On reading the account of the mmauguration of tne Sues Canal by the Times correspondent it 13 impossible not to be struck With the superioriiy Of tue Arab over the Engiish- man in this respect.

On the other hand we read ot the ridiculons aud unreasonable grumbling of the Christiun guesis of the Viceroy, and of a gentleman demanding au audience of his Highness for the pur- pose of complatuing that he had been put to sleep in a double vedced roow. In the Graud Council of the canton of Berne, a new law upon the primary schools was under dis- cussion, The superintendence of the scnools is to rest with @ special commission and with tne Com- munal Council, being entirely taken out of the hands of the Church. The dispositions relative to religious mstruction gave rise to most debate. In the firat clause of the bill, where religion is speci- fed as one of the subjecta to be taught, the ortho- dox Protestants moved that ‘Christian’? should be added to the word “religion.” This amendment was carried. It was also decided, on the proposi- tion of the liberal government party, that Catholic children in Provestant schools, and in like manner, Protestant chiidren in Catuolic schools, shoud bo exempt from the obligation of following the course Of religious teachiag, ENGLAND. Burlingame’s Embassy—Jenlousies of the English— he Irish TroableAccident to the Americnn Frigate Plymouth, Lonpon, Dec. 8, 1869, The great Yankee Mandarin Burlingame has been received with high honors by the King of Prussia, and the importance of the mission in which he is engaged is fully recognized at Berlin. The readers of the HERALD have already been advised by special cable despatches of the grand séles and feeds with which the special embassy have been welcomed, and the interesting details of the reception will tn due ume be supplied oy your Berlin correspondent, But it 18 @ notewortliy fact that all favorable news re- lating to Burfingame and his mission 1s suppressed by the English pe and although Lord Claren- don has been courteous and friendly in his intercourse with the American Chinaman, it 1s evi- dent that Engiand views with Jealousy the success- ful progress of the embassy. A short time ago cur- rency was readily given to a report of Ross Browne's attack upon the Burlingame mission, and it Was asserted that tne Chinese government had repudiated 1t8 own work. More recentiy intelli- gence bas been received from the secretary of the embassy, Mr. McL. Brown, who has returned to Pekin as the bearer of despatenes, to the effect that the attempts to shake the confidence or aiter the plans of the Oninese government have signaliy failed and that much satisfaction 1s expressed at Pexia wita the progress and resuits of the mission. This news, although placed at the service of the English press, has not found ite way into any of the papers. One journal, the Standard, how- ever, goes 80 far as to ignore It alto- gether and to assail the mission, under the pretence that “it is simply a@ buffer.” This reflued expression 18 supposed to mean that the mis- sion was artiuily desigued by the Chinese statesmen to ‘keep of Europeans.’ The article affords strong evidence that the mission ia regarded as likely to succeed and to bring forth glorious results, ‘The Standard is the organ of the high tory party, and its hatred of Gladstone and his associates is 80 intense as to make it Wiiling to see a bloody civil war in Ireland only for the gratification of embar- rassing the liberal government of fngiand, Tt 18 troe that Lord Clarendon has appreciated the importance of Mr. Buringame’s mission and has given fc the promise (f the ald and encouragement of his government, and hence he is in @ measure committed to 1\8 success, If there exists a fair pros- pect of its eventual failure the Svancard would glory in these facta. As it bids fair to prove the com- mencement Of @ new era in the history of the inter- course of the Chinese empire with the rest of the ‘world, and to reflect honor on all who have given it countenance, che tory organ is very angry with Lord Clarendon for the friendiy part he vas taken in the Bagotietions, The mavement that “in Pars Mr, Bur- Dngame fs not reported to have aone well” 1s alto- gether a fight of imagination. The Emperor per- sonally expressed to the embassy his belief in the wisdom and justice of its propositions and pledged lus government to an earnest support of the work of the mission at the proper time. in France, 1a fact, Mr. Burungaine bas met with his most gratifying success up tothe present time, It will be observea that the Siandarv can quote only two authorities aguinst the embassy. One of these is Sir Kutheriord Alcock, who 1s unfortanately, although truth Tully, characterized ag “in the worst possible odor among ali Luropeans in Uhina,’? and who, is can %e added, nas been checked by the English yov- eroment for an apparent unfriendiiness towards the Burlingame mission. ‘The other 1s the disconzented Koss Browne, the late American Minister ab the Court of Pekin. Mr. Burlingame can adord to bear the adverse testimony 0: BUCA Wilnesses as these, ag he can afford to smile at the personal sneers of the Engiisit tory organ in view of tac evidence supplied by 113 il temper, of the certain successful termina- tion of bis unportant Lask.

LONDON, Dec, 9, 1869, The Royal London Yacht Club i# one of the most spirited and enterprising of the many yacht clubs of England. its members are mainly business men, of energetic character, liberal sentiments and large means, and they go into yachting as a nationai sport, with a hearty will and with a determination to do their work well. ‘They had their annual dinner this season at the Westminster Palace Hotel, and the entertainment afforded evidence that however thorough they may be as satiors they know very well how to enjoy themselves ashore. Four or five excellent soups, half dozen different kinds of fish, turbot, soles, sal mon: smeits, &c., about a score of ‘entrees? and “re. Ueves,” game of every description, venison, @ dozen entremets, and, a8 a ‘piece’? of very great “resist- ance,” a baron of beef, brought in on the shoulders of eight sturdy cooks and carved in the centre of he ing hall, formed a repast that might well be a ed by yachtmen, and, for the matter of that, by any other Christian gentleman. Add to this the fact that the wine was good, that the speeches wete rst rate, that a party of professionals relieved the talking business by an intermixture of first rate music and song, and that the Gommodore (Arce- deckne), Who presided kept the guests ina state of intermittent laughter from the opening grace to the Onal break-up, and it may well be supposed that the entertainment was one to make a city alderman enthusiastic and to cast Guildhall and the Mansion House into the shade, There is one feature about the Royal London Yacht Club that dis- tinguishes it from mauy others, and that is tts liberal views in regard to yachting and ite generous aym- pathy with the yachtmen of other nations. Some portion of this may be traced to the fact that its commodore, vice commodore and rear commodore have a!) travelled in the New World as well ag in the Old, and are as familiar with American yachts as with those of their own country. This generous spirit made itaelf manifest in the speeches during the evening, and especially In that of Vice Commodore Broadwood, who not only con- ceded the unfairness of applying the Thames measurement rule to the yachts of foreign nations in an international trial between in- dividual vessels, but frankly’ admitted that after @ great deal of talk about international races last Season no fair opportunity had been afforded to Americans to sail a match on anytiing like equitable terms, although three very good yachts had come over from New York and had un- questionably been ready to enter into some, at least, of the numerous contests that had been invited. About 150 persons sat down to the dinner, and the evening Was very enjoyable, The Commodore, Mr. Arcedeckne, 13 43 oMcient as a presiding officer as he is as@ yachiman; and his qualifications in the latter capac ity are guaranteed by the fact that he has held his present position for twelve or fourteen years; that the Koyal London, over which he pre- kides, NOW enrolls On Ils list some of the best yachts in Engiand, - that, financially, tt has the upusual satisfaction of finding @ large sum on the credit side of 1t4 balance sheet, Tne London Times has given an unusual evidence of enterprise for an English journal, in publishing @ cable synopsis of President Granv’s message two col- umns jong.

Srocnton, Pa., Dec. 23, 1869, The heavy rain storm of yesterday was followed by severe frost, and the ground about the mouth of the mine is now as bard as adamant. Gangs of workmen were consequently sent into the pit early this morning to renew their efforts for the recovery of tne bodies buried beneath the debris of earth aud houses. These men are under the direction of Dir. Wiliam Carr, the company’s superintendent, Their work 1s both dificult and dangerous. When the sur- face sank the houses toppled over and were quickly covered by the avalanche of carth tumbling into the cavity from the yielding slides of the slope. ‘To reach these overturned dwellings and dig them from beneath tne overhanging and treacherous bank, 18 an undertaking of no ordinary difficulty, Every shovel of eartn taken out and every plank of timer removed increases the risk of @ slide, The suriace 1s cracked in every direction about the pit, and it only needs a slight squeeze to make it open out and drag within the yawning mine everything, animate aud inanimate within reach. The work- men, therefore, have to proceed very cautious'y, and their progress 1s consequently slow. Shoulda the threatened slide take place while the men are in the hole not one of them could escape. It seems a fovl- ish affair altogether this digging at the imminent peril of men’s lives for the recovery of bodies al ready interred in deeper graves than any the ceme- tery can give them; but the miners are extremely superatiious, and will not work while there ia the least possible chance of recovering the remains of their friends and giving them decent burial There will be no relaxation, therefore, in the eflorts of the company to exhume the bodies of tne dead miners and their families, until at least the further sinking of the earth sball render tueir recovery manifestly impossivie. From the present appearance of the pit i do not think that more bodies wiil be found for some time, if ever. ‘the cavity 18 now about 130 feet wide, i6u tees long aud seventy to seventy-five feet deep. ‘Ine hard irost has weided the loose earth and rocks together where the surface cracked im the squeeze which followed tne disaster of Saturday; but when @ tuaw comes the entire neighborhood over the firat lift of the mine is pretty certain co sink. 1s 1s. the opinion of practi- cat miners and engineers here Wuo comprehend tho situation thoroughly.
