In the United States Senate on the 18th instant,
on the consideration of the bill appropriating
$3,000,000 for increasing the armaments of the
United States, Mr. Cass made another violent on-
slaught upon England. He said England had suf-
fered so much in the war with Russia that it was
not at all unlikely she might try to retrieve her
reputation by a war on the Western Hemisphere.
Mr. Cass said he did not see how the Central
American controversy could be referred to arbitra-
tion. It was not a question of boundary or indem-
nity, but a mere question about the meaning of a
word. No arbitrator, whether understanding the
English language or not, could tell what the mean-
ing of the word.'" occupy" was better than they
knew already.
Mr Iveson defended the bill, and•thought there
was imminent danger of a war with England. He
did not believe the Administration of the American
people were in favour of arbitration on the Central
American question.
On the following day the Senate renewed the
consideration of the bill. Mr. Brown supported
the views of the Government relative to the Clay-
ton-Bulwer Treaty ; he did not desire to assist in
creating a war spirit ; the treaty was susceptible
but of one interpretation. England's construc-
tion of it was a specific violation of common sense,
and if such conduct was responded to by a pri-
vate individual in his dealings with his neigh-
bours, it would be very apt to communicate the
impression to all impartial witnesses that the fraud
was intended. He condemned the conduct of
Great Britain in the enlistment case. He was op-
posed to submitting their difficulties with England
to arbitration, for e3the reason that a great republic
like theirs could scarcely expect justice with a
crowned head as umpire.
The Senate then adjourned.
According to documents submitted to the Senate
on the 10th inst., the instructions to Commodore
M'Caulay, commander of the United States' home
squadron, issued in April last, after the Spanish
frigate Ferrolana had fired into the United States'
steamer Eldorado, were to the effect that, in case
of a similar outrage committed on a vessel rightly
bearing the United States' flag, he must promptly
interpose and resist the exercise of the assumed
right of visitation, and repel the interference by
force, the Executive taking the ground that the
conduct of the authorities of Cuba, in hailing and
searching American vessels, cannot rest on the plea
of territorial jurisdiction over the high seas in the
vicinity of the island of Cuba, the United States'
Government denying the existence of any state of
facts to warrant the exercise of belligerent rights.
The Legislative Council of Canada has passed to
a second reading a bill to permit money to be loaned
by all parties except banks, at any rate of interest
which may be agreed upon, the said interest to be
recoverable in the courts oelaw.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MANSION-HOUSE.

FRAIIDUIANT BANKRUPT.—George Frederick Lillicrop,
grocer, of 2, Trafalgar-place, Trafalgar-road, Ilagger-
stone, was charged with defrauding his creditors of about
501. after he had become a bankrupt.
Mr. Dollama, of the firnt of Messrs. Howard and
Dollman, appeared for the assignees to prosecute, and
Mr. Hurophreys appeared for the prisoner.
It appeared from the evidence adduced, that the bank-
rupt, whilst the messenger from the Bankruptcy Coutt
was in his house, contrived, to dig a bole in the coal-
cellar, into which he put several articles of stock, and
some of his furniture. He removed to a neighbours.
The prisoner had also falsified his boots, by making cer
tain accounts paid which bad not been paid, and after-
wards collected the money and put it into his pocket.
The case not being complete the prisoner was re-
manded.
