Death of Robert Btephenaon, the Eminent Knglneeri the London l'linee, Oct. The death of Stephenson comes with startling rapidity upon tliat of Brunei.

Both men of rare genius, and both occupying a sort of double throne at the hand of tnelr pro feasion, they have gono to their rest together, and their rivalry has ceased Distinguished sons of distinguished fathers, the two men who tu these latter years have done xpost to perfect the art of travci, and in this way to cultivate social intercourse, multiply wealth and advance Civilization, have boon struck down at one Teh swoop in all the maturity of their power Mr Hteph-naon's health had been delicate for about two years, and he complained of failing strength Just before his lust journey to Norway. In Norway lie became very unwell; his liver was so much uikctcd thai he hurried home, and when he arrived at Inwestoft he was so weak that he Ltd to be carried from his yacht to the railway, and thence to his residence in Gloucester square, where his malady grew so rapidly as to leave from the Urst but faint hopes of bis recovery. He had not strength enough to resist the disease, and he gradually sunk until at length he expired yesterday morning If his loss will be felt severely in his profession, it will be stHI more poignantly felt in ins large circle of friends and acquaintances, for he was as good as be was great, and the man was even more to be admired than the engineer. His benevolence was unbounded, and every year he expended thousands in doing good unseen His chief care in this way was for tho children of old friends ho had been kind to him in early life, sending them to the best schools and providing for them with characteristic generosity. His own pupils regarded him with a sort of worship, and tho number of men belonging to the Stephen ou school who have taken very high rank In their peculiar walk shows how successful he was in his system of training, and how strong was the force of his example.

The feeling of his friends and associates was not less warm. A man of the soundest judgment and the strictest probity, with noble heart and most genial won tnecoufldi nee of all who knew him, and perhaps in all Loudon there were not more plea sant social than those which were to be found in his house in Gloucester square, himself being the lifeof the party. Without a of professional jealousy in own nature, he was liked by ail his follow engineers, if they did not know him sufficiently to bear him alloction. and we do not believe that even those who Iwd the most reason to wish him out of the way, such as the promoters of the Suez Canal, which he strenuously opposed, ever bore him any ill will. He boa passed uwav, if not very full of are, yet very fid I of creator of public works, a beuofactor of his race, the idol of his friends.

The Wlnr Crop of France, (Oct. 3) correspondence of the London i have Deen favored with the sight of a commercial letter from the south of Frauce, which gives the following account of the vintage Nearly three-quarters of the wine crop is now got in, and although the greater part of the new wine is yet iu the must, we are in position to form a tolerably accural-estimated the new vintage, both us to quantity -nud quality. In the early spring great hopes were entertained" of an extraordinary year. The quantity of fruit was nt least as great iu 1S5S. But the white frosts in the spring, old turn in somo places, and, more than all, a few intensely hot days days in July which dried up a very considerable quantity of grapes, reduced the crop to less than hall an average one.

On the other hand, the quality of the new wines is far superiorto auything we have seen of late years, and with that of 1347 The red wines will have much body, strength and color. The white wines also promise well, but they arc more backward than the others, and therefore wears not able to speak with equal confidence about them. The wines of 1S6H (the current year) were no eagerly bought up that the prices have been for some past. The crops of many, vineyards were purchased on the ground by anticipation. At the present momont the new wines are selling for thre-'- or lour times the price which thqy fetched in October last year, and wo doubt whether movement has vet seen its highest, for, in consequence ortlie excelleut quality of the wines, scarcely ary are sold for distilling.

Opening of the Opera In Paris. (Oct. 2) Correspondence of The Italian Opera opened for the Season last night with Verdi's Traviata." l'enco was the Violelta; Ciardonl, Alfredo; and Orazinni, Gcrmond: the remaining characters were respectably filled by the ordinary working artitlts of the company. Madame l'enco was greeted most warmly on her appearance before a crowded audience, and Gardoui was received with encouraging salutations. Graziani.

whom we may now call an old fa Torite," was also heartliy congratulated on his appearance. Madame FVnco's read'ng of fa Trariat.i" was precisely a repitition of her last year's performance. She contrives to make it as little painful as possible. She sang throughout as an accomplished artist who knows her rule thoroughly, and with a confidence which a fine and never fading voice ensures. Gardoni was called upon to fill a part made familiar to the Parisian? by Mario.

Such an accident, I need scarcely remark, was somewhat discouraging, lor Mario is not only a great but there is a charm iu the quality of his voice which enables him give a color and nmewr I to the music he sings which rornuin in the mind and ear of the audience, and is sure to be the more vividly remembered when the same music is sung by another tenor. 1 Gardoni last night scarcely did justice to himself. He seeme I to be conscious of the d.lllctilties Is- had to contend with, anl In addition he was not familiar with his audience. Nevertheless, Ms ggod taste and careful style I were perceptible throughout, and he certainly merited the applause he received. Graziani was perfectly at home, and his fine voico seemed to animate the audience to tl tin warmly expressed satisfaction of the evening M.

Calzado, the manager, has this year issued a very generous programme. He has availed himself of all the known talent he could command, and permitted one or two unknown singers to try their fortune, among whom is a tenor, assumed by the way. Madame Borglii Mamo returns this year to the Italian Opera, as well as Alhoni. Mario has deserted us, thejr say, for ever; but at the end of the season Tatnherllk condescends to sing to us for a few nights, for -which he is to be paid 40.090 francs. Badtali and Zucbini (batri) are to the comic business, so that with less-r stars we get a very fair company.

Giuglini was to have favored us, but there was difficulty about the "terms." which has greatly disappointed the patrons of Italian Opera in Paris. One might have expected, perhaps, some new prime domae and Imuri from Italy, as that nursery of singing birds is now nlmnst broken up on account of political troubles. In Italy, the drama outside the theatre walls luia usurjiod Apollo's throne. It is remarkable that the market is not bettor supplied when one considers the large sums paid to singers. M.

Calzado's company, as far as I cau calculate, is costing liim this year something like the way, one may compliment him on the improvement of the chorus this season. Our old friend Bonetti is again in the orchestra, which, during the last two years, he ha? so able conducted. How we lire to get all the op ms promised in th" programme I am unable to conceive.

He was much worse last evening and supposed to be dying, and the physician was summoned tn great haste. In the morning lie was more comfortable, but rapidly failing. The feeling that the attack upon Harper's Ferry was Uie flrst of a widespread conspiracy is gaining ground here. Circumstances have transpired tending to show that this morcmeut was by no means attacks were expected to have been made simultaneously at numerous other points. There is even a suspicion, how well founded it is impossible to tell, that the recent outrages at Brownsville, Texas, were instigated at least by the abolitionists.

The Merriam referred to in the morapda is supposed to be a who stopped at the Wager House on Saturday last, bringing a heavy tiunk, which was taken olf in a wagon by one of Brown's sons and a negro man. Before leaving the hotel he registered his name F. G.

Merriam, Massachusetts," and took dinner. He then procured per and wrote a large number of letters, taking peculiar puins to prevent any one from seeing what he had written. It is supposed that bo took some part in the doings of fe'tindSV night, and escaped in company With Cook and his party. His taeo was very peculiarly marked with blotches, and a man answering his descrip lion exactly is known to have registered the name of Henry" at Chambersburg. It is conjectured that this man had charge of the procuring of the supplies of arms, 1 ammunition, Ac for the "provisional artny." Lati evening Mr.

Wm. McDanicI, who resides about three quarters of a mile above the village, on the bank 01 the Potomac, picked up by the side of a fence in tho ra vine a woman's dress, hoop bonnet and shawl, I which he found rolled in a bundle. The dress had evi dently been torn off in great haste, and there was a large of blood on the skirt. It is supposed to have been used as a disguise by the insurgents or ol' thuir spies. A very tall woman had noticed in tho early evening passing through tho upper part of the villago, and walking rapidly.

The examination trial, previous to indictment, of Brown and bis fellow prisoners will commence on Tuesday, and if a separate triul be granted to each, as will probably bo the cose if applied for. the indictment will not be ended before tho close of the week. It is stnfed that the prisoners are assured of having every possible legul advantage, und the host counsel In the commonwealth assigned for defence in case they do not obtain counsel from the North. Old Biown lies written letters to several eminent legal gentlemen at 1 he North, among others to Gov. Chase, of Ohio.

Kacli of the prisoners will probably be tried separately, aud on the trial of the negroes the testimony of negro witnesses will be received. Gov. Wise says these men must have a luir trial, for the sake of the honor of Old Virginia. If counsel come from the North to defend the prisoners they will treated with courtesy and respect, unless they attempt to ring in views on the subject of slavery such us are never toloratrd in this latitude. Tho empaunelling ot a jury for the Una! trial wiil probably occupy a week, so that the Until trial will not fairly be begun hi tliun a fortnight.

A large bundle of letters, addressed lo Charles 1'. Tldd, one of the dead filUbustcrs, was found In a trunk at the house of Captain Cook's mother-in-law. Among them wore several from his mother, who, it appears, lives witu a second husband at or ar Springduie, Iowa, breathing the most tender and affectionate spirit, and praying to bless and protect her "dear child, Charles," through the dangers which ho was about to pass, and bogging him if ho csrai.nl unharmed to return at unci to his home. All the letters are written in the Quaker style of "tbecing and thouing," and ore pervaded with a deeply religious torn-.

The Harper's Furry people ure iudiguant at tho languago employed by Governor Wise in censuring them for allowing tho.armory to bo taken, and think the papers havo not given them proper credit for their efforts to repel tho invaders.

Tho citizens, they say, did all that was donedrove Brown's party into tho engine house, and kept them there, and not a filibuster was killed, wounded or captured by the uniformed militia, to whom all tho credit bos been given by the newspapers. They talk of holding a meeting to vindicate the honor of the town. A NEGRESS AliHESTED AND EXAMINED. Betsey l'i uts, negroes, who lived at Bolivar, a mile above the Fi rry, was arrested and examined to-day be. fore Justice Turk, on suspicion of having had coinuiuuication with the conspirators.

It seems she weal to sec her mother, somewhere in XJillsboro'county, betbre tho outbreak, and staid Inst night in Loudon county, where she told a white woman that she had seen (lie negro Spears several times at Cook's house, was well acquainted with Cook, who owned a rifie that would fire twentv had heard him say that if he could gel his wife aud child to New York, he would turn Harper's Ferry upside down. She acknowledged at tho examination having told the woman these thiugs, but said tliey were all lies. She was let oil easy. Habpjcr's Fkkbt, Oct. 23, 1859.

The people of this village were thrown iuto considerable excitement this pleasant Sabbath morning, by the arrival of two horsemen from Maryland, who were escorted across the bridge by Capt. Isaac Boteler, a planter residing on the Maryland side, ubout eight or nine miles from here. They proved to be Capt. Charles Campbell uad Lieut. M.

W. Hanser, of Chambersburg, who arrived with intelligence of the capture of a man, supposed to be Capt. Cook, nt Carlisle, Fa. They had pursued the man from the house occupied by Cook's wife, at Chambersburg, wliorc he left a blanket and a revolving hard pressed. The blanket was marked und the man said his name was A.

Campbell and Hanser followed the fugitive from Cliutiibersburg all the way up the Cumberland valley, and finally overtook him in Carlisle. Some railroad men first went up to arrest him, but be thrcatcued tbein with a revolver, and they left; when Mr. Hanser catne up behind, clapped him on the hack, utid said, "Is your name Cookl'" "No," was the reply. "You are my prisoner," said Hanser. The man instantly thrust bis hand into his pocket, as if to draw a pistol, but at tills Instant Captain Campbell came up and seized him by tho arms.

The man answers to the description oi Captain Cook very closely, but the wife of Cook says she does not know him. Tho Chambersburg men represent the feeling in Chambersburg, and all that region as being one of ontiio aud almost unanimous reprobation of the conduct of these insurgents. Men were out in all directions searching for Cook. They say that a number of people, both while and black, in ana around Chambersburg. are clearly implicated in the movement, and aro urgent lo have the general government order their arrest Nome of the abolitionists who had not been let into the scsret ot this outrage arc now among the loudest beard in denunciation.

The Chambersburg men, in company with Mr. Price, the mail agent, immediately proceeded to Cburlcstown by private conveyance, and bad an Interview with the pri. sisters there confined. Old Brown refused to hold any communication ith them, but asked Mr. Price to call on the poyuiaster of the armory on his return, and ask him to send the $400 in his hands belonging to him (Brown), staling that lie wonted to send money to his wife, and to procure comforts, for himself and men In prison.

Stephens, who was not expected to live yesterday, was much easier, but not able to converse. The others wore somewhat more communicative. They said ilazlitt was certainly killed in the fight hero thrown oil' the Potomac bridge, as lies once been reported, and that Hazlitt was four iucbcs taller than Cook. Coppce says he had a brother in tho fight, an older man than himself, but what became of hiiu he did not know. The men readily recognized the two negroes, who had frequently been seen at Chambersburg, but Copjiee was a stranger to them.

A communication will be sent from here by tho 1:20 A. M. train tomorrow morning, to Governor Wise, for a requisition on the Covernor of Pennsylvania to bring the prisoner to Charlcstown. He is now confined in Carlisle An urgent request en me from the Maryland side this afternoon, asking for arms for a patrol about to be raised there. Companies have been organized to-duy at this place, Bolivar, and Camp HilL Special despatches have been sent to Washington as well as to Governor Wise.

There are abundance of armed men here, and no reason to fear ns to the result of any demonstration from tho friends of the miscreants, should one be attempted. It is reported that there has been a large gathering of abolitionists in and around Cliambersburg, and that Fred, i onglass. the black abolttitiouist, has been among them. Among the papers in Stephen's portemounaic, given by him In Ihc landlord of the Wager House, was the follow tt is supposed win intended to serve as a sort of voucher lor iiia soundness on the "gooso question" In cuse of his arrest in a slave A copy of the neolutiun adopted by the citizens of Tabor, Feb. 7, That Ude we sympathise with the oppressed and will do all that we conscleaUoiisly can to help them In their ellnrts few ftcedom.

This Christine Fouke? deserves great credit lor the coolness and courage she displayed throughout the affair. She brought in the body of lir.

lb A. Wise returned from Harper's Ferry yesterday in lhi- en o'clock train from Acjuia creek, and was received at the depot on street by Company Cayt. and a large concourse or citlaong. He was conducted to a can luge, and thus escorted to the Governor's mansion, Company aeilug as an escort. Tho multitude followed the cortege until it approached the City Hall, when a general rush was made towards tho Governor's grounds.

The oriico of tho house and the enclosure in front were soon filled with citizens eager to hear a speech from his Excellency. Presently tho Governor and his escort entered, and room being made for them, tho Governor alighted from the carriage, entered his dwelling, and exchanged brief greetings with members of his family. He then came forward, and was received with arms presented by Company the armory bund playing tho "Star Spangled Banner." At tho conclusion of tbeso ceremonies tho Governor proceeded to address the military and the crowd of civilians. He spokn forty-Ave minutes, and was several times Interrupted with loud applause and cheering. Wo annex a report of his remarks, which is unavoidably condensed and imperfect.

Cai-r. Cary, Comimny sni. .1 xow you and I never had a fellow feeling before, we have it now. Rumors of an insurrection, of an invasion, of robberies and murders by ruffians on our borders, eallod for tho protection of the Plato and her people. You, fellow citizens and citizen so idle is, were ready to start on the path of duty ut my moment.

I thank your commander thank you from my heart. I thank you not only for being ready start, but It is duo to you that I should toy that 1 km you were ready to do your duty. I la pt my eye upon tho men, and though they inet rumor upon rumor, telegraph upon legrapli, that there was still lighting at. Harper' Ferry, they went through with buoyant hearts. (Applause.) No man blanched, untiL the newscarm that, the victory jras won without the aid of tlu-ir right onus.

When we got there we found the dead and the wounded. When you loft you bore the character of gentlemen: when youarriveil at Harpor's Ferry thi you bore not only the' character of gentlemen, but. character of soldiers. Though yon ere not called upon to pull a trigger, you preserved order, composure, drill and ii sc.pline, in tho midst of tho highest excitement I lioveever v'lUiesscd. Ret me also thank tho corps who leit thin city the next morning, and their commander, COlot.cl August.

All, all were on tho way as prompt as preparation could bo made, and stoaro carry thocn. We met many on the way, and here let mo pay an encomium to Capt. Marge, ol the'Alexandria rilics, who, with tho accession of his corps enabled tnewb proceed with ninety-one Virginia soldiers to Harper's Kerry. 1 was oompollod, at the Relay House, to order tho return of tho companies which followed inc. There woro enough without them.

Tho volunteers of Jefferson, and of Berkley were there. Tho farmers were thoro with their long guns and rifles. The people were there with arms and without arms. Thoy expected to get arms thorn, but to the of somebody who is white ruflians and live ncgToeshwl taken TborittOpyla- or Ifarpcr'a night, where thousands or muskets' were kept Tliu Governor then briefly recapitulated tho particulars of the surprize and capture of tho place; mentioned the seizure of 1,000 siicars, and relorreil to the disappointment ffl tho Invaders in not finding tho ncgrocF ready and Willing to arm themselves with those They earned od'a low slaves, but one negro cecapod. from, them, and wan drowuud la wa attempt to crt hark to htn muster The the "border rafflan," the "Chief of Kansas," who has been deaounamg llie of Htrrouii us "border ruffians," now prisoner of treason.

He mode a great mistake as to the disposition of the slaves. The abolitionists cannot eeoi prebend that they are held among ut by patriarchal tenure. Afu brief allusion to the outlaw, Cooke, and tbo unguarded condition ol Kerry, the Governor said: Thci ought to be guard kept there, and an the general government lias not provided one, either military or oirL 1, as Governor, proclaim to you that 1 have put a there. I have put CapL Brown's own Shurpc's rifles intw the hnnds of the and I will not stop until 1 Rend an ample supply of Virginia anlists, with Hint, percussion, or some sort of a look, secure the proper defeooe of the place. (Cheers.) Be would have given his right arm if our Virginia boya had been thore to take the millions who surprised the town.

Be was ready to weep when he heard that their consisted of only twelve men, and that they had talua 'own in uti minutes. There was no cowurdico in Uutl pari of the people there, because their unguarded ciuienw Wisy loved Washington, they lovndAI Mead, and they loyedlhe operatives who were Vv told Utem that they had mite a ha! urOiJf rSifxWashington had been a ana (toe Governor) wnnid have risked his own nnd other lives; aa weU, in that allook without delay. (This la the spirit, and net the exuet language, of the Governor's remarks.) Tho Governor then proceeded to apeak of Chill ato Brown, awarding to him credit for bravery fortttude and humanity towards his prisoners. He dwelt, with aa appropriate anti climax, on the fact that Brown had armed himself with a sword which Frederick the Great had sent to General Georgo Washington. The aword bekxumd An Mi.

I would read him a moral lecture, and then send him back home.

The Governor said he remained at Harper's Kerry to prevent anything Mke "lynch law" in Virginia. There was no question of Jurisdiction to be settled, as he had made up his mind fully, und after determining that the prisoners should be tried to would not haveoboyed an order to the contrary from the President of the United Slates. (Laughter and applause.) In conclusion, the Governor urged the importance eg the organization or the military throughout tbo State and the exercise of vigilance to guard against the disgrace of a Similar surprise. He thanked the soldiers and citizens for the compliment they had paid htm, and declared thai he had doue nothing but hla duty in repairing to Harper's Perry. At the close of the Governor's speech, three InsW cheers were given for him by the crowd, and tboy then dispersed.

The Circuit Court of Jeflcrsou county met Richard Parker, Judge; Charles D. Harding, Commonwealth's Attorney; Andrew Hunter, Assistant. The Court adjourned early this morning, such being the that no civil cases were ready for trial. The State of Virginia vs. John Brown, Aaron C.

Stephens and Edwin Coppee (white persons), and Shields Green and John Copland (negroes), committed on charges of conspiracy to make rebellion, insurrection and open war against tho Commonwealth of Virginia, and also for tho murder of F. Beckham, G. W. Turner, Thomas Boerlsy Luke Quinn, marine, and Hey ward Shoppard, negro. Tho following Justices of tho Peace have been summoned by the Sheriff to hold tho examination trial to morrow of the abovo Davenport Presiding Justice, Georgo W.

RicUelberger, John W. McCurdy, Wlliaaa Y. Alexander, John J. Locke, G. F.

Mason aud Thomas H. Willis. The law requires that the decision of the Justices of the examining Court, who may number from Ave to sixteen, must be unanimous. The prisoners will be examined together, and It Is supposed that the examination trial wUl be concludod by two o'clock to-morrow, to which time tho Grand Jury have been adjourned by the Court. The Grand Jury will then take up the case immediately, and the Indictments, which arc already prepared, will probably be presented to the Court on Wednesday morning, when the trial of tho prisoners will commence before the Court and Jury.

Should tlicy be found guilty, and sentence of death pronounced upon them, the Judge, under the laws of this State, fixes the day of execution independent of tho Governor. The usual delay of thirty days after sentence is excepted in coses of insurrection and rebellion, and tho prisoners, if convicted of the same, may be hung lmme diately, cither within or without the jail yard. Judge ordered the three hundred and flvo dollars taken from Brown to be returned to him. The Judge also stated that all their personal property, including Sharp's rllles ami other arms, would belong to tho heirs of the prisoners should they bo capitally convicted. A fellow named James William J.

Stobargh, supposed to be one of tho filibusters, was brought In a prisoner to day and lodged in Jail. He was captured some duys ago by M- E- Price, mail agent on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad cars, at a place called Sir John's Run, and kept in a room till to-day. The fellow Is qalto undersized, of a simple aud foolish appearance, aud had been several weeks loitering about this and the adjoining counties, begging and borrowing monoy. He rogistorod himself here sumo days before tho outbreak as Stoburgk Louisa, lawrence county, Kentucky. On Friday night, the 14tii.be called Mr.

Barbour, Superintendent of the Armory at Harper's Kerry, outof his house, insisting upon a private interview on tho lawn, which was refused. Then ho asked the loan of a dollar, and loft. Since his arrest, be hae said if Barbour had granted an interview be would have revealed the whole plot. Both at Harper's I Ferry and here an excited crowd followed the prisouur, as he passed manacled tb rough tho streets in tho cliargo of officers. His commitment on suspicion of aiding and abetting John Brown (Jo.

was issued by Justice Eichcibergcr. The prisoner Stephens Is considored out of immediate danger from his wounds, and the others are ill good condition. The excitement In town is increasing aa the time fy trial approaches. Tho towu is guarded by a very large nody of military, under tho commund of Col. Davis, which was reinforced to-day by men from Sbcpbcrdstown.

Colonel Davis itrrievd in towu from Richmond aud took command to-day of ail the troops. He is a stall officer of Governor Wise. Senator Mason, Mr. Faulkuer and other prominent Virginians are here. It is understood that, if ordered to do so by the court, Mr.

Robert Y. Conrad will dclc-nd the prisoners, but no one has yet been appointed. Ool. Martin, United States Marshal of tho Western District of Virginia, is also here. It is oxpectcd that the requisition of Gov.

Wise for the prisoner iu Carlisle reach there in time to enablo him to be committed to tiic Jail of this county on Thursday night. OUR HARPER'S FERRY DESPATCH. Hakckk's Kerry, Oct. 24,1859.
