A heavy typhoon at Hong-Kong on the 7th of July was away large sections of the sea-wall at that place, and did other dam- age. The shipping in the harbor escaped serious damage. The loss of the British schooner Pearl in the typhoon was confirmed. Of twenty-tnree persons on board only one was saved. It was reported that the rebels had assembled in considerable force in the up- per portion of the province of Nankin, and that the imperial troops sent against them had been defea ed with considerable loss. Ad- vices from Hakodadi report a collision between the Russians and Japanese, in which fire of the former were killed. A sledging party of Japanefe drove into a Russian encampment. The Russian troops beat the intruders, who de- fended themselves with swords. Five Ohina- men at Hong-Kong had been sentenced to death bad o murder of the crew of the Danish bark rl. The child Lillie Davison, whose abduction by an abandoned woman of Cineinnat created a great sensation several months ago, bas been recovered in Chicago. The child was stolen from her bed bya man named White, and was entrusted to the care of a woman named Mollie Stanley. This woman fled from city to city with the little girl, sometimes dress- ing her in boy’s garments. She was in Louis- villeand Jeffersonville forawhile, thence pro- ceeded to Cairo, Memphis, and New Orleans, and then North again to Chicago. Lillie has been restored to her parents.

The elections under Governor Wells’ recent proclamation, to fill vacancies in the conven- tion of 1865, will take place on the day desig- nated. Governor Welis will promptly re- move all authorized gentlemen who do not in good fzith cause the elections to be held. The brass foundry of E. Coughlin and the extensive candy factory of Hessel, Nyer & Hymans, on Locust street, between Main and Second, St. Louis, were burned Saturday night. The loss to the latter was merely by water, but nearly complete. The total loss was nearly $40,000; mostly insured. During the pic-nic of the Clifton Park Sab- bath School at Presque Isle, three miles below Toledo, Ohio, Thursday, a party consisting of five young persons crossed the river in a small boat, and while attempting to return to the Isiand the boat swamped, and all put one were drowned.

NIAGARA FALLs, Sept. §.—The President this morning accepted an invitation to visit St. Louis. He will leave Chicago on Friday morning for Springfield, and stopping at the latter city till evening, then take the train for St. Louis and spend next Sunday there. The President was waited on by a delegation from Buffalo, with ex-President Fillmore as their cbairman. Bur Fao, Sept.3.—We were met atthe de- ps by thousands of people and with cheers. any houses were tastetully adorned with flags and transparencies. Thousands of peo- ple were anxious speetators. Cheers and the waving of handkerchiefs were trequent trom the sidewalks and windows. The procession after passing along the princi streets reached Niagara Squareatilo’clock. Thereit was received by the military in long lines, The scene was one of the most animating char- acter, and brilliant in ap; . The President and party were conducted to a tastefully adorned platiorm, and after com- boris order had been restored ex-President illmore introduced the President, who, in bis speech, said: “ After the war ended, the South said they were willing to accept the terms of the Goy- ernment, to be obedient to the Constitution, and to receive the protection of the Union. They wanted to bea part and parcel of the United States again. I said this: ‘Obey the Constitution. submit to the laws, and let us all become one people again.’ “The work progressed; the States met in con- vention aud revised their constitutions; their Secor met and did the three things re- quired. « Now that the apple of discord is removed; Dow that they are willing to accept of our terms; now that they acknowledge obedience to the Cons’ tion and laws; now that they are willing gyen to heip in payment of the debt that hag been incurred; now that they are willing te e up the flag of the United States and the Constitution of the country, let us go together to @ common altar, and let allelse per- ish for the preservation of the Government. It was not in my nature or in my heart to say, under those circumstances, that they were not a part of the Government. “This great Government cannot get along Without the South, without the North, the East, and the West. Large as it is, it is not Jarge enough to divide: ‘eshould have no division but to go on with the work of resto- ration, and resume our career of prosperity and greatness.” At the conclusion of the President's 5; bh the party were escorted to the house of Mayor Wallis and partook of a collation. Afterward the procession reformed, and the Presidential party were escorted to Lake Shore Depot, where at I o’clock they took the cars for Cleveland, where they will arrive at 9 o’clock this evening. When the party neared this city the scene of the recent Fenian raid was point- ed outtothem. The military display in Buf- est to-day was one of the finest ever got up ere. + Rom CanaDa. cape of siz Fenian Prison- ers.—A dispatch states that Ottawa, Canada, was startled on Sunday by the tel hic an- nouncement that Mike Murphy and five of his principal companions, all Fenians, had es- caped trom the jail at Cornwall and made their Way across the riverto the United States. Extras were wrest issued, and the greatest excitement prevailed at that moment. It appears that the escape was effected Satur- day night during a heavy rain storm. through an aperture made by the prisoners in the wall of their cell. Theré was & whole company of soldiers on duty around the prison, which, besides, is considered the most secure in Canada. A double line of sentinels guarded the pison night and day. A large camp was in the vicinity, and the gunboat Royal watched toe river. The escape of the prisoners is therefore regarded as the next thing to a miracle. Some are of the opinion that the Government connived at the matter to get rid of the responsibility of dealing with the prison- ers; others that there were Fenians among the guard, and others that they must have been drunk or asleep. The greatest indignation is felt, and intelligent Canadians say that they and their militia will now become the laugh- img stock both of the Fenians and the Ameri- cam people. Faint hopes are still entertained tbat Marphy and his companions may not yet have succeeded in making their way to the United States. Canadaisin bad temper just now. AMENDING THE MARYLAND STATE ConstTI- TUTION.—The Governor of Maryland has is- sued his proclamation giving notice that, by the resolution adopted by the General Assem- bly of 1865, proposing an amendment to the Constitution by striking out the sixth section will be sub- voters at the section mitted to the vote of the quali: in November. The proposed to be struck out provides that a tax of five cents'in the $100 shall be levied roperty in ‘State for the crea- ‘tion of a tdhoat fond, until anid school fand. to The above tax, having any provisien therefor. wa"Col.

HEART’s ConTENT, Sept. 2.—The news ofthe successful picking up of the Atlantic telegraph cable of 1865 reached here at forty-five min- utes afier six o'clock this morning. Theexpe- dition with the Great Eastern had been out twenty-four days, and all hope of success had been abahdoned by the telegraph people here. The cable was recovered in eighteen hun- dred fathoms of water, according to Captain Moriarty’s chart, and in latitude 51 deg. 52 min., longitude 46 deg. 3 min., or about seven hundred miles trom Heart's Content. Her Britannic Majesty's steamer Terrible is ex- eiage here at any moment with despatches irom the Great tern and the triumphant fleet. The news reached Valentia at forty minutes past five o'clock, one hour and five minutes before it was received here. Signa!s are sent through the cable with perfect ac- curacy, and we are talking,;with the Great Eastern every moment, via Valentia, in lre- land. Aboutthree hours after the recevery of the cable the splice was made with the cable stowed in the main tank of the Great Eastern, and the lowering of the cable into the sea im- mediately took place. The “big ship” is now saying out the wire and approaching Meart's tent on her return at about the same rate of speed as she maintained inthe former late expedition. The telegraph fleet 1s expected here next Saturday. The news ofthe recovery of the cable created a great sensation here, and though received at an hour when scarcely any one was astir it spread in a few minates throughout the village. The British and American flags were immediately hoisted over the telegraph station as signais of joy by Messrs. Lundy, Waddell, Trippe, Roche, Grant, and Toussant, amid great cheering. ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS.—Twelve marriage licenses were issued in this county, during the menth of August. Notwithstanding there was but a few hours notice given of the meeting, called on Saturday night, yet it was well attended by the business men and workingmen of our city, and a more harmonious and enthusiastic ering we have not seen since the war. The meeting was presided over by John M.
