_ - THE OVEREND AND GURNEY PROSECUTIOP. The defendants in this case appear to be anxious to press rorward the trial. On Friday morning an application was made in Chambers to the Lcird. Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench to place the case first on the list for Friday, the 10th instant, being the first day of the sittings at Guildhall, but his lordship reserved his decision with a view to ascer tain how the business of the court stood. It is said that counsel have not yet been instructed to support the indictments, and that thero. is a probability of theprosecu tion falling through. DISHONEST NUNS. The Tablet learns from a trustworthy source, and upon more than one authority, that certain so-called Ritualist nuns are travelling about France, and passing themselves off for English Catholic sisters. They call at convents and on private families under the pretence of collecting alms for an interesting Catholic charity,and are fillin,gtheir purses every where. They then betake themselves to the best hotels, live for a time on the fat of the land, order their baths I=Anylaise, feast on the best dinners, and drink the choicest wines. A discriminating English lady suddenly came upon them the other day as they were thus regaling their wearied spirits in an hotel in the South of France, after the anxieties and toils of lying and begging. It appears that these women in nuns' clothing have bee* making a most successful raid ; " ces chores Saws A nylaises" excite the tenderest interest and sympathies among the good French people whom they victimise. TILE NEW ZEALANDERS' LOVE FOR THE MILITARY. The Pall .L . Trall Ga:ette publishes the following extract from a letter written by one of the oldest colonists in New Zealand, a shrewd, canny Scot, as "presenting a view of Lord Granville's policy which should at least suggest in quiry." The writer says :—"We shall never see the end of the present disturbances as long as a single regiment of Imperial troops is to be had. There is a certain set of men here who have hitherto lived and made fortunes out of the supplies required for the headquarters and out-stations; and these are the men who are loudest in their cries about the abandonment of the colony by the mother country. Rest assured that the cause of the present risings of the natives is to be found in the underhand policy of certain speculators at Auck land and - Wellington, and not in any inherent hatred of the natives to the settlers. A strict investigation into the ultimate destination of the arms and ammunition which have arrived here during the last three years would throw a curious light upon the present state of affairs. I am convinced, and many of the oldest settlers agree with me, that Lord Granville's `Self-Reliance Despatch,' as it is called, has done more towards putting down the outbreak than twelve regiments." LORD WHARNCLIFFE ON TEE GOVERNMENT POLICY, Two letters of interest were read at the great Conserva tive banquet at the Sheffield Working Men's Conservative Association on Thursday night. Mr. Disraeli wrote I have to acknowledge the receipt, through your courtesy, of an invitation, from a largo body of the working men of Sheffield, to a banquet at the Cutlers' Hall, on the 2nd December. Feeling honoured by the invitation, admiring their energy, and sympathising with their aim, I regret that engagements oblige me to forego the gratifying die. tincticn of being their guest." Lord Wiunxcuara, in apologising for non-attendance, and expressing his best wishes for the success of the meeting, "as rallying together the supporters of Con servative principles among the working classes in Sheffield," added: We have now had a year's ex perience of the effects of so-called Liberal Government, and we may congratulate that Government upon some very patent results of their endeavours to govern the country on their principles. Those principles are not difficult to sum up—one word will suffice—clap trap. By inflated promises and injudicious utterances on the part of men occupying prominent positions ih the Government, by a display of clemency intended at the time to purchase Irish popularity, they have succeeded in turning Ireland into a hot-bed of sedition, accompanied by more overt acts of treason and violence towards good citizens than has been the case for twenty years.. They have succeeded in penetrating the colonies with such feel ings of distrust with regard to the wish of England to maintain her connection with them, as to have called forth remonstrances from the leading colonists of London, and to have created soreness and ill-will between our dependencies and the mother country. It is not until next month that the taxpayers of England will feel the effects of Mr. Lowe's Budget of 1869, and the operation of that financial policy upon their pockets will appeal more directly to their intelligence than any words of mine. We heard a vast deal about retrenchment when the present Government took office. It has felicitously reduced our forces at a time when Ireland is almost in a state of siege ; it has so administered the public ofEces as to appoint individuals to posts for which their own speeches proclaim them to be signally unfit, and has thereby created places for other adherents. Under the guise of reduc tions, which have pressed with the greatest hardship upon subordinates, they have managed to provide easily for their higher political supporters. And this is called a Liberal Government. I hope that the people of Sheffield will not be led away any longer by professions unaccompanied by performances, that they will recognise the hollow sham of the present administration, and will support, when called upon, those who really labour for the benefit and desire the maintenance of the Constitution of their country. A man who goes under the names of Smith, Short, Rcse, &c., is extensively victimising tradesmen in various parts of the country. He advertises himself as a money lender. Before he lends money, however, he requires the first year's interest in advance. The interest being sent on, the principal fails to appear, and the inquiries of the police at the residence given only elicit the fact that the bird Las NEWSPAPERS UPON THEMSELVES.—TWO curious pieces of self-criticism appear in the religious literature the week, both of them relating to newspapers. The first case is that of the conscientious proprietor of the Church Herald, who announces that he has suspended its publication "cn account of the objectionable tone of its articles." The second is that of our Roman Catholic contemporary, the Tablet, who, having by some accident pronounced last week that " all the natural virtues collected together in one individual would be sin, in the absence of with,' now un equivocally accuses its own sentence of heresy, declaring the doctrine to be good Calvinism and excellent Luther anism, but positively condemned by " the Church." Whether it is the Twelve Days' Mission in the one case, and the approach of the (Ecumenical Council in the other, that has produced these " searchings of heart," we know not; but we will trust that so high a virtue may suffer no relapse. INCIDENTS AT A CONSE ediately after the sermon of the Bishop of Chester at the consecra tion of Dr. Goodwin, as Bishop of Carlisle, two incidents occurred that somewhat disturbed the solemnity of the occasion. Dr. Jacobson had no sooner pronounced the benediction than a a countryman, dressed in a well-stained ",smock," stalked in front of the lectern, and in a louder voice than had been heard in the choir that morning, said:—" Ladies and gentlemen, I am here to speak about the second coming." He somewhat startled people who had come unprepared for any revelation ; but the sound of his own voice frightened him, and he was led away by a verger who knew him to be a fool rather than a rogue, the poor fellow muttering something about thinking his time to speak had come. A few minutes afterwards the choir boys,. mistaking a pause that took place over some neces sary formula, distributed themselves among the congrega tion with the offertory bags. They were at least an I on: too soon, and some difficulty was experienced in leading them back to their seats. Afterwards the ceremony pro ceeded smoothly. "TIMES",,PRINTING MACELVR. As the construction of the first steam newspaper machine was due to the enterprise of the late Mr. Walter, of the Times, so (says Macmillan's Magazine), the construction of this last and most improved machine is due, in like manner to the enterprise of his son. The new " Walter Machine " is not, like Cowper and Applegarth's, alba Hoe's, the improvement of an existing arrangement, but an almost entirely original invention. Its principal merits are its simplicity, its accurate workmanship, its compactness, its speed, and its economy. While each of the ten-feeder Hoe machines occupies a largo and lofty room, and requires eighteen men to feed and work it, the new Walter machine occupies a space of only about fourteen feet by five, or less than any news paper machine yet introduced, and requires only three lads to take away, with half the attention of an overseer, who easily superintends two of the machines while at work. The Hoe machine turns out 7,000 impressions printed on both sides in the hour; but the Walter machine turns out 11,000 impressions completed in the same time. The new invention does not in the least resemble any existing printing machine, unless it be the calendering machine, which has pos,ibly furnished the type of it. At the printing cad it looks like a collection of small cylinders or rollers. The paper, mounted en a huge reel as it comes from the paper mill, goes in at one end in an endless web of 3,300 yards in length, seems to fly through amongst the cylin ders,and issues forth at the other end in two descending tor rents of sheets, accurately cut into lengths, and printed on both sides. The rapidity with which it works may be inferred from the fact that the printing cylin ders (round which the stereotyped plates are fixed), while making their impressions on the paper, travel at the sur prising speed of 200 revolutions a minute. As the sheet passes inwards, it is first damped on one side by being carried rapidly over a cylinder which revolves in a trough of cold water ; it then passes on to the first pair of printing and impression cylinders, where it is printed on one side ; it is next reversed and sent through the second pair, where it is printed on the other side; then it passes on to the cutting cylinders, which (livid() the web of now printed paper into the proper lengths. The sheets are rapidly conducted by tapes into a swing frame which, as it vibrates, delivers them alternately on either side, in two apparently con tinuous streams of sheets, which are rapidly thrown forward from the frame by a rocker, and deposited on tables at which the lads sit to receive them. The machine is almost entirely self-acting, from the pumping up of the ink into the ink-box cut of the cistern below stairs, to the registering of the numbers as they are printed, in the manager's room above. Such, in a few words, is the last great invention made in connection with newspaper printing—which reflects no little credit on the enterprise of Mr. Walter and the inventive skill of the gentlemen of the Times' staff—for it has been entirely de signed and manufactured on the premises—to whom he has entrusted its execution. LAW AND POLICE. Tire CONSENT OF PAT - VT.IE3.—A dispute as to the manner of taking accounts in the case of Begbie v. Fenwick, arising out of three mortgages on some iron ship building premises, was argued in the Court of Chancery. There had been a decree as to the manner of taking them, and it was asserted that the parties had consented to their being taken in a clif ferent way. The principal evidence as to the consent was a minute in the Chief Clerk's book, which was not signed by either of the parties or their solicitors. Lord Justice Giffard was of opinion that the alleged arrangement was not proved, and the parties were therefore entitled to their rights under the decree. He severely censured the manner in which the minute had been entered, and said ho hoped it would be the last time that an attempt would be made in that court to enforce an agreement made before the Chief Clerk, that was net signed. ADVICE TO SHAREHOLDERS. — In the Rolls Chambers several applications were made to the Chief Clerk to sanc tion compromises in the case of the shareholders of the New Zealand Banking Coinpany, such compromises having been accepted by the official liquidator. All contributories should know that official liquidators aro always open to offers of compromise, rather than the parties should go into bankruptcy. A DISHONOURED CITEQUE.—A tea broker, named Wright, carrying on business in Mincing-lane, has sued .the regis tered officer of the National Bank :for damages sustained through the dishonouring of a cheque. The plaintiff's lodgments in the bank from October 1867 till last August amounted to more than £60,000. InAugust he sent in a cteque for 112.0,having then a balance of £530, and on the following day received a note from the bank regretting that the cheque had not been paid on presentation, through an error of one of their clerks, but saying they had taken it up. The plaintiff contended that his credit was so much affected that ho had to make an arrangement with his creditors. The defence was that the mistake was unfortunate, but had not been the cauzis of the defendant's suspension. Verdict for tho plaintiff. Damages, 405., and the £lO paid into court. A RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—The widow of a stoker in tho employ of the North London Railway Company, has brought an action against the Great Northern Railway Company for compensation for the loss of her husband, who was killed in the Copenhagen Tunnel at Holloway. The North London has running powers over the Great Northern line, but the signals being under the control of the Great Northern, the latter wore held answerable for the error which caused the accident. After some discussion on the point, the plaintiff was nonsuited, with leave to move the full court to enter a verdict for her for .£5O. A HOPEFUL CrualAcrEn.—A little boy, 8 years old, whose head hardly reached the top of the dock, was charged with felony at the Chelmsford Assizes. He had placed on iron chain on the line of the Great Eastern Railway, near Littleburg and when one of his playmates objected he threatened to break his head with a stone. Since he has . been in prison he has been guilty of a series of mischievous acts such az turning off the gas in tho chapel, pulling down bells, and tearing up his blankets. The judge, after some delay,gave him up to his friends, advising them to give him a good flogging. flown, COLLrEItY CATASTRornE.—A serious explosion occurred at Swan-lane Colliery, Ilindley-green, near Wigan, on Friday, at six o'clock. Four men were seriously burned, and another injured. The gas ignited at a naked li g ht before work was begun. At the late meeting of the St. Pancras vestry, M r . Yolland, a representative of ward No. 8, asked a ciueation as to the manner in which some contract was given. The chairman of the committee of works commenced his answer with : " Mr. Yolland might have seen by the papers-" when he was interrupted by Mr. Yolland, " I don't read the papers." Avestryman remarked," What a happy man you must be, Yolland !" TEE POLICE MAGISTEACY.—Mr. Benson, of the Thames Police-court, will succeed the late Mr. Burcham at the Southwark Court, and Mr. Franklin Lushington will take the place vacated by Mr. Benson. The state ment that Mr. Bruce, of Leeds, is to be removed to London is not true, neither is he even distantly related to the Home Secretary, as has been reported. The will of the Hon. and Right Rev. Samuel n al &grave, D.D., Bishop of Carlisle, was sworn uncle' £20,000. He leaves his right of advowson and presentation to the new ecclesiaastical dif trict of Newbarns and Hawcoat, Dalton-en-Furness, Lancaster, to the Rev. Edward Auriol, M.A., rector of St. Dunstan's-in-the-West, London, and the Rev. Edmund Holland, Benhall Lodge, Saxmundham, Suf folk. He bequeaths to his wife an immediate legacy of £5OO, and a life interest in the rest of the property, which, after her decease, he leaves to be divided between his son and daughter. THE REV. C. H. SPURGEON.—AB our readers art aware, the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon has been suffering for some time r ast from a severe attack of smallpox. He has, however, so far recovered as to be able to leave London. He started on Thursday for Paris, and it is confidently hoped that he --___ REPORTED DISCOVERY OF GOLD AT ABERNETHY. will be enabled to return and occupy his own pulpit th e Sunday before Christmas.

That some which caused much consternation. Dlr. William Olney, trace of the precious metal has been found very recently the senior deacon, has recently died, and was buried last within the limits of the parish, is beyond a doubt.

' 't • ) itgargat* The most noticeable financial movement is the extraordinary fall in the value of gold in America. What we have all along asserted is now distinctly coming out, that the preference given by the Euro pean creditor to the United States bonds over gold, and their consequent export instead of gold, has re sulted in an accumulation of the precious metal in New York, which has thrown down its value and hastened and simplified the return to specie pay ments. Another effect will be to quicken the rise in value of these bonds, which far-sighted men know to be the best investment in the world. The two objects, the rise in the bonds and the fall of the gold, are the birds Secretary Boutwell is determined to bag with his one stone. That stone is a heavy weight of gold in the Treasury, Is ith which he gluts the market, changing the proceeds of the sales into bonds, which he locks up—in truth, cancels them. On the one side, these bonds are finding their way into all sorts of secret recesses throughout Europe, and on the other into the vaults of the Treasury, never to be re-h-:sued. This burning of the candle at both ends is having its effect in the enhanced value of these securities in spite of the fill in all property in America. Indeed that depression is more apparent than true, for gold does not really fall in value in America, being the world's stan dard ; it is the currency that is rising, it is the gas that is escaping, and the balloon descending from the rarified atmosphere to the foggy earth. A telegram dated New York, Nov. 29, says:— " Mr. Boutwell, the Secretary of the Treasury, has ordered the usual sales of gold and purchases of bonds to be continued during December. Gold has fallen 21 per cent., and this movement is principally owing to the large increase of coin in the banks." James 11. Embry, of Kentucky, has declined the appointment of Minister to Ecuador, a post which appears to be going a-begging. People accept it, look into it, and reject it, from which we argue that there is something not particularly inviting inside. Last week we told how Mr. Nunn, of Tennessee, had thrown it up ; this week it is Mr. Embry, of Ken tucky, who it will be next week we do not undertake to say ; but it is much too valuable as a gift in the hands of the Secretary of State lightly to be got rid of. Our readers may not at once perceive what its pecu liar. value is in the hands of Mr. Fish, therefore we ask them to imagine themselves in his place, with a crowd of importunate office-seekers at the' door. Suppose an eager applicant to be admitted, the Secretary quietly to unfold the mission to Quito—the shock, the recoil, the retreat, and the pursuit. Thus the position is reversed, and the Secretary becomes the assailant, running after the hitherto pursuing applicant with the mission to Ecu ador. Indeed he might drive back into the wilds of Tennessee and Kentucky men as obstinate as Andrew Johnson by making a good use of this post. Is it surprising, then, that it has not been filled for four years ? The following consular ap pointments have been made :—Orvin J. Rose, of Illinois, United States Consul at Ancona, Italy ; James It. Wheeler, of Massachusetts, Consul at Kingston, Jamaica, vice Aaron Gregg, suspended ; and John T. Robeson, of Tennessee, Consul at Tangier, Morocco, vice A. Matthews, suspended. The only newspaper telegram from America during the week indicates an invasion by the Jews of what has hitherto been an Irish monopoly. One would suppose to hear an Hibernian orator that the only wrongs ever endured were those in flicted on the Irish, and that the whole foreign diplomacy of the United States ought to consist in a direct interference i❑ the government of the island. Other advocates of the oppressed have, however, turned up at Washington. A delega tion of llebrews visited President Grant lately, and urged him to intercede with the Emperor Alexander on behalf of the persecuted Hebrews in Russia. The President promised to comply with their request. To ascertain the real fall in the value of property the sum must be worked out by the Rule of Three. The Bonds in New York have fallen nearly in the ratio of gold, but they are, in truth, moving up wards in price, as shown by the rise in the European markets. Here is the real value in Wall-street brought into comparison with the English rates, taking currency Exchange at 133.27: United States Five-Twenty Bonds, of 1862, 84.60 ; ditto of 1865, 83.66 ; ditto of 1867, 85.16 ; Ten-Forty Bonds, 80.29 ; Illinois Shares, 99.42 ; and Erie, 20.45. It is no wonder that the Secretary of the Trea sury continues his sale of gold and the purchase of Bonds, as it augments in the Treasury even in the face of the large payments lately made for inte rest on the Bonds, and the sales already com pleted. By the statement for the Ist inst., it ap pears that the gold accumulated in the Treasurer's hands is $105,969,949. The greenbacks amount to $11,802,765. The total debt, less the sum in the Treasury, is $2,453,559,735. The decrease during the month of November is $7,571,454, and the total decrease since the commencement of Grant's Admi aistration is $71,903,424. The value of the bonds pur diased by the Treasury i 5576,902,226. The totaldebt, according to Reuter's telegram, is $2,648,250,000. From this of course there is neither deducted the . - noney in the Treasury on the bonds purchased on account of the Sinking Fund. The most gratifying feature in Grant's administration is the extraordi nary increase in the Internal Revenue. When men asserted that the succession of Andrew Johnson to the Presidential chair cost the United States hun dreds of millions many smiled incredulously ascrib ing the exaggeration to a " liighfaluten" style ; but he present administration is proving anything, it .s proving the truth of this statement. It becomes more and more evident that the set of zhe tide is strongly against the Erie clique. Smart men like them, who regard the world as their oyster, meet with no sympathy from the world if the shell closes on their fingers, and they begin to howl. The necessity of their existence is success, and any lifficulty brings the world on them like a pack of .volves on the track of a wounded brother. It is for this reason we have anticipated the downfall of the clique, since the collapse of the great gold " cor ner." A main step seems to have been accom plished in wresting from their grasp the At lantic and Great Western Railway. Fortunately for the proprietors it was essentially an Ohio in had it been in the State of New York ~hey would have had to await further develop ,neuts. If the Supreme Court of that State issues an injunction, another Court sets it aside ; one orders the Sheriff to act, the other stays pro _Tedings, and all this can be carried on, as the Erie clique have there a judge and a court of their own. In Ohio, however, the question can be tried on its )wn merits, and the failure of the Erie to observe the contract is too clear for mystification; hence the removal of Gould and Fisk, and the substitution for them of Judge llitchcock as receiver. This change has been hailed with satisfaction in Europe, though he particulars are as yet unknown. A strange re port had been circulated in New York that Lane aad written urgently to Jay Gould to proceed at )nee to Acton, or James Fisk, jun., would betray the clique ; that he was in communication with the mercy, and that the band was in danger. If we ,ranted a sign of what is ahead, we could not have i better than in this turning and rending of each other by the conspirators, being as soundings to a sailor. If such clever fellows as Messrs. Gould and Fisk undoubtedly are, should wreck so grand a position as that to which they had attained, it will be one of the most striking instances ever recorded )f the truth of the proverb that " Honesty is the best policy." The Message of such a President as Grant, as sumes a value very different to the Message of an Andrew Johnson, for the simple reason that Grant's is uttered by a man wielding power, whereas a recom mendation by Andrew Johnson lessened the chance of that measure's adoption. It is not then sur prising that many rumours should precede the de livery of so important a Message. It is said that the President recommends the early resumption of specie payment, going against a strong Western party, headed by Senator Morton of Indiana. Whether Grant is a simple or profound statesman, his policy appears closely to resemble that of Mr. Gladstone, and underneath all lies the one word, economy. It is said the Message will earnestly advocate the reduction of the Public Expenditures. Our readers will see in another column a con densed account of a most interesting lecture by Senator Sumner on "Caste." There is no greater distinction than colour, and the feeling of superiority on the part of whites can only be eradicated in the course of generations. No amount of lecturing will do it, but the rise on the part of the negro to a real equality may in time have the effect. That the citizens of the United States are making great strides to conquer their inveterate prejudice is shown by passing events. For instance, a strange scene occurre(l at the French Opera-house at New Orleans a few weeks ago. The theatre was full, the play progressing, when an in stantaneous change occurred. A black gentleman entered a box with his family. There was a time when so inso lent an invader of white rights would have had the thick ness of his skull tested by a bullet, but though numbers at once left their places, the family of colour remained and enjoyed this triumph even in the City of New Orleans. The drawback frauds at the New York Custom house continue to excite the liveliest interest, not only on account of their magnitude, but of the social position of those accused. Deputy-Collector Samuel T. Blatchford was said to have fled to Canada, but there is evidence that he is still in New York, though so effectually con cealed as to baffle the two detectives that have been after him. Next to him in alleged criminality is Francis A. Howard, formerly in the Washington Treasury Depart ment, now a banker in Wall -street. He has been indicted for his offences, and is under $20,000 bail. Charles J. Theriott, who succeeded Blatchford as chief clerk of the Drawback Bureau in the Custom-house, is also indicted and under $lO,OOO bail, while Hugo Somers, who preceded Blatchford in the same position, and is said to have been the first official connected with these frauds, has since died. Next in culpability t o these dishonest officers should be placed the three Caldwells, who made out the fraudulent claims and pocketed two-fifths of the proceeds. James Caldwell is un d er $lO,OOO bail, b u t J o h n S. an d Robert B. have fled to Canada. Next to the Caldwells come William P. Whimster, twice indicted under $20,000 bail, and flying from a third warrant. James T. Wellwood and C. B. Young, are hiding from arrest, Charles It. Squire:4, IL A. Dickinson, George W. Green; and Alexander Grant, jun., indicted and under $lO,OOO bail ; Romeyn Mullig,an and L. L . L a id law, under ba i l i n the same amount; Julius 11. Mott, indicted and fled to California ; William H. Freer, indicted and escaped to Europe ; William J. Korn, indicted and under $lO,OOO bail; and Charles H. Wilson, both of whom have turned State's evidence. There are several others whose cases are under invest'gation, but the evidence against them is not enough to warrant their arrest or the publication of their names. Deputy-Attorney Pierrepont will prosecute to the full extent of the law, and Secretary Boutwell has himself been narrowly inquiring into these frauds, which have been brought as a charge against his and the Presi dent's appointments, although most of them were actually committed by the nominees of Andrew Johnson, and dis covered by the present incumbents. In raising the wreck of the British frigate Augusta some old English relics have been recovered. That vessel joined a small squadron in the year 1777, blockading the Delaware River. Thus, reinforced on the 20th October, the fortifications covering Philadelphia were attacked, but after a long fight the British ships were driven off. The Augusta, however, which was the largest and most unweildy, grounded, whereon the forts poured into her hot shot, which set her on fire, and out of her crow of 300, half perished. She was built of Irish oak, which is said to be still in perfect preservation, and the wreck to remain whole, though only bolted together with the same material. She has been moved up the river as far as Gloucester, and silver spoons and some old guineas taken out of her. The Times pats the United States on the back, And says, "That's a good boy, go in and take San Domingo." Experience has shown Great Britain that it is better to get fertile territories inhabited by Alien races, ruled well by others, than by Great Britain. The benefits of the good government are shared by all commerical nations, the drawbacks fall on the ambitious Power which desire to sway. such is the. pure " cussedness" of human nature that nothing is more calculated to "choke" America " off " annexation than this attitude of Great Britain. Alarm, denunciation, opposition, would Immediately have aroused the feeling that there was a prize within the grasp, and a determination to secure it. Now, however, the Senate will .scan carefully the estimated cost and the probable ad vantages, and it is evident that the feeling of the country does not favour annexation, as it knows it has quite enough to attend to its own affairs with out undertaking to manage those of other people. The holders of San Domingo Bonds naturally re joice at the prospect of turning their comparatively worthless paper into agood deal like:Five-Twenties, and doubtless this has something to do with the shout wafted to Brother Jonathan to go and annex ; but we are glad the Senate are likely effectually to stop these annexations, although we confess to the wish to see Cuba and San Domingo under a firm, stable, and improving Government. General Bab cock and Ingalls have left for San Domingo to aid the negotiations in progress for the annexation. We are informed by a telegram, dated New York, Nov. 27, that Mr. Webster, the counsel for the Spanish Government, has filed a motion to quash the writ of seizure and to dismiss the libel against the Spanish gunboats. Senor Sernus, the Cuban Envoy, has made an application to District Attorney Pierrepont for permission to appear in his official capacity in the suit which has been in stituted against the Spanish gunboats. • M. Freyre, the Peruvian Minister, is the sole prosecutor in the case. A plot has been discovered among the Cuban residents of New York to burn the gun boats. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Silver leave in the Cimbria this day for the United States, where Mr Silver will probably spend the most of his future. In compliance with a request, made some. years since, by the curator of the South Kensington Museum, Mr. Silver has coniributed a number of models representing different modifications of his marine governors, which are now on exhibition there, in a glass case containing models of his works only. A floe portrait of Mr. Silver, a copy from a splendid likeness, painted by Miss Louisa Starr, is also prepared for its place amongst others of different inventors, including that of the late Mr Howe. During the alterations which the Museum buildings aro now undergoing the portraits for merly arranged along the walls of the old buildings are not at present on exhibition, with the exception of that of Mr. Silv , r. which is suspended in the private office of the curator, F. P. Smith, Esq. Particulars of the Red River insurrection have been received both at St. Paul and at Toronto. Governor M'Dougall had advanced to the Com pany's post, two miles over the frontier. Mr. Pro vencher was sent forward to parley with the insur gent; 500 strong, when he was made prisoner, and the Governor beleaguered, but no resistance being attempted, he was on the 2d Nov. escorted back into Dacotah by the insurgents, who are chiefly French. The Governor remains encamped atPembina. The rebels have established a Provisional Government, and they demand a territorial Government with a Legislature chosen by the people ; a Homestead Act, and a fund for school purposes and inter nal improvements. Much indignation has been ex pressed in Canada at the action of these French and half-castes. Though Mr. M'Dougall's family re turned to Canada, he and his Staff will await the Jo Boston a man 69 years of age murdered his wife, who is only nine years younger, in a fit of jealousy. Edmund Healey was married to the woman he murdered much against her will, 36 years ago, in Ireland. Shortly after they proceeded to South Boston, where they occupied the basement of No. 99, Silver-street. They had a son,now 21 years of age, and it was he who gave information to the police. It appears that Healey had complained of the too familiar terms on which his wife was with another man, and he found this man in her company about six weeks before, when he drove him from the house, and, turning to his wife, swore that he would have her lift if he QYOX ought thorn together tig4iu. It asserted that the murder was perpetrated without any un usual noise. The doors were open, and there had evidently been no quarrel nor any boisterous demonstration, but as the son entered he saw his father strike his mother with an axe, and he brought the police to the house. Passing through the grocery to the kitchen they found Mrs. Healey lying upon the floor in a pool of blood, and the furniture and walls also bespattered. The woman's head had been literally smashed to pieces, and from the ghastly wounds the brains had run to the floor, and mingled with the life blood of the victim. Near the body lay the instrument with which the deed had been perpetrated, a common, long-handled axe. The murderer had washed his hands, cleaned his clothing, and at this time was very coolly waiting on customers in the grocery in front, as calm and collected as a man could be under the most favourable cir cumstances. S. B. Howes, formerly !Toprietor of Howes and Cushing's American Circus, which ho transported from America to England, in 1857, and met with such great success at the Alhambra Pnlace,London, under the patron age of the Queen, and who was fortunate enough about that time to invest the proceeds of his English speculation in Chicago Real Estate, is now supposed to be the wealthiest individual ever engaged in the equestrian profession. The value of his property at the present time is said to be up wards of a million dollars. He is now residing at Upper Norwood, near London. The case against General Thomas Ewing, brought by ex-Mayor Anthony, of Leavenworth, Kansas, has failed, the verdict of the jury being for the defendant. The action was for $20,000 damages for false arrest dur ing the war. Anthony was then Mayor of Leavenworth, and ho was seized and carried to Missouri, and there dis charged by Cleneral Ewing. Another case arising out of proceedings during the war is thus announced : —Gen. Benjamin F. Butler has been sued in the Superior Court of New York, by Miss Rowena Florence of New Orleans, niece of the late Gen. Twiggs, for the recovery of the value of spoons and other silver ware and table furni niture, appropriated by Butler, while in command of New Orleans in the spring of 1862, together with three splendid swords presented to Gen. Twiggs by the United States Government and the States of Texas and Georgia. Miss Florence lays her damages at $37,000, and Judge Jones granted an order of arrest on Tuesday against Butler, fixing the amount of bail at $15,000. Senator Edwards, of Vermont, has just arrived at Washington, Senator Ramsay, of Minnesota, reached New York, Nov. 18, from Europe by the Hammonia ; ho is believed to carry with him the Postal Treaty he went to negotiate with the French Government. General Meade has lately arrived at Philadelphia, and Father Hyacinthe, after spending a few hours at Hartford, proceeded to Boston, where the mail left him. The Chinese Embassy was received at Berlin in an official audience by the King on Thursday afternoon. Mr. Burlingame presented his credentials, and most friendly sentiments wore exchanged between King William and Mr. Burlingame, in the name of the Emperor of China. THE PROPOSED UNIVERSAL EXPOSITION IN WASHINGTON, 1871.—We are advised that most active steps aro being taken to carry oat the project of this national enterprise in a thorough and most comprehensive manner. A large mays meeting has been held in Washing ton, attended by many prominent citizens, where the pro position was adopted with great unanimity and enthu siasm. At this a committee of one hundred was ap pointed to prepare a plan of operations. This committee has been divided into sub-committees composed of prac tical men, each undertaking certain appropriate duties. A. Charter of Incorporation has been drawn up, and will be presented to Congress at its first meeting. Tho chair man of the Executive Committee is Gen. 0. 0. Howard, whose name is sufficient evidence of energy and ability. Great interest has boon expressed by the President, the Cabinet, and all Government officials, and every facility offered by the various departments. There can be no question but that the results of such an exposition would be of incalculable service to the country, both finan cially and commercially, and it would certainly have the effect of turning towards the United States a largo cur rent of travel, and also a large class of foreign exhi bitors anxious to secure an opening up of business with the - United States. Enthusiasm on this subject continues to increase, and its success is assured. The sum of $150,000 has already been subscribed by the citizens of Washing ton, and large sums are promised. Among the subscribers aro William A. Corcoran, $20,000 ; Matthew Emery, $10,000; Henry D. Cooke, $20,000; Alexander R. Shep pard, $lO,OOO ; Arch() Polls, $5,000 ; J. A. Thompson, $3,000; Matthew W.Gault, $5,000; Philip Mobilo, $5,000; Fitzhugh Coyle, $5,000 ; Mr. T. D. Gilman, $5,000 ; James G. Davis, $5,000; William B. Todd, $5,000; G. W. Metzerott, $5,000 ; Metropolitan Railroad Company, $5,000; Washington Gaslight Company, .$10,000; Gen. 0. O. Hcward, $5,000 ; Geo. W. Riggs, $5,000 ; Willard's Hotel, $5,000. Three soldiers hunting near Fort Fetterman, in Wyoming Territory, were attacked by 60 Sioux of Red Clown's band, and one only escaped, being an old hunter accustomed to Indian warfare. A troop was sent in pur suit, but failed to overtake the Indians. The bodies of the two soldiers were recovered, but were neither scalped nor mutilated. Indeed, the Indians left the guns, ammu nition, and equipments, only taking the horses. John Richard, late Indian trader at Fort Fetterman, is reported to have led the band. He had murdered a soldier and escaped to the Indians, whom he informed that the whites intend to deny food and ammunition to the Red men till they are exhausted, and then to massacre all on the plains. He is represented as intelligent, energetic, and brave, therefore dangerous as the leader of a war party. Go vernor Campbell is confident that the Sioux mean mis chief. The Cherokee Indians have organised their legis lature, electing A. S. Scraper President of the Senate, and "Stand Whirlwind" Speaker of the Council. Much busi ness is said to be before the Council, and among the im portant Acts are those socuring tho rights of citizens as well as the rights of property. These Indians are prosper ous, and daily becoming more united as the old feuds die out. Another violent gale has burst over Canada and the Northern States. On Lake Erie several vessels hive been lost, so also on Lake Ontario. At Buffalo the water in the harbour rose more than two feet, and the waves broke furiously over the breakwater, carrying a portion of it away. The storm extended over the New England States, where much damage was done. At Shiloh a freight oar was driven by the wind from the side track, and blown six miles down the road, when the express train ran into it, dangerously wounding both the engineer and the fire man, and wrecking the engine and two baggage cars. In Philadelphia the wall of the Patterson warehouse, lately destroyed by fire, was thrown by the strength of the tempest upon the roof of a store, destroying the building, but fortunately it was unoccupied. Much property was also damaged in Baltimore. William Cornell Jewett has arrived at Washing ton trom Europe. He has obtained from the King of the Netherlands a concession to land and use on Holland soil an ocean cable from New York. Mr. Jewett intends bringing the subject before the President. Another line for Ger many has boon secured through the Gorman American Telegraph Company, who have obtained a concession from the North German Confederation to forward all naes rages from North Germany, not otherwise expressly di rected. A three-wire cable is to be laid from North Ger many to Lowestoft, two conductors to be used for German- English messages, and the third exclusively for Gorman- American messages. This third wire is to be connected with ono of the Anglo-American wires from Telegraph street to the United States, which is agreed to be appro priated, but not exclusively, for the transmission of Ger man- American correspondence. The messages will he sent in the order of reception at the terminal and inter mediate stations as required bp the International Tele graph Convention. The Anglo-American and Newfound land Companies are to give a rebate to the German Com pany on messages passing through the new cable and the Atlantic lines, but the chief source of revenue of the new company is expected to be the German-English traffic, which has increased enormously of late years. A hundred thousand thalors, caution money, have been deposited, and the necessary arrangements aro being made. The Nation lately remarked that there was no part of the Saturday Review worse than its reviews of Ame rican books, in which it is singularly weak. We see in one of these reviews that it has added Montana to the States of the Union. After it has constructed a State out of Alaska, the territory of the Republic will be constructed, and it may then sit down and contemplate its work with sa tisfaction. It is evident that the Saturday Review does not know the c:ifference between a Territory and a State ; but it would be ready enough to sneer at the ignorance o f an Americ an w h o made blunders as gross in discuss ing Europe. The Standard is often very queer in its geo graphy, but then we aro all liable to error, and places may be wholly beneath the notice of the old dame en throned in Shoe-lane. Nevertheless sbe is not above an article extending over more than a column and a half of tho biggest newspaper in the world about such paltry places as New Zealand and Australia. In giving vent to her feel ings on the ti es o f b rot h erhood existing between these colo nies, while assorting the duty of supporting the colony to be is with the moth er country, she says—" There is no connec tion between New Zealand and Auckland, nor is Australia re sponsible for any share in the New Zealand Government." Considerin g th a t A uc k land is the chief city of New Zea land, the sentence is remarkable. Probably the dame meant Sydney, but did not think it worth altering , m wr a i n t t ( e i n i s there a Auckland. pin's Are head to theyno chooset both betweenat th the o Antipodesto? t is true they are some t we l ve h undred miles apart, but dis tance,in those parts, is nothing. An Englishman r ea li zes the distance bet ween L ondon and Rome,' or London and St. Petersburgh, but he never quite comprehends whe ther his friend is in Calcutta or Kurachee, in Hong Kong oror w.SehsatenrgohaAi,osituraAliau, in Auckland ororOtago, in Now o inQueen rl s o l a a ri n , d ,, New York, or San Francisco. General Adam Badeau, Assistant-Secretary of the United States Legation in London, will, wo learn, spend most of the winter in Washington in completing his Life of General Grant. The MSS. which form the second and concluding volume are well advanced, and will be published by Messrs. Appleton, of New York. General Badeau be foz@ the war wrote for the NOW 'Yea press, and was the author of " The Vagabond " papers. The first volume of the Life of General Grant was favourably received by the English press; and, considering General Badeau's in timate acquaintance with the President, on whose staff he was throughout the war, being always at his side, and whose character he knows perhaps better than Grant does himself, the work cannot fail to be of interest. As far as personal experience goes, but one man could have known the circumstances of the President's career during the war better, and he, Gen. Rawlings, is dead. Among the interesting reports is that of General Howard, Commissioner of the Freedman's Bureau. He has reduced the establishment since last year in this de. gree :—Then there were on duty in the Bureau 141 com missioned officers, 412 civilian agents, and 348 clerks; now there aro but 15 officers, 71 agents, and 72 clerks• Then clothing and rations were issued to the destitute, costing on an average $93,700 per month ; now no such supplies aro issued, except to the sick in hospital. Then there were 21 hospitals, 48 dispensaries, 85 surgeons, and 5,400 patients ; now there are but 2 hospitals, no dispen saries, 5 . surgeons, and 511 patients. Then transporta tion and stores wore furnished at a cost of $24,840 per month ; now no transportation orders are given. Beyond this there can be no reduction. The destitute, mostly women and children, had been relieved at a cost of $252,547, but the masses are self-supporting, and many doing a lucrative business, indeed the officers give as en couraging report of the progress of the Freedmen. Ac cording to the details wo last week published from official returns there are 2,118 schools, 2,455 teachers, and 114,522 pupils within the jurisdiction of the Bureau. Gen. Howard thinks that the educational works of theßureau must be:con tinued in the interests of the country until the free school system is established in all the Southern States. It is all the more incumbent to help the Freedmen, as they show a decided inclination towards helping themselves, having raised and expended on school purposes alone $2007000. Tho Bureau, in all, has spent $13,029,816, and it has done a most useful work in aiding the negroes during a transi tion period of great difficulty. The question was whether they should sink into something worse than the negroes of Jamaica, or should be assisted into the path of improve ment, by which they might fit themselves for the duties of citizenship. Gen. Howard advises Congress to estab lish free schools throughout the South, in case the States do not furnish them at an early day, which he thinks Congress should then undertake, as a duty to the nation and on the plea of self-preservation. A question of interest to foreigners is being tried in the Court of Claims at Washington. Congress, in 1868, passed a law intended to modify another, which, when originally drawn, was designed to prevent English men from bringing suits against the United States Govern ment, as the law of England did not permit such suits to be brought byAmericans against the English Crown. The first Act was so broad as to prohibit the adjudication on any fo reigner' claims by American Courts, and the modification included a provision of reciprocity. The present case is brought by a Frenchman named Dauphine, to recover the proceeds of 100 bales of his cotton, seized and sold by the Government during the war. His solicitor had first to show that France permitted such suits to be brought against its Government by foreigners, which he asserted it did, on security for costs being furnished, unless the suitor was in possession of property suNtient for the pur pose in France. On the decision in this case depends forty-three others, involving millions of dollars, so that it will bo watched with interest. The National Land Company, according to intel ligence from St. Louis, appears to be doing a good and a prosperous work, and we recommend Emigration Societies in England to get into communication with it. The sales of land - for the last year were mostly along the Kansas Pacific Railroad, where 147,581 acres yielded $521,32L Of this tract 33,000 acres were bought by a colony composed of English families, numbering 1,200, who have founded the village of Wakefield in Kansas, near the Pacific Railroad of that State. An Agricultural College and school have on the land been established by them to receive and educate orphan boys from the London S , thool and Farm, which the intelligence from St. Louis says is fostered and controlled by the Reform Society of Loudon, Lord Shaftesbury being the President. By an expenditure of sixpence a family in London might address the president , of this college, or any settler in Wakefield, and ask for information from the spot. There is a bias in every account, either for or against, dictated by prejudice or interest, but intending emigrants must learn to form their own conclusions from all the information they can gather. We intend, as we have elsewhere announced, to include Kansas in the short series of articles we now intend to print, of which the first appears in our present issue, and henceforth we will devote a greater portion of our space to information which may be useful to emigrants. The steam communication lately opened between New York and Copenhagen has had the effect of largely increasing Scandinavian emigration to the United States. In 1868 tho members were 5,600 ; in 1869 there were 9,51 a, of whom over 5,500 were Swede; over 3,000 were Danes, and upwards of 700 were from other localities. The National Land Company located along the Kansas Pacific Railroad during the year 3,000 Swedish, Nor wegian, and Danish immigrants, buyers, and settlers, in addition to a large number of actual settlers from other count ies. Particulars of the terrible accident near San Fran cisco on the Western Pacific Railroad have been received. The eastern bound train, of eight cars, one a sleeping car, came into collision with the Alameda Ferry train of four cars close to San Leandro, both going at about 20 miles an hour. Upon arriving at the switch where the Western Pacific connects with the Alameda Road, the train slowed, and the switch-tender being questioned whether the Ala meda train had passed, answered, "Ail right, go ahead." The country is a plain, on which the trains can be seen far off, but the morning was foggy. The Western train had left punctually, but it may have been delayed by the fog, for the station-master is asserted to have said that, as it was behind time, he would not wait for it, and to have gone into the house for breakfast. While inside a gravel train passed which he supposed was the Alameda train ; hence, when the Western Pacific train came up, the station mas ter replied to the engineer who asked if the train had passed, that it was "All right, go ahead." Another account ascribes the accident to negligence on the part of the switch tender at the connection, but to whoever the blame is attributable almost immediately after the Western Pacific train had run on the collision occurred, the engines being smashed and the cars telescoped, except the sleeping car, wherein the passengers escaped unhurt. Most of the killed and wounded were in the Western Pacific train, which presented a shocking sight, the wounded being crushed betwean the cars as they shut up into each other. One man had his legs amputated before he could be released. The names of the killed aro—Alexander W. Baldwin, United States District Judge of Nevada, Virginia City ; Edward Anderson, engineer of Western Pacific train ; WDonald, roadmaster of the California Pacific Railroad ; Mr. Boulet, Principal of the Young Ladies' Seminary at Oakland; Charles Martin, fireman of Alameda train; Geo. Thompson, fireman of the Western Pacific train ; David Ward, merchant, of San Francisco ; James Connolly, of Carroll Station ; Max Ehrman, merchant, of San Jose ; man supposed to be B. H. Fox, from papers found on his body ; Robert Oven, conductor on the Alameda train ; 11. Peterson, of Corral Hollow ; F. B. Milliken, brakeman on Western Pacific Road ; C. T. Owen, an unknown man ; and it-is feared that the wounded will exceed twenty. The coroner's jury, after taking evidence, adjourned, but the testimony of the switch tender at Simpson's station re vealed hint to be entirely ignorant of his duties. Al though having a time. table, he could neither read nor write, and did not know which train had the right to the track. The following information is extracted from the letter of a Washington correspondent: -" Capt. Walter S. Long, 40th Infantry, appoin ted from Maryland, has boon die missed from the army for embezzlement and conduct un becoming an officer and a gentleman, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment unless the amount embezzled is re turned." We supposed that law, whether military or civil, was intended for the suppression of crime; that punish ment was not dictated by revenge nor influenced by resti tution, but was regarded simply in the light of a deterrent. Here, however, the correspondent would lead us to believe that the Government made that sort of agreement with the officer who had robbed it which an indi vidual not very strict might with the thief who had stolen the watch that he earnestly desired to recover. "If you will give it me back, 1 will let you go, and say nothing more about it." If army officers are allowed to steal, and keep the plunder when undetected, with the more proviso that they return the money if the theft is discovered, stealing will become a most attractive calling. An American papers vs that Francis Clare Ford, First Secretary of the British Legation in Washington, is writing an exhaustive work on the labour movement in England and the United States, which he is preparing by order of his Government. The work will be published about the Ist of January. Much information has lately appeared in the London Spectator on labour in the United States, being the views of English workmen who have visited the Republic. Another series has been commenced from one of the skilled labourers recently sent to the Cor nell University at Ithaca from England. Last Wednesday, General Samuel F. and Mrs. Cary, of Cincinnati, Ohio, received a dejeuner at the Gresham Hotel, Dublin, from the Executive Committee of the Irish Permissive Bill Association. General Cary, in responding to the resolution of cordial welcome, after paying a compliment to the Irish in America,explained how the Maine Liquor Law worked there, how the constitution of his own State, Ohio, forbad license laws, and how all ministers of every denomination, and all local authorities were on their side against the grog shops. After addressing himself eloquently and earnestly to this subje c t, h e pointed out the groat injury drink had done the Irish in America, and concluded by thanking the large and influential meeting, consisting of upwards of 80 ladies and gentle men, who had accorded to him and his wife so cordial a greeting. Vincent Colyer has arrived at San Franciso with a petition to President Grant, signed by 40 prominent citizens of Victoria, asking that British Columbia be an. nexed to the United States. LITERARY.—.Viscount Amberley is the author of the ej tides, the second 0 which hae appeArecl in the Art nightly Review for the present month, on the " Latter-DAY S aints," which we will hereafter f ully discuss.—A correspon dent of the Cleveland Herald gives an interesting accou nt, which we have not space this week to enlarge upon, of the cave dwellers in Arizona, and the ruins of an extinct ty ar race shown in Montezuma Well, which he visited wi th a p from Cape Verde of that Territory.—ln the. Chicago Tribune there is also an article of much interest to archa3ologis.ts, .describing the discoveries lately made near Chicago, it believes will add much towards the solution of problem!, connected with the earliest inhabitants of North Araerica• These discoveries arose from an investigation of the mounds, which have lately been exciting more interest than ever. The remains of 20 human beings have been which dug out, two skeletons being almost entire.—The head of the New Fork Times' editorial staff is now Mr. Geo. Shep herd, formerly of St. Louis, and his chief assistants are Louis Jennings, late of the London Times, and husband of Miss Henriques, the actress, George Pond, formerly of the Army and Navy Journal, and Henry Sedley, formerly of the Round Table. Mr. Jones, the publisher, acts as courts of appeals, and the paper is certainly running very well under i:s now regime. ELECTION NEWS.—the Tribune gives the follow ing as the approximate results of the New York State elections :—" On Secretary of State and Controller we have returns from all the counties of the State excePt Essex, Fultou, Jefferson, Otsego, Stouben, and Ulster, showing a majority for Nelson over Sigel of 22,5 the ; Allen over Greeley, 25,560. The majority against Constitution, with Greene, Hamilton, Kings, N ew Yorl'i and Tioga to be heard from, is 11,296. We ha ve h o pe, that the Judiciary Article of the New Con stitution has been carried; fifty-five counties g ive a maj ority' in its favour of 41,491. The counties to be heard Item are Essex, Greene, Kings, New York, and Tioga- Unless counted out in this city and Brooklyn, wo think the Article has been saved. E q ual taxation and equal suffrage have been beaten." From Montgomery we learn that the Alabama Legislature has ratified the Fifteenth Arnett ment to the National Constitution. The vote in the Seeaw was-yeas, 24; nays, none; in the House—yeas, ; 16. The Lower Branch of the Tennessee Legislature have, however, refused to ratify the Fifteenth Amendment by 57 . to 12.—The Springfield Republican says: lion of the Alabama Legislature, ratifying the fift eee „ t t amendment, there are now twenty-two ratifying and sh i t . ," half a dozen rejecting States. Six more States are nee d ' s ' to secure the amendment, and it is probable that In Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Rhode Island,and Tea ll will reject it. Tennessee will reject it, and so perhaps "" ny the ; Ohio, though it is hoped the Republicans will be 0 0°1 1 enough there to set aside the vote of last year and acce pt the amendment. Possibly Georgia may think better of 1 and do the same; but Delaware,Maryland, NewJerseY,le, tacky, California, and Oregon must be counted again st i 6 .., Returns from all the counties but two in Wisconsin sh. that Governor Fairchild's majority is 9,000.

(From the Anglo-American Tina, s.) turn of events at Fort Garry, where many of the late employes of the company are opposed to the rebels, as are the Scotch and English settlers. There is a rumour that the Governor intends to apply to the Canadian Government for troops to put down the insurgents, and to Washington for permission to move the troops through the North-Western States. A Chicago despatch says :—" The cause of the uprising is opposition to being annexed to the Canadian Confederation under the New Domi nion, and a determination on the part of the people of the British Red River Settlement that they shall be allowed to remain independent of the British colony, and subject only to the Government of England. The affair will probably result in war and bloodshed before it is ended." The Red River Settlement consists of 15,000 to 20,000 inhabitants, not counting the Indians. They are well armed, an d s kill e d in the use of the rifle. Their assertion is that, though only 500 men arc under arms, all favour the cause, as the transfer has been made without reference to them. Governor M'Dougall received a courteous letter from the Chippewa In dians, asking him to remain for a few days near the fort of the Hudson's Bay Company, till they could learn what this transfer of their territory meant.
