It is noticed with satisfaction that Mr. Waldo-

of traneacticme in railway and gee .hares has been
withdrawn.

A large meeting of the creditors of Messrs. W.
H. Smith, Barry, and Co. was yesterday held at the
orderof Mews. C. F. Kemp, Cannsn, Ford, and
Co., when a resolution was unanimously passed to
place the estate under inspection, and three of the
principal creditors were appointed inspectors. The
debits are about 110,0001., and the estate shows
assets to nearly the acme amount ; but, as they
are chiefly in India, it will be some time before the
inspectors will be able to report the probable result
to the auditors.
Messrs. C. F. Kemp and Henry Chatteris, the
liquidators of the English Joint Stock Bank
(Limited), have issued a notification to the share-
holders that • call can no lever be delayed, and that
they have, with the concurrence of the committee
of shareholders, fixed it at 4/. per ahare, payable
in two equal instalments, on the 30th March and
the 30th June next The liquidators intimate in
their circular that a lap portion of the remaining
meta of the bank are m such a position that they
do not feel justified, in the interest of the sham-
holders, in forcing them to a speedy realisation.
This call will enable them to make an early distri-
bution to the creditors.
The liquidators of the Eastern Exchange Baak
(Liverpool) have declared a further dividend of 15s.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDC—Tamar, Mama d.
IN the House of Loess yesterday, the Regis-
tration of Writs (flootlead) Bill was read a second
time.

--The house adjourned at half-put five o'clock.
. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY, Mazes 8.
IA the Roves of COMIONII, Mr. *um gave
notice that on the motion for going into cog-
' inittee on the bill for carrying out Capital Punish;;
ments within Prisons, he should move that it is
expedient to abolish capital punishment.
Mr. Sonasiant gave notice that on the order for
the second reading of the Ecclesiastical Titles
. Bill, he should move that it be read a second
, time that day six months.
I On the order of the day for going into com-
mittee of supply,
Mr. LEFIVRIB called attention to the failure of
. the negotiations with the United States govern-
ment for arbitration of the Alabama claims, and
moved an address for papers. The honourable
member adverted at some length to the corre-
spondence which had taken plaoe between the
two governments on the subject, dwelling on the
: refusal of Earl Russell to refer the matter to arbi-
• tration, Lord Stanley's subsequent offer of an ar-
bitration, Mr. Seward's demand that the conduct
of the British government in recognising the Con-
federates as belligerents should form part of the
• reference, and Lord Stanley's refusal to accede to
that demand. On the main subject in
dispute he said he did not wish to ex-
' Mus any opinion, but he thought it was
for the interest of the country that this
matter should go to arbitration, and it was the
duty of the government to take a step in advance
to carry out the policy of the treaty of Paris,
which was to refer all differences between nations
to arbitration.

Lord STANLEY said England could have nothing
gain by keeping open a question of this kind.
He believed it was the wish, as he was sure it was
the interest, of both nations to remain on amicable
terms. He had no doubt that if we were in the
position of the North Americans we should feel
very much as they did, and while it would be too
• much to say that our conduct throughout had been
strictly impartial, he thought that if our neutrality
had been the moat rigid that could be conoeived it
would have fallen far short of the expectations of a
large portion of the North. What the North expected
of us was not neutrality, pure and simple, but
neutrality coupled with great moral sympathy and
support, end when that feeling existed it was
natural that disappointment should be felt in some
quarters. In that point of new be did not regret
the time that had elapsed, because on both sides
they approached the matter in a better spirit in
• 1868 than they did in 1864. As the case now stood
the controversy was reduced to the narrowest
possible issue. The only point unsettled was
whether they were to submit to arbitration the
conduct of her Majesty's government in recognising
the Confederates as belligerents, as well as the
question of the Alabama. He did not see what
bearing the one had upon the other. No one would
contend that at some period or other the Con-
federates did not become belligerents. Then at
what time ? If ever they were it was at the battle
of Bull's Run, and that was in July, 1861, and the
Alabama did not go out on her cruise till 1862.
If we had not recognised them, and fortune had
turned in their favour, would they not have had
good ground of complaint against usg How could
Mr. Seward, with a raveg face, call on him to sub-
mit to the arbitration of a friendly power the
question whether the British government had the
right on the 13th of May to state that civil war had
broken out in America, when Mr. Seward had him-
self in a state document dated the 4th of May
called it by that name ? Then, if there was no war
there was no blockade, and if there was no
blockade we should be entitled to damages for our
vessels being precluded from entering the ports
of the South. The negotiations were for a time,
be would not say broken off, but suspended. That
suspension did not come from us. He knew that
party feeling ran high in America, but ho did not
think that any party wore prepared to run into a
costly war for the sake of sotthng a question in a
particular way. If the arbitration went on we
should not shrink from paying the claims which
would be established, and especially as there were
large counter-claims which we had to make. Mr.
Seward had more than once suggested that nego-
tiations should be entered into fur the purpose of
settling all outstanding questions, and he had re-
quested him through Mr. Adams to develop that
idea. He should leave the action of her Majesty's
government in this matter to be judged not only
by this house or this country, but by all impar-
tial persons on both sides of the Atlantic.
Mr. W. E. Foasrsa expressed his gratification
at the admirable tone of the noble lord's speech,
and said he trusted that negotiation had not even
yet failed. He thought that all that the United
States government wanted was to use the conduct
of our government as an argument before the
arbitrator.
Sir G. Bowrita contended that no government
could make itself responsible for trade carried on
by its subjects with belligerent'. The North bad
Its remedy ; it might have captured the Alabama.
Mr. SANDFORD observed that we had as much
right to suppli vessels to the South as to supply
arias to the North.
Mr. J. S. Mitt said tho real question at issue
was whether it was admissible for a belligerent to
use a neutral country as &basis of operations, and
the obvious argument against that was, that if he
could do so he was carrying on his operations in a
place where the other belligerent could not get at
him. He apprehended that the United States
government wished to show, by way of argument,
that the Alabama could not have escaped if we had
not had a friendly feeling to the South ; and if that
.were a relevant argument he did not see why they
should not be allowed to use it. He thought no
one in that house would say that reparation was
not due to the United States.
Mr. GrAnerrows expressed his gratification at the
moderate tone both of Mr. Lefevre, who com-
menced the discussion and of 'Lprd Stanley. He
rejoiced that the noble lord had not left them
without a prospect of a resumption of the negotia-
tions. He did not agree with Mr. Mill that no
one would say that reparation was not due from
'us. He believed there was every disposition to
encourage Lord Stanley in his endeavours to settle
*controver which, if it took an unfortunate
turn, would be attended with disastrous cense-
queue's. •
The motion was them withdrawn. ' •
• Mr. 0. Foaresous inquired whether the Secre-
tary for Ireland would introduce the Irish Reform
bill on Monday.
Mr. DEBRAILI said the Scotch bill was fixed for
Monday, and as there was other business on that
day, the Irish bill would not be brought on till the
following Monday.
Mr. GiArerrotes remarked on the inconvenience
of this arrangement. The government were to an-
nounce their Irish policy on Tuesday, and surely
their views on parliamentary reform for Ireland
were part of it.
' Sir W. Gallway and Mr. Wyld both obtained
leave to introduce bills to establish county financial
boards ; and Mr. C. Forster introduced a bill to
amend the law relating to appeals from the
Court of Divorce and Matrimonial Causes in Eng-
land.
The house adjourned at 20 minutes to nine
• .'clock.
