AB meeting of the Bradtord Chamber of Com- merce was held on Wednesday, to consider what steps should be taken in references to the Spanish aggression upon Chile, Mr. Jacob Belrens occupied the chair. ‘The chairman referred to the great interests that wore at stake in the quarrel between Spain and Chile, and stated that the exports of British produce to Chile in 1865 were £1,481,814, of which worsted and woollen goods amounted to £200,000, Tho railways of Chile, represent ing a capital of four and a half millions sterling, had been built and were owned by Englishmen, and most of the internal commerce of the country was carried on b Englishmen and foreigners, the Chileons themselv: taking very litle part in it, ‘The interests of British subjects which were threateued by tye blockade and the property which would be destroyed by a bonsbard. ment of Valparaiso wero enormous; and it appeared to him that if spain and Chile were to fight Euglishmon would receive all the blows.

M. do LamartLic haying laiely peblished an article of some length in his *Eutrotions Littéraires’’ on the Lion of Mexico, Ww niok he attirms is understood by him- self alone, the Decals makes some severe remarks om kite cata etpressed by that somewhat eccentric er s— “Since M. de Lamartine declares himsolf to have alone fathomed the Mexican business we must beheve bim; and though it is held as certain that during the last cen: tury all the world had moro wit than Voltairs, we will admit, out of deference to M. de Lamartine, that in the tho present contary he has more cleverness than all the reat of the woud. It nevertheless seems to us, im all humility, that if tho expedition to Mexico has never been popular in France the reasons are precisely those which make M. do Lamartine admire it, seeing therein ‘a grand conception, equitable as necessity, vast as tho occan, uew as an mapromptu, a Btatesmnan- like thought, teeming like the future, sanitary for America and for the whoie world.’ The common sense of the public, which likes to comprehend things things clearly, without fancying itself vast as the ocean, saw in this ‘expedstion, if not a thought, at least a ten- dency, heatile £2 the spirit of the institutions of North Amer- ia, and that also 3f. de Lamartine has seen.

The escape of Stephens, the reputed Irish Head Centre, from Richmond Prison, Dublin, on the 2dth ult., con: tinued a subject of mystery. It was found that eight doors had been oponed from the outside by confederates, and that one was locked afterwards to prevent pursuit.

It will be remembered that Stephens, at the oxamina- tion before Mr. Stronze affected a tnanver which would justify the belief that ho felt little concern as to the dificulty in which ho was involved. At that time it was expected that ha would be indicted for high treason, ‘The Governor of Ricbmond Bridewell, who had from first an additional force of five and twenty police con stables to woteh the Fenian prisovers, recontly, under directions from the Board of Superintendence, sent ina requisition for the reduction of that force to three, with a view to curtailing the expenses to be charged aya w the rates of the city, Three constables only were av- cordingly employed to aid the prison officials at night, but now valueless thole servicos were may be leat from the fact that they were separated by a substantial wall and a ‘ormidab!e iron door from the department in which the men to be watch d were located, Mr, Mar- ‘quia, the Governor, wilh anxiety to prevent any commu- Mication between the eeteral Fenian prisoners, placed ordinary prisoner in each cell intermediate between two of the alleged Fenians. prisoner so placed between James Stephevd and Charles J.

But, to judge from his past oxploits, he is quite capable of giving his pursuers some trouble. It is related that on the night of the seizure of the Irish he changed his appearance with peculiar readiness, and, procuring a pair of crutches, made his way of shelter. This was Fuirfleld House, Sandy- jount, which he occupicd unser the name of James Herbert. It had been furnished with much elegance, no doubt out of Fenian funds; the garden Aad greenhouse were and £12 worth of plants were purchased from a neighboring nursery on the very day pr the cap- tare.
