The announcement that General Grant and his army of war-worn veterans are now advancing "will be hailed with infinite joy throughput the.loyal North, and wiih a corresponding feeling of alarm in the rebel States. The telegraph informed us several da, a ago that he had oeoupied Lagrange, on the Mem phis and Charleston railroad, but significantly re marked that other movements were then in progress Which it would at that time be impoliticto divulge. But the telegraph this morning discloses part of the plot, and it, together with the map, gives us a clear insight into the remainder. It states that our pickets were then within a few miles of Holly Springs, and that a number of rebel cavalry had been dispersed and captured. It is probable that the large rebel force that bad been concentrating there since the Corinth battle, under the command of Generals Pemberton, Price, and Van Dorn, have retreated to Granada, a strong strategical point at the junction of he Mississippi Central and Missis sippi and Tennessee Railroads. This piaco is said to be strongly fortified, and it is not. probable that it will be surrendered without a battle. To attack this place successfully two columns will mareh on It, the one -by the Holly Springs road, commanded by General Grant, and the other by way of Mem phis. .These two columns can easily form a- junction a few miles north or the town, and" * make a concerted attack. It is probable that the rebels will make an attack with the hope of checking cur advance, at Oxford on the Holly- Springs road, and at Panola, on the Memphis road. With the fall of Grenada—for wo taka it for granted it must fall when attacked by our brave Western boys—the road to Jackson and Vicksburg will be open. A stand will no doubt be made at the former place, but it will bare to follow .the fata of its predecessor. With the fall of Jackson comes the abandonment of that great goal our soldiers in the West are at present aim ing for—Vicksburg—unlesa indeed ' its defen ders wish to be captured. Thus it will be seen what the army of Tentesse is striving to ao oomplish. But they will not be expected to per form all the work themselves. Admiral Porter has been preparing his gunboat fleet tor active service, and when General Grant, with his army, has in vested the city we may expect to hear the gallant Porter’s fleet knocking at its door for admittance. With Vicksburg in our possession, the Mississippi is again free to those who fought for it, and to all coming genera ions. The campaign in the West is, therefore, becoming interesting, and wo hope will be fruitful of victory. The Newspaper Press. We notice that some of our contemporaries in tho New England States, New York, and other-paits of the country, have raised the price of their circulation as well as their advertising rates. This action on their part has been rendered necessary by the sudden, and- enormous- increase in the price of paper, the taxation, the increase in labor, and the. diminution in the sources of supply. Paper is the material item in the composition of a newspaper, an'd, in the business of journals oflarge circulation like The Pkess, it is necessary to make pro vision a long way ahead, and to be prepared to anticipate any contingencies that may arise. There are two qualities ot paper in gene ral'use among the. newspapers-—that nude of rags and that made of straw and bleached. The former is of\a clear surface, pure, white, and prints a soft and bright impression. The sheet on which this article is printed is a specimen of rag paper, the principal ingre dient being cotton and the pulp and refuse of cotton stuffs. The straw paper is a cheaper fabric, rough, brown, and brittle, discoloring with age and use, and often, breaking into flaky fragments. This is becoming more generally used, as it is a cheaper fabric. But the price Of bleaching has risen so highly, that straw paper is beginning to feel the effects of the coming crisis, and, in addition to the di minished supply and increased demand, we have the probability of a still greater ad vance. Printing inks are also advanc ing, partly because many of the ingredients composing ink have doubled and trebled in price. The effect of this is to cause the adulteration of inks, the printing of a pale sheet, and the production of an unsatisfactory newspaper. Summing up the results of the great advance in raw material, we need only say that, the, copy of The Press, which the reader holds in his hand this morning costs us more than fifty per cent, of tho value of a similar copy of the same newspaper two months ago. • We mention these matters without making any aliuslon to tho taxation that has gone into effect, and which must soon be felt by every journal in the land. Something must soon be done to meet this serious change in the busi ness arrangement of tbo newspaper press; It is right that the people should know these ■things. At the same time, we are happy to assure our readers that we are prepared to meet any difficulty that may he forced upon us, and that, notwithstanding the many embar rassments that come upon us, in common with all our cotemporaries, we are still blessed, with a continuance of cur great success, and in a flourishing and prosperous condition. liAJtOB Positive Sam op Choice Dry Goods, » u,e early particular attention of purchasers iB requested to the large and desirable assortment of British.

The Board of Presidents of the City Pas senger liailways have adopted a resolution to the effect, that on and after the first of De cember the charge for siDgle fares over all of our passenger railways shall be six cents, and for exchange pickets eight cents. This is a large advance upon what is now paid, and as it is a matter interesting every citizen of the community, we very naturally ask the Board for the reasons prompting this change. These reasons are given to us in the preamble to the resolution as published in the daily newspapers. That preamble tells us that, in consequence of the greatly in- creased cost of all articles that are required for the operation of tho railways, and the im position of the national tax upon their gross receipts, ilie present rate of fare is inadequate to meet the expenses, and leave a margin from which to remunerate stockholders for their in vestments. With all disposition to bo respectful to the Board, we must say that we do not be lieve the statements thus published. Wo are more inclined to believe that these men are animated by a' grasping, ravenous, insatiable desire to make themselves rich at the expense of the community, and to take advantage of their monopoly to extort larger revenues from the people. " It is well known that no investment is more profitable than that of a city passenger rail way. We all remember the mania which seized moneyed men and speculators a few years ago, when street cars were introduced; Our legislative hails at Harrisburg became dens of thieves and money-changers j fabu lous sums of money were spent to control public opinion and buy the suffrages of easy Representatives. The scenes attending the subscription for stock to new roads made necessary the intervention of the police, and often terminated in scandalous breaches of the peace. The people patronized the new roads because they were easy, comfortable, and con venient, and in all respects a great improve ment ; upon the lumbering stages of former days. This patronage soon became ah end less source of profit. Nothing in the history of corporate enterprise has proved so success ful, and no better evidence of that success can be needed than a few quotations from the stock market. The stock of every company sells at an enormous advance. The Second and Third-street road, costing but $2O a share, now readily brings $75. a share—an advance of three hundred and twenty-five per cent, on what does not represent a full share, but merely the first instalment. The Chestnut and Walnut-street cost $lO per share paid in, and sells at $5O, an advance of four hundred per cent, on the first instalment. The Tenth and Eleventh-street Road cost but $2O per share and now sells at. $B-5, an advance of seventy-five per cent. Every road com mands a large advance, and so profitable have they become that not one has found it ne cessary to ask for the payment of the full sub scription, so that the directors are actually asking the public to pay them large dividends upon the selling price of their stock regard less of the small amount the stockholders in vested. We are asked to pay not only a large .dividend upon the original capital invested, but upon the profits of that capital. Now, wo submit that this is shameless and criminal extortion. The members of the Board complain of the “greatly increased cost of all articles that are required for the operation of the City Passenger Railways.’ 3 To show the injustice of this complaint, let us look at other cities. In New York the pas senger can ride from the Astor House to the vicinity of Central Park for five cents, and this is a longer distance than that of most, if not all, of our roads. Eight cents will take a passenger to Harlem, a distance of seven or eight miles. In Baltimore the cars run to Druid Bill Park, ogjk a distance of from two to three miles, ana charge five cents. Iu the cars run from the navy yard to Georgetown, a distance of four, and.it may be five miles, and only charge five cents. None of these roads have raised their fare, and they are all as expensive as any road in Philadelphia. Nay, more': judgiug by the. relative cost of labor, and material, arid provisions in those cities, as compared with Philadelphia, we have no doubt that our city roads are twenty per cent, cheaper. We are fair in presuming that the average journey of every passenger in a city car is a mile. It has been calculated that these journeys do not average more than .half a mile, Taking the larger estimate, we may say that the price of travel on a. passenger-car is five cents a ; mile. And yet there is not a single railroad that leaves Philadelphia for the North, West, or South, that charges more than three, -or at best three and a half cents a mile for fare; and with that rate these roads sustain rolling stock: and locomotives, and long tracks and bridges, and tunnels and way-stations, and a multitude of employees, incurring liabilities that are never met in the city, and suffering from the. varia tions of transient travel. Steam roads ate content with their rate of fare; they make money and are satisfied. This is not the case with our passenger railways. We trust that the people will not submit to the contemplated wrong of these railway di rectors. We are all interested in putting an end to such a monopoly—the poor man more in tensely than the richTnan. The weary laborer; the busy housewife on her way to the morning market; the clerk and artisan with the city counting-room and workshop,and the suburban cottage, are all interested in this change and they will feel its injustice sorely. It is a blow at the best interests of Philadelphia. When local expensive, the outside and; growing wards of the city will no longer at tract the busy working-man who longs for fresh air and a rural home. Property will depre ciate in value, and the unwholesome and crowded interior wards will be peopled by pale and unhealthy workmen, whose fresh air, as well as the evening and morning ride, has been taken from him by a heartless, grasping, and avari cious corporation. We sincerely trust that measures will be taken to crush this pro ceeding at once ; that the City Solicitor will endeavor to stay it by procuring an injunction. Failing in that, let the people meet and. act through their Representatives at Harrisburg. The power that made these extortioners can unmake them, and it . may be necessary to in voke it at an early day. - . i LETTER FROM “ OCCASIONAL.’ Washington, Nov. 12, 1862, The statement that General Burnside is only; temporarily in command of the Army of the Potomac, or that he succeeds General Mc- Clellan on account of his rank in the service, is wholly unfounded. He assumes that import ant position by assignment of the President, and it is under the same direction that Gen, , Hooker succeeds Pifz John Porter. Sen. Burnside goes to the head of the army under extraordinary advantages, and it is not doubt ed that he will realize the general expectation. He is a modest and an unpretending officer, and his career has shown great forbearance and success under difficulties, and that which . is so characteristic of the rebel chiefs, des peration and dash.- He is not a talker, nor a sensationist —and is identified alike with the regulars and the volunteers. He lias, there fore, been taught the great double les son of observing the severity of the old school, and of respecting the peculiarities and newness of the troops taken from the ranks of the people. One of the advantages of Burnside is his close companionship and fast friendship to McClellan, shown on so many occasions, a fact which ought to satisfy all the friends of the latter that, in his retire ment, no intention is manifest to do him in-. justice, only the inevitable necessities of the case may be so construed. General Burnside has seen, in the retirement of -his friend, what the nation needs, and he will, of course, accept the trust in this stem and I inexorable sense. The people and the | politicians, the soldiers and the statesmen, the merchant and the mechanic—the waiting mother, and father, and sister, all look for ward to action, to victory, to a speedy close of the war, and to a complete restoration of the Union. There are many garlands ready wreathed to be hung on the brow of him who shall accomplish these things; but, with the recent past fresh before us, let ns forbear praise before it is duly earned, and reserve our garlands until they have been fairly won. The Republic wants success;. and this. must | be had if the hero who is to achieve it is still carrying his musket in the ranks of the army ef the United States. And may the good God decree that Ambrose Everett Bnrnsido is to bo onr Saviour and our Deliverer I , - OOCASIONAX.. FBOM WASHINGTON. Special Despatches to “ The Press.” .Washington, November 13.1802. The Capture of the Bark Sophia. , Fnrihtr information from Commander G. H. Soott, of Ibe Maratanzae, says that the Bogltsh turk Sophia bai been captured by the Daylight, Acting Master Wabrjbk, and the Mount Vernon, Acting Volunteer Lieutenant Fkathek, commanding, Their reports show the Ices of three oilicere, three boats, and eighteen men. It epptars that the English vessel was discovered on the morniig of the 4th Instant, lyißg at anchorage near Mi son villa, when she made sail and stood for the beech, which she struck at 9% In the morning. Boats were despatched to set fire to her, which was effectively performed.- During the affair the boats of the Daylight got ashore, and the Mount Vernon despatched boats to their assistance, while the two vessels kept up a con tinuouafire on the woodß to provent the enemy from molec ting cur men. Great difficulty was experienced In getting the boats off the shore. When returning to the anchorage it wos discovered that Acting Eoslgn O. L. Bon rrts and five seamen of the Mount Vernon, with Acting Assistant Paymaster Ozark, Coxswain Roberts, and thirteen men, were missing. Late’Blchmond papers mention the capture of these men. The Capture of the Sehooner Pathfinder. Bear Admiral Las has for warded to the Navy Depart ment a report of Commander Cures, of the gunboat Pe nobscot, off Bhallott lulet, North Carolina, detailing the circnrartances cf the capture of the English schooner Pathfinder, which was difeovered on the 2d instant otose in with the land. Her crew were driven on shore by the rifle gun of the Penobscot, while trying to tow the vessel toward the coast. ' ' ’ . . Acting Ensign Edwards, who boarded the schooner, found her cargo to consist of ss't, olive oil.'boots, shots, Honors, etc. Her destruction was occasioned by the fact of the tide und surf preventing the possibility of geitirg her afloat. She was set: on fire on the afternoon of the 2d instant, every preparation having been made for that event eatly in the day. - : . Commander Glitz retorts having on board the Pe nobscot an hbglish flag, a uosciraut, and a time-piece.. Capture of the Schooner Hucer. Tbo Navy Department has received information that Acting Master WAnaus, commanding the United States stesmer Das light, on the morning of the 3fllh ultimo, while on his way to the blockading station off Wilmiiig ton, N. 0., and when about three miles from New Inlet, difeovered' a schooner lying at anchor between Stump Inlet and New Topsail Inlet,: When Bhe got within a mile of her, the first and second outiers of the Daylight, under ccnimand of Acting Master Gleason, were sent to board and examine the vessel. Before she was reached, her crew slipped the cable to allow the echoonor to drift, and 9od (o the shore in their boats, and thus eacapsd. The boats of the Daylight reached her, and she was boarded before drifting ashore. Finding no one aboard, ibey made Bail on her, and brought her off. There was no other vessel in sight at the time, aod not’a gun was fired in making the capture. The parties escaping from the veree), after lending, flred two musket shorn at the boais’ crew, but n« one was hit. .Ho flag of any kind or paper could be found on her. Bhe proved to be the Bacer of KaEsau, New Providence, and was loaded principally with salt. Bhe has been sent to New York for adjudication. g The Supply of the Postal Currency. Owing to a deficiency in the expected supply of the postal currency, the Treasury Department will not be able to perfect the arrangement for furnishing the rail road the - much needed small change until text week. .. , . fCavalry Captured. ; . A tgusd of our cavalry, nnmbeting 35 men and an officer, together with 400 Bland of arms, were captured by a tquad of rabel cavalry, in Mount Gilead", Loudoun county, on Tuesday. ‘ . Arrival of General McClellan at Trenton, Trbktok, N. J., Nov. 12 —General McClellan arrived in ibis city at four o’clock this morning, with a portion of his staff, and immediately proceeded. to the State-,street Eouße. There was no excitement. The lateness of the hour prevented a demonstration on the part of the citizens cf Trenton,, who thronged the railroad depot during the day, anxiously awaiting his ar rival. i The General is accompanied by the following members of bis staff: .001. E. H. Wright, blent 001. Edward Mc- Kay Hudson, Lieut. Col. A, Y. Colburn, Lieut. 001. Badpwifz, and J. O. Dnane, Brig. Gen. Marcy, chief of the staff, anil father-in-law of General MoOlcUan, arrived here on Saturday, and is bJeo at the State-street House. , Mrs. McClellan and Mrs. Matey are also here. ' The party were rather tired and jaded with a long journey, and soon reared to their rooms to rest. This morning large crowds of the citizens of Trenton are beginning to collect about the hotel, anxious to greet the General, and this evening they contemplate to give him a grand serenade. Many cf our principal citizens are already moving in the matter. Strangers are rapidly arriving from New York and Philadelphia, sad in a few days it is expected.the city of Trenton will be unite an object of curiosity. The General has expressed a wish to remain in auiet, and desires to avoid any excitement or ovation. An Imp'hrtant Capture—A Rebel Bearer of: Despatches Taken Prisoner, Baltimore, November 12 —The United States gun boat Hercules, Captain Gungan, arrived here this morn ing frem a cruise along the border of Virginia, On the morning of the 3d inst., before daylight, Liout. Baker, •with ah armed boat's crew, discovered a party on the shore signalizing to some rebel soldiers who were sta tioned np atmall inlet. Finding that they were dis covered, they took to their boats and tried to escape. After half en hour’s obese the boat was oaptured, and found to contain Hhreo men, with signal lamerus and; flags, arias, .Sic. One of the .party proved to be Major Beid Sanders, a regular officer of the rebel army, and the son of George H. Banders; the other two were English, saiiors. At the time of their capture they were expect ing a vessel to convey Meier Sanders to Europe with re bel do pitches, and were signalizing for . that purpose. Tho two English sailors landed from a vessel from. Ha'i fax, N 8., about tea days previous, which brought over a prominent rebel with despatches. The vessel whioh was to convey Banders to Europe was lying about four milee outside, but, upon discovering the capture of the ■party, immediately proceeded to sea. The Resistance to the Draft in Wisconsin Milwaukee.

He had a slight attack of paralysis some weeks ago from which he never fuliy recovered, although it was not until within the last ten days that his disease assumed a com plicated and threatening form, Mr. Oakford wag the senior partner of the house of Charles Oakford & Son, on Chestnut street, and was for many y ears prominently identified with the commercial enterprise ol Philadelphia. As a merchant ho never allowed his own personal advantages to eclipse his regard for the honor and the interests of his city, and as a man there are but few whojdying, would be more sincerely lamented on account of their personal qualities of mind and heart. , ■ Pennsylvania College op Dental Surcery. —We learn from the Dental-Cosmos that Drs.

Hilltop, plain,.and valley glowedlast night with the camp-fires of the Grand Army—beacon-lights of human liberty ! Alas, no! not yet--niiity—and in the Btarltt grove where lay the quarters of the general and stair, a rich band poured forth music; nuinoroui officers, in full uniform, paid him,'in bis capacious tent, their pirl ing tributes of respect, and the besrtfelt sentiment of their leaders welled in responsive sympathy f rom the mighty hosts around. The iies which knit them all to their beloved chief can only be born in the sonl through a baptism of blood and fire, and beneath the halo of a common glory.; and as each grasped his 'hand with fervor, the pressure was retnrned with a measure of affection fully equal. . . THE SCENE. IN THE GENERAL'S TENT. ' We will descend to details. The General had paaied the entire day at the quarters of General Buruoido, com municating plans and discussing the campaign. I a the evening* on being informed of the intended visit* ho was ready at 9 o’clock for the "reception. He woro at. undress military coat, open* and with the collar turned down; and B 9 he stood in the centre of hie tent, shaking hands wltheacb, smoked a cigar, and blew clouds'in tho : air with imperturbable tranquilitr and cheerfulness. * The oft-repeated remark of '< General, this is patoful newß,” elicited the reply of << It was very unexpected to me, 1 assure you-” Strong expressions, indulged in by youth ful members of the staff, wit a. quietly, answered with, “We have only to obey orders.*’ The subject was then immediately turned to inqutti'B relative to thiiv personal affairs and duties.’ Champagne was upon a table In the corner, of which all partook. As the General lifted his glassy his toast war, “The Army of the Potomac, and bless the day when I shall return to it.” Enthusiastic individuals hinted constantly at-the White House as hjs future command. This was answered with a smiling si lence, at to a remark by no means new, ?■ ■ ... GEN. M’CEELIiAN INTENDS TO WHITE A HISTORY OP HIS CAMPAIGNS. A gentleman from Washington Territory JntroJnoel himself. The General said he was sorry to see hint under these cbrcnmatances. Ho s. t speech was made. Someone observed, “General, we shall sfo yon bach in a fort night.” Said he, “If X never return to the Army of the Potomac, may I live to writo its history. It is a task 1 1 which I shall devote myself.” Again; to another: :«I feel as if the army of the Potomac belonged to ine. It j) mine. I feel that i!s officers ere my children—my brothers. This separation is like a forcible divorce of man and wife. It is unnatural ” As the crowd gradually departed, his brother generals', and more immediate companions in arms,-rematned.- Upon the closer confidences imparted to them, I did not intrude.

The Globe, in a leader on the departure of Lord Lyons, says every reliance may be placed on his'discre tion; besides which, there is great improbability of any cause of political differenoes between the Government at Washington and our own. As to Cape.-Wilkes; should . be toangress the fair bounds of warfare, his Government will repudiate hte transgressions as it did before. ’ The appointment of Commodore Wilkes to the com mand of the United States squadron off Bermuda, and his proceedings there, contfoutd to claim attention. The powerful scron-. frigates “Galt tea ” and <• Emerald,’’ car rying 26 and 36 guns, had both left England to reinforce the British West India fleet. ; The London Timse contains a letter from Oapt. Horn, commanding the steamship “Gladiator.” According to his statement the Island of Bermuda was effectually blockaded by the Federal squadron. The account given by Captain Horn is as follows: Toe Island had been strictly blockaded, by a Federal iquadron, under Commo dore Wilkes, 'since September 27th, on whioh day he entered the harbor in the Nagasslt, accompanied by the gnnboat Tioga, leaving ano-her gunboat (the Sonoma) to keep guard at tho entrance or the harbor, and, under pretence of coaling and repairs, remained at anchor till the 2d of October, oh which day ,he ■ UJt, end Ikn Sonoma entered and commenced coaling, ' : sihd Mtfoh the'lfith'of'Octobari—Thei.threajvssestf had been in sight up to the day of the Gladiator leaving, Oa - tober 7tb, cruising about four miles fromrtbe land, and at eight anchoring in the fairway of the ohannel leadiiig to'fit. George’B, so tbatit way Impossible any yoss3i could go* cither in rr otit Oapt. Horn gives' an account af the rcailbbat Merliff having been fired at and brought to, and of tho Gladiator having been ordered to heave to. The only British man-of-war at Bermuda was the Desperate. • Capt Horn is of opinion that the coaling must have been a mere pretence, as. the Squadron was only lour days from Fortress Monroe, and that the quan tity of coals taken on board by the three vessels was not sufficient to coal one; had it really needed them. - The Times , editorially, says: “It is certainly not for our interest, as a nation, to tmjpeaoh the belligerent right of search, end the Federate have not actually exceeded tbeir privilegem -It would be impolitic as well as unjust to inieifaro with their proceeding?, and we mu3t say, that,-with the exception possibly of the case of the Gladiator, they do cot appear to have materially over stepped their rights; - If, then, as wo Bhonld be disposed to surmise, they have done little more than press their privileges as rigorously as possible under the provoca tion given theta by a brisk contraband traffic, we thick we may bb well make aliowance for th ir temptations, BBd put ourselves in their place before we pronounce upon their conduct. We are by no' means sure as yet that the Federate have done in this matter anything more than, under similar conditions, we should have done without any tciuple at all.” In its “City Article,” also, the Tim (3 refers to the affair and says : “ The idea that Commodore Wilkes may intend to renew his experiments mioternaiionoflaw has greatly subsided, and ibe'belief is that his nomination to the West India station was not intended as an affront to the neutral Powers of Europe, hui merely to gratify ’ the New York populace, by enabling them to interpretit as tnch. That consequently the orders to the Commodore .enjoin him to keep within proper bounds, and that should bein the face of them rerort to any outrage, if will be repudiated like that upon the Trent” . Tbs Daily .News remonstrates with President Lin coln upon the bad taste shown in the appointment of Wilkes to that post, where he is most likely to come into contact with British shipping. It recommends Lincoln to put seme officer of proved discretion between Bermuda and Charleston, and console Wilkes by sending Mm to blsze away at Vicksburg or Fort Morgan. The Times, In some speculations on the elections in America, says: “ When wo see the Democratic party nuking a show of force, once more strngg ing for utter ance and yearning for the old free institutions of early Amc-rics, we believe that, in that party, lies the only bopi of peace to a great people, and permanent prosperi ty to,a mighty, country. They.bave all our sympathies. We have no great faith In the early termination of the war if tho B<.ynblicahs gain another term of power. True, gold is new at 132, and the money crash is nearing every day ; but the Confederates have fought on parched corn, and tho Federate also can fight without .foreign credit if their passions, hold out cr their party hatreds urge' them. Although they never can actually subdne, they may go on obstinately fighting If the Republicans should win all those elections, the result may very pro bably be so to lengthen, and embitter this war as to thro w the North Atnerican ebbtinent back for a century.” The Times publishes a private letter from New Or letns, in wbich it is stated that Mrs, Phillips, who suf fered such barbarons treatment fromJJenl Butler for ha ving smiled at the Yankee soldiers, has completely loßt hi r reason.

The Times remarks on this letter, “it is, a senseless humiliation end ah useless insult to drive up a whole population under the muzzles of oaniioh and under threat of being utterly despoiled to commit a; sort of while perjury. A gentleman with a little tact might by this have let loose those three million bales of cotton. But while Butler commands,!New Orleans can .serve for; no otbir use without, but as a warning to ail Southern cities of wbat submission to the North involves.” The Gibraltar Chronicle confirms the telegram an nouncing the mnrder of the officer in command of the privateer “Sumpter.” It says: A dreadful tr «gedy oc curred yesterday evening, October 15, on the Confederate steamer Sumpter, in this port.

Mr Cobdex ha?? addressed his constituents at Roch dale Ho tpoie at length on the prevailing distress at liancashire. Be regarded that distress as a national question, asd if public and private aid proved tn tnfflctent to relieve it, Parliament would have to make prevision for it He then referred to the. American war, and said ’ that it woaid be a waste, o£ time for foreigners to attempt to ih&aence’tbe opoaba tants. To Interfere in the war, or to recognise the Boutlv would do more harm than good, and fail to bring forward cotton. As to how th» contest was i going to end, he confessed his inability So form any opinion, but If compelled to make "'a, guess, he weald not. make the same guess that Sari Bussell and Mr, ' Gladitone did He did not- believe that if the war should soon be brought to. a termination. It would end in the separation of the North and South. Ho thought thot» who professed so muob for Italian unity ought - to' appreciate'-more the- same union in: America, Interference by force would do more than any thing else to strengthen the Union Government, and the costto England in six months would he more than suffi cient to feed the distressed colto» operatives for ten: years.

'Fhe Italian Parliament is cod vt ned for the 3 Bih of Hovember. The Ktog had held a review of twelve thousand men in ♦he Cheep de Mere, Turin. The Italia asserts that the King will proceed to Milan. From Milan his Majesty will proceed to Bologna, Parma, Piacenza, Alexaidria, and Genoa, where he will hold other reviews.

GREECE The abdication of King Otho is fully confirmed.. He and bis Qrreen arrivtd at Corfu on the 27th, and pro ceeded to Venice. The Provisional Government, under the presidency of M. Mavrocordato, bad formally declared the dynasty of King Otho to be deposed. It ia asserted the t.tbe candidacy of Prince Lieutohan • berg to the throne of Greece was seriously spoken of at Athens. An address wae being signed at Athens oalling upon the lonians to unite themselves to Graeco. The Insurgent obief at Monitza is said to have called the inhabitants to anus against the Turks. Abdel Pasha bad'sent a strong division to occupy Arts, ia order to repulse the Greeks should they attempt to make an in cursion into Albanian territory. The London Times says the abdication of King Otho* (whose rule it Btrongly denounces) is an event which jnsy prove of the utmost importance in the politics of Eastern Europe. The Kmsa trusts that, whether they chooses member of a European reigning house or a man of their own race, the choice .will be ratified with out brsitation by Europe, and that the' Greeks will not create trouble by an infraction of public treaties or any Bttemit at present to extend; their territory. „ r . • The Post says: The seif-constituted Mavrocordato directory ia crying, apparently, not for the inauguration of reform, but for the acquisition of Albania, The revo lution, it Hi clear, has had 1 both a foreign origin aud a foreign object. Mavrocordato and hie fellow tools would hardly have ventured on a courso so disproportioned to their strength, as well as to alien from the common aims of a sucdeisfni insurrection, without the complicity and Support ef one at least of the Great Pow-rs of Europe.” The Pott theo insinuates that the Bussian Government is at the bottom uf tt. Sir Henry Bulwer, the British Minister at Constantino ple, had gone to Athens on account of the complications in Grtece, and it is suggested that the intervention of the great Powers in genua! will be necessary. English and French squadrons are said to have been ordered to Greek waters. A‘Turkish naval division had also been ordered to the Gulf of Arta. Prince Alfred, of England, was amongst those spoken of for .the Greek throne, bot tha Times points out that be is ineligible under the treaty of 1832, and suggests the Count of Flambns, Becond son of the King of .the Belgians, as the mostavailable Prince. - BUS 3IA. The Journal de St- Petersburg publishes a dipiomaßc correspondence between Earl Hassell and Prince Gort echakcff, in reference to the Montenegrin question, and the state of things la Turkey generally. f Earl Bussell holds opinions contrary to those of-the Bussian Government respecting the cOndltlois of peace imposed upon Montenegro, and explains for what rea ecus England mnat decline to give her snpport to projects which have no other aim than that of dissolving the ties of fuzerainty which connect Montenegro with Turkey. Prince Gortschakcff, in reply, endeavors to show that the Porte bae acted with great dishonesty towards Mon tenegro. and states that Bnssia also considers the mainte nance of the Turkish Empire as important for the po litical equilibrium of Europe. Russia must, however, insist upon a more conciliatory system of government being inaugurated in Turkey, as far as the Christian eubjtctß of the Porte are oonoeroed. Priuoe Gortsoha kofT also censures the conduct of the Turkish Govern ment in the Herzegovina and Montenegro, and at Bel grade. . ; ; 1 - . ■ LONDON MONET MARKET.—Consols were quiet and rether weak, but the fldciufttions were slight.
