The Liverpool l’osl asserts that Thos'. S. Scrrill, who was arrested at New York, must have been imprisoned under a misconception. Sonic correspondence of Mr. Scrrill’s has been forwarded to A me- rica, to prove conclusively that he (Zlilr. has no political mission, and that the money found on him was his own.

The Times thus praises and advises Lord Elgin as Governorâ€"General of fn- dia :-â€"â€"~ “ LOrd Elgin has been tried in good and evil, in prosperity and adversity. He has seen much of the surface of this world and of the men who inhabit it, and has greatly profited by what he has seen. in both Houses of Parliament, in Canada, in Ja‘ macia, in China, he has become acquainted with every kind of Government and every variety of manners. ft is only just of him to say that, in a career so chequered and 80 various, success has uniformly followed his footsteps, and that he has achieved in the walk of life which he has selected for himself a reputation which there is no one to dispute with him, He goes to lndia in the full vigor of llf‘,til011gll rich in ac- cumulated experience. We do not doubt that the selection has been made entirely with a view to merit, and that within the narrow- range to which custom has of late years restricth the chemo of a Governorâ€" u‘s‘ncial no more pioniisirfl " "Hlidate could no apology for cxpressing'tlie hope that ,cutta, or the extravagant praise or vitu. have been found. At the same time, Lord lillgin has not held so many situations, and appeared so long and so prominently before the public, without giving us some idea not only of his merits, but of his faults. We are no courticrs, and, therefore, shall make- Lord idlgin will not suffer himself to be turned-to the right or to the left by the flatteries of the English society of Calâ€" peration of'the Indianpress. A ruler. of. India should dare, if it. be necessary. fer the sake, of his high and sacred trust, even to'be unpopular. Lord Canning has dared this, andtlie opinion of England has sup- ported him against the torrent of vitupera- tion by which at one time he seemed likely to be overwhelmed; but let Lord Elgin beware of too much sensitiveness to praise or blame, and, above all things, let him be~ ware of the unpardonable weakness in a great man of praising himself. Let him remember that the theatre on which he stands is so conspicuous, that he cannot escape blame for all the evil which he may do, and that for all the good he will reap an amount of praise which needs not his voice to swell its volume. His predeces- sor has achieved his present elevated posi- tion in the public eye by a firm devotion to duty'and an heroic abncgation of self. \Ve trust the lesson will not be lost. THE GREAT EXHIBITION or 1862.â€" Evcry day now adds visibly to the growth of the stupendous structure which is being bolted together with such rapidity at South liensington. Of the thousands of columns girders, brackets, and railings of cast iron, nearly onetourtli are already actually in tlieir'places. The remainder are being rapidly forwarded, and all are to be deli- vered on the, ground before the 30th of September, at which time the delivery (f the ironwork for the exhibition of 1851 was only just commencing. in all, about £13000 tons of cast iron will be required, and it reflects no small credit on Mr. Bar- row, of Siavely, who has been intrusted with this portion of the works, that he has been enabled to complete all these castings of first-rate quality in such an exaeedingly short time. The columns are of unusual size and strength. There are 1,100 of them, and if laid end to end, they would reach from South Kensington to't'ne Crys- tal Palace at Norwood. Early in Octo- ber, the Picture Gallery will be all roofed in, so that. the valls will have ample time to dry before the grand opening on Thursâ€" day, the 1st of May next. By the 12th of February, he building will be comple- ted and formally handed over to the Royal Commissionersâ€"~a happy occasion, which, we hear, wille duly celebrated by the great contractors, Messrs. Kelk and Lu« cas, with a kind offete in the centre nave. After the 30th of next month, no further applications for space will be received by the commissioners, no matter from what quarter they may come. .__.. ‘ , ROBBERY or £16,000.â€"-â€"-A short time ago a man, namedJolm William Rinshnow, .a messenger in the Dusseldorf branch of the bank of Prussia, was sent to the post- oflice for a letter which, as he was confi- dentially employed by the manager, he knew contained a large sum of money. Besides procuring the letter, he had to make one or two other business visits be- fore he returncd to the bank. Two or three hours having elapsed without his maâ€" king his appearance, the bank authorities became alarmed, and made inquiries about him. It was then discovered that he had obtained the letter, that he did not make the other calls, and that he. had absconded with the whole of the money, amounting to £16,000. A minute search having failed to discover the dcpredator, an officer was dispatched to Cologne. There infor- mation was obtained which led to the be- lief that he had escaped to London,wliere it is believed that he will have no difficulty in disposing of the notes. Spitall, of the 'Ij'ondon detective force, has been employed to make inquiries about the criminal, and 'ms warned all the respectable money- changers in London to be upon their guard and being supplied with a photograph of Rishnow from Dusseldorf, has exhibited it wherever the robber is likely to turn up. THE HEALTH AND DOINGS OF GARTBALDI. The Dli'ilo of Turin publishes intelli- gence from Caprcra to the 7th. giving st me account of Uaribaldi’s health and opinions on affairs in general 1â€"- “ Gen. Garibaldi, who had been attack- ed with liis rheumatic pains, remained in bed for several days, and until the 4th never left the house. Since that day he has resumed his walks, and now nothing remains of his complaint but a slight pain in his left hand, which will shortly disappear by the use of the vapour bath. Very much grieved at what is going on in Naples, he makes it.flie subject of long conversations with the companions of his solitude, and with the frequent Visitors, ltalian and foreign, who urge him, but in vain, to leave the island. He has for- mally declared that he will not do so un- less compelled by events. lie receives a great number of addresses and letters from all nations who are labouring.)r for the great cause of independence and liberty. Be- quests for advice are sent to him from all sides, and he gives it according to that political intelligence which up to the pre- sent time has prevented him from commit- ing an act which was not for the dignity and welfare of his country. ’FEAiivUL TRAGEDY AT Romaâ€"A private letter from Home states that “ a dreadful and romantic tragedy occurred some nights ago in a large house of four storeys, close by where I. am now writing. THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. (Herald’s Despatch.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 16. While the Government of the United States are doing the best they can under the rules of war to take care of and pro- tect the health of the rebel prisoners now ‘ in their possession, Jeff. Davis, or Beau- regardrorv John-son, or all of them,have sent our prisoners to Castle Pinckney, the nearest fort to the city of Charleston, S. C., where fever prevails extensively at this season of the year. If our officers whom they have taken prisoners and confined in Castle Pinckiiey survive the present season it will be contrary to the well-known theo- ry of Southerners, for they have always asserted as a rcasou why slave labour must be employed, that Northerners could not surviVe the malaiia and fevers that pre- vail in that section. The rebels may sup- pose that the confineincnt of the Union army in Charleston may prove a protection to that place. \Ve shall see. Special to the Tribune. Last evening the rebels approached our left wing in force, and destroyed several grain ricks and other property,and poison~ ed a number of cattle belonging to Union farmers. Later in the evening, under a false al- arm, Gen. Slocum’s brigade was under arms in four minutes. It turned out that several contrabands had arrived on their masters’ horses, and that some of our own men had struggled in the bushes. An intelligent free negro from Fairfax. who arrived here, says the greater part of the rebels are concentrating between Pair- fax and Alexandria, where they have thrown up breastworks. He heard Law- yer Hunter, owner of Hunter’s Mills, say that the rebels would take Arlington Heights and Alexandria this week with €300,000 men, and from thence shell \Vasli- ington. ‘ After the fight at Lewinsville, Beaure- gard was sent for to bring reinforcements from Manassas, as they feared we would overpower them. He came with a con- siderable body of troops. Owing to information received by the Post. Office Department that the Hannibal and St. Joseph road is entirely unprotecâ€" ted from the rebels, and that St. Joseph is in their hands, the California mails are ordered to be carried via Davenport and Council Bluffs. The Department has also received in- formation that all the officers and em- ployees of the Overland Mail Company are rebels. ST. LOUIS, Sept. 16. Monday night last, while a government steamer, name unknown, was conveying a number of prisoners from Lexington to Fort Leavenworth, for better security, she broke her rudder between the Mill and Kansas City, and was obliged to land. Shortly after reaching shore, a company of Jackson County Secessionists seized the boat, releasing the prisoners, and se- cured some forty Federal soldiers as cap- tives. BALTIMORE, Sept. 16. The police are arresting the secession members of the Legislature as fast. as they reach this city on their way to Frederick, so that there will be no quorum to-inorrow. Nearly threeâ€"fourths of both houses are secessionists, and it is presumed that they will all be arrested. The arrests this evening are Messrs. Dennis and fleck'art, of the Senate, and Maxwell, Loutling and lansin of the House. There are now the Senate to be arrested. Many of them cannot be found, and are said to have fled the State. V ._.. WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. Everything is quiet along the lines toâ€"day. Several rebels have been taken prisoners within a few days, and they all assert that Gen. Beauregard has promised the extreme southern or coast troops that if they will not go home, he will movo forward before the 90th and give battle. llo assures them that he will take Vl’ashington Without attacking our works imâ€" mediately in front. This promise is made to keep the troops of the Gulf States from leaving the army. Our spies corroborate the above statement. Jurrunsou CITY, Sept. 17. The correspondent of the St, Louis Democrat Gives the following account of an engagement with the rebels at lioonovillo on the 13th, taken from Captain ldppstein’s official report. The Captain says. after the fight had lasted about an hour, the secessionists whom he had taken an hostages became so restless that they begged him to allow one of their men to go with a flag of truce and ask an armistice. This hostage came back soon al'tOX‘Will'(lS-~\Vllll0 lie was ab- sent, tlio Captain let. his men cease firingâ€"with the request to know his conditions. 1 then [says the Captain] demanded that they should withdraw the secession forces two miles t'ioni the city. and not molest any of our families or those of any other Union people, and to leave the aims of the killed and wounded on the ground where they folkâ€"while f promised to set the prisoners free. with the exception of Preach- er Pointer, who. I informed them, I would shoot. in case they should not lionourably keep their promise for seven days. They left accord- ing to this agreement. I - Thus, the gallant follow, with only 150 men, actually dictated his own terms to fully four times their number. The. enemy only fought well for a little time, and out of the whole six hundred only six could be found to storm the works. Their leaders bravely led the way. but they absolutely refused to follow. Of those six our men killed four. Their two leaders, Col. Brown and his son, Captain Brown, fell so near the entreiichiiionts that our men drew thorn in, and they died instantly. Besides those, the en- omv lost 8 or 10 killed and wounded. A couriorjust from Beoiioville reports that the rebel force was retreating towards Price’s command. ' Besides Colonel Brown and his son, they lost two other captains. Colonel Brown was armed with three eight-inch revolvers, a rifle, a sword and a bowie-knife. The weapons are now iii the possession of Lieut. Peaso. The correspondent of the Ripulilimn says re- liable information has been rccoivod that Lex~ iiigton still hold out on Monday. and had been A husband, coming home suddenly at an slightly reinforced, unwontcd hour, found his wife with a para- inour, who fled from his pursuit through the attic windows to the roof of the house. ,Tllt) enraged husband followed him, grap- pled with him on that giddy height, and both rolled into the street for below. The husband was killed on the Spot; the other will scarcely live. Such things are never mentioned in the public journals here. . 52,000 men from here had ariived at Arrow Rock, but Green and llainos had left, with 5,â€" 000 or €3,000 men, taking a south-western direc~ tion. CINCINNATI, Sept. 18. Last night at 8-30 o’clock. a train on the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, containing a portion of Col.

Sept. 18. The accident on the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad has proved worse than was first report- ed. Four passenger cars went into the Creek, one box, and one baggage car on the top of them, These cars contained 250 men of companies E, F. G. and I. The latter two companies are the principal sufferers . Captain Howard of company i is among the killed. Up to this time about thirty of the dead have been taken out. and more are under the wreck. A train is now on the way here with ninety-two of the wounded, The impression at the wreck is that forty or fifty are killed. The indications are strong that the bridge was tampered with by malicious or traitorous persons. The bridge was (50 foot span. 10 feet high. and was lately inspected. SOUTHERN BARRARXTY.

From the Scottish American Journal. The trade of Canada. like the trade of the mother country, happily increases apnea. The political (:alaiiiity which has prostrated the business of the United States seems up to this time not to have diverted anything from the pockets of the Canadians which they have lii- tlicrto boon receiving. If there be some things which last year the Canadians sold to the Amo- ricaiis for which this year the United States are no market, the Canadians must have found a market for those things elsewhere, or they must have sold some other things in their place. . For we find that the trade of‘thc colony during the first half of the currentyoar is much greater than during the corresponding period of any previous year; and should a like propor- tion be kept up in the remaining half of the year, as seems likely, this will be the most prosperous your Canada has ever seen. Thus the imports for seven months in this your are valued at $912,487,482 against $16,428,734 last yearâ€"a ditioience in favor of this year of about six millions of dollars. The revenue derived from this increased import is, ofcourse. greater. though not relatively so groatas the amount of import. owing to certain reductions of duties llthllg‘ been made this your. Still it amounts to the very respectable increase of $345,333 in tho sovon iiioutlis’ entries. Nor is the increased export trade of Canada much loss striking. True. We have not the exact figures for the seven months; but. from cer- tain returns published We may safely draw the approximate conclusion that the increase is equal to more that ten per cent. ‘l‘heso iigiiios indicate the general prosperity of the countiy. There may, of course, be some branches of trade suffering, some interests in- finial-sly connected with American trade af~ footed by t .o tii:«‘:"..-,l'u!‘i~' which have overwhelm- od business ci: this side of the frontier. But (lopl’u:::i0 ii. Corresponding with this great revival trade is the growth. of commerce and emigra- tion. l‘lio increase of ocean tonnage visiting Quebec this season (up to tho and of July) was some thirty per cent. The coasting trado had more than doubled in the same period; and whereas, fart yoai'.ti,453 omigranta entered Canada, up to .luly 537th, this year by the same time 14,2l": persons had been landed on her shores, all of whom obtained immediate eni- ploymont at good wages. l‘tccklt ssly-miscliovious orstrangolyâ€"tliought- less politicians have done much to injure Ca- nada in the eyes of emigrants by grossly iiiisroprcsentiiig the political and financial con- dition of the country. We have not admired the fiscal policy of the Government; possibly Canada might be governed more economically. But the emigrant who turns away from Ca- nada because {if an outcry against the taxation or the debt or the conduct of the ministry, is diverted by that which is not equal to tho ob~ structivo power of a straw in his path. The debt of Canada. considering flint it has been incurred for great public works, not blown into air in wais, is a more trifle, compared with the ability of the country to sustain it. It was as wise to incur it as for a farmer to borrow money to drain his wot lands. The ministry may not be a company of saints, but where listho ministry ill whom the opposition can see proponderating virtues ’1 But the character of the ministry. be it of one party or the other, or the policy of tho Govern- or liis pocket, to the extent of the duty on the scant supply of bad tobacco lie consumes at those things in tho papers may well scare the unaccustomed 'readcr into a belief that the ruin of the Province is impending. Tho stout of heart and swung of limb may now carve out for himself a home in Canada.wlioro no nriest can tithe his produce, no aristocratic or democratic tyrant can command his person. 1 and no minister and no iiiob can bridle his opinions, l those are isolated and oxctiptional instances of of neither l mcnt, will affect the prospects of the emigrant . homo. though the noise that is made about l l l Kay, painter and decorator, in tliecoursé of some profCSsional experimehts, has made a discovery of considerable importance to coal oil manufacturers andtlic public gen- erally. it consists 'in'tlie‘ substiutionizof coal‘oil for turpentine, in'tlie preparation of paint for immediate or- future use. Most. persons are aware that“: at- pre'Sent, tlioriighout the civilized world; turpentine constitutes fully one half 'the‘fl'uld" tfied‘in thinning and preparing paints for the’brusb. Mr. McKay’s latest experiments littt'ere. sulted in proving that coal oil‘is‘equal, if not superior, to turpentine for this purpose. Pigments ground and mixed in it were“ found to dry as well, and without the slightest injury to colour; white mixed! with it retains all its purity; and in the process known to house painters as “ flat- ting,” it not only worked easier and smoother than turpentine, but gave. a su- perior flush, owing to its greater density and ductility. Coal oil has already super-~ seeded many of older .artificial lighting mediums; it is beginning to (:nt-‘l‘ the en- gine-room as a fabricator; and we believe this discovery of Mr. McKay’s will .cause a revolution in the art of painting. At the present moment turpentine is 80 per gallonâ€"Coal oil from 70 to 80 cents, a strong commercial inducement. ' Mr. McKay, who has no desire to make a sel- fish use of his important discovery,.proo mises to put us in poSsession 0f the results ofliis further experiments in the use of the liner and more delicate and fugitive pigments and bodies used in the higher branches of painting.- Quebec Vindicator. LORD PALMERSTON UPON “BULL’S RUN.â€"-His Lordship at the Banquet giv- en at Dover, consequent upon his installa- tionas Warden of the Cinque Ports thus alluded to the Volunteer movement, and the race at Bull’s Run. “ The example of what has happened across the Atlantic shows that you may collect thousands of men together and put uniforms on their backs and muskets in their hands, but you do not thereby con- vert them into soldiers or into an army (hear, hear); there must be discipline.-â€"â€"- it is enough that there should be-indivi- dual bravery. Why, our cousins in Ame- rica as individual men are as brave at, y that tread the earth. They are of ti same stock as ourselves, they are descend- cd from the same parents. are animated by the same spirit, and prepared to en- counter cqual dangers. But when thou- sands of men as personally courageous as any race in existence get together, each man wanting that confidence in his com- rades which discipline and training can supply, they exhibited to the world that unfortunate rapidity of movement which took place at Bull’s Ptun. (LaughterJ-o That, I say, is no disparagement to the valour of the Americans, but affords, I repeat, a lesson which we ourselves may usefully ponder and remember-â€"viz., that discipline and organiZation are indispensio ' ble to make any army eflicien'tid the field.” Two Houses DROWNED [N THE BAY. â€"-â€"Yesterday an accident occurred at Laid- law’s wharf, by which a young farmer lost a fine pair of horses by their falling into the Bay. It appears that this was his first visit to the wharf in question, and in back- ing the horses the wheels of the waggon went over the edge of the wharf, drag- ging the. horses after it. and they were drowned before they could be got out. The Waggon was got out a short time after the accident. Some of the young man’s neighbours propose raising a subscription to enable him to purchase another span of horses, as he has only been a short time in business.--â€"Globc. Tim HUNDREDTIr.â€"â€"An order . has been issued limiting the enlistment fot‘ the llniidredth Regiment to natiVe Canadians. None else will be admitted. It is gratfying to those who assisted in promoting this marked testimonial of Canadian loyalty to the empire, to know that the regiment is in high favour at the W'ar Office. Some of its members have been promoted to respogsi- tile positions in other branches of the er- vice; and Mr. Henry Jones of Brockville, who entered as a private, and was alter- wards made sergeant, has been promoted- to an cusigncy without purchaserâ€"Pilot. W DEATH FROM DESTITUTION-â€"OD Tuesday morning, Constable 'Darrali found a man name of John Ncclan, a rag-picker lying on the 'ltlsplanade in a very destitute and weekly condition. The man present- ed a very emaciated appearance, and Dar- rah had him conveyed to the Genera! Hospital without tlelay. About three hours after he was taken to the Hospital be expiied. Coroner Tlallowell wasnotr- ficd and held an inquest on the body, :and the jury after investigating the case return- ed as their verdict, “ death from d-cstitution. â€"-Globe. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT \VESToN.-â€"- On the evening of Sunday, the dry goods store of Messrs. C. & W. \Vad’sworth‘, Weston, was broken into, and goods to the amount of between $4300 and $500 ear- iied off. From the number of articles stolen the thieves must have had a horse and waggon to convey the plunder away. EInformation has been given to the police, and it is to be hoped that every effort will be made to ferret out the robbers and bring them to justice.â€"-Globe.
