LAW AID POLICE. THE SCALPING CASE AT WOLVERHAMPTON.-At the Stafford Assizes, before Mr. Justice Smith, Thomas Dur ham, 45, labourer, was convicted of feloniously and maliciously wounding Fanny Churn, at Wolverhampton, on the 17th of April last. The prisoner, it will be remem bered, was in altercation with a female, when the prose cutrix came up and advised him to go home, observing that he was the worse for liquor. The prisoner then, without any further provocation, drew a razor, and, taking hold of the prosecutrix by the back hair, drew the razor from one ear right across the forehead and past the other ear, the wound inflicted almost completing the circuit of the poor woman's head, and very nearly de taching the scalp. The prosecutrix appeared in court with her head still enveloped in surgical bandages. The learned judge sentenced the prisoner to twelve months' imprisonment. UNWITOLESOMIC FRIIIT.—At the Southwark Police court, Mr. George Hill, a salesman, in Borough Market, vas charged with selling baskets of fruit unfit for human food. Mr. Partridge said that it was a serious offence, and fined him £2O. He added that if he or any other salesman repeated the offence, he should send them to prison, without the option of paying a fine, as the public health must be protected. STEALING SILK.—At Nottingham, on Wednesday, four nien were indicted for stealing 100 lb. weight of silk of the value of £2:50; and another, named Macdonald, was charged with receiving it. 'The court was crowded, as the case has excited a great deal of interest. Powell, one of the prisoners, pleaded guilty, and gave evidence. He had been employed by Mr. Baker, the prosecutor, 'and left without notice. He gave one of the other prisoners the keys of Mr. Baker's warehouse to obtain counterfeits. Mr. Macdonald, who was charged with receiving the silk, also had a warehouse, and it was stated in the evidence that he had bought the silk from a manufacturer in the usual course. A number of witnesses were called on his behalf.—The case was not concluded. TWENTY YEARS' PENAL SERVITUDE.—At Aylesbury, a man rnamed Charge was indicted for shooting Samuel Beeson. The prosecutor was on his way home when he was shot at, and the evidence was entirely circumstan tial. There had been uo previous communication between him and the accused, but it was proved that the prose cutor had been collecting subscriptions for a club to which they both belonged, and had the money with him. The jury found a verdict of guilty of shooting with intent to murder, and the prisoner was sentenced to twenty years penal servitude. PRINTING LISTS OF VOTERS--At Newcastle, at the assizes, a day or two since, Mr. Brockett, a printer, and the proprietor of the Gateshead Observer, brought an action against the overseers of Gateshead to recover £46, the balance of an account for printing the lists of voters for the Revising Barrister. The lists were charged 12s. a page, and as they were printed under great pres sure, extra workmen being put on, it was contended that this charge was only fair. The Revising Barrister bad allowed is. a page. Verdict for the plaintiff. AN EXTRAORDINARY TRIAL FOR MURDER. At the Worcester Assizes, on Tuesday, before Mr. Baron Pigott, a woman named Fanny Frances Maud Oliver was convicted of the wilful murder of her husband, Joseph Oliver, at Dudley. The prisoner is a milliner, and in the course of her business cleaned bonnets, for which purpose she used poisonous drugs. The death of the husband was attributed to arsenical poisoning, and the motives by which it was presumed the prisoner was actuated were, that she had contracted an improper inti macy with a man named Brice ; and that her husband had money in a building fund, and that she, without his . rnowledge had been drawing it out, and had exhausted the fund. The purchase of arsenic by the prisoner in April last was proved, and also that at the time she gave a false name and address. Dr. Hill, who made a post-mortem examination of the body, discovered arsenic in a small quantity, and came to the conclusion that the deceased had died from arsenical poisoning. After the jury had returned their verdict the prisoner made a most " agonising " speech. " I am not guilty (she exclaimed) by my great God ! If I speak an untruth, Oh, God ! (here the prisoner clasped her hands solemnly, and cast her eyes upwards)—take my breath from me, and let me die before my enemies. (Great sensation in court). As for administering poison to my husband (here she raised her voice and again clasped her hands) great God answer for me ; Thou knowest that I am innocent, Heavenly Father, of the charge they have brought against me. And why dost Thou leave me in this terrible hour of need? My God, I have trusted in Thee. I have been wild and wicked, I know ; bet, Heavenly Father, give me strength. I never possessed such strength as I have possessed since I have been cast into prison. I never knew the power of my Saviour until then ; and, although death is to be passed upon an innocent woman, Lord, receive my spirit ; and although I am found guilty by an earthly judge and jury—(here she raised her voice defiantly)—my Great Judge and Jury who are in Heaven they will receive me to their home. (Sensation). I am innocent in the sight of my God, and I fear not what man can do unto me. What even though you should put me to death to-morrow, I would receive it cheerfully, my God, as it has come from Thee ; for now lam left alone ; my home is gone ; my friends are far ; I have but one, and that is He (point ing upwards). Lord, do not leave me in this terrible hour. Lord, prepare me to meet this trial. Thou knowest lam innocent. Murder ! I loved my husband. God, thou knowest I loved him. Yes, and he loved me. Call his friends ; call those who were with him when he died. What is the reason this has been brought against me, 0 God?" The prisoner here made a rambling statement about her husband's mother having accused her of poison. ing her husband because she could not get some money that belonged to him. The Harvard crew has arrived from America to take part in the international boat race. A marriage is about to take place between the Princess Santa Croce (eldest daughter of the late Prince and of the sister of Mr. Vincent Scully, ex-M.P. for Cork county) and the Marchese Macchiavelli-Rangoni, a sergeant of Papal Zouaves, and representative of one of the greatest Modenese houses. THE ALDERSHOT MURDER.—The inquest on the body of Corporal Brett, who was shot on Tuesday by a Private named Dixon, has been held. TLe prisonar, it was stated, had been drinking a little, but knew what he was about. The jury returned a verdict of Wilful Mur der, and the prisoner was committed for trial. THE QUEEN'S COUNTY MURDER.—Captain Lam bert, who was shot at Athenry, is rapidly recovering. It is expected that he will be able to leave his bed this week. The prisoner, Peter Barrett, was brought up before the magistrates on Monday, and some witnesses were examined. The proceedings were private. It is supposed that there must have been more than one person concerned in the outrage. The organ of the Catholic clergy in Montreal, the Nouveau Monde, wholly repudiates in two successive leading articles the ideas which prompt the endeavours of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, condemning, as both inhuman and ridiculous in the extreme, any legal measures taken simply on their account —animals having no moral standing, and therefore no rights. AN IMPENDING CALAMITY. —The inhabitants of Durrenstein and the neighbourhood areliving a life of con stant dread. Near the castle which tradition points out as the prison of Richard Coeur de Lion, a whole granite cliff has begun to slide downwards, and it is expected from day to day that the vast mass of rock will be pre cipitated over the road into the Danube. The highway is closed from eight o'clock in the evening till six o'clock in the morning, and during the day everyone who wishes to pass is given to understand that he does so at his own risk. Mr. Solch, a well-known engineer, is engaged on works which are intended to diminish as much as possible the destructive effects of the catas trophe. SHOCKING OUTRAGE. —A private of the 97th Regiment at Dover has been committed for trial charged with a most dastardly outrage on a child. He first criminally assaulted a little girl named Wade, and then threw her like a bundle of clothes--as those say who saw the occurrence— over the cliff. Ic seems marvellous that, although falling on a projecting ledge of rock some distance from the bottom, she should have escaped being dashed to pieces. She not only escaped with life, however, but also without any broken bones or permanent injuries, and has been able to make her depositions in presence of the magistrates. The populace are much exasperated with the prisoner, and some attempts have been made to get at and lynch him. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—An alarming accident happened to the eminent French artist and singer, Mdlle. Sthneider, at the St. James's 'Theatre, on Wednesday evening. At the fall of the curtain in the last scene of " Orphtle aux Enfers" her dress was ignited by the flame used in making the effect of lightning, and in a moment was in a blaze. Great alarm and excitement prevailed, and two or three gentlemen jumped from the private boxes on the stage and from the stalls, but by the rapid action of the actors who surrounded her the flames were extinguished. this was not done, however, till almost the whole of her dress had been destroyed. Fortunately, Mdlle. ,Schneider has escaped without the smallest injury. After the curtain fell it was again raised, and she came forward, the audience testi fying, by tkcjignalluqheiukciation, the plemiate her =a/ ME? ROPOLITAN GO&VP—Wednesday. Very heated and excited were the Peers last night. Some mischievous Mephistopheles, the enemy of an here ditary legislature, had put it into the heads of the Conser vatives that this was no longer a political, but:a personal, question, and that at all costs they must reassert their dignity against that overbearing and disagreeable Person Mr. Gladstone. Filled with this notion, it soon became evident that the hope of a compromise, so fair yesterday morning, was not to be realised, and that the country would be plunged into the midst of a,ponsti tutional crisis because Mr. Gladstone had told the' Peers that they were up in a balloon. The House was very full. The ladies mustered in full force, among them was the wife of the Premier. He was on the steps of the Throne, anctfor nearly twenty minutes held earnest, and apparently very friendly, talk with Sir Bounden Palmer. It was not difficult to guess the subject of it, for both statesmen had the Irish Church Dill in their hands, and both referred to it as the conver sation went on, Mr. Gladstone seeming to convince L's friend. More and more animated, acrid, angry, grew the debate. Earl Grey, " chartered libertine " though he is, taxed the almost inPxbsustible patience and courtesy of Enrl .4nville. The Duke of Argyll, never slow to itre - up, was in a state of red heat. Lord Salis bury made perhaps the worst, I mean the moot, suitable, speech tl , at he could possibly have made. It was personally insolent to the Premier, and it was jocose to a degree most unseemly at such a solemn crisis. Lord Hatherley, a man of most equable temperament, was roused into extreme indignation. Lord IVinchilsea, the pigeon-shooters' friend, compared Mr. Gladstone to Jack Cade. Lord Shaftesbury was one of the few peers who contrived to maintain a judicial calm, and to warn the House of the extreme danger it was incurring by thwarting the will of the nation. No sooner was the result of the division known than a telegram announcing it was sent off to the Queen at Osborne, whither she arrived yesterday; and summonses were issued for the holding of a Cabinet Council to-day, at the unusually early hour of eleven o'clock. It is sitting as I write. Of course the result of it is not officially known ; but down at the House this morning (it is a morning sitting to-day), there is no doubt felt as to the course which Ministers will take. That course will be announced in both HoEses to-morrow, and it is fully expected that Lord Grahville will tell the Peers, and Mr. Gladstone the Commor s, that Parliament will be pro rogued at the earliest possible moment, and will be sum moned again in the autumn, I presume in November. This unfortunate collision between the two Houses will Involve a perfect holocaust of useful measures. The Bank ruptcy Bill was doomed from the moment that the Peers decided to refer it to a select committee. Two minor measures—the Public Offices Site Bill, and the Trade Marks Registration Bill—were already set down for with drawal, and so the New Law Courts are once more post poned sine die. A still more important measure—the Habitual Criminals Bill—which originated in the Lords at the beginning of the session, has been marked for slaughter. In fact, this year, like so many that have gone before, will be a lest year so far as social reforms go. High politics are fatal to useful legis lation of the non-political class. I suppose it cannot be helped, but even the mere moneyloss caused to the nation by these delays must be enormous. A scene took place just after the meeting of the Com mons this morning. Mr. Milbank, M.P. for the North Riding, rose and asked the Speaker whether there were any means of obtaining redress for an insult offered to the Premier in the other House. The Speaker, of course, told the hon. member that the Commons had no cognisance of what occurred in another place, but Mr. Milbank got well cheered, and the incident chews how rapidly the attitude of the Lower House towards the Upper is deepening into exasperation. I believe that Captain Vivian will be named Financial Under-Secretary to the War Office. He will act as Mr. Lowe's deputy, and revise the accounts of the de. partment. The Office very much wished to avoid such revision, but Mr. Lowe insisted upon having it. Between Captain Galion and Sir H. Storks there has long been an irreconcilable feud. It is expected that the former gentleman will be transferred to the new tele graphic department. All doubt about the great Warwickshire scandal is set at rest. Again and again have paragraphs appeared- insp're 1 ap,,. r ntly by those with whom the wish was father to tire thought—that the case would not be tried. But this aft,rnoon a formal step was taken in the Divorce Court, and counsel stated that it was Sir Charles Mor daunt's fu'l determination to proceed with the action. Mr. Jefferson Davis is still resident here, but suffering from deplorable health. It is doubtful whether he will ever return to the United States. Should he recruit a little he will spend the summer in Canada and the winter in the mild climate of A11,,1,...1,01. FOREIGN; NOT THE ALABAMA CLAIMS. The policy of masterly inactivity is being consistently carried out. The official a'lvices received by the State Department at Washington affirm that Mr. Motley, " in his numerous interviews with the English anthoritiNq, has, eo far, neither male nor hear.l any reference to the Alabama Claims." THE FRENCH ATLANTIC CABLE. The difficulty respecting the landing of the French Atlantic Cable may now be considered at an end. It was in the power of tln, United States Government to refuse permission for the cable to be landed, since the right of granting such permission vests only in Con gress, whereas the French company had obtained authority only from the State Legislature of Massa chusetts. But this power will not be exer cised. Secretary Fish agrees to allow the cable to be landed, and the company on its part undertakes to con form to the terms of the bill on this telegraph cable ques tion, which was brought before Congress last session. The provisions of this measure do not, however, in volve any hardship. The United States merely reserve the right of transmitting their own messages through their own clerks, with the privilege of priority. Saving this proviso, there is nothing in the bill to interfere with the concession granted to the French Company by the Paris Government. Of course as the power of allow ing a cable to be landed rests only with Congress, the per mission given by Secretary Fish holds good only until the Legislature meets ; but no difficulty in the way of a per tnanent agreement is apprehended. MORE ILL-TREATMENT OF EMICRANTS. Yet another complaint has been made of the want nt provision for the comfort of passengers on board emi grant ships. A Mr. Carpenter, who recently made the voyage to New York in the Black Ball vessel Alexander Marshall, attributes the deaths of four of his children to the bad food and bad cooking on board. He says that he was unable to obtain proper nourishment for his family. The meat was not weighed, but a piece was cut off at random. The passengers had often to wait several hours before they could get their food cooked, and then it was wretchedly done. Mr. Carpenter makes no complaint against the captain or officers. A3fERICAN FENIANS IN ENGLAND. Colonel Warren, the American Fenian who sojourned a space in an English gaol, and was recently let out, has had an interview with General Grant. The worthy Colonel seeks redress for the " incarceration of American citizens in British bastiles." The _Yew Krk Herald says that he gave the President a full account of the horrors endured by himself and other patriots during imprisonment. " The President promised to give the most careful consideration to the matter, and declared that it was his intention to protect at all hazards the rights of American citizens in all parts of the world." Besides this interview, the gallant Colonel was admitted to the presence of Secretary Fish, upon whom he strongly urged the necessity of promptly interfering on behalf of American Fenians yet confined. The American Secretary did not quite see it. He was not aware that interference would du any good. Of course Colonel Warren recom• mended him to fight. EXECUTION OF AMERICANS IN CUBA. President Grant has ordered an inquiry into the exect, Lion of Spakman and other Americans by the Spaniards in Cuba. Admiral Hoff, commander of the United States squadron off Cuba, has been directed to immediately send a war-ship to Santiago. According to the despatches from Cuba published in the New York papers, this slaughter of American filibusters is going on in a wholesale manner. One telegram from Santiago says that altogether a hundred men who landed from the Grapeshot have been executed. DISTURBANCES IN ITALY. A serious riot took place the other day at the University of Naples, on the day of the examination for bachelor's degree. Several professors were grievously injured, and the university schools were devastated. The aid of the National Guard was found necessary. The cause of this extraordinary tumult has not yet been ascertained, but it is remarkable that the students shewed great hostility to the police. The riot could not be suppressed until the Italian " blues " were withdrawn. EASTERN EUROPE. It has been announced in several of the Austrian papers that the Prince of Montenegro was about to make war on Turkey, in order to get possession of the little fort of Spitza which he covets. It appears, however, that the Eastern question is not to break out in the ridiculous form of the ruler of a few square miles making war upon the recruited Sick Man. The " war" will not come off. But there has been a little difficulty. The Prince has applied for a " rectification of frontier," and the Porte has granted the request, following up this concession by constructing blockhouses on the frontier in order t hma thglittle R4o. order _ for _the futum THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 22, 1869. THE LADIES' CHAMPION. Mr. Herbert is determined to rescue the ladies from their privacy in spite of themselves. Mr. Layard asserted that out of 200 whom he asked, all but two were for the continuance of the screen in their gallery. Mr. Herbert cannot believe that ladies wish to conceal their charms ; the modesty of the violet is altogether incredible to him living in these days. He therefore means to give notice that early next session he will renew his motion in favour of removing the ungrateful grating. NON-PURCHASE. It seems tolerably clear that if the purchase system is to be abolished in the army there must be some system devised whereby retirement shall be secured. The Royal Artillery is a non-purchase corps. In it promotion has come to an entire dead lock. The subalterns have not had a step since the 13th of last January, and as far as can be seen at present they will get only one, or at most two, steps before the 13th of next January. If the present state of things continues long the minor officers of the corps will begin to leave it. The mystery of Spa" at the present moment is a young lady in black, who is one of the most persistent gamblers of that gambling centre. Every day she presents herself at the roulette table armed with a purse containing teu notes of one thousand francs each. 'When these are gone she immediately quits the table. If she wins, however, she is more liberal, for she will play until her total gains amount to thirtythousand francs. She ieverplaysbeyond that point. The habitués say that this young and charming unknown in black makes a considerable profit at the business in this way, but no one can tell who she Is. THE EVENING PAPERS ON THE CRISIS. The Pall Mall Gazette greatly regrets that Earl Gran ville stopped at the first defeat in order that the Ministry might consider the propriety of withdrawing the Irish Church Bill. The whole of the bill should have been disposed of before the Cabinet considered such a question. The Peers met, chafing under irritation at the contemptuous spirit evinced against them in the House of Commons and by the press, and the first adverse vote was the result of that irritation. It was bad statesmanship on the part of the Government to treat this first angry vote as final. Had all that was to be urged in the Upper House been patiently beard, and the amendments of the Lords been still persevered with, the Government would have been amply justified, and the Ministry and the House of Commons would have been saved from the charge of contemptuous aggression upon the functions of the House of Lords. But if now Ministers with- draw the bill they will do EO on grounds which, at least, half the world will call insufficient, and in a way which, while it must necessarily aggravate the hostility of the Houses, will greatly justify the quarrel of the Lords. How much the Lords themselves may be offended we do not greatly care ; but they, too, have their partisans in the country, and we cannot think that wise conduct which unnecessarily inflames and extends a quarrel bitter enough a'ready. The Globe, in a note upon the crisis, says :—" The responsibility which the decision of the Lords throws upon Mr. Gladstone is a crucial one. In its very nature it is a test of the real motive and inspiration of his policy. If, as he alleges, be be in fact supremely desirous of passing the Irish Church Bill, and settling the questions at stake in its provisions, he can now do so without any humiliating compromise or fatal inconsistency. He knows on what points the Lords have yielded, and are still willing to give way. These points are really numerous and important, and the concession of them reveals so SO wise a spirit of conciliation as to be entitled to the utmost respect. On the other hand, the Prime Minister knows that the points on which the Lords will not give way are few in number ; that they are by no means incompatible with the integrity of his measure ; and that a great number of his followers in the House of Commons would be heartily glad to yield them. If, then, we repeat, he be really anxious to do some great thing for Ireland during the present session, the opportunity..., is clearly open to him ; and he will, moreaver, - prove himself to be a statesman of finer temperament, of nobler moderation, and of more unselfish inspiration than his opponents, and some even of his followers, have hitherto thought him to be. If, on the other hand, lie is intent on the assertion of the authority of his personal will, if the absolute imperlitin of Mfr. Gladstone' is the goal at which he aims, be will refuse all concession and perpetuate turbulent popular agitation by appealing to the bigotry of Ultramontanism on the one side, and the impatience of voluntaryism on the other. The result may possibly, though we do not think it, be victory for the moment, but the suspicions of those who have, as Minisfer. his great talent be mistakes self-will for sagacity, arro gance for dignity, and impetuosity of purpose for the tact by which the surest and most abiding political triumphs are achieved, will be justified before all the ' nation." While in this leader the Croix urges Mr. Gladstone to adopt the amendments, in another part of its paper it says, " Whether the decision of the House of Lords be accepted or rejected, the Government will hardly escape from a very memorable position. If Mr. Clad stone adopts the amendment lie surrenders his principle. If he withdraws the bill he commits himself to a long and arduous, and a very doubtful struggle." From the Orks:eys to Land's End (says the Echo), from the coast of the German Ocean to the Atlantic shore of Ireland, the country now is possessed with one feeling of grateful and earnest resolution, that Mr. Gladstone must be supported against the defiance of the House of Lords. It is for Mr. Gladstone and his colleagues to consider whether the defiant attitude of Lord Cairns, taken in connection with this adverse vote, permits of any reason able hope that the bill can be carried, by offering this first part only of the preamble, with its leading and distinguish ing feature unchanged. Lord Cairns roundly asserts his determination to surrender nothing of all the spoils c. hick the Lords' amendments gathered together for the Irish Church, except the Ulster glebes and the ecclesiastical tax. Ministers can judge much better than any observers from the outside how far the temper of the Peers indicates a determination to support Lord Cairns in overriding the decisions of the House of Commons. We must own that the majority of seventy-eight against Ministers does not encourage us to be very hopeful ; still, Lord Granville may be able to assure himself that it is possible to eradicate from the bill the most noxious of the amend ments which Lord Cairns pledges himself to maintain, as well as the principle of concurrent endowment, fully asserted by the majority that followed Lord Stanhope. If he, knowing well the disposition of those whom he has to manage, cannot entertain such an assurance, it will remain for the Ministry to revert to their first thoughts, and to carry out unflinchingly the policy by which—or rather by the mere threat of which—in 18-32 the House of Lords was brought into accord for the moment with the national will, or take what other course may seem expedient. Should Ministers be forced to decide upon this course, which we fully admit is an extreme remedy the applica tion of which is justified only by an extreme evil, the nation must hold itself firmly faithful, unswervingly loyal to Mr. Gladstone. THE CANADIAN QUESTION. (From the Anglo-American Times.) Men so misunderstand each other as to keep in per petual surprise the few with really cosmopolitan feel ings, of which we could scarcely give a better in stance than that furnished by Mr. SLTMNER'S famous speech. None who know the Senator deny his motives to be noble, or that he is an orator of great power, and therefore of no ordinary intelligence and learn ing, as well as a lawyer who has studied profession ally both in England and America, hence, a person who might reasonably be supposed to see two sid..s of a question. Yet, the delivery of his recent speech and its publication prove his incapacity to appreciate the effect in Europe of what he said. It is a positive fact that Mr. SUMNER believed he was making rather a conciliatory speech, his earnest desire being to smooth down asperities, and to effect the per manent settlement of a matter that might other wise be productive of mischief, which he considered would be best achieved by such concessions on the part of England as would really heal the wounds and appease the irritation inflicted by her on America. By making his case very strong he in tended to ascend to a height from which the nation could conveniently come down a considerable dis tance, and yet occupy a commanding position. The result proved that he was wholly ignorant of the sentiments actuating this country, although the descendant of an English family, bred in a New Eng land State, and having even studied his profession itself, in England. There are times when a man is compelled to resolve. A disagreeable probability may hang over him, for years it may loom in the distance, its presence within the range of his vision may always be felt, yet he may endea vour to ignore it, even deny its existence, although prepared for almost any sacrifice to get rid of the nightmare. This was Euglaud'e F ositiow. re garding a war with America prior to Senator SUM NER'S speecb. The phantom he has dreaded as umes a material shape, and the man being face to face with his difficulty girds up his loins for the struggle he then regards as inevitable, and, no longer seeking escape, turns with resolution to meet what hitherto his life might have been an attempt to avoid. This was something like England's position with regard to a war with America after Senator SUMMER'S speech. When the lion. W. WoonwanD wrote to J. E. TitoursoN that England would sur render Canada, pay any amount of damages, and do anything rather than go to war with America, he showed an ignorance of England as dangerous as that of Mr. SUMNER. It need not surprise if such men so wholly misapprehend a kindred people, that the masses should not understand each other. In deed it would be surprising if those, who knew themselves so little that they blundered into a gigantic civil war, should be able nicely to appre ciate the sentiment likely to sway the national heart of a foreign people. We are led to these re marks by a letter from a correspondent in Canada of the London Standard, who has about as accurate an appreciation of the feeling in England or in the United States regarding Canada, as that regarding Britain whereon Mr. SUMNER acted in the Alabama affair. Whether the correspondent estimates aright the feeling in Canada or not, it is evident that he misrepresents it in a way we desire to correct, for it is important that the English should not be misled on the subject. As in all other countries there is a wide diversity of sentiment in Canada, but the tendency there, as elsewhere, may be trusted to be sooner or later in the direction of the national interest. If the property-holders of the colony believe that annexation would increase its value, however loyally they might talk, their opposition would be but lukewarm ; and if it be so as regards the present, they would become its ad vocates in the future if the cause remained, for gain would prove a never-decreasing magnet of attrac tion, while loyalty and dislike and such sentiments rise and fall, ebb and flow, in force and direction. The question is, whether in a material way the people would he benefited by entering the Union. Many of the Canadians doubt it on account of the heavy debt saddled on the Republic by the war, while some strenuously deny it ; but it would be best..etv..,a ‘.:eurat.,a j estimating teyaltie of pro perty nearest the boundaries, and the general well being of the inhabitants on each side. We do Lot pretend to discuss that subject, which would require both study and reflection ; but there are broa 1 facts involved, which he who runs' can read. Every effort in England is to direct the tide of emigration towards Canada ; yet these efforts are not only in vain, as regards the mass, but four-fifths of those sent into the Dominion cross the line and settle in the States. No N this remarkthle factii the fir,t, point with which to deal when such questions arise; for there must be some very powerful cause, which those who wish honestly to convey information, or to satisfy their own minds, will not ignore Yet it is always put aside by these advocates of the British connec tion and of the Confederation of Canada. What is beneficial to this multitude of individuals would, it is reasonable to suppose, be beneficial to the country at large, unless accounted for by the whole of Canada being shown to be inferior in soil and climate to the States of the Union, in which case it would be a sin to direct emigration there. It is, however, well Established, that the portion of the Dominion between Laks Erie, Huron, and Ontario is equal to any land in the United States, or perhaps in the world. It is not then infe riority, as far as the gifts of nature are con cerned, but that a larger measure of prosperity being developed across the border, is favourably felt by the incomer, who gets into a drift of more enterprise, more capital, more people, and more security. That the Dominion, as a whole, would benefit by follow ing the example set by so many of its children, and throwing itself into the Union, might reasonably be supposed, as it would come in nationally for the stronger tide of material gains, which to them are the inducements. Many in Canada feel this ; but what the correspondent asserts is undeniably true, that there are devotedly loyal Canadians who re sent even the mention of annexation. Who are these people? and wherein lie the moving springs of their action ? While the correspondent terms those who desire to improve their property, speculators, to whom British connection, annexation, or anything else, is only a question of so many pounds, shillings, and pence, or rather of dollars and cents, we do not desire to retort with a to quoque, but the motives of the " truly loyal" will, on inquiry, be found to be spiced in a way far from dissimilar. We believe that these material motives are among the strongest, and when all the lumber and rubbish are set aside it is seen that the ground of the annexationist and that of the British connectionist are alike. The masses believe, or are moving towards the belief, that in a material way they would benefit by throw ing in their lot with the United States ; and with that belief will grow their desire to do so. The official classes, on the contrary, and those bound by near ties to England, naturally oppose such a measure. A man with a title, no doubt desires to keep it, so with the office-seeker to hold on to what he has found. Those who have risen to place and power under the system, like the system, and wish well to be left alone. They go further, for they struggle that well may be left alone, and be ing so placed that they can make their voices heard above the hoarse murmur of the multitude, these are the voices England really does hear. They have besides an advantage in what, used as an argument, tells so fatally against them, the emigration of those from Canada who prefer the Union, into the Union, whereby the stream of discontent freely flows away. Were it otherwise, it is possible that the hoarse murmur might be heard a trifle louder.

But these are mere surface feelings, jealousies, and d . preju Ices, which have no real hold in the Canadian heart, and would be powerless to check the movement towards annexa tion, if the material interests of the Provinces lead that way. The correspondent is very angry with MA GL ADSTONE) Noun au unknowu friend of his wrote from New York that England should give up Canada, as the connection creates a feeling of irritation among a large class of the American people, against whom England could not defend Canada in case of war. That the Pilule Minister should tolerate suchian impertinence has aroused through out the Dominion an intense disgust, and led to the conviction that the British Ministry favour the severance of the connection. Will the corre spondent tell us why it is a crime and an imper tinence for the New Yorker to write an undeniable truth? Is it unwise in a statesman of great power to weigh " the irritation of a large class of the American people," and the consequences to the Empire of a war? It might suit a Canadian office holder to risk anything rather than his place, but a British Prime Minister cannot afford thus to act, and we feel inclined to bear lightly the full amount of the humiliation of the Prime Minister in reading with inter st the letter of the New Yorker, desiring him, as we do, to work on the truth, the whole truth, and nothicg but the truth, from whatever source derived. The Canadian's remarks on the successful defence of Canada against the United States are scarcely worthy of notice, and are not unlike the ridiculous pretensions often put forward in the United States on the other side. One man talks of marching from Detroit with a few thou sand Michigan volunteers to Quebec, and perma nently attaching and reconstructing the Dominion in thirty days; doing it all cheap on contract. Although the correspondent does not reach this height of absurdity, he writes only in a lesser strain. " Canada can be rendered all but impregnable if the plan sketched by the late Sir James Shaw Ken nedy be carried out ; if the borders of Canada are 1,500 miles, so are the borders of the United States; while the strategical posts are by nature stronger than Richmond or any of the Southern points of defence." 'lionizing such follies mislead nations into fools' pa radises, where they are rudely disturbed by finding themselves, before ascertaining the cost, committed to a frightful war. There is no other country so defenceless as Canada, as it is a long thin line, along the border of an overwhelming Power, with the full force of that empire there concentrated. Therein lies the hopelessness of a Canadian defence, and the absurdity of a comparison with the South. It was no long, narrow line which divided the Northern strength from the Southern points of de fence, but vast stretches of country, through which the further the genuine Northerner penetrated the more hostile everything around him became ; but with Canada, from the very seat of his power, the Northerner takes a stride, and he is in the heart of his enemy's territory. If the correspondent knew anything of war he would not put forth such puerile remarks, but recognize a palpable fact, however disagreeable. THE DIVISION.

The terrible fate which attended that young lord, the Marquis of Hastings, and the late execution in the mansion of a Duke, by which the vulgar were enabled to pry into the ducal domestic arrangements and practically ascertain upon what sort of down such "swells" reposed, have directed public attention to the means by which these gentle men were ruined, and have led to vigorous action for the suppression of gambling schema: and ph4ts.

Pleasant PalAtable, and iirrjeratirg. geld by all chemipto.—(Adyt] ANOTHER AMERICAN DIFFICULTY. The Round Table disputes the wisdom of the American system of separating the seat of Go vernment from the commercial capital of the State. That Legislatures within the Republic are corrupt in no ordinary degree is a fact generally admitted, and many reasons have been advanced why it should be so. We are apt to select what appears to us the most apparent cause, and dwell on that to the ex clusion of others, while many influences may really combine to achieve the result. In separating the political capital from the commercial capital, the founders of the Republic were actuated in no small degree by the desire to shield the legislators from temptation. Their argument was simple and forc ible as applied to the existing circumstances. If the poorer Representatives sent into the Legislature by outlying portions of the Union were brought into contact with a rich trading city, there was a danger that they might sell the general interests to benefit the city, or even a clique of its merchants. If, on the contrary, the asieinbly was at an out-of-the way place, there would be nothing to divert the mind from its legislative duties, and the oppor tunity would not be offerel to bribers by constant intercourse of learning each individual's weak points, detecting those who could be seduced and the means required. At that time the Republic was a simple, unpretending community of States, where plenty smiled, but into which little wealth and few luxu ries bad penetrated. A man surfeited with pork wanted no more pigs, and the most thirsty legisla t e. could only drink the pailful of milk he possessed ; his tastes were simple,-and his wants abundantlysup plied. As State after State entered the Union they followed the example set by the fathers, separating the capital from Cee town destined to be the com mercial emporium, and, in it, those returned, ex pended the salary which enabled each to live in comfort, and supply every necessary requirement. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof, and expe rience is practically enforcing on statesmen the truth that sufficient unto the day of a nation's life are the constitutional enactments and measures of the gene ration without thrusting them, as heaven-born wis dom, on the next. Though WASHINGTON could le gislate ably for the infant Republic in which he lived, he could not legislate for what it was to be a century later, and while there is wisdom in regarding what he and his assistants did as in some degree inspired, for then necessary changes only are'made, yetit would be folly to regard their acts as absolutely inspired, and the Constitution they drew up as inviolable. Yet the wisdom in iy be doubted which insisted upon sepa rating, even in that day, the political from the real capital of the country. Doubtless the jealousies existing between such cities as Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, had much to do with the foundation of Washington. Still, its crea tion was on a principle slavishly followed by each State as it entered the Union, though at least two of the original States seated their own Legislatures in their large and wealthy commercial emporiums. The fathers calculated that the means they took in their day would be effective against corrup• tion, for the inducements were not sufficiently strong to overcome the obstacles by which they th en secured the Representatives from contamination. A class must have large interests at stake who sent a member to a distant village, when roads were bad and before railways were established, to engage in the unsophisticated bribery o f th e rustic gathering, where the fact would be notorious, and, at that time, hateful to the simple-minded Republican commu nity. But WASHINGTON could not foresee that the most distant of the Legislatures might one day be communicated with, instantaneously, from any part of the Thirteen original Staten, and reached person ally within a few hours. He did not anticipate the growth of wealth and luxury, wherein are the germs of corruption, for it is not the poor society, but the rich, in which such vice flourishes. Had he fore seen the change, we might still doubt whether his imagination could have conceived the machinery now in vogue. Although the Representatives are not personally associated with the wealthy mer chants, corporations, and classes who desire to " buy" them, being away in their distant State capitals, they are under the eye of agents expressly trained to ascertain the points of a Representative, accurately estimating his value and price, the pur chase, being worked out scientifically. The fathers had no conception of what a " ring" meant ; and their imagination could scarcely have grasped the wealth, the power, and the audacity of such a clique as the Erie directors. If they had they would have left the Federal capital at Philadelphia, or removed it to New York, while the State Legislatures would have assembled in the most populous, wealthy, and influential city of each State. These founders of the Republic, while feeling the strength of one chain of circumstances overlooked another. The Repre sentatives assembled iu a remote locality though out of the way of the active and wealthy traders, were within their reach ; they did nut come into contact, but when it became worth while to make their in fluence felt in the Legislature, it was found that the Representatives in the secluded village were placed as best suited the bribers. If men are to be kept on their good behaviour let them feel that many eyes are upon them. In a great city intrigue may be met by intrigue ; a pernicious influence may be counteracted by a high and pure influence, and there, in the battle of life, the good and bad are so intermingled that the one is always near to have a deterrent influence on the other. In the far away corner, however, this is not so ; for the greedy and unprincipled proceed to it to seek out their instru meats, while the good, who have no object to eerye, stay at home. Consequently the vicious predomi nate in the little community, where, instead of the fight being between virtue and vice, it is between contending evil. The state of things is not im proved by the absence of a population, for the re straints being removed, there is no check on the worst habits, which is not for the benefit of legis lation, nor of the character of Representative assem blies. The city of 'Washington is the grandest in stance of the working of this system, being created solely for the Federal capital ; but it is in the new States that the tendency can be best observed. Even in California, instead of locating the State capital at San Francisco, which some day will be to the Pacific far more than New York is to the Atlantic, the Legislature for three, years sat in three different places, the Supreme Court ea?,li time b eing obliged to follow it, as the contending parties prevailed in their intrigues about town lots. The Round Table points out a mischief arising from placing the Federal Go vernment in a place like Washington, remote from the centres of intelligence. Public supervision be comes more difficult as centralization progresses, while the great officers have attained to more and more power. Thus the rulers of the country, and those in whose hands are the foreign relations of what may become " an aggressive empire, are kept remote from the pressure of public opinion as de veloped in a real city." Nor is the Round Table at a loss for a pointed instance of the harm that may ensue in Home affairs on the one hand and Foreign affairs on the other. Supposing that Washington had been a genuine capital, " with wealth of its own and cultivation, and independent public opinion, and a society so vivacious and so attractive that legislators from all parts of the country were not only incited to do their best and rewarded by a quick and dis criminating appreciation of their powers, but also drawn into personal associations with one another under the influenn of a cultivated hospitality ; is it supposable that leading men from the North and from the South would have so fatally misunder stood one another ?" Or would Mr. SUMNER have been enabled to make a speech " in which he took ground quite new to his own and all other parties," without attracting attention until deep irritation had been aroused among a people able to injure the Republic. The Round Thble contends that if the Le gislature sat in New York, he could not have acted so; adding, "General GRANT has at this moment' greater power in some respects than has NAPOLEON the Third. Now, how long would NAPOLEON govern France from Avignon ? How could he dispense with the daily and hourly sympathy and intercourse with the very heart of the nation which is given him by his residence in its real capital ?" The West desires the transfer of the seat of Government to St. Louis, and the metropolitan paper, while regard- , ing New York as beyond doubt the proper place, considers that this desire of the West will yet prove a real difficulty. The West grows in power, and holds to the crude notion that the seat of a legislative body can best be fixed by a pair of compasses applied to a map, and a calcula tion of the mileage paid to its members. The Round Table thinks the time has arrived when her natural pride should be taken into account by the East, that she may not first be exasperated into frenzy and next stamped into subjection as was the South, but a more civilized course be fol lowed in a difficulty which sooner or later must be met. The New York paper thus coolly talks of the East stamping down the West ; but we would be very sorry to see the East try, or it is just pos sible it might be stamped out itself. This question, however, of a National Capital is one of the diffi culties of the Republic, which increases with the march of Empire westward. The statesmen of the present desire by a lavish expenditure on washing ton to root the seat of Government there, that the suggestion even, may cease to arise in the Western mind ; but the question will arise for another ge neration to settle, and perhaps prove no small bone of contention. Whatever may be the changes, we trust the, error will not again be repeated of ima gining that a rustic locality will impart to legisla tors a rural simplicity, for statesmen ought to know, the virtue of places removed from human haunts lies in the fact that there is nobody there ; but that if they desire to create a pandemonium they should select such places and offer attractions to the vici ous, for the truth of which we would Mer them to the towns which sprang up with the advancing track of the Union Pacific Railroad.—Anglo-American Times. CUBA. The Times in an article on Cuba gets on our plat form, and almost repeats what we said six months ago. The Government of Madrid is advised to sell Cuba, and make the best of the hopeless circum stances, being thankful that ithasanycolony connected with America left to sell, as also a buyer. Throughout this article may be distinctly traced the policy we have always urged, even at a time when it was reckoned but slightly disguised treason ; that is, the severance of all political connection between Europe and America. When thecolonies were young,poverty stricken communities, struggling with the waste and its savage inhabitants, that connection was a neces sity, and, fortunately, Governments were imbued with the error that the home country was strength ened by appropriating these vast territories. Sel fish motives induced them to expend money on the government of such colonies, and selfish motives in those days made them freely expend blood and treasure in the attempt to preserve the connection, even against the wish of the inhabitants. That error has exploded, and a more liberal and enlightened policy has supervened. One of the most momentous blunders ever perpetrated was that of George lIL in driving the thirteen colonies into rebellion and then fighting them. Now it is known that no con nection is worth preserving which has to be main tained by a standing army against the hostility of the people. Such is the position of Cuba with re gard to Spain ; and it is said that General PRIM is penetrated with the conviction that even Cuba is not worth being preserved as a Spanish colony by two score thousand of Spain's best troops. He goes further; for he believes that it cannot be thus preserved, but must eventually be lost. To get rid of it, then, on the best terms would be the rational conclusion, and Spain has the example of Russia as regards Alaska, of Denmark as regards St. Thomas's, as well as of France, with regard to the State of Louisiana, which fetched in the year 1803 the tidy little sum of 60 millions of francs at a time when francs were not only much more valuable, but much more required in Paris. The sooner Spain opens negotiations at Washington for the sale of the island the better for all concerned, most as suredly for the Cubans, who either might return the purchase money to the United States by a levy on their property, and find themselves much richer than theywould be in possession of devastated estates after even another season of warfare ; or the island might enter the Union as a State and the purchase money represent the bonus given the Cubans to take their share of the United States Debt. When known that such a treaty was in progress the insur gents would lay down their arms, and Spain's sove reignty being f ully recognised, Spanish honour would be satisfied. Indeed, as there would be money in the case Spain might put her honour in her pocket as she did all her obligations to her creditors. It is evident that the Times is now prepared to advocate the severance of the British connection with North America, for no sentence could be more distinct than this— "It is for the advantage of both hemispheres, we think, that each of the two should follow its own course untram melled by the interference of the other." This simply marks the acceptance by the w or ld' s leading organ of opinion of the MoNrtor. doctrine, which, when carried into practice, will be the com plete triumph of American policy, and the legiti mate fruit of the great Civil War. The report at Washington was that General SICKLES was instructed to negotiate for the pur chase of the island. A leading paper says "We have no disposition to waste a penny on Spain's forfeited possession." We think this to be a mistake, not as regards America, but as regards the Cubans, who are a wealthy people, unfitted for war, and it would surely be better worth their while to pay a forfeit to preserve their lives and property, instead of pro tracting a.struggle which would cost them infinitely more, and the question should be seen from the Cu ban as well as from the American point of view.— Anglo-American limes. SILK IN AMERICA. Silk is yet likely to take a place in the United States, equalling cotton in importance, as the people have thrown themselves with their usual energy and ingenuity into its culture. The leading State for this produce is California, which a Chinaman considers to be the best silk-growing country in the world, " because, the blunderers at the cocoone ries had not been able to kill half the worms." Three years ago there were about four millions of mulberry trees in the State, now there are more than twenty millions, and the year's produce of cocoons is estimated at one hundred millions, which will probably make 200,000 lbs. of reel silk. A meeting of silk-growers was held in Sacramento, to compare notes and interchange statements ou matters relating to the manufacture. Several silk , growing ladies being present added to the interest, as it practically demonstrated it was a business in which women and children might become active and useful co-operators. Among the settlers attracted into California by the glowing accounts circulated of its prospects in silk culture is Herr Schnell, who, with n thorough knowledge of the industry in Eu rope, has resided for twelve years as an official in Japan. He has brought with him several Japanese skilled in the cultivation both of silk and tea, and 50,000 of the trees preferred in Japan, the alba or white variety. The party have purchased 2,000 acres of land near Placerville, and they expect to be joined by several Japanese families, who will prosecute the industry. The united testimony of all familiar with the business in Italy, France, Ja pan, and China goes to show that California is pe culiarly adapted for silk culture, having singular facilities for growing the mulberry tree, and a cli mate exactly suited for the worm. Such advan tages cannot fail to attract Japanese immigration as well as Chinese, and with that influx will grout the production of silk, whereby a staple rivalling cotton in importance will be added to the exports of the United States. The extraordinary history* of the cotton industry in America may be repeated, and the Republic in that case will go far to monopo lise the cultivation, for it is evident that general attention has been attracted to it, the people taking lit up in earnest. From an interesting paper in the Tribune it appears that the silk mania now arising has not appeared for the first time. At a very early date silk was produced in America, for Charles the Second's coronation robe was of American silk, and a hundred years ago an English Queen received a silk dress, wholly produced and made there. To bacco proved much more profitable, and it was not till long after the Revolution that the silk mania culminated in ruining for a time the sil k culture in America. This con.menced in 1825,whe 0 Windham County, Connecticut, attracted the na tional attention by producing a quantity of raW silk. The mulberry tree was pl an t e d i n eve ry di rection ; Congressional Committees were appointed to report on the subject, and different States offered large premiums fur the p ro d uc ti on , w ithi n thei r bounds. A " filature" to teach young persons how to raise and prepare raw silk in Philadelphia w 3 ° proposed, though not car r ied ou t. Twelve wills were erected, and the transactions were enorm , o . ng iin young mulberry tre e s. Th e Rh o d e I s l an d Silk I Company establish e d a l arge cocoonery , em ployin g $lOO,OOO in the business. A p ro t ec ti ve d u ty of 2° per cent. was imposed on sewing silk, and the Tribune considers it due to this, that it survived to the present day. The morns multicaulus tree, whi ch sold as tulips did in the D u t c h man i a, failed, an"' after lasting many years, a reac ti on set i n, whic" , temporarily wrecked the cultivation of silk in the United States, though leaving behind it many use ful lessons. The chief manufacture is of silk threaut though pongees and foulards were woven in Con; necticut, and ribbons in Baltimore 20 years ago, of which for the last ten years the manufacture has bee n on the increase. Parasol coverings are made at Hart ford ; trimmings, scarves, braids, knotted fringe , and bullion fringes, are most profitably manufa,. turgid at Patterson, while American silk fabrics ar e competing favourably with European goods. At tention is now being turned to broad silks, as , in ribbons, braids, and trimmings forei g n competitio n weighted by heavy imposts has b een b e at e n.
