Ma Tir.Alir AND Tin AMERICAN QuarrioN.
Yesterday a street railway, which has been constructed
under the soporintesdeneri of Mr. Traio, was opened at
A breakfast, to which the shareholders were
ipalrritakiirsn given on the minion, and Mr. Troia himself
wag present. In the course of a speech he made on the
ineasson, he referred to the question now priding between
this country and America. He wanted no war between
England and America, and would do all he could to prevent
it. He was accused of having roads a recantation of his
tamer opinions. When a man was wrong, and maw that
he was wrong, it was far nobler to admit his error than to
persevere in it. He was wrong in the view which he had
taken with regard to the Amnion affair ; and he would
now state dininctly that Amerios, in repnl to the Trent guess
tion, bad not a foot to stand upon, and ere long he feltcartain
they would give up those goeu whom they had, seised, sadwo
should see them on this side of the water. In this siviliesd
age the Americans were too proud and independent to do
anything illegal in tho face of all the European powers ; and
he was coalt the estrangement would end in nerosoilise
don, and we should be on the beet possible terms with the
Americans. But before that took place the Arne-
/ins government would give up the men, and make the
apology which we had • right to ask, and which, ha was
sure, we should receive. Mr. Seward had been represented
as hostile to this country ; but (continued Mr. ) I deny
it. He is my hind, and I had the pleas re al his acquaint-
Ana when be was over in this country. I presented him to
!samarium in Paris, and heard his views about England.
I can tell you Mr. Seward note bears to this country the
kindest of feelings. You will rot back from America, I
know, a most courteous despatch. There may be • little
I delay bat no war.
