A constant pain or uneasiness at the pit of the sttanach, which is caused by a permanent contraction of . the stomach upon undigested food. It generally begins immediately or a short time after eating; is often val..) , severe ana obstinate. /2d. Flatulence and Aeidily r& .—These ay-moto arise rum the indikeetion of food, which ferments instead of digeetine. Costiimmees arid lose of appetite.—These symptoms are the effects of the unnatural condition of food_in the stomach. hnd the want of pure bile and gastric juice. The stomach is often painfully distended by wind.; the appetite is sometimes voraeions. 9th. Gloom snit Depreeoion of Spirits —This state unfits many for the enjoyment of life. and is caused by the impuro blood furnished by imperfect digestion. In this stage of the disease many persons commit suicide. There is' a constant foreboding of evil, and an indiffe-s and positive inability to perfoim the offices of life. sth. Diarrhow. —Alter being first costive, the sufferer is afflicted with diarrhoea, which is owing to a diseased condition of-the bowels, produced by the undigested food, which is evacuated fin the same condition as when eaten, and of course gives ue strength to the system. • 6th. Pain's in rrlt partniti the system arise from the action of impure blood upon the nerves. They are felt chiefly in the head, sides, and breast, and in the extre mities. In many cases there is an uneasiness in the throatovith a sense of choking or suffocation; the mouth is often clammy, with a bad taste and furred tongue. - • 7th. Contuinptive Symptoms o'ml Palpitation of the Heart.—Many Pereons Pronounced as having tithes die eases, have, in fact, nothing but Dyspepsia, the lung and heart diseate being only symptoms. 13th. Cough.—This is a very frequent symptom of Dys pepsia,and leads very often into 'confirmed consumption. 9th. Wend of Sleep. —A very distressing symptom, re sulting often in mental derangement. 10th. Simaptoms of external relation —The patient is affected painfully by chid and heat, which is owing to unnatural dryness of the skin, and the skin is often af fected by eruptions and tellers. The gloomy dyspeptic avoids society as much as possible. 11th. Vomiting. —A frequent and distressing symptom. It relieves the pain, bat emaciates and wears out the patient. . ' 12th. Da7I.??PSS, dimness of v1e071., headache, and staggering in walking —These are very alarming syme toms. which are speedily removed by our medicine; bykt if nett], cted are quickly followed by numbness and sud den death. 13th. —lt is impossible for as to give all the symptoms of DyspePsiain so small a space, bat , the suers are con sidered suflicient—if we-add. that the patient loses his memory and attention to surrounding objects, and ire.. quently becomes morose and sour in disposition. We should say, however, that pains in the joints and stiff ness of the limbs, which go by the name of rheumatism and neuralgia, are very often produced by Dyspspsis. Also, a hardness of the muscles of the abdomen, which. become contracted and hard; and in some cases the belly sinks, instead of being gently prominent. DYSPEPSIA ! DYSPEPSIA ! ! DYSPEPSIA. ! ! I, ELIZABETH BILAINEION, of Brandywine, - ,Del., Pir merly of Old Chester. Del., do - cetify that for one year and a half I soffered everything but death from that awful disease called Dyspepsia My whole system was prostrated with weakness and nervous debility; I could not digest my food. ; 111 ate even a cracker, or the small est amount of food, it would return just as I swallowed. it; I became so costive in my bowels that ['would not have a pasrage in less tnan from lour. and often eight days; under this immense suffering my mind seemed en tirely to give way I had dreadful horror and evil fore bodings. 1 thought everybody hated me. and I hated. everybody; I could not bear ray husband nor my own children; everything appeared to be horror. stricken to me; I had no ambition to do anything; I .lost all my love of family and home; I would ramble and wander from place to place, but could not be contented. I felt that I was doomed to hell, and that there was no heaven for me, and was often tempted to commit suicide, so near was my whole nervous system destroyed, and also my mind, from that awful complaint, Dyspepsia.' t hat my friends thought it best to have me placed in Dr. Rirkbride's Hospital, at West Philadelphia. I remained there nine weeks, and thought I was a little better, bat in a few days my di eadfril complaint was raging as bad as ever. Ilearingof the wonderful 'cares performed by Dr: Wishart'e Great American Dyspepsia Pills and his treatment for D3-spepsia, my husband called. on Dr. Wishart and stated my case to him. He said he had no doubt he could cure me. . So in three days after I called and placed myself under the Doctoes treatment, and in two weeks I began to di gest my food, and lelt that my disease was fast giving, way, and I continued to recover for amont three months, • and. at the present time I ettioY perfect health of body and mine. and -I most sincerely return lay thanks to a merciful God and Dr. Wtshart, and to his great Ameri can Dyspepsia Pills and Pine Tree Tar Cordial, that saved me front ari insane asylum and a premature grave. All persons suffering with Dyspepsia' are at liberty to call on me or write, - as I am willing to do' all the good '.I can for suffering humanity. ELIZABETH BRANSON, Brandywine. Del., formerly of Old Cheater. Dal. DR. WISHART'S (illUe, No. 10 North SECOND Street, Philadelphia. DYSPEPSIA! DYSPEPSIA. Dn. WISJIART: I have been a constant suffarer with. Dyspepsia Inc the last eighteen years, during whicn time I cannot say that I ever enjoy ed a perfectly well day. There were times when the symptoms were more aggravated than at others, and then it seemed it would be a great relief to die. I had at all times an unpleasant feeling in my head, but latterly my sufferings so lunch increased that I became almost until for bessiness of any kind. My mind was constantly filled with-.gloomy thoughts and forebodings. and if I attempted -to change their current by reading, at once a sensation of icy cold nees, in connection with a dead weight. as -it were. rested upon my brain ; also a feeling of sickness NVO aid occur at she stomach, and great pain to my eyes, accom panied with which wa. the continued fear of losing my reason.. . . I also experienced great lassitrole,dehility,and nervous ness, which made it difficult to walk by day or sleep at night. I became averse to society, and dispos ad only to seclusion, and. having tried the skill: of a number of emi nent physicians of various schools, finally came to toe conclusion that, for this disease, at my present age, gi years, there was no care in existence. But, through the interference of Divine Provideoce, to whom I de voutly offer, my thanks, I at last found a sovereign remedy in your Dyspepsia Pills and Tar 'Cordial, which seem to have effectually removed almost the last trace of my long list of ailments and bad feelings, and in their place leapt], pleasure, and contentment are my every day companions.

MOSES TOBIN. of.Cheltenham, Montgomery county. Pa., have suffered for more than one year everything but death itself, from that awful disease, called Dyspep sia. I employed in that time five of the most-eminent physicians in Philadelphia. They did ail they could for me, with medicines and capping, bat still - I was no better -'I then went to the Pennsylvania . University, in order to place myself in reach of the best Medical talents in the country, but their medicines tailed to do me any good, and oftthues I wished for death to relieve me of my sufferings, out seeing Dr. Wishart's advertisement in the Pniladelphia Bulletin, I determined to try once more but with little faith. I called on Dr, Wishatt, and told him if I could have died I would not have troubled him, and then related my sufferings to him. The Dr. assured me if he failed to cure me of Dyspep sia,,it would be the first case in two years. so put myself under his treatment; aid although I had been for months vomiting nearly everything I ace, my stomach swollen with wind, and filled, with pain be yond description, I bought a box of - hie Dyspepsia Pills, I used them as directed, and in ten days I could eat as hearty a meal as any person in the State of Penn sylvania; and in thirty days was a well man I invite any person suffering as I was to call and see me, and I will relate my suffering and the great sure I received.

Every kind of food that I ate filled me with wind and pain, it mattered not how lightor how small the quantity ; a continued belchingwas sure to follow. I had no appetite for any kind of meatswhatever. and my distress was so great for several months before I heard of your Pills, that I frequently wished for death. I had taken everything that I had heard of for Dyspepsia, without receiving any benefit; but on your Pills being recommended to me by one who had. - been cured by them. I concluded to give them a trial although I had no faith in them. To my astonishment, I found myself getting better before I had taken one-fourth of a box, and after taking half a box, .I am a well man, and can ea t emy tht ag rwish, and enjoy a hearty meal three times a day, without inconvenience „from- anything eat or drink.

General Roseerans received the order relieving him from command on Monday evening, and yesterday left for Cincinnati, where he' is directed to report. He is accompanied by only two personal aids. General Thiamin baa assumed the command A late report of the Chattanooga Rebcl says that Bragg will be undoubtedly relieved for his failure to defeat Rosecrans in the late battle, and it is yet un decided whether Johnston, Longstreet, or Lee will be his successor. The late rains have swollen the Tennessee river very much, and steamers could easily reach Ohatt.s nooga did the enemy permit. STRVRIXSON, OCt.2l.—Genhle Grant and Rose. crane both arrived Here last night, the one from Nashville, the other from Chattanooga ; and were the guests of General Hooker. Such a military gathering attracts much attention. MILITARY CHANGES WASHINGTON, Oct. 33—[Special to the Worldl— The facts in regard to chahgea at the Weat, as now ofHoially aecettained, are as follows: -1. General Resew ens is relieved. 2. General Thomas assumes his command of the Armyref the Cumberland. 3. The departments of the Ohio (Burnside), CUM. berland (Thomas), Tennessee (auribut), and Vicks burg (IYlnnerson), are consolidated into one grand " military division of the Mississippi," under the command of General Grant. - 4. Generals Hooker and Sherman, the latter now at Inks, will command corps in the field S. General Grant's headquarters will be in the field ; he leaves for the front to-morrow. 6. MoPherson's department will extend front the Department of the Gulf to Napoleon: (From the llPrald. General Rosecrans, it is underatood, goes to no new command at present, but will await elsewhere the command of the War Department. It is stated here that Roaecransi like McCook and Crittenden, falls a victim to the sharp eyes of the wide•awake and energetic:Dana, Assistant Secretary of War, who has been with the army since the 7th of Sep. tember last. Certain it is that Dana did the country much service in procuring the removal of AlcCooic and Crittenden, out. I cannot say that he has done equally as well in effecting that of Rosecrans. EAST. TENNESSEE Immediately after his occupation of Knoxville, Gen. Burnable organized a National Guard, to em brace all the loyal men of East Tennessee. We are gratified to learn that the ranks are being rapidly filled up. Anew United States artillery regiment is being formed at Knoxville, and six hundred men kat oncejoinecl it. If we can' hold East Tennessee, as -we led certain that we can, we may obtain twenty thousand excellent soldiers from that sec tion or the State. We also learn, that there is a large able-bodicd population left in spite of the rebel conscription, and that it is a source of profound surprise -to see the country so full of wealth in the foim of agricultural produce. The corn crop is enormous. ORITIVISIE Or THE LATE BATTLE. The following extract is from a private letter printed in the Chicago Tribune; I think we ought to have had, and did have, 75,000 men and 207 pieces of artillery in action on - Sunday, but I put the figures at the lowest notch, and you may bet on their correctness. Joe Johnston may possibly have had 75,000 men under his com mand, but 1 do not think it, for if he had we would have been driven into the Tennessee river, so poorly were our forces handled, You cannot fail to notice the immense amount of our artillery. Of this we lost between thirty and fifty pieces. I heard Gen. Mitchell say he thought our loss would not exceed thirty pieces, while some put it at fifty pieces. The medical men say our loss in killed and svounded is between 11,000 and 12,000 ; While our loss in prison ers is between 5,000 and 7,000. All our severely wounded were left in the enemy's hands, as - well as the bodies of the - slain on the field, for we were forced back- a distance of nine miles. And all this horrid 'slaughter took place, or nearly all, between 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock on Sunday—two short hours. . I believe that the rebel loss in killed and wounded is as great, and perhaps greater thazi our own, and we havesome 1,500 prisoners. When Rosecrans commenced his movement- on Chattanooga, Bragg lay there with about 25,000 men, which was amply sufficient to hold the 'place against any force which might attack in front, or from the north side of the Tennessee. Now old Rosecrans , plan,was to send Orittendents corps down to attack Chattanooga in front, (that is, from the north side of the Tennessee river), while he, with. ThomatrantiMcCook, should - troes•Lookont Moon. tain, and come in the rear' of the town, cutting off Bragg from all reinforcemente and making him either come out on the open field, and rink all on the fate of a single battle, when we had the choice of the ground, and a vastly superior army, or else lie in his entrenchments at Chattanooga, and starve to death, as Pemberton did at 'Vicksburg. Well, just as Rosecrans had succeeded in making the movement. Joe Johnston arrived with a few thousand inen from Mobile, and took command, or _dered the evacuation of'the town, •and commenced making a big show of falling back on Rome or At lanta. Rosecrans was completely fooled by this movement, and rushed with Thomas' corps into Chattanooga (where he spent a couple of precious days in counting his beads, and saying hie pater noaters with a Catholic archbishop), while he sent McCook's corps and the greater part of the cavalry still further south to flank Rome, in case Johnston should attempt to atop there. Instead of this, as is now evident, he Bbould have concentrated his forces, and beaten Johnston before he received reinforce menta from Virginia. Thus, you see, " old Rosy" spent a week catching flies, when he ought to have been whaling Johnston. That wily rebel no sooner discovered the movement of McCook than he set abodt to "gobble" him, and threw a large portion of his forces under Polk between Thomas and McCook, thus forcing him to retreat. Then occurred one of the moat terrific stampedes - on record. 'Our brigade was with McCook, and brought - up the rear, so I. happen to know all about it. We retreated for forty. eight hours, and scarcely slopping to eat—sleep ing was out of the question. ARMY OF THE POTOIHR. Gess. Meade in Washington—A 'New Move ment on Foot—Reports. of Lee, .hc. [Correspondence of the Herat] WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.—Major General Meade, accompanied by Gen. Humphreys, Lieut. Col. Ly man, and Capt. Morse, of Ms stair, arrived here this afternoon. The visit of Gen. Meade has given rise to a report that he has been relieved from the com mand o (the Army of the Potomac, as it was report ed in military circles several- days ago that the Pre sident had promised to select a new commander for that army, if Meade failed to overtake and defeat Lee. It is understood now, however, that-Gen. Meade is here to consult with the President in re gard to a new and aucceserproniising move of the Army of the Potomac, for'the execution of which arrangements are already being made. If rapidly carried out as proposed, this movement will surprise Gen. Lee, relieve Burnside 'rem all threatened dan ger, and take Richmond before the rebel army sent westward can be brought back there. .• LEE'S ARMY, FIELD, October 20.—They stated that Lee had in all, cavalry and infantry, about seventy thousand men. Lee had his headquarters about a mile from the fight, at a Mr. Crosones farm. My informant states that there was another Gen. Lee with him ; also Wilcox, A. P. Hill, and Ewell. UNION SYMPATHY IN VIRGINIA. I have been speaking to some exohanged men who were taken at. Gettysburg. There were over two thousand of them marched off together. They expe rienced the greatest kindness and sympathy from the people as they went along t particularly.frem the inhabitants of Martinsburg. The people of }lagers. town, Williamsport and Winchester were all kind to them. In Martinsburg the ladies, waved their handkerchiefs to them; and told them to cheer up. The shopkeepers ran out with bread and drink, and, though their guard threatened thom, still they per sieted. They remained for the night. about a mile beyond the village, and a deputation waited on the general to know would he allow them to supply food to, the prisoners. As soon as he granted the request, cars, loaded with bread and provisions, came out to them. Should our troops occupy this town again they should think of this. - OUR TIVAEDDMES, We have several of these charming creatures in , the army; The third corps • is : more favored in this way than any other, for it has uo less than three or four petticoat warriors. The most famous of these is Annie Etheridge, who always followed the. for tunes of the third brigade. Het dress has been per ferated with bullets several times, yet she clings on to the Jessie, attending the dying and wounded. I recollect meeting her at the battle of Chancellors vile, with a bullet hole right through her dress, and under the hottest fire, and told her to fall bank to the rear. "No," said she. "Here are the dead and wound ed, and this is my place." She has been presented with a Kearney medal for her cool bravery, and her devoted attendance on the wounded. Another follows the Third Michigan, but know little of her history. These ladies, in their Bloomer , costume, and their kegs of refreshing drinks slung before them, have a kind of cheering effect upon ue, moreover, here, where petticoats are so scarce. MARI% 43 De THIC UNION MEETING AT IZASTON BALTIMORE, Oct 2.3.—A large meeting, of uncon ditional Union men was held at . Easton, Talbot 'county, yesterday. Addresses were made by Hon. William D. Kelley, of Philadelphia, Henry Winter Davis, and Colonel Creswell. Judge.

This is the first instance of - a Republican Congress man speaking in the slave region of Maryland, and -ands° Kelley's reception was-most striking and en thusiastic. THE MIIEDER OP LIEUT.' WHITE Capt.-Leary states that Lieutenant White, with fifteen or tweilty of the men of - his company, was sent by Colonel Birney down to Benedict on Mon day, for the purpose of aiding in the recruiting for the command, On the following day (Tuesday), he received information thbt Colonel Southoron had two Ohio 'dawn tied up in his house, to keep them from enlisting in the colored regiment. The -Lieu tenant, about one o'clock, proceeded with two of his Inca to Sonthoron's house, distant about three. quarters of a mile from Benedict, and about twenty , five miles above the mouth "of the Eatuxent ; and, on reaching there, told him that he had come for the men, whom he - ordered to - -be released, SOuttroron and big gon Were both in the house, each armed with a doublehaiteled gun and braok or pistols..

The other guard be ordered to cock his piece, but at that moment Southor k m leveled hiagun and dia• charged it, the ball entering the right breast of the lieutenant, who fell to the ground mortally wounded. The'son of Southoton also discharged his gun, the ball entering about the same plane. The colored moldier, from whom the lieutenant ob tained his gun, on seeing him fail ran away, but not without receiving a shot from the Southorons, pass ing through his cap. The other guard fired his musket at the Southorons, the ball, as afterwards learned, grazing the cheek of the 110% without ma terially injuring him. He quickly followed his com panion, and in their retreat heard two other dis charges, by which, as afterwards ascertained, the lieutenant received two other wonnds, one of them on the back, near the left shoulder. aNIEMICO.

The great and perplexing question for Napoleon and Maximilian is the proba ble result of the war in the United States. And in this connection it is worthy of remark that the re pulse of General Roaecrans atChickamauga arrived in Europe the day the Prince Maximilian made his speech to the Mexican Committee at Trieste. In fine, Napoleon and Maximilian will be obliged to decide upon the following questions, which, you will admit, may well be perplexing even to conspirators of their force : " 1. How is the war in the United States going to terminate 1 2. Would not thb presence of the Frinee in Mexico hasten the overthrow of Juarez and the pacification of tEe country? 3.

How far can France, in the present me nacing condition of European affairs, pledge herself to remain the protector of the new throne in war as well as in peace I 5.

For the rest, y our desires have been alreadly an ticipated, and yesterday I dictated, in accord with the Government, the necessary rigorous measures to prevent the repetition of crimes which offend the public conscience, as well of French officials as of those Mexicans who have a right to my protection. The garrison of Tlalpan has been augmented, and a high official will hereafter discharge the funct tions of prefect. The ileymitamiento (Coalmen Council) has been removed. The village of Tia,lpan will suffer a penalty of $6,000, which will, in part, be distributed for the benefit of the victims who have been cowardly assassinated. A certain num, ber of individuals of bad reputation (1), willbe ar rested, and will serve, as hostages. If the assassi nations continue, these hostages shall respond for them with their heads. -If this is not sufficient, the village will he destroyed. It is time that, as the Emperor said when detestable pasisions: raged in France, the good should be tranquillized,"and also the bad. The Government and myself are perfectly in accord in our measures to maintain: order and assure good citizens the enjoyment of their property and of their lives, which is the first of all ; and if we are disposed to forget thff past and to act with clemency towards those who frankly adhere to the new order of things, which the .nation itself has established, we are equally decided to follow with the extreraest measures of rigor all the enemies of social order.

It was called and conducted exclusively by colored people. A full corps of officers were elected—a president, vice president, (George Washington, by the way,) a secretary, and four assistant secretaries. After the reading of the Scriptures and singing a hymo, a fer vent, loyal prayer was offered, and then the presi dent of the meeting arose to say a few words full of earnestness and vigor: " Two paths.present themselves for the choice of us and our race. To continue grOund down in ab ject slavery, to live, and our children after us to live, in chains and - contempt ; or to rise up in our might to assert our manhood and win our freedom from bondage. NOW is the time to decide. Choose ye this night whom ye will serve. Shall we look on and see the North conquered, and have the old dynasty of rebel rule .placed over us again bty friends, I have made up my mind to one thing—that' I'll not stay here to see it." [Applause.] Jerry Sullivan, another colored man, said : -- "God is in this war. He will lead tut on to victory. Folks talk-about the fighting being nearly over ; but I: believe there is a heap yet to come. Let the co lored men accept the offer of the President and Ca binet, take arms, join the army, and then we will whip the rebels, even if Longetreet and all the other Streets of the South concentrate at Chattanooga. [Laughter and applaused Why, don't you remem ber how afraid they used to be that we would rise? And you know we would, too, if we could. [Cries of 'That's so.'] I ran away two years ego. Gov. Harris said to me, 'Jerry, you must go with the army to blank shoes and wait on the officers, and you must start to-morrow Mornitig. , . He said I might see my wife and family that night. Where do you suppose I was the next day? . Why, I was in Kentucky [laughter] ; and the next day I got to Cincinnati, and from there -I- went straight to Gen. Ilosecrans , headquarters. And now I sin going to be corporal! [Shouts of laughter.] "Come, boys, let's get some guns from Uncle Sam,and go coon-hunting—shooting these gray back , coons that go poking about the country nown-days. [Laughter.] To-morrow morning don't eat too much breakfast, but as, soon , as you get back from market, start the first thing for our camp. Don't ask your wife, for if she is a wife worth hav ing, she will call you a coward for asking her. "[Ap plause and *axing -of handkerchiefs by the ladies.] I've got a wife, and - she says to me the other day, 'Jerry, if you don't go to the war mighty soon I'll go off and leave you, as some of the Northern gentle men want me to go home to cook for them.' , [Laughter.] • "Come, boys, we never had such a chance before, for you remember how tar, feathers, and a tree were promptly provided for every Abolitionist our old masters could catch ; and if -we don't go into the army now, we shall be- as black as Jeff. Davis' heart, Now, can we see the salVation of the Lord? Tennessee has always been noted for being a light ing •country ; and now; if we will take hOld, we shall form one of the brightest armies she ever produced. Under the leadership of Washington and Jackson our people were led on to victory in days of old; and now let - us, the descendants of Ham, raise again the banner that has been tram pled in the dust.

In recognition of so many services rendered by the Airily of the Don, and as a testimony of our parti cular satisfaction, we have commanded that, to ef fect a diminution of the laborious services of the Cossacks of the Don, and in order to give more el them opportunity for the improvement of their dr mettle life, the time of service for all classes shalt be shortened, and for the future a term of fifteen years shall be fixed for field service and of seven years for interior service. As a further contirmation of our most gracious satisfaction with the Army of the Don, we further confirm all rights and privileges which were &cooed et! 16 it by our exalted predecessors now resting its God, while, by our imperial word, we guarantee to it the immutability of its present mode of service (which has procured historical fame for the Army of the Don), as well as the integrity of all advan tages, grants, and territory which it has gained by its exertions and services, and by the blood of its members, and which were confirmed to the army by monawhical rescripts. While we remain forever well disposed towards the Army of the Don, we deign to sign this rescript with our own hand; and we have commanded Matti shall be confirmed with the seal of the Empire.

"To this assault on his country and religion, the late Daniel O'Connell replied in one of the moat caustic parliamentary philippics of the day, asserttng that the grandfather of Lord Lyndhurst was a do voted, but unfortunate, Irish Catholic ; his father a recreant to the creed of hie ancestors, and himself et "Hiberno-Americano•Englishman." ' Europe will not forget the " semional gm:am/sift . in which Lord Lyndhurst used to review, at the elope of every Parliamentary session, in the most severe and caustic manner, the progress made is legislation by a Government which, at the best, was neither collectively norindividually strong. In OM he finally retired from office. Since that time he has acted the part of an exalted and impartial critic of the measures brought forward by liberals and eon rervatives alike, content to range himself under the banners of no party as a blind supporter, though he lent to Lord Derby a stronger support than was probable from his antecedents in office as the col league of Canning and Sir Robert Peel. In spite of increasing years Lord Lyndhurst was, till within a few years, one of the most effective Of Parliamentary orators in either House. He was etn phatically "the old man eloquent" When he spoke on an important question the House was always crowded. His style of oratory was captivating in the extreme, and his voice one of the most clear and must. cal ; though its silvery tones were almost outdone by the Clearness of his diction and the chaste and fault. less elegance of his style. His allusions to classical literature were frequent, and always in good taste and applicable to the subject Without doubt, the greatest phenomenon among the aged lawyers and statesman was Lord Lynd hurst. That noble and learned lord, in his eighty.- seventh year, came forward to surprise and delight the assembly which he so long adorned. Nine years ago it used to be said, when Lord Lyndhurst brought forward some question of importance, which he fa- Wanted in a speech of singular clearness and preg nant with matter, that he could hardly be expected to appear in the same character in another session. Nevertheless year after year he pursued the same course, exhibiting gradual tendencies to physical in firmity, but little or no symptom of decay in his mental characteristics: AN AGENT OF THE. COTTON LOAN EXOITED.—Me. Spence, of Liverpool, has a letter in the 'London Times. - He remarks on the "flagrant disgrace" in flicted en the North by the suspension of the habeas eocpus act. . Mr. Lincoln in effect declares that in the hour of their country's need his own people cannot be trusted, nor one single district of the North be left to the action of the ordinary law with safety to the State.% But, says Mr. Spence, there remained hardly a choice for the faction .in power maw to throw of all disguise and rule by brute force. The people of the . North—not the contractors and fana tics, but the people at large—are tired of war. They are neither disposed to go themselves nor to send their brothers and eons. and without these it mine end. Referring to the shooting of substitutes who desert, Mi. Spence remarks that this kind of thing cannot last. No Country can be conquered by as arfny keptup by conscripts drafted into it, and con stantly shot down as they struggle to escape. LORD BROUORAM.'S SPEECH ON A3l-nuoa. (From the London Star.] • He rambles over the continent of Europe, villas its Governments with praise or blame, crosses the Atlantic on a voyage of political inspection, beton?, his august approval upon the partnership of France and Austria to rob Mexico of its independence, rails and rants against the "din-United States" in the style of a rhetorical fish-wife, and stops at the boor ders of Canada to pour a vial of contempt on met like Goldwin Smith, and proclaim that the true don trine of-colonisation was written by himself sixty sears ago in a book that everybody but its -author has forgotten. Lord Brougham is becoming a social nuisance, and, as such, requires to be abated by the society of which he is the head. •f:.lf he were a far greater maw than he in—if he had been ten times the public-benr factor. that he has been—it would be a duty and a necessity to check, if possible, his insufferable as • sion for talk and his tyrannical assumption of in fallibility. He has done a good deal for his country and for mankind—a good deal for himself and his re lations—now let him be content. Or if he mime continue to lecture all the world on its duties--to patronize all-the crowned heads that hfitie erre -shown him any politeness and revile all the peoples that continue faithful to hie abandoned principles—. let him do it in the House of Lords: There be may play the scold and scandal-monger, the gossip, or the courtier, as much as he likes. It is the plane appointed for "incurables," as he once told ne—the hospital and asylum of political dotards—and it Is open six months out of twelve. For mercy's sake, let him leavens at peace -in the recess. Let hint keep out of our philanthropic gatherings if he can. not refrain from talking renegade politics. We are not about to • examine Lord Broughaufq view of the American civil war. There m nothing in it that:has not been exposed every day for two years past. It is the common cant of every Tory squire And neribbler=every renegade radical and false Liberal. It is the foolish falsehood that has been vended by the Hopes and Roebucks, Rama. - dens and ',Malays, ever since the war began. * Alan for the reasoning powers of Henry Brougham{ Where is the logic that used to tear in pieces the sophisms of the .

Arnold, of Ile• verley, Virginia, says her brother "voted again* the ordinance of secession, and seems to think tliet it was the surroundings that put him wherele wow. She loved him tenderly as an only brother ; yet, ea. gaged as he was in the rebel cause, she , remarked. that, although it was with agony she said it, he hid. lived too long Niith the treasonable enemies of the best Government that God ever gave man." - ; --A court composed of invalid officers is about beinz formed in Washington. Colonel Warner, the 10th Pennaylvaiia Reserves, has been appointed president. Another court-martial has also bete formed for the trial of military officers.

His father, Captain Blunt, was " one of the world's wonders for morality," and the son is the pride of his native town, which he left so long age for Kansas. Governor Curtin is fast recovering his wonted vigor, after a short but serious prpstration from bis official labors. He will soon address himself with energy ,to the military and other interests of the State.. . Major General Rufus King received, at th e State Department, his commission and instructions as United States Minister to Rome, which position, it :Will be recollected, he filled for some years, mach to the benefit of American interests in that quarter.

Frrzoirnami—Sin : I was aware before the receipt of v our letter yesterday that you were still in prison, and I can Immure you that it shall be no fault of mine if you do not remain so during your natural life. When 'I promised to intercede with. the military authorities in your behalf, I believed your assurance that the suspicions against you were without foundation but on calling on General Winder I found that it had been reported to him, by a gentleman of undoubted loyalty and veracity, that you have been fOr, years an enemy and vilifier of outliern institutions, In 1866, you voted for the Abolitionist, Fremont, for President. Ever since the 'war you have maintained a sullen silence in re• gard to its merits. Your son—who, in common with. other young men, was called to the defence of hie country—has escaped to the enemy, probably by youradvice. This is evidence enough to satisfy me that you are a traitor to your country, and I regret that it is not sufficient to Justilyme in demanding you from the military authorities to be tried and executed for your treason. Yours, JOHN LETCHEIL The scanty rations allowed prisoners in Castle Thunder were insufficient to nourish so large and hearty a man as Fitzgerald.
