TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 2G, 18G6.
Testimonial to Cuptain M. F. Maury in
England-Southern Genius Flatteringly
Recognized.
On the evening of the 4th instant about one hundred
ai.? liirty gentlemen assembled at Willis' Rooms, Lon
. ir.on-tbe occasion of a banquet and testimonial to
CM iain M. F. MAUBY, late of the Cnnfederate navy, the
oi.li ct of this tribute being to makes suitable publio
recognition of the brilliant services conferred by thaj
Officer on the cause of maritime science. Sir JOHN
PABKTNGTON, M. P., presided, and among thOBe present
"were most of the repreientatives of foreign powers, and
? great number of distinguished British naval officers
?ind men of science. From the London Daily News ol
June 5 we take the following account of the proceed?
ings:
Jitter the usual toasts, followed by that of "The Di?
plomatic Corps," the chairman proceeded to present
the testimonial. In doing BO, addressing the gallant
captain personally, he congratulated him on having de?
voted bis noble ii tellect to a purpose which had in the
:renult conduced so greatly to the lasting benefit of man?
kind. He then traced the history of his scientific dis?
coveries, and referred to tie practical advantages whicn
the public were now deriving from them. In the voyage
of a ship from England to India or Ohina there was, he ob?
served, a saving of ?266. What then must be the annual
aggregate saving on the voyages of all the ships of this
country? lt was when Captain Maury's fimo was at its
height that there broke out the unfortunate civil war
between' the North and the South-a war in which,
being a Southerner by birth, he took the part worthy ot
.ibis character and career. [Loud cheers.] s
He then adverted to the fact that alter the war bad
terminated the gallant c ?ptain was invited by the Grand
Duke Constantine to ake up his abode in Russia, and
loy Prince Napoleon to accept a home in Prance. The
testimonial now to be presented commenced about a
year ago. Holland subscribed about ?1,000, Russia re i t
? ?1,000, and a large amount was also collected in this
?country. And he now, in the name of England, of Eu?
rope and of the civilized world, ha < to request Captain
Maury to accept a testimonial, considerably exceeding
In amount three thousand guineas, as a recognition of
esteem, admiration and gratitude. [Great cheering, j
He concluded by reading an address ex pr salve of the
object'of the presentation, and having handed the mo?
ney to the guest of the evening in a silver casket, he
proposed bis health, which was drunk with three times
three amid much enthusiasm.
Captain Maury commenced by repudiating the notion
that he was deserving such an acknowledgment. Forty.
years.ago, he said, it was his good fortune to enter on
? field of discovery in which the harvest was ready tu
hand. -Very ; neon-a fleet scattered all over the world \
wes engaged In/observing certain phenomeba of the Sea
?nd the air; and at a very small cost ships of all nations
were converted Into temples of soience. [Ot eera.] The
necessity of combinational the rerearohes made led to
the conference at Brussels,- and now he saw a brt'llant
Assemblage met to celebrate the results which had slnoe
been achieved. In conclusion, the gallant captain de?
clared his utter inability to acknowledge in appropriate
terms the handsome testimonial just presented, and
said he must therefore express it with sealed Ups and
the eloquence of silence. [Loud oheers.]
Among the remaining toasts was "Our Foreign Visi?
tors," proposed by Lord William Grosvenor, M. P.,
Which was responded to by Commodore Jansen, of the
Boyal Dutch Navy and General Beauregard, of the late
Confederate States of America, the latter of whom was
treated with speo'al cordiality.
NEGBO SUFFRAGE.-A long and interesting letter over
the signature "Pierre," ls published in the New York
News ot the 7th. Wo subjoin an extract. "Pierre" is
no less a personage than P. W. ALEXANDEB, of Georgia,
whose letters "from the front," during the war, gained
for biol a national reputation. His views upon the
vaxed question of negro suffrage are in the main cor
Toot. He says :
The Southern people do not resist the Radical pro?
position to confer political rights upon tho negroes from
any fear that tbe bitter would array themselves perma?
nently against them, but from a sincere conviction,
basad upon their intimate knowledge of the race, that
they are wholly ignorant of the duties and responsibili?
ties of the higher grades of citizenship, and by nature
far inferior to the Caucasian. The Radicals might con?
trol a majority of the freedmen for a time, but the negro
would soon con e to understand the hollowness of their
professions, and the selfish nature of their friendship.
I have never known any people more sensible to injus?
tice and undue partiality, or more quiok to distinguish
the true man from the false, tbe friend from the covert
too, than the slaves of the South. Their inferior posi?
tion taught them this necessary lesson. Soon a people,
now that they are free, would not be long at a loss aa to
tte value oj tho friendship ot snob a party as tbat lad
by Stevena and Greeley. And henee, I say if the freed?
men should ever be allowed to vote a deolded majority
of them, after the first year or two, would be round
voting with the whites. This, upon the presumption
that the S .Uth?rn people consent to confer upon them
the privilege of this great franchise. But what if they
should not so consent, and the privilege should, never?
theless, be forced upon them ? The extermination of
one or the other race.
How ASTOR BEOAMJE BI on,-A writer in Harper's
Magasine, speaking of the late JOHN JAOOB ABTOB, thu?
refers to the mode by which he acquired his great wealth :
It was neither furs nor teas that gave him $20,000 000.
When he arrived in Now York, it contained only 25,000
Inhabitants. In 1800, when he began to have money to
Invest, the oity had begun to doable in population, and
had advanced nearly a mile up the Island. Astor fore?
saw Ha future growth, and bought all the lands and lots
Just beyond the verge of the city that he could get. One
little anecdote' will show the wisdom of this proceed?
ing:
Ho sold a lot in the vicinity of Wall-street In 1810 for
.$3000, whioh was supposed to be somewhat under its
-value. The purchaser, after the papers were signed,
??med disposed to chuckle over his bargain.
"Why, Mr. Astor." said he, "this lot ls worth $12.000."
"Very true," replied As or, "but now you shall see
What I shall do with this money. With $8000-1 will buy
eighty lots above Canal-street. By the time your lot is
worth $12,000, my eighty lots will be worth $80,000,"
?whioh proved to be a fact.
In the course of time the leland was dotted all over
with Astor lands to such an extent that the whole In?
come from his estate for fifty years could be Invested in
new houses, without buying any more land,
A NATIONAL PICTURE -The Richmond Times makes
the following art suggestion:
There is, we believe, still a vacant panel in the rotun?
da of the Capitol at Wa'hin ton, which patiently awaits
its inevitable fate, in the form of Borne hideous daub of
-a "national painting." It Is the panel next to that fa
.mons "shin piece," where the talent of the artist was
?exhausted in painting the well developed legs of the
.signers of the Declaration of independence. AB the
.Jacobins are doubtless proud of the late splendid tri?
umph of Ame i ican valor over a feeble, old. and help
lessprisouer, let Congres? appropriate $50,000 fora gi?
gantic painting o' the ' Phi lng shackles upon Jefferson
Davis." lt is ;i ' agnifio nt subject for an accomplished
artist The cold, damp, cheerless cell, the small iron
bedstead, the Iravn ent of mouldy bread, the oveiturned
dm oup of dirtv water, th . bold assault of a dozen stal?
wart armed soldiers np ?ii a feeble old prisoner, the
heavy manxcles and the uplifted uledse-hammer of the
herculean blaokamliu, are splendid materials for a great
-national picture, AH a certain poetic licence is allowed
oj to artist?, head turnkey Miles should be introduced
looking at this noble and inspiriting exhibition of Ame?
rican valor and humanity through a double-barred win?
dow.
A FBEEDMAN EXPLAINS.- A freedman explains the
.diff?rence between a Yankee and a Southerner 'thustly :'
Kow, wolfe folks, Fae a gwii e to tell you de difference
'tiween a Southern man and a Yank? e. Well, do South?

Now, white folks, du t's do difference 'tween de Southern

GUSTAVE DOBK.-1 his artist, whose genius and Indus?
try are alike marvellous, bas supplied forty-three illus?
trations to the "Authentic History of Captain Castas

just translated into English. It ls a story of the Mun?
chausen class, and the hero, ot the Bobadil family, ?B a
ludicrous brag?.rt who applied artificial contrivances
to repair the ravages ..f war, until scaroely a btt of bis
original person romaine I to him. The book ls amusing,

In the European cities money is firm in price, and I

Of the financial situation in England the London
Economist, of June 9, says:
The recovery of the money market has made fur?
ther progress this week. It would have made very
considerable progress but for the failure of the Agra
Bank.
It is said that a large amount of the Agra Bank's ac?
ceptances fall due to-day, and it remains to be seen
what inconvenience will become manifest in conse?
quence It is, perhaps, too much to expect that we
have seen the laBt of the important failures; but, apart
firoiD any greater calamity than there ia any reason to
apprehend, the hxprovement in tho money market
and the restoration in the tone of commercial confi?
dence may be expected to be somewhat rapid and de

The bank return of Wednesday night exhibits four |
great cjangoB. In toe first place, the total bullion is 1
one and a hali millions more, arising from the large
American arrivals. Secondly the other securities are
one and three-quarter millions less, indicating greater
facilities, and here and there lower rates in Lombard
street. Thirdly, the bankin? reservo two millions
more. And lastly, the outstanding circulation is more
than half a million less. All these are most satisfactory
indications.
The banking reserve is now two and three-quarter
millions-and at least three millions will gradually be
added to it out of the bank note circulation. The other
securities are still nearly1 hirty-two millions, and the j
private doposUs over twenty millions. As confidence
revives, five to six millions of deposits will be applied
in diminution of the advances obtained on securities,
still leaving, however, a large margin for the further
augmentation of the banking reserve. It is quite possi?
ble that the reserve may be so strengthened in the
course of i:he next few days as to justify the directors |
in reducing the official rate at least 1 per cent A meas?
ure of this kind should, under pre-ent exceptional cir?
cumstances, bo adopted as early BB possible The drain j
of gold is quite at an end. But the1 nervous oonse- j
quences ot the panio remain-and with nervous pa?
tients nothing is so successful as a display of confidence |
on the pari; of great authorities. Ten per oent. ls a se?
vere,regimen, and the bank directors will do well to
avail themselves of the earliest oocaslon on which to |
commence some mitigation of lt.
