• thus write, for they know too well what would 101
low such a contest. The bare mention of the sub'
ject seems to have produced a commercial crisis i!
New York. If General GRANT, as some assert,
at the bottom of the present most threatening cool'
plication, it is probable he will live to regret it;
but we are far from believing that there is truth in
this report. We do not disguise the danger that
looms ahead, and in this we differ from the cot'
;•espondent of the Times, believing it to be advisable
not therein to err, nor that it should be cloaked; fot
here a: e scores of thousands, who, when fully alive 1°
t, wou'd press bard to avert a disaster alike ruinoos
z.o civilization and to commercial prosperity. The
very arguments so many American newspapers use
why England dare not go to war are precisely the
•easons why England will go to war. If that be
the general impression in America its correction
mly can avert the calamity, for the same reasne
hat a boy at school who dislikes and tries to avoid
ightiug is compelled in the end to fight three bated
"or the one that would have sufficed at the beer
jog. ThLre is wis lom in the instructions Air'
IiOTLEY has received—to take no steps towards re'
.pening the controversy. Neither nation is nosy°
od to approach so dangerous a topic, and
vonld be as well first to let the passions raised, die
jut. The American press is much surprised that
slr. &DINER'S speech was not published in any Ea
lish paper. It was published by Mr. STEVENS, (/',
Ilenrietta-street, Covent-garden, in better tyle
han any newspaper could have given it, and its sale
would show whether the English press erred in not
printing is entire. Mr. SUMNER thinks that the
London papers will yet be compelled to publish ill
but we are at a loss to know why, as those who
want it can gec it from the above-mentioned house'
the ground heretofore assumed by the America°
Government is m iintained in Mr. MOTLEY'S ill.
3tructions, and the question of England's moral re"
sponsibility for the results of the neutrality 10"
elamation insisted on for reference to arbitration.
If decided against England the damages are to b 6
pressed for payment; but all this rests on the
fallacy that the position of England " under the
sword of DAMOCLES," as an American paper We:,
is so intolerable that she will come to any terms°
the Republic only waits. This is not a dangerone
error unless the United States gets impatient, 0
she will have to wait long for a settlement to be
thus obtained. The errors held about England on the
other side, as well as about America on this, are sole'
times laughable. The notion finds general expression
that it is a terrible position for her MAJESII
Government to have its hands so tied that It cannot
engage in any European complication, while the
nation and the Government are thankful to tbone

who give them a decent excuse for declining to
take part in European continental affairs, and fore'
ing them to keep the peace almost on any terms'
Another idea is that England is always striving t°
acquire territory and influence in foreign countries'
in Cuba, in the Sandwich Islands, in the South
American Republics, anywhere, everywhere. F°t
instance, it was circulated all over the Republic,
and generally believed, that England was about t°
recognise Cuban independence, with a view to form'
ing another Dominion in alVest India Confederation,

de
and thus prevent the absorption of these islao
into the Union. An idea less in harmony Withßritish policy could hardly have been conceive,'
or the notion that any one but a mad Britisher,
cared a straw for the sentiment of the Sandwie°
Islands, or that England would accept every gel
in the Pacific as a gift even if accompanied by a large
sum of money. Thinking thus erroneously of the
objects and intentions of England, it must strike
unprejudiced Americans that their countrymen or!,
scarcely qualified to sit on the judgment seat, and rwil
01 the Alabama question in their own way, and With
the evidence they have before them, indeed both rantt
a'lmit being disqualified as prejudiced against each
other. It is very evident that they cannot assio3l-0
late even in the most remote degree their opioin°o
on the subject, and their wisest course then, if ilk
sensible people they desire a settlement, is to drop
the discussion for the present and take the advice
of uninterested persons. Count BISMARCK is 11°
the fashion in the United States, and he is one n°
whosesense and judgment most men rely; let hituS3l
what questions in justice to both, can be referred t°
arbitration. As the matter now stands, Amer°
makes a demand which England peremptorily dd
dines, and the more the nations talk over it, the
more confirmed either is that right is on her side'
The extraordinary part of this extraordinary cool;
plicatiun too is that each nation is unanimous ; there
is but one opinion in America as to the " massive
grievanc," and the only reparation for it, and Eng'
land is equally unanimous in rejecting that repar3-
tion as a national dishonour, and in considering ito
demand almost as a national insult, while disputio.,
the very premises on which the grievance is grounded
—and this after months of argument and liter
wheelbarrows of despatches, for it was in some sac'
conveyance the Alabama correspondence asked Nr
was taken to the Senate. Viewing impartially the
press of both countries, we think the balano3 0
bitterness to be in favour of England; the cartoono
in the comic papers, which generally reflect the
passing sentiment of the day, carrying the joke, i4our opinion, out of the bonds of propriety, and far
into the domain of bad taste.

A velocipede is a very costly article. A gentle'
man in Hornellsville, New York, recently bought a yel°-
cipodP, for which ho paid 8100; broke a plate glass will;
dow, for which he paid $4O; cut his face and neck, f°
which he paid the doctor $5 ; ruined one pair of pants'
loons, for which he paid $ll • frightened a horse so tb3o
the animal ran away and broke a buggy, for which „
paid damages amounting to $6O; and finally smashed !li6
velocipede by running into a brick wall, leaving him
out of pocket and a court-plastered faco to show for it.
