IMPERIAL PARLIAM ENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MONDAY. Parliament reassembled to-day, after the Easter recess, but at - the hour at which the Speaker took the chair (fiv( minutes to four), there was a very thin attendance of members. THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third time and passed —Caledonian - Railway (Additional Powers) Bill; Reading Local Board of Health Bill. SECOND READINGS. The following bills were read a second time :—Burnhoan Tidal Harbour Bill ; Caledonian and Gla.sgow and South Western Railway Companies ; Edinburgh Royal Infirmary Halifax and Ovenden Junction Railway ; Imperial Continental Gas Association; Milford Haven Dock and Railway; Newry and Greenore Railwry ; Owens College Extension.-- Mr. NEVILLE GRENVILLE presented a petition from Bridgwater, praying that the bill for the disfranchisement of Bridgwater may not pass into a law. EPPING FOREST. .Mr. BERESFORD HOPE asked the First Lord of the Trea sury whether he could inform the House of the measures which he proposed to adopt to secure the continued en. joyment of Epping Forest to the public. Mr. GLADSTONE said the pledge given by Government on the subject had not been neglected, and measures were in progress which he hoped would result satisfactorily, but they had not yet advanced sufficiently to enable him to give the hon. member a definite answer. THE FRENCH TREATY. Mr. VANCE asked the Secretary to the Board of Trade if our Ambassador at Paris had suggested that two English merchants or manufacturers should be examined before the French Commission of Inquiry respecting the Commercial Treaty now in force between England and France, and, if so, upon what principle those witnesses were to be selected. Mr. OTWAY : A suggestion had been made, as the hon. member stated, and a communication had taken place on the subject between the Board of Trade and the Manches ter Chamber of Commerce. The subject under considera tion related to cotton manufacture, and there was nothing special required of the persons selected beyond being fully acquainted with the subject he had mentioned. THE DISFRANCHISEMENT OF BEVERLEY AND BRIDGWATER. In reply to a question from Mr. NEVILLE GRENVILLE, The ATTORNEY GENERAL said he could not consent to postpone proceeding with this bill until after the trial of the parties charged with corrupt practices at Beverley. The Crown was not to blame for the delay that had taken place, and, further, an offer had beem made to take the trial to London, but it had been declined. The trial now could not come on until the end of July, and to postpone the bill until then would be to endanger its passing during the present session. There was nothing that he could see in the charges made against the Bridg water Commissioners that would justify any postpone ment. CONVENTUAL AND MONASTIC INSTI TUTIONS. Mr. NEWDEGATE complained of persons outside the House having made use of certain expressions with regard to his conduct as to conventual and monastic institutions. He also condemned the course pursued by certain news papers, and particularly referred to a paragraph in a Dublin paper, which he said contained a compendium of libels. He was prepared to uphold the truthfulness of his statements in the House on the subject in question, save one, in which he stated that a young woman under 16 years of age had been induced to enter a convent, and he mentioned Hammersmith instead of Finchley. (Laughter.) THE BRIGANDAGE IN GREECE. In reply to a hon. member, Mr. OTwAY said that it was with deep regret that he had to state that information had been received that the English captives in the hands of the Greek brigands had been put to death. No effort had been spared to obtain their release, but the brigands being attacked by the Greek troops, killed their captives. Such was the infor mation which had been received at the Foreign Office. 'the Government were waiting with deep anxiety for de tails of the massacre. They had every reason to believe that Lord Muncaster was safe. THE PURCHASE OF ARMY COMMISIONS. Mr. Muvrz withdrew the following. motion, of which 'he had given notice :—" That the system of purchasing commissions in the army is injurious. WAYS AND MEANS. The House then went into committee on Ways and Means, when the remainder of the resolutions to carry out the proposition of the Chancellor of the Exchcquer were brought forward and agreed to, and the House re sumed. THE NATURALIZATION BILL. The House next went into committee on this bill, the preamble of which was postponed. The first, second, third, and fourth clauses were, after some discussion and after several amendments had been proposed, adopted. Mr. M`MAnoN suggested that the fifth clause should be omitted, inasmuch as it seemed as if they were going to alter an established principle of law with regard to the trial of aliens. The clause, however, was adopted. Clauses 6,7, 8, and 9 were agreed to. On Clause 10 being proposed, Alderman LAWRENCE said he thought e rights of married women were not properly protected in the bill. As the clause stood, there was no power to prevent a wife being made an alien against her will. When she entered into the marriage state she did not, according to his view, give up her right as a British subject. He hoped, on the bringing up the report the defect he had referred to would be altered. The ATTORNEY GENERAL said it was almost impossible for Parliament to provide against conceivable hard cases. It appeared to him that it was only possible either to enact that married women should take the status of their husbands or not, and the best arrangement in his opinion was to choose the first. Children born in this country would all be British born subjects. Mr. KINNAIRD thought the proposal a very hard one upon women generally. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL thought the objection theo retical only, as the clause did not affect her right to pro perty in the slightest degree. Sir R. PALMER thought the clause as it stood in the bill was the best and safest enactment the House could adopt. _ _ Alderman LAWRENCE could not approve of a clause that handed over a wife as a chattel to her husband, because it was supposed that that was the easiest way of dealing with a difficult case. Mr. JEssEI thought the clause was quite in accordance with international law. The general rule was that the nationality of the wife always followed that of the hus band. The clause was then agreed to, as were the remaining clauses of the bill, and the House then resumed. _ WAR OFFICE BILL. • On the order for the third reading of this bill, Mr. FIELDEN moved that it be read a third time upon that day six months. He had found that it was a bill which appointed two new Under Secretaries in the War Office, with seats in that House, and a salary of £1,500 a year each. He objected altogether to the appoint ments proposed ; and there could not, ho contended, be any necessity for their having a seat in the House, believ ing that the Secretary of State for War was quite capable of answer i n g questions relative to the department. He thought the proposition to create two new offices came with a very bad grace from the Government which had been effecting a reduction of the labouring staff at the, dockyards and of the armyand navy. He pointed out that the proposition, if adopted, would give the Government two additional supporters. The time, he also held, was altogether inopportune, and he asked what the men who had been dismissed from their employment would say. He believed they would stigmatise the bill as a Whig job. Wile argued, there was any necessity to reduce the number of employ& it was unnecessary to appoint more clerks. No man engaged in commercial pursuits would dream of appointing more and highly-paid officials at the same time he was reducing his establishment in other respects. Such men would not work, but they would give the Government two votes, and his opinion was that that was the object of the bill. LORD ELCRO, who had given notice of an amendment, that the bill be recommitted, said the bill had excited through the various stages, very little attention. He had objected to its third reading at an hour when very few members were present, and he did so on the ground that it had not received that consideration which a measure of its importance demanded. He felt it wa:. quite right for the Secretary • of War to do ab in his power to bring about a better state of things than at present existed at the War Office, but he questioned whether the Davolutment of A clerk of the erd4Ance a financial secretary was exactly the right way to do a , The great mistakes that had occurred years ago weremainly due* to over-concentration, yet now the Government pro. posed more concentration than ever. He thought that the office of Controller-in-Chief would fail, because it was proposed to put more duty on one man than he could do. He was to be resPonsible foi the clothing of both man and horse,. medical stores, clothing, transport, the guns, and other duties which no single person could effectually per form, yet such was to be the work which was to be cast on the new clerkship. He hoped that in the reconstruction of the Nar Office the House would not be led away too much by the idea of unity of control and unity of responsibility. Mr. STANSFELD r eplied that no new office involving charge would be created, and that no expense which led to improved organisation, and therefore greater economy, would be money thrown away. Sir J. PARINGTON concurred entirely in the one object of the bill, knowing from his own experience that the Secre tary for War was the hardest worked of all the Ministers. Mr. CARDWELL enforced Sir J. Pakington's argument by asserting that no one man could discharge all the duties of Secretary for War. Replying to Lord Elcho's criticisms, he explained that though the entire control of all supplies would be concentrated in one head, there would be a divi sion of Departments below. The bill was then read a third time, and passed by 80 to G. On the second reading of the Poor Relief (Metropolis: Bill, Dr. BREWER moved its rejection. Mr. Torrens, Mr. T. Chambers, Mr. W. 13. Smith, and Mr. Harvey Lewis spoke against the hill, but Sir H. Hoare, Mr. Locke, and Mr. Hardy approved the object of the measure. The bill was read a second time. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then moved the second reading of his bill for disfranchising Bridgewater and Beverley, sup porting his motion by copious extracts from the past electo ral history of these two peccant boroughs. After some discussion the bill was read a second time. The Norwich Voters Disfranchisement Bill was read a second time. The Mines Regulation Bill was committed pro forma, and Mr. Bruce fixed the next stage for May 26. The Wine and Beerhouses Act (1869) Amendments Bifl was read a second time. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL brought in his University Tests Bill, which was read a first time. The House adjourned at 23 minutes past 1 o'clock. MURDER OF A. NOBLEMAN AT ST. PETERSBURGH. A trial is now going on in St. Petersburg which is ex citing great interest. It concerns the murder of a noble man, M. de Zohn, last November. Under the new crimi nal code of Russia, which greatly resembles that of France, the crininals were tried by jurymen. The court was crowded in every available corner, and an immense crowd assembled outside to catch a glimpse of the prisoners, of whom there are six, the eldest being only 26, and the youngest 16. The cirsumstances of the murder were circum stantially narrated in the act of accusation. On the evening of the 19th of November, 1869, the super annuated court councilor, Nicholas de Zohn, went to the Nobility Club, which he left by ten o'clock. Since that time he was missed, in spite of the most active searches of the police. On the Ist of January of the present year an artisan of St. Petersburg, Alexander Ivanof, called at the office of the detective police, and declared that M. de Zohn had been killed in his presence during the night of the 7th or the Bth of November, in the house belo ng i ng t o T our , situated in the Sparsky Perdvulok, and in the lodgings of Maxime Ivanof, a burgess of St. Petersburg; it was Maxime Ivanof who had committed the crime, with the assistance of persons living in his lodgings. M. de Zohin's corpse had been put in a trunk, and sent to Moscow by rail on the Bth of November. A telegram from Moscow confirmed that at the station of the Nicolai Railway there was a trunk which had not been claimed by anybody, and which had arrived on the Bth of November. That trunk having been opened, the co r p se o f a man was found in it. During the inquiries set about upon that crime, Alexander Ivanof, an artisan of St. Petersburg, the peasants Anthony Gratchef and John Fedorof, and tho woman Alexandra Ardeief, a native of Cronstadt, ac knowledged having taken part in M. de Zohn's murder, while Dania Tourbine, th e d aug ht er o f a so ldi er, avowe d having concealed that crime. They had robbed him of his money while he was drinking in Maxime Ivanof's house, a theft which he returned to charge them with threatening to go the police. There was a large disre putable party of men and women in Ivanof's house, and most of them seem to have been concerned in the murder. M. de Zohn, on protesting about the loss of his money, was assured by Ivanhof that it was only a joke, and invited to drink in token of reconciliation. M. de Zohn appears to have agreed to this, and sat down on the divan, but the drink which was given him was poisoned, He fell back on the divan, crying out that he was poisoned. when the miscreants attacked him in the most barbarous fashion, one of them forcibly pouring some more poison into his mouth, another beating him on the head with an iron ; a third pulling a leather strap round his neck, and a fourth, Alexandra ArdJief, a girl 18 years of a j ge, played on the piano and sang t o d rown th e victim's cries. Another girl is accused of concealing the crime though she took no part in it. When the assassins made sure their victim was dead they washed off the traces of blood and sold his garments, afterwards buying a large port manteau and putting the corpse in it. The corpse was dressed in a shirt, a waistcoat, a pair of drawers, and a black neckerchief. The leather thong was still tied round the neck. The empty places in the portmanteau were filled up wite rags and hemp ; it was tied up with a rope on which they affixed many seals of red wax. The pro duce of the sale of M. de Zohn's effects was divided by Maxime Ivanof among the accomplices of the crime who received 10 roubles 30 copecks each; but by order of Maxime Ivanof every one gave back four roubles to John Fedorof, who was to bring the corpse to Moscow, there to get rid of it in any way. In the evening the portmanteau containing the corpse was brought in a cab to the station of the Nicholai Railway. John Federof occompanied the portmanteau, and he was followed by Maxime Ivanof and Alexander Ivanof. It was forwarded under the assumed name of Koltzof. As soon as Maxime Ivanof came back home he burnt the receipt of the railway. Maxime Ivanof is charged with voluntary homicide, and the four others with being accomplices. A sixth, as we have said, is accu.ssed of concealing the crime. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 26, 1870. ' complications are the benefits accruing to England from her North American possessions. One would suppose that three miles from the shore was not a difficult matter to interpret, but the doubt has arisen as to whether the line should be drawn from headland to headland, or merely round the Bay at the marine league. The colonial fisher men interpret it from headland to headland, which would exclude the Americans from the best grounds The Ame rican fishermen claim the right to cant their line anywhere beyond the prescribed distance. The interpretation from headland to headland bears on its face the refutation of the claim ; but who is to be the judge of distance, even supposing that all the rest was agreed to, as a man cannot step overboard with a foot-rule, and one person would be ready to swear he was ton miles away from the land, on which he could easily throw a biscuit, while another might be peremptorily ordered off a coast he could barely discern. Such regulations appear to be made simply to cause trouble. The Buenos Ayres papers give full accounts of the defeat and death of Lopez. General Camara seems to have divested himself of all sup , rflaus baggage, and pushed on by forced marches in pursuit. He had plenty of evidence of the straits to which Lopez had been re duced in the half-starved and almost naked prisoners captured, and it was known that horses had been killed for food, and even Lopez had to prosecute the toilsome march on foot. On reaching the Aquidabam, Lopez halted his men, not dreading molestatation, as Camara was thirty leagues distant. The Brazilian General had, however,divided his force into two columns, and with some light cavalry he marched 50 leagues in two days and nights so surprising Lopez, that his party of 700 men had barely time to arm before he was upon them. Lopez was struck by a spent ball, and was killed slashing away with his sword by a Rio Grande trooper while Camara vainly called upon him to surrender. Madame Lynch and her children escaped to Cabellero's vanguard. Major Bento Martins was sent in pursuit of Caballero, and came upon him on the 25th Feb., capturing nearly all his force and baggage, but the Paraguayan General and Roa, escaped, Mrs. Lynch's eldest boy, Pancho, 15 years of age, was killed, as also another of Lopez's children, 10 years old, by Juana Pezoa. Vice- President Sanchez, Minister Caminos, Col. Aguiar, chief of staff, and others were Rifled. Two sisters of Lopez and his mother were taken prisoners, and are to proceed to Buenos Ayres; Mrs. Lynch is coining along, it is said, in a bullock cart to be packed off to Europe. That the old lady, Lopez's mother, or his sisters should have been in the land of the living at all tended to confound the Brazilians, but they have now ascertained positively that he was going to shoot all three on the day of his death ; indeed, it is the old story of Blue Beard of " Sister Ann ! Sister Ann ! do you see any one coming" ? The murder of three Eng lishmen - named Nesbitt, Hunter, and Young Taylor, is mentioned. When his position became desperate, Lopez called them to his tent, and giving them a round sum of money, told them to leave for the Allied lines. They were stopped, however, on the road by a Paraguayan guard, shot, and robbed; and the guard was captured by the Brazilians, who soon after came up. A proclamation is expected from Brazil declaring the war to be at an end, the honour of Brazil avenged, and the Slave Empire, aided by the City editor of the Times, will soon appear in the London market as a borrower, the finances of Brazil being, of course, "in a most satisfactory position." Mr. J. T. Setter left the Red River on the 22d of February, and arrived at Toronto on the Ist of April. He speaks of the discontent among his brethren of the Portage, who, from independence, had been coerced by Riell into subserviency to the Provisional Government, which they repudiate. They attribute collusion to the Scotch settlers, who, they assert, kept Riell posted on the movements of Boulton's party, instead of joining it. Riell can muster from 400 to 500 well-armed men, all excellent shots. Setter attributes the origin of the insurrection to the priests and the Hudson Bay Company, aided by Ame rican wire-pullers ; but, except the French half-breeds, the population will rise to assist the troops either of the Imperial or of the Canadian Government. The Toronto Globe thinks Riell's force will be augmented by the return of the hunters. The route from Lake Superior to the settlement is not difficult to traverse, and that paper recommends the employment of Indians, though op posed by many worthy men. The New Nation asserts that all the inhabitants, from the Lake cf the Woods to the Rocky Mountains, are of one mind against the rule of the Hudson Bay Company. The hunters, it says, will not allow a few adventurers in London to sell their hunt ing grounds, and the Rod men join the o:,hers in repu diating the Company's action in bartering away the country. A postal treaty has been concluded between the North German Confederation, the Austrian Empire, and the United States, "reducing the rate of letter postage by di rect steam communication to seven cents, and ten cents vie England. The old rates were ten cents direct, and fifteen cents via England. It was stated some time ago that the French Government had sent their late Minister, Barthemy, to the United States with instructions to open negotiations for a new postal treaty with the United States. It appears, however, that he has received no such instructions, and up to the latest date the French Govern ment has not indicated, nor does it seem desirous of open ing negotiations on this subject." Tea steamers have left Liverpool this week,neal ly all for the United States, carrying about 7,000 emigi ants, and the exodus has commenced as we anticipated, throw ing into the shade the numbers of former years. On Wed nesday three steamers left with 2,300 passengers. The Rolland, of the National Line, had 890 on board, and was to take 345 more at Queenstown ; the Manhattan had 820, and at Queenstown received au additional 270. On Thurs day two steamers left the Mersey with 1,600 passengers, and to day three sail. From London emigration seemstc be little less active than from Liverpool, and we are not surprised, from a telegram dated New York last Thursday, to hear that 7,000 Irish and German immigrants had ar rived there during the previous two days. We may hero mention that we have received a letter dated March 19, trom Portland, Oregon, wherein the writer informs us that ho is about to place himself in communication with the secretary of the newly-formed National Emigration League of England, with the object of forwarding to it information respecting the coast, prospects, and resources of that State. The writer is an Englishman, whom a combination of circumstances had led not long since to settle in Oregon, and however unfortunate these circum stances may have appeared at the time, he now sees no cause to regret. "This," he says, "is a fine field for labour and aricultural emigration, also for artisans, or those with money to invest in business or at loan as 10 to 12 per cent. is the rule here on the very best securities." The City of Brussels has arrived, or at least she is reported as having passed Crookhaven at 8 a.m. on Thursday. Her passage on the whole was quicker than we anticipated, considering that she was little more than 600 miles from New York when the accident occurred. She is a splendid steamer of 3,000 tons, 406 feet long, 40 beam, 281 deep, with four decks, divided by water-tight compartments. Her engines are on the horizontal trunk principle of 600 nominal horse-power, but capable of in dicating 3,300, with all the late improvements, and fur nished with 28 furnaces, arranged fore and aft on each side, and fired athwartship. She was provided with three spare new suits cf sail, and being a fast vessel, as her screw had been completely carried away, and was therefore no drag, had it not been for the easterly winds she would have reached port earlier. She left New York on March 28, and lost her screw three days after, on the 31st, having made 627 miles. No Inman steamer sailed from New York oa Saturday, April 9. The following are the cabin passen gers in the City of Brussels :—B. Lawrence and wife, Geo. Jordan, James S Laney, George Mathews, J. C. White (U. S. Consul to New Zealand), W. W. Ramage, William Williams, C. N. Chamberlain, Mr. and Miss Shields, Frans Alberney, D. D. Cohen and wife, Emerson Foote, Captain Gadsden (steamship Arago), Captain J. Slaphlin, George p. Abbott, J. H. Renforth, D. H. Flershehn, Captain Black, Jrs. Frazer and two children, J. F. Harrison, and C. P. Carr. The Sheffield Daily Telegraph has come to grief through, what it asserts to be, 'the zeal of an able and esteemed assistant." The zeal of "the able and esteemed," took a queer, and, as we think, slightly objectionable form, as it was a brutal slander on a lady, the Countess of Sef ton. To give piquancy to the tuft-hunting scandal mongers " the able and esteemed " made the Prince of Wales co-respondent ; and without the shadow of foun dation or of concealment, told his pure invention as a bald fact. The Prince of Wales and the Earl of Sefton not fancying the purpose to which " the able and esteemed" desired to turn them, which we suppose was a stirring demand for the Sheffield Daily Telegraph, made affidavits and on these a rule has been granted for a criminal pro secution. .What their counsel states is, that the sort of apology, or iudeed any apology, cannot undo the mischief, and wo can certify to the fact that the Sheffield Telegraph has shot its arrow further than it can ever proceed to bring back the shaft. Of course the Sheffield paper pronounces itself as " loyal to the institutions of the country, devoted to the throne, respectful to the aristocracy, not given to the disparagement of ancient and honoured families ;" but less of those professions, and a keener sense of right would better become a journalist; and there is IP - Many enough in this world to combat without trumping a vile charge against an innocent lady.-- - -Miss Lydia Thompson denies on affidavit the part attributed to her in the trial of Wat- kins v. Watkins, asserting incidentally that she bad given back to Mrs. Watkins some jewellery of hers she had received from that lady's husband. The gentleman, LAW AND POLICE. THE IRRIGATION COMPANY OF FRANCE.—An application has been made to Vice-Chancellor Alalins for an injunc tion to restrain the Irrigation Company of France from transferring its assets to the Compagnie Gdnbrale des Canaux et Travaux. The petitioner was a shareholder, named Fox, who objected to the proposed transfer, and who, morever, presented a petition for the compulsory winding up of the company, whose affairs are now in process of voluntary liquidation. The Vice- Chancellor ordered that the company should be continued until £B,OOO had been paid into court for the satisfaction of the petitioner's claims. THE BUENOS AYRES RAILWAY COMPANY.—A petition was presented in Vice-Chancellor James's Court in the case of "Fielden v. the Buenos Ayres Railway Com pany," which presented some unusual features. A share holder instituted a suit against some of the directors, and his solicitor, Mr. Jones, made a serious blunder in arresting two of the defendants for not putting in an answer, when the time for putting it in had not expired by a fortnight. Serious costs and liabilities were incurred, and Mr. Jones gave the plaintiff a letter by which he agreed to indemnify him from all the costs of the suit. The plaintiff died in March, 1869, his estate being sworn under £2O, and his executor finding this letter among his papers informed the two defendants who had suffered from false imprisonment. They therefore prayed that the executor might be ordered to revive the suit, and that Mr. Jones might pay all the costs. Under ordinary circumstances the revival of a suit for the mere purpose of getting costs is not allowed, but the petitioners con tended that. Mr. Jones had acted illegally in giving the letter of indemnity. The Vice-Chancellor did not think Mr. Jones ought to pay all the costs, but as such a letter was improper for a solicitor to write, he must pay the costs of the petition. LIABILITY OF A BUILDER ERECTING A HOARDING ON A FOOTPATH.—In the Court of Common Pleas, before Mr. Justice Wines and a Middlesex common jury, Mrs. Ann Dickens, a laundress, 70 years of age, brought an action against Mr. Robert Charles Cooke, a builder, to recover damages for injuries sustained through the alleged negli gence of the defendant's servants. The defendant was executing some repairs at a house in Theobald's road, Holborn, in November last, and erected a hoarding in front of the house, with out laying down a supplementary foothpath around it. This only left about twenty inches for foot passengers, as a portion of the hoarding projected nearly two feet. The plaintiff was passing that place on the 22nd of November, when she stumbled over one of the projections, and broke her thigh, thus rendering her unable to follow her usual occupation. For the defence it was contended that the projection was of a trifling character, and that there was sufficient room left for pas sengers. The jury found for the plaintiff, with £6O damages. A FICTITIOUS PIR3I.—The two men Ward and Solo mon, who have been charged by the West of England En,pneering Company with conspiracy, having represented themselves as agents in connection with a firm at Mel bourne, have been committed for trial. THE ROBBERY BY SOLDIERS. —John M'Gooren ,a private in the 9th Lancers, stationed at Hounslow, has been sez tented Brantford to six months hard labour for robbing an inn in High-street, Hounslow, by getting in at the window. The other soldiers implicated in the robbery were not identified. The promptness with which the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Dumb Animals put a stop to the bull-fight at Islington the other evening has met with its reward, as a lady, the friend of the bull, has just sent , to the secretary a cheque for £lOO, " to mark her approval of such spirited conduct." AMERICAN AFFAIRS. -4.- (From the Anglo-American Times.) A rumour in Washington appears so far to have obtained credence as to be forwarded to Europe through the cable, that Mr. Thornton opposed the Darien Ship Canal project unless Great Britain was allowed an equal participation in the enterprise in accordance with the existing treaty ; which was followed by another report, to the effect that Secretary Fish had made satisfactory re presentations to Mr. Thornton in reference to the Darien Canal. "The rumour that the latter had presented a formal protest to the American Government on this sub ject is denied." John Warren, the Fenian Colonel, has presented through General Banks a petition to Congresa for $500,1 , 00 damages against Great Britain for false imprisonment. Colonel Warren desires to fight England on the principle Punch ascribes to a special constable—"lf I kill you. it's nothing; but if you kill me, it's murder." The O'Neill faction of the Fenian Congress met in New York last Tuesday, the object being, as reported, to co-operate with the Red River insurgents. A bill was introduced into the House of Repre sentatives by Mr. Halbert E. Paine of Wisconsin, on the Bth April, providing that the next House shall be com posed of 275 members, and of such members as any State thereafter admitted may be entitled to, and directing the Secretary of the Interior to ascertain from the preliminary census report of 1870 the basis of representation and the appointment of each State. By a telegram of last Monday from Washington, we learn that this bill was passed, the members being fixed at 275. The appointment is altere so as to reduce the New England representation, and in crease that of the Western States by four members. Mr. Schurz introduced a bill into the Senate on the 30th March fixing the Tuesday next after the first Monday in. November as the day upon which Representa tives and Delegates to Congress shall be elected through out the country, and it was referred to the Judiciary Com mittee. The elections begin with the year, keeping up an eternal round,much to the injury of business and encourage ment of pernicious agitation and excitement. The same bill was brought into the House by Mr. Heaton on the 4th inst., with the addition that the elections should take place in 1872, and every second year thereafter, on that day, and it was carried by 114 to 40. The Tuesday after the first Monday in November is the day for the Presi dential election and that fixed by all the great States for their elections. Mr. George W. Julian, Democrat, of Indiana, has presented a joint resolution to amend the Constitution by adding a Sixteenth Article, as follows :—" Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." Three champions of the sex have come forward to contend for the highest prize in the gift of the people—among them Lucretia Mott, of Philadelphia, who desires to crown a long life spent in agitating for women's rights by realiz ing its success in her own person in attaining to the chief Executive power. The other two are Mrs. Woodhull of the firm of Woodhull, (Malin, and Co., and Mrs. Train, the wife of the well-known "George Francis." The ques tion has been suggested—Will Mrs. Woodhull or Mrs. Train be willing to allow that they are over 35 years of age as prescribed b 1 the Constitution ? Fernando Wood made a severe attack on Gen. 0. 0. Howard from his place in the House on the 6th of April. A letter from the General to the Representative was read by the clerk, in which the writer complained of a previous remark, that he, General Howard, had grown rich in the Freedman's bureau, and the bill then before the House would leave at his control $6C0,000. Mr. Wood, acknowledging the correctness of the words attributed to him, said they were uttered on a firm conviction of their truth. General Howard had disbursed $12,965,359, and, being personally responsible, had challenged investiga tion, which, considering the rumours in circulation, the House should order. The first charge was that ho had given, without authority, to the Howard University Hospital, 500,000 dollars; that land sold for the benefit of the Howard University was made over improperly to members of his family and staff, and paid for by bonds of the First Congregational Church; that brick manufac tured by the company of which he is a director was used for the buildings, though this brick was unfit, and so worth less that portions of the building have fallen down, and cost in repairs, $13,000; that the Government lumber was usid by the Brick Company, and part of the timber was sold to its employes; that he pays rent from the bureau funds to the University for his headquarters; that he draws throe salaries—as Brigadier- General, as Commissioner of the Bureau, and as Head of the University—that he has im- properly given the funds to churches and religious asso• ciations, and allowed traffic in lands by his employes, participating in the pecuniary profits resulting; and, generally, that he is the head of the ring known as the Freedman's Bureau Icing; and Mr. Wood concluded by offering a resolution ordering an investigation. A long debate ensued, when Mr. Wood announced his realiness to be responsible for all charges he made, General Butler stating that the charges should be investigated, and if proved, General Howard dealt with severely, but if refuted the gentleman from New Ycrk to be thus dealt with for making himself the tool of a malicious gang. During th e debate the Speaker ruled that Mr. Wood, according to the precedents of the past ten years, was privilegad to say what he pleased of persons not members of Congress. While stating this he strongly censured the practice, de claring the privilege to bo greatly abused, as it gives mem bers the power t) attack private citizens who have no opportunity to reply. It was this which forced General Sherman to have recourse to the press, and will probably force Gen. Howard into the same course. Generals Butler and Banks have strenuously aided the President in the effort to secure the ratification of the treaty with San Domingo, and failing with the Senate to get a joint resolution passed for the annexation of the island. General Grant advances powerful reasons in favour of the project. lle asserts that the exchanges are against the United States, mainly, not from the undue importation of European produce, but of West Indian, for which payment is adjusted in England. The United States is a great consumer of sugar, tobacco, and of such staples as San Domingo grows in perfection ; and in American hands the island would quickly rival Cuba, and acquire an export at least as valuable. As a military position it flanks Cuba and commands the Gulf of Mexico, and with it, in American hands, the power of Spain would be brought to a speedy end in the Queen of the An tilles. One of the President's arguments is, that if Ame ricans do not move, Great Britain will. But we can assure General Grant that he is wholly in error if he says this with any other motive than as an inducement to his fellow citizens, for there is no chance whatever that any con sideration could make England add such territory to her dominions. That little game has been "played out" in the old country; nor should the late experience of the young one fire its heart in emulation. It has bought its " bear-garden," and does not know what to do with it ; but the New York Times suggests that it should be turned into a penal settlement, a sort of American Siberia, which, perhaps, would be the best use to which Alaska could be applied. The Financier still holds out hopes to the Lon don holders of the San Domingo Bonds, asserting a good chance of the measure yet being carried, according to private telegraras. Mr. J. P. Root, of Kansas, has been nominated by the President as Minister to the Hague, in place of Gen. Hugh Ewing. Mr. Root is a resident of Kansas, and at present Senator Pomeroy's clerk, at whose solicitation he has been named. The President has also nominated Moses Hallett as Chief Justice for Colorado. The follow- ng nominations have been confirmed by the Senate :—To ba Consuls =James R. Wheeler of Massachusetts, at King ston ; J. B. Gould of Maine, at Birmingham ; J. B. Kerr Mobile, at Scio ; Benjamin D. Merton of Rhode Island, at Colonia, Uruguay; C. W. Kl ee b erg o f th e Di s t r i ct o f ColuAbia, at Verviens ; D. H. Batchelder of New Hamp- shire, at Londonderry ; James Lorimer Graham, jun., at Florence; Thomas F. Wilson, at Matatnoras ; David Eckstein, Victoria, Vancouver's Island; C. M. F. Petard, Strasburg; W. K. M. Bergen, Algiers; J. C. Cover, Fayal ; W. B. Jones, Brindisi. The only information which had reached Secre tory Fish relative to the fisheries in British waters uas a communication from the American Consul-General in Canada, enclosing a copy of the bill on the subject intro- duced into the Canadian Parliament, which commences with a preamble, as follows :—" Whereas it is expedient, for the more effective protection of the inshore fishoiies of Canada against interference by foreigners, to amend the Act entitled 'An Act respecting fishing by foreign vessels,' and repeals the third section of ,the Act, so that foreign ♦essels shall not approach any of the fishing shores nearer han three miles without a license, the penalty being tho orfeiture of such vessels." The President sent a message to the House of Representatives, forwarding the report of the Secretary, and stating that he had ordered a small active steamer to be sent to the waters wherein those fisheries are chiefly carried on, to warn and protect the United States fishermen. Mr. Robeson, in compliance with the President's directions, ordered the United States steamer Despatch from Norfolk to Prince Edward's Island, with instructions to let the American fishermen know that without a licence they will not be p erm itt e d t o _ _ _ _ fish within three miles of the shore. These ridiculous however, writes (very unnecessarily we think) to state that he never gave anything to Miss Thompson over which he had not absolute power of disposition. The locket and the ring had been given to him by Mrs. Watkins months previously, while he did not part with them till he had ceased to live with Mrs. Watkins. It is passing strange that the idea did not suggest itself to him of letting Mrs. Watkins get back those gifts through a less circuitous channel. TELEGRAPIIS FOR CHINA.--The Danish frigate Tordenskjold, with the fine steamers Celia and Great .Northern, have arrived in the Thames, to receive some 2,300 miles of Hooper's telegraph cables for the Chinese seas. The first section of these lines measures 1,200 miles, and will extend from Posetta to Shanghai, and the remaining 1,100 miles will be laid between Shanghai and Hong Kong. The 7'ordenskjold carries out the shores end and part of the cable, and the other two vessels aro intended to convey the remainder of the line to China, and leave England next month. The cables consist of a copper conductor, a strand of wires, covered with layers of pure india rubber, over which is placed the separator" and a coating of patent material, which has been found to effectually resift the attacks of the greatest enemy a submarine has, the terado. Specimens lately arrived from the Persian Gulf of gutta percha and india-rubber insulated wire show the attacks of these animals to be far more prevalent on gutta percha than india-rubber in its natural state ; indeed the latter of late has been steadily gaining ground in pre ference to gutta-percha as an electrical insulating ma terial.
