Trade Outrages in Sheffield. On the opening of the Court on Saturday morn ing, Mr. Wragg, imager to Messrs. Slack and Co., saw manufacturers, said—Having a large order for chaff-cutting knives (which appeared to be ground by saw-grinders), some work was given out to jobbing grinders, and for this sonic, band, and knives were taken. The affair was settled in the usual way, by paying the demands of " Mary Ann," and the things were restored, all except one chaff knife, which could not be found, and which was paid for, and in witness's book there was an entry of 35. received from Broadhead on ac count of it. On a subsequent occasion bands were rattened because work had not been given to the jobbing grinders, that branch having amal►amated with the society of which Broadhead was president —an arrangement of which it did not appear that the witness was aware. In June, 1865, witness en gaged a grinder named Fearnehough (the man whose house was blown up in October last), and engaged a room in Butcher's grinding wheel, which was reputed to be secure against rattening. To make doubly sure witness engaged a night watchman. This was because Fearnehough was a non-union man, and worked with his own tools, which was against the rules of the union. Every body in the union gave Fearnehough a bad charac ter for drinking and neglecting his work, but witness had employed him ever since, and found him an ex cellent workman, and not at all the character he was represented to be. In July Thomas Smith, the secretary to the sawmakers, went to witness's works, and bad an interview with the men, and on the fol lowing Saturday (July 14) all the sawmakers gave a month's notice. The firm replaced them with non union men, six of whom were decoyed away by offers from the union. The firm went on with the rest. Thomas Smith, the union secretary, offered to end the dispute on condition that the firm dis missed the men and took on the old ones. That was declined, and early in November, a month after Fearnehough's house had been blown up, they re ceived a letter by post threatening to blow them up unless they dismissed the new and took back the old men. He produced the letter. The firm took no notice of the letter, and the threats were never put in execution. Jonathan Hazlewood, saw-grinder, gave evidence of having received threatening letters eight or nine years ago because he took and retained an apprentice contrary to union principles. Mr. James Davenport, grinding-wheel proprietor, was the next witness, and gave evidence as to his receiving a threatening letter to the effect that if Ilazlewood, who was grinding at his wheel, did not get rid of his apprentice another visit would be paid to the wheel. Shortly after the receipt of the letter the wheel was entered, several bands were removed, and damage was done to the doors and windoa's to the amount of about £2. The bands were never returned. Mr. David Ward, of the firm of Messrs. Ward and Payne,edge-tool and sheep-shear manufacturers, next gave evidence. In 1861 he was els!.sirous of engaging a carving-tool forger, named Addis, who was a London workman, and who at the Exhibition of 1851 obtained the only prize that was offered for edge-tools. As he was a non-unionist, Mr. Ward, before completing an engagement with Addis, de sired him to see Reaney, the secretary of the Forgers' Union,with respect to his being admitted a member. The committee of the society were sit ting when Addis visited Reaney, and the former offered to pay £l5 for the privilege of being admitted, and then to pay the usual weekly contribution. his offer, however, was not accepted, and the result was that Mr. Ward was unable to engage Addis. Some time afterwards, in consequence of some orders depending upon Addis being engaged upon them, he was taken into the employ of Messrs. Ward and Payne, and after he had been working some time, and had made several ineffectual at tempts to come to terms with the union, the 'a hole of the nuts belonging to 16 troughs, then being used by Messrs. Ward and Payne, were removed, and consequently, although he was then very busy, none of his work could be proceeded with. Mr. Ward sent to the secretary of the union. The re sult of the consultation was that Mr. Ward had to get rid of Addis. Moreover, Reaney said Mr. Ward would have to pay £3O for the week his men had been out of employ, and this demand also was com plied with. Mr. Ward afterwards set Addis up as a small manufacturer, in order' that he might do the work which he required time for, and which none other men in the trade could do so well. Jas. Addis, a carving tool forger, confirmed these I statements, and gave evidence as to his being as saulted iu a hotel. Before the assault the men said to him, "how many trades union meetings have we had through you ?" They locked him in the room and kicked him with their heavy boots, and he had two severe wounds on the head. The whole of the men were apprehended on a warrant, and three of them were each fined £5 and costs, while Jepson, the ringleader, for whom he interceded, was ordered by the magistrates to pay £3 and costs. lle had not since been assaulted. John Hague, member of the firm of Hague, Clegg, and Co., saw, file, and machine knife manufacturers, said that in May, 1863, their firm employed Fearne hough. lie was not on the list of men sent to wit ness by Broadhead, and Broadhead said Fearne hough was not a member of the trade. Witness said he would engage Fearnehough and take the consequences. Since the blowing up of his house Fearnehough had told witness that at that time Broadhead offered him ss. to take away the bands. While Fearnehough was working for witness, at the Arundel wheel, witness was rattened. Witness em ployed Fearnehough till he was afraid to stay any longer. A forger named Jas. Thomas told witness that he heard a grinder—he thought named Shaw— say—" I would blow the place up if they would give the word." Upon this information a policeman was at once sent for Thomas. Thomas was brought into court, and examined in reference to what he had heard Shaw say. He stated that Shaw said there was a man who had been to Broadhead several times to ask leave to blow the place up where Fearnehough was working for £5, but Broadhead would not sanction it. Fearne bough was not then working for Hague. Charles Staniforth was the next witness called. He said that he was employed by Hague, Clegg, and Co. up to June last, and was there when Fearne hough left, helping to remove some tools. Shaw did not tell witness he knew a man who would blow up Fearnehough's house for £5, but Broadhead would not sanction it. Neither did Thomas say so —but Thomas did say it could be done. Witness spoke to Shaw the week after Fearuehough left. Shaw said, " Old Toni has gone to Butcher's, and all's locked up there and you cannot get in." Wit ness was not in Sheffield at the time when Fearne hough was blown up ; he was at Manchester, nor did he come to Sheffield till about October. Broad head came to his place a time or two, but all be said was that " Torn had left," and they had fixed on witness to fill his place. Fearnehough left be cause his masters wera dissatisfied. Mr. 0 verend—You told me before he left because he was not safe. Witness—Yes, he was afraid of them rolling him up—that is, rolling his bands up. Fearnehough said to witness he would not pay any more as long as Broadhead was secretary to the union. He would see hint at hell first. Witness ,told that to Broad head. After Fearnehough was blown up, they said they would try to find it out, but he said they would not. Mr. Overend—Why did you say so? Witness was very much pressed on this point, but he said hi 3 chief reason was that he did not think they would, not even if they were to offer £l,OOO. This was his opinion. George Shaw, alias Putty Shaw, formerly em ployed by Fearneh oug h , said ha was a member of the union. Did not know if Fearnehough was in arrear, nor was he aware that there was any dis pute between him and the union. Did not recol lect speaking to Stainforth about Fearnehough not paying his contributions. No person ever told him he was disposed to do Fearnehough an injury. Never knew of any one wanting to blow the place up. Did not know who said he would do it for £5. Knew of no application to Broadhead to blow up the place, and Broadhead would not consent. Never told Thomas a man wanted to blow the place up for £5, but Broadhead would not sanction it. Would swear he never mentioned anything about such a matter. lie might, however, have said something, but had forgotten it. _ _ Overend —Now mind, Thomas said you told 1 - 1 7 m a man wanted to blow Hague's place up for £5. Now did you tell Thomas so ? Witness—No, it is false—quite an invention of Thomas's. Never talked to any one about the place being blown up. Had not seen Mr. Broadhead that morning, nor had he had any communication with him about this matter, nor with the committee, nor with any member of the committee. Had never spoken with any one as to what he was to say. Wm. 11 7 oodhead, saw grinder, said he was work ing at Hague's iu 1865, but was employed by Fearne hough. Never told Hague he might expect to be rattened , but he had said to Fearnehough, " Are you not frightened of your bands going ?" and that night he was rattened, though he was sure he did not know by whom. It was merely a suggestion of his, but he did not know why he gave it. Never said to Fearnehough' " You had better look out, you have not a minute to call your own." Did not know that Fearnehough at that time was giving great dissatisfaction to the union, or that he was an object of their abusive language. Mr. Clegg dis charged witness from the place after it was broken into. Clegg suspected witness when he dismissed him. He told witness that he (witness) had men tioned the night before that the premises would be entered. Witness answered he only made a sugges tion, but Clegg said he must know something about it. He would swear that he had received no infor mation about the premises being entered. He meant to say he made the suggestion with out any knowledge of what was to be done. Saw George Shaw that morning, and he left him at Broadhead's. He went to Broadhead's, and Shaw was there. (Shaw had previously denied seeing Broadhead.) Shaw and Broadhead were in the tap-room together. Did not know why he went to Broadhead. Had talked the matter over with him, but not with Shaw. He was with Shaw about five minutes. (This part of the witness's evidence caused considerable excitement in court.) George Shaw was then recalled. Mr. Orerend, addressing witness, said lie under stood him to say that he went very early to work that morning, and hal not heard anything about the matter before he came there. - Witness admitted he did say so. Mr. Overend—And you also said you had never seen Broadhead at all ? Witness said he thought not. Mr. Overend reminded him he had said he came straight a from work. Now is it true you saw Broad head this morning ? Witness—Yes. Why did you not tell us that was not asked. Yes you were. What did you go there for ?—I merely went to see what they had sent me that (showing the summons) for. Did you talk the matter over with Broadhead ? No. How dare you tell me, sir, that you had never seen Broadhead? Witness said he was asked if he had seen Broad head, and he answered, " Not more than three times since Christmas." lie was not asked if he had seen Broadhead that morning. Mr. Overend said they would send for the Go vernment reporter's notes, and in the meantime the policeman was not to let the witness leave the court. After a delay of about 20 minutes, the notes of the Government shorthand writer were procured. After reading the above evidence, Mr. Overend asked the witness if he was aware of the cmse quences to which he had rendered himself liable, and expressed his surprise that Mr. Broadhead should not have contradicted the witness, as he was present in court at the time that the evidence was given. He should take further advice on the subject of the witness's perjury, and he had no doubt wit ness would find out what trouble he had got himself into. The Court then adjourned until Tnursday, the 13th inst. JEFFER.SON DAVIS'S 01)1A lONS. The New York correspondent of the Standard fastens as much odium as possible on the chief he professes to admire. On Friday, 17th May, Mr. DAVIS received a party of gentlemen at his hotel, who, as old friends, readily obtained admission, and were taken into confidence. We suppose the corre spondent was one, as he appears to be fully ac quainted with thelong conversation that followed. In Mr. DAVIS'S opinion, the South would have done much better to refuse to reorganise the States under the Construction Acts. The Radicals would have been powerless to force reorganisation on the Southern people, and the sympathies of the North would ultimately have been excited if these suffer ings were patiently endured. Radicalism would have been swept from power, and the South re admitted to Congress on the old basis. The Northern Conservatives would have been strength ened by the Southern members, the PRESIDENT'S vetoes potent, the persecution of the South stopped, the confiscation scheme impossible, and the next Presidential election controlled. This programme may be very pretty in theory. The intimate knowledge displayed by JEFFER SON DAVIS of the whole position, more espe cially "of the feeling that animates Northern people, must have great weight, and cause bitter regret that he was not earlier consulted. Mr. DAvis's policy has already been so beneficial to the South, that few would feel inclined to dispute any doctrine he laid down. It is just possible that he separates too distinctly the Radicals from the mass of Northern citizens, and that he may have made this fatal mistake throughout his whole career. He admitted that there was some force in the argument that the South would be re-organised under any circumstances under the Military Acts, and that if the white people did not take the matter into their own hands, the Government would be placed in the hands of the blacks. But though admitting its force, he combated it by the asser tion that acceptance of Radical terms would roonit in nothing better. " The majority in Congress did not mean to recognise represen tative Southerners. They would receive only negroes and white men easily manipulated by the leading legislators. In fact as politicians the Radi cals would commit suicide if they should recognise State Governments, and Congressmen elected by representative population of the South." As the Radicals, however, have before them the political suicide of these very representatives when formerly returned, and the spectacle not being encouraging, they are unlikely to follow such an example, nor can they be expected to sacrifice themselves if Mr. DAVIS'S assertion is true that these Radicals have no real patriotism. Mr. DAVIs must, indeed, have lost his intellect if he talked all this rubbish. The party in power must conform to the will of the people, who intend to reconstruct their Government on the. principles for which they have fought and suffered. The Democrats seem always to have in view the intention of vilifying Democratic institu tions, however contradictory the statement may appear. Europeans become impressed with the conviction, from these assertions constantly repeated, that the United States are governed by a clique of unprincipled agitators, whose sole object is to ad vance their individual interests. It is not easy to reconcile such assertions with the devotion and sacrifices of the nation. But people are not here in the habit of thinking out questions for themselves, and they are content to accept these ridiculous and untruthful statements. If true, Democracy is a failure; and if it fails in the United States, it has little chance of success elsewhere. There is, how -1 ever, as much truth in these assertions as in the way in which England is often represented in the United States; —As a country trodden beneath the feet of an oligarchy—a land lying frozen in the cold shade of aristocracy—under a grasping, selfish, perfidious Government, that drains the life-blood of every State and colony, to gorge and fatten a privileged class. From politics Mr. DA VIS passed to the cotton crop, when he pronounced an opinion at variance with that generally entertained, estimating the coming THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 11, 1867. crop as a very small one. He was thoroughly fami liar with the disposition of the negro, who would abandon work, even on the point of starvation, to follow people who might offer rights and privileges new, and heretofore unenjoyed. If they abandon the plantations, the cultivation of cotton and other staples must cease. Hence, he held the general belief in a large cotton crop to be an error. The correspondent rejoices in the split the release of Mr. vio has caused in the Republican camp. "The Radical party," he says, " has well nigh gone to pieces in the agitation produced." Mr. DAVIS'S power must have had a miraculous increase since he collapsed at Richmond, if anything affecting him could now produce such a result. The Republi cans are mainly divided on the propriety of leaders of their party coming forward as security for the late President of the Southern Confederacy. We give elsewhere an article from the ul Table, which gives, with its usual force, the elevated view of the release of JEFFERSON DAVIS, an act of magnanimity on the part of the North, which, how ever strongly it may militate against the feelings'of many individuals—soured by frightful losses—is in accordance, with the general sentiment of the people.—Anylo-American Times. postal agencies and sale of British postage stamps in the Empire. If one literary celebrity retires from the diplo matic service of the United States another takes his place. Mr. Motley leaves Vienna, while Mr. Ban croft enters Berlin. He fills the place of the de ceased Minister, Governor Wright. He is well known to the diplomatic world, having been for merly Minister to St. James's. As a statesman he attains to the post of Secretary to the Navy. Judg ing from the remarks of the Nation, if his literary labours are to:be brought to a close, it is as well for him to leave the United States. "We should think he would be glad to tro abroad for a brief period, as he is at present remorselessly pursued by grandsons whose ancestors lie has assailed, and who are just a little too much for him. His rough treatment of Mr. Greene deprives him, too, of the sympathies of the public under the terribly severe handling which he in his turn has been receiving from Mr. Schuyler, who is a much fiercer assailant than Mr. Greene, and shows him no mercy. As the historian has only just entered on the Revolution, the pro spect before him must be admitted to be troublous, particularly as he will, before long, get down amongst the sons, who are a more powerful and truculent body than the grandsons." Salmon Fishery Congress. On Friday a large number of gentlemen, con servators of river fisheries, assembled at the Horticultural Gardens, South Kensington, to dis cuss the best means of obviating the natural and artificial obstructions which so injuriously affect our river fisheries at the present time. The chair was taken by Earl Percy, and among those present were : —Lord de Blaquiere, Sir John Scott, K.C.8., Lieu - tenant-Colonel Haworth, the Hon Edwin B. Port man, Colonel Pryse, M.P., the Rev. Prebedy.lar y Wilkinson, Mr. J. A. Blake, M.P., Mr. Higford Burr, Mr. T. Ashworth, Mr. J. Lloyd, jun., Dr. Peter Hood, Lieutenant-Colonel Rooke, Messrs. Scott and Ffennell, commissioners for English fisheries ; Mr. R. C. Whyte, Mr. H. Clark, Messrs. Frank Buckland and Spencer Walpole, inspectors of fisheries ; Colonel Cox, Mr. J. Dodds, Mr. S. Ponder, Mr. IV. H. Brougham &c. The HON. SECRETARY (Mr. Glass) stated that many letters had been received from noblemen and gentlemen who were unable to attend, approving of the objects of the congress. He read extracts from a paper sent by Sir J. Richardson, Bart., suggesting certain changes in - the annual and weekly close sea sons on the Tay, and produced a paper from Mr. Ashworth, who had also sent models of salmon lad ders, as had many other gentlemen. These models were in the room, as well as a number of drawings and plans of ladders, some of ladders now in exist ence, and others proposed. Mr. F. BUCKLAND read Mr. T. Ashworth's paper, in which he stated we might suppose our rivers to have been a few centuries ago as prolific in salmon as those in the State of Maine, where the produce of the two rivers Penobscot and Kennebec, of 500 miles l i in length, had been 180,000 salmon annually be fore any weirs were erected, and in thirty years this number of fish had decreased to 2,100 annually. The paper concluded by stating that the most im portant question to be discussed, so far as the English rivers were concerned, was that of provid ing funds to construct these indispensable means of enabling the fish to reprodtice their species. The conservators, might obtain authority, according to the present law, to borrow money on the security of the license duties ; but in rivers where the salmon ' had been nearly annihilated no adequate funds could be raised from the license duties. Mr. T. ASHWORTH then moved the first resolu tion—" That the object which the congress of fishery proprietors, conservators, and others have in view shall be the promotion of the cultivation of our sal mon rivers by giving the fish a free passage from the sea to the sources of rivers, by the removal or abatement of pollutions, millers' weirs, and obstruc tions, and to encourage the protection of the fish from poachers whilst in the rivers, and the improve ment of the fishery laws." The resolution was seconded by the Hon. E. B. Portman, and carried. Colonel PP.YSE, M.P., 'novel the second resolu tiou--" That as the salmon fisheries had to a great extent been destroyed by weirs, it was necessary that ladders should be erected over them." This resolution was seconded by Mr. C. Hambro, and agreed to. Mr. HIGFORD Bunn moved the third resolution—. " That as various rivers are seriously injured both by liquid and solid poisonous matters, and as it is necessary for public health and the supply of food for the people.that these pollutions should be pre vented, further legislation is urgently needed." Mr. JOHN LLOYD seconded the resolution, which, after some suggestions as to the purification of rivers was put and carried. The Rev. Prebendary WILKINsoN: proposed that the present committee, with power to add to their number, be authorised to make arrangements for future meetings of the congress, and that all chairmen of boards of conservators be ex officio members of the committee. Lord DE BLAQuIERE seconded the motion,which was agreed to. Mr. T. ASTIWORTII proposed, and D. Peter HOOD seconded the fifth resolution, thanking the special comtuissioners of the salmon fisheries for their services, regretting the death of Mr. Ffennell, and the resignation of Mr. Eden, an 1 impressing upon the commissioners and inspectors the necessity of an early inspection of the numerous mill weirs and obstructions in the salmon rivers of the kingdom. Colonel HAWORTH called attention to the York shire rivers, and urged that the commissioners should be provided with a definite plan ; and men tion was also made of the Devonshire rivers and their pollutions. Mr. SPENCER WALPOLE said that both he and Mr. Buckland were most anxious to visit every river, and would be glad to do so at the time judged most suitable by the conservators. He re gretted the unhappy clause in the act which gave the millowner power to remove any case of prosecu tion into the Queen Bench. He thought the ques tion of the pollution of rivers should be treated as a national one, as affecting the national health, not merely as a fishing question. Their efforts should be directel to induce the country to legislate gene rally on the question. The reiolution was passed, and the meeting then discussed the various advantages of the models and plans, which were explained by their exhibitors. PARAGUAY. The little State of Paraguay, away in the interior of South America, is too far removed from the civilised world too closely surrounded and shut in by its bitter enemies to be able to engage attention. Yet the struggle it maintains against the combined Empire of Brazil, the Argentine, and Uruguayan Republics will, when fully known, excite the admiration of mankind. At the fork of the rivers Paraguay and Parana a force of little less than 50,000 invaders is encamped, with a fleet of 10 ironclads, 14 other vessels of war, and more than thirty transports. The left, of this strong army rests on the fortress Curuzu, which stands on the banks of the Paraguay. That fortress is held by the Second Brazilian Corps d'Armde under the command of Viscount PORTO ALEGRE, who gained for the allies almost their only triumph over General LOPEZ in the capture of this position. The Brazilian fleet is anchored off the Fort, and communication is, by a difficult and round-about way, maintained with the rest of the army encamped at Tuyuty under the Bra zilian Field Marshal, the Marquis of CAXIAS, four miles distant, as the crow flies. The right of the main army is covered by a morass, and its left is in connection with a lake commu nicating with the river Paraguay. The great stronghold of the country is Humaitai but there is another alittle lower down called Curupaity, and in front of these fortifications tie Paraguayan Presi dent has blockaded the river with torpedos and stock ades, which have as yet prevented the passage of the Brazilian fleet. LOPEZ'S main position is at Britts, his right resting on the fortresses of Humaita and Curupaity, and his left so placed that he can either reinforce strongly both fortresses or throw all his strength to check an advance of the Marquis of CAXIAS. Between him and the Allies the ground is rendered difficult by marshes, lakes, and jungles. The plan of the Allies was to advance to the attack of Las Rojas, the extreme left of the Paraguayan position, and in case of success, which would turn the position of Lopez, throwing him back on his forts, to move straight on Assumption, the capital, leaving the two fortifications to the left. A simul taneous movement will be fiaade by General OSORIO with a force of about 3,000 men, to be rein forced by as many more on the move to join him at Candelaria, whence he will cross the river Parana into Paraguay, and march direct to the capi tal, distant about 240 miles by a good road through an open country : These attacks by the land fords will be supplemented by the advance of the fleet, which, under cover of the iron -clads, was to run the gauntlet of the forts. If successful in this, there will be no impediment to their advance on the capital, and the difficulties of the Paraguayan dictator will be almost overwhelming. However, it is easier to plan than to carry out, par ticularly against so devoted a baud as that com manded by LOPEZ. By ai vices from Buenos Ayres of the 26th of April we learn that General ORM ALEGRE had been compelled to evacuate Curuzu, cholera having broken out in the fortress. Dams Ayres was ravaged by the plague, the popu lation had in vast numbers fled from the town, where the deaths in one day had amounted to 100. Instead of the attack by the Allies in conformity with their programme, the Paraguayan Army had become more troublesome, showing no signs of ex haustion, but on the contrary an increased ac tivity. Indeed the Brazilians appear to be in a bad way, between cholera on the one side, and their indefatigable enemy on the other. The advices from Rio de Janeiro, of May 9, state, that the mediation of the United States between the belligerents had been formally declined by the Brazilian Government. No. doubt Brazil desires to await the result of her last great effort, in which, if she be defeated, her prestige among the nations of South America, now materially damaged, will be destroyed. The financial difficulties of the invasion may be estimated by the fact that the war costs her a million of dollars a day. On the whole this enterprise bids fair to teach that bully a useful lesson. She commenced the campaign in concert with her allies with a fool-hardy certainty of immediate conquest, and before she had moved a soldier she had settled the future disposition of the Paraguayan Republic. Two facts have been accomplished—the one, the future abolition of slavery in the empire; the other, a heavy and in creasing national burden. As LOPEZ cannot com municate with the sea, we have only the accounts of the Allies, which are meagre in the highest degree. Had they anything to boast of we would hear more from the theatre of battle, but no doubt when peace is concluded General LOPEZ will furnish to Europe—if he be still in the land of the living— a Paraguayan history of the war. The circum stances of the campaigns tell strongly in his favour. He has used the resources of his small state so as to withstand the combined invasion of nearly every nation around his own, led by an empire bearing the proportion to his country that the United States do to Kentucky. LOPEZ exercises the most absolute control over his fellow citizens, who seem to devote themselves un reservedly to his cause. The war has furnished numerous examples of his men electing certain death in obedience to orders, or where an advantage could be gained by such a sacrifice. The inhabitants seem to act as one man, giving up their property as readily as their lives in defence of their country. Hence their strength ; and in future years, when the details of their War of Independence —or of subjugation —is told, a thrilling chapter will be added to the History of Struggles for Freedom.—Aizglo- Anzerican Times. THE AMERICAN CONSUL AND TILE CHAMBER OF COMMEILCE.—On Thursday afternoon a deputation from the Chamber of Commerce, consisting of Messrs. Charles Atkinson, R. Jackson, S. Butcher, Joshua Moss, Thos. Jessop, Mark Firth, and W. C. Corsan, accompanied by Mr. Wm. Smith, secretary, and Ald. Fisher, had a lengthy interview with Mr. Abbott, the American consul, with reference to the requirements ho has been enforcing for the verification of invoices of goods exported to the United States. Those requirements, as our readers are aware, have been looked upon by many merchants as un necessarily severe and vexatious, and this deputation was appointed by the Chamber of Commerce to mako repre sentations to Mr. Abbott on the subject. Mr. Abbott, in reply, traced at some length the rise of the present system of collecting the revenue, and showed from the successive acts of Congress and from the instructions of the Secretary of the Treasury, that previous to the com mencement of the present dispute he had distinct instructions to call for invoices, and directions to use his dis cretion as to the 'means lie took for the detection or prevention of fraud. He said that he had selected the plan of calling for the invoices as the' least inconvenient method of putting his in structions into effect, for he had been given to understand that calling for samples would be par ticularly offensive, costly, and troublesome. He informed the deputation that it was a mistake to suppose that the original invoices were required only in Sheffield. They had been demanded in both Leeds and Bradford since July last, and ho read letters received from his Govern ment entirely sustaining him in the course he had adopted. The interview assumed the character of an infcrmal and friendly conversation. In the end it was understood that the deputation would recommend to the Chamber of Com merce the drawing up of a formal document to Mr. Abbott, suggesting a certain method, by which it was believed that while the check the consul would have on dishonourable traders would not be lessened, merchants would be able to transact their business without the inconvenience or trouble of which they now complain. Mr. Abbott under took to submit such suggestions to his Government, and hopes were expressed that the Treasury De partment would authorise him to adopt the proposed plan. The above from the Sheffield independent, will show that our consul at Sheffield, Mr. Abbott, who has been so violently assailed by certain merchants there for insisting on the production of invoices or bills of sale, to be by him certified there, has entirely vindicated himself, and shown that he has acted in exactvonformity with the instructions of the State Department. If the Chamber of Commerce of Sheffield can suggest any other method less objectionable to the Sheffield merchants than that ordered by the State Department, and equally efficient in checking dishonour able traders, we are sure that neither Mr. Abbott nor Mr. Seward would refuse to adopt it. Meantime, Mr. Abbott stands fully justified.—lron Age. TILE EMPEROR ALEXANDER. —Alexander the Second has a firm carriage, almost too rapid a walk to be called " dignified," and yet at once you feel that he is " every inch a king." He has moral as well as physical dignity in his manner and address when he pauses and speaks ; his eyes are blue and luminous —but sometimes, when the brow is drawn down, in observation, for instance, they darken into severity. His complexion is fair, but slightly bronzed ; his hair in youth must have been very light—it is now a soft brown, cut short; his moustache, like all the moustaches of the present day, is cultivated and cared for. His Majesty spoke little, but observed a great deal. Ho passed close to us twice ; returned the quiet but earnest salutations of the assembly, with smiles rather than bows—very sweet smiles for a gentleman who has numbered forty-nine years, when smiles generally suggest wrinkles ; but the Emperor of Russia's smiles will be sweet to the last, because they'are not frequent, but sin cere, and his lips and eyes smile in harmony.—Mrs. S. C. flail in the "Birmingham Daily Gazette." The bars in all the hotels at Boston were closed on Saturday night, May 18, and will remain shut for the present. " Henceforward," says the Post pathetically, "there will bo no bitters in the morning, punches at noon, or smashes at night—only water and lemonade, or other anti-spirituous concoctions." In a coal mine, near Akron, Ohio, recently, a miner, haying prepared a blast and set fire to the match, retired to an adjoining "room" for safety. After waiting a reasonable time, and the blast seeming to "hold fire,' he approached to a point where he could, with his body protected, peep around a corner to see what was going on. Just then the charge exploded, shooting the priming rod (a piece of gas pipe) through the man's head. Strange to say, he was alive and answered some questions more than 24 hours after the occurrence. Shubael Hutchins, of Providence, died on Mon day, May 20, aged 71 years. Ho was President of the American Bank, and represented the city for several years in the Legislature. John E.

The Helvetia from Liverpool, the Baltic from South ampton, and the St. Laurent from Brest, arrived at New York on Wednesday, and on that day the Peruvian reached Boston. _ _ The arrivals at the port of Dublin this week have been of an unusually varied character. Probably the most remarkable of the imports is that of a large lot of Scotch sheep (1,000) from Ayr, and there is a heavy cargo of petroleum imported direct from New York by Mr. V. O'B. O'Connor. Of wine and brandy the receipts are also conside rable, and a cargo of sugar has arrived to Messrs. ' Bewley, Moss, and Co. The other imports com prise large supplies of Indian corn, six cargoes having arrived from France alone, besides which there have been four cargoes of wheat and flour, likewise direct from abroad. The imports of Ame rican bacon are also _large. Fifty-six coal vessels have arrived. The export list contains the ship ment of a large quantity of coal-tar pitch to Mar seilles, and there is an increase in whisky, wool, butter, cattle, sheep, lambs, calves, and pigs. During last week the movements of the precious metals were on au extensive scale by the arrival of large remittances from America. The imports amounted to about £829,774, including £ll,OOO from New York by the Union, £182,590 by the City of New York, £88,886 by the Ilammonia, £268,700 by the Persia, £ll,OOO by the Tarifa, £ll,OOO by the Teutonia, £16,000 by the Ei in, and £56,016 by the China, announced to-day. 2he Douro, from the West Indies and Pacifie, brought £133,270 ; the Shannon, from the Brazils, £17,013; the lllassilia , from Alexandria, £2,500 ; and the Nyanza, £2,480. About £4,859 in silver were received from Portugal, and £24,520 from the Continent. The exports were £29,000 to New New York, by the Allemania, being an exceptional instance ; £4,160 in gold were sent to Spain ; anti remittances to the Continent, through private sources, estimated at £161,535, the total amounting to £185,695. Telegraphic communication has been restored between Sicily and Algeria. Extract from the letter of the special correspon dent of the Standard at Washington, dated May 24.—" The next monthly statement of the condition of the Finance will show a very considerable increase in the public . debt, and this will be the order of things for many months to come." On Thursday, when this letter was published, the following tele gram appeared, dated New York, June 5 :—" The monthly statement of the public debt of the United ' States shows a small decrease." We presume that the Standard had both the fact and the fiction, but it omitted to publish the fact, while it:published the fiction. The value of the writer's predictions may be seen when the prophecy and the event come to gether before the public. " The New York Herald," says this excellent authority, has " broken ground for the repudiation of the public debt. It thinks that as Mr. Davis has been liberated without trial, we have practically admitted that the war was un necessary. If the war was unnecessary we ought not to sustain the burden of the debt." Such an argument might appear sound to the correspondent, and it would be an admirable one for every spend thrift. There are few things on which money has been squandered, which might not be proved to be unnecessary, and this doctrine j ustifies the squanderer in repudiating his liability. The New York Herald is generally able to advance better reasons for its conclusions than the correspondent, in this case, has discovered in its columns. Roberts, the Fenian President, will soon be in! Europe ; but there app ears to b e a rev i va l o f th e Fenian excitement, previous to the calm which will I surely follow his departure. A Grand Council has been called to deliberate upon another invasion of Canada, and the Canadians apprehend an attack in the neighbourhood of Collingwood. The Hon. John Morrissey has had interviews with the Fenian leaders. General Spear will command the invading force. O'Connor has addressed a Fenian meeting! in Boston, at which General Spear presided. A newspaper has appeared in Chicago as the organ of the party. It is styled The Irish Republic, and professes to be a journal of liberty, literature, and social progress. It appears that Colonel J. P. Leese who recently arrived at Washington bad an interview with Juarez at San Luis Potosi on the 23d April.. Juarez informed the Colonel that if Maximilian fell into the hands of Escobedo nothing could save bis life. The Patrie of Wednesday says that, from telegraphic advices received in Paris, the Emperor was alive on the 20th May, and it therefore discredits the report that he had been captured and shot. Miramon made a sally from Queretaro on the 6th May, when an action followed, which lasted two hours. Mira mon returned to his lines, both sides claiming the victory. The news *Tim Vera Cruz of the 13th May is that Chapultepek had been taken by storm by the Republicans. The Diplomatic Corps arc stated to have suspended. their relations with the Imperial Government. The capital was bombarded on the 3d May. Corona had been appointed Com mander-in-Chief of the Liberal army, and he had issued orders that no quarter should be shown to the Imperial officers. Maximilian , Miramon, and Marquez were, if captured, to be shot. It is fur ther stated that the Austrian and Belgian corps of the Imperial force had been disbanded. The official Evening Post at Vennia, on Thursday, says : " Up to the present the rumour stating that the worst fate had befallen the Emperor Maximilian has not been confirmed by any despatch received by the Austrian Minister at. Washington. The fact that no news being received justifies us in hoping that the dreaded eventuality has not occurred." It is reported by news from Rio de Janeiro, May 9, that the British Minister is negotiating a postal treaty between Great Britain and Brazil, on the bases of reciprocity and suppression of the British INVESTORS. That the public are but little guided by common sense in their investments is shown by the extraor dinary rise that has suddenly taken place in stocks and shares. A few weeks ago none would look at securities now eagerly bought, although no change whatever has occurred in their intrinsic worth. Men move like sheep, all running in the same direc tion, speeding the more and gathering into a denser mass, the greater the alarm. If the leader jumps into a river or down a precipice, the others follow. If one stops with head erect and ears raised to gaze whence the alarm bad come, all stop, and look in quiringly. The whole flock partakes of the same magnetic influence, just as men do on a field of battle advancing with confidence and in ignorant security into the jaws of death, and flying in panic stricken herds when no danger threatens. It might be supposed that individual opinion and careful in vestigation would alone guide each in his invest ments ; but experience does not teach this, more especially in time of danger. The fact that a security is unsaleable, and therefore worthless, as market prices go, is a reason that none should pur chase it. When rapidly rising with many buyers, the reason is conclusive in favour of taking it up. Those who have been most loud in their condemnation of the " rubbish" are the first to boast of the splendid investment, because they happen to have been early in the rush, in the direction the flock was running. These shares were no more " rubbish" when despised and neglected than when favoured with public attention, and the fact that their fall and rally may follow quickly on each other is only a display of public ignorance and folly. The South Sea Bubble and the Tulip Mania are examples of the extravagance into which fashion may betray even business. It might be supposed that business would be exempt from the influences of fashion, but the extraordinary changes that a few months produce is a sufficient proof that the world is as changeable, and the rules which guide it in laying out money are as mutable as those that guide, in laying in a wardrobe. Indeed, a financial company is not unlike the female figure in the extraordinary change occurring within a year. Not many months have elapsed since a lady swept along the pavement or filled up a drawing-room with an expanded skirt, occupying an inflated space in the eyes of the world. To-day that figure stalks along like a stick, the substance the same, but the appear ance wholly changed. Just so has it been with many of these companies that paraded themselves grandly before the world, with all the accessories of swel ling crinoline. Then columns of newspapers were occupied with glowing reports, proclaiming large profits, huge dividends, names of directors, certili cates from auditors, while the shareholders con gratulated themselves, and were loud in their com pliments to the managers, ou the prosperity of their undertakings. Now, these concerns, shorn of their expansions, occupy little space, and are as reduced in their dimensions as a lady's dress. Directors are at present a retiring bxly, no longer flaunting themselves in the eyes of the public, and even more modest and unassuming than the female form in its altered aspect. But a change is coming o'er the spirit of the public's drea m. Companies that for except when a disap pointedterms of bitter re ortance. There is t p h r o e a l c a s h t , yasrei are main eg n ha o oi al o a n re e irs i h ns e pg a o r ik d netoi of, n m p no more real change in them than in the ladies, ex cept that they have grown older, and, we trust, wiser. They carried their crinoline expansion to a foolish extravagance, and the opposite extreme of fashion reduces them to smaller dimensions than they are in truth entitled to assume. Many of these com panies, it is asserted, resemble fashionable women in more than one respect. False hair, false teeth, and, if our Paris correspondent is to be credited, false ears, and even—false lips ! complete the disguise ; and if some of these companies have been as de ceptive, it will be no more than people are led to believe. During the past year the frantic rush of the panic-stricken public has crushed out of exis tence nearly all that - mere rotten, and many that were sound. Now that things are returning to their normal state those that have withstood the pressure of the torrent will hereafter be able to boast of their solidity, as having been tried by as hard a test as could well have been applied. The storm has been of tremendous force and of length- ened duration, and the atmosphere has been propor tionably cleared. The investors who have tena ciously clung to their shares, in companies possessing intrinsic merit will now reap their reward, and those who have had the discernment to see that the late contraction was even more unnatural than the preceding inflation, and have purchased on; their own judgment, running counter to the throng, will secure a rich harvest. '.['he effect of the American War on commerce was to direct the precious metals to India and lEgypt, where they were absorbed as a sponge absorbs water, disappearing and making little siga. The ly going on, was by this probablelead that the contraction caused ulbloaystti.tohneunpuaot it is n w ic s o w r il p the great centres, and that the bullion in the vaults of the chief banks of Europe will reach a point never before attained. It is therefore likely that the rise which has recently occurred is but a prelude to a more general increase of value in all securities, and we may witness what improbable, the English Conso ls selling at par. We not - long since was sup posed to be highly can only hope that the rally may be in time to save many families, who for months have st oo d on the br i n k o f ru in, and that 0 the experience o . anied may be utilised, •so as in j some measure to prevent, these violent and un treasonable fluctuations in the future.— Anglo ' American Times. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA V. WAGNER.—In the Court of Chancery, on Saturday, the Ist inst. (before the Lord Chancellor and the Lords Justices of Appeal), the aguments in this part-heard appeal from an order of Vice-Chancellor Wood, which were commenced on Wed nesday last, were this morning resumed and concluded. It will be sufficient to state, as the case has been already reported in the Time 3, that the bill was filed by the United States of Ameri ca against the we ll-k no wn finn of Fraser, Treuhohn, and C o . , of Liverpool, who w ere the financial agents in this c ountry of the late Con f e d er ate States of Ame rica. The bill alleg,d that the plaintiffs had recently dis covered that the defendants' firm hal front the conunence ment of the rebellion, iu their capacity of agduts to the Confe derate States, received divers ships, moneys, and goods which formed part of th e public proper ty of the Confederate States. Thephtintiff s c l a i med to b e o wners of all such public property of the l a t a C on f edera t e States, and by their bill asked for au acco un t of all moneys , s hips, goods, and other property which halat any time come to the hands of the defendants as agent s or trustees f or the Confederate States, and that the def en d ants might b e or dered to pay or deliver whatever, on taking such accounts, shou ld be found due from them, or in th e i r possess i on o r power. A demun•er had been put in t o th e bill, on the ground that t he p laintiff s were not entitled to sue in this court without placing on the record the name of some public officers, as representing their interest, upon whom process might be served to give disco very upon a cross bill. The Vice-Chancellor allowed the demurrer, and from that order the plaintiffs appealed. Sir R. Palmer, mr.*G. M. Gin n ], Mr. Druce; Mr. Wickens, and Mr. T. Hu g h es appeare d i n support of the appeal ; Mr. W. M. Jam es , M r , K ay, M r . C.,11a11, and Mr. Ben jamin were. for the defendants. Their Lordships reserved judgment. Horace Greeley. • h ORACE GREELEY has raised a storm of indig nation in becoming security for JEFFERSON DAVI S ' The act for which he is so bitterly attacked is little in keeping with what he said, wrote, and did within the last six years. The strong point of the New York Tribune was the immorality, not only of th e cause for which the Southern leaders contended, bu t of their deeds in upholding the unjustifiable position. Mr. GREELEY is responsible for the opinions of th e Tribune, and the Tribune has lost no opportunity denouncing the high crimes and misdemennou r r a , of the governing clique direct e d by Mr. DAVIS. 11 the Tribune was right, it was no mere political dif" ference that divided the champions of the Northern and Southern cause. Not only did Mr. GREELE Y hold that Mr. DAVIS fought for an unrighteous en d, but that he used iniquitous means to accomplish O object. It was not a mere honest difference °f opinion that separated them, but principles 0 ' action, calculated to sever for ever those wh ° truly believed the denunciations they lost 1 10 op portunity of uttering. The world would sup Po se that Mr. GREELEY was prompted by the w i s h to soothe political asperities, to furnish a striking in° stance of forgiveness and reconciliation. But Mr. GREELEY'S main reasons, as given by hi m self, ar e that JEFFERSON DAVIS could not have been co n " victed in Virginia without packing a jury, and, t hat , the prisoner's counsel desired him to become one o.f the bondsmen. The first is an assertion, which, if even true, had nothing to do with Mr. GREELEY; the other, ridiculous in its absurdity. It is wonder that public opinion should run strongly against a curious proceeding, defended on n° better grounds. When JOHN MINOR BOTTS wa s pulled up by a friend for his part in this transaction, he answered " that he would not permit dictation in such matters," and he had a right, while al lowing others to judge of his conduct, to refuse a reply to their animadversions. Had he simply eon' fined himself to this, he would have said all th at was necessary ; and though his reasons, which W t t 1 here detail, are better than Mr. GREELEY'S , 1 , would have been wiser to have adhered to his r i g ht of private judgment, without admitting the neces sityic of justification. First, he thought it w ow " have a harmonising influence ; second, he ° II ; sidered that Mr. DAVIS had been kept in Pris ° a long enough without trial ; third, Mr. JOHNSON ba imprisoned him, and he wanted to exercise " "nag nanimity ;" and lastly, he thought the Republi can party interests demanded the step." Mr. GREELEY has, however, undertaken t° lighten and direct Northern opinion, and he ca n complain if he has succeeded so well that the sen t• ment he has mainly helped to form, ends by con' demning himself. According to the Tribune , fi r ' DAVIS has been guilty of upholding an unrigh te° cause by unrighteous means—of endeavouring to. gain base and selfish ends without regard to the ol d ' jury inflicted on others--of wasting the blood a ° treasure of the nation—of vilifying his countrY o and of doing all this, by a c t s s o grossly inlra er that no honest man, under any possible circunlii; stances, could have adopted th em . These are doctrines expounded by the Tribune, for which 7; GREELEY is responsible, and the people are n°' El little shocked in judging of the f a ith gr. GEE I- ' seems to have reposed in his own declarati ons ' when he is seen thrusting his name whe re ~ was not required, as a bondsman for the Pi,rlEos cipal culprit. That the cause for whic h b e fought and STONEWALL JACKSON died, sb°` - bu t denounced in these terms may be unfair, is HORACE GREELEY, more than any other Ennul in , the author of such denunciation. Poes be ea tend this act as a recantation, or has he be ll , merely seeking additional notoriety ? Si s fby duct in this instance has been condemn ed an open vote of censure of the Union League Club, a body composed of the mos t P rO d minent, the most upright, and the most talent r. men of the United States. We have not seen I ora GREELEY'S explanation, which we may ge t bef b e we go to press, but we cannot help thinking th at „ e did really hope that he was offering the (mud branch and pouring oil on the t r oubled waters' 3 11 d if so, however i nc o ns i s t en t hi s con duct, we 1 ' .°1 . , be slow to condemn him.—Anglo-American COUNTRY MARKETS.
