* TRLEGRAPHIG NEWS |, FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD. ‘BRITISH OPINION OF THAD STEVENS. Napoleon Reviews the Na- tional Guard. ENGLAND. ‘The London Press on Thad Stevens. Lonpon, August 14, 1863. ‘Telegrams were promptly received from New York a@nnouncing the death of Representative Stevens, of Pennsyivania. The intelligence has created a most Profound sensation, and nearly all the moruing jour- mals have elaborate obituary notices, ‘The London 7imes, after recounting Mr. Stevens’ Prominent connection with the recent impeachment Project, and his views relative to the payment of the United States five-cwenty bonds, conciudes its article ‘with the following words:—‘The death of Thaddeus Stevens is not now # public loss. His impeachment policy was of incalculable injury to his political party, and the financial dishonesty which he encouraged dies with him. He was a fanatical, bitter and self- willed man, but not mean or deceitful. He is the last of the leading Aimericans who had the courage to rise above poiitical partisanship.” The London Zeiegraph has the following:—“Mr. Stevens was neither wise, good nor gonerous, but in his time he did signa! service, and, with all his faulte, he merits the famous phrase, ‘That was a man.’” The London News concludes its article:— “The death of Mr. Stevens leaves no important place ‘Unfilled either in the lead of his party or in the coun- cils of the nation.”” The other journals have ert!cies expressing similar views.

Though not a native of our State, Thaddeus Stevens’ most earnest efforts were always devoted to ite interests and Flory. and his name will ever be associated with all thatis great in the F of the last quarter of a century, 4s well as all that per- tains to statesmanship in the struggie to prove and aigeeino the American Union. The people of nnsylvania owe to the enlarged statesinanship of ‘Thaddeus Stevens the initiation of the system of pab- lic improvements which has since developed the vast resources of tie State and rendered tis prosperity the the subject of wonder and admiration. ‘To his wis- dom and liberality we are indebted for our magnif- cent system of free schools, in which the children of tue poor are enabled to reach a de; of cultivation vaeoe Vo the wealthiest and most favored of u State constitution, as repi tive in the lower branch of the Legis- lature and as @ canal commissioner the late Thad- dens Stevens displayed the same great abilities which distinguished him as a jurist in the highest courts and a8 a leader in the councils of the nation. The memory of the services of the ilinstrious dead, of his many ind traits of character, of his great and cul-- tivated intellect, of his irresistible ilities as a jurist and as a legiviator and of his gen- erous. and mumnificent charities will never die, It will survive the recollection of man and forever live in the records of our courts and of our State and national Legistatures; also in the histo: of our country, to which he wag so ardently tached, and in the hearts of his coantrymen, whom he so immortally honored and so faithfully served. It is directed that all the departments of the State ‘overnment be closed after twelve o’clock on Mon- Say and that the nattonal flags be displayed at half mast at the same time on ajl the public buildings of the State, JOHN W.

It is @ singular fact that not only was this sy ‘6tem of smuggling carried on through the agency of Health Officer Swinburne’s boat, but that the prin- cipal “fence” is located at Quarantine landing, hardly uw stone’s throw from Dr. Swinburne’s office and regidwce.

No person in 80 short atime has rendered himself s0 obnoxious to the merchants as tits g\Ticial, and hence there was a general smile at the predicament in which the dis- closures of Thursday moyning have put him. The trade of New York has been injured to the extent of an incalculabie sum throuyth his assumption of power over the vessels of ou merchants, so much so that in many instances the consignees have frequently requested the vessels to put into other ports along the coast and then tran- ship thelr cargoes here, all of which they could do at much less expense and with out the vexation and delay occasioned by the odious nature of the Quarantine regulations, The dis- closures: of the illegal traffic in which one of the Health Oficer's vessels was detected is another link in the long chain of remonstrances which the mer- cantile community have been forging to curb the “Health OfMicer’s arbitrary adminisiration of his duties. AT THE CUSTOM HOUSE. ‘The employés and officials at the Custom House were quite envious of the gallant exploit of their confreres, Inspectors Kane and Jones. Dr. Swin- burne has long been the object of a great deal of ill- will om their part for his high-handed course in or- dering away even the United States authorities from the effort todo their duty in searching vessels for contraband goods, and hence the very naturalor very human satisfaction which they felt tm finding him go open to censure for the negligent manner in which he kept watch over the doings of his Quarantine agents, The mews was read over to the smallest detail, canvassed in every particular and discussed in all its bearings upon the “Dootor” and his Mairepgg AP ole Chit-chat at the Custom House, at the Battery and at Quarantine during the day revealed facts of a very singular na- ture in connection with the Health Officer’s admin- istration of the duties of his office durlug the past few years, NOT THE FIRST TIME, Acouple of summers for the Doctor exer- cises the active powers of his position Gatien the season between the middle of June and the latter part of September—information was given that a quantity of goods on which the duty had not been pas, had gone aboard the Health Omicer’s vessel, if, indeed, not all the way up to his house, The act was witueased by the night patrol of the revenue service. Accordingly the goods were selzed and brought to the New York Custom House, where the Doctor soon after made his way in hot haste and said that it had long been the privilege of the Health Oftcer to get these little perquisites from the Captains of inward- bound vessels, “How else," said he in explanation, ‘do you su pose I could keep up the supplies for Governor Fen. ton’s table?” INFORMATION WANTED. ‘The Havana steamer le was the first arrival this summer after the establishment of Quarantine. She was detained in the Lower Bay, whence her sengers were transferred to the city at the tax of $1 in gold head.

The lightering of the cargo is exciusively done by a certain person, whose profits, if report be true, are si by the Doctor. No lighters save those owned by the indi- vidual refer to are allowed to go near discharging vessels. The towing of veaseis from the Lower Quar- antine, according to the same report, is aiso ‘farined out” to @ monopoly, under the provision of the law which the Doctor {nterprets to give him exclusive doininion over the expanse of water coming within the boundaries, imag! or deflned, of Quarantine. Only such vessels inay enter the limits of this king- dom as he chooses to permit, Hence the owners, in general, of towboats complain that as nearly all ves- sels have to go into Quarantine, the couferment of the privilege on @ monopoly is a serious detriment, Wf net injury, to their luteresta. “NICHOLAS SMITH."

THE YACHT SQUADRON. spect to Ex-Commedore Stevene—The Loys * Newport, August 13, 1868, Newport, always noted for its good society, its cul- tivation and refinement, its invigorating breezes, its remarkable healtbfulness of climate and its grand charma generally, is'somewhat excited this morning. One theme swaying the minds ef all, triumphing for & moment, and infusing into the exclustves that do the summer solstice here a iytie more sociability than is generally discerned, is the, presence of the yacht Squadron. Down on the bay, just abreast of Sayer’s wharf, the clean, easy flowing hulls are lying on the glassy surface. Hardly a ripple disturbe its calmness; but the sun, as tf some biazing spirit, hovers in mid sky, threads down ita penetrating rays, and all the sails and ropes look like gilded life, 80 brightly do they glisten. The silvery huils of the Phantom and Palmer lie listless!y together, as if the aquatic nymphs were enjoying a téte-a-téte and the latter sighing for the frm hand that once guided her to victory. Hard by are the Josephine, with her chaste model, and the pretty Clytie, like water sylphs, seemingly too frail im their dainty. construction to risk peril amid the rough elements. Asiern looms up the longer huil of, the Idler, whose ploughing through, the waters and her nimbleness generally bea son, has astounded the “men of judgment” the Pete and rather obscured for a while the stars prophecy that occasionally bore the fleet with their marine lore. Near her, and looking like a sister, in her bright biack hull, her tapering top- masts pointing into the viewless ether above, and reflected in the deep blue of the water beneath, is the Eva, and beyond her are the Rambler, Rest- less and Dauntless, their huils glowing almost in the lquid gold of the sunlight. Again, near them 1s quicted that feet-heeled Fieetwing, resting In ali the proud consciousness of her unsurpassed reputation, and in the immediate neighborhood are the re- mainder, looking as graceful as the outlines ot a sweet vision. ‘The streets leading to this sublime nantical specta- cle have been trod by a legion of characters to gaze and speculate upon tt, When on the wharves the crowd was amusing; servants were d wearily about littie hand chalses, containing the gods of Some household, mayhap sojourning at the grand hotetson Touro avenue, but away ma the orange groves of the South; wives hung becomingly to the arms of husbands, and sweethearts clung closer and grew more sentimental as the rising tide now and then caused the silvery lulls of the Clytie or Palmer to nod poquesciany, to the dancing wa- ters; gentlemen in ring totiets and elaborate watch chains, with curiously caryed meerschaums, promenaded about with surprising dignity, casting their weather eye, ever and anon, to the object of their visit; ladies with delicate pocket handkerchiefs, lke the “baseless fabric of a vision,” stood in groups and duttered them to the figures on the decks beyond. Sandwiched between. these are fel- lows in great Fonyh Pantaloons and blue shirts, who are in readiness for any parties that may want to “go out to the yachts, sir.” One of these, a great, broad shouldered specimen, with his pants tucked in the top of his boots to admit the water if necessary, Jolis negligently about to catch the first party that wants to expend a dollar. Exquisites ually arrive, keeping in company for safety’s sake, aud with swaggerlug airs, ey incompatible with amphibious looking men, each other, ‘Are you fond of yachting?’ “Very,” is the general reply 5 “ain't your “Do a deal of it,” w the nse, accompanied by sundry adjectives expressive of their ignorance of the pastime. Add to these many clean, swift, cat-rigged boats, guidea by their owners’ hands, fntt g around and between HP et with dirty, squalid boys who have optained the use of “dugouts,” hoping to catch a wandering friend of some yachtman, and fishermen trying their luck for tautog and squiteake, and the excitement produced by little bets on the identity of certain of the vessels, made in such banterings as, “Well, I bet you that’s the Palmer?”’—“ Haveu’t I seen the Dauntless ?’— “Don’t you thiuk I know the Phantom?” £c., with the it impenctrable walls of For Adams surround by a eky that seems even bluer and @& sun that shines even more brightly upon {ts battlements and the deilicio green sward about it that runs to the ‘water's edge, and one will note the enthustasm and ture caused by the aquatic pets of the squadron his morning. IN MEMORIAM. ‘The clanking beils of the feet had but struck the hour of ten A, M. when a signal to the masthead: of the Phantom nested the board, in compliance with @ previous agreement, ‘that resolutions of respect should be passed as a tribute to the memory of their late Comiodore, BE.
