A NEW VOLUME 1-1861. THE WEEKLY PRESS will onter upon a New Vo lume with the flew Year. To aay,merely, that oqr paper has been successful would be to give far too weak and indefinite an idea of our position—for, not only ha* THE WEEKLY PRESS been established on eeoonrpeijd permanent foundation, hut it is, m reality, a marvellous example of tho degree of iavor whioh a rightly-conducted LITERARY, POLITICAL, AND NEWS JOURNAL can reooive at the hands of a liberal and enlightened publio.

The Great Failure of the A£e. The Directors of the Great Ship Cfmpany, by which the Great Eastern is novjowned, have issued a long report to tho They state, as the result ot tho trip tt Ame rica, that the consignees at New Yo’iLhave sent only £14,000 to London, without (nmißh iog any accounts. i *'• Last March the additional capital of £lOO,- 000 was raised, out of which was pail some £41,500 duo on mortgage, with interest,, A further portion of this additional capital was expended in putting the ship into a fit state for crossing the Atlantic, so that thoßoaij£ of Trade might certify her to bo sea-woriby. .The Directors say: “This threw upon your directors a responsibility far oxooeding their calculations in respect of time and expenditure of money. They wereintaoed, by statements of gentlemen to whom they referred us best acquainted with Amerio&n Affairs, to urge trith the greatest possible expedition the eqummeifthf tho ship, so as to arrive at Now York within month of July. Tho results iu AtperioaffOro not so satisfactory as your dircotors themsilves ex pooled, and were far below what comiron report seemed to countenance. So inuoh distrust had been exoited in the publio mind by tho disastrous aooideut before referred to, that until tbs melrltfi of the ship could be proved by a transatlantic) Voy-' age, fe>y persons ty ere willing to ombark. Venn directors had prepared aocommodalion Dr large numbers, but only two passengers were taken on the outward, and sixty-eight on tho himeward voyage. One hundred and ninety thousand per sons visited the ship in America. In theabseuoe of the Amorioan accounts, an accurato ehtement cannot be submitted to you, but it is estimated that the trial voyage to America and baokbas been effected out of the moneys received from passengers and visitors, without trenching on tho oapiial ofthe company; and that, notwithstandingmiuy draw-, backs, your directors may congratulate jou that of tho ship have boon fairlt proved without accident. It should not. however,be con cealed that the expenses ou board harei.been greater than thoy anticipated, and that fer future voyages considerable reductions could be effected.*' The Directors make no mention of the hooriah conduct, in this country, of most of tho officers and men of the Great Eastern- —of the general incivility, on board tljat leviathan steamer, to foipalo visitors—of that unhappy oxcursion trip to Capo May, i{i which Cox, the purser, so miserably obtained notorbty, by, making tho voyagers experience the practical meaning of" short commons/' —or of the raid into the South, whereby the paltimom and Ohio Railroad wore deluded into gratuitously coaling the vessel for her return trip tb Eng land! • Furthor, the Directors “ painfully ” draw tho proprietors* attention to tho fact that heavy, outstanding claims, contracted by a previous board, still remain unsettled, and that a most unexpected one of £lB,OOO presents itself in the award of tho arbitrators in the suit against Mr. J. Scott Russell. Against this award the Directors have appealed. There is i fur ther claim of nearly £6,000, by Mr. Parbyj which tho Directors resist. In compliance with a resolution of tho shareholders, at a conference on 2d October, a that the ship be put into a state of perma nent efflcioncy ; an 4 that all pprront expenses be forthwith reduced to the minimum consis tent with the safety and Interests of ves sel,** the directors had discharged tho captain and principal officers of tho ship, and will now apply themselves to complete the vessel “ with the requirements ofthe Board of Trade, and to lay new decks. This will involve a very considerable outlay, pro bably not less than £15,000. If the suit against Mr. Russelu had terminated in favor of tho company, as they were led- to hopo, nearly sufficient means would now be at their disposal; but if it should unfortunatoly hap pen that any portion qf.the award can be raado good against tho company, then ifhot*// be necessary to obtain additional capital. Tho proprietors will, bowover, have a nobleAhip, perfect in all parts, and ready to proceed bn any voyage in March Even if Mr. Russell’s claim docs not hold good, tho com pany will have the big ship on hand in March, with, at tho most, only £lB,OOO capital re maining, out of which tho cost of insurance must bo deducted. * Tho Great Eastern was taken into Milford Haven on returning lrom New York. She was placed upon a gridiron there, laid down by tho South Wnlos Railway the only one in tho United Kingdom whore tho ship could bo examined, cleaned, and have her bottom coated. The surveyors of tho poavd of Tf&do carofjilly inspected her, and their official report, dated September 27tb, thus describes her, as she appeared after her voyage to New York and back: t( The screw shaft ha* wont itself down in its bal to the extent of four inches at the outer end, the gun metal bearings of two inohes in thickness, stripped with lignvm vitas, being worn entirely through,. and the iron-wrought blocks supporting them being also worn down to the extent of two inches. These metal bushes must be renewed, and it is stroDglv rtoommended that the bearing surfaco should at the some time be largely in creased, so as to avcld a recurronoo of this exces* give wear. Tho Gifiard’s patent injeotois fitted to the paddle-boilers have proved insufficient to sup• ply them with feed, partly from their being too small, and partly from tho uncertainty attend ing thoir operation. It is believed that too inuoh of tho permanent work of feeding the boilers is thus thrown upon the donkey engines, which should be used merely as auxiliaries, moro espe cially as the donkeys of the paddlo engines have not proved v.ory effeotlvd. It seems desirable, there fore, that feed ppinps of the ordinary construction should be fitted to the paddle onginos,tn»/rtcs of fhp injeotors- The new feed pumps fitted to the sorew onginps are roported tohayo dono their work well. Supports or guides bavp been {Utpd to pbeok tho vibration of the air-pump rods of tho paddle en flnes. I am informed that the coals in the unkers have not shown any tendenoy to heat during tho voyago to and from Amerioa. Having oarefully examined the plates of the bottom under the water lino, In oompany with Mr. Rubio, I find that, in general, very little oorrosion has taken plsco, although there nro occasional patches whore tho water has penetrated under the paint, and cor roded tho plates to tho oxtent of !• 32nd of an inch. I did not boo a single butt which had started, nor any other symptom of the plates having worked in the slightest degree, the appoaranoo of the bot tom being altogether most satisfactory. l lt should bo observed that, owing to the vossof being morely grounded upon a levelled beach, there was a con siderable portion of the bottom which could not be examined , moro especially as the Great Eastern has no projecting keel.’ ” Upon the whole, thenj we conclude that the passengers of the (heat Eastern wore very fortunate in yoyaging so safely in her, with her screw-shaft in such a condition os is hero reported. Whether, after being again re paired, tho Great Eastern will be,“a noblo fcbjp, perfect in all parts, and able to proceed pji any voyago in post,” is thp public, judging from the past, may reasonably doubt. As yet, tho Qrcat gastern is tho great failure of the ago. The Paradise of Railroads. A Buenos Ayres letter, of tho 30th of August, furnishes the allowing curious information : “ The Government has determined to proceed at one® with tho railroad, whioh Is already in opera tion for twenty miles to the west. *Tho concessions given to railroad companies in lliisoountry are un beard offn the United States. For example, It is usual for tho State to guaranty an interest of from seven to nine per cent, per annum; to givo a free right of way through private as well as public property ; to give ample grounds for build ings, freedom from taxes, release from duties Hi transporting materials, «&o If railroad stock, with Buch bolstering, is not good, it oannot bo good anywhere. Add to these concessions the fiaot that hero are no hills to dig down, and but few low places fo be raised; that thoro is no tunneling to be done, tint few dreams to be orossod, nnd po frosts nor floods to provide against, and this must bo tho paradise of railroads. 1 Later from Tehuantepec. Tho sohooner D . F. Keeling , Captain Roiper, has arrived at New Orleans from Mlnatitlan, Tohaan topeo, the 10th instant. She brings five passengers and a cargo of mahogany and bidos. Her long passage was due to hond winds and calms this side the Yuoatan coast. Business at Mlnatitlan wOs vory dull; not a vessel in port, tho mahogany businoss having been transferred to tho Uspinapa and Santa Anna rivers, where tho timber was hotter. A number of new buildings, however, bad recently gone up at Mlnatitlan, among them a handsome store, be longing to Welsh & Allen. Of political news thero is nothing whatever etfr rlng. The gold hunteia of tho table lands had not been heaid from. The groat transit route was, in many plaooa, outirely grown over, and the river stoamor, formerly plying between Mlnatitlan and Suchil. for tho tronsportation of paßsongers, was Still lying up near Almagres. ludiotep pOR LißEp.—"Wo learn from a car# in tho Selma (Ala.) published by tho edi tor, Mr. John Hardy, that he has been indloted by the grand juries of Macon and Cooca counties for libel. Mr. Hardy soys this was done at the in stance of Mr. Yancey. The Austrian' Constitution. ; Annexed ia the Manifesto,* issued by tho Emperor of Austria, at Vienna, on tho 20th October, granting a new and comparatively liberal Constitution to his realm. It promises yrellybut-tho Emperor had previously made fereat Concessions, and afterwards withdrawn them. A Paris paper, Xe Siccle, makes the (following observations on this new Imperial movomont-: «"We greatly doubt the intention bf the Austrian Government to seriously car ry out the measures it has just decreed : we remember tho different promises and projects of Constitutions with which people have been deceived duking the last twelve years. The prothisos aro always violated, the projects never realized. Wo have reason to think that tijese institutions, for tlioir authors will not !;ivo them the name of a Constitution, will be ully as vain.and deceptive as - previous ones. L’hey have only been promulgated • to capti vate public opinion at tho moment](ho Empc jor of Austria is vainly seeking to draw tho Etijjlieror of Russia into a semi-offonsivo al ’ glance, which may enable him once more to try his fortune in Italy. Tho sending of Gene* ral Bonedek arid the Archdukes Albrecht and •'jVilliain into Yenetia gives tiio concessions, apparently made to public opinion, a meaning which it is impossible to mistake,** - The Manifesto'is ~a grotft ands'lngulai' histo rical document now], afrd therefore wo publish r i£, as follows, from the-JUfoner Zcitungj the official Gazette of Vienna? IMPERIAL MANIFESTO. TO MV PEOPLES. When I ascended tbe tbrone of my ancestors, the monnrohy was oxcosed to violont snooks. After a war extremely painful to my patriotic feelings, the imperious want of a striotor concen tration of tho governmental power arose in my do minions, as in nearly every strongly agitated coun try of the European continent- Publio order and the soourity of tho greater number of the poaoo able inhabitants of the monarchy required this the exoitod passions ana sad recolloo tions of the past, still so recent, rendered impos sible the free movement of eloiqents but a sqort time previously so hostile ! I h'avh desired to tako cognizanoe of tho wishes •and wants of tho several oountries of the monaroby, and in conseouonoo 1 created and convoked my augmented Oounoil of the Empire, in virtue of my letters patent of Maroh 6, of this year. In consideration of tho propositions whioh this Oounoil has submitted to me. I have resolvod upon •bestowing and publishing this day a rescript regu lating tho political organization of the monarchy, the rights and situation of tho various kingdoms and oountries, and at the same time the political representation of the entire monarchy. ' I have performed my duty as a sovereign, by reoonoiHrtgin this ipanrpr the traditions, wishes, r&nd legitimate pretopeiqns of my peoples to the real wants of my monarchy, and by confiding with perfect tranquillity the progressive devolopraont and consolidation of the Institutions given or re established by mo to tho wisdom and patriotic zeal of my peoples. I await tbe happy issue of them rthrougn tho protection and grace of tho Almighty, In whose hands the destinies of prinoes and na« -jdons are placed, and who'will not refuse His bone diction upen the profound and consolentious de sires of my heart. Viemna, Oct. 20,1860 Francis Joseph (menu propria.) IHPEGIAL PATENT FOR THE INTERNAL POLITICAL ORGANIZATION OF THE MONARCH*. Wo, Frauds Joseph, &a ., &o. When our ancestors of glorious memory oeoupied themselves with establishing in our august houßo a precise form of succession, it was the immutable order of succession fixed by his Apostolic Majesty the Emperor Charles VI, on tbe 19th of April, 1713, and known by the name of the “ Pragmatio Sanction,” whloh was acoepted by the States of our Several kingdoms and countries. Hosting on tha unshakable baas of a succession to the throne fixedly established, and on the rights and liberties of tbe kingdoms and countries afore* said made to harmonise with tha indivisibility of tho several parts composing it, the Austrian mo* uarohy, increased and strengthened since that time by reason of political International treaties, lias victoriously surmounted tho dangers and attacks that threatened it, thanks to tho fidelity, devotod* ness, and bravery of its peoples. In tho interest of our house, and of our subjects, it is our duty as a sovereign to maintain the power of tho Austrian monarchy, and to give for its so* curity the guarantees ofdear and certain laws, and of one common homogeneous action Thesegooran fees oafa ouiynm completely furnished by Tnstitu tiocs corresponding to Mflerio -richly to the differ ence existing between pur kingdoms and provinces, and the necessities for their indivisible union. Considering that the elements of the common ho* mogeneous organic institutions have developed and formed themselves through tho equality of our sob* jeots before the law—through tho free orerolae of religion guaranteed to tvory one—through tho right to hold office independent of blood and birth, and through tho submission of all to taxation through the suppression of statute labor, and of the intermediate line of custom houses within our mo narchy; considering further that by tho concen tration of tho power of the State in every country of Cho Earopean Continent, the com non manage ment of great affairs has become an indispensable necessity for the security of our monarchy and the welfare of its provinces, in order to romovo the dif ferences previously existing botwcon our kingdoms and provinces by moans of a participation, suita bly adjusted, of our subjects in legislation and ad ministration upon the basis of tho Pragmatio Sanc tion, and in virtue of our authority, wo have found it good to dooido and ordain, that what follows shall be n fundamental and irrevocable law of tho State, for us da well as forour legitimate successors. 1. The right of giving, changing, and suppress ing laws ehall only be exercised by us and our suooossors, with tho concurrence of the diets law fully assembled, and of iho Counoil of tho Kmpiro, to whloh tho cjiots tyjU soml a numbo'r of members fixed by us. 2. In future all legislative questions having re* ferenoe to tho Tights, duties, and interests common to all our kingdoms and countries, shall be discus, sed in the Counoii of the Empire, and by its con currence shall bo decided, to wit: questions rela* ting to ourrenoy, coinage, credit, customs, and commerce; to tho bank, tho administration of tho post offioes, telegraphs, and railways; to the future military enrolment; to tho institution of now tax ation and tho augmentation of existing taxation; the conclusion of fresh loans, conformably to our decreo of July 1/, 1880; tho conversion of the ex isting State debts, and tho sale, transformation, or mortgage of the immovable property of tho State — theso questions can only bo settled by and with tho consent of the Council of State Lastly, the set tlement of tho budget of expenses for the yoar en suing, the regulation of tho acoounts, and result of tho annual expenditure, will have to bo made with tho co-operation of tho Council. 3. All tbe other legislative questions not com prised in the preceding article, will bo solved by the diets, and as regards the kingdom and pro vinces belonging tp the prown of Hungary,in tho sense of thoir ancient constitutions; and for our other kingdoms and provinces, in the sense of their several institutions But as, with tho exception of tho provinces of the Hungarian crown, certain le gislative questions, not within the exclusive com petency of the Counoil of the Empire, have been treated for many years past in a general manner for all our other provlnoes, wo resorvo to oursolvcs tho right of allowing these questions to he also en tertained by the Council of the Empire, the oounoils of those proviuoes being consulted. A common aotion will and may ensue, when tbe respective : diet concerned shall express its wish therefor, should matters have to bo discussed that are not reserved for tho competency of tho Counoil of tho Empire. 4.

Diplomatic relations are becoming every day loss friendly between the Preach Government and the tiwiaa Confederation. Several Frenchmen have oomplained ef violenoe having been used towards them. The Frcnoh flag likewise is said to havo been frequently insulted. In consequence of this state of things, M. Turgot, tho French mi nister at Borno, has returned to France on a leave of absence for six months. The Swiss press, in the meantime, is doing all in its power to envenom the difference. In this course it is aided by numerous anonymous pamphleteers. The Paris correspondent of tbe lndlptndan.ee Beige says : “It is alleged that the French Em peror has addressed on autograph totter to the Em- Seror Alexander, expressing his surprise at the istrust of him whioh the meeting of the sove reigns at VVai3aw would seem to imply, and pro testing his dovotion to the cause of order and con servatism. lehall not sffirni that a lotterof this kind has been aotnally written, but I have positive information that language of this import was tuod both by the Emperor and M. Thouvenel to M. do Kissokff before the latter left Paris. His Majesty is said to have added that, in any case, ho did not fear the coalition, bqt. that he would not believe in it It is repertod, at the same time, that tho Em perof asked Lord Palmerston to como to Paris, in order to arrive at an explioit and definite under standing as to tbe means of oonsolid&ting the An glo-Fronoh alliance. Finally, it is said that M Cavour has asked for information from tho French Cabinet, as to tho meaning of the formidable mili tary preparations and the reoent strategio move ments of'Austria, and that he received for answers that those pUitary demonstrations had no aggres sive moaning.” The Prinoo do Condo, the son of the Duke d’Aumalo, has joined the London University Col lego as a regular student, attending the Greek looturos of Professor do Malden, and the Latin lectures of Professor Newman. The Patrie says that the presence of the two Austrian arohdukes In Italy is no indication of ag grosstvo measures, as they have gono there merely to study tho position of the country with a view to defonce. The telegram from Munich affirmtng that tho representatives of Prussia, Spain, and Portugal at Turin aro preparing to leave that capital, doCB not meet with implicit oredenoo.

Simon, although severe towards the recent policy of Piedmont, does not indicate a diplomatic rupture. It is, moreover, difficult to reconcile the abortion of the Prussian Gazette that the Cabinets of London'and Berlin have como to an agreement on “ several great and important questions 0 witji the supposition that Prußsja can‘bo seriously hostile to staiy. \7e road in tho Invalide Russc : The results of the entry of Victor Emmanuol into the Neapo litan States wilt soon be manifest Capua and Gaeta will soon fall; Francis II will rotire to Seville; universal suffrage at Naples and in Sicily will elect Viotor Emmanuel for King, and Europe will accept the event as an accomplished foot. It may be that out of tho present chaos a strong, >rosperou3, and well-organized kingdom may arise, ’t will only be regrettable that, to obtain this end, forco, whioh is in our opinion tho saddest and most insecure of moans, should have been employed. Sardinia.— fit is tho intention of the War Minis try, should the annexation be accomplished by the oud of the month, to raise tho army next spring to three hundred thousand men, of whom two hun dred and fifty thousand would be really effective for tho lino,, should thoir services be required.

Ordn&noe and warlike stores are alroady in great abundanoo. The naval force, too, will in six months be double that whioh operated before Ancona. The proclamation of Viotor Emmanuel is said to have boon sent from Paris in Fronoh, composed, corrected, rovised, and ready for issue. A report of the Minister of War of the King of Naples on the battlo of tho Volturno has just been molished. Acoording to this document the royal sts wore tho conquerors.

With like reasonings it would be easy to prove that no one was ever beaten. Tho committee entrusted with tho care cf the royal pulaoes at Naples has intimated to M.

English View of the Presidential Ques tion. [From the London Daily News, Oot. 93.1 No satisfactory reason has been assigned, as far as wo are awaro, why the Stato of Pennsylvania always dcoidcs the fato of partios on tho great oc casion of tho oleotion of n President of the Ameri can Union ; but, in point of faot, it does so dcoido. Pennsylvania has no particular woight of political character, no stability of political aim, no attri bute which con attract and concentrate popular confidonco; and yot, when tho Pennsylvania emo tions are over, tho Federal one is virtually deoided. The Pennsylvania vote is Republican, this time, throughout tho Stato \ bo is that of Ohio; and so is that of Indiana. According to ordinary experi ence this should sottlo tho business; and Mr. Abra ham Linooln and his wife might preparoto removo from thoir rural abode at Springfield, In Illinois, to the White House at Washington. But they are probably wiser than to make suro of their singular elevation. From month to month it has become : dear that the Demooratio candidates had little chance—split as their party waß in all directions, and ohanged as is the mood of tho Northern States, from apathy, and indolenoe, or timidity, to indignation at tho suppression of their liberties under tho legislation of the last thirty years. It was dear that a candidate representing the plantor intorest could make no way whilo his party was divided; and that tho other Demooratio candi date, Mr. Douglas, was too deeply implicated in the policy of tho South to have a ohanoe unless tbo whole South supported him; whereas the Charles ton Convention broke topiccesabontbimlongago. If thi3 had been all, tho Linooln family might have mndo pretty sure for many weeks past of whero they should spond the noxtfour years. But another and fourth party has beon oreated to tako advan tage of tho moment of discomfiture of the Demo cratic party; and the attempts at fusion made bo tweon ©non of tbo Democratic seotions and this party have protractod the uncertainty till now. Tho dooisiou of Pennsylvania (the State which vir tually mndo Mr. Buchanan President) has ex cluded all further ohanoes from snob fusion; but it oannot have absolutely determined the fate of a temporary party, which professes no principle, and appeals only to political superstition. This is so now a manifestation in a polity- of self government that no one will venture to say how it may tako. In relation to the J)omo oratio party, the Ropublioans aro triumphant; but when a procession is marched through the country, carrying the relics of saints, and pro mising salvation to all who will worship them, it is a matter of moro speculation whether the greater number will or will not try that way of salvation TWO CENTS. before attempting to retrieve their country by re forms in harmony with the' principles of their Re* public. It seems soarcely credible that the dead should prevail over the living—tradition over ex perience—or that a self-governing society should be persuaded into a compromise which, on the face of it, is marked for failure; but comma* mties, as well as individuals, aro.apt to do strange and unworthy things in a mood of panic, so that I** 09 the Union party, as it calls itself, oannot possibly carry the day. P»marily of the rem nant of the old-fakhioned Whig, or Conservative, patty, whioh practically died out with Daniel Webster, who himself died of mortifjBaiion" ? 'at the* disorediting of his own character and cause, after ho had sacrificed* both in a last grasp at the su preme dignity of the Republic- This remnant has made a polioy .of attracting the timid, the an tiquated, the vain, and the sordid, who dread re form, tremble at chang4, cling to their pride in the Union, though the Union Is stooped in shame, and' abhor the necessity of revising their oommeroial relations with the other section of the nation. The candidates put forward are a slaveholder, Mr. 8011, and a Northern man with no principles to embarrass himself or the party—Mr. Everett. Thoir programme is that of the ostrich—to turn tail against all danger, and bo blind td all mlsohlef; anfj leave, events to chance and time. This was Mr. Buohanan’s avowed policy, when entering on office; and his* advioe—to be silent on all diffi cult subjects—ls adopted ahd promulgated by the leaders of the Union* party. They ore; in faot, the humble servants of the dominant party at Washington, under whom the liberties of 1 the citizens ore suppressed* the national reputation is outraged, and the poaco of society jeopardized more gravely from day to day. . Under a polioy of kindness and silence, Mefesrs. Boil‘and‘Everett would perpetuate the censorship of tho'post-offtce officials, and the gross corruption whioh pervades ebbry’depMfmefltof the public service. Such an administration must oither provoke a revolutionary opposition, or leave tho inevitable reforms to be made under oiroumstances of aggravated difficulty. There fs nothing-in thocapabityor obaraoterof the candidates which can redeem thebadness of their programme. Tho Northorn States will not elect a slaveholder who issoleotedby that qualification', and they are too hoartily ashamed or Mr. EvCrStti as a representative, of Northern politios to relish giving him any support If they do elect the psir,. it will be, because the'fear of facing the question is pressing for solution overpowers all other considerations whatever. Meantimo, there is mnoh oratory, and many torches and serenades in honor of the ostrich policy, while the hunters are as sembling in full view, to show how much better it Is to deal with mischief than to hide from it. Will Lincoln and Hamlin, the Republican can didates, then, measure their strength against the difficulty, and extirpate the gangrene whioh is de stroying thoir country? It is scarcely credible that anybody expeots this of saoh moo, chosen at such a timo. Their party itself is orude, stum bling in its aims. hazy in its purposes, undisci plined in its work. It is tho newest and rawest expression of the disgust and indignation of the’ freo Btato« at the vices of the Administration and the decline of the national obaraoter and reputa tion; and 6ome of the best of Its leaders openly lament-its probable success, on the ground that four years more would have raised the party* into some worthiness of the work it has to do, and strengthened its capacity for aotlon. The best that is anticipated, therefore, in oase of the success of the Republican candidates, is that the rash to de struction will be arrested, the prevalent official corruption taken in hand, the will of tho people better ascertained, tho service of tho State better Erovided for, the foreign relations of the country roueht into a normal condition, and a fair field open for the nation to ohooao its poliov for the future, and decide how best to reverse the policy ef the last thirty years. The choice of the Repub lican candidates will be a token that*that policy is to be reversed. If Mr. Bell is ohoson, it will be by the inter cepting of genuine popular action by the organized cowardice of the community. If Mr. Lincoln is elected, the way of rescue will be opened to the country, though the President himself can scarcely bo very prosperous. The Northern Democracy will join the Republican party, and thus consti tute a force worthy of the work to be done. If neither party prevail, tho Senate will settle the point; and wo will not ropoat the rumors as to who would in that oasq probably be President. The nomination, not being at all related to a national choree, coaid hardly oause elation or discourage ment to anybody; but tho postponement of the settlement of the national polioy might be an Irre trievable misfortune in a crisis like the present. Whilo awaiting tho issue, whioh must soon become known, wo oannot but see that the lateßt incidents of the preparation have concentrated general ex pectation on Mr. Lincoln. PERSONAL AND POLITICAL. —The • Twits' correspondent says: “There is a lot of young men of fortune at Naples at the pre sent* moment, moßtly Englishmen and Americans, who amuse themselves by going out by rail every morning to. Garibaldi’s quarters before Capua, and with valuable guns of loßg range whioh they have purchased for tho purpose, pick elf the xnen at the outposts o£ tho royal army all day, and return to the oity in the evening to boast of tho number of game they have ‘ bagged ’ during the day. This irregular warfare; can led on for amusement, and by men not enrolled in the army, is nothing less than assassination, and ought to be denounced as such and arrosted. It is anlco distinction to make in oortain aspects, but as a moral question it ia quite clear.” Guiseppo llicoiardi’s tragedy, the ‘*Lega Lombards,” was performed at Naples on the 15th, and was received with great applause by a veiy qrowded house.

CALIFORNIA. PRESS, tamed three times a Month* in time for the California Steamers. Important Patent Extension to a Phila- delphias* The Patent Leg,” which for fourteen years has been the theme of unqualified admiration through out the oiyilized worid, as a philanthropic Inven tion, has just passed a re-examination at the Uni ted States Patent Offioe, where its merits have been again acknowledged by an extension of the original patent. We cannot better describe this invention and its utility than by appending the fol lowing oxtraots from the admirable argument of Dr. 0. F. Stansbnry before the Hon. Commissioner Thomas: I nover approached a oase. with more satisfac tion than I fee! in the presentation of the applica tion which I now have the honor to advocate; be cause I am convinced that a favorable action upon it by your Honor will comport not less with the promptings of generosity than with the dictates of justice. For. it must indeed be a pleasure to SJS?t an ©xtoneion of a patent in a oase where, in addition to a full compliance with the legal re quirements on which the right is founded, you dis cover that the object of the invention is purely be neficent, and that its proprietor has so admi&ister ®d . 8 property in it as to contribute, in the most efficient manner, to the production of the largest amount of good at the least possible expense to the public. Such is the character of the case now pre sented for your Honor’s consideration. Mr. Palmer has been in possession of this patent for fourteen years. Had he used it as men too often employ monopolies; had he taken advantage of its great and universally acknowledged superi ority, and of the necessities of the mutilated vic tims who applied to him for aid, and extorted a ‘Urge or unreasonable compensation for the relief of their sufferings, die might have reoeived a much more ample reward for his ingenuity, and, been less dearly in a position to ask your Honor for an extension of his patont. But the testimony has but one voice in declaring ilia course to hare been the very opposite of Ibis. He seems to have re garded the invention as a sacred trust, placed ia his hands for the relief of suffering humanity, and to havo looked upon his own pecuniary interest In it as a consideration altogether secondary to the claims of the mutilated unfortunates who oalled to ■himforsnooor. ' . • " Ia the Invention of value and importance to the publio ? We can never reduce the value of an invention like this to exact ‘pecuniary statement until we learn to measure human sensibilities with a rule, and weigh human joys and sorrows in a balance. Although this invention has, undoubtedly, a high pecuniary advantage to the public, yet its ehief value is as clearly a moral one. I have myself seen an engineer, with two of Palmer’s artificial limbs, driving a locomotive. If the invention of Mr.' Palmer enables men who without it would be reduced 'to beggary to pursue thoir ordinary avocations, and earn by their labor a living for themselves and their fami lies, it has a direct pecuniary value to the public. We have no way, however, of stating it with accu racy on a balanoe sheet, as we oannot trace the history of Mr. Palmor’s army of over two thou sand patients, and show how much each one has gained for himself, or saved to the publio, through the possession of this invaluable invention. Many of these persons would not be able, with: onfc the leg, to. earn a livelihood, and would be come, with their families, more or leas dependent upon tho oharitles of the community for support. Let us assume, what is certainly below the truth, that five hundred of these unfortunates are of tbb character, and that the annual difference to.the public between Iheir being able to make their own living and their becoming paupers is five hundred dollars in each when all thinks are considered, an extremely low estimate)—end we shyi have an annual saving from this class of cases atone of $250,000, equal to $3,600,000 in four teen years. The opinions of the most eminent surgeons of Europe have bsen expressed without reserve in reference to the superiority of this invention. I was myself in London during the whole period of the great exhibition, and I am free to Bay that no American who shared the sneers with which our unpretending display was greeted by the European press can but feel that be owes a debt of gratitude to those who, in the end, so nobly vindicated the industrial honor of our oountry, and carried-off the riohest prizes for great and original contribution* to the meohanio and industrial .arts, and thus turned the tables on their superoiliGns competitors and critics. Prominent among these champions pf cyr nation al honor, was the present applijbtt, whose beauti ful invention attracted the nofioe of Europe, se cured the approbation of the first surgeons cf the age, and oarned off the prize medal from a Urge number of rivals. To these foots witness is borne by the “Reports of the. Juries”—a work in the Library of the Patent Office. As to the general moval value of the invention, and its superiority over others, the testimony is so fall and so uniform, that £ need not cite it, and will only refer to it. The awards of publio Insti tutions, where this invention has come into compe tition with everything of its oless, have been very numerous, and uniformly foTorable -to the superi ority of this limb oyer.evpty other. * The moat distinguished American .surgeons have not hesitated,! notwithstanding the somewhat stringent ethlos of the American Medioal Associa tion on the subjeot of patents,' to respond' to the application of Mr. Palmer, and give their testi mony to the valne of bis invention. In the present case, it is satisfactory to feel that the interest of the public concurs with that of the applicant in asking the extension. If the patent of Mr. Palmer were made publio, many persons, tempted alone by tho desire of gain, would at once begin tho manufacture of hißlimb. Destitute of capital, experience, or anatomical and surgical knowledge, and strangers to those just and elevated views which Mr. Palmdr has always held, cf the character of the trust which the possession of such & property implies, they would produoe an article vastly inferior in material and workman ship, foil in tho nico adaptation of the limb to the peculiarities of each case, eat down tho prico to a standard which wonld render the highest excel lence impossible, and thus ruin the reputation of the limb, destroy tho public confidence in it, and leave the unfortunates who need such an appli i anoe, to the tender mercios of pegs and crutches, or the mjre doubtful consolations Differed by other inventions. If tho patent be extended, the manufacture will remaiu in Mr. Palmer’s hands, and, with the facili ties which, it appears he is now providing at bis new establishment, he will be able to supply the entire demand, with an article of the same high character as that whioh, it is proved, he has here tofore furnished to his patients. Mr. Palmer is just now completing a house and manufactory at No. 1609 Chestnut street, Philadelphia. The es tablishment is made on a grand scale, and is the only one of the kind in the world. The price, re gulated by tho same just principle as hitherto, will bo no higher than tho admirable quality of the limb, and tho surgical skill required in its applica tion domand and justify. 9he publio eonfidonoa in the invention will be maintained and strength ened, and tho mutilated will have the satisfaction of knowing that their losses can be supplied by a reli&blo substitute, in every respeot of the very beat quality. The reverse of all this would be true, were the invention to be made publio property. I contend , therefore , that the public interest would be promoted by a- favorable action on out application. I have tho honor to be, sir, your oVt servant, Charles F. Stansburt, Counsel for B. Frank. Palmer. From Kansas* THE OLD TROUBLES REVIVED —SETTLERS DRIVEN AWAY BY UNITED STATES TROOPS. A correspondent, whom the Leavenworth Times considers reliable, writes from Mapleton, (K. T.,) under date of Oot. 26, detailing strange proceed ings Bgainst the bardy'and industrious pioneers who had settled, during the last six years, on tho Cherokee Neutral Lands, a district which embraces on Area twenty-five miles by forty in extent. He writes: A few mornings since, these sottlers were sur prised by the report that the United States troops were on- their way from the south to drive them from their premises. In a few hours the report was confirmed by the appearance of the Indian agent, whom they call Co). Cowan, accompanied by a company of oavalry, sixty mnnmber, commanded by Oapfc.Sturgess. They commenced Immediately applying thetorch to the dwellings of the settlers, traiellfnj; northward with their work of devasta tion and ruin. Nearly ail the settlers on what is oalled the -‘ Lightning Creek Settlement” wore thui visited by them. They came on to Cow Creek, a branch of the Dry Wood, and there showed the same relentless spirit. The news of their destructive raid travelled before them, and tho settlers on tho Dry Wood rallied to the number of threo or four hundred, and sent a Committee of Conference to visit tho ‘ r CMbnel.”- Theoommit* tee contended that, whatever might bo his right to disturb the settlers furthor. south, they on the Dry Wood were on what is callod the u eight-mile strip,” and that they were on no part of the Che xokoo tract, but on lands now subject to pre emption. At loast, they contended that, sinoe that question was yot in a measure unsettled, they should be favored, and allowed to remain until a new survey oould bo made, and the whole mat ter legally adjusted. Finally a written pledge was signed on the part of the oitiaens that they would abandon that dis trict previous to the 250 r of November next, pro vided the afeent would spare their dwellings at this time, ana leave the country. Accordingly, the incendiary withdrew, but threatened that, if every man of them did not leave before the day specified, he would born not only their houses next time, but all their feed, grain; and everything be could find valuable. When the n£ws came to our citizens in this por tion of‘the county, they immediately sent down delegations to learn the facts and report. Some of these gentlemen have returned, and report the most distressing scone. Seventy-four houses have been burned, and at least one hundred families turned out upon.the broad..prairies!—all by that subtle acquaintance of ours called the power of the Federal Government. I have,’ during the last twenty-four hours, conversed with at least twenty persons from that country, and all give it as the saddest scene ever witnessed in Kansas. Women, and children are now sheltered in tho bushes along the creeks, mourning their hard fate. A meeting was held last evening at Mannaton, some four miles this side of the land referred to. It was largely attended, both by delegations from Dry Wood and other portions of this oounty. All I have here written was more than confirmed by those who spoke. One gentleman stated that he knew of a case where this _Col. Cowan came to a house in which a lady was sick, having a child but two days old AU their pleading was in vain. He ordered his men to oarry her out On her bed and lay hor upon the prairie. Bis orders were obeyed, and tho house was fired. A mass meeting is called at Cato, on the Dry Wood, next Wednesday. The indignation is very general, and the exoitement high. I understand a committee is now on the way to see Gov, Modaty. Yesterday morning, just after Captain Star goes’ company had started seuth, a messenger ar rived, “ on his third horse,” from ForfcLsaven* worth, with orders for him to start for that place immediately.
