A SPECIAL EDITION of the " EXPRESS," containing tie results af the day's Races, is pub lished every manias daring the Sporting Season, et six *Week. Tun cots isioate English cruisers with American mershantt cies is a disagreeable affair. It is, how ever, necessary to bear in mind that we have as yet 'beard may one side of the story. President BUIDISSI4AW Of his mouthpiece, Mr. Cain), after hearing that one side only, jumps at the coaelesion that the esseplainants have stated the simple truth, sad the whole truth. We beg lean to wait WI we bear the British officer's version of the affair. If it is always wrong to decide en Ilse-sided testimony, it is eminently wrong to do so ea ench questions as the differences of maritime nativism about transactions at sea : and of all transl ations, those which relate to the Slave Trade and the Right of Search most need a calm and careful ' investigation. A part of the New York public, always sensitive on this class of questions, has been wrought up idto extreme wrath by the statements of some merchant captains, and of use in particular, who relates an adventure with a British steamer which will hardly be altogether believed by sensible people on either side of the water till it is confirmed by the Englisheommander. Speaking fres goon geed may ,ears' knowledge of what the ognanadereel Angol an coasters are like, in ocavenation and nenessi,gre must say that the captain of the Main ogloorgr le unlike all his cles•—anlike all eciesmeedins et ant lag schooner' everywhere, if his words and sets were peseisely what he represents under sash provocation as he believed himself to be under. The imegisative element is very apparent in his narrative ef no whole business, or, at least, in that which the New York papers pat into his mouth ; and in one particular we are confident that his senses have deceived him. He says the British lieutenant (unnamed) who examined his papers declared, " We have orders from our gee• verument to board every vessel we fall in with "in passing up and down the Gulf." If this had been tear, Lord N trine must have bean aware of it ; and he and the American Minister would net have agreed to wait for an ascertainment of the facts of the whole group of caws while such a ground of dissoseism was ready to be entered upon at once. They and we nest hear what the British lieut.- liant's version is, and how the various impugned commanders account for their recent proceedings. Meantime, we observe some statements in American journals which bear on the ease, not very remotely, and which will also have to be explained if the Americans desire to establish a ems of insonoce far themselves. An American resident on the African coast' writes home that since April, lir, the Eng lish cruisers have captured twenty-two slavers, 9 , w hi c h a ll but sae were American—d" greater nun b„ belonging to New York, Boston, and New Orleans. Again . a Louisiana newspaper, the Baton Rouge Advocate, relates that the Go vernor of the State, Governor Wraturen, has received a letter from New York, sr ing a supply of native Africans on the most advantageous terms, if the State of Louisiana shield adopt the new Frisch policy, which the Legislature was , the. *Goodwin, but has ponesed. The applicant fur the nosey, • eitiaeo of New York, prams• to knew " all about' the Slave ?reds, and is ready to condaet the contractors to the most ?avow able points of the coast for obtaining " apprentices," without molestation from any quarter; and he , boasts of " • had of experience and koowledge" this business w►isk would be highly valuable to the State of Locki•s& Bach incidents prepare us for andiog that there are two sides to this controversy, se to every other. Oa. point of extreme importance most be urged upon Lord Mince, if he ball not mtistied our 00- vernment upon it already. It is surprising that Lord BILOCORAN had not obtained an explanation from Lord CLARENDON before lest Batarday's meet. iog of the Britiali sad Foreign Anti-Slavery &Mot, at Free comens'- haU,wher• the aged eon teener in the same spoke from the chair with ehaniotesietievigoar. The roe thing more which we should have been glad to hear from him is what Lord C1.111231D0N has to say to the declaration of Mr. Maroa, publiely recited is the Senate at Waehingtoa, that Coast WOIBO,IOEI told Mr. Mevoa, the American Minister at Perin, that England has no objection to make to the sew Fres& method of applying native African laboaren to the French colonies, while the wants of Oho British colonies are being supplied by the Coolie trade. How a statement so untrue can have attained te being laid before the American Senate is knees savable; and such a atirstater— m as t sa t b, " "'" e -- """L'; Mr. CASs, who renders himself respsasible for it, Mr. MATOII, and Count Wetzwaxi, met make out MOM/ them how such a mistake arose I and if they can strew that oar late Foreign Minister (it was before the change of Ministry) earthed any jestifioation for each a notion, it is highly neosmary that ear Parliament and people should know it. We do not believe, however, that Lord CLAZINDOS said or did anything to warrant each a version of oar opinion on the " disguised Slave Trade" by whisk the/Mesh Govern ment has deeply and impishly "sanded the hype and confidence of the British nation, and he will be the beet friend of Lord CLAMDOW who gives him an opportunity of explaining the matter in Portia meet It was about the 28th of April that the earreepeadeate was published at Washington, is which is sontahred Me. Xrreon's Wier Meth% him interview with Coeut Walawasi. The tiding law lIMINise TEE EXPRESS, FRIDAY fast ; and the pre slavery public .througho= States exulted in th e prospect*/ giving up their " fanaticiron"rabout the 840 Trade in all its keno. This 47 motet 'anecdofe aleald indicate tons the probability that mistakes of equal consequence may be involved in the American so- I counts of the transactions in the Gulf. We have ourselves no bias in the case; for the policy of blockading Cuba is none of ours—any mate than that of importing Coolies into our colonies. While protesting, with Lord lirtoucinaM, against likening the engagement of Coolies to the entrapping of negroes, oa the French plan, weave, with him in disapprobation and dislike of the method of supplying from abroad labour which may be had on the spot. In the same way, while fully expect. ing enplaned:ma which will put a new fees on the proceedings of ear cruisers in the Calf, we think, as we have always thought, that this marine-guard policy in regard to the Slave Trade is clumsy, dim genus, and mischievous, as it is certainly expensive in life and money. We hare always said—what events are now only M plainly showing—that while there is slavery Ihrwe will be a slave market; and while then I. a ekes market there will be • slave trade. Looking book and forward from this position, there is some. &bag abundantly mournful in what we see. Colonial bed in plenty at 'the disposal of ourselves, Franey, Spain, and Holland, for the production of sugar, cotton, and everything we want ; labour in plenty mai the spot, if duly encouraged and eoononsised ; capital afloat at home, and invested in the colonies, enough to generate the wealth of future centuries ; mecha nical improvement accumulating so fast as to super sede, if properly applied, the labour of whole tribes of barbaric negroes and barely tolerated Coolies ; and in Africa itself, as in India, whole realms of indus trial production only needing an opening to pour their wealth of raw material into our manufacturing districts. These are the conditions confided to the European nations for use and enjoyment. How have those nations used and enjoyed them ? The answer lies in what we see. On the spot, the indigenous supply of labour neglected, insulted, and driven away : in the far Haat, a Coolie trade so infamous in American hands that the United States Commis sioner has issued orders of the moat stringent kind to check the abuses perpetrated by his countrymen : in the West these sea-squabbler, and a perpetual warfare of fraud and force, all round the coasts of Cuba o in Africa, a cruel breaking up of a promising industry and commerce, and the renewal of barbaric wan and hellish kidnappings : at home, complaints of proprietors and capitalists ; and in the colonies, un willingness to apply engineering resources and mechanical improvements : in the cabinets of em pires, bickering and remonstrance and evasion : and throughout the entire circle all going out of their way, and doing some mischief, for want of using the direct means to an honest end' Such is the spec tacle which may be, as HORACE WALPOLE says life itself is, "a comedy to those who think, o' and • tragedy to those who feel." We gain ermifort, however, from Lord BROUGRAII, sad has ether quarters, whence we learn that prsdastiss la madly and regularly advancing in oar Isiah. generally ; that labour is more and more ecassoised by mechanical appliances ; and that the saffleissicy of indigenous labour is becoming more apparent every year. The returns of produce show that this cheerful view is the true oar. If we had made the beet use of our conditions from the day when slavery was abolished, our success and prosperity might have done more towards extinguishing every sort of Slave Trade than all treaties and cruisers. Such a course ia still our first duty. THE Bill for facilitating the Sale and Transfer of Land in Ireland, the consideration of which comes before the House of Commons this evening, may shortly be described as a measure for vesting in • permanent Court those powers of sale over Unencum bleed Estates, which have for some years been so beneficially exercised by a temporary Court with regard to Encumbered Estates. Occasion has already been taken to express a general approval of the principles embodied in the Bill: our present object is shortly to draw attention to • defect of detail which is not without importance. The Bill cootemplates the creation of a permanent " Landed " Foam Court," which is authorised to invest in stork the moneys paid into the bank under the pro- TWOS/ of the now law. That the sums thus to be arrested will be of very great amount, may readily be iseerred from the fact that the emitting Court, dealing only with Encumbered Estates, btu, in the coarse of 6 1 / 1 4 years, imihorised the investment of mars than 6400,0001. The investments represented lby this vest sum have been exclusively carried out by three stockbrokers—one nominated by etch of the Commissioners. No express authority so to appoint brokers was given by the Encumbered I Estates Act, bat as that Act contained 'no direct prohibition of such patronage, nor any clause inconsistent with its exercise, Ithe power of appointment was put in practice by the Commissioners, and, though felt to be a grievance, has hitherto passed unchallenged by the Dublin stockbrokers. The introduction of the new Bill, which, if it panels into law, may reasonably be ex posited to ameemo very considerably the amount of investments seder the authority of the Estates Court, has set these gentlemen on the alert. From their Petition it appears that they are 37 in number, all standing, in retest to license, security, and every other legal qualification, on a footing of perfect equality. They object, and very reasonably ob. jest, to the contingent* of the 'monopoly which has beta hitherto maintained in hew of the selected brokers. They enee that the public would be better served tf so seek 'monopoly existed and the parties were loft free to select their own broker. Stock weld then be purchased without disclosing on the Stook Exabeage that the purchase was under an 'Wee of the Comet, and it is obvious that in the open market, without seek disclosure, more favourable terms, as a general rule, could be obtained. The prayer of their Petition therefore is, that a clause be inserted in the Bill enabling the solicitor of the parties to select any broker he pleases for the pur pose of making investments ender order of the Court. The object thus sought is so reasonable, so obviously founded on correct principles, and so clearly conducive to public in t, that it ia to be hoped the House of Commons will not refuse to give it effect. The day has gone by for sustaining a monopoly based on favouritism. MOI'MT ST.

It has been doubted whether the-Paris Conference, which was adjourned till Saturday next, would even meet so soon ; but I understand that letters of con vocation for that day bare been sent to the pleni potentiaries. Without npposMg the secrecy of the deliberations to have been betrayed by any of the ambassadors, it is permissible to believe in the common report that differences of opinion among the members of the Conference, and the necessity of referring to their governments for fresh instructions, led to the long adjournment. Upon what subject can this difference have turned P It is not easy to think that the question of the Danubian Principali ties can have given rise to mach discussion, because all the elements for the decision of the question have been in the possession of the government/interested for months peat, and it was generally understool, though sanguine Moldavian have expressed an opinion to the contrary, that the conclusion was foregone. On the other hand, it is to be remembered that the Moniteur, when announcing the opening of the Carference, said that its members would assemble to debate the question of the Principalities. Did that refer to the proceedings of the opening day only or was it meant that no other subject would be brought before them during the entire session ? The latter supposition is scarcely admissible when we find it asserted from Vienna and Constantinople that Turkey refuses to submit the solution of the Montenegro difficulty to the Paris Conference. It L therefore probable that the powers do claim or have claimed a jurisdiction for the Conference in the *Heir of Montenegro, and that the further instructions sent for by the pleni potentiaries have reference to this question. M. de Pane continues to improve slightly. lam informed that the Minister at War has sent a cir cular for the information of the officers of the army, in which he expresses an opinion that the duel with M. Ilyasse was perfectly fair. The opinion of the Minister of War can hardly, however, I should think be construed as au approbation of the principle of several officers in succession calling out a civilian. Another banquet was given yesterday to Lieutenants Hyena and RogE, by the officers sta timed at St. Germain. I am, however, happy to be able to state that twenty officers absented themselves from the festival, and dined at a café by themselves. They stated to their comrades that in their opinion the demonstration was indecent, pending a judicial inquiry. Their conduct was the more courageous and praiseworthy, because the colonel in command took champagne and dessert at the other mese. _ The mystery of mysteries of diplomacy is what can have been the true reason why Mr. Howard, the British Ambassador to Florence, quitted his post twenty-four hoars after his arrival there. I have not heard a suggestion of any political cause for his sudden retreat. All that is known in official quarters here is that after having written an official letter to ask for an audience of the Grand Duke to present his credentials he sent a second letter, stating that he withdrew his former one, that he was not well, and that he must start for Paris im mediately. M. de Leaseps arrived in Paris last night, on his return from his uneuooesettil mission to Constanti nople about the Isthmus of Suez. He starts for London to-morrow. The Bourn was somewhat better to-day. The Rente rose da for amount, closing at 69fr. 66c. Mobilier fell Ifr. 60c. The Northern railway fell 6fr., but the other lines were from 2fr. 60c. to 6fr. higher, and were in fair demand at the close. The origin of the Woe report of an attempt upon the Emperor's life at Fontainebleau is now known. Lord Henry Seymour being in treaty for the pur chase of a carriage, had ordered his servants to test the solidity of the springs. They loaded the ear -1 rugs with several pieces of east iron, and drove it outside the Barrier de la Villette,which is on the road to Fontainebleau, in order to look out for some rough ground over which the carriage might get a good jolting. On passing the barrier the coachman said to the octroi officers, " Yon will please to ob serve that we have got some east-iron bars, and you will not make as pay on them when we cane back." The officers said it would be all right, and the car riage went 00. Bat presently, as the officers talked amongst themselves at the station, it struck some of them as auspicious that a carriage bearing hollow metallic tubes should have been driving at a rapid rate on the road to Fontainebleau. Visions of Orsini bombs arose before the eyes of the most imaginative; a force of gendarmes was sent for to the barrier, and when the carriage came back the servants were arrested and the cast-iron ballast seized for inspec tion. How soon the error was disoovered I do not know, but in the meanwhile the rumour spread all over Paris that a new plot had been discovered. A duel was fought yesterday between M. Odin, the son of the banker and a brother of Madame Cavaignao, and a faabionable man about Paris, named Sicot. The quarrel arose at the Cafe Foy, where the parties were dining together with some friends. In the course of • discussion upon a 'object of no important*, M. °die, expressed a diSsentoe of opinion with M. Shoot, in terms which the latter thought offensive. A challenge ensued. The dug was fought with swords. M. Biotic speedily received a wound in the arm, but it was not severe enough to prevent him from continuing the combat, and he subsequently woanded his adversary in the body in three places. M. Odier lo confined to his bed, but his state is not thought to be dangerocui.

This was an action for libel against the Doily Telegreja. The alleged libel consisted of • series 'of reports; publisMd from time to time, of certain promethium before Mr. Alder man Rose, at Guildhall, on a claret made meanie th e plain tiff for perjure, which, after several hearioge, was eventually dismissed. The defendant pleaded Brat not guilty, and secondly, that the report. in question were tees and faith ful accounts of the proceedings before the magistrate, and that he hod pulfshati them boot fide and without malice at the trial which took place before Lord Canitibeil, a. Westminster. The jury found a verdict for the defendant upon both hems. Subsequently a rale was obtained to enter a verdict for the plaintiff notwithstanding the finding of the jury. The reel question raised for the decision of the court we. whether the bent fide publication of the tine and faithful account of aa investigation before a magistrate on a criminal charge wee privileged. Lord Campbell now delivered a very elaborate judgment cm the case. After explaitung the pleadings, and to various authorities, his lordship said the plaintir= contended that the privilege of reporting legal proceedings wee confined to the superior courts of law and equity, but no such question as to the dignity of the court could be re garded, and they must look to the nature of the judicial proceedings reported, end for that purpose no distinction could be made between a pie poudre court and the Rums of Lords sitting as a court of justice. If the magis trates, under the pretence of giving advice, heard publicly slanderous oomplainta3 over which they had go jurisdiction, though their names were on the commission of the peace, a report of what passed before them was as little privi lege d se If it had been the report of what fell from sane illiterate mechanics assembled in an alehouse. It was contaaded that the reports of proceedings Wort magistrate. were not privileged, but the court by no means mended to that general proposition.

LIVERPOOL, TKVZSDAY. The screw steam-ship Anglo-Saxon, Captain Borland, belonging to the Montreal Oce an Steam ship Company, arrived here this afternoon, bringing Quebec dates of the 22nd ult., and 117 cabin and 136 steerage passengers. The news from the United States has been anti cipated by the Vanderbilt. The estimates of the Inspector-General of Canada for the year 1868 had been published. The total expenditure is placed at 6,281,411 dots. ' , and the total revenue at 6,388,400 dots. Resolutions were pending in the Canadian parlia meet on the seat of government question ; the first thanks her Majesty for choosing a seat of govern ment, and regrets that thechoioe is not in aooordanoe with the views of the majority of the inhabitants of Canada the isoond requests her Majesty to recon sider her choice and make Montreal the capital of the province. The supporters of these resolutions were in opposition to the government The House of Assembly, by a vote of 41 to 38, had decided to hear at the bar Mr. Gournay, who was unjustly banished from the country in 1817, but sub sequently pardoned and offered a pension. He re fuses to accept the pension, and claims that the sentence should be declared null and void. The Ottawa Citizen understands that the works on a large portion if not the whole of the line of the Brockville and Ottawa Railway have again been stopped, owing to some financial difficulty or mis understanding. The timber trade at Quebec had opened with an active inquiry. Red and white pine were in very good demand, and prices were firm. Oak in request at 20d. to 2ld. measured off. Elm inquired for in small parcels. Staves dull and tending down ward. Deal, in fair demand, at 121. 10s. to 121.165. for first sorts. Freights much depressed ; 2.55. asked for Liver poi without finding shippers. Deals taken for London at 7tis. to 80s. Vessels to load grain at Montreal wire wanted at Ts. per qr. for wheat.

He will be received with • grand salute of bells, sot only_os his arrival, but in all the village. be pawn through. He sups that evening at the Dominicans, with a vast comma of priests, paying, by ancient usages, one sequin for his supper. Early next morn ing he rides an • white mare to his cathedral, and up to the altar. The mare is to be Ida with silver, and mat ply oateriened. Two young noblemen are to act a. leading the mare, while four others are to have the hot grooms, bolding a canopy over the heed of the archbishop.
