F., ar- rived at this port on Saturday evening last. She brought 816 passengers. ‘The Circassian left Galway in the teeth of a strong head wind, which prevailed during the groater part of the run ever, and which, during the night of the 22d ultimo, in- The ship, however proved hor- self equal to theemergency, and rode ont the storm with- out sustaining the slightest injury. About half past two ‘e’clock on the 26th she made the harbor of st. Jobus, N. | + F., and disembarked some of her passengers, who, before Yeaving the vessel, assembled in the saloon and in a very warm and sincere manner complimented Captain C. on the fortunate termination of their short but boisterous pas- tage, which, under Providence, they attributed to the weal and energy displayed by Captain Campbell and the exoullent sea-going qualities of the ship uader his com- mand. While entering te harbor of New York on Satur- day, the New York passengers, also anxious to express their feeling towards Captain Campbell and tho officers of the ship for their unceasing and uniform kindness and arbanity, and for the attention paid to their comforts in every way during the trip, assembled in the saloon, and {tn a succession of toaste an) their accompanying speeches, paid some well merited tributes of praise to the worthy commander and his very efficient and gentlemanly officers. The screw steamship Hungarian, from Liverpool at one ©’clock on the afternoon of the 2ist ult., passed Farther Point at about three o’clock on Saturday morning, and her wails and passengers reached Quebec the samo night. Sir James Stephens, Professor of Modern History at Cambridge, and formerly Under Secretary of the Colonies, ie dead.

M. of the 18th; and the screw steamer Etna, from New York, reached Liverpool at 1:90 P. M. of the same day. The screw steamship Indian, from Quebec, arrived at Liverpool at 11 A. M. of the 20th; and the City of Wash- | ¢ tngton, from New York, reached Queenstown at midnigh of the 20th. GREAT BRITAIN. ‘HE DISASTER ON BOARD THE GREAT EASTERN. ‘The Coroner’s investigation into the cause pf the ox- plosion on board the Great Eastern had terminated. The evidence was very conflicting as to who had tho respon- sible charge of the engines. Mr. Scott Russell denied that fhe had control, and the head engineer of the ship made a similar denial. The verdict of the jury was as follows:— from in- Jories received from steam, , in conse- uence of the bursting of a jacket attached to the foremost une! of the Great Eastern steamship, and that said Dursting was caused by the closing of a tap connected with the syphon attached to such jacket, iu conjunction with the shutting off the feed from the water casiug to the doilurs; but there is no evidence before tha jury to show by what pergon or persons the tap was shut off; aud the liry further express their opinion that said taps are ighly dangerons when placed in such positions, and that sufficient caution was not used by the engineers. The ‘verdict is simple ‘Accidental death.’” It is considered likely that the accident may give riso to questions at law. THE SAN JUAN DIFFICULTY. The Manchester Guardian, tn an editorial on General Harney’s occupation of the island of San Juan, says:— The American General’s exploit seems to have been nothing more than one of those acts of piracy by which lawl-as representatives of the United States are accus- * tomed to settle disputes with weaker and more barbarous: neighbors, but which it is time she should be taught they cannot safely indulge in against powerful and civilized ‘nations. The article concludes as follows:— We trust the government of the United States wil epeedily disavow the act of it officer, otherwiee the Eng high government will be forced to take immediate steps for the vindication of the honor of the country, and showing the Mcensed ruffians of the federal army that they must not appropriate British territory as coolly as if they were meroly cutting off another slice of Mexico. The London Post characterises General Harney’s con- duct as totally opposed to the first principles of public law, and hopes the American government will disavow it. THE PRIZE FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP—DEFEAT OF BOB BRETTLE. The prize fight for the championship of England be- » tween Sayers and Brettie, was won by the former in twenty-three minutes. We have the London Times of the 2st ultimo, but it . doves not even allude to the great fight for the champion- ship of England, betweon Brettle and Sayers, which took place on the 20th. The meagre account which wo givo above of the result, was received by telegraph in Liver- pool on the day of the sailing of the Hungarian. PREPARATIONS FOR WAR WITH OMINA, ‘The /ndependance Belge says that Lord Cowley and Count » Waleweki have been commissioned to arrange a basis of ¢o-cjeration between England and France in the prdtecu- tion of the Chinese war. Three ninety-one gun ships were at Portsmouth under orders for foreign service, and four gunboats were being prepared with all haste for China, ‘The utmost activity prevailed at Woolwich aud elsewhere in getting offammu- nition, &c. THE TELEGRAPH TO INDIA, RTO. The British government is said to have made a contract for a cabie of twelve hundred miles, to be laid from Fal- mouth to Gibraltar in June next. This is to be succeoded by acablo to Multa and Alexandria, thus giving England an independent line, free from Continental difficulties. The gpeedy completion of the Indian line, and ite exiension to China is loudly called for in view of the new Chinese diffl- culties. ‘The London Daily News announces that Tord Clyde will retire from the command of the Indian army at the end of the year, and be succeeded by Gen. Sir Hugh H. Rose, who played a prominent part in the suppression of the re- vellion. General Mansfield is to be Commander-in-Chief of the “Bombay army. THE ITALIAN QUESTION. The London Fimes correspondent says that if the reports of the day may te credited, there is a possibility of a get Uement of the Hiadian question which would satisty all parties, and the general impression was that the political horizon was likely soon to be clearer than for somo time past. The Constitutionnl had given prominence to an edito rial in which it calgon England to sido with France in the Italian question, and the article was regarded ag an appeal to England to assist diplomatically in oxtricating the Emperor from the difficulties engendered at Villa franca. THE ZUKICH CONFERENCH, Thero had been a cemplote suspension of intercourse Detween the plenipotentiaries (or several days, but on the 19th, afer the arrival of a French courier, the represen tatives of France end Austria held a Conference, lasting three hours. FRANCE. ‘There was quite a gathering of politicians at Biarritz. Im addition w the King of the Belgians, Lord Cowley, Count Reiset and Count Walewski had gone there, and Count Cavour aud the Duke of Malakoff were expected. Prince Metternich had returued to Paris from Vienna and held @ conference with Count Walowski before the latter went to Biarritz. The Prince visited Zurich on his way to Paris, The camp at Chalons had been suddenly broken up. ‘Tt was rumored in Paris that the Emperor had requested the King of Sardinia to refuse to the deputations from tho: Legations their request for annexation to Piedmont. ‘A ship of the line, steel plated, to be called the Magenta, and the largest vessel in the French navy, bad been com menoed at Breet. The Monileur containg the following announnements in regard to the rumors of a modification in the ross law: — Several newspapers have alluded to a decree which it ‘was suppored would appear to modify tho laws of th: press. This news is without foundation. In Frauce the press is free to discuss all acte of the govern ment, and by so doing to enlighten the public mind. Certain papers im becomiug without their knowledge the orgaus of hostile parties, claim # larger amount of freedom, which would have no other object than the facilitation of their attacks on the coustita- tion and the fupdainental laws of social order. The gov- ernment of the Emperor, while it will not deviate trom the established system in allowing a flold syfficiontly large for discussion, controversy and analysis, it will vent, on the other hand, the disastrous effects of falsehood, calumny and error. The scniteur, in a subsequent iesue, published a circu- lar from the Interior Department to the Prefects, instruct- ing them as to their duties regarding the press, At was reported at Paris that France would 0o-operate with Spain in the expedition against the Moors. Rumors prevailed of a ministerial crisis, including the retirement of the Duke of Padone from the Ministry of the Interior, and M. Chagseloup Lambert from that of Algeria and the colonies. ‘ahere was no improvement in French commercial af- fairs. Itis asserted that the conclusion of the harvest shows that the crop bas been twenty per cent less productive than last year. Flour and wheat had slightly advanced | in Paris and also m most of the provincial markets. The silk markets were stagnant. Lyons under orders from America. ‘The vintage accounts were generally satisfactory. ‘The forts were being manned in the bays of St. Malo and of Cancale, and @ plan bad been prepared for arming the coast from Antibes to Port Vendres. ‘The French outposts on the frontiers of Morocco had been several times flercely attacked by native tribes, but they had been repulsed. The government of Morocco ‘was not implicated in thege attacks. The Paris Bourse had been dull and lower, but rallied on the 20th, closing very firm at 68f, 960. Trade was better at ITALY. ‘The government of Tuscany had notified the Plenipoten- tiaries of the Grand Duke to evacuate the palace within three days. In case of their non-compliance the property of the Grand Duke was to be sequestered. The King of Sardinia was to leave Turin on the 19th, on a visit to Pavia, Lodi, Cremona, &e. There had been reports from Rome that the Pope’s health was so shattered that he would probably soon re- sign; but the latest accounts say that he had perfectly recovered. ‘The Papal government had expressed satisfaction with the recent article in the Paris Montfeur on Italian affairs. Ministerial changes in Naples are reported. Filangicri had resigned the Presidency of the Council. His suc- cersor was not yet known. Garibaldi had written a letter publicly acknowledging his admiration of the patriotic population of the Ttalian Tyrol, for the heroism of their services during the war. AUSTRIA. A semi-official announcement in the Austrian Oorrespon- dence contradicts the report of fresh troops having been sent to Italy. ‘The Vienna Gazette publishes a decree raising the state of seigo in Venice. Some slight regulations will, how- ever, continue in force, provisionally, in certain cases. SPAIN. Some of the journals say that General Scrano is to be Captain General of Cuba, vice General Concha, whose re- tirement has long been expected. RUSSIA. : The Invakide Russe publishes a despatch confirming the reported capture of Schamyl during a victorious assault by the Russians on Gunit. Schamyl’s sons and family were captured or killed, The Russians took five cannon, and their loss did not excced 100 men. TURKEY. ‘The London Times publishes the following special des. patch from its correspondent:— ConstTaNnTINOPLe, Sept. 18, 1859. A conspiracy go assassinate the Suitan has been discov- ered. Two hundred persons have been Srrested here, among them the Pasha of Albania, who was apparently the chief. Some troops are suspected of participation. ‘The afluir originated with a fanatical party. CHINA. ‘There is no additional news from China, but a private despatch states that there had been large sales of manu- factured goods both at Hong Kong and Shanghae. It was, therefore, inferred that political matters had not expe- rienced any new complication. INDIA. ‘The Calcutta mail of August 27 reached Aden September 11. The following news came by the Red Sea tetegraph:— A bill had been introduced into the Legislative Council to tax professions and trades in India, the cultivators ot land excepted. ‘The special discriminating act passed during the mu- tiny had been made permanent. ‘The house of Delplie had been deprived of all titular dis- tinctions and privileges for ever. The Bombay mail of August 20 reached England on September 20, The news was generally anticipated. ‘The Bombay cattle market was active and higher. ‘The salt trade of India was expected to be thrown open, subject to excise duty. At Caicutta exchange on London was at 5s. 34d. The excitement in the Punjaub against the Mohamme- dans had passed away. COCHIN CHINA. Tho French Admiral commanding in Cochin China had concluded a treaty with the Anamese, and would proba- bly start with his fleet for China. THE IRISH REVIVALS AND THE BRANDING IMPOSTUKERS. A meeting was lately held in tho church of the Rev. William Breakey, Lisburn, Ireland, oue of its leading ob- Jects being to hear from the lips of the reverend gentle- Tab a statement bearing on the results of somo of his in- vestigations as to the fruits of the revival movementin that town and neighborhood. Mr. Breakey advocated the re- vival, but in his discourse on the heavenly trance ‘“Reli- gionists” he said:—TI, myself, have seen four strange in- stances, which I think Tcanuot too strongly bring before you. With respect to the first, I saw nothing extraordi- pary or miraculous; and with regard to the second, there were no ‘marks while I was there, although it was said there were words visible on the flesh, which, I confess, T could not sec. But with reference to the third case, there were certainly visible marks on the body of the person, and J was told that these meant “My Christ.” These were so placed in the zigzag form thatT could not make any- hing out of them; and you, my brethren, might as well make “My Christ’? from the’ shoct of paper (holding up a diank sheet) which I now place before you, as I could make ‘My Christ’’ from the marks which were then ex. hibited to me. Now, with regard to the fourth case, I certainly saw marks’ upon the skin of that woman, and they were in this form. [The reverend gentleman ‘here exhibited a sheet of paper with a scroll upon it, showing rtain marks on the arm of the female referred to.] ‘ow (continued the reverend gentleman), I cannot deny that mark, my brethren; but T ask you to listen to the evidence of the Rey. Mr. Hall on the subject, and to bear his testimony in mind. Mr. Hall writes to me in these terms — SrrTEMBER 12, 1859. My Deak Mr. BReAKEY—In compliance with your request, “that Iwould stato what paseed at a certain house on Friday night last,” I write to say that on ar iving there, Isaw a girl sitting in the houge, and ap. ly the of of a crowd asseinbled. y rudely on her arm, Tid not note particularly, Thad ne hesitation in pronouncing at once ther letters, w on her breast. that all bad been done with the biue bay, or sumething similar. 1 asked for a damp clth, which, after sume per- suasion, the people altered to be applied tu thearm, on @ woman present asserted she had seen the word *+Lird’? “grow!” “With the cluh you rubbed two of the liters off with the greatest case. You then called the attention of the people, and, holding the arm up before all presont rubbed the other two off without the least dijicully. T never saw a more clumsy or futile attempt at imposture, aut regret much to learn that any one can be so wicked as U» persevere in the deceit, or can find people su wosk.y credulous as to heed such uousense, J. 8.

Mr. Jones, Minister of the United States, had already ro- ceived authority to present his credentials, with which he wus very content; and itwas hoped that he would do so in a few days, re-establishing by this means the good re- lations which ought to exist between the two countries, which the impr: cy of Pierce and bis agents, Bow. tin and Morse, ha rrupted. Mr. Jones shows himself every day more eatisfled with the cordial welceme which he Las deserved from the polished society of Bogota. He says that he wishes New Granada to know it,and that he will be: very happy to use all his efforts in contributing to draw nearer the friendship of two countries, so identical in inte- rests and institutions, It has been stated that his lady would be in Bogota in December next.

Mr. Sims Reeves, whose name was in the programme for three pices, did uot appear. The British public got very much eoraged, as usial, with Mr Reeves.

It is quite difficult to find out what the Paris critics think about her. A letter in the London New? (Sept. 15) gives the following criticiem:— Vestyali is a fine woman, of unusual height and ampit tude of proportions, with u staal! head, round face amt goud-humored expression of countenance. Her -air and gestures are quite those of We rader sex, but to assert that she jocks ike a mun is the height of absurdity. She walks und holds the stage adimirabjy, and of all th reases T ever 8a de ervousness. —E Do wonderfully fine in the lo faulty medium and upper votes. She has immense power, vot wants sympathy. I cannot imagine her stirriag the heart like Malibran and Aiboni. Her style 1s un- excepuionabic, She isa pupil et Mercanante, and ha the best traditions of an Ttativn sehoo!, This 1s as much as to say it is not the Parisian styte. Her acting of Romeo is passionate and energetic, but she ought to be seen in other piris before she is judged definitively. Her recep tion does not even border on enthusiaem, though she is decidedly accepted by the public.

Upon making inquiries in regard to the matter yesterday, our reporter learned tho following particulars in relation to the affair, which may not be uninteresting to the mass of our readers:—Malligan anc Riviere, it appears, have beeu on bad terms of late. On Friday the purties met in Broadway, when some words ir: 4 between them of a not altogether pacific nature. jviigan remarked that he cousidered the Captain much Deneuth bis notice, whereupon the Zouave very ly handed the geutieman bis card, and challenged him to prta! combat at the Elysian Fields, Hoboken, on the fol- Mulligan accepted the }, chose pis- tols as Weapons, and promised to be on hand at an earl . Agreeable to arrangement the Delligerents, with their seconds, met at Hoboken, but, like the King of France's men, they “‘Marched up the hill and down again,” and returned to New York withont firing « single ehot. Mulligan says that the Captain showed the white feather, ‘kit. ee me ridiculous excuse, left the ground. On + hand, the gallant Zouave states that the difficnl- ty lay in his not being provided with a second who could speak English, ano that the meeting had to be adjourned. in conseqnence. When the adjourned meeting will take place it is bard tosay. The probability is that the affsir hak gone as far as was intended on both sides, and that the chances of any blood being spilled are slim. At alk events the ‘knowing ones”? anticipate no further difficulty between these heroes; so that any feverish anxiety the pubiic may have in regard to the matter may be abated forthwith.
