LordPalmerston, in a speech at Mel. bourne, referred to the ‘ Trent’ affair, which, he said, was settled in a, manner consistent. with the dignity of both Eng» land and America. There was, conse- quentlymo triumph on either side. The only triumph was that of truth and justice, which each side was equally interested in maintaining. ‘ ' The "Times reiterates its arguments that the North cannot conquer the South, and says the time for compromise has ar- rived, andfthe Worst settlement of the dis- pute cannot be so fatal as the continuance of the war. The Times then draws an analogy between the position of England daring the revolutionary war, and the present position of the N orth,and says that it is 'time the North followed the example of England. The Army and Navy Gazette de- scribes General McClelland’s campaign as the roost signal failure seen in this century.'=3 ' Lord Brougham had made a speech urgingtbc absolute necessity of neutrality and non-intervention in America. The Liverpool Post draws attention to Secretary Seward’s late circular to en- courage emigration, and urged the dis- tressed operatives of Lancashire and the Irish poor to follow Mr. Seward’s advice and emigrate. The London News urges that the Em- peimr Napoleon cannot be allowed to as- sume exclusive control in Italian affairs, and" urges the British Government to speak out. ' There were vague rumors that England had protested against any French occupa- tion of Neapolitan territory, and that England even threatened a corresponding movement in Sicily if France restorted to such a step. ‘ FRANCE. The Emperor Napoleon presided at an important Cabinet Council on the 28th of Auguston Italian affairs. A: French squadron had been sent to Naples and an English squadron it is said, had also been placed there. ITALY. The latest advices from Turin report that Garibaldi and ,his volunteers continued their march from Reggio, pursued by-a column of Bersagleri. There had been no collision with Gari- baldi’s forces and the royal troops, since the trifling one reported by the Norwe- gran. A proclamation issued by Garibaldi from Catania, inviting the people to insur- reetion, had produced such strong demon- strations in his favour at Genoa, and Flo- rence, and some collision had taken place between the authorities and people. AUSTRIA. The military movements continue. Outbreaks wcre apprehended, but precau- tionary measures have been taken to coun- teract them. LATEST, VIA QUEENSTON. . Paris, Aug. 30, Noon.â€"-A telegram just received in this city, states that Gari‘ haldi had been defeated, wounded and captured. ,5 London, Aug. 31.â€"â€"-The Moniteur says that the insurrection which threatened to compromise the destines ol Italy has ter- minated. ‘ Garibaldi, after a very sharp contest, was compelled to surrender. An Italian frigate was immediately or- dered to convey 'him to Spezzia. The blockade of the Italian coast is or- dered to be raised. Paris, Aug. 31.â€"Tne capture of Gari- baldi is fully confirmed. THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, (Special to the World.) CINCINNATI, Sept. 7.â€"â€"Important news is expected. Gen. Buell has ordered the city to be evacuated. General Order, No. I, issued by Gen. Wright to-day, says Major General \Val- lace is relieved from duty at Cincinnati, and will repair to Covington, where he will make his head quarters for the present, and proceed to organize into brigades the troops mustered into service, and concen- trated at and in the vicinity of Newport and Covington. James H. Simpson of the United States topographical engineers, is charged with the construction of such field Works as are deemed necessary for de- fensive purposes in the vicinity of New- port and Covington. Lieut. Colonels of the 13th United States infantry, will con tinue to discharge the duties of military commanders of Cincinnati. From him all ward organizalions for military purposes and independent military companies wil re- ceive instructions. The resumption. of all lawful business in the city of Cincinnati, except the sale of liquors, is hereby authorized until 4« p.m. daily. Druggists, manufacturers of bread- stufis, provision dealers, railroad, express and transfer companies, persons connect- ed with the public press, and all persons doing business for the government, wil be allowed to pursue their avocations Without interruption. At 4- pm., daily, Sundays excepted, all the military organizations will hold themSelvis in readiness at a mo- ment’s warning the signal for which will be the. tolling of the city bells. The organization ofable-bodied citizens into a working corps will he perfected with the aid of of the city authorities, and details made from day to day such as may be necessary to equalize the burden, and require from each man a proper amount of labour daily. The Press announced last evening its temporary suspension. .The city is quiet to-day. ' . Gen.,IIeath is reported at Williams- town, thirty miles from here, with 15,000 men... ' ST. PAUL, Sept. 6. Major Prince arrived here last night with despatches from Fort Ridger to Thursday, Sept. 4; Capts. Grant and Anderson with a small party of infantry and cavalry were attacked by 250 savages, 18 miles from Fort Ridglcy. During the fight the whites managed to throw up breastworks of dead horses and earth, and held out untl Col. Sibley came to their rescue and drove the Indians back. Six- teen whites were killed and forty-seven wounded. Most. of the killed were from St. Paul. Before the' engagement Capt. Grant’s party buried 85 of the massacred. One woman had lain in the woods two weeks unburied. A Capt; Vanderh'ook', commanding at Ft. Abercrombie, writes that a large number of Indians had appeared around the fort and carried off all the government mules and cattle belonging to that post. He is compelled to keep his entire force on guard all night, and also says that unless rein- forcements appear soon he will be com- pelled to abandon that post. WASHINGTON, Sept. 9. 0:?Sccretary Stanton and Gen. McClel- lan are on such good terustnat the latter took tea with the former on Saturday even- lnge ' GUNpowDan Dus'rnovun AT WINCHES- Tan. "I‘he fort at Winchester, containing- twelve tons of gunpowder. has been blown up. Itliterally shook the earth for miles around. Nearly every window in the town was broken by the concussion; the plaster from the ceilings fell down. The enemy obtained no supplies. Our people burned the railway depot at Winchester, with all the commissary stores.’ a DARING DASH AT WASHINGTON. ’ The New York World's correspondent, writing on the 6th, records the followâ€" ing:â€" ‘ Last night a most daring rebel cav- alry raid was made within three miles of Washington at a place well known as Hall’s Cross Roads. This place is some two miles inside the outer lme of forts, and within two miles from Fort Corcoran. 'l‘weuty-five prisoners were taken belong- ing to one of the New York Cavalry regi- ments.’ A MARYLAND CONEEDERATE GUIDING THE nNnuv. ‘Bradley T. Johnston, a former resi- dent and attorney-at-law at Frederick City, and who joined the Confederates, with fifty or sixty adherents, some months since, it is stated has been promoted to a Colonelcy, and is the advance guide of the Confederate force. ‘ He is a shrewd man and understands the position he occupies, as he told those who joined his company, before leaving Maryland, that the act they were about to commit was 'treason, and that all who felt unwilling to stand by him should then make known their intention to stand by him or stay behind. About thirty out of a hundred refused to go on with him, leav- ing sixty in the company who united their fortunes with his. ' ‘ A familiarity with thissection of coun- try undoubtedly makes him a useful man to the Confederate cause just now.’ A correspondent of the Tribune pre- serves lne following incidents:â€" The army was retreating from Centre- ville. The battle was fought against a rebel force that had penetrated five miles nearer Washington than our rear, and was moving to strike upon the flank. Gen. Stevens’ division, the advance of Reno’s corps, was on the left of the road taken by the trains, and intercepted the enemy. He saw that the rebels must be beaten back at once, or during the night they would stampede the waggons, and probably to disconcert our retreat that the last divi- sions would fall a prey to their main force. He decided to attack immediately, at the same time sending back for 'support.â€" Having made the dispositions, he led the attack on foot at the head of the 79th (IIighlanders.) Soon meetinga wither- ing fire, and the Color-Sergeant, Sandy Campbell, a grizzled old Scotchman, be- ing wounded, they faltered. One of the color guards took up the flag, when the General snatched it from him. The wounded Highlander at his feet cried, ‘ For God’s sake, General, don’t you take the colors; they’ll shoot you if you do 1’ The answer was, ‘ Give me the colors l-â€"-â€" If they don’t follow now. they never will;’ and he sprang forward, crying, ‘ We are all Highlanders : follow Highlanders; forward my Highlanders? The High- landers did follow their Scottish chief, but while sweeping forward a ball struck him on his right temple. He died instantly. An hour afterward, when taken up, his hands were still clenched around the flag _ staff. A moment after seizing the colors, his son, Captain Hazzard Stevens, fell wounded, and cried to his father that he was hurt. \Vith but a glance back, that Roman father said; ‘I can’t attend to you now, Hazzard. Corporal Thompson, see to my boy.’ WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.--â€"Thc Depart-~ ment of the North-west, to which Major- General Pope has been assigned. includes Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Dacotah, with the troops raising and to be raised therein, under his command. His head quarters are at St. Paul, Minnesota. LEAVENWORTH, Sept. 9.-â€"â€"On Satur- day night Quantrell, with a force variously estimated at from 200 to 1,000, entered Olatho, Johnson Co., Kansas, and at last accounts still held the place; several stores were robbed. The office of the Mirror newspaper was demolished and fifty recruits from Kansas regiments captured. Governor Robinson has issued a pro- clamatiou calling upon all citizens of the State to organize and arm for home do- fence. ' Intelligence from Dacotah and the up- per Missouri, indicates scrious Indian hostilities. Governor Joyne of Dacotah, issued a proclamation on the 30:h ult., calling on the settlers to organize, - Two men, Judge Amsden and his son, had already been killed. General Blunt received a thSpalCl'l yes- the mother country, Among our, teiday from Joyne, dated Sioux City,’ Sept. 6th, which says the Indians made an attack that morning within three miles of Yanktown, the capital of the territory. The courier bringing the despatch to Sioux city, with an escort of ten men, had a fight with twenty Indians. ten miles from Yanktown. The Governor calls for a regiment, arms, and ammunition, as a general In- dian war is feared. New YORK, Sept' 10.â€"-â€"Tlie (Times. publishes Gen. Pope’s report of the re- cent battles in Virginia. He severely censures the conduct of Fitz John Porter, but speaks in the highest terms of the zeal and energy of Generals McDowell, Banks, Reno, Heintzelman, Hooker and Kernney. He attributes the disaster of Saturday, jointly to the bad conduct of Porter and the failure of McClellan to send him sup- plies. On these points he says:â€"-‘I do not hesitate to say, that if the corps of Porter had attacked the enemy in flank on the afternoon of Friday. as he had my written order to do, we should utterly have crush- ed Jackson before the forces under Lee could have reached him. Why he did not do so I cannot understand. Our men, much worn down by hard service and con tinuous fiighting for many previous days, and very short of provisions, rested on their guns. Our horses had no forage for two days. ] had telegraphed and written urgently for rations and forage to be sent us, but on Saturday morning before the the action Was resumed, [received a letter from Gen. Franklin, written the day be- fore at Alexandria, stating to me that he had been directed by Gen. McClellan to inform me that rations and forage for my command would be'loaded into the cars and available waggons as soon as I would send a cavalry escort to Alexandria to bring them up. All hope of being able to maintain my‘ position, whether victorious or not, vanished with this letter. My caValry was utterly broken down by long service in the face of the enemy. and bad as they were, they could not be spared from the front, even if there had been time to go back 30 miles to Alexandria, and await the loading of the trains. At the time this letter was written, Alexan- dria was swarming with troops, ,and my whole army interposed between that place and the enemy. I at once understood that we must, if possible, finish what we had to do that day, as night must see us behind Bull Run if We wished to save our men and animals.’ onday.

IT has been a subject of general re- mark, that a large number Of Caâ€" nadians, perhaps the majority, ex- hibit a dispositiOn to sv'mpalhize with the South, in its efforts to se- cede from the Union. The ques- tion is sometimes asked how it happens that a people who have al- ways been opposed to slavery, should desire to see the slave- holding states successful in a con- test with those who aim at the abo- lition of the ‘peculiar institution.’ That such a feeling does exist to a considerable extent in this coun- try, cannot be denied ; and that it is. not confined to. any particular political party, is equally true.â€" But this is not to be wondered at, and it does not require any great amount of penetration to discover its cause. We are British subjects, and profess a strong attachment to the British crown, and a love for the institutions and government of neighbors, it has of. late been. the fashion to hold up to ridicule and contempt, everything pertaining to England or Canada. The down- fall of the one and the subjugation. of the other to the sway Of the American eagle, are events they are never tired of predicting, and which are to be brought about by their instrumentality, just in pro- portion as success raises the spirits of the Union party, the cry Of oppo- silica and hatred towards Great Britain becomes louder and more bitter. Because England would not permit the sanctity Of her flag to be invaded in the case of the Trent affair; "because she thought proper to vindicate her rights, her conduct was characterized as cow- ardly, overbearing and dictatorial. She was taking undue advantage of their weakness, it was said, in demanding the rendition of the cap- tured Commissioners. They vow- ed eternal hatred towards En'gland, declared they wbuld never forget the insult, and that they would be avenged so soon as the rebellion was put down. Neutrality is com , strued into ' antagonism, and a de- sire tO see peace resmred is attri- buted tola selfish motive. Is It then to be wondered at that Canadlans Should feel a sort of leaning. towards the Confederate cause ? It would be contrary to the first dictates of human nature, that we should rejoice to hear of South- ern disasters and toss up our caps and cheer at the success of a people who profess 'to be our deadly foes. Nations are not much addicted to practice literally the injunction, ‘love your enemies.’ And Ca- nada will scarcely be expected to become an exception to the general practice. Kindly offices and civil department engender kindness and civility; generosity creates for- bearance ; and the reverse of these will in turn produce Opposite re- sults. If the Americans cultivate a friendly feeling towards British subjects, they may expect'friend- Ship in return. But if they prefer to stigmatize our people, our insti- tutions and our government, we are not so utterly â€".contemptible and pusillauimou‘s as to turn round and Wish them success in their under- takings. and pray that disasger__ (shall overtake their enemies. ., ‘Let us suppose for a moment that the South were subdued,,tlie Union restored, and the United States once more" in a state of peace. The Federal Government would possess an immense stand- ing army. Many of her prominent men-Mould dikemot‘hiug better than an inroad into Canada. tainly favor such a movement.â€" The ‘ manifest destiny of the Great Republic ’ and her right to Canada is the constant theme of the public orators, and of the most popular portion of 'the American press.â€" Now we have not the slightest idea that our neighbors will ever invade our territory, but the avowal on their part of a. desire to do'SO must inevitably create bitterness and: ill- feeling between the th0 countries: Ifyour neighbor openly declares his intention forcibly to possess himself of your goods, as soon as more pressing engagements will permit, you will not feel much disposed to wish that these engagements should soon terminate. You will not be inclined to rejoice at any circum- stance likely in afford him the lea- sure to put his nefarious design into execution. The Americans them- selves have caused this unfriendly feeling in England 8: this country.of which they complain ; and although perhaps it would be most prudent on our part neither to manifest joy or regret at the varying fortunes of the two contending parties, yet, as Lord Russell said of Englishmen in his despatch to the American Se- cretary, “ the peOple of this country are accustomed to express their Opinions freely.” ‘ Midland Division Election. Sheriff Jarvis has received the writ for the election of a Member of the Legislative Council, to re- present the ,Midland Division.â€"~ _ The Nomination willltake place at Bradford, on the 2‘6th instantâ€"â€" The polling will commence on the 3rd Of October, and"terminate on the evening Of thelollowing day. - b“*“"""~" AT the Division Court held at Markham Village on Friday, the 5th inst., the suit of James Eck- ardt vs. the Municipality of Mark- ham, for recovery of money paid ‘as arrears of Taxes, was disposed of by a verdict for the defendants.â€" The above we believe to be a just decision, as the municipality had advanced the money on Mr. Eck‘ aidt’s property for School Taxes, and had never been reimbursed. TEMPERANCE FESTIVAL. ~--- The Temperance Societies Of Vaughan, including upwards of nine Divi- sions of S. Of T. and Lodges of G. T., intend holding a Grand Festival in Mr. Smith’s grove, adjoining the Village of Buiwick, on. Saturday, the 20th instant. A Brass Band will attend, and everybody antici- pates a good time.

The Clerk was directed to supply this forthwith. By-law No. 137 to sanction the sale of a part of the Original Road allowance, between lots 5 and 6, in the 3rd concession, was then passed.

Editor of the York Harm} Simâ€"Permit me, through the columns of your jOurnal, to reply to some incor- rectstatements,made by a teacher relative tO'the last Examination, Which-are calcu- lated to mislead the public mind-with re- gard to the manner in which the Exami- nations are conducted at Richmond Hill. As I was a spectator at- the last Exami- nation, I had a good' opportunity of ob- serving what took place; and'in justice to the teachers’ examined, and the examiners, I must say that I never witnessed a more stringent examination, either at Richmond Hill, Newmarket, or Toronto. ,As 1 have attended five examinations as a spec- tator, and have been examined the same number of times myself, it will be no pre- sumption on my part to say that I know considerable about them. It was impos- sible for the examiners to seat the reach- ers as they should be, for want of room; but as soon as the examination commenced, the candidates wercwarned, that if any of the parties were observed copying, who were seated together, they would receive no marks for the question copied, and from what the exnminers said, I should judge that the copiers will receive their reward. I have been examined twice at Richmond Hill, and thrice at Toronto; and, as I always Obtained a higher certie ficate at the latter place, I prefer being examined there. ‘ The only reasons that I can give for my better success at Toronto than at the Hill are, that the gentlemen who compose the Board in the city do not examine the paperaso” minutely as those of Richmond Hill ; and it may be‘that the teacher who wrote the communication in the last issue _ol the Herald, thinks that the Board has acted too stringentiy with him, and be thus endeavours to be revenged on them. -â€"which is very ungentlemanly not only to the Examiners, but to the teachers ex- amined. I am fully satisfied, (and I know from experience) that the Board .of,,.Ex.- or. will license any one as a teacher w'lib sider them the most stringent examiners in the County of York. I knew two young ladies who were examined at New. market and obtained Second Class A’s; but at a subsequent eXamination at the Hill, they only obtained a Third Class. which is a proof that the examiners at the Hill are more stringent than these at Newmarket. I also know several teach- ers living near Richmond Hill who went to Newmarket to be examined on the 27th ultimO. because. .theymonsideredhi; , easier. There is a member of the Toronto Board of Examiners (who was formerly a teacher, and who obtained a First Class certificate by copying) that is one of the best at watching copiers, because he knows their acts well; and, therefore, I should judge, that if the person who wrote the article in the Herald were a member of the Rich mon_d Hill Board,“"he* would.,pr,eyent all the copying,sin¢ie he is so .well acquaintpd with the “proceedings of'lhe’copiers.’ I would suggest to the Board, that they should not allow spectators for the future; and they wrll thus prevent any ren‘iarks' and misrepresentations, which are injuri- ous to the Teachers examined. and an: pleasant to themselves.

King. came off last night, at the Temper- ance Hall, which was well filled by highly respectable parties from the surrounding neighborhood. ’ Mr. Isaac Snider Was called to the. chair. Mr. Gamble also arrived, after the chair had been taken, and took his seat among the audience. The chairman then introduCed Mr. ,Mc- Master to the meeting, with a few brief remarks. That gentleman then proceeded in a lengthened harangue, derived principally from the columns of the. Globe news- paper for years back, to enlighten those in attendance as to the finan- cial state of the Province, going minutely into detail upon the pen- knife and red-tape corruption.â€" He charged upon the late Ministry all the profligaie expenditure from the creation of the world to the pre- sent time, including the indemnity paid to the Seigneurs of Lower Ca- nada, and which the coaliton Ministry, ought, in his opinion, to have secured by mortgage on the farms of the Censitairs !! This was followed by an attack upon Mr. Gamble, whose conduct he declared highly reprehensible. Next came a declaration of his (Mr. McMas- ter’s) wealth and untold property in all parts of the Province, and finally, he wound up with an eulo- gium upon his own loyalty and never ending attachment to British, connect.ion,-~in-as-much as there was no other Government under the ‘sun, where property was so safe.
