ARRIVAL OF MR. MOTLEY.

On Saturday night the Hon. John Lothrop Motley,
the new American Minister to this Court, arrived in
Liverpool. The Hon. Mr. Dudley, the American Con-
sul at Liverpool, had made every arrangement during the
day for landing Mr. Motley and suite as privately as pos-
sible, and his views and suggestions'were met with every
consideration by the Cunard Company. The Cuba, which
left Queenstown at 2.40 a.m. on Saturday, was expected
to reach the Mersey about midnight, or shortlyafter, but,
in order that Mr. Motley and his family should reach
Liverpool before so late an hour, it was determined
to send a fast steam tender out to meet the
ship, which was accordingly done. The tender returned
to Liverpool about eleven o'clock. Accompanying Mr.
Motley,-as the Secretary of Legation, was General Badeau,
who was formerly attached to General Grant's staff, and he,

like Mr. Motley, is a historian, having written a Life of
General Grant up to the time when he accepted the Pre-
sidency, and also a history of the late war. The new
Minister is also accompanied by his wife and three
daughters. On reaching the pier head the party were met
by the mayor, Mr. Dover, the town clerk, and Major
Greig, the head constable. Mr. Dudley introduced Mr.
Motley to the mayor, who had his state carriage in readi-
ness to convey the party to the Adelphi Hotel. Mr.
Motley, in thanking the mayor for his kindness and con-
sideration in placing the carriage at his disposal, said that
he was compelled to decline the offer, as he was desirous,
if possible, to make his visit to Liverpool as little demon-
strative as lay in his power.

REDUCTION OF nil: UNITED STATES NAVY.

No fewer than twelve ironclads—all of which did good
service in the civil war—have been advertised for sale by
the War Department of the United States. This fine
collection of war material is in good condition, and, accord-
ing to the 117-ci,7 York Times, is sold solely to carry out the
policy of economy and reduction. This advertisement
has, certainly, the reverse of a warlike appearance. Only
a few days ago an American official gave his opinion
that the United States navy was not in a condition
for war, and that it was more than questionable
whether it could keep the seas against the British fleet.
The sale of twelve ironclads is, then, a decisive peace
manifesto.

LOSS OF TWO ABERDEEN smrs AND IDEIR CREWS.
Two deplorable shipwrecks have occurred in the Gulf
of St. Lawrence. A telegram from Quebec announces
the wreck of the ships Zetur (Captain Taylor) and
Margaret, both of Aberdeen, off Anticosti Island. Al'
hands were lost except the mate of the Margaret.

THE ATROCITIES ON BOARD THE JAMES FOSTER.
The horrible story of the voyage made by the emigrant
ship James Foster, from England to New York, will not
yet have faded from the recollection of newspaper
readers. The Emigration Commissioners at New York
have for some time past been inquiring into this affair,
and their report was ready a few days ago. They find
fault with the arrangements of the British Emigration
authorities, whom they severely censure. The report says
is to be found, perhaps, in the rapid discontinuance of
sailing ships in the carrying of emigrants to New York, and
the employment of steam vessels in their stead. Mean.
while, shipowners arc besought to exercise greater care
and caution in the selection of their aims.

THE PATENT LAW.

The discussion on the Patent Laws Is religiously
avoided by most of the newspapers. The present
system is felt to be absurd ; everyone admits that.
But most of our contemporaries seem to feel that an
inventor ought in some way to be rewarded for his
discovery ; and if not by a monopoly, how ? But
when two such men as Sir Bounden Palmer and Lord
Stanley agree, or nearly so, in counselling the aboli-
tion of the present system, it must be felt that the
time is come for the consideration of the subject.
The Times definitely declares that patents should be
put out of existence. It lays down that no reform of
the present system can be satisfactory, and there-
fore the question is between that system and
nothing. In favour of nothing the leading
journal constructs a very. plausible argument. An
invention, it points out, is not the fruit of
one brain. It is the result of patient investigation,
toil, and experience by many. An inventor learns
by the failure of another, the very failure itself
containing the germ of the subsequent success.
Many are pursuing the same line, and discover almost
simultaneously the same instrument or what not.
But the one who, having money, or who, being more
expedite, gets his idea registered first, has the whole
benefit of the many years' labour of others besides
himself. And in cases where secondary patents are
obtained—a small improvement in the course of an
elaborate manufacture—the whole trade is blocked,
and the result is most disastrous to all other manu-
facturers besides those who happen, by a lucky
chance, to get the patent.

THE SPANISH CROWN.

The Spanish Cortes have passed the entire draft of the
new constitution, the most important article of which is
that Spain shall henceforth, as hitherto, be ruled as a
monarchy. But who is to be the monarch? It is most
probable that a Regency will be established whilst the
country waits for a sovereign to turn up ; and the Telegraph
has reason to believe that the Regency will last until the
ex-Queen's son, the Prince of Asturias, grows up to manhood.
Then he will become King. The immortal correspondent
of the Telegraph perceives signs which are all in favour
of this semi-restoration. "I can inform you that the
Spanish Royal Family so confidently anticipate changes in
their favour that all improvements, building, and pur-
chases in this city have been for the time suspended.
Personages high among the exiled family have said that
the elevation of the Prince to the vacant throne is a cer-
tainty. The Grand Chamberlain of Isabella 11. has
started for Madrid." The difficulty is that the
members of the Spanish Ministry, and especially
Prim, have affirmed again and again that " all
restoration" is absolutely impossible. Capacity for
leek-eating is by no means an unusual quality of states.
men, but even this valuable property may be abused.
Whoever may get the crown, the Regency, we are
informed from several influential quarters, is finally
determined upon.

THE IIECENT DECANAL MEETING,

Archdeacon T)enisan has one merit which no one
can deny. He is not afraid to expose the faults of
the Church to which he belongs, or thosa of its
members. Referring to the recent mectinr, of deans,
he writes a very characteristic letter in the John
He says :
"The Government, it appears, are not prepared with
any measure for the increase of the Episcopate ; not sc
much as with a measure allowing of such increase. But
they will be glad to hear ' what the deans have to say.
The bishops, having nothing to say, fall back upon the
deans. The deans have nothing to say, except that they
are excellent Church officers, and fully employed already.
This episcopal and decanal 'hide and seek may be very
good sport to those who play at it ; and it makes the
world laugh. I can't help laughing myself, but I ought
to be crying."

LAW AND POLICE.

THE "COUNTESS OF DERWENTWATEE."—On Saturday,
in the Court of Queen's Bench, the case of the Derwent-
water estates was heard. Amelia Ratcliffe, the lady
claiming to be the descendant of the unfortunate Ratcliffe,
Earl of Derwontwater, who was executed in the reign
if George 11. for participating in the Scotch rebelliot,
appealed against conviction for trespass. Miss Ratcliffe,
by way of asserting her right to his estates, which had
been confiscated by the Crown and granted to Greenwich
Llovital, had taken possession of Dilston Castle, an old
castle forming part of the estates, and being expelled
from it, she raised a wooden hut on the aide of the road.
For this the magistrates convicted her for trespass, and
she appealed. The court affirmed the conviction:
A VELoCITEDE is TztoußLE.—At Lambeth, a young
man residing at Brixton was charged with driving a
velocipede on the footway. The magistrate said that it
was an offence against the Act, and the defendant must
pay a penalty of 10s. and costs.

FORTUNE-TELLING AT BIRMINGHAM. - Margaret Parks
vas charged, at the Birmingham Police-court, with
obtaining money by fort...ale-telling. The case having
been proved against her, she was sent to gaol for one
month, with bard labour.
PLATE GLASS INSURANCE COMPANIES.—At the South-
wark Police-court, on Saturday, a young man named
Williams alias Webb, was charged with conspiracy to
defraud, by pretending to be the agent to the " General
Plate Glass Insurance Company," and the "National
Plate Glass Insurance Company," which were
never in existence. The court was crowded
by licensed victuallers and others who had been
defrauded by the gang to which the prisoner belonged. A
great deal of evidence was given identifying the prisoner
with the mock company, and his solicitor reserved his
defence, only saying that he was the dupe of more guilty
parties. He was committed for trial at the next sessions
of the Central Criminal Court, bail being accepted.

Grace, Chesterfield House, Mayfair, on Saturday after-
noon. The deputations numbered upwards of 300 persons,
and included members of Parliament, and other gentlemen
of position and influence. The peers present were—The
Duke of Abercorn, the Primate, the Archbishop of Dublin,
the Bishop of Derry, Lord Redesdale, Lord Malmesbury,
Lord Huntingdon, Lord Erne, Lord Bandon, Lord Water-
ford, Lord Digby, Lord Salisbury, Lord Goff, &c.
An address uas presented on behalf of the Church Con-
ference of Ireland. It commenced by claiming to proceed
from a body having the full authority of the Irish Church,
and proceeded to set forth nine reasons why the Lords
should not pass the Irish Church Bill. These were
that the proposed measure would create a diffe-
rence between Ireland and the United Kingdom
kith regard to the State Church ; it would tend
to subvert parochial organisations, by which the minis-
trations of are extended to all without distinction ;
it would tend to AVCalil:ll the union between Church
and State in Englt.nd and Scotland ; it ignores the
rights of the laity of Ireland ; it strikes at
the Royal Supremacy and the Act of Union ; it
destroys a title of three centuries, and thus unsettles
property ; there is no allegation that the property to be
sequestrated has been misapplied ; it is inconsistent with
the dignity of the empire to commit confiscation and to
alter the Constitution ; and, finally, because the bill will
utterly fail to pacify Ireland.
Dr. Tnain supported the address in an able speech, ana
was followed by Mr. WCROREY, who addressed their
lordships on behalf of the Presbyterians of Ulster.
Addresses were also presented by the Central
• Protestant Defence Association of Ireland and
the Ulster Protestant Defence Association, which
were supported respectively by Sir Edward Grogan,
Bart., and Sir John Stuart, and Mr. S. Blacker. Captain
Petrie spoke on behalf of the Church Institution of Ire-
land, and Mr. Richard Nugent on behalf of the National
Protestantism. The object of the several speeches was to
urge their lordships to throw out the bill on the second
_ _

The Duke of ABERCORN, in reply, expressed his
pleasure at receiving such influential deputations from the
whole of Ireland, and remarked that the opinions of
such bodies could not fail to carry great weight.
He would take care to lay all their views before those
Peers with whom he had the honour to be associated, at
an early meeting to be held next week, or as soon as the
Irish Church Bill was sent up to the House of Lords.
The deputation then withdrew. The proceedings, to
which the representatives of the press were not admitted,
occupied over two hours.

QUEEN ISABELLA.

A council has been held at the residence of the ex-
Queen of Spain in Paris ; Isabella herself, some of her
old Ministers, and the most important personages
of the late Government being present. The ex-Queen
formally declared that she was resolved not to abdicate
in favour of the Prince of the Asturias. The consultation
lasted an hour. It seems, then, that if the Revolutionary
Government elect the Prince, as the Telegraph antici-
pates, it will be against the consent of his mother.
Another consultation of this kind—perhaps the same—
has been previously announced ; but, however this may be,
the determination of the Queen to stick to her pretensions
seems to be unquestionable.

EMIGRATION.

The Poor-law Board have called in the opinion
of the Poor-law Guardians of the metropolis as to
education. The guardians of St. John's and St.
Margaret's, Westminster, reply that the large num-
ber of unemployed and partially employed poor who,
although not at present chargeable to the poor
rates, are liable at any time to become so,
appear to constitute the class most desirable to emi-
grate, and it is this class the guardians are unable
and precluded from r:ssisting ; and that while any
action on the part of boards of guardiansmust neces-
sarily he limited and partial in its operation, i
so, n order to produce any appreciable relief either
to the ratepayers, or to the artizans, or to the
labouring class, they consider that the whole question
of the emigration of the unemployed should be taken
up by her Majesty's Government in a broad, liberal
and comprehensive spirit.

MD. LOWE AND THE MONEY MARKET.
The Economist points out that Mr. Lowe's con-
temptuous indifference of the money market is
exceedingly unjust. He said, "If the merchants
choose to erect a presiding deity of discount, they
must maintain it themselves, and not ask the
Government." But it was the Government, not the
merchants, which set up the Bank of England.
That institution was created for the benefit of the
Government. " The Government gave the Bank the
monopoly of metropolitan issue, of a limited liability
in England, and of the public balances; and these
gave it its peculiar position, and made it, for bcttei
or worse, the depository of our main banking reserve.
It is the pivot of Lombard-street, and the State
made it the pivot, and must therefore treat it as
such."

FOREIGN NOTES.
ENGLAND AND AMERICA.

The "Yankee " correspondent of the Spectator says
that the comments of the English press on Mr.
Sumner's speech are pitched in a surprising tone;
but they are not likely to give offence. The writer
believes the assumption that the Americans are animated
by a dangerous feeling of ill-will to England to be a
mistake. There is no such feeling. " For eight years
there has not been here so placid a tone of mind towards
England as there is at present—one so disposed towards
hearty and permanent relations of friendship." The
Spectator, in an " editorial," adds its belief that
American sentiment towards Britain has greatly changed
—that the disposition is to throw over Mr. Sumner's
speech. But this is simply the result of the change of
feeling in England.

WHO REPORTED IT ?

Mr. Roebuck writes that he has been misunderstood.
He did not say the Irish Church Rill «Aa oonfise.tioii
and robbery. He still thinks the principle of State
endowments to be unsound. What he said was—as
at Sheffield—that the proposal of the measure
was impolitic and dishonest—impolitic because it
would not satisfy that class of the Irish people it
sought to conciliate, dishonest because it was put
forth under false pretences.

A SUGGESTED ALTERATION OF THE IRISH CHURCH

BILL.

The guardians of Gort, Ireland, are not satisfied
with the provisions of the Irish Church 13i11, and
they seem suddenly to have discovered wherein
could be made more according to their likings. They
immediately—notwithstanding that the provisions
of the bill havebeen settled by the Commons—post off
to Mr. Gladstone a suggestion that the moneys of the
Irish Church should be used for workhouse hospitals
and infirmaries as w ell as for county ditto. The Premier
instructs Mr. A. West, his secretary, to point out
to his critics that the institutions they propose to
endow are a direct charge upon the poor's rate, and
the bill expressly declares that the moneys shall not
be applied for lessening that rate. The county in-
firmaries, moreover, when properly managed, will
relieve the parochial ones, and thus indirectly the
aim of the guardians will be accomplished.

instances to as much as 2U per cent. In fact they to tow

HOBART PASHA.

Captain Augustus Hobart, now "Hobart Pasha,"
nas rendered distinguished service to the Ottoman
Government as an admiral of the Turkish fleet. His
conduct during the difficulty with Greece met with
general approbation. Under his care the slovenly
Turkish sailors have become as smart as an English
crew. Ile enjoys a nice salary of £2,000 a year, not
to speak of pickings. But, unfortunately for his
peace of mind, he took service under the Turkish
Government without asking permission of the
Admiralty, and in consequence his name was
removed from the British " Navy List" a short
time ago. He applies to the Admiralty to be
reinstated. Ile admits the grave breach of dis-
cipline he commits in taking foreign service
without leave ; but he hopes that the offence is.
not unpardonable, and that thirty-four years of
faithful service will condone it. The Admiralty-
however, have refused his request.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7his Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

EXTRAORDINARY CllARGE.—Salvador Russo, an Italian
bootmalcer, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with at-
tempting to set fire to the dwelling-house of Mr. George
Cronange, professor of languages, No. 38-, Gerrard street,
Soho.

Mr. Cronange said that on Wednesday last he put the
broker into the prisoner's room, the prisoner owing him
five months' rent ; hut afterwards, on the prisoner promis-
ing to go away be withdreiV the broker, and told him that
ho would not touch his things, and would give him 2s.
Sub.iequently the prisoner asked him to let him stay a
little longer, and Le allowed him to do so, and for a day
or two the prisoner kept up a constant annoyance by
throwing his lasts about the room.
Mr. Cronange said the prisoner threatened to cut his
throat, and then set to hammering the door with a last.
On Saturday night he (Mr. Cronat;g,-,) went out for a short
time, and on returning home found the street in an uproar,
persons saying the house was on fire. He got a constable
and went to the prisoner's room, and got the door partly
open, and then rs2ceived a volley of lasts and Lottles, and
on getting into the room found a heap of paper burning in
the middle of the floor, and a number of matches lying
about the room. At the station the prisoner again threat-
ened to have his life, and said that why he made the fire
was because he was cold:.
The prisoner, who beksved in a very exc:ted manner,
said he Lad a charge tOinake against the complainant.
Mr. Tyrwhitt told him that he would first Lave to
answer the charge preferred against himself.
Some other evideecu lrtving beTn given, the prisoner,
whose mind is e: idently affected, was remanded.
