Ac cording to the Owl, in caae of an absolute defeat of the bill, the ministry would resign; hut If the bill ia car ried by a small majority soma of the miuistera will retire, and a coalition ministry will be formed. In the Houae of Commons on the 23th ult.. the bill abolishing the declaration of conformity to the liturgy of the Church of England by Fellows of Colleges, waa passed through the committee by 203 against 235. The wife of Thornes Carlyle died very suddenly while taking a carriage ride in Hyde Park London. Cars-A—Cantos, March 13.—The Imperial army commanded by Qtiil Pascha has obtained a complete victory over 60,000 rebels, supposed to be the residue of the army of the Taepings in the northeast. The conflict lasted two days, and resulted in all the rebels being either slaughtered or taken prisoners. The Imperial army was being disbanded. Affairs in- Canada.—The Canadians announce themselves relieved of any further apprehensions con cerning raids or incursions by the Fenians. The mi litia fores has been disbanded, and the people arc rapidly resuming their peaceful occupations. The Courts for the trial of Fenian prisoners are still in session. A dispatch from Cornwall states that Lieut. CoL Wheeler, who gave evidence for the prosscutiou, turns out to be a British spy. At Eastport, where so much excitement waa engendered about two weeks ago, all at present is profoundly quiet. A vague report Thowever was prevalent on the 2d, that the United States steamer Winooski had left Eastport in pursuit of a Fenian privateer. The alleged privateer is said to have been boarded and a large number of armed men and a quantity of arms discovered. General Meade and staff, with all the troops lately sent to Eastport, loft for Boston on the 2d inst. Tee Meitfiiis Biot.—The Nashville Tress and Times of Monday morning publishes an anonymous letter, purporting to have been written by a citizen of Memphis to Gov. Brownlow, which says : “For a a long time the Irish police have been only too glad to get an opportunity to‘kill a nigger.’ Anything was sufficient to cause the arrest of one, and five dollars c ould procure his release, according to report. The colored people have hated them, very naturally, and reached Liverpool when the Peruvian left that port. From Germany we learn that Prussia declines to dis arm her forAs so long eg Austria continues to main- ttfn her armaments on the Italian frontier. Later advices from Germany state that all danger of war has ceased. and that a mutual disarmament will take place.

He Rives it a9 his opinion that the Uuion, as contemplated by the Constitu tion, no ioDger exists, and expresses appre hensions that free institutions are in danger, if the designs of the radical cabal controlling Congress be not soon abandoned or thwarted. It is stated, also, that he draws a vivid pic-' ture of the future which awaits the people of the South in the embrace of such a Gov ernment as is being established. Notwith standing the gloomy prospects, however, be counsels forbearance and endurance on their part, and rests his chief hope on the return ot moderation among the misled people ol the North, and the overthrow of the ambi tious leaders, whose course would drive any but a noble and patient people to despera tion, and lead the Government on a wild ca reer of misrule aQd tyranny, from thence to be precipitated into an abyss of greater evils than it has yet encountered. As an earnest and up r ight man, regardless of partisan con siderations, Mr. Bell has always stood high in the popular esteem, and we do hope that our people will .partake of his calm, wise counsel; that they will look upon hij admo nitions as a faithful exposition of the true interests of our common country- As for the prattle about war and bloodshed which seems to please the' fancy of some people, we really thick we have had enough of that. We can get along very well without any more fighting; at least for the present. No oue is our friend who talks about war.

HON. C. C. CLAY AT HOME. We learn trom an Alabama paper that Mr. Clay reached bis home in that State on the 1st instaut., and was met by a large numbei of friends who had assembled to greet him at the residence of his father. It ia stated thnt he met his visitors with that cordiality which evinced how rejoiced he was to see old facts again after so long and so eventful a separa tion- Although looking to be in good health, the trouble, harrassment and (privations of pi ison life have left marks upon bis frame, and his head i9 sprinkled with premature grey. His conversation partook largely o recitals of his prison experiences, but it was free from any bitterness of censure or acri mony of feeling. He did not go to Wash ington, as was so persistently affirmed by the Northern press, but proceeded immedi ately from Fortress Monroe to Petersburg, \a., from which place he went directly home. Mr. Clay was accompanied by his accomplished lady, who is an equal sharer in the esteem and admiration which is ever shown for that exalted womanly devotion which in the heart of the true wife is only the more developed and fixed when the trials of adversity encompass the husband. GREAT FRESHETS IV THE MISSIS SIPPI, The New Orleaus papers come to us filled v» ith accounts of the late freshets in the MississiDDl River and her. tributaries, caus ing great suffering and a great uestruction of property. The levees, it appears, have given way in several places, and whole sec tions have become inundated. Speaking oi one crevasse the Picayune says that en gineers and workmen had gone to work on its repair twenty miles below the city.' The break was three feet deep and the water pouring over it quite freely, submerging the country opposite. Another crevasse is spoken of as being three acres wide, and the water is threatening to overwhelm mauy of the plantations in the Parish of St. Ber nard ■ Considerable alarm exists, and every a tow with the police. Oue or two were killed on both sides, and then the police called for help, and went into un indiscriminate slaughter of the-blacks, espe cially the soldiers, wherever found. From all that I can learn twenty-five or thirty blacks have been killed, nearly all of them without the least provocation." The Press and Times (Radical) also says : “Gen. Fisk has received a letter from Gen. Runkle, Superintendent of Frecdmen at Memphis, stating that the late difficul ties bad commenced between a squad of discharged colored soldiers and a party of policemen ; that there was a good deal of bad whisky at the bottom of the trouble ; and that the negroes were, most at fault at the commencement of the.riot. people turning out with alacrity to repair the break. At Rapides in the Northern part of Louisiana, it is stated that for the Iasi month there ha9 been rain, the crops have suffered terribly, and Red River is bank full and rising at the rate of four inches an hour, which was a fearful pressure upon the levees—weak iu many places—and much danger is apprehended. DEPOSITS IN NATIONAL BANKS. We have always conceived it a defect in the organization of the National banks that security Whs not provided for depositors equally with note-holders. Can there be any diffeience in justice between these two classes of creditors of banks ? The failure ol oue of these banks in Washington must involve the depositors in loss, and, perhaps, great embarrassment- It is right to protect the note-ho'ders, constituting as they do, a large class of the community; but this should Dot be at the expense of the depositors- A por tion of these, also, form a class of the com munity, in the absence of Savings banks, that require protection. Tbelr deposits may be used to pay the note-holders, where the bonds deposited do not cover the whole amount of the claims on the bank that fails to meet its obligations. In the great majority of cases it is the funds of depositors on which loans and discounts are made. They constitute much the largest source of bank profits. There is do justice iu the discrimination. There is none made in countries where the principles of banking are best understood. In Great Britain depositors and note-holders are placed on the same footing. It is hoped that Congress will, before it adjourns, amend, in this respect, the law establishing the* Na tional banks. Tax On Oowuomm or Namtilli, Muirm* AND Chamanoooa Tun to. as ■tmmmsD.—The Nashville Union A American of the 8th Instant says : It beoomea oar duty this morning to chronicle the peeeege, by the Senate yesterday, of a bill to take the city goTernmente of Nashville, Memphis and Chatta nooga respectively, out of the henda of their people, and vest them in the h.nh. of commissioners ap pointed by the Governor. Why It was done we have not the remotest notion. It will peas the House aa a matter of course, and then we shell see what we shall see. The Case of Himbt G. Woeeeer, the Alleged Defaulter.— Boston, Sunday, May Henry G. Wheeler, the President of the Florida and Brunswick Railroad, and agent for the Atohleon and Pike’e Peak Railroad, whose arrest has been announced, waa yes terday belore the Supreme Court on a petition for a reduction ot bail. He claims that the two hundred bonds were his in payment of services rendered in disposing of one thousand of the game bonds for the Company in a foreign market, and that the failure of the foreign negotiations wae by reason of the Compa ny'* unwarrantable interference. The Company olaim that Wheeler's ownership in the two hundred bonds waa contingent upon his suc cessfully disposing of the other thousand ; that these last bonds remained unsold in the European market for eome time, and were finally returned to New York, and that therefore he la not entitled to the possession of the $200,000 worth of bonds, having failed to fulfil the conditions of the contract. Ninety-one of the £100,000 The ease waa not finished. Mr. end Mr*. Jeff. D is via. Fortress Monos, May 4, 1866.1 Mrs. Jeff. Davis has taken np her quarters She remained there lest ioualy sent for her baggage and man servant Dr. Cooper, Post Sur geon, and, by virtue of such portion, the medical attendant of Mr. Davis, has given her apartments in the house occupied by himself and family. The Doctor, it will be remembered, is not only the medical ad viser of Mr. Davis, but also furnishes him his meals from his own table. Mrs. Davis obtained permission to visit her husband direct from President Johnson. But By Telegraph. THE POSTAL BILL PASSED. The Amendment to Prevent Appoint* menu by the President Stricken Onto. Washington, May 11.—The Senate today paased the Postal Appropriation till, after striking out the amendment heretofore adopted preventing parties ap pointed during the Congressional recess from recov ering any pay until'confirmed by the Senate. • . .. Before the Disease of the bill. Mr. Cowan made a BtriSTough^riTeSity Sfodul: th.tthoa.who interpi— to pm gence that greatly surprises very many here. The restrictions are that she is not to nse any influence or contribute any aid to the rescue of Mr. Davis or his release otherwise than through the proper Government chan nels* The indulgence granted her admits her to unconstrained interviews with her hus band, and at all hours of the day between reveille and sunset. It is not enjoined that an officer shall be in the room with them, neither is it forbidden. In the absence of such injunction, General Miles to-day al lowed her tu visit her husband unattended by an officer. A sentinel, however, -walks back and forth continually in front of the barred windows of his room. Last, and not least, no limit is placed upon the length of her visit. ” ., • In answer to a question how long she pro! posed to make her visit, Mrs. Davis said em phatically, “I intend to remain until Mr. Davis is ordered away for trial, or he is- re leased from prison or dies.” And she is a woman of that decision and spirit that she will do what she says, unless some interme diate interdiction occurs to prevent it. She evidently has no such fears, and it is be lieved she knows too well the tenure of her sojourn, to allow herself to entertain any such apprehensions. It is natural for women to be enthusiastic, particularly when their strongest affections and more cherished hopes are interested. Mrs. Davis is probably not an exception. It is certain that she is enthusiastically hopeful regardiug the future of Mr. Davis. She ex presses the sure belief that he will very soon be released on his parole. It is possible that the wish in her case is father to thp thought, but she talks with that degree of assurance on the topic carrying conviction of a stronger basis for the belief she expresses than idle surmises founded on delusive hope. There might be persons, she says, who would like to rescue Mr. Davis from prison, but she scouts the idea of his accepting any such re lease. He will not go away from here, she 1 declares, unless in a manner comporting with his sense of high honor ; and she claims for vent the Southern States from being represented In Congress were dieunlonlaU, and that opposition to restoration was euperinduced by the fear of losing political power. A TRUE BILL FOtfND AGAINST JEF FERSON DAVIS FOR TREASON. Judge Underwood Gone to Washington. Norfolk, May 11.—At a late hour yesterday after noon the Grand Jury of the United State* Circuit Court in session here brought in a true bill against Jefferson Davis for treason.

Cincinnati, May 4.—The Convention called to con. eider the propriety of organizing a separate State Government for East Tennessee met at Knoxville yesterday. Judge Sam del Rogers presided. Judge Rodgers said he hop&l the members would act de liberately and with caution. This woe but an ad journed meeting of the Convention at Greenville, held during the dark days of the rebellion. We pro pose to continue the movement. It is no secession movement. If we secede, it will be from the Rebel people to join Union people. East Taunesse* long de sired separate State government, and the new State can be made one of the richest in the Union. At the conclusion of the President's remarks, Colonel Tem ple, from the Committee on Resolutions and Business, reported an address, which waa unanimoualy adopted, stating that the scheme had been Ibng cherished by East Tennessee. The people of the State differ in soul, habit end.custom.' The differences between the people are Ineradi cable. West of the mountain* the people are oil Bebsls; ejp/ef it ail are Union.

Before hi* arrival it leem, that the sheriff had been forced by tbe armed mob of negroes, befcr* the Agent of the Frccdmcn’s Bureau, to give an account of his conduct. The decision of that officer, perhaps, dispel sea the armed rioters, for when the marshal arrived they made no further demonstration.
