Perharw, as pertinent, or, at all events, as collateral to tbe queetion now under discus sion, and ttoou likely to be under still graver ditK'UHHion, touching the conduct of 8pain toward our Governmeut during the rebellion, it may lie well to revive the testimony of Admiral Skmmks to the reception which the Sumter had in the port of Cadiz.

The Sumter ran acrom the Atlantic from Martinique, in December. 18C1. after capturing seventeen umall trading vessels, in search of freeh fields and pastures new" and also to avoid our cruisers. The first European port dhonrade was Cadiz and. eaysSF.MMKX, "the officials began to annoy us even before we let go our anchor." The Sumter was quarantined at once, and her arrival was telegraphed to Madrid.

The very next morning Se.mmtj received a peremptory order from the military Governor of Cadiz to proceed to sea within twenty-four hours." This order must have come from the Gov ernment at Madrid instantly on the news of the Sumter' i arrival. Semmkj protested in a letter full of doctrine regarding de facto anddejare belligerency; but, rightly con jecturing that this logic might not serve his turn, he took the precaution to add that his ship was in a crippled condition. She is damaged in her hull, is leaking badly, is un-teaxcorthy, and will require to be docked and repaired before it will be pogible far her -to proceed to sea." To complete his picture of distress he said: I have ou board forty three prisoners, confined within a small space, greatly to their illsawmfort, and simple hummlty would seem to dictate that I should be permitted to hand tbeai over to the care of their Oonsul on This adroit appeal procured, of course, what ilia representation of Confederate belligerency" had not. A Skmmks Hays, even a neutral could not resist tho apieal for a ship in distress, on tbe ground of "simple humanity." lie received permission to land his priHon; rs and remain a sufficient time to put tho arory repair upon his tdiip." But the Spanish official even then stuck to the letter of the law. says in tbe mean time, tbe most oSeaslTe espionage was exercised toward me.

A gnant-bnot waa anchored nar by, which overhauled all shore boat which passed between the Utantar aad the fchore and ou the very evening of my arrival a Spanish frigate came down from the dork-yard and anchored near my ship. Engineers and arcngineera, and other oO-cJala. whose UUe it were tedious to enumerate, earne oa board, to measure the length of the ship and the breadth of the ah), calculate her tonnage, inspect ht boilers, examine into the quantity of water ah aaatto during the twenty-fear honra, and to deter-mrna generally wMAtr raoUy Nwre (att condition sad rtprttmttd urelf to kc to, or whether we were deceiving Her Majesty and tho Minister of the Universal Yankee Nation at Madrid, for some atnlatsr purpose. Tbe permlaaioa came, at length, to go into dock." Could anything express more vividly the way in which every point of international law was interpreted by the Spanish Government against Skmmts and the Sumter, and in favor of the Minister of the Universal Yankee Nation at Madrid The whole thing is described much more at length by Sjucmfjb himself. And what was the result of the docking Bo far from being as helpless as Scxmes represented, the Sumter was found as sound and tight as a bottle, in every part of her, except tho propeller sleeve." Meanwhile, however, his crew began to nut away.

I had not half-a-dozen South- I em-born men among my crew, says the Captain, "they were mostly foreigners," Accordingly, he addressed another note, fall, as Bsaal. of it fact and de jure belligerency, to the Governor of the city, accusing Mr. EoGUvrox, oox Consul at Cadiz, of harhor-insr the seamen. Bat, he sadly adds, I took be Utfo-IIorh precisely what I expected by this remonstrance, that is to say, nothing." The trouUe was just this I was fichting against orid tbe tsMcg the ttatimfA apt-tit, spina and pimps ol a rrmjntnl Ovnrrnment. Our isoulhern in tw ry of Hpoin.

l'KUKY, and of Mr. Consul were tMCouiing very restive, and were constantly wtiding me invitations to go to M-a." Indeel, no sMitier had he got out of the dock, than otie uioni-ing. before 1 had turned out" of my bed, hays Skmmks the (rovemor's aid-tlt-cutiip came ou "with a peremptory order from bis to depart within nix Accordingly, Kkm.mkj "went on shore for the first time to have an interview with this blockhead." The Governor proved to be a biill-neekeil How, with whom I naw at tho tirst glance it would be of liltle use to reason one of those under-head id military men who never look, or care to look, lx-yoinl the or.Vrs of thiir wNV-rior." Skmmkh repitwnted that he was out of coal, and must write to Mr. Yancky in London for funils to buy it, ami hat he vuld not tfo to sea, since a steajiier could no more go to sea without fuel, than a sailing ship without a mast Tint he was However, tin blockhead' (everybody is a block 1 iead" who does not agTe with Sr.MMt...) consi-iiU-d to telegraph to Madrid Skvimks' Htatemeut that be was out of fuel. but." he added, if no reply comes within he six hours, you must iro to sea." Anil go he did.

How be managed to find fuel to run round to 'Gibraltar is none of our business just now. "Her Majesty graciously gave permission to remain another twenty-four but the ungrateful adds. "She hud been a liltle too iiuu'racioiis in met in the hours out to inc." Such was the ex jk-i ience of Si i in lie Sumter. No proposit ion of I law is clearer," says that gentleman, in conclusion, than that a disabled belligerent ci nisei and a stcauu without coal islia-bled be expelled from a neutral port, and yet the Sinntrr was, in fact, expelled I'ioiii To which we cm only reply that it looks, therefore, very much as if Spain did not admit that Smnii-r was a "belligerent cruiser." So goes Si.mmi.s' own ai'eotint. and we shall prefer to lot it stand without comment, and without tho historic comparisons it may suggest to our own, and perhaps to Knurl ish minds.

Tho Confederate Caplayr had two. and only two, experiences of he Spanish idea of Oitil'cderato uaval belligerency." The tirst was at Cuba, where, as we narrated the other day, tlie Cousul-Gciioral not only got him out of tho port of Cionfuego. but banded back every one of his prizes to theiroriginal owners; the second waf.at Cadiz, as just ncorded. "I never afterw ard troubled her Majesty," concludes Soimm, "either iu her home ports, or those of any of her colonies, and henceforth rarely entered any but an English or a French port." But be now tells us he looks for his revonge in the belief that the United States will reward Spain by violating tbe international law which she preserved, aud that in tho affair of Cuba Spain will 1h kicked and cuffed by the very Power to which she truckled." Whether Semmks will provo a proibet in this respect remains to be seen. Tbe l.BidoBi Directory.

Whoever adds a thoroughly good haud-lxok of any kind commercial, philological, biographical, historical, medical, or what not to literature and to businesH, is a public benefactor. If time is money, he adds untold millions to national wealth if the pomiy saved is apenny earned, the minute saved is the minute earned, and ho he adds hundreds of years to individual or national life if the saving of money and annoyance is a charity in life, he is a great philanthropist and if whatever is worth doing is worth doing well, he deserves the meed of welldoing and enough public praise to make his example followed. In proiMirtion to the numtier of people whose time, money, and worry the book saves, in that proportion the book is praiseworthy. Such a treasure of compactness, completeness and system in civic information is tho Ixndoii Directory a volume worthy of study not less in that city than here in New-Yirk, and of studv most of all by the compilers of our directories, which it so far surpasses in every respect. That it is a bigger lmok than the New-York Directory, or than the directory of any American city, is true; but then, while having but twice the size of ours, it has records of five times the population, five times as full, and a hundred times as systematic.

Its name is the Post Office Loudon Directory, (compiled officially, of course.) but it coutains no less than eleven distinct directories, each compiled with indescribable accuracy and completeness namely, the Official, the Street, the Commercial, the Trades, the Law, the Court, the Parliamentary, the Postal, the City, the Conveyance and the Banking Directory, besides an additional amount of miscellaneous business information, useful for everyday life, which we, in oar blessed New-York, have scattered in a mid rod little papers and circulars, pasted and pinned up in every counting-room. All this is arranged to perfection, and indexed so that he that runs may read. To attempt to convey an adequate idea of the perfection of this time-saving compendium would be futile. If you know only one pertinent fact about a person whom you are seeking, you find all in the Directory. If you know the street he lives in, bat not his place of business; his place of business, but not his residence; bis name, without either; sis enMaeis, hmtnot IU name; you will find in one of four different places the key to alL If you wish to know regarding any Tillage in England, how to get there, by what railrosd and at what hour, or what its population, you have it in an instant.

In the "postal, city and clerical, banking and similar portions, all necessary information for transacting business is given, the exact arrangement of departments, and the name and position of every person employed, down to the fourth -elaaa nUk." la than TnuW Di Sinus, tint rectory, the information is so exact that, for example, among "Corn and Coal merchants. those who do lxith businesses and those who do one and not the other, are classified. And the same particularity is extended to countless details. On tbe other han3. the mechanical matters of clear, fine type, of tious produced by using different type, of skillful abbreviations, of jerfect legibility amid such compact information, are only to appreciated by actual examination.

How is it, to enmc to one practical point, that ten or twenty times tbe information our Directories have, with infinitely more system, is to tie had in but twice the space Simply by making this sort of success paramount, and the money to 1)0 derived by advertising secondary. First, pains are spared to perfect and arrange information, at any cost and next there is an utter absence of our custom of filling tip the pages with advertisements, sowing them on flyleaves through the volume, printing them on all the margins, top. bottom and sides, and even diagonally across the regular printed pages, and increasing the size of the type, 'a man's address is given iu. in proportion to the money he pays for having it done. This is the time for preparing or bringing out in Directories in a part of our great cities; and, if their compilers wish to le reckoned among the philanthropists and public benefactors we have spoken of, let them heed our hint.

One-half the our Directories now occupy, would, if properly used, give equal information in ten times handier and liett'T shape. space, properly used, would make thctu invaluable lieasurics of municipal and business knowledge. Afw.VorU the lol Vtrnely Pepalnled ot nil fiiiri. Tlie startling of the Hi alt Hoard, which we published yesterday, confirms the fact heretofore stated that is the most delist ly populated of all the cities which we are accustomed to consider civil ized. There is tli'tig painfully suggestive in the figures which indicate the density of isipul.it ion in the southern part of the City.

below Kouiteeiith-sticet. lieyond -which, owing to the want of proper and adequate means of cheap transportation, the vast majority of our citizens cannot aflonl to li ve and below which, ow ing to the want of proper ami adequate house room, they are compelled to live so huddled together as to largely increase the death rate of the City. Tbe statement of the proportion of inhab itants to the houses in the lower part of t'nis City, as given in tho report published, are startling enough, but Ix-come more so when compared with like statistics of other cities, the percentage ot persons to tlie dwellings in the whole City of New-York is fully as great as that of London, averaging about 7.8 person to each dwelling, but there is no part of London or Paris as densely populated as certain districts of New-York. In 15,040 dwellings of this City used as tenement-houses, no less than 730,683 persons dwell, or 47.2T persons to each dwelling. It will hardly lie-wondered at after this statement, that the death-rate iu these overcrowded districts averages one person in every twentv-four of the population, aud the sick-rate of those iu tenement-houses nearly one in four.

These statistics are painful snd terrible argnmeuts for the alxtolute necessity of securing more rapid and cheaper means of City transportation. Tlie assurance of the Inspector of Buildings that from 2,000 to 2,100 buildings are being annually erected is not enough the population is increasing in like proportion, and there is no remedy but rapid and adequate means of transportation. Mayor Il.uxis right in pronouncing this the most diflicultof all the problems which New-York has to solve. We hope he will not fail to keep pegging away at it, and continually agitate the subject; else we fear that underground railroads, elevated railways, the opening of new avenues from the Lattery northward, and the widening of Broadway will forever remain mere dreams and vain projects. Tlie present street railway companies, with their immense political and moneyed influence, will never allow thorn to be completed uuless the public agitation of the citizens who are robbed of money, comfort, health and even life, shall force the existing monopolies to submit to a little of that wholesome competition which is tho life Of trade, aud in this instance the life of the customers.

The Vew TOovenaeat in tVamaa1 Edateav. tioa. We are glal to see goiug the rounds of the religious papers, as last week they were published in tbe daily journals, the series of resolutions passed bv the meeting of New-Y'ork ladies reference to woman's education. Mrs. Marshall O.

Roberts was the presiding officer of the meeting, and, as we stated on Sunday last, the active sympathy and aid of the assembled ladies was pledged to the furtherance of the objects of the American Woman's Educational Association. This organization, under the leadership of that respected veteran of educational and economic discussion. Miss CatiiakXnk E. Beechkr, has for many years been active in laboring for the successive reforms and improvements which have grown up in tbe line of schools and colleges for girls. We deem their present object of sufficient importance to speak of it more in detail.

It is to secure the establishment of cadotrrd inttitutwn which shall train women for their distinctive professions, as men are trained for theirs. Aa "nurse of infancy and of the sick, as educa tor of childhood, as the chief minister of the family state," they chum that woman has most momentous and important duties, which she now generally undertakes in such ignorance of their requirements as would cause a man, entering a profession with simi lar lack of knowledge aud tralnliij, to Toe laughed to scorn. aim, therefore, to cause domestic economy, health-keeping; and house-keeping, to be introduced as subjects of regular instruction in schools for girls to restore in such institutions a training in the art of sewing, which is so needful for the poor" and. in the endowed establishments to le labored for. ther would, also 13 fi86a impart; ti students the science and practice of certain light outdoor employments, as suitably and wholesome for women, and opening up avenues of wealth and independence such as raising fruits and flowers, the culture: of silk, the raising of bees and the superintendence of dairy farms.

Certainly this is a far more sensible and practical line for agitation to take than the wild chase after the ballot, which seems just now ftilidive turned the heads of thoe who claim to be the friends of woman. Femalo suffrage "kbas, at least, two bides for dis-cnssioa atid the eoni are just now very decidedly id the majority over the pro. Whatever ruen Jnay think about woman," iu the abstract, hey do not want their own wives and sisters and daughters mixing in the very dirty pilots of politics. But to such an enterprise this there are not two sides. Men and women must alike rejoice to see so useful an undertaking.

And men will much more willinglvgive in liberal measure to promote the probability of happier homes, than they will vpJtofTor the entrance of political discussions fnd dissensions as a new element of domestic intercourse. TheJietolution, we see, in discussing the almvetnrifationed meeting and its objects, says it thinks that men are tsVttiT fitted than women for all tbe flrndg-ery of dnnijiotic life. They can stand fire bettT. riot only lqtha: tiattle-firld bat round the cook stoves; they excel jM cooks. They are better fitted to wash and Iron, ind the sewing-machine i their peculiar sphere, I fi women must give birth to children, Uie least th men can do is to help take care of them." ButjiuriitoTTunatelv.all this is enlarging the sphoro of "men, who are already satisfied with the aniotint of lalsir they have to do iu "helping to take care" of their offspring.

The questions of the day are: How can the just rights of woman be secured, for property aud person and how can she be letter fitted to fill her important part in life Wefaijtosee that "female siillrage" an-swersycither of these. But completer education, (iniore thorough training and a greater Variety of avocation will do much for the gdncral intelligence and efficiency of t. woman, as a class. And as for the rest, men would cejtainlv lie as willing to grant such inoasureii'as their wives, mothers and sisters should wish to ask for themselves find their as to confer the ballot and the powej; of office, by which the extreme re formers hope to gain all that they wish. Inasmuch as it must be the men who grant either or tho other, why should women jiersist iii asking for what they are most unlikely to'get Evidently the sense of the thingis With tbe ladies of tbe Educational Association, and we wish them success.

SuKlucfALI, Ameer of Afghanistan, and the prpte'ge' of the British Government, is now said to be so well established in his seat on tbe throne that his uncles, nephews and cousins, jvho have for a long time been zealously: endeavoring to depose and murder him, have given up the attempt in despair. Six hundred thousand dollars a year subsidy froui the British Government, together with what virtually amounts to a guarantee of bis throne against rivals, places him in a position of all but absolute security, his rivals being now without money, men, or even jinoral support from Russia. England has guaranteed the independence of Afghanistan, as ell as pledged herself to maintain him upon the throne. Should trouble arise, England could in a few weeks send an army to his support far larger than the entire Russian forces in Central Asia, and maintain it with ease, while it is more than problematical whether Russia could, for many years to come, spare a couple of thousand men to the aid bf his enemies, without endangering the supremacy she has acquired at so great cost, and held by so precarious a tenure, over the warlike tribes of Turkistan. So far it would seem as if the policy of Lord' LAwbrnck were about to prove a diplomatic triumph for England, notwithstanding the gloomy fbrelxMliugs of the Anfc'lo-Indiau Russo-phobists." We learn by cable that Shkrb Alt, feeling himself at last secure, is about to consolidate his power bv the reorganization of his army probably on the Anglo-Indian model the establishment' of a Police force, and by forbidding! all his subjects not actually enrolled; in his service, to carry arms; These measures arc the first fruits of the tneCting between the Ameer and Lord MaY al Umballa, at which it is clear that a good deal passed besides the flowery compliments and interchange of jeweled swords about which so much has been written and Lord Lawrcnck's policy seems not only to nave the merit of being successful in ereetiug a bulwark for England against possible- Russian aggression, but bids fair to prove the means of at once guaranteeing' peace and independence to CabnL and establishing law and order among the most turbulent people in Asia.

A at Kwaliala RdiraUs Taews mm tmm Al. Tbswaat QswatJoa. Mr. McCarthy's able speech on the Alabama question, delivered last week, shows how sensibly many Englishmen ean regard this dispute. As an editor of a well-known English Radical journal, the speaker undoubtedly represents the views of the extreme itadical Party of Great Britain.

They have no jealousy or hostility toward this country. They undoubtedly, as Mr. McCxu-tht said, felt as much interest in the cause of the Sorth as they would that of Eng land. They defended our position against the open hostility and the covert at tacks' of the commercial and aristocratic classes, and were as warm for us as they had ever been for a purely British cause. It is well known that at that time the ardor with which our friends fought our battles in English society, brought upon them many enmities: The London Star and its editor were known then as strong friends of America, when to be our friends cost no little socially.

The uadical Party took the position then which ilr. VIcCaktuy assumed In the Cooper Hall, that the escape of the Alalama was an illegal proceeding, and oecurrins through the neglect or treachery of the Government official. Thej have always held what is also main tained by the best writers on international lawrt that Great Britain was bnand so to modify her municipal law as to observe international law; and that, contrary to Mr. LAUtrs opinion, our Consul was not at all bound to institute proceedings in English Courts against suspected vessels. The' Radicals have always proclaimed that England's first dnty was to maintain peace and neutrality toward the belligerents and if her local law was not sufficient for this, she must modify it.

Furthermore, they have generally held, as Mr. Mill expressed it, that the main question was the amount of damages, and not whether damages were due," from the Alabama' depredations. Mr. McCxktht fully agrees with this Radical position. But, like all Englishmen, he also feels that his country could not submit to such humiliation as Mr.

Soger's speech appears to propose, aud even offer to settle so largo a bill of damages thus presented. On the point of the want of English sympathy," his remarks are, first that nations of adult years must cease to care about "sympathy." and, only to regard actions, and that the only point cf dispute should be the injuries indicted on us by English neglect or bad faith, and the amount of damages therefor. On this question, the Radical Party of England would lie a unit in proposing arbitration, and we presume all our sensible Americans will be ready to acce.pt it. MISCELLANEOUS. The sanitary report of the Board of Health show tbe unwholesome contrition of the City in general a thing easy enough to see and understand, but hard enough to remedy.

All the evils o( the dark and crowded tenements in the several wards are aggravated by the sewerage, which, in fact, is no seweiage at all, since it has for the most part, little or no fall to the rivers.

The progress of religious toleration in Ppaln is not more striking than in Sweden, which is as strong tn its Lutheranism as Spain is In its Catholicism, and which has heretofore been as intolerant on one side as Bpsia has been on the other. But the spirit of the times has penetrated Sweden.

At the session of the Diet just closed, a measure has been adopted, after great debate, and has received the King's sanction, which will place Sweden on a level with Spain In regard to rellglsus freedom. The changes effected relate to civil marriages, liberty to every, one to change his form ot and the opening of places of worship for the celebration of services other than those of the Orthodox Lutheran Church. We hope our friends will not further urge npon us "the impropriety of alluding to druggists' mistakes, the existence ot epidemics, or in prejudicing or prejudging civil and criminal cases which are already in or to be In the Courts." If the matter were one involving only the Interests of the druggists making the mistake and ourselves, the omission of such accounts would be very agreeable but there is a third party, the public, who will not consent to the compromise. TJnfortu natcly, as our Courts are conducted nowadays, there Is a great and crying necessity that the public papers should give publicity to their every proceeding. "Star Chamber" legislation and nstioe are rapidly becoming dangerous and common processes in this country abuse which sadly need to be corrected.

The great American ornithologist, Wrutox, whose name, though not so wen known as that of Audcbok, Is equally worthy of renown, is to have a monument erected in his honor in Pais ley, Scotland, of which country he was a native. The statue, which la to be executed in bronse. and which, after having been modeled in clay, Is now being east In stucco, is a colossal figure of Wilson, representing him in an American forest. looking earnestly at a Jay, bis favorite bird. which he is supposed Just to have while his portfolio liea at his feet.

Among the statues In our Central Park, we should like to see Audubon and Wilson commemorated. The cause of the Cuban patriots is looking up nowadays. They are no longer in the for lorn condition of rapparees and rebels, but havs got a position. Peru and Chili have given them a position, by recognizing them as belliger ent," thus throwing a strong gleam of sunshine npon the efforts of Ckspbdes. The Government of Chill and Peru have furthermore ordered their Minister at Washington to mediate with our Cabinet in favor ox the Cubans.

The well-known and wandering monitors belonging to Peru are very likely doubling the Horn Just now; otherwise the exasperated Spaniard might make a dash for them by way of reprisal. The opening of the Isthmus of Sues is likely to be a very pompons affair: Invitations to witness It have been sent, it Is said, to a num ber of the crowned heads. The Prince of Wales will be there, and prubablv the EasDeror or i Pess of France. The English desirs to have a Influence In Egypt, and when the Viceroy visit England shortly, he is to hare Buckingham Palace for a lodging daring his stay. Back Is the report.

Little strips of ribbon were coaapieaoas-; ly worn by the cadets ou their Jackets, denoting which crew they supported. lAdie also showed their preference by wearing the crews colors.

That of the; first class was orange, the second class had magenta, and the third class blue. The race was coutestedjra the west side of the river, the course being front tbe Old South Dock to a point a mile and a halt down the river, and return.
