State of TradP. MANCHESTER, Dec. 11.—There has been a good deal of business in shipping yarns to-day, but m ostly at the prices of last week. In some few cases a slight advance has been obtained. Some considerable parcels have changed hands, and the market closes good with a disposition to operate in any suitable lots. In home-trade yarns there has been a rather better market, at prices id. per lb. better than the prices of last Friday for some de scriptions. Where a greater advance is asked it Seems to check business. In the cloth-market there seems to have been little disposition to meet the ad vance necessitated by the rise in cotton and yarn, although the inquiry to-day has been decidedly more general, and offers have been much more freely made. Still, the advance which sellers have been obliged to ask has stopped what otherwise might have been a large business. Sellers have only suc ceeded ix putting down some few small orders at a slight advantage on the rates of last week, any in crease even on these being most unwillingly con ceded by buyers, and quite unobtainable for large transactions. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report : The recent large business in Liverpool, and con sequent hardening tendency of cotton, have found b u t little response in this market. The advanced prices asked for yarns naturally react on our quota tions for goods, but little advantage is really obtain able, and onlyforsmall quantities. Notwithstanding the more general inquiry, the advance demanded for goods has confined our business within very moderate limits." CARDIFF, 10th.—The steam coal trade of the dis trict is still characterised by a large amount of activity in consequence of the great demand from the foreign and home markets, as well as for marine purposes. In some parts of the district, more par ticularly the Rhondda Valley, the out-put is larger than was ever known, and as the get is restricted by the want of hands the men who have been dis charged from the neighbouring iron works find no difficulty in obtaining employment. The exports for last month amounted to 166,850 tons, being an increase of 46,732 tons on the corresponding month of last year, and it is expected that the increase will be even still greater this month, as colliery proprie tore are well off for orders on foreign account, and fresh ones are flowing in satisfactorily. An increase is also to be reported in the inland demand, and some difficulty is experienced in obtaining sufficient railway accommodation for the conveyance of the large quantities required by the Loudon and other markets, and for shipment at Birkenhead. In the house coal trade there are large purchases made on coasting account, and prices have advanced. The exports of iron to America are well maintained, and both southern and northern consumers are rather forward in their purchases. A small business is done on South American account, and the Indian trade is looking more hopeful. The spring contracts are gradually coming in, and Italy and one or two of the continental markets are likely to take in creasing quantities. Pig-iron sales are flat, and only a moderate business is doing in tin-plates. LEEDS, litia.—The cloth-halls to-day have been thinly attended by buyers, and the same amount of dulness which has more or less characterised these public markets for some time has been exhibited. The business done was quite of a retail nature, operations being confined chiefly to small selections of ordinary cloths, with fair purchases of tweeds and a few samples of spring fabrics. There was no change in prices. Wools, too, are steady, but not much business is being done between the local brokers and the manufacturers at the present time, as many of the latter have bought freely at the sales of colonial wools just concluded in the metropolis. The condition and quality of the Australian wools which have come to hand and been opened out are well spoken of, being quite equal to those of any previous sales. ROCHDALE, 9th.—The flannel, the Yorkshire goods, and the wool trades here keep rather inactive so far as sales are concerned, and to-day's market was much like those of the past month or more. Buyers bought only small selections of good 3, but they included fancy as well as heavy flannels, and the various descriptions of s ;wirers, and other fabrics known in this market as Yorkshire goods, from the fact that the great bulk of them are made in the western and north-western parts of that county. Generally prices. are firm, though it was noticeable that some flannels and Yorkshire goods were sold at a slight decline from the terms asked last week. ETHNOLOGICAL SOCIETY. disparity which existed between the manners, habits, and pronunciation of an European and Asiatic people. The number of Arabic words in Spanish is, indeed, believed not to exceed 286. Contrariety of race, manners, and religion, he observed, hindered that amalgamation of the conquerors and conquered which would certainly have taken place had these obstacles not existed. This was clearly enough shown by the opposite results which followed the Norman conquest of England, by which, in less than three centuries, or one-third the duration of the Arabian dominion in Spain, not only were the conquerors and the conquered blended into one people, but a new and improved language, resulting from a union of the languages of the two nations, had been created, and this in the same proportion of its elements as when Shakspere and Milton, Bacon and Burke, wrote in it. The effect of the Norman conquest of England was to promote civili sation, for the conquerors were far in ad'rance of the ' conquered, and in race not inferior to them. The opposite effect resulted from the Arabian conquest of Spain ; for the rude conquerors, when they achieved it, must have been greatly below the people of a Roman province at the moment in occupation of a Teutonic people, since at the time the Arabs had hardly been a century out of their own deserts. In the discussion of the paper the opinions ex pressed by Mr. Crawfurd of the original inferiority of the Arabs, and of the limited extent of their in fluence on European civilisation, were combated by several speakers. Mr. Markham, having resided for some time near Cordova, spoke of the great im provements the Arabs had introduced in the irriga tion and agriculture of that part of Spain, where many of the works they executed still remain in operation. The number of Arabic words used among the people is also much greater than that which ap pear in the Spanish dictionary. Mr. Freeland de fended the literature of the Arabs; and having translated several of their poems, he declared them to be fully equal in lyrical beauty to the poetry of modern Europe. Dr. Kemp claimed for the Arabian physicians remarkable knowledge and skill, and pointed out how greatly medical art was indebted to them. Dr. Donovan and Mr. Howarth also spoke in support of the claims of the Arabs to a high state of civilisation. Mr. Crawfurd replied to the observations of the various speakers ; after which an able and elaborate paper was read by Mr. DuNN " On Archaeology and Ethnological Problems." Assuming the existence of man long prior to the period assigned in the Mosaic account of the creation, he nevertheless contended for the unity of the human race, and opposed strongly the transmutation theory that man was descended from apes. He adduced several authorities to prove that many instances are known of the deterioration of the form of the human cranium, and that none exist of such a change as from the skull of a negro to that of a well-formed European. He noticed, at some ex tent, the discoveries of archeologists in the kitchen middens of Denmark, the lake habitations, and in cromlechs, attributing to the relics there discovered an antiquity equal to that of the woolly rhinoceros, and other animals now extinct in Europe ; and he anticipated that, from the further researches of ar cheologists, much additional light would be thrown on the origin of man. The meeting then adjourned. At the meeting of this society, yesterday evening, a paper was read, communicated by the Pro3ident, Mr. J. Crawfurd, "On the Dissemination of the Arabian Race and Language." The whole of Arabia, Mr. Crawfurd observed, is inhabited by a single race of man, apparently its aborigines, and speaking one language of their own creation, which is peculiar and complex in its structure. When this people first became known to the rest of the world they culti vated some cereals, such as wheat, barley, and mil lets, but subsisted chiefly as they do up to the pre sent day on the fruit of the date palm, seemingly a native of their own country. They had domesti cated the horse, the ass, the camel, the ox, the sheep, and the goat, all probably natives of ttlheeasirt,owwasn country and among . these the horse, a superior to that . of any other A • - of a quality Asiatic They had acquired the art of fabricating people. malleable iron, but if they possessed gold, silver, copper, or tin; they must have received them from strangers, for they had them not of their own. The Arabs bad invented a written character. They car ried on a petty inland trade across the desert with Syria and Persia, across the two gulfs with Africa to the west and Persia to the east, and such of them as inhabited the coast of the Sea of Oman took their share in the maritime trade which brought the pro ductions of India to the markets of Europe. At the time referred to, the Arabs, lie considered, were certainly barbarian, but they were not savages, although they must, like all the other races of man, have passed through that stage. The very physical geography of their country must have early di vided the Arabs into two usually distinct classes. These were and still are the nomadic shepherds for the desert, and the fixed agriculturists for the less sterile part of the country. Had the people of Arabia been African negroes, or Malays, or even Hindoos, we may safely believe (Mr. Crawfurd said) that in their inhospitable land they never would have at tained even the modest measure of advancement now described, but on the contrary would have been in the savage condition of some Africans or Red In dians, whose condition was far more auspicious. It was not so, however, for the Arab race is of higher intellectual quality than any other of Asia, in many respects not being surpassed even by the Chinese, and this superiority is evinced by the predominance they exercise when they come into contact with any of the other races of Asia. The Arabs, from their peninsular position and the generally barren cha racter of their country, continued in a state of iso lation until the time of Mahomet. Under the inspi ration of his religion the Arabs became an altered People. They left their own country and at once Commenced a career of conquest that for rapidity and extent has no parallel. Transplanted to better lands than their own, they improved or deteriorated according to the race with which they commingled . The advanc e i n civilisation which the Arabs have made dated fr om the i option of their new religion, and most of it t oo k place, ' not in Arabia, but i n fo reign countries. Their literatureu coand their architec ture all sprang up i n foreign countries. They were n ot themselves discovere rs or inventors and onlythe benefit they conferred on civilisation consisted ; in their being the agents through which the disco veries and improvements of other n ations were w id e ly disseminated. It was, for example, through their active mediation that the arts of distillation and paper-making, Chinese inventions, reached Europe ; and the Western World owes to them the introduction of many useful plants, as rice, cotton, the sugar-cane, the opium-poppy, the orange and melon. Mr. Crawfurd then proceeded to notice the character of the Arabian language, and the intro duction of Arabic words into Spain, where, notwith standing the Arabs were in possession of the-coun try nearly 770 years, comparatively few words were adopted in the Spanish language, owing to the Ti E SUN, LOiO)O.N, WEDNESDAY EVEAING, DECEMBER 12, 1866. tional policy will lead to disaster, and I have done my duty by opposing such a policy by every lawful means. lam therefore not responsible for the re sult. Nor is it impossible that I may be wrong and the Congress and the majority of the nation be right. But whether they be right or I right, my duty is clear, and that is to execute the laws they pass. We see no " sublime obstinacy" in the PRESI DENT'S action, though we do see great force of cha racter and.determination,and thePEESIDENT's course appears to us to be consistent with his well-known disposition. It might on the whole be better if Mr. JOHNSON'S mind could be more easily moulded to the occasion ; —if he would act more as the servant and less as the dictator of the people. If, however, the people elect for the highest places men of great determination, they must occasionally expect to find themselves at issue with their rulers, and the battle between them will be in proportion to the ability and strength of mind of those they have deliberately chosen. Nor will the result be with out its value. The question of Reconstruction is amongst the most important ever decided in the United States. The contest has been long and obstinate, and every argument that can bear on the subject has been urged on both sides. However strong party feeling may run, hasty and imperfect legislation cannot result from measures so long and deliberately considered. Nor is it impossible, now that the representatives of the people and this de termined chief of the Executive meet face to face, finally to settle the long dispute, that each side may concede something. Ordinary people, when con tending for the best terms they can get, generally advance exaggerated pretensions. On each side the extreme limits of the claims are urged. But when the points at issue are brought up for decision, con cessions are generally made. If every family quarrel was pushed to its extreme; there would be a general break-up of social relations. While separated and at a distance from each other they will write and speak as if the victims of great grievances, but when brought together for the settlement of the matters in dispute, they generally end in a compro mise. It often astonishes the public to hear the platform harangues of honourable members, and to listen to these very members discussing the same subject in the 'louse of Commons. We will pro bably not find a trace of the PRESIDENT'S wild in vectives embodied in his Message to the House he traduced. Nor is it likely, that the House will indulge in the language so many of its members employed, when " stumping" the States. If people were compelled to act in conformity with their talk, the world might fairly be likened to a. zoological garden, with the cages opened and all the restraints removed. We entirely agree with the Cabinet Minister who wrote these words :—" The apprehension you seem to feel, and which many others share with you, that Mr. JOHN SON will attempt to force Southern Representatives into Congress, or do any other imprudent thing by which the public peace will be disturbed or the pub lic credit be deranged, is utterly unfounded." In one word, President JOHN SON is no fool, nor is Congress composed of madmen.—l he Anylo-Ameri can Times. assignment, duly stamped, and made by Mr. El worthy's advice. Cross-examination continued—Had never paid Mr. Jenkin /5 to stay away from giving evidence in favour of Cannon. Had lent Jenkin £5 out of his own pocket. Had not received the money from Digby for that purpose. It had not been paid. He still held Jenkin's I 0 U for it. Defendant—Did you ever expect to be paid? Witness—Yes. Defendant—And yet you never had any dealings with the man before or since. In further cross-examination the witness denied that defendant had struck out from the draft affida vit the words " registered" and " unencumbered ;" but defendant might have struck out the words " above £250." If so, defendant did certainly not strike them out from the affidavit itself. Defendant--No; because I trusted to you to make a fair copy. Mr. Flowers—lf you could show that part of the alleged false statement consisted of an error which had been corrected by you in the draft but omitted to be corrected in the affidavit there would be a ma terial point for you. Defendant—Let them produce the draft. That will show it. The witness undertook to produce the draft. The cross-examination was protracted to a consi derable length, the defendant endeavouring to show that substantially these proceedings were instituted in the interest of Messrs. Digby and Atherton, in order to influence the result of a civil action now pending between himself and those parties. Also that the amount of the loan, all but 114 and a charge for costs making up the amount of £23, had been paid, and that payment of the £23 had been tendered, but Mr. Elworthy had refused to receive it unless he were also paid certain other sums still in dispute. Mr. E. H. Tinsley, clerk in the solicitor's office, Inland Revenue, Somerset-house, proved the usage of the office, that when the registered proprietorship of a newspaper is to be transferred, a statutory declara tion must be made by the proprietor, the printer, and the publisher. On the 17th April, 1865, Miss Emily Cannon was registered as proprietor of the South London News; that registration had never been altered. The Croydon Free Press had never been registered at all. On the 30th September a note was received from Mr. Cannon stating that the copyright of the South London News and of the Croydon Free Press had been transferred to him, and that in a few day 3 he would comply with the neces sary formalities for registration. Cross-examined by Defendant.—lt was chiefly the business of the printer and publisher to see to the registration, as they and not the proprietor were liable to penalties. If they could not find sureties the proprietor could not register, but then he ought to find a printer and publisher that could. Mr. George Atherton, of the late firm of Digby and Atherton, produced a document signed by de fendant assigning to Mr. Digby a charge of gip upon the copyrights of the two papers. This witness underwent a lengthy cross-examination, chiefly tending to show that he received this document from defendant for the satisfaction of his partner, though both of them knew it was perfectly valueless, de fendant having at that time no interest in the papers, and such an assignment being invalid even if he had in the other matters, which the Court held to be ex traneous. All these suggestions were denied. Mr. Flowers said the points thrown out by the defendant were, no doubt, proper questions to be submitted to a jury, and if established might afford an answer to the charge, but there certainly was a prima facie case, such as he felt himself bound to send for trial. Charge of Perjury against a Newspaper Proprietor. Yesterday, at Bow-street, Mr. Thomas Cannon, late proprietor of the South London News, appeared to a summons charging him with having committed perjury in an affidavit taken before Mr. Hopgood, one of the commissioners for taking oaths, on the 30th September, 1866. A former summons, setting forth the same charge, was made in July last, but as it had not been served, and there was an allegation that the defendant could not be found, a warrant was granted, which was executed in November, and the defendant was brought before Mr. Flowers. The magistrate dismissed the case, considering that the evidence was not inconsistent with good faith on the part of the defendantin making the allegations. Sub sequently Mr. Collins, the barrister, instructed by Mr. Elworthy, the solicitor for the prosecution, ap plied for a new summons, urging that he was now prepared to submit evidence which would completely answer the argument on which Mr. Flowers had acted. This was granted ; but on the case coming on for hearing, Mr. Cannon pointed out that the summons was incorrect, the aflidavit being stated to have been made on the 30th September, 1866, in stead of 1865. Mr. Collins asked the learned ma gistrate to amend the summons, as the error was only on a point of form. Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, said it was not a point of form, but of sub stance, in which Mr. Flowers concurred, remarking that defendant might have been misled. Still the summons might be amended with the defendant's consent. The defendant declined to make any con cession, saving that the whole matter had already been heard, and the present proceedings were taken vexatiously and solely for the purpose of influencing an action now in progress, in which he (Mr. Cannon) was plaintiff. That summons was accordingly dis missed, and a fresh one instituted, to which Mr. Cannon now appeared. Mr. Collins, in opening the case, said Mr. Can non was a reporter, and formerly a proprietor of the South London News. About the 30th September, he applied to Mr. Elworthy for a loan of £lOO, which was obtained from Mr. Honey, a client of Mr. Elworthy. Prior to the money being advanced, he made au affidavit, the important parts of which were that he was the registered proprietor of the South Londo n News and Croydon Free Press, both papers being unencumbered. It would be shown that the Croydon Free Press was not registered at all ; that at the date of the affidavit Cannon was not regis tered proprietor of the South London News, and that on the 11th he had charged these papers with a sum of £153 to Mr. Digby, of the firm of Heathcote and Digby, the printers of those papers. Mr. Hopgood, one of the London commissioners for administering oaths in Chancery, proved that the affidavit was sworn before him on the day in question. Cross-examined—He believed it was after twelve o'clock. Defendant—Certainly. But I presume you will hardly call upon me to fiud bail. My own recog nisances will be sufficient. lam not likely to run away from such a charge as this. Mr. Collins, however, pressed for bail, and de fendant was bound over in two sureties of £5O each and his own recognizances of £lOO. Bail was at once provided, and the defendant left the court with his frien ls. THE VALLEY OF THE AMAZON. PROFESSOR AGASSIZ'S DESCRIPTION OF ITS WONDER- FCL RESOUR C ES. Professor Agassiz, it has bee❑ known for some time, thinks that the Valley of the Amazon will one day support so many millions of people that the Valley of the Mississippi will Le nothing to it, al though the latter lies in the temperate and the former in the torrid zone. Recently he gave some of his reasons for this view in a public lecture. The facts he presented were most striking. He set out on his journey with every advantage that wealth, science, and good will could afford. His expenses and those of six assistants were paid by Mr. Thayer, of Boston. Other assistants volun teered, and thus sixteen persons formed the most remarkable of scientific expeditions. Of two steam ship companies, one gave his expedition, a free pas sage to Rio. The United States Government sent a circular to all our naval officers on the station to render the expedition all the service in their power, and the Emperor of Brazil treated them with an Imperial hospitality that arranged for the accomplishment of all their desires. A ship of war was placed at their service for several months on the Amazon. He consumed 25,000 gallons of alcho hol in preserving the specimens brought away, and was even able to bring home a fossil palm tree, to enable botanists to throw light upon the former vegetation and climate; of those American tropics. The banks of the Amazon form a peculiar speci men of tropical nature, quite unlike similar regions in Africa or Asia. There are no hills for two thou sand miles, clear away across the continent to the foot of the Andes, and the river is four thousand miles long, running from West to East, the valley being eighteen hundred miles wide, and of the most amazing fertility, full of vegetable matter, and irri gated by rivers where ships of war can sail for hun dreds of miles. The climate averages but eighty two degrees, though right under the line— seventy-two degrees being the lowest, and ninety-five degrees the highest ever known. Mr. Albert H. Elworthy, solicitor, of 14, South ampton-buildings, said he had been 12 years in prac tice there, and deposed to the facts as stated by Mr. Collins. He also mentioned that the security origi nally proposed was that of a claim which defendant had, in his wife's right, upon certain funds in Chan cery, but finding that defendant had also an inte rest in the newspaper property, he took that as a further security. Defendant was introduced to wit ness by his (Cannon's) solicitor, Mr. Jenkin. The 30th September was on a Saturday, and the money was required that day to pay wages. Witness ad vanced £5O out of his own pocket, as the completion of the necessary documents would occupy some days. When they were completed he obtained the money for his client, Mr. Honey, and paid the ba lance to Cannon, deducting his charges. The inte rest was to be at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum for three months, although he had to pay Mr. lloney 15 per cent. Witness drew out the affidavit, which was signed at his office, and taken to Mr. Hopgood's to be sworn. _ _ The river runs opposite to the trade winds, and thus makes this one of the most mild and healthful of all tropical regions. Yet it has a bad name, owing to the bad arrangements of the Brazilian Government, who sends out to these regions young officers, who misrepresent the climate to get away. All his company went and returned with comfort, and are now enjoying better health than usual. The woods are full of timber of the most valuable varieties—one hundred and seventy-eight dif ferent kinds of timber were counted in a small region. The river is not open at present, but soon will be. There is not a saw mill on this noblest of rivers. In August and September the snows of the Andes melt, but the lower section does not feel the rise till the following March, and the river is highest from June to October. The rise is from thirty to sixty . feet, sometimes the whole basin is under water, and the forests may be navigated. The river has no delta like the Nile, the Ganges, or the Mississippi—not for want of mud, for it is of a sort of half coffee, half-cream colour, and tinges the ocean far out to sea. Instead of forming land, the sea is constantly encroaching on the shore. The river once extended three hundred miles beyond its present mouth, and a belt of that breadth has been swept away. Whether this is owing to the sinking of the coast, or the force of the current undermining, as at Niagara Falls, is uncertain ; but rivers now empty into the Atlantic, that clearly used to be tributary to the Amazon. Cross-examined by Mr. Cannon—Had nevergono by any other name than Elworthy. Did not know a gentleman in court pointed out to him by defen dant. Never did any business with Mr. Jenkiu prior to this transaction, and would not employ him for any business. Had never been denied at his office either to clients or creditors. Had latelybeenabsent for some weeks, having been engaged on urgent business, and having also been married during the interval. (Laughter.) Mr. Collins observed that this was " urgent busi ness." In further cross-examination witness denied being implicated in some alleged fraudulent transactions. An objection being raised as to the relevancy of these matters, Mr, Cannon said they were material as a test of credibility, as he (Mr. Cannon) should claim to be examined to contradict Mr. Elworthy on points essential to the case. Cross-examination continued—Did not know that the copyrights had been assigned to defendant by hi 3 sister five days previous to the date of affidavit. He knew Mr. Jenkin's handwriting, and identified it in the body of the assignment produced. Mr. Collins had no doubt there was a draft assign ment, but contended that it was a trick. Defendant said it was not a draft, but a genuine As to the prospect of this river soon being open to a profitable American commerce, it must be borne in mind that whatever may be the mildness of the climate for the tropics, yet fevers would appear certain to prevail. Fish are abundant in the river, but so are alligators and serpents, jaguars, bears, panthers, and other wild animals are equally abundant. The tides, at the full of the moon, are more wonderful than in the Bay of Funday. They do not rise so high, but much more suddenly, sweeping along like a mighty wave or tongue of water, ten or twelve feet high, uprooting trees and sweeping vessels most destruc tively. Still, where, money is to be made, difficulties will be overcome, and the interests both of the United States and Brazilian Governments are to closely connected wish the opening up of this vast region, to leave any doubt but that under the pre sent Emperor of those vast, rich, and important regions, the valley of the Amazon will be opened to promote commerce and settlement. systematically, and on principle, excludes gentlemen from all but the very highest ranks in the service. We believe there are not above half -a .dozen places for gentlemen in the whole of the metropolitan force ; though no reason can be given why half-pal officers, for example, should not make good superin tendents and inspectors. As it is, these are wen from the ranks, and a system of promotion which. people would not hear of for the army is the rule of the police. There is said to be a very good under standing between the constables and the inspecter s ' for they are continually in communication, whi le the authorities at the head office have little to (la but to receive reports. It is an army of privates and non-commissioned officers, commanded by ave r) : small staff. This is at least a unique system, an d cannot but be called into question if the efficiency and tone of the force should ever be impeached. For the present there are questions enough waitiag their settlement, and we see no need to add this. EHE ENGLISH PRESS ON THE PRESI DENT'S MESSAGE. The Times entirely agrees with President John son that it is high time the Alabama dispute was set at rest, and regrets that Lord Russell, though pro bably right in disclaiming any legal liability to com pensation, did not hold out any hope of a compro mise honourable to both parties. It ought to have been recognised fromthe first that the circumstances attending the equipment and escape of the Alabama, apart from the untoward incident of Sir John Hard ing's illness, constituted a new case in International Law, and the discussion of it should have been de ferred uLtil the end of the war. Instead of this each act of depredation was made the subject of a separate claim for indemnity as it arose, and both Governments were deeply committed to their re spective positions before Mr. Adams entered into the final correspondence with Lord Russell. The pre sent Foreign Secretary is perfectly free to entertain any fresh proposals without prejudice ; and it would be a great misfortune if he were to be em barrassed in dealing with them according to his own judgment by any reluctance to reverse the decision of his predecessor. The renewed adhesion of President Johnson to his own reconstruction policy in spite of the recent elections is better calculated to excite surprise than admiration. Obstinacy carried, to this pitch is not without an element of sublimity ; but, after all, statesmanship must be measured by a practical standard. Popes are the only rulers who can sum mon legions of angels to defend them against the inevitable without forfeiting a character for worldly wisdom ; and of all rulers elective Presidents are those who have least right and least power to defy the popular will. The Telegraph thinks the dispute between our selves and the United States as to the Alabama claims could be fairly referred to an arbitra tor. Our national honour is not impugned, but it is asserted that our servants were malicious or negli gent, and that we must be answerable for their acts. It would be well that the whole question had been referred to the arbitration of some European sove reign whose position would insure respect for his decision. As to our neutrality laws, England has every reason to wish that the duties of neutrals should be strictly defined, for she has a mercantile marine especially vulnerable to the insidious attacks of maritime Powers professing neutrality, but really anxious to aid our foes. One must, therefore,, hope to see, as the result of the new commission, some amendment that will enable us in future to " come into court with clean. hands," and to demand from foreign Powers a neutrality as strict and as honest as our own has really been. Lord Stanley deserves credit for having taken the very best step towards a consummation so devoutly to be wished. The Daily News deplores that all the good advice which eminent men are said to have given Mr. Johnson has been frustrated by his inordinate Vanity. If it be true that he still most decidedly protested at the elections, and which even the de feated minority no longer support, he must have utterly lost the political capacity for which he has hitherto received credit. bPIRI r OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Economy of Heat and Consumption of Smo lz e. Under this head the iron Age makes the follow' ing remarks on a recent valuable, invention —the furnace. of Mr. Liemens, of Birmingham, which it states, " has excited great interest in Great Britain/ where the presumed dearth of mineral fuel has bee n regarded with apprehension. This invention, hcs" ever, lays all such apprehensions at rest, for it' literally economises all the heat and all the Ne i l and gives no smoke. It has a gas-producer, stand' ing apart, in which the coal approaches the fire' place by an inclined plane, where it is heated gra' dually and parts with all its volatile products, which pass through the fire. The fuel itself is slowly consumed ; the carbonic acid—an Wan' bustible gas—is converted into combustible car bonic oxide by passing through the thick laye r of red-hot coal. Then below the grate a cistern of water gives off steam, and each cubic foot 01 this steam, as it rises and passes through the fire, is decomposed into double that quan tit y of hydrogen and carbonic oxide, which, being infle re : mable, increases the temperature. The whole et the heat-producers travel through the furnace an e enter one of four chambers of regenerators, as 1° Liemens calls them, which are built in the lower part of 'the structure. These four are used O W nately ; while one heats another cools, and the re' verse. They intercept the heat, which otherwise would fly from the chimney in waste ; and af ter passing through the gas and air reach the heating chamber, at nearly the heat of that chamber it self a heat so intense that, unless modified, it We illd fuse the furnace and everything exposed to its acti e l . No smoke escapes ; the heat in the chimney j 5 Se e i dom sufficient to singe wood ; and the saying of ftl , compared with an ordinary furnace is from 40 to o , per cent. For glass houses, steel smelters, wa nt/ - that re faeturers of iron, and any trade or process quires intense heat, the Liemens furnace is ess eir t tially suitable. As it economises all the h e : o derivable from the combustion of the fuel-5 0 or per cent. of which is now lost—it is not likely to be superseded in our day. The yearly savia gr o means of this furnace is far more than its cost. Liemens has lately established a steel smelting f". uace on his own account, at Birmingham, with P. 8,1 A feet success.

TIMES.—Two recent trials, conducted with great care, and betraying in both instances a natural jea lousy for and against a comparatively new institu tion, serve at least to show how much we might be at its mercy. There was a striking similarity be tween the case which occupied Clerkenwell Sessions house all Friday and another which occupied much attention some weeks ago, the only difference being that in the earlier instance the police were convicted of deliberate ccnspiracy, and therefore as deliberate perjury; and in last week's case of the lesser offence of violence in the discharge of their duty. Could we know the whole truth, it is possible the differ ence between the two cases was not quite so great. In both instances the policemen had good charae ters, and there is little to suggest that they were acting very differently from their wont, or other wise than they would be likely to do under any great provocation. The occurrence of two such cases within a short time will be a warning to gen tlemen of nocturnal habits, not very careful of ap pearances, and quick to resent interference, that they may any night find themselves in collision with the guardians of order ; that they may have to exchange very hard knocks with a gathering foe ; and that they may have to tell one story against an other before a police magistrate, and after that before a judge and a jury. No two accounts of the same transaction are ever found the same, and the chances of divergence, and even invention, are multiplied by the darkness of night, the confusion of a tumult, and the rapidity with which a night row proceeds from beginning to end. That the possibility of falling into an undeserved scrape should thus be brought home to us in a new and stronger light is itself a silent testimony to the general order of our streets and the efficiency of our police. The greatest bless ings and the most necessary facilities are just those which are only discovered by their loss or partial interruption. We don't know how much we owe to the quiet, unarmed, unobtrusive guard of our streets. The younger generation can have but little idea of the miserable creatures they have superseded. " Charlie," with his greatcoat and his large lantern, kept to the open thoroughfares, and proclaimed the hour of the night, that honest men might wake, and rogues get out of his way. Thieve dom flourished in those days, conquered whole re gions of the metropolis, and fortified them against the advance of order. So far as regards our civil security, London had to be reconquered, and it was reconquered by the new police. But there were those who said, even in those early days, that new brooms sweep clean, but will one day grow old— that it was no fair comparison between a new in stitution on its good behaviour, and an old one resting chiefly on use and abuse. The young, hand some, uncorrupted county fellows whom London then so much admired would in due time fall into the ways of the world, and deteriorate in their ways, as they certainly would in their appearance ; and, what was the worst of it, all at once, having entered the service, as it were, all in a day. That is nearly forty years a go , an d if the police are not invariably the active young fellows they were in the reign of George IV., they show no signs of moral or physical old age. They do their duty, on the whole, very well ; and are found thoroughly equal to many critical emergencies of a kind to try their courage and their temper. What shortcomings there may be in the results are traceable to our cus toms and to our laws, which cannot go ahead of the national usage, London keeps it up later o' night than any other city in Europe, and has more street scandals of one sort or another; but Londoners and the crowds of country people ever flowing into it choose to have it so, and Parliament and the police can only do their best under the circumstances. This, too, is a land of liberty, where everybody's house is his castle, where everybody is innocent till he is proVed guilty, and where from time im memorial there has been a sort of sacred war with ministers of justice, collectors of taxes, guardians of order, and all civil functionaries. It is, then, under peculiar difficulties, and rather against the national grain, that our police have to discharge their duties. They have to receive hard blows and hard words in an attitude and tone of self defence, and never to exceed the demands of the occasion. There are, too, men who on the strength of this passive . resistance which they know to be the duty of a policeman will go no further with him. In every such collision he is apt to find himself one against many, and must be quick if be would anticipate a rescue. On the other hand, the policeman has his advantage when the hearing comes. He is accustomed to the court, and can make reports. He has heard a good many contradictory statements, and knows what sort of assertion will have an air of truth and carry weight. He may not be much in favour at the Police-court, which is a Police-court only in name, having no special connexion with " the force ;" but he is up to all the questions affecting the public peace, and arising out of any breach of it. In his way he is a lawyer, and has thereby a great advantage over the man who very likely cannot go into the witness box, much less stand at the bar, without being utterly dumbfounded. If, as is often alleged, the police have their friends ; if they do not present a suffi ciently stern front to vice, even when it becomes a public scandal ; if they are too ready to accept small favours and irregular hospitalities, there arises the question whether the public does its duty to the police. There is a very general opinion that they are underpaid, that the service is not one to draw the best kind of men, and that its tone might be greatly improved by bringing every individual occa sionally into the presence of a gentleman, instead of superiors of his own class. Our police force is said to be the only body of the kind in the world that Municipalities for the Metropolis. Under the auspices of the Metropolitan Municipal Association, which has been formed within the last few months for promoting the better local govern ment of the Metropolis, and which has Lord Ebury for president and 15 members of Parliament for vice presidents, a meeting was held in St. James's-hall, Regent-street, last evening. Among those present were Mr. C. Buxton, M.P., who presided ; Mr. T. Hughes, M.P. ; Sir W. Fraser, Mr. J. C. Buck master, Dr. Farr, and Mr. G. Horton, of the Re gistrar-General's Department. The audience in cluded members of many of the metropolitan ves tries and other governing bodies. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said that the administration of the affairs of this great metropolis was a disgrace to us as Englishmen. Never in the world was there a nobler opportunity for self-government ; never was an opportunity more shamefully thrown away. Ilere, on the one hand, we had a city in itself a State, a kingdom, inha bited, one might almost say, by a nation of its own, with 3,000,000 of people within its borders, its real property alone producing £13,000,000 per annum ; and containing, moreover, boUndl ss sup plies of ability, energy, and public spirit, of English men accustomed to self-government, and imbued with a sincere desire, not only to be well ruled them selves, but to rule others well too. Such was the op portunity; what was the use made of it? Of govern ing bodies, no doubt, we had a plethora; but of organisation, of combination among them, so as to carry on their administration of affairs with eco nomy of power, of this at present we had none. As Mr. Horton, in his valuable pamphlet, pointed out —" The metropolis is divided into 37 districts for the purposes of registration of births, into 56 districts for the duties of the Building Act, into 19 divisions for police purposes, into 13 County Court districts, into 15 militia districts, and additional divisions for Inland Revenue, postal, gas and water, and Parlia mentary purposes ; so that a map must have 14 or 15 different boundaries to represent in each area the controlling powers." The first thing to aim at should be this—that the areas of authority should be the same, that London should be divided into cer tain districts, and that each of these districts should be completely self-governing for all and every pur- Pose, so that each householder should feel that he was a citi zen , as it were, o f t h at c it y. (H ear, hear.) Neat we sho u ld see k thi s, th at i n eac h o f th ese dis tricts every householder should be enabled to take a direct part in the election of those who were to go vern him a n d spend his acts of th ese s money. And, idly, that the authorities so elected should be done as far as possible under the public eye, and an account should be rendered b y ti se m m e o v n e be r ye y wa y iee e l yl a r had ae o di f i e t , b h et e eh i ne r stewardship to th ose who spending. If we want e d work to one vital thing wasTtstetwheervreotrhkeer should feel that he was watched. W e heard main a points g rea t t d h e a t oug ht to be kept in view. a l n owadays about the educating effect of local self government upon thepeople. Bad administration, w h e th e r local or imperial, was bad education. It made people even more selfish, narrow-minded, de spotic,and indifferen t to the p u blic good than th ey were before. On the contrar y , g oo d administration was the best of all raisededucaotinognst;hiotsewho ruled,on the cone thought and feeling among among those who were ruled. The associati on was not going to sweep away local self-government. The work it bad taken in hand, and which, by God's help, it would carry th rou g h, was to make it, so far as it could be, perfect an d pure. (Applause.) Mr. J. C. BUCKMASTER moved the first resolu , tion as follows : "That in the opinion of this meeting the present system of local government in the metropolis is highly inefficient and unsatisfactory, and requires immediate revision ; the number of local bodies now participating iu such govorn moat being unnecessarily large, and occasioning a considers able amount of unnecessary expenditure." He said that the association had no hostile feeling towards existing boards, and that it had no selfish or party purpose to promote. The requirements of the metropolis had outgrown the present system of parochial administration. He compared the high price of gas in London with its price in several other towns. (A. Voice—" Don't they get their coal cheaper?" and " Hear, hear.") Yes ; but all the products of gas manufacture fetched a far higher price in London than they did in other places, and that more than made up for the distance the coal had to be carried. (Hear.) Mr. T. HuGnEs, M.P., in seconding the resolu: tion, said he was glad when he was invited to join the association and when its bill was put into his hands. It was a bill he should be glad to see pressed forward in the House of Commons, because, whether one might agree with all its details or not, it was founded on a large and clear view of what was required, and it proposed a specific remedy. He had lately looked at this question as a representative b o e f r a f l a a n r g c i e e d m e thatt rop: e l i r t a e p n r Constituencysome. en S ti li t c y h ; a b in u e t thue found when he went into his borough that it was all chaos. He was born near a small market town, which possessed a good town-hall, whid would hold 1,500 people ; but Lambeth was destitute of a good room for a public meeting. He a mild give numerous other instances of deficiencies attributable to imperfect local government which had come up during his representation of the borough. There was, indeed, no corporate life in it ; and he hoped ere long to see something like municipal life in all the metropolitan boroughs. Without .that things would become worse and worse. In other large towns there were flourishing free libraries- A meet ing was held the other night respectir itg orte for Lambeth. The Free Libraries Act was conf;ulted, and it was found that it required a corporatilon to put it in motion. The case was one for a :radical reform. No one could doubt that there we re too many governing bodies, and that, with propt T or ganisation, three or four times the amount of work now done could be accomplished. An apt illostra tion of the cost of the present system was furnished in the following figures and facts, quoted from the association's address : " Marylebone parish collects £194,03G; Westminster city, £191,031; plus police and county rate—Marylebone, £38,167 ; Westminster, £78,814. The salary:and poundage are respectively—Marylebone, £7,711; Westminster, £17,462. Ilarylebone parish is managed by one vestry, and its administrative expenses are under £B,OOO per an num, while the five Boards of local management in West minster cost nearly £20,000. These five Boards employ 21 clerks and vestry clerks, six surveyors, four solicitors, nine officers of health, six inspectors of nuisances—all these officers being employed for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of the Metropolis Local Management Act." At least it appeared that much abused body, the Marylebone vestry, managed to do their work with considerable economy. (Hear, hear.) This huge city ought to be the best managed and the best lighted in the world, and the best supplied with water, instead of being in these respects, or some of them, perhaps the worst ; and it was, therefore, the duty. of every citizen to do what he could in the way of reform, and to save us from presenting to the world a spectacle of absurd incapacity in re ference to matters requiring very ordinary skill in our organisation and self-government. (Applause.) Sir Wu. FRAZER supported the resolution. He said that the government of London was inferior to that of almost every other town. No oue could doubt the evidence of his senses as to the streets being badly paved and covered with mud, and the gas being bad in quality and insufficient in quan tity. He would not burden their measure unneces sarily with details ; and he did not see the slightest necessity for making this a party question. In reply to numerous inquiries as to the exclu sion of the city of London, Mr. BUCKMASTER said that to have attacked the city of London would have raised a storm of oppo sition that the association was not strong enough in its infancy to encounter, but they were not precluded from dealing with the city of London when it could be done. The resolution was carried. Mr. J. BEAL, in moving the second resolution, said that it was not the object of the association to destroy any single element of local self-government, but to build up real municipal power in the metro polis. It was a mistake to suppose that the move ment in favour of municipalities was an attack upon vestries ; it was an effort to clothe them with dignity and power. He pointed out how powerless the divided vestries of the metropolis were to deal with joint-stock gas and water monopolies, especially as compared with the municipality of the city, and in sisted that the strength that would be derived from the union of the parishes in municipal boroughs would command more respect than was associated with deputations going to Downing-street to ask Government to do what municipal boroughs might do for themselves. The City Corporation went thoroughly with the association ; and when the rest of the metropolis had reached the position of the city, and had dune for the people what the Corpo ration had done for its citizens, it would then be time to talk of reforming the City Corporation. Some members of that Corporation had gone so far as to propose that £5,000 should be voted to each borough for the purpose of promoting the objects of the association. Referring to West minster, he said that repeated efforts had been made to induce its nominal Corporation to invest with reality ; but the present Dean, like his predecessor, said that he was not disposed to take any action in the matter. Ile moved the following resolution : "That any attempt to amend the existing system would be ineffectual, and that nothing lees than the establishment of municipal institutions similar to those enjoyed by other cities and towns in the kingdom would secure a government calculated to command the confidence of the inhabitants." Dr. Fine seconded the resolution, referring to some of the evils that resulted from the ill-organisa tion of the metropolis. Diseases had decimated the population, and they arose from the neglect of regulations which a municipality alone could carry out. The object now was to constitute the Metro politan Board of Works a great municipality, with 10 or 11 municipalities affiliated to it. Mr.E. HUGHES, of Woolwich, supported the reso lution, pointing out that the Woolwich District Board, which could not tax surrounding parishes, was debarred from providing a free library and un dertaking other useful measures, became they would be participated in by those who did not contribute to the cost. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. PHILLIPS moved the third resolution, that a deputation, consisting of vice-presidents of the asso ciation, with power to add to their number, should wait upon the Home Secretary to submit the fore going resolutions, and to urge upon the Govern ment the necessity of immediate legislation to carry out the suggestions therein contained. This having been carried, a vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. Last Monday Congress opened, and the PRESI DENT delivered his Message, of which a summary has been received through the Atlantic Telegraph cable. The summary informs us that Mr. JOHNSON adheres to his former policy, and urges Congress to adopt it. The Times alludes to this portion of the report as a renewed adhesion of the PRE SIDENT to his own reconstruction scheme. The PRESIDENT does not renew his adhesion, for "my policy" has never been dropped by him, and he has been consistent in his advocacy throughout. It was natural for the PRESIDENT to reiterate the sentiments he has held and now holds so strongly. But it does not follow that he will not give effect to the wishes of the nation, though he may consider the majority of the American people wrong in their determination. The elections which t e decidedse the plan of Reco ns t ruc ti on c ou ld h ave no effect whatever in ch ang i ng th e P RSIDENT ' S Opi nions,oa opinions i h o e n s i s whenevert oo honest the a m an opportunity n otfair l fairly t os offers. tate Time-serving is Joirssox can be a t e h c e u l s a e s d t , thing o e f b w e l h i e i c v h e t P h r e e r s e i d e e a n i t i. be little doubt of what his action will be.

He will p ro b a b ly veto evoelriye by Congress wh ch i s s t rong l y opposed toyß h tihlle as holdsepsed prin ciples of his policy. He will urge upon Con gress the reasons which lead him to reject their measures. lVhen failing in this course, and when his vetoes are set aside by the constitutional majority of the Congress, he will accept and carry out the Acts so passed. A man placed in his high position, actuated by very strong and honest mo tives, argues thus :—I have studied the subject deeply—l have means of making myself acquainted with the circumstances which no other man in the United States possesses. It is my duty not only to form a deliberate opinion, but where no doubt ex ists in my mind as to the wisdom of a certain course to endeavour by all lawful means to carry the plan I have deliberately adopted into action.. I have done my best to bring the nation to my way of thinking— in this I have failed. I will do my bestto induce Con gress to adopt my measures in this—in all human pro bability I will also fail. Then it only remains for me, in all truth and equity, to carry into execution the laws for which Congress and the nation arc responsible.
