It is understood that as the Yeading propositions hitherto advanced by England cannot be accep'od by our administration, Secretary Marcy has undeitaken to prepare a plan of compro mise that is expected to meet the approbation of both governments.

Creat excitement was created among the colored popolation of Cine nuati, on Tuesday sast, by the arrest of a fugitive slave claimed by Mr. Mills, of Kentucky. A bearing was had before Jadge McLean. The evidenee was strongly in favor of the claimant, the negro hav ng hinrel* acknowledged that he was the property of Mr. Mills. The attorn ya for the de- fence bused their arguments upon the anconstita- tionality of the law; but it was of ao avail. The Jude upbeld the law, aud ordered the slave into the custery of his master, by whom he was conveyed to Kentucky. The democratic candidate for Governor of Ten: rerrev has been elected by a majurity of over twenty- two hundred.

The subject is to Le submitted to the cabinet at Washington. The rumors of an alliance between Mexico, Spain snd England are positively denied. An epidemic re- rembling yellow fever was committing fearful ra vagesin the capital of Guerrero. Nearly fourteen thousand tons of coal were last week conveyed to market from the Cumberland miner, by railroad and canal. As an equally active business appears to be now doing in the various other mines throughout the country, the prospect now is that every large city will soon have an ade quate supply of fuel for winter use, despite the drawback occasioned by miners’ strikes in the early part of the season. In another column we publish an interesting ac- count of the feast of the Scandinavians. This class of our adopted citizens have heretofore been little known, and all in regard to this honorable part of our community mast excite especial interest. Tne Chinese Revolution—Christiaalcy of the Insargencs. When Dr. Medburst first suggested that the Chinese insurgents were mainly Christians, and that the rebellion was as much a religious as a political movement, we, in common with the bulk of the British and American press treated the idea as a delusion of an over sanguine mis- sionary. Events, however, have since coa- tributed to strengthen the strange theory. Doeuments purporting, on very tolerable evi- dences, to emanate from the insurgent leaders, have been published in the Chinese journals, and certainly breathe a spirit not only of Chris- tianity. but actually of Protestantism. A sort of creed, to which the most orthodox church- man might subseribe, is ascertained to prevail among the rebels. Narratives, corresponding in every material particular to Biblical history have been widely circulated among them, and appear to enjoy a very extensive share of cre- dence. One of these, in a metrical form, we intend to publish; we commend it to the perusal of the curious student. It coatains many passages which wonld be rather calea- luted, in this meridian, to provoke merriment than to foster a religious spirit. Our devo tional propensities ar tainly not stirred by hearing that— The devil has injured man In a most outrageous mauner 5 Goo is, therefore, displeased, And bas tent his son, [the rebel ehief,} With orders to come down into the world, Having first studied the classics.

Further Sir George Bonham’s recent visit to Nankin affords additional and most valuable support to the notion. Sir George did not land himself, his diplomatic rank precluding him from holding any direct intercourse with the rebels; but bis suite made their way to the in- surgents’ quarters and confirm in every particu- lar the story which Dr. Medburst had previously set on foot.

If on the other hand, the documents published in the Chinese papers, aud the uniform devotion displayed at Nankin be- fore the eyes of the British officers. be mere parts of a cunning scheme to delude foreigners ; then the Chinese are far more able rogues than | any one suspects. Meanwhile the revolution seems an i plished fact. The insurgents are masters of the whole inland country south ot the Yang-tse- keang. Nankin is theirs; and only a few forts | on the river remain in the hands of the [mpe- rialiets. They have taken Amoy, oue of the five ports; and a detachment was daily expected to move against Canton. Pekin alone, with the surrounding country, remains in the possession ot the Emperor; and from the accounts we have received it seems beyond @ doubt that it is destined, ere long, to follow the example of the scuthern cities, Though the conduct of the insurgents has been, in many instances, sanguin- ary and cruel, they have displayed great for- Leurance towards the mercantile interests, aad appear actuated on the whole by a friendly regard for foreigners. Fear has naturally car- tailed the operations of the tea growers and pedlers of the interior; and from letters from Heng Kong we learn that these apprehensious were not confined to the Chinese alone. But, hitherto, no act has been performed, either by the insurgents or the imperialists, by which toreigners will sufler direct injury. It is to be hoped that our next intelligence trom Shanghae end Canton will present an equally satisiv- tory state of things. Of Mr. Marshall we bear little or nothing, since he stuck in the mud so proridentially on his way to Nankin, Sir George Ponhkam, the British Envoy, an uncer- tain vacillating ofecer, was glad to hide him self bebind one of the masts of the Hermes, and so protect bis person from the Chinese shot; but, in revenge, he seems to have evinced quite as much sympathy for the insurgent cause as his diplomatic dignity would allow. Other foreign powers are looking on tran- quilly, biding their time. com- Wasurxcton Ivems.—Capt. Gibson has had a talk with the President, has laid his claims be- fore the government for indemnity from the Dutch, and Mr. Belmont, it is understood, will go out to the Hague with some special iustruc- tions on the subject. The Captain is moderate in his demands, only asking some $80,000 in- demuity for the bad treatment and bad faith to which he was subjected by the Dutch authori- ties of Sumatra; and the right and title to a certain coal mine in those parts, from which he thinks he can supply the Australiaa steamers at four or five dollars per ton. We should like to see that coal mine in the posses- sion of an American citizen. The Secretary of War, Gen. Davis, it appears, has gone for the benefit of his health to the White Mountains, and will amuse himselt th fora few days in the inspection of the natura! curiosities thereabouts, and of the operations of the corps of the coast survey etationedt in the neighborhood at this time. George Sanders, it is said. did not get the London Consulate without considerable oppo- sition—from the Premier. we presume.—(Vide the Democratic Review and the old fogies of fast summer.) Rumor further has it that there is another old fogy who will be apt to remem- ber George in the Senate. We hopenot. We would suggest rather that the meeting of Con- gress shall be made the occasion for a forma, treaty of peace between Young America and the old fogies and all other cliques. clans, and individuals of the democracy, excepting Old Bullion. He rust be left out, or there will be no fun. Meantime we think George Sanders will make a good Consul, and if he should revive his Review in London, he may give a new and sue- cessful start to Kossuth and the Chartists. Who knows? ‘The newsmongers about the White Hous farther declare that they think they smell a rat in regard to the mission to France, and that Mr, Dix, after all, will not be appointed, from free- toi] coasiderations. Curious affair, that, any way. We still suspect. however, from the very mystery in which itis involved, that the ad- ministration does not want to offend Mr. Dix, aud do not desire to distract the democracy in the North. And so the mission hangs fire. eh? Nous verrons. We published a despatch yesterday stating that Mr. Thomas Butler King had failed to sa- tisfy Mr. Guthrie in his explanation of the defi- cit alleged to be due to the Treasury from the aid gas the lute Collector of San Francis- co. Well, if there is a deficiency, and Mr. King cannot command the money, we should like to know what theSecretary ofthe Treasury is going todo about it. That's all.

In proof of the sincerity of our endeavoriogs, we had, a few days since, the gratificutiou of ia- forming our readers that at leagth a system had been invented, and was beiag perfected, by which it was hoped we would be euabled to meet the vastly increasing demand upon us. The system was one proposed to us by an arti- zan of our city—Mr. J. L. Kingsley—aud con- sisted of stereotyping. by means of a compouad of gutta percha. with per-oxide of iron aud pe oxide of antimony, thereby duplicating out furms and consequently, with the use of a second steam press, doubliag our facilities of production. Since the appearauce in our columus of the article referred to, we have re- ceived the following commuuicatioa from Mr, C. J. Gilbert, statiug that the iaveation ef Mr, Kingsley is an infringemeut of the rights con- veyed in what is known as Broomau’s pateat. TO THS EDITOR OF THE HEKALD.

T. Auusrrona. So much for the gutta percha system of stereotyping, the efficiency of which still re- mains to be proved. We have. however. sap- plied Mr. Kingsley with a columa of matter tor the purpose ot making an experiment of the plan proposed by him, and shall be able to let our readers know the result thereof io the course ota week or ten days. If he don’t sue- ewed, we shall still have hopes in Messrs, Gil- bert and Armsirong. The publication in our columns of Mr. Kings ley’s echeme has had another good effect, whieh may render an infringemeut of the Brooman patent wholly unnecessary. It has prought us another proposal from a stereotyping tirm in this city, in which it is asserted that, by the adoption of their plan, we will be able to print off in two hours and a quarter an issue of tifty thousand copies, the priuting of which by our present mode, requires tive hours, or in other words, that, by their plan, we can print up- wards of twenty-two thousand an hour—so that we could supply a hundred thousand copies of the Herato in less time than we can now sup- ply half that number. The following isa copy of this latier pro. posal :— Mu James GORDON BannetrT :— > Sin—in order to accomplish the printing of fifty thousand copies of the HekaLp in two hours wine, We propose Voug so by the tollowing ietuod, pre- Misiug that our process is ueituer new gor aulried in Unis particular branch of printing, as the newspaper La Fatrie, iv Pans, is now pruted by our process, but without miuny essential improvements invented ud posressed sulely by ourselves :— We propore to make stereotypes of the HeeaLp formu in the sutue metal as wow used in etereutyplug.

Cxaske & Duncan, Stereotypers, 22 Spruce street. New York, August 17, 1593. We have much confidence in the ability of Messrs. Craske and Dunean to perform what they protess, and we have more faith in the feasibility of their plan than ia that of the gutta- percha stereotyping. But even if both these plans fail, we learn that there are two other reserve; so that the public may be assured that what art, ingenuity and perseverance can do, to enable us to mect the immense demand for the Hera» against whieh we have now to con- tend, will be done, and that it will not be our fault if the justly founded complaints as to its late delivery be not henceforth rendered unne- . in cessary.

Bat if the de- mocracy are satistied. we guess that our corres- pondent will live through it. We also publish a letter from Mr. George W.

We have to say, however, that the corres- pondent in this case was not ours, but the news agent at Washington of the associated New York press, Still, haviag published his accusations, we cheerfully give place to Mr, Ewing’s reply. Tux Uxton ann Mr. Cusninc.—The Wash- ington Union is trying to spoil one of the late speeches of Mr. Attorney Geveral Cushing oa “manifest destiny,” by cutting it down to the standard of the “glorious example of our in- stitutions.” Why so? Why not let it stand? It was the “manifest destiuy” of Rome to march, march, march! It is now our destiny to become the mistress of the world, or the “modern Rome.” And what if we have to fight for it? Have we not the example of ancient Rome? Let the speech stand.

The Coroner's Inquest—Verdict of the Jury. Provipence, August 17, 1853. The Coroner’s Jury upon the bodies of the victima in the late railroad collision on the Providence and Worcester railroad, fixed upon their verdict this fore- noon, and at 6 o'clock I obta’ned possession of the document from the Coroner, The document states that the jury are of opinion: That the said collisi-n was occasioned by the cal- pable carelessness, nexvericice, and want of jadg- ment of Frederick “. Pituam, conductor of the Uxbridge tram, 1 teiving the ststion at Valley Falls when he had. oy ois ‘ime but four minutes to reach the Bostoy switch, wich, we say, Was a disre- gard of the company's orders and instructions; in not providing hinsel! wilh a suitable and correct watch, bis wateh j.oving t be two minates behind the time, aud yet it had been set by the company’s \ at Providence the night before toe colli-ion took place. e Plame the marugers of the road for appointing: so young and ivexperivace) a uianas Ur. Putnam to be conductor «t the Uxbridve train, one of the most difficult, if not the aiost diflic dt train to man- age ou the road, vod ou which was involved the Breatest rick Of Luu sive We blame the nunoser- for not ascertaining that every conductor was provided with a suitable and correct watch to run their tans by, and for not as- certaining why the Uxtridse train, sinee is had beep under the charge of Mr. Putnam, bad aliost invariably been beiuud its time, aud applying the remedy. We say that the train ‘rom Providence, in which was the President and superiuteudent of the Rail- road Compasy, with ao experienced oondastor, should have started trom the Bo-ton switch the very second the signul Wa kiven; by so doing it might have reached in the of unsate which was delayed a point on the road Where vou have seen mn aizat trom the Valley Pulis station, md the great calami- ty would probably have teen prevented; which de- Jay we sry is attribut to the conductor of the Providence train permi ting eagineer Freeman and the brakeman to be ab eut iro their post when the Signal was given to stact Finally we say that the whole management of the trains is bad. There it no necessity of crowding the trains so near upon the time of the train from Boston. Phat the special rule in resird to the trains at this point is inutliviest, and that some tignal north of the curve, sad in sight of the Valley Falls station should tive been used to warn the U x- bridge train of the apjr ach of the train trom Pro- vider The use of such siguals would have pre- vented the sad catastrophe The following is the -pecie! rule alluded to, and is embodied in the testiuiony of Mr. Southwick, before the Coroner :— cut Rei —The s ing paverger trata from ww dence wil nor pas Ueto switeh,’? if the Ux- bridge train is due at the - sven, cant five minutes be- hind ita table ime wtter shat oe wt will 06 entided to the track, and the Uxbrey » mit kee@o Out of the way. ISAAC H SOULUWICK Superintendent Superintendeny’s Offies of?) viaeue aad Worcester R Kena dine 10, 1863 Mr. Putnam was arrested this afternoon by order of the Coroner, to answer t» a charge of manslaugh- ter at the term of the Supreme Court, in September next. The trial ot Mr. Putuam will develope more facts in regard to the managewent of the rod than are at present dreamed oi: and 4 jury of twelve men may not choose to let the company off with so sight a rebuke as that implied by tue Coroner's jury. The discharge of Mr Stevens from the clilse of master of transportation is the subject of comment, and is generally pronouneed an act of injustice on the part ¢f tbe Board of Daectors. Mr. 3. will pro- bably demacd a legal investization of the faste touching his diseharge, aud then there will probably be more music tor the ruilroad mauagers.
