SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC, SOIIPZTALS, The Times finds reason for satisfaction in the action of the Canadian Parliament at a moment when our relations with the United States are clouded with doubt and uncertainty. We do not know whether Mr. Motley will be instructed to present a claim in accordance with the senator's harangue ; we cannot tell what may be the course he will be directed to pursue when the British Government shall have declined to entertain the conside ration of such a claim should it be presented. Under such circumstances ive receive with satisfaction intelligence of the attitude spontaneously assumed by the popular chamber of the Canadian Domi nion. The House of Commons of the Confederated Provinces reflects, in vigour, in independence, in self-reliant courage, the best characteristics of the House of Commons of England. At a crisis upon the result of which the material interests of its constituents depend to a degree sufficient, as all will confess, to check any sug gestion of boastfulness, one of its members has come for ward to vindicate the position of the Dominion and to assert, amid the cheers of his colleagues, their resolution to share with the mother country the fortunes, the trial!, and the chances of the future. The Dominion is, in truth, no dependency of England. It occupies the position of an elder son emancipated from parental control, and swayed only by the ties of family feeling. Mr. Motley may gather from the spontaneous action of Canada the judgment of England. If he comes on an errand of con ciliation and peace he will be received in a like spirit. If his message be a repetition of Mr. Sumner's extravagances he must expect that it will be firmly rejected. The Telegraph deelares that the case of the Canadians, and our own case, are substantially the same ; and on the same principles must they be judged. Are the Americans willing that our claims against them should be submitted to arbitration? Are the English willing that the American claims against them, although heavier in amount, should be submitted to the same tribunal? In both cases the answer is heartily " Yes." But here begins the difficulty. Suppose Great Britain to say, "We shall not be satisfied with mere payment of damages. We affirm that the tolerance which you shewed to the Fenian conspirators was an offence against international comity. You say that you acted in good faith. Are you prepared to submit that point to the judgment of a third Power ?" Why, from one end of the Union to the other, .the answer would be an indignant "No ; not that point ; our good faith and honour are matters which we absolutely refuse to refer to arbitration." Even so. Nor can we in England go one step further. For no other nation in the world would we have gone so far. Be the consequences what they may, ,England must say, in the grand old words of Luther, " Here stand I ; I can no otherwise ; God be my help The sooner this is universally undeistood the better ; for the only real danger is that the demands may be pu2hed so far, and in such a fashion, as to render America unable to recede with dignity. The result is not entirely in the hands of either country ; but now, if ever, is the time when the honest men of both nations should unite in the endeavour to bring the question to a peaceful issue. The Star is indignant with the Americans for the tone which they are adopting towards this country, and asks if the preponderance of what is called educated opinion here was in favour of the slave power, was it not the same in the United States for years and years before the war? It was the Northern States them selves which produced the assassin that smote the noble Lincoln in the midst of his usefulness. The very last political contest fought with great desperation before this lamentable event was to determine whether the North should not themselves recognise the Confederacy and give up the struggle. With all these things hap pening in their own midst, it is absurd that foreign nations—and especially England and her colonies—should be expected to have had nothing but one opinion upon a war, capable of being so variously regarded even by loyal subjects of the Republic. Mr. Galt has done well to bring before the people of the United States, in a temperate and conciliatory manner, the other side of the picture, just to remind our neigh bours that they are not so perfect in the matter of inter national duties as they would have us believe, that their citizens are not all so completely law-abiding and docile, and that the Government has even less command over a portion of its subjects than the English Ministry had over the shipbuilders and sympathisers who have caused so much mischief and embittered feeling in both countries. The Standard says that the House of Commons has been engaged upon a subject -which has for years past been forcing itself into exceptional prominence. Recently it has grown into a question of the first magnitude. It is the aspect and treatment of our pauper classes in all their varieties—the infant, the aged, sick, and infirm, the , able-bodied, and that dangerous multitude of tramps which combines the pursuits of professional mendicancy with those of habitual crime. Pauperism gravitates out of the country into the towns—not driven thither by land pressure, but attracted by the hope of chalice relief and the loose administration of public charity. While agri cultural employment has steadily fallen off during ten years having remained stationary only in six, risen only in six, and fallen off in thirty—casual opportunities for the poor are very rare in the rural districts, and the consequence is a congestion in the towns. Monday's discussion, although it was never expected to result in more than an elucidation of opinions, pointed towards a view which, though vague as yet, may be nearer to our minds than we imagine ; that relief should be granted to evident destitution when and wherever it appears ; that all charity should be public and systematic; that the law of settlement must be restricted within the narrowest limits; that open and professed vagrancy is criminal; that a workhouse full of children is a scandal and a shame in a civilised community ; that we are wasting millions upon a benevolence, or, if so w e choose to call it, an economy productive of nothing except an inheritance of beggary ; and that while the poor do not benefit as they might, by our laws, we endure their burden without any benefit whatever, unless we deem it a benefit to have thirty thousand tramps perpetually terrorising on the Queen's highway. The Post refers to the great underlying question of Pauperism, and thinks it is highly desirablethat by lookine at this, our great national difficulty, boldly, we should gain some idea of its extent and meaning. More than this it seems at present almost hopeless to expect, for, with all the remedies that have been applied or proposed, the canker still spreads, and eats more deeply into the healthy productive powers of the country ; and the further we go the more helpless do we seem to become in the matter. There have been suggested over and over again some heroic remedies for pauperism, which might possibly be effectual, but which are all accompanied by difficulties hitherto found to be insuperable. The scheme of a vast system of public w or k s i s f alse in principle, and unnecessary besides, for there are private works, and to spare, which would easily absorb all the labour-power the paupers have to give. The same may be said of the waste-lands reclamation scheme. The plan of emigration is the best of all, but there are two difficulties in the way of its realisation—the first, that the paupers will not emi grate ; the second, that the colonies will not have them if they would. It is to be feared that we shall at last be left to our own resources, and in using these the first prin ciple to be observed is this, that we should seek to dis tinguish strictly between those who can and those who cannot work. To the latter a generous aid should be given ; to the former a choice between work for aid and no aid at all. The recent judgment of Sir Travers Twiss in the case of the rector of St. Mary-le-Strand and his parishioners, suggests to the Times a practical inquiry. When we see an opinionated clergyman thus restrained by law from overriding his parishioners we are inclined to ask why such a power of restraint cannot be further extended? Why should it not be a rule that no clergyman should introduce changes in the mode of conducting Divine service in his church without the express assent of his parishioners both parties having the right to appeal to the diocesan in the event of a dispute ? People have a right to expect that their customary habits of worship shall not be altered without their consent, and we do not see why the clergy should not be restrained in respect to the cere monial of their church as well as to its stricture and fittings. Such a suggestion may appear the more reason able at the present moment, when some recent cases have sliewn with what jealousy the law protects the rights of the clergyman in matters of doctrine, which arc his peculiar province. Putting apart the aliases of the courts, we do not grudge the clergy this protection. But we should like to see a corresponding protection given to tl.e laity. To combine these two securities should be the great aim of Church discipline. In the Roman Catholic Church the priesthood exercises an ur controlled tyranny. In the voluntary communions the power of the laity is often still more tyrannical. The Church of England, amid many shortcomings, has contrived in a great degree to secure the liberties alike of clergy and of laity. Mr. Bennett, for instance, on the one side, and the parishioners of St. Mary-le-Strand on the other, are protected by the law of the English Establishment. But the protection afforded to the laity might with .advantage be extended, and we think this case indicates that the method of such an extension is already provided.

In the case of "Letts v. Carttar," before Mr. Baron Channell and a common jury, in the Court of Exchequer, the well-known publisher of " Letts's Diaries," carrying on business at the Royal Exchange and New cross, sued the defendant, a solicitor at Greenwich, and coroner for Kent, to recover £ll2 4s. 4d., being the balance of an account for printing and stationery in con nection with the candidatures of Viscount Mahon and Sir Henry Parker for Greenwich at the last election. The only question was whether the debt was incurred by Mr. Carttar personally, or as agent for the Central Conservative Committee for conducting the election. In the course of the trial it transpfied that Lord Mahon had offered to pay the money, but refuse,d to pay the costs. Mr. Baron,Channell said as the case was by no means free from doubt, and as he was not sure that he ought not to nonsuit the plaintiff, he thought the plaintiff would be wise if he accepted that offer. Mr. Seymoursaid his client thought that the defendant ought to pay half the costs. Mr. Baron Channel : " I cannot ask the defendant to do that." Ultimately a cheque for £ll2 4s. 4d. was handed over to the plaintiff in satisfaction of his claim, and the jury by consent were discharged. THE CHIEF CONSTABLE OF BIRKEN.- HEAD CHARGED WITH FORGERY. On Monday, at the Mansion House, Major Frederick Beswick, the chief constable of Birkenhead, was brought before the Lord Mayor on a warrant, in custody of Detec tive-sergeant Webb, charged at the instance of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England with forging and uttering on the 24th February last a power of attorney to transfer a share and interest in stock then transferable at the Bank of England, to the amount of £4,216 13s. 4d., Three per Cent. Consols, standing in the names of Henry Thomas Maxted and Frederick Beswick in the Bank books with intent to defraud. _ . . It appeared that the stock was a trust fund left by a Miss Condy, of Gibraltar, and in the month of March last the prisoner obtained a power of attorney for the transfer of a portion of it, which purported to be signed by himself and Mr. Maxted, who resides at Gib raltar, but on the usual notices being sent out by the Bank a correspondence took place with Maxted which resulted in the apprehension of the prisoner on Saturday. Some preliminary evidence having been given the prisoner was remanded. Bail was refused. FEARFUL RAILWAY CATA.STROPIIE. The New Yen; Tribune reports a terrible railway calamity which recently occurred on the Long Island Railway. The regular 10.30 a.m. passenger train for Northport left Hunter's Point in time, with a train of three cars, two passenger cars, one baggage and smoking car, drawn by the locomotive " Thurlow Weed," and carrying about 100 persons, between twenty and thirty of them being in the rear car. When a mile and a half beyond Jamaica, at about fifteen minutes past eleven, a sudden jar was felt, followed by a crash like the sound of a cannon, and the startled conductor stopped the train as speedily as possible. The engine and baggage-car were unharmed. The hind truck of the second car was off the track, but no one in it was injured, and the car itself sustained very little damage. But the third car was thrown from the track by the broken rail to which the catastrophe is attributed, and the forward truck was in some unaccount able way broken off, and tipped up in such a manner as to lodge between the track and the floor above it. Instead of being stopped by this obstacle the car rushed on, and the iron wheels tore through the floor, breaking it to splinters and ripping the seats from their fastenings, and finally knocking ofi the hind truck, dropping the car on the track. If the coupling had only broken at this instant the accident would not have been SO terrible, but the link held with fatal tenacity, and for at least fifty yards further the bottomless cage bounded along, grinding the miserable passengers beneath its cruel edges, and strewing the horrible mass of blood stained rubbish and writhing humanity along the track, so that when it finally stopped it was entirely empty, only excepting one wretched woman, who lay half under it. Four men, one woman, and an infant were killed.almost instantly. Thirteen persons were also more or less severely injured —one or two, it is thought, fatally. LAW AX]) POLICE .-~_. itiaLwAy LtractAor..-In the Court of Queen's Bench, on Monday, a discussion of some importance to railway travellers was raised on a County Court appeal. The queztion was whether a rocking-horse, 44 inches long, and weighing 781 h., could be considered as the personal luggage of a railway traveller. An animated debate ensued, and Justice Hanncn said that the defini tion of luggage in the dictionary was, "anythingcuntbrous and difficult to carry," which definition applied here. The counsel for the company said he had known cases in which passengers had insisted on carrying a barrel of beer or a sack of potatoes. Numerous cases were put in the course of the argument ; the case of a gentleman carrying home a salmon or a barrel of oysters for dinner, or a . hamper of wine for his cellar, or a case of booksfor reading in the train, and so forth. Mr. Justice Hannen suggested that the - rule night, perhaps, be laid down thus—that the passenger was entitled to have anything which passengers usually or generally required fur their personal use or accommodation on a journey, which would include a bath or bathing-tin, but exclude a rocking horse or cradle. The court gave judgment for the company, though they were not prepared to hold that luggage must be strictly limited to articles of personal use. They thought, however, that it might be held to apply to all articles usually carried by passengers, a definition which excluded the rocking-horse. PI3I3LICANS AND IDE rOLICE.—On Monday the land lord of a public-house at Cheshuut, llerts, was summoned for - knowingly harbouring the police. It was stated that a ccnstable on duty in the neighbourhood went into the defendant's house a few minutes before eleven at night, and called for a pint of beer, which Ile drank, and left the house. The constable admitted that he had done so, but said he was not more than five minutes in the house, a statement that was confirmed by wit nesses. The chairman doubted whether a licensed victualler had any right to serve a constable on duty, but the solicitor for the defendant argued that the constable might have to explain his conduct to the authorities at Scotland-yard, and that the licensed victualler could not refuse to serve any person that might present himself. After some discussion, the chairman said the point was a knotty one, and the bench dismissed the case. HIRING A PIANO. —On Monday, in the second Court of Queen's Bench, an action was brought by Cramer and Co., Regent-street, to recover the value of a piano from Mr. Mott. in February of last year, a gentleman named Wynne came to lodge with defendant, and brought with him a piano, which he had hired of the plaintiff on the three years' system. Last November Wynne made default in his payment for the piano, ant some time after the plaintiff sent to the defendant's house for the piano. He refused to part with it until the rent was paid. The defendants shortly after sold the instru ment to recover their rent. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. REPORTERS AND BOARDS OF GUARDIANS.—At the last meeting of the Newport (Wales) Board of Guar dians, Colonel Lyne moved a resolution to the effect that the representatives of the press be admitted to the meet ings of the hoard. This was opposed by several speakers. One—the Rev. Chancellor Williams—" considered it would be detrimental to the interests of the board if the press were admitted ;" another gentleman felt assured that if the board passed the motion Lord Tredegar would resign his seat as president. This threat was warmly taken up by those members who were in favour of reporters being admitted, it being contended that it had nothing to do with the real queition at issue. Ultimately the motion was carried by the narrow majority of one. Through a technicality, a second division was called for, when the motion was again carried by the same majority. We, Pall Nall Gazette, are infomed that wi'hin the past few days the Director-General of the Army Mecteal Department has addresad a communication to the vari ous medical officers in charge of distrie s and invaiding depots calling for an official statement of any cgt , es of "cupping" that have come under their Lotic.'. If the Secretary of State is really anxious to get at the truth,' would it not Le as well to call fo: independent testimony on the subject from o:deers and men ? It is hardly to be ex pected that the medical officers who have lent themselves to this disgraceful practice will come forward to confess-it. From what we hear ran,wers a: e being Loccuetel to the of finial interrogatories of a vague, evasive kind, in!ended to m:Jead. Mr. James:Mellor, epirit rectifier, of Hunter street, Liverpool, was summoned before the borough magistrates on Saturd►y, charged by tbe Excise authorit:es with having on his premises 81gallons of spirits in excess of the quantity debited to him. It appeared fron► the statement 4Y Alr. Tyndall, who prosecuted, that the defendant had paid the penality on four previous occasions to the Excise, who now thought it high time that the matter sliotll bu brought before the public. 'The explanation was that the ex cess was accidental and: undiscovered, and that varia tions in the . quantity of stock were ucavoilall., they being frequently against the distiller,' Rho neve' time less was required to pay duty on the larger quantity. The bunch, having no lower to mitigate the penalty, fined Mr. Mellor £B4, being 20s. per gallon for every gallon in excess, the spirit-t being also forft ited to the Crown. 'TUE SUN, LONDON, IVESDAV EVENISG, MAY ll, 1869. " SPORT." MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. What will the Macaulay of the 21st century say of. the sports of the 19th ? Surely the bear-baiting and the cock-fighting 0f , 200 years ago were not so de grading as is the pigeon-shooting in which our young " bloods" of to-day delight. The bear and the cock had at least the right to fight for their lives; the pigeon has no chance. A fashionable contemporary tells us that there has just been a strong muster of +he Hurlingham Club, over which Lord Holmesdale, M.P. for West Kent, presided. "In the shooting ground business commenced by twenty-six entering for a one soy. handicap sweepstake, at three birds each, from five traps, 11 oz. shot, the use of both barrels. The shooting was excellent, for no less than ten killed all." While this slaughter was going on the band of the Scots Fusi lier Guards was playing lively music. Fancy the band of one of our most famous regiments presiding at the massacre of pigeons! The entertainment is to continue every Saturday throughout the season. Alas that our jeunesse dm* should have nothing better to do than this ! It is they, not Mr. Brad laugh, nor even Mr. Bright, who make democrats of our literati, they who are rapidly arraying all the brains of the country against them. It is pleasant to turn from the London pigeon shooters to the Oxford boating men. The boating season on the Isis is now at its height. The races were continued on Saturday evening, when Univer sity succeeded in bumping Corpus at the Willow Crossing, and thus attained to the proud position of head of the river ; Brasenose ran into Lincoln at Sander's Bridge ; Merton succumbed to Christ Church ; and Balliol caught up Pembroke at the Gut. Magdalen yielded to Trinity at Sander's Bridge, and Oriel overhauled St. Mary Hall at the Green Barge. A large number of persons were ')resent, notwithstanding it rained the whole time. Equally an improvement upon the pigeon murders were the athletic sports at Sandhurst, when the Royal Military College gave a return meet ing to that which the Woolwich cadets gave at Beaufort House. There was a remarkable tie. P. 0. Walker, of Woolwich, cleared sft. lin., andW. Hennell, of Sandhurst, precisely the same height. Again, for second honours, A. W. Hanson, of Woolwich, got over 4f t. 10in., and this was tied by W. Hope, of Sandhurst. The flat race of 440 yards was won •by H. Hart, of Woolwich, in sCsec. The 181 b. shot was thrown 32ft. 2in. by APllree, of Sandhurst. The half-mile race was won in 2min. 10 . 355ee. by Thuillier, of Sandhurst. The widest jump was 19ft. lid., and won by Clerk, of Sandhurst. In the one-mile race another Sandhurst man, Townes, was the winner by 12 yards in 4min. 58sec. -a EAU", RUSSELL AND TYLE GC TERNMENT. Clearly the old Whigs arc not satisfied with the course taken by the Government with respect to Ireland. It is not only Lord Westbury who has, to use a slang expression, " cut up rough." tic and the Marquis of Clanricarde were certain to oppose any Liberal Government of which they were not members; and Earl Grey was certain to oppose any Government which consisted of more persons than one, and that one Earl Grey ; but Lord Russell has no grudge against the present Government, for ho was offered a seat in the Cabinet. Nevertheless he means to ask the Government on Thursday what its intentions are with respect to Ireland. This implies that his lordship does not consider the reply given by Earl Granville on Friday adequate to the occa sion. If appearances do not greatly mislead us, Ministers will have to do a good deal more than they have yet done to support the Queen's authority in the sister island. THU MAR QUI3 OF SALISBURY AND TUB G OVERNMENT. Persons who were present at the debate on Friday seem to consider that the Marquis of Salisbury was not in earnest in his attack upon Mr. Bright. Ile spoke with extraordinary hesitation and embarrass ment. IV hen, after commenting npon some remarks of Mr. Bright, he added, " I suppose they meant nothing very wicked or anarchical," a fierce Conservative partizan was heard to mutter indignantly, " He has let them out of it." Lord Granville showed not the smallest discomposure, and there was no cheering on either side. In fact, the whole scene was consi dered to be merely a sparring with the gloves z and was as dull as it was expected to be exciting. Immense was the contrast between the Upper and the Lower House. In the latter assembly the question put by Mr. Dodson, " that I report this (the Irish Church) bill to the House," was greeted with a storm of cheers by the Liberals, while the Con servatives rushed out of the House. TrIE CAY, Some time ago a subscription was set on foot in order to clear out the Cam, which has for many years been getting quite unfit for boating.

Mr. and Mrs. George The Pope has, as you are already aware, amnestied several political prisoners; political, not in the English, but Italian sense of the word, as none of them would have escaped the criminal justice of their country had they been English subjects. One of them, Venanzi, the head of the Faristi plot in 1862, it was clearly proved on his trial, had caused various doctors in his pay to poison Pontifical soldiers in hospital, and had initiated numbers of young men into the readiest way of assassi nation, by means of dead bodies, in the School of Anatomy of San Giacomo, his tools, Mauro and another surgeon, indicating the jugular and carotid veins to their pupils, and teaching them to stab quickly and mortally. These and their subordinates form the bulk of the political prisoners, and men condemned for these and similar crimes are held up by the revolutionary journals and committees for admiration and sympathy. The town of Terni has feted their arrival at the Italian frontier, and may cer tainly be congratulated on the guests it is honouring. Several of the poorer of the prisoners have refused pardons, as they are better off where they are than as emigrants to Italy. The waters of the Tiber have fallen to their usual level within the last two or three days, and the excavations at the Emporium have omsequently been resumed. The great Column of African is now on the point of being transported from its bed in the sand to the Paniculum. Tadolini's superb statue of St. Michael leaves Rome for Boston next week. The Pope will, it is said, visit the studio before its departure, as already have the King and Queen of Naples and all the royal and illustrious per- sonages now in Rome. A beautiful photograph on glass, framed as a lamp shade, has been taken of it for the Pope by the artist, and presented to him on the occasion of his jubilee. It is incontestably the noblest work of Christian art which has been produced for many years in Rome, and has produced a proportionate sensation. The Roman funds have risen to 65, having long been first at 58, and then at 62. All ERI CAN AFFAIRS, W. Childs, of the Philadelphia Ledger, arrived in the Russia on Wednesday evening. The Fisk suit against the Union Pacific is dragging its weary way along. It *as up in the United States DistEct Court before Judges Nelson and Batchelder ou Thurs day. One motion was to have theinjunetion vacated, the other to have the papers on file removing the case to the United States Court taken off. The question touching the transfer to the other courts was first argued. The pretensions of the Judge to exercise an unwarranted influence over the officers of railway companies is injuring this city, as there is a move to transfer many of the depots elsewhere. A large number of emigrants are leaving for California. The Henry Chauncey sailed on Wednesday evening for Aspinwall with nearly 1,000 passengers ; great numbers cross the continent by rail, and this is the way the Senators from the Pacific States return.

A Mr. Peck has left his perch with all the produce • that bird could lay his talons on. The house of which he was a partner, Parker, Peck, and Co., own the grain-elevator at the foot of De Graw street, Brooklyn.

The affairs of Cuba, to gether with the rejection of the Alabama Conven tion, have created uneasiness, which Senator Chandler's warlike speech so far helped as to run gold up and knock stocks down. People are laugh ing ar. that Senator's serious proposal in so sedate a body as the Senate, for England to barter away Canada to the United States 'in payment of a bill against Great Britain. If you, Mr. Editor, and I fall out and you settle any claims I have by telling me to appropriate Joe Buggins's brown stone front in Fifth-avenue, it may be a very ple asan t an d sooth iag bribe to me, a n d a very easy settlement of troublesome claims for you; but what would the respectable Mr. Buggins say? Now if I am to act the part our patriotic Senator proposes, I would assemble the " toughs" Fisk employed when he was carrying on the war against Vanderbilt and clear out Buggins, family, and serva n t s , con t ract i ng to do this in the shortest possible period. There are people so stupid as not to see the equity of this as the senator from Michigan sees it ; but then there are - people of all - grades of intellect, and he is not r, sponsible for all the fools. One thing is certain, that the " bears" of stocks and the " bulls of gold bad a fine time. An advance of one in gold was established in half an hour, which in large operations makes a man's fortune in a day ; so it is an ill-wind, WASHINGTON, April 23. Mr. Thornton, the British Minister, who was about to visit New York, gave a grand entertain ment to the members of Congress and and Diplo matic Corps, on Saturday evening, which was largely attended. It is here stated that our present Minister to London will not return home imme diately, as he will spend some time in European travel.* The President desires Mr. Motley to reach London early in June, and he has taken his passage in the .Cuba, to lea; c New York on the 19th May. Our scramble for office is ended as far as the Senate is concerned, but it never ends for the secretaries and chiefs of bureaux. The Senate scrutinised care fully many of the appointments, and not without reason, for they found, through pure accident in cne instance, that a man who made ft and his profession, to whom every dodge known to bankrupts was the familiar path he bad often trod, who swindled and cheated whenever the opportunity offered, had been nominated, with his testimonials endorsed not only by the Senators and Representatives of his State, but by clergymen of note, editors of leading papers, and those whose profession it is to war a , ainst such enemies of society as this man. When the appointmentbecamea scandal and general attention was attracted to it, a well-known editor, with shame and sorry, acknowledged that Lis name was among the signatures. But whatever may be our shortcomings as journalists, our men have on the whole behaved better in the scramble than those of any other profession. The only big appointment tendered an editor was that of the New York Ap praieership, offered to Charles A. Dana, of the New York Sun. A flattering letter accompanied it from Secretary Boutwell, begging of him as a personal favour to* accept the post, though he knew that it would neither accord with • Mr. Dana's tastes nor inclinations, and was belo ar his claims, while Mr. Boutwell offered him his warm support. The appointment is lucrative, and from a dollar view would have well pail the Editor, who, however, without hesitation, declined it. What Mr D.mnasaidis perhaps the highest compliment he could have paid his professional brethren. Educated to commercial pursuits he was qualified for a post suited to his taste, and while acknowledging this, he replied, " But I alrealy hold an office of respon sibility as the conductor of an independent news paper, and I am persuaded that to abandon it, or neglect it for the functions you offer me, would be to leave a superior duty for one of much lees im partance. Nor is it certain that I cannot do more to help you in the pure and efficient administration of the Treasury Department by remaining here and denouncing and exposing political irninorality than I could do as Appraiser by the most zealous efl - ort to insure the faithful ited honest collection of the Cll3tOMB." One of the great fights in the Senate was over the appointment of a rebel General to be Governor of New Mexico. The case of General Crow was not unlike that of Lon ;street, exlept that one was not so eminent a leader against the Union as the other. Both were true to the rebel cause while the war lasted, and both brought on themselves a good deal of odium among Southerners by adopting the Union cause as civilians, which they had failed to defeat as soldiers. Crowe is an. Alabama.nian, and he gave his best efforts when the war ended to forward the reconstruction of his State. General Grant's policy, although it may not suit the War-horses, is one of simple justice, and will tell favourably on the South. The posi tion of such gentlemen as Crowe, if ostracised by both parties, would become so unenviable that no Southerner would hereafter dare to follow his in inclination, and go in for" reconciliation were the policy of extremists to prevail ; this knowledge, however, had its weight with the Senate. for, after a hard struggle the appointment was confirmed by . a majority of 32 to 16. Mr. Carlisle having no record that proved satisfactory to the Senate, failed in getting the mission to Stockholm. J. Ross- Browne wrote a very interesting account of the Pacific slope, but however elaborate, however ex cellent, there was nothing in it that forwarded the Republican party interests, so the Senate could see no reason why heshould stay inChina. An order hasbeen issued having reference to decorating with flowers the graves of the soldiers who died for the country, and observing the 30th May as the day set apart to commemorate the great deeds of the Union Army. It falls on the Sabbath, therefore those who desire are at liberty to observe it on the Saturday preceding. - A rumour spread that the President intended to call an extra session of Congress, which was said to emanate from the California Senators, but this they denied. Most persons think they have had enough of Congress for one spell, and Gen. Grant appears also to think so, and some even assert has said so. The officers who lose their com mands by the consolidation of the infantry com plain bitterly of the injustice. General Sherman, who is Commander-in-Chief, carried out the scheme, but the grievances are sent to the Secretary of War, to whom they look for relief. That the case is a hard one you may easily understand, for gallant and meritorious soldiers who have worked up to the point to which they aspired suddenly find the whole fabric sink ; but General Rawlins has pledged himself to look after their interests, and to recompense them as the opportunity offers. The Hale-Perry correspondence quarrel has assumed another phase, as the New lark Tribune has got itself mixed up in the matter. What with the letters of its London correspondent denouncing Mr. Hale, the replies from himself and his friends. the publication of the strictly private official corre spondence supposed to be a profound secret, while it occupied two columns of the Tribune, and the scandal resulting l from this row shows an evident tendency to grow. Senators Cragin, Thurman, and Trumbull as a Special Committee are to investigate the manner of its publication, how the newspapers obtained the correspondence, and why they had the bad taste to publish it. They are enapowerel to send for persons and papers, to examine on oath, to go anywhere, but they must report next session. Yesterday some correspondents were examined by the Committee to ascertain how the Tribune obtained the despatches, but all refused to answer, asserting that they were bound in honour to keep that secret received in confiluce. They were dis missed, but the point was again debated in the Sen mte, the puzzle being how to punish the ob streperous newspaper men. If, as Senator Craiaen sugaaisted, they were sent to gaol, as the ben.tte would adjourn immediately, they could only be Iconfined for one night, but finally it was de- * The belief is that Mr. Reverdy Johnson intends to leave England on the 22d inst., but his successor cannot arrive till the end of the month; but it is not stated whether Mr. Johnson goes to the Continont or to the states. TUE MAYOR OF CORK. The news from Cork, unfortunately, confirms the first intelligence from that city, that the result of the Government policy has been to raise Mr. O'Sullivan in general estimation. While he was allowed to do as he liked his conduct was rather regarded by the lower classes as laughable, 3fet still as something to ba feebly condemned. But now ho is to be made a " martyr " all his faults are turned to noble deeds. The cry of the " Constitution in Danger " is taken up ; and Cork is proud of her first magistrate. Even among these who would be foremost in condemning sedition it is a doubtful matter whether the Govern ment bill ought to be allowel to peas. They would be very glad for Mr. O'Sullivan to resign ; but they are afraid that the passage of such a bill would inflict a blow on the right of choosing its own mayor, which is possessed by the Corporation. In the House of Commons, too, there is a great dislike - of the bill. It may be a necessary, but it is regarded as a most disagreeable, task. And the haste of the Government, the manifest want of any inquiry worthy of the name, the uncertainty as to the form and practice of receiving evidence on oath at the bar of the House, all these circumstances in crease the disinclination to deal with the matter. As to Mr. O'Sullivan himself, so eccentric is he that it can hardly be said what he will do. On Saturda y night he sent out telegrams announcing his resigna tion; Lu; hardly had the news become known when he changed his mind and contradicted it. First he would, then he would not, have counsel at the bar of the House. He denounced those as traitors and treacherous friends who had defended him in the local council, and refused as an offer from the enemy the proposed payment of his expenses for the defence. He skews favour to the law-breakers ;. he has no name bad enorgli f o r the police, and those who wish to maintain order. Anyone who wishes to obtain his favour must neither attack nor defend him—but has only to get drunk or to commit some petty o ffence. Certainly, if the Mayor does not resign, lazy o r timid members of the House must throw aside both their love for letting alone and their fear of interference; such a man Mlle not be retained on the bench. The Government intend to go on, and have retained as counsel for the Crown, to appear at the bar of the House, Mr. Solicitor- General Barry, Mr. Serjeant Ballantine, and Mr. Archbold, the Attorney-General's standing "devil," rAnLiA3IENTAUY. The Whips on either side of the House of Com mons are trying to keep their men from running , away before the 'Whitsuntide holidays really com mence.

TILE CARLTON CLUE AND TILE CONSERVATIVE CHIEFS'. The Adcertisfr sus there was not only a crowded, but an excited, meeting of the " Carlton " on Satur day last. " Nothing could have been more warmly debated than the proposal t) have portraits of Lord Derby mad Mr. Disraeli painted for the club, as a slight recognition of the eminent services 'rendered by these distinguished Statesmen' to the Conservative cause; but for some reason or other the proposition failed to meet with the full measure of sapport which its originators expected, and the motion was with- drawl." THE ARMY AND THE PRESS. A correspondent of one of the metropolitan dailies calls attention once again to the Queen's regulation which prohibits the making of anonymous com plaints, or " publishing anything" through the medium of the press calculated to excite discontent in the army. The immediate result of this rule is that grievances go on year by year almost unheard of. There is practically no other way of obtaining redress—to write to the newspapers is the usur4, l way with all other classes—and consequently the best soldiers are in haste to leave the army. Brand. mg, which was thought to be abolished, lived fo yearn through this regulation. Is there no way of modifying it? A COLONIAL GOVERNOR ON COLONIAL POLICY. Mr. E. A. Weld, the late Prime Minister of Nevi Zeahnd, and the newly-appointed Governor of Western Australia, was entertained at a banquet or Saturday evening. The Colonial Secretary war in the chair, and many celebrated persons were present. The only important s)eech was made by Mr Weld'himself. lie gave as the reason for his selec tion that the views which he had on colonial policy were in accordance with those of the Government. He thought—and had always been fearless in expounding his opinion—that every colony should be allowed to develop° its self-reliant qualities. As they were allowed to shew themselves independent, so would the sympathy and the interest of English men he obtained. MILITARY EDUCATION. The Commissioners of Military Education have just been visiting Woolwich. It is believed that the proposal to amalgamate Sandhurst with Woolwich has been relinquished, that. the Cadets' College, at Sandhurst, if not abolished, will be modified into the collegiate system ; and that the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich will be continued under a different regime. It has been propoSed that before admission to Woolwich the cadets will have to be thoroughly proficient in thooretioal knowledge, ruoll as mathematics. languages, &c., and receive instruction only in practically fitting them for the Royal Engineers-and the Royal Artillery. Should this proposal be adopted, the cadets on admission will be temporarily com missioned as sub-lieutenants, and become amenable to the Articles of War; and any subsequent mis conduct will render them liable to trial and punish ment by court martial. The effect of this alteration would be to render the cadets more proficient and settled, and lessen the working staff and number of professors.

A laity, writing to the Times, records a case at the Central Urhninal Court which was not reported in the newspapers. It was a charge p referr e d b y her against two roughs. who attempted, very violently, to rob her in Mid-day sonic time since. She resisted, and suer...eeded in getting two of the roughs captured, identifying them without doubt. They were sent for. trial, and the bill was endorsed by the grand jury. They were tried. before the Recorder. lle expressed himself in his summing up decidedly in favour of conviction; yet the jury found the prisoners " not guilty." The judge was surprised, and declared that if such verdicts were given there would be no security ,, for th e public.

The Bally News of yesterday issued. a warning to the money market. It counsels speculators to beware of foreign stocks. The country has been con gratulating itself on the revival of trade, the return f prosperity after such a very long period of monetary depression. L'ut if the rally News is to be believed, our hopes have been groundless. What waa Hien as . a Sian of the return of better things is rath er o th erw i se . The money which has been wanted has not been circu lated at home at ail. We have in England been stricken to sonic extent with th e mania, pre vails more extensively on the Continent for foreign bonds. At present there seems to be a good chance of " malzing a hit" in foreign stock, and so money has been going to the United States, Russia., &c. If these speculations go on, they can only end again in ruin and further depression. The action of the Rank of England in raising the rate of discount has, t h ere f ore , boon won timed, and will be, of the greatest use if it cheeiz the outflow of money. A further rise is c:lpcetcd, TIIE MILTON AID GALILEO LETTER% A correspondent of the Daily News expresses his conviction that the letters recently presented to the French Institute, byM. Masks, professing to be genuine correspon de nce between Milton, Galileo, Louis XIV., and ot acrs, are audacious literary forgeries. lle is convinced that no man, in the 17th century, could have made use of such extraordinary French phraseology. Ile - began by reading tho supposed letter of Milton to Louis XIV., and ascertained that all the facts concerning Milton's travels in France and Italy had bccnb?rrowed from his own account of them. The critic gives good reasons for his incredulity as to the origin of the letters, for he quotes a Passage in M. Villemain's "Notice sur Milton," published in his " Melanges," and in the new edition of Michaud' s " Biographic Univer zelle," togetherwith a pa:ssago from . the letter referred - to. The extract from the " Notice" is almost word for word the same as the letter, only the writer of the letter has endeavoured to make his French a little more ancient by the use of such ~ amy, ,, " allay," words as and " scavans." Every name and incident mentioned is identical, and the critic concludes his labours by hoping that M. Chasles will profit by the lemon. THE MAZZINIAN CONSPIRACY IN ITALY. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ROME, MAT 2. The trial of the Roman subjects concerned in the attack of the Gate of St. Paul, in October 1867, is now before the courbo. Th“y will - pe.l)o.Lly h rviPsuied nn condition of leaving the country. Letters which I have received from undeniable sources in Naples give details which fully account for Victor Emmanuel's precipitate departure thence. His Majesty was waited on by the Questors of Naples (or head of police) to inform him of a most formidable and widely. extended plot against his life, and that the police could not be answerable for his safety if he remained. He, therefore, left early in the morning, before Prince Napoleon's arrival. He appeared at the races escorted by cuirassiers and in a close carriage, and this most unusual proceeding caused the worst possible effect. Had he not left Naples when he did, there is reason to fear that he would have been assassinated, so widely spread and so virulent is the new Mazzinian organisation. It appears that the remonstrances of Menabrea to the Helvetic Confederation have been. greatly weakened by the fact that Signor Melegari, the representative of Italy at Berne, is the same person who, many years since, recommended Signor Gallenga to Mazzini himself as a tool ready to his purpose when the murder of Charles Albert was resolved on. A letter from Mazzini, originally published in the Poputo d'ltalia, and reprinted in the Unita of the 29th of April, leaves no doubt on the matter ; and it is clear that the very man now charged to demand Mazzini's extradition was one of his most intimate associates and fellow-conspirators. Coppi, in his " A nnali d'ltalia," calls Melegari " the first rebel against Savoy, and one of the founders of yotmg Italy ;" and it is scarcely from such a man, whose antecedents are perfectly known, that the remonstrance canes with the best grace. _ For the present moment, all is exceptionally quiet and prosperous here. An enormous quan tity of Pontifical money is being struck at the mint, among others, some beautiful pieces of 100 francs in gold. The prices of labour are very high, and there is abunclatt work, especially for building purposes, the extension of the city going on steadily, especially in the direction of St. Mary Major and the railway stations of the terminus, valich is far the most healthy quarter of - Rome, and pronises to become one of .the most fashion able, although for strangers it is a little out of the way. The officers of the Zonaves are many of them going on permission, whici does not give the idea of any immediate danger to Rome ;and, save for the certainty that Mazzini is now the life anl soul of a most; formidable movement, there would be Little cause to doubt that the autumn tided to postpone the case till next session. Mr: Smalley returned to the charge in a letter dated April 5. He states that the scandal circulated some years ago in Madrid, and then hushed, has now be come public. Thinking Mr. Hale would go at the end of his term, the desire was to let him leave un stained by this charge, but his demand for another term has exhausted even Spanish patienv,, IS Smalley, after giving the Official • statements sub-' stantiatiug the charge of introducing contraband goods under his diplomatic franchise, .says he knot the story for some time, and he trusted the dis grace which affects the country of which Mr. lisle is the representative might have been spared, but the action of the Cortes has made secrecy impos sible. Now he hopes, an d so d o I, th a t M r. Mile Will bolAy meet and refute these charges. A card hag been published in the Tribune from Mr. H de, dated Madrid, March 31, wherein he answers Mr..Stnal ley's assertion that he has no sympathy . with the revolution. This he denies, and, as foil ,ws, en deavours to fix an cilium on the correspondent, but there is not a word about using his diplomatic posi tion to cover smuggling transactions. In fact, AR. Hale could not then have answered a charge at that time,:not at least publicly made : " Perhaps I ought to feel gratified that the ingenious malignity of the author of this false and outrageous charge has nothing to allege against my integrity, or, indeed, anY part of my official conduct, save that my faculties no much impaired, and 1 am openly hostile to the Republican movement. If it be evidence of impaired .faculties that I did not detect in an individual whom Imlmitted as a guest in my family and at my table a disguised foe, who Estella' to the unrestrained conversation of the family Circle to which he was admitted for the time as a member, to be retailed afterward in the public press, for the purpose of injuring him of whose hospitality ho was partaking, 1 plead guilty to the charge." General Burbridge was arrested on Monday, and was discharged on Tuesday owing to an informality in the proceedings. The grand jury found a bill against him for receiving bribes from distilleries en' gaged in defrauding the Government.- He No' arrested on the warrant of Judge Wylie by deputy marshal Phillips.
