Lengthy discussions on the relations of our donntry
a with the United Stales, in respect to the Fenians and
the Alaaama, may be looked fop' fen' %mine time yet,
the coritroversy having only just commenced. The
. coneictron of two renians for piracy and attempted
murder in Canada, and their sentence to death, have
....
. created an immense sensation on both rides of the
- Atlantic, and the matter must have given considerable
concern to the present Ministry. Let the men be
- _ hanged, says one influential journal, no matter what
• the consequences, even if we have to fight America.
. Spare their lives and imprison them. says another, and
• • let it be understood that any Fenians in future con:
•• demned under the same circumstances shall Ire exe-
cuted. Pardon them pays a third, and let us Placate
President Johnson.and Mr. Seward and win over the
Feniaris by our clemency. The subject bristle with
..... difficulties, view it from whatever point you may. It
is rumoured on god authority that the sentence of ,teals
has alreadybeen commuted, and for my own part I am
glad of it. It would be a sad thing under any
circumstances for there to be a rupture between 1
this country and America. but it wonl•ir be a
thousand pities if we wore to go to war for such a
ridiculous thing as this. The war of the Big-endians
and the Littfe•endians w. nil scarcely be more iidicu-
lona It is a pity too to miss such a chance of ribbing
off any little rintilealantnead which may exist between
the two countries. If our Ministry listen to Mr.
Seward's appeal for mercy it is -quite priababe that
- England may be open to the charge of. subrnitting
to dictation, but at all event.; we shall donblyeprove I
our magnanimity. As to the claims which the Ameet..
• cans have on liii in re the Abeam/4 there ii good
reason to hope that these may be...anaicality Mottled,
perhaps by a joint c.onmission. ,

President of the Poor Law Board, is engaged on an
alteration of the present Poor Laws, which he int-initla

I made a round of many of the polling-booths. There are
altogether 203 polling places in the city, and the hours of

The corretpowient of the Morning Star, to speaking of
the election., say.:—

One of the most amosing and at the Pan, time the
most disgraceful incidents of the can,instrannpired on
lent Saturday afternoon, in counicticn with the con-
tent between Hon. Horace Greeley and .Yhn
Nlorriesey. the prize-lighter. A Greeley meeting axe
announced to be held in the City Hall Park at thrrer
o'clock or. the day named, and General Dueler was
named among the ntreakere. Mr. Greeley awoke first,
and was listened to very good naturedly, MIA wh- n
General Butler made hisappearance the true character
of „,tbepticlience matrifented itself. Some one in tee
cresid threw an apple, which hit the general quite a
severe blow in the chest, hut he picked it up and good-
naturedly cut off a Knee which he ate. Thin coolness
amused the crowd, which wan evidently on evil thoughts
intent, and which was egg..l on and engineered by a
number of the Ciry Hall officialo from the windows of
that building. When Grnerat Butler began to speak
there was a fearful tumult. "Spoons !" •• Sisnms !"
was yelled by the crowd with reference to General
Butler's alleged exploits in New Orleans, and such a
iitibbub of uat•calln and yells wen kept up that the
neral fonffrl it utterly impossible to make himself
card. Here in a passage from the speech an it was
reported in the Tribune, which will give you a to'era-
bly fair idea of the way in which General limier tine ly
