Tfilg ALABAMA °LAMS.

President Grant, in his message to Congress,
recommends the appointment of a commission
to take proofs of the amount of ownership of
the Alabama claims, and give authority for
their eettlemeut by the United States, so that
Government shall own them, and have the
responsible control of all demands against
Great Britain. The President declares
that if the Casadian authorities at-
tempt to enforce the unwarrantable juris-
diction over the fisheries assumed by their
statutes it would be his duty to take steps to
protect the rights of American citizens.
The " Times " to-lay (Thursday) insists that
though the President's doctrine that pecuniary
claims may be established by the United States,
for the premature recognition of the Confeder-
ate States or other alleged breaches of neutrality,
apart from the Alabama claims, is arguable, it is
certainly untenable.

ANOTHER FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
Upon the Sunderland and Newcastle branch
of the North-Eastern Railway, on Tueaday, the
half-past 10 express from Sunderland to New-
castle was passing Brockley Whine station, when
the porter in charge of the switches, instead of
turning a coal train from Newcastle to a siding,
opened the points of a crossing which made the
express and opal trains meet with a tremendous
crash. The engines were broken to pieces, and
several of the carriages of the express. The
following persons were killed :—Mr. Frederick
Foxier), manager of the Theatre, Sunderland ;
Mr. Henry Richardson, paper manufacturer,
Sunderland • Mr. W. E. Ogden, banker, Sun-
derland; and Mr. J. C. Turnbull, Sunderland.
Another person has since died, and the guard of
the train ia not expected to live. About a score
of others are hurt, one or two of them very
seriously. They all belong to Sunderland.

THE REV. .7. H. AUSTEN AND THE GIPSIEi

Tu Lle Editor.

Sir.—Having read in the public pram that st the
last Quarter Sessions for the county the Rev. J. Austen
made a charge molest the polies, with respect to
tramps and tiptoe, threatening that if the "police
system were not rvmodelled," he would rail off s
'couple of mires of his own land, and openly denote them
to the accommodation of am class alluded to, in ordet
to show that the ioterferenoe of the police in nod
around the premises of this county magistrate .11
amply needed, I can state Mit, at a time when I vu
not quite so well aware as I am now of the company
kept in that vicinity, • ledy's cloak, which was left n
my pooy marriage, on Kr. Austin's premises, ant at
his door, wen stolen and never recovered. Malone%
many of Mr. Austin's neighbours have comPlainnd rf
the leave he has already given to trumps and Lipka to
locate themselves on his land, I can amours them thee
may safely leave the question of any " remodelling-of
the police on this subject to the magistrates assembled
at quarter sessions. That Mr. Austen may do with he
own land what he has already done on the water of ha
neighbours, is as matter perhaps of very little doubt. at
Lb. same time, on that matter alone I agree that
"remodelling" on Mr. Austin's part would be rely
beneficial. As • magistrate of long experience—say
present supervision also 'vending over • much Later
savage than that of Yr. Austen—l can bear witoess
not only to the activity of the minty polies, but also to
their great ferbestrasse where there is tie shadow of "
lumen for Imaiesey.—Faitbfully your;

shall have to pay prolmelonal Instrumentalista and singers. If
• wood ndrethrsent department at reasonable prices were pro-

I thould think it Just to have an agreement drawn up to recog-

The MAYOR thought the matter proposed -Important
one. They had two poles with their band twit, and one
of them could be erected on the Pile Pier, and the tent
taken down and set up around it when the band played.
When it WU offered to collect l'.h) performers far such
concerts, be thought they Mould embrace the offer,
They wished to adopt the plan used in the New
Gardena, of giving those who would pay seats Ur their
