SPEECH OF. MR. BYN DM. The reply of Mr. Bynom, of North Carolioa, to the prtimn' and unprincipled effort of the bank brafo. Wise, to implicate the Secretary of the Treasury in the affair of the Conservative, SwartwoaA, has recently been pablitbed in the columne of the Washington Globe. It is the most searching and caustic apech ever made by that indefatigable representative of republican principles, and sheds ; new light upon the poli tical manoeuvres and chicanery of the stock-jobbing junto, that now compose a majority of the House of Representatives. Mr. Bynum was iiiUrruptedV.darioe the, delivery jf hit speech, by tho desperado, jSvjse, in his usual ungentle manly and brutal manner' and e&lled upon to explain the meaning of soms of his remarks. Mr. B. replied !: That he should scorn to an swer any question wjiich reouired him to select that gentleman or any other from the rest of the committee. He confessed that there were gen tlemen on the committee for whom be had the highest respect, but h4 was free to confess, that there were often far whom he had little or rune. Mr. Wise asked whether the gentleman meant to designate him. Mr. B. replied that the scorpion rod be lad so frequently attempt ed to wield over thai , House bad no terrors for him; nor would it havewere he a thousand times more terrioVthan be would have the world believe him to be, and Added that he had no ex planations to make to that gentleman." This r.ired ruffian was compeIled,-after eoj tart a re ply, to skulk ont brthe House in mortification mid shame, the butt and laughing-stock of the whole body. If. the? gentlemen who compose th.it AtemblyjwouldiuIl0w the example of Mr. Bynum, wbeoef erthis frothy dfclaimer attempts 1 1 interrupt the routine of business, the Hall of representatives woold'eoon become a Hall of 1-isUtion, instead bf a theatre for the dignet ing exhibition of passion, riot, and bloodshed. S&" Speaking of tho report that AuBtria will not unito with the Allies in their war against R'isaia, the Baltimore "American remarks, that t'.e immense importance of such a result, if it ttirns out to be true,4 cannot be over-rated. It will be likely to change the whole aspect of the struggle, and precipitate Europe into a general war. Prussia will ft confirmed in her Russian proclivities by the position of Austria, and as t ,e entire neutrality of these two powers can s.-arcely be preserved, the seat of war may b removed from Russia to the banks of the Rhine. Kngland and Francs would then, by the pres sure of circumstances, be forced to fall back upon the projects' 4bat . were indicated at the npeuing of the war.'and the re-establishment of Poland and the independence ot Hungary con tinue the cry that' would, call all Europe to rui9. Lopis Napoleon; in that event, would find on mju meethim without going to tbe Crimea, and iflT this country the true sentiment of the people be brought oat . by a straggle for otjects that would YstxOnglj nlist American sympathy. teg-- t John,-Archbishop of New York," having asked a suspension of public opinion for ten days or two weeks, in order to extricate him self from the disagreeable dilemma into which he has been placed by Mr. Eraatus Brooks, Mr. B. bopes that tbe public will gire him as many d:tys or weeks as ie desires. , Mr. B. says be hat two or three letters more in preparation as to the Archbishop's; property and bis practices io regard to it, and that he will shortly publish ihera. Mr. Brooks letters are witten in a cour teous and dignified manner, affording a striking i-wntrait to those of the Archbishop, who styles Mr. B.a'wretcbedaad vile insect,' anbTether such low, vulgar epithets. Mr. Brooks is one of the editors of the N. Y. Express, and publishes in Lis paper tbe letters of Archbishop Hughes as well as his own ; while the organs of tbe Arch bishop publish his letters alone. Mr. B. is fully capable of sustsinisg bis position, and, having tfiriTen his opponent to the wall, will keep him there . t .. , The effects of the war upon the financial condition of England are beginning to appear.

The miliUrjj expenditure of that Govern iuent will not exceed 20,000,000, and tbe gross i ii tlay, under every department, will be about ,000,000; and while, in England, it has been necessary to raise, on loan, the sura of 16,000,- ) sterling, at Z per cent, in order to meet the !i Kp'inia fifths Excheoserlin France the ne- chity for a loan "or for. any other' extraordinary inpanu of supply dses not yet appear. , Hksignatiox or ATTOB.xir GxirxiA.-M.

But there are those who look be yond the mere clashing of arms, the fall of for tresses, the terms dictated by potentates, the partitioning of territory and the setting up of metes and bounds they look to some great de monstration on the part of the great Ruler of the Universe to the fulfilment of prophecy. Well, it may be so. Some great result will fol low so great a struggle and that result might be the annihilation of the Turkish Empire, and the re-plaoemeat of God's ancient people in the land which they love so well, and which has been so long desecrated by the foot of the des picable Mussulman. The commetcial advices by this arrival are highly im portant. Breadstuff's have considerably advanced. There is also an upward movement in Provisions and Groceries. Cotton has sold free ly at an advance. The condition of Finances, though Consols have fallen, is represented as comparatively easy. It is probable that the ac counts of light supplies and high prices of bread- stuffs and all other articles of produce from this country have had considerable effect on foreign markets, in advancing prices. Tbk PxTxasBtrao Elections. We commit ted an inadvertent error in our last, in staling that the American candidate for Mayor had been elected, at tbe late Municipal election in Petersburg. Our telegraphio advices were oth erwise at fault. The following is tbe result of , the polls : W. W. Thomas, tbe Anti-American candi date for Mayor, is elected over Samuel Williams, the American candidate, by 152 majority. Pierce's majority, in the last Presidential elec tion, was 244. In the Eastern Ward, the entire American tick et forCouocilmen was elected. In the Western Ward, the Anti-Americans returned all their Councilmen. The Council now stands 15.AnU and 9 Americans. V. G. Rambaut, the Amerian oandidate for City Collector, was elected by a majority of eight votes." ' k Upon this result the " Petersburg Intelligen cer" remarks : "Our election for city officers passed off yes terday with considerable quiet. Sam, and tbe old serpent, Juntoism, locked horns here for the first time, and Sam gave the monster a tre mendous shaking that nearly knocked bis bones out of bis skin. Never was anti-Americanism so tremendously bandied, to come off alive. This city was its strong and favorite fortress, and when Sam undertook the conflict, his chance of victory was considered utterly helpless by many of his best friends. But he has bearded the monster in his den and has pretty nearly crush ed him. The fatal blow will be given to him on the 24th, when Sam will meet him again to renew the struggle. The election of Capt. Rambaut settles the question of Junto Supremacy in Petersburg and is a foreshadowing of the doom of Henry A. Wise. It must be recollected that tbe demo cratic majority here at the last election was 244. If there be a corresponding decrease of the anti-American vote in tbe rest of the State, Wise will be beaten by a majority of between 15,000 and 20.000. For full returns see local column." Yircina E lectio;. The election takes place on Thursday, the 24th of the present month. The Governor, other State officers, members of Congress, and of the Legislature, are to be elec ted. Wise, in a late speech, stated that he had spoken 143 hours in the canvass. What monstrous waste of breath 1 Arkansas papers say that there is not in Little Rock a barrel of flour, a bushel of meal or a nound of coffae or sugar for sale. Flour would go off readily at $15 a barrel, and corn meal at $2 a bushel ; sugar and coffee would sell for any price. There is, also, the greatest scarcity of every article of provisions or family groceries. M& Wi. C.

If. therefore, he failed of an election, it cannot be said that the people were ignorant either of the real issues of the eaovase, or of Mr. Wise's fitness for the office. Us has exhibited himself and his principles before them fairly sod fully. If he U defeated, he cannot complain that the people have been hood-winked and deceived. What has been the result f Has hi cruvade against Know Nothingism eventuated in its des truction ? Not at all. Day after day -.he in visible Sam welcomes into his household scores of the sons of Virginia. The people listen to Mr. Wise's harangues but they are not moved by his fiery declamation. He cannot stir up the passions, much less convince thegudgment, of the calm and conservative men of A irginia. He may rant before them he may use all the ap pliances for stage effect he may tear a pas sion to Utters but the boxes nit unmoved at the spectacle, the pit gives only a feeble tribute of applause, and even the boys in tbe gallery are uncertain whether to applaud or to hiss. It is asserted, too, by those who know, that Sam has always been most busty in those very places that Mr. Wise has honored with his pfes enoe. He is regarded by Sam as the very best apostle of bis creed. Persons who, before Mr. Wise's appearance among them, were neutral in the matter, or even hostile to the American cause, were made its warmest advocates. The effect of his harangues was seen in an increased curiosity among the masses to ascertain the principles of the new party and to co-operate with it in its patriotic undertakings. The mission of Mr. Wise has thus been pro ductive only of detriment to his own cause, and of benefit to the opposition. With no antago nist to combat, exoept the invisible and immate rial Sam, be has resembled a man wildly and fruitlessly beating the air. His adversary, not receiving his ineffectual blows, has daily in creased in strength and activity and awaits only the day of election to complete his triumph. In former days, when Mr. Wise stood up in the Aocomao District, the able, consistent, fear less and unflinching champion of the people against the corruptions of party, he was irresis tible. He exercised a control over the hearts of the people which no other man has ever yet attained. Note, when he is found in the ranks of tke same men against whom the lightning of his genius was once directed, his words fall cold ly and heavily upon the popular air. He can not kindle any enthusiasm in the hearts of his folio wers. His prestige of invincibility is gone and the shadow of Sam, like the ghosts of the victims of Gloster, " has struck more terror to his soul. Than could the substance of len thousand men, Armed all in proof." Revolutions never' g"o backward. The grand political revolution of the Know Nothings is the spontaneous uprising of the people against political trickery and party corruptions. It were as vain to attempt to check its progress as t.o stop the tornado in its course. 'It has the imprimatur of popular approval, and Mr. Wise ought by this time tc be convinced of the futili ty of attempting to arrest it. Beneath the clas sic shades of Univ. near Unancock he mar ruminate on tbe result and from the instruc tive teachings of the past may gftther some val uable lessons for the future. Richmond fVAig. FIGHTING THE FIRE. Tbe Richmond Whig thus appropriately re marks upon the following letter which aopear ed in the Penny Post : "The next Governor of Virginia, it will be seen, instead of going about denouncing gentlemen as "traitors, scoundrels and fools'" is quietly pursuing the duties f his profession, and aiding a poor man and his 1 distressed family to savs thsir lives and their 1 property from threatened destruction. Patrick Uocntt, Va. April zo. "W e have had some very warm weather during the week past, but, unfortunately, the wind blew violent ly for several days. The woods accidentally caught fire, a few miles below town, and spread with astonishing and destructive rapidity over latgo area of country, consuming houses, fences, tobacco, barns, and even hogs, cattle and sheep in its onward, rapid and destructive course. Several farmers have lost all their last vear's crop, and are unable to prepare for planting the present season, without assistance. 'Many were reduced to the necessity of a- bandoning everything else, and directing their whole energies to the protection of their dwell ings from the ravages of the devouring element. One poor fellow lougtit nobly against it rapid approaches, until be was oompelled to yield upeverything but his dwelling ; when he took another stand, but overcome by latigue and exhaustion, he fell senseless to the earth, and perhaps he and his family would have been consumed by the maddened flames, had it not been for the timely assistance of the Hon. Thomas S. Flournoy and Judge Gilmer, who were on their way to our Circuit Court, and hearing the screams of the unfortunate man's wife, sprang from the vehicle, threw off their bats and coals and fought their way through the flames to the rescue of bis family. Through the untiring and courageous exertions, and well directed efforts, of these two gentlemen, the house was saved from certain destruction. "After remaining with the familv till all tbe danger was passed, they proceeded on their way to the Uourt House, where they arrived in tbe night, looking more like a brace of hard fisted and strong armed disciples of Vulcan, than the grave judicial functionary and the able, acoom plished advocate. "xou may be sure we did not expect to see tbe future Governor of Virginia wearing such a woful. sorrowful and "smoky aspect. We hardly recognised him. We should certainly object to seeing oar friend lake his destined seat in the gubernatorial chair in inch a sor rowful trim as he presented to us on that even ing. But these gentlemen proved beyond i doubt that they are as well qualified to fight fire as the one is to give judicial opinion, or the other to graoe the highest office within the gift of the people of Virginia.

' Tax CilNTOit Contxhtioh. We are Indebted to our special repoiver for an account of tht tr ar saotions of the li-iiuocratio Convention, hM srt President, and -J as,; Fulton and W.J Yates Secretaries.

' Dr. McKoy, of Sampson, moved that a com mittee of one from each county represented be appointed by the delegates prent,.to draft resolutions for tbe action of the Convention, do. Here sprung up an angry debate between Messrs. Spears, of Harnett, and J. L. Holmes, of Wilmington, concerning the appointment of the co mm it tee-men. Mr. Spears' morion (f) prevailed. The committee, was finally ap- Sinted. among them. Spears of Harnett, and cEachen, of Robeson, and retired with a long hot of Anti-Know Nothings. While the Committee was incubating, a faint call on Wm. E. Hill,q., of Duplin, brought that gentleman nut as usual; and he went on in his own peculiarly happy style to say that Democratic principles, or rather modern De mocracy, was predominant xrt&TWSExx IfrWs Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, .

N.'s, and gave them "goes." He grabbed poor Sam, and poured into his astonished ear such a torrent of declamation, a sort of a bash of poetry and prose, i. e. blank versa, as mast nave astounded the siades of shakspear and 1 Pope, who are always about when that sort of thing is going on. After the mountain had la bored, Mr. Houston was called out. and be pro ceeded "to lift his feeble voice for Democracy." ue was quite poetical, too, and likened tbe Whig patty to passengers in a vessel, which, being wrecked, the aforesaid passengers were seeking for safety, and many of them had gone into Sam's ship. He invited them to go into the ranks of Democracy. He asked where Sam was T a very unnecessary question, as he is everywhere ; and then paid his respects to that ubiquitous personage, in tbe usual style of Dem ocratic art. He contended that the single Dem ocrat in tbe Massachusetts Legislature was en titled to a golden symbol, and the South ought to present it to him, (why didn't he hand round a hat for collections f) and talked about bis grandfather being an Irishman, the Roman Catholic church, and other lively topics. Air. Houston then called up A. A. MoKot Esq., of Sampson, who, as a matter of course, ex cused himself, but went on and gave poor Sam "hts" again. All these speeches were "fixed up" for the occasion. Mr. Ldwin Williams, of CasweS, was called out same against tbe same. Sam 1 Sam 1 1 Sam ! ! !

Tbe Convention then prooeeded to nominate the candidate for Congress each county voting as many votes as was cast in the last Governors election. Messrs. Warren Winslow, of Cumberland. T. D.

We calculate that Mr. Wise will receive : Democratic votes, 70,000 Whig votes, Flournoy, Know Nothing votes, Whig votes, D 50,000 15,600 65,000 65,000 Leaving Wise a majority of 10,000 The Chronicle assumes the total vote to be 140,000 votes, which is probably correct. Now there are known to be 72,000 members of th American party in Virginia. This force, toge ther with tbe 15,000 Whig votes whioh the Chroniole concedes to Mr. Flournoy, would make an aggregate of 87,000 rotes, leaving Mr. Wise but 53,000, and electing Flournoy by 34, 000 majority. That will do for to-day. x-The Washington correspondent of the New York Courier sys : "The Executive has signalised the occasion of Mr. Wise's visit to Washington by a very re markable act of proscription, as if to warn all tbe democratic members of the Know Nothing order of their fate, if caught in the ranks of opposition to the Virginia champion of the Ad ministration. Joseph F. Polk, a very worthy, respectable and excellent man. has been die missed from a sixteen hundred dollar clerkship in the Interior Department, which be has held. without reproach, for twenty four years. Mr. Polk is a consistent domoorat, having been ap pointed in 1831 by President Jackson. He has a high reputatiorvaa a controversialist on the Protestant side of the religions questions now agitating the country. He is learned, well in formed and courteous in his mode of managing discussion. As no personal objection has been or could be made to Mr. Polk, his dismissal was doubtless resolved upon as a warning to others in office that Know Nothingism must be pro scribed and crashed out wherever the power of the government can reacn it. His removal will prsduee no little sensation in Virginia, where the religious feelings of tbe voters have been freely appealed to by bota candidates."

Her backer, 'Sam,' says he will enter her now for any race. it is feared, however, that tbe owner of "Hughes" will not pay up the losses on his mare. Should this be the case, look out for black balls in the ballot-boxes at the next fall meeting of the turfmen, and especially of the friends of "Sam." THE SPEED OF RAILWAY CARS. Many of the accidents which happen to per sons attempting to cross railroads are the result of ignorance of the velocity of the iron horse when fairly underway. A writer in the Hart ford Courant gives some interesting facts which it may be well to bear in mind : ' It seems almost incredible that, as we glide smoothly along, tbe elegantly furnished car moves nearly twice its own length in a second of time about seventy-four feet. At this velo city we find that the locomotive driving wheels, six feet in diameter, make four revolutions per second. It is no idle piston rod that traverses the cylinder thus eight times per second. " If a man with a horse and carriage upon an unimportat public road in a country town should approach and cross the track at a speed of six miles per bour, which would be crossing rapid ly, an express train approaching at the moment would move towards him two hundred and fifty seven feet while he was in the act of crossing a distance barely sufficient to clear the horse and vehicle. If the horse was moving at a rate no faster than a walk, aa tbe track is usually cross ed, the train would move toward him, while in the act of crossing, more than five hundred feel. This fact accounts for the many accidents at such points. The person driving thinks he may cross because the train is a few rods distant. " How compares the highest speed of the train with the velocity of sound? When the whistle is opened at tbe eighty rod 'whistle post,' the train will advance near one hundred feet before the sound of the whistle traverses the distance to and is heard at the crossing. The velocity exceeds the flight of many of our birds. Dr. J. L. Corns toe k, tbe well-known author of several Ehilosophical works, informed the writer that e was recently passing through Western New York, when the train actually 'ran down' and killed a common hawk. The train was stopped and tbe game so rarely captured was secured." THE BAY LINE OF STEAMERS TO NOR FOLK. This is, and deservedly, one of the most popular and comfortable routes for travellers in the whole country, and hence its great success. A new attraction has just been added to it. The steamer North Carolina has had extensive addi tions and improvements made to it, and yester day took its regular place on the line. So now the steamers Louisiana and North Carolina which combine improvements, comforts and conveniences that can add a pleasure to all who make a passage in them are now running regu lary daily between Baltimore and Norfolk, one of them leaving each oity in the evening and arriving at their destination is Baltimore and Norfolk early tbe next morning, thus giving to the travellers a pleasant night's rest And then the officers of these steamers are models of promptnes, courtesy and judgment, which adds another pleasure to all who are .passengers. Bolt. American. An AxATEua Gardener's Experience. Let any man or woman state without ostentation any little matter he or she may have observed, and an immense amount of knowledge may be gained. Here now is a bint from one who is not a gardener by profession to gardeners in general. My brother has a small green-house, but he has no learned gardener; his tender punts generally died in tbe winter ; he used to put ou, in Terj Kirre wmuor, a ura iu ma eve ning so as to keep out the frost and damp at night, but the plants died nevertheless, not from frost, but trom damp: so he, being a meditative man, thought it was just possible he was going contrary to the laws of nature by making the night warm and the day cooL In despite of all gardeners be lighted his fire in the morning, when the weather was very cold, and let it go out at night ; he let the sun set, as he said, na turally. The result was all that he could wish be hardly lot! a plant It is wrong, said he. to bare light without neat ; and this 1 think is sound reason. Corresp. of "The Field." What are wi covinu to?

Oaiuingthe embel lishments, -the- facts of the case arej that "on M inday, the 19th, Napoleon III. and the Entr ptess Eugenia arrived at Dover, thence to Wind sor, remained the guests of the Queen fire days, met'with a distinguished reception from the Court and extraordinary enthusiastic greetings from th crowd, wera almost overwhelmed by congratulatory addresses from corporations and institutions, and returned to France amidst a tempest of hurrahs. On Monday morning, says our report, thou sands were assembled at Dover "to give the au gust visiters a hearty English reception." At nine o'clock the Emperor, Empress, and suite arrived at Calais on board the screw steamer Pelican, and about noon steamed slowly through a dense fog, and under salute from, abipa-df-war and batteries rendered r invisible by th thijk weather, into Dover harbor. - Prior Al bert was on band to receive his gnesta, and was accompanied by his usual attendants, and by the French Minister, Count Walowski, with Madame la Comtesse. The Emperor was ac companied by Marshal Valiant, Minister of War, tbe Duke de Bassxno, Count da Monte bello, and other gentlemen ; the Empress by several ladies of her household. Napoleon wore the uniform of a General of Division ; tbe Em press, for tbe. benefit of ladies be it related, a straw hat erav. cloak, and rrfafd dress: Lean Ting on the arni of Prince. Albert, the Empress (the Emperor by her side) walked to the War den Hotel, where they bald lunch, besides an address from the Corporation of Dover. Thenoe they proceeded by special train to the Brick layer's Arms Station, at London, where the Queen's carriage and an escort of troops were in waiting Embarking in the royal vehicle, the Impe rial party proceeded at a slow pace-th rough -ihe streets of London, along the Kent and West minster bridge, through Parliament street White Hall. Charing Cross. Pall Mall. St James, Piccadilly, Hyde Park, and by Victoria gate and JEastbourne terrace, to the raddington station, where cars were ready for Windsor. At evory point along this distance of five miles the streets were packed with spectators, and every window pane was crowded with gasers. At the Clubs especially, of whioh Louis Napoleon was formerly an habitue, the most lively curiosity was manifested by tbe members to catch a glimpse of the altered fortunes of their former associate. In passing the house in King street in which be formerly resided, the Emperor was observed to point it out to his wife. Immense cheering marked the whole course of the pro gress through London. On arrival at Windsor Castle, at 7 o'clock in the evening, the visitors were received in the (J rand Hall by tbe VJueen and her family, with the usual court officials, and tbe Lords Palmerston and Clarend&n. A State dinner" followed. Windsor was illu minated in tbe evening, and the Lord Mayor of London gave a banquet to the Prefect of the Seine, at which ceremonv were r resent the Con suls General of several European Powers, and of Mexico, Chili, and BraxiL We believe the United States were not represented on tbe occa sion. On Tuesday, the Emperor did not, as bad been expected, hunt with the Queen's stag hounds, but instead, walked in the grounds, and visited Queen Victoria's model farm and dairy. At 3 o'clock he received addresses from the Corporations of Windsor, the merchants and bankers of London and others, and from o'clock till 6 put three regiments of English troops through their evolutions. Then the Queen gave another grand dinner, and, later in the night an evening party. Wednesday, tbe loth, the Uneen conferred on the Emperor tbe investiture of the Garter. A grand chapter of the Order was held at Windsor, and the formalities which accompany the presentation of the piece of riband were duly gone through. The Queen buckled the garter around the Emperor's leg and placed the riband across his shoulders. A grand dinner, evening party, and concert concluded tbe eve ning. On Thursday, the Emperor and Empress, es corted by a detachment of the Queen's Life Guards, went to London to receive the address of the municipality. The cortege of close ear- riages proceeded at rather a rapid rate along the principal streets, in which it was estimated that not fewer than one million of spectators were assembled. Hundreds of flags were "hung on the outer walls," and a noticeable proportion bore tbe words "rEmpirec'est la paix-1" Guild hall had been newly decorated for the occasion. At the eastern end of the hall two thrones were placed on a raised dais, and overshadowed by a canopy of purple'velvet and gold. One of the thrones bore the cipher N., the other . Napo leon, Eugenie. Seats were reserved for tbe Cabinet Ministers, high officers, and corps dip lomatique. Clustered around the walls were devices draped with the flags of tbe allied na tions, and bearing the legends "Balaklava," "Alma," "Inkermann." Medallions bf Queen Victoria and Napoleon III. plentifully bestud ded the walls. Lords Palmerston, Clarendon, Lansdowne, and Panmure, with numerous les ser lights of the Administration, were present as also tbe United States Minister. Tbe Em- Eiror wore as usual the uniform of a General of ivieion. Eugenie's costume was of a white and green brocade silk. When the Recorder proceeded to read the address to the Emperor, tbe Empress arose and stood by the side of her husband. In the evening Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, Napoleon and Eugenie, visited the Ital ian Upera. rive hundred guineas were given aa the quotations for boxes, and thirty guineas for single stalls in the favored parts of the house where tbe light or the royal countenances might fall on the occupants. London, west of Temple Bar, was illuminated. On Friday, tbe Emperor and Empress, accom panied by the Queen and Prince Albert, visited the Crystal ralaoe, at Sydenham, where 20,000 persons were assembled to receive them.
