robbery, but for the sake of the
moral effect that their possession might afford in
case of a war of liberation. At the conclusion of
bis not very effective speech, Judge Parker pro
nounced sentence of death, in a manner showing
genuine sincerity of emotion and pity. He con
cluded as follows :
“To conclude this sad duty, I now announce
that the sentence of tho law is, that you, and each
ono of you, John E. Cooke, Edwin Coppie, Shields
Green, and John Copeland, be hanged by the neck
until you aro dead; and that execution of this judg
ment be made and done by the sheriff of this
oounty, on Friday, the sixteenth day of December
next—upon you, Shields Green and John Copeland,
between the hoars of eight In the forenoon and
twelve, noon, of that day—and upon you. John E.
Cooko and Edwin Coppie, between the hours of
twelve, noon, and five m tho afternoon of the same
day. And the Court being of opinion that the exe
cution of this sentence Bhould be made public, it Is
further ordered that this judgment bo enforced and
executed, not in the jail-yard, but at such public
place convenient thereto as the said sheriff may
appoint—and may God have mercy upon the soul
of each one of you.”
The prisoners if ere thon remanded. The day
fixed for the execution is the I6lh of December.
There is, however, some reason to believe that the
indictments will not hold together in the Court of
Appeals.
Tub Position or Mr. Pryor.—Tho Lynchburg
(Virginia) Republican, in an article on the elec
tion of Mr. Pryor to Congress from the Fourth dis
trict of Virginia, says:
“He was opposed by Mr. Goode, of Mecklen
burg, an independent Democrat, who was opposed
to conventions, to Douglas, and in favor of Con
gressional intervention in tho Territories. He and
those who supported him have been sorely rebnked
by the popular voice of the people. They have been
defeated on all these propositions. Mr. Pryor ©p-
Eoscd intervention, ami said he would vote for
'ouglas, if nominated, in preference to Seward, or
any Southern Know-Nothing of the Bolts and Bell
Blripo. Tho people have fully endorsed these posi
tions.”
Postponement op the Broderick Obsequies,
Tho New York Sun of yesterday says that ou ae
couut of tho inclement state of the weather on
Sunday, the obsoquies in memory of the late Sena
tor Broderick, of California, were again postponed
till next Sunday. A large number of Californians
assembled on Saturday evening at the Hone House,
corner of Broadway and Great Jones street, for
tho purpose of making arrangements for parti
cipating in tho obsequies on Sunday. The Hou.
J. J. Hoff presided, and Mr. J. M\ Douglass
acted as secretary. No resolutions were passed,
on account of the non-appearance of the gentleman
who had them in chargo. It was deoided to wear
nothing but the usual badge of mourning on the
left arm. During tho meeting, a Mr. Everett, a
gentleman who visited Mr. Broderick a short time
after he received tho pistol shot, made an address.
Thu Cincinnati Times, of Friday evening, says
that the Convention of Railroad Freight Agents,
to arrange winter rates, assembled at the Burnet
House, on Thursday. Thirteen roads were repre
sented at the organization. Letters were read
from the New York Central and Pennsylvania
Central, objecting to a reduction of rates. The
following was the J joint resolution adopted:
~ Resolved , That the subject of difference in rates
by all rail, rail and water, and water, rail and
water, be postponed until December 25, and that a
meeting be called at this time in the city of Balti
more, of representatives of the Eastern and West
ern railroads, to permanently arrange jußt and
equitablo differences in such rates on eastward
bound freight,
A committee was appointed to report n schedule
of ratos, and they finally submitted a report, whioh,
after some discussion, was adopted.
Tho Convention had now About fulfilled its mis
sion, and was on the point of congratulating itself
on tho speedy and happy adoption of a tariff, when
bang! came tho following from tho New York Cen
tral monopoly:
Bpffalo, Thursday, Nov. 10.
E. A. Buck, Esq : Bay to the Convention that
Mr. Hills, nor any one else, is authorized to make
any rates by the Lake Shore Railroad, beyond Erie,
and his rates will not bo carried out without con
sultation with tho owners of the road.
Dean Richmond.
There was a lick back, and what could the Con
vention do but adjourn and consider ? It did that
thing, and the wires were Immediately ladencd
with messages to headquarters, sesking further in
formation.
The Charlestown correspondent of the Baltimore
Atnertean says:
“ Cook states in his confession that he met Capt.
Brown in Kansas some two years ago, and was led
by the representations Of Brown to join his band,
not knowing at the time what would be the field of
thoir operations. After some time had elapsed,
Brown informed Him that the town of Harper’s

FOREIGN NEWS BY THE ASIA.
The Wreck or the Royal Charter.
Br the City of Baltimore «e retired brief «e
-eounte of the wreck of the aonw etauhuhip Royal
Charter, end of the fearful lew of life isralred
therein. We are r.ow fa pouw loa ef rrurhio a*l
oopioue detxtlr of the s*'' try.
Doing driven tow*rut the snore, end as the veter
iru rapidly shoaling, it became necesarr at
about ten o'clock at night, to let go the austere,
guns having been previously fired and rockets di£
charged in the hope of attracting a pilot, bat with*
out success:
The gtle, meantime, increased to a perfect hur
ricane, and, at two o’clock in the morning, the
port-anchor chain parted, and, abort!/ afterwards,
the ship was beating on the rocks, in a place
called Moelfra Bay. rear Puffin Island, on the
coast of Anglesea. The masts were eat a war, bat
without as 7 beneficial remit.
About daylight (six o'clock) a sailor, with a cord
Ued around his went, jumped overboard, and, al
though the sea ran tremendously high, he sae
seeded in reaching and maintaining a flaring on
rocky shore, which was sot more then tea
yards distant from the ship, but was almost per*
pendicolar to the height of forty feet. A hawser
was then got ashore, and a boatswain chair was at
tached to it, with a view of hauling the psawtiaon
and crew on shore. About a doien seamen were,
by this means, soon landed, and it was boned
all on board might be saved. °
At about seven o’clock, however, the waves heat
ing against the ship's broadside with continued vio
lence, she suddenly snapped asunder amidahire and
tumbled in pieces. As the passenger* had anally
kept below, large cumbers were killed by the
trashing debris, and only twenty-six managed to get
ashore, making the whole number saved only thir
ty-nine out of a total {passengers and erew) of 493.
Tho scene was terrible in the extreme. Many
were washed on and off the rocks several times,
and in numerous instances those who thought them
selves secure on jutting rocks were honed back
into the sea by the furious waves.
Not a superior officer was saved, neither a «o
man nor child.
Captain Taylor exerted himself to the utmost,
but waafinally struck cm the head while struggling
in the water, by a boat foiling from the davits, and
was seen no more.
The destruction of the ship was rapid and com
plete, so that "by eight o'clock nothing was visible
but masses of wreck, mingled with bodies of the
dead washed on the strand. The prostration of the
telegraph wires, and the destruction by the sea of
a portion of the Chester and Holyhead Railroad
(which passes the loealiiy.) caused considerable
delay in the reception of rite news at Liverpool,
and a consequent loss of time ic sending tug boats
to the spot. The vessel had oo board (supposed)
79,000 ounces of gold, besides a huge namberof
sovereigns, estimated of the total value of from
£700,000 to £300,000, and hopes were entertained
that this might be recovered by divert.
The Boy at Charter was as iron t nonet of 2,749
tons register, clipper built, and furnished with
auxiliaiy serew engines. She was built in 1865, at
a cost of over £90,000, and was insured for £80,009.
Her general cargo was not very valuable—#rv
£5,000 . 7
Of the persons on board the Royal Charter when
she left Australia sixty-three were cabin pfwn
gers, three hundred and twenty-five other paaeen
gen and one hundred and twentv-thxee erew—
total, fire hundred and eleven. Of these, seven
teen passengers were landed at Queenstown,
and thirty-nine were saved from the wreck!
so that the total loss of iife Among those
reckoned as crew were eleven riggers who were
transferred from a tug-boat to the Royal Charter
in the Channel for conveyance to Liverpool.
Insurances were being effected at Lloyd's on the
bullion at twenty-five per cent, ’premium.

INTERESTING ACCOITXT OF THE VISIT OF YISISTE&
WARD TO PSKIX.
The North China Herald contains an interesting
letter in regard to the movements of the American
minister, and the ratification of the treaty. The
following are extracts:
Srancrae, Aug. 22,1859.
The United States steam-frigate Powhatan, har
ing on board John E. Ward, the United States
minister, has just arrived from the Peiho. From
her officers we learn the following items of news:
On th% 16th ultimo, while the Powhatan was an
chored off Peitang. there arrived an imperial
edict, ordering that the American minister and
suito of twenty should be escorted with all honor
to Pekin, and that they should leave Peitang any
day after tho 19th. The edict was in answer to %
communication of the American minister, inform
ing the authorities that he was present and ready
to exchange the treaty at any time and place they
might appoint. On the morniDg of the 20th, Mr.
Ward ana suite arrived at Peitang, where they
were received by an escort, and conducted to Pe
kin with every show of respect. They first tra
velled forty-five miles across the country in covered
carts, striking the Fcibo some ten miles above Tien
tsin, and thence proceeded in junks to Toong-chan,
distant twelve miles from Pekin, of which u is the
port. There they again took carts for the capital.
The entire trip occupied eight days and a half,
five of which were pas**! upon the river. They
passed not less than six or eight barriers between
Peitang and Toong-Chan-Non, none of them, how
ever, being in repair, or backed by forts. The
boatmen said they were partly to stop the English,
and partly to afford shelter to junks when the ice
was breaking up. The legation remained at Pekin
fifteen days, during which time they were confined
to their quarters; not, however, as prisoners, for
they were at liberty at any moment to walk out,
but the commissioners refused the use of horses and
guides, leaving it optional with Mr. Ward to grant
permission to walk out or not, as he saw fit. They
would doubtless, however, have closed the gates en
tirely, had not that gentleman taken a firm stand
at the very first interview, informing Kwei Liang
that as soon as his movements should be at all re
stricted, he should elose all intercourse and demand
a return escort.
It seems that the Emperor was very anxious to
see Mr. Ward, but that he also persisted upon his
performing Kot e., prostrating himself
nine times with his bead to the ground—which was
positively refased, as being against the principles
of his ExceUecey. The result of this was, that
upon the fourteenth day of their stay it was
concluded to receive the President’s letter at Pekin,
and to send his Excellency back to Pei-iang to
exchange the treaty, and next day they returned
arrived at Fei-tang on the ICtb, and trea
ties were then exchanged, and an English pri
soner, named John Powell, given up. This man.
who was a seaman on board of the Highflyer, ana
who. with a sapper, had been captured on the 25th
of June, fearing for his life, had proclaimed him
self an Amerioan. The Chinese informed Mr.
Ward of this, and intimated their readiness to give
him up as an American if he would demand him.
This, h wever, the latter could cot do, as the man
had been taken while fighting under the flag of
another nation. Anxious to serve the poor fellow,
he intimated that it would be a great personal fa
vor if they would turn him over, and as sech it was
done. Ho is now on board of the Powhatan. Of
the sapper nothing more is known than that he was
still a prisoner.
The correspondent of the London Tinss thinks
the whole affair was a humiliation to a great
nation, *nd was intended as such.
The British and French ministers remained at
Shanghae. . „ , „
The American msn-of-war were disposed of as
follows: Mississippi and Powhatan at Shanghae ;
Toey-Wan at Gull Pecheli, and the German town
4 A*arge business had been done in tea at Foo
Chow foo for the United Statee, at unchanged
prices.
