LAW AND POLICE.

Tire CONSENT OF PAT-VT.IE3.—A dispute as to the manner
of taking accounts in the case of Begbie v. Fenwick,
arising out of three mortgages on some iron ship-
building premises, was argued in the Court of
Chancery. There had been a decree as to the
manner of taking them, and it was asserted that
the parties had consented to their being taken in a clif
ferent way. The principal evidence as to the consent was
a minute in the Chief Clerk's book, which was not
signed by either of the parties or their solicitors.
Lord Justice Giffard was of opinion that the alleged
arrangement was not proved, and the parties were therefore
entitled to their rights under the decree. He severely
censured the manner in which the minute had been
entered, and said ho hoped it would be the last time that
an attempt would be made in that court to enforce an
agreement made before the Chief Clerk, that was net
signed.
ADVICE TO SHAREHOLDERS.—In the Rolls Chambers
several applications were made to the Chief Clerk to sanc-
tion compromises in the case of the shareholders of the
New Zealand Banking Coinpany, such compromises having
been accepted by the official liquidator. All contributories
should know that official liquidators aro always open to
offers of compromise, rather than the parties should go
into bankruptcy.

A DISHONOURED CITEQUE.—A tea broker, named Wright,
carrying on business in Mincing-lane, has sued
.the regis-
tered officer of the National Bank :for damages sustained
through the dishonouring of a cheque. The plaintiff's
lodgments in the bank from October 1867 till last August
amounted to more than £60,000. InAugust he sent in a cteque
for 112.0,having then a balance of £530, and on the following
day received a note from the bank regretting that the
cheque had not been paid on presentation, through an
error of one of their clerks, but saying they had taken
it up. The plaintiff contended that his credit
was so much affected that ho had to make
an arrangement with his creditors. The defence
was that the mistake was unfortunate, but had not been
the cauzis of the defendant's suspension. Verdict for tho
plaintiff. Damages, 405., and the £lO paid into court.

A RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—The widow of a stoker in tho
employ of the North London Railway Company, has
brought an action against the Great Northern Railway
Company for compensation for the loss of her husband,
who was killed in the Copenhagen Tunnel at Holloway.
The North London has running powers over the Great
Northern line, but the signals being under the control of
the Great Northern, the latter wore held answerable for the
error which caused the accident. After some discussion
on the point, the plaintiff was nonsuited, with leave to
move the full court to enter a verdict for her for .£5O.

A HOPEFUL CrualAcrEn.—A little boy, 8 years old,
whose head hardly reached the top of the dock, was
charged with felony at the Chelmsford Assizes. He had
placed on iron chain on the line of the Great Eastern
Railway, near Littleburg and when one of his
playmates objected he threatened to break his
head with a stone. Since he has
.been in prison
he has been guilty of a series of mischievous acts such az
turning off the gas in tho chapel, pulling down bells, and
tearing up his blankets. The judge, after some delay,gave
him up to his friends, advising them to give him a good
flogging.

COLLrEItY CATASTRornE.—A serious explosion
occurred at Swan-lane Colliery, Ilindley-green, near Wigan,
on Friday, at six o'clock. Four men were seriously burned,
and another injured. The gas ignited at a naked light
before work was begun.
At the late meeting of the St. Pancras vestry, Mr.
Yolland, a representative of ward No. 8, asked a ciueation
as to the manner in which some contract was given. The
chairman of the committee of works commenced his
answer with : " Mr. Yolland might have seen by the
papers-" when he was interrupted by Mr. Yolland,
" I don't read the papers." Avestryman remarked," What
a happy man you must be, Yolland !"
TEE POLICE MAGISTEACY.—Mr. Benson, of the

Thames Police-court, will succeed the late Mr. Burcham

at the Southwark Court, and Mr. Franklin Lushington
will take the place vacated by Mr. Benson. The state-
ment that Mr. Bruce, of Leeds, is to be removed to London
is not true, neither is he even distantly related to the
Home Secretary, as has been reported.
The will of the Hon. and Right Rev. Samuel n al-
&grave, D.D., Bishop of Carlisle, was sworn uncle'
£20,000. He leaves his right of advowson and presentation
to the new ecclesiaastical dif trict of Newbarns and Hawcoat,
Dalton-en-Furness, Lancaster, to the Rev. Edward Auriol,
M.A., rector of St. Dunstan's-in-the-West, London, and the
Rev. Edmund Holland, Benhall Lodge, Saxmundham, Suf-
folk. He bequeaths to his wife an immediate legacy of
£5OO, and a life interest in the rest of the property, which,
after her decease, he leaves to be divided between his son
and daughter.
THE REV. C. H. SPURGEON.—AB our readers art
aware, the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon has been suffering for some
time r ast from a severe attack of smallpox. He has, however,
so far recovered as to be able to leave London. He started
on Thursday for Paris, and it is confidently hoped that he

The most noticeable financial movement is the
extraordinary fall in the value of gold in America.
What we have all along asserted is now distinctly
coming out, that the preference given by the Euro-
pean creditor to the United States bonds over gold,
and their consequent export instead of gold, has re-
sulted in an accumulation of the precious metal in
New York, which has thrown down its value and
hastened and simplified the return to specie pay-
ments. Another effect will be to quicken the rise
in value of these bonds, which far-sighted men know
to be the best investment in the world. The two
objects, the rise in the bonds and the fall of the
gold, are the birds Secretary Boutwell is determined
to bag with his one stone. That stone is a heavy
weight of gold in the Treasury, Is ith which he gluts
the market, changing the proceeds of the sales into
bonds, which he locks up—in truth, cancels them.
On the one side, these bonds are finding their way
into all sorts of secret recesses throughout Europe,
and on the other into the vaults of the Treasury,
never to be re-h-:sued. This burning of the candle
at both ends is having its effect in the enhanced
value of these securities in spite of the fill in all
property in America. Indeed that depression is
more apparent than true, for gold does not really
fall in value in America, being the world's stan-
dard ; it is the currency that is rising, it is the gas
that is escaping, and the balloon descending from
the rarified atmosphere to the foggy earth. A
telegram dated New York, Nov. 29, says:—
" Mr. Boutwell, the Secretary of the Treasury, has
ordered the usual sales of gold and purchases of bonds to
be continued during December. Gold has fallen 21 per
cent., and this movement is principally owing to the large
increase of coin in the banks."

James 11. Embry, of Kentucky, has declined the
appointment of Minister to Ecuador, a post which
appears to be going a-begging. People accept it,
look into it, and reject it, from which we argue that
there is something not particularly inviting inside.
Last week we told how Mr. Nunn, of Tennessee, had
thrown it up ; this week it is Mr. Embry, of Ken-
tucky, who it will be next week we do not undertake
to say ; but it is much too valuable as a gift in the
hands of the Secretary of State lightly to be got rid of.
Our readers may not at once perceive what its pecu-
liar. value is in the hands of Mr. Fish, therefore
we ask them to imagine themselves in his place,
with a crowd of importunate office-seekers at the'
door. Suppose an eager applicant to be admitted,
the Secretary quietly to unfold the mission to
Quito—the shock, the recoil, the retreat, and the
pursuit. Thus the position is reversed, and the
Secretary becomes the assailant, running after the
hitherto pursuing applicant with the mission to Ecu-
ador. Indeed he might drive back into the wilds
of Tennessee and Kentucky men as obstinate as
Andrew Johnson by making a good use of this
post. Is it surprising, then, that it has not been
filled for four years ? The following consular ap-
pointments have been made :—Orvin J. Rose, of
Illinois, United States Consul at Ancona, Italy ;
James It. Wheeler, of Massachusetts, Consul at
Kingston, Jamaica, vice Aaron Gregg, suspended ;
and John T. Robeson, of Tennessee, Consul at
Tangier, Morocco, vice A. Matthews, suspended.
The only newspaper telegram from America
during the week indicates an invasion by the
Jews of what has hitherto been an Irish monopoly.
One would suppose to hear an Hibernian orator
that the only wrongs ever endured were those in-
flicted on the Irish, and that the whole foreign
diplomacy of the United States ought to consist in
a direct interference i❑ the government of the
island. Other advocates of the oppressed have,
however, turned up at Washington. A delega-
tion of llebrews visited President Grant lately,
and urged him to intercede with the Emperor
Alexander on behalf of the persecuted Hebrews in
Russia. The President promised to comply with
their request.

To ascertain the real fall in the value of property the
sum must be worked out by the Rule of Three.
The Bonds in New York have fallen nearly in the
ratio of gold, but they are, in truth, moving up
wards in price, as shown by the rise in the European
markets. Here is the real value in Wall-street
brought into comparison with the English rates,
taking currency Exchange at 133.27: United States
Five-Twenty Bonds, of 1862, 84.60 ; ditto of 1865,
83.66 ; ditto of 1867, 85.16 ; Ten-Forty Bonds,
80.29 ; Illinois Shares, 99.42 ; and Erie, 20.45.
It is no wonder that the Secretary of the Trea-
sury continues his sale of gold and the purchase of
Bonds, as it augments in the Treasury even in
the face of the large payments lately made for inte-
rest on the Bonds, and the sales already com-
pleted. By the statement for the Ist inst., it ap-
pears that the gold accumulated in the Treasurer's
hands is $105,969,949. The greenbacks amount to
$11,802,765. The total debt, less the sum in the
Treasury, is $2,453,559,735. The decrease during
the month of November is $7,571,454, and the total
decrease since the commencement of Grant's Admi-
aistration is $71,903,424. The value of the bonds pur-
diased by the Treasury i 5576,902,226. The totaldebt,
according to Reuter's telegram, is $2,648,250,000.
From this of course there is neither deducted the
.-noney in the Treasury on the bonds purchased on
account of the Sinking Fund. The most gratifying
feature in Grant's administration is the extraordi-
nary increase in the Internal Revenue. When men
asserted that the succession of Andrew Johnson to
the Presidential chair cost the United States hun-
dreds of millions many smiled incredulously ascrib-
ing the exaggeration to a " liighfaluten" style ; but
he present administration is proving anything, it
.s proving the truth of this statement.
It becomes more and more evident that the set of
zhe tide is strongly against the Erie clique. Smart men
like them, who regard the world as their oyster,
meet with no sympathy from the world if the shell
closes on their fingers, and they begin to howl.
The necessity of their existence is success, and any
lifficulty brings the world on them like a pack of
.volves on the track of a wounded brother. It is for
this reason we have anticipated the downfall of the
clique, since the collapse of the great gold " cor-
ner." A main step seems to have been accom-
plished in wresting from their grasp the At-
lantic and Great Western Railway. Fortunately
for the proprietors it was essentially an Ohio
in had it been in the State of New York
~hey would have had to await further develop-
,neuts. If the Supreme Court of that State
issues an injunction, another Court sets it aside ;
one orders the Sheriff to act, the other stays pro-
_Tedings, and all this can be carried on, as the Erie
clique have there a judge and a court of their own.
In Ohio, however, the question can be tried on its
)wn merits, and the failure of the Erie to observe
the contract is too clear for mystification; hence the
removal of Gould and Fisk, and the substitution for
them of Judge llitchcock as receiver. This change
has been hailed with satisfaction in Europe, though
he particulars are as yet unknown. A strange re-
port had been circulated in New York that Lane
aad written urgently to Jay Gould to proceed at
)nee to Acton, or James Fisk, jun., would betray
the clique ; that he was in communication with the
mercy, and that the band was in danger. If we
,ranted a sign of what is ahead, we could not have
i better than in this turning and rending of each
other by the conspirators, being as soundings to a
sailor. If such clever fellows as Messrs. Gould and
Fisk undoubtedly are, should wreck so grand a
position as that to which they had attained, it will
be one of the most striking instances ever recorded
)f the truth of the proverb that " Honesty is the
best policy."

The Message of such a President as Grant, as-
sumes a value very different to the Message of an
Andrew Johnson, for the simple reason that Grant's
is uttered by a man wielding power, whereas a recom-
mendation by Andrew Johnson lessened the chance
of that measure's adoption. It is not then sur-
prising that many rumours should precede the de-
livery of so important a Message. It is said that
the President recommends the early resumption of
specie payment, going against a strong Western
party, headed by Senator Morton of Indiana.
Whether Grant is a simple or profound statesman,
his policy appears closely to resemble that of Mr.
Gladstone, and underneath all lies the one word,
economy. It is said the Message will earnestly
advocate the reduction of the Public Expenditures.

Our readers will see in another column a con-
densed account of a most interesting lecture by Senator
Sumner on "Caste." There is no greater distinction than
colour, and the feeling of superiority on the part of whites
can only be eradicated in the course of generations. No
amount of lecturing will do it, but the rise on the part of
the negro to a real equality may in time have the effect.
That the citizens of the United States are making great
strides to conquer their inveterate prejudice is shown by
passing events. For instance, a strange scene occurre(l at
the French Opera-house at New Orleans a few weeks ago.
The theatre was full, the play progressing, when an in-
stantaneous change occurred. A black gentleman entered
a box with his family. There was a time when so inso-
lent an invader of white rights would have had the thick-
ness of his skull tested by a bullet, but though numbers
at once left their places, the family of colour remained and
enjoyed this triumph even in the City of New Orleans.
The drawback frauds at the New York Custom-
house continue to excite the liveliest interest, not only on
account of their magnitude, but of the social position of
those accused. Deputy-Collector Samuel T. Blatchford
was said to have fled to Canada, but there is evidence
that he is still in New York, though so effectually con-
cealed as to baffle the two detectives that have been after
him. Next to him in alleged criminality is Francis A.
Howard, formerly in the Washington Treasury Depart-
ment, now a banker in Wall-street. He has been indicted
for his offences, and is under $20,000 bail. Charles J.
Theriott, who succeeded Blatchford as chief clerk of the
Drawback Bureau in the Custom-house, is also indicted
and under $lO,OOO bail, while Hugo Somers, who preceded
Blatchford in the same position, and is said to have been
the first official connected with these frauds, has since
died. Next in culpability to these dishonest officers
should be placed the three Caldwells, who made out the
fraudulent claims and pocketed two-fifths of the proceeds.
James Caldwell is under $lO,OOO bail, but John S. and
Robert B. have fled to Canada. Next to the Caldwells
come William P. Whimster, twice indicted under $20,000
bail, and flying from a third warrant. James T.
Wellwood and C. B. Young, are hiding from arrest,
Charles It. Squire:4, IL A. Dickinson, George W. Green;
and Alexander Grant, jun., indicted and under $lO,OOO
bail ; Romeyn Mullig,an and L. L. Laidlaw, under bail in
the same amount; Julius 11. Mott, indicted and fled to
California ; William H. Freer, indicted and escaped to
Europe ; William J. Korn, indicted and under $lO,OOO
bail; and Charles H. Wilson, both of whom have turned
State's evidence. There are several others whose cases
are under invest'gation, but the evidence against them is
not enough to warrant their arrest or the publication of
their names. Deputy-Attorney Pierrepont will prosecute
to the full extent of the law, and Secretary Boutwell has
himself been narrowly inquiring into these frauds, which
have been brought as a charge against his and the Presi-
dent's appointments, although most of them were actually
committed by the nominees of Andrew Johnson, and dis-
covered by the present incumbents.
In raising the wreck of the British frigate
Augusta some old English relics have been recovered.
That vessel joined a small squadron in the year 1777,
blockading the Delaware River. Thus, reinforced on the
20th October, the fortifications covering Philadelphia
were attacked, but after a long fight the British ships
were driven off. The Augusta, however, which was the
largest and most unweildy, grounded, whereon the forts
poured into her hot shot, which set her on fire, and out of
her crow of 300, half perished. She was built of Irish
oak, which is said to be still in perfect preservation, and
the wreck to remain whole, though only bolted together
with the same material. She has been moved up the river
as far as Gloucester, and silver spoons and some old guineas
taken out of her.

The Times pats the United States on the back,
And says, "That's a good boy, go in and take San
Domingo." Experience has shown Great Britain
that it is better to get fertile territories inhabited by
Alien races, ruled well by others, than by Great
Britain. The benefits of the good government are
shared by all commerical nations, the drawbacks
fall on the ambitious Power which desire to sway.
such is the. pure " cussedness" of human nature
that nothing is more calculated to "choke" America
" off " annexation than this attitude of Great
Britain. Alarm, denunciation, opposition, would
Immediately have aroused the feeling that there was
a prize within the grasp, and a determination to
secure it. Now, however, the Senate will .scan
carefully the estimated cost and the probable ad-
vantages, and it is evident that the feeling of the
country does not favour annexation, as it knows it
has quite enough to attend to its own affairs with-
out undertaking to manage those of other people.
The holders of San Domingo Bonds naturally re-
joice at the prospect of turning their comparatively
worthless paper into agood deal like:Five-Twenties,
and doubtless this has something to do with the
shout wafted to Brother Jonathan to go and annex ;
but we are glad the Senate are likely effectually to
stop these annexations, although we confess to the
wish to see Cuba and San Domingo under a firm,
stable, and improving Government. General Bab-
cock and Ingalls have left for San Domingo to aid
the negotiations in progress for the annexation.
We are informed by a telegram, dated New
York, Nov. 27, that Mr. Webster, the counsel for
the Spanish Government, has filed a motion to
quash the writ of seizure and to dismiss the libel
against the Spanish gunboats. Senor Sernus, the
Cuban Envoy, has made an application to District
Attorney Pierrepont for permission to appear in
his official capacity in the suit which has been in-
stituted against the Spanish gunboats. • M. Freyre,
the Peruvian Minister, is the sole prosecutor in
the case. A plot has been discovered among the
Cuban residents of New York to burn the gun-
boats.

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Silver leave in the Cimbria
this day for the United States, where Mr Silver will
probably spend the most of his future. In compliance
with a request, made some. years since, by the curator of
the South Kensington Museum, Mr. Silver has coniributed
a number of models representing different modifications of
his marine governors, which are now on exhibition there,
in a glass case containing models of his works only. A floe
portrait of Mr. Silver, a copy from a splendid likeness,
painted by Miss Louisa Starr, is also prepared for its
place amongst others of different inventors, including that
of the late Mr Howe. During the alterations which the
Museum buildings aro now undergoing the portraits for-
merly arranged along the walls of the old buildings are not
at present on exhibition, with the exception of that of Mr.
Silv, r. which is suspended in the private office of the
curator, F. P. Smith, Esq.

Particulars of the Red River insurrection have
been received both at St. Paul and at Toronto.
Governor M'Dougall had advanced to the Com-
pany's post, two miles over the frontier. Mr. Pro-
vencher was sent forward to parley with the insur-
gent; 500 strong, when he was made prisoner, and
the Governor beleaguered, but no resistance being
attempted, he was on the 2d Nov. escorted back into
Dacotah by the insurgents, who are chiefly French.
The Governor remains encamped atPembina. The
rebels have established a Provisional Government,
and they demand a territorial Government with a
Legislature chosen by the people ; a Homestead
Act, and a fund for school purposes and inter-
nal improvements. Much indignation has been ex-
pressed in Canada at the action of these French and
half-castes. Though Mr. M'Dougall's family re-
turned to Canada, he and his Staff will await the

Jo Boston a man 69 years of age murdered his
wife, who is only nine years younger, in a fit of jealousy.
Edmund Healey was married to the woman he murdered
much against her will, 36 years ago, in Ireland. Shortly
after they proceeded to South Boston, where they occupied
the basement of No. 99, Silver-street. They had a son,now
21 years of age, and it was he who gave information to
the police. It appears that Healey had complained of the
too familiar terms on which his wife was with another
man, and he found this man in her company about
six weeks before, when he drove him from the
house, and, turning to his wife, swore that he would
have her lift if he QYOX ought thorn together tig4iu. It

asserted that the murder was perpetrated without any un-
usual noise. The doors were open, and there had evidently
been no quarrel nor any boisterous demonstration, but as
the son entered he saw his father strike his mother with
an axe, and he brought the police to the house. Passing
through the grocery to the kitchen they found Mrs. Healey
lying upon the floor in a pool of blood, and the furniture
and walls also bespattered. The woman's head had been
literally smashed to pieces, and from the ghastly wounds
the brains had run to the floor, and mingled with the life-
blood of the victim. Near the body lay the instrument
with which the deed had been perpetrated, a common,
long-handled axe. The murderer had washed his hands,
cleaned his clothing, and at this time was very coolly
waiting on customers in the grocery in front, as calm and
collected as a man could be under the most favourable cir-
cumstances.
S. B. Howes, formerly !Toprietor of Howes and
Cushing's American Circus, which ho transported from
America to England, in 1857, and met with such great
success at the Alhambra Pnlace,London, under the patron-
age of the Queen, and who was fortunate enough about
that time to invest the proceeds of his English speculation
in Chicago Real Estate, is now supposed to be the wealthiest
individual ever engaged in the equestrian profession. The
value of his property at the present time is said to be up-
wards of a million dollars. He is now residing at Upper
Norwood, near London.
The case against General Thomas Ewing,
brought by ex-Mayor Anthony, of Leavenworth, Kansas,
has failed, the verdict of the jury being for the defendant.
The action was for $20,000 damages for false arrest dur-
ing the war. Anthony was then Mayor of Leavenworth, and
ho was seized and carried to Missouri, and there dis-
charged by Cleneral Ewing. Another case arising out of
proceedings during the war is thus announced : —Gen.
Benjamin F. Butler has been sued in the Superior Court
of New York, by Miss Rowena Florence of New Orleans,
niece of the late Gen. Twiggs, for the recovery of the
value of spoons and other silver ware and table furni-
niture, appropriated by Butler, while in command of New
Orleans in the spring of 1862, together with three splendid
swords presented to Gen. Twiggs by the United States
Government and the States of Texas and Georgia. Miss
Florence lays her damages at $37,000, and Judge Jones
granted an order of arrest on Tuesday against Butler,
fixing the amount of bail at $15,000.
Senator Edwards, of Vermont, has just arrived
at Washington, Senator Ramsay, of Minnesota, reached
New York, Nov. 18, from Europe by the Hammonia ; ho
is believed to carry with him the Postal Treaty he went
to negotiate with the French Government. General Meade
has lately arrived at Philadelphia, and Father Hyacinthe,
after spending a few hours at Hartford, proceeded to
Boston, where the mail left him.
The Chinese Embassy was received at Berlin in an
official audience by the King on Thursday afternoon. Mr.
Burlingame presented his credentials, and most friendly
sentiments wore exchanged between King William and
Mr. Burlingame, in the name of the Emperor of China.
THE PROPOSED UNIVERSAL EXPOSITION IN
WASHINGTON, 1871.—We are advised that most active
steps aro being taken to carry oat the project of this
national enterprise in a thorough and most comprehensive
manner. A large mays meeting has been held in Washing-
ton,
attended by many prominent citizens, where the pro-
position was adopted with great unanimity and enthu-
siasm. At this a committee of one hundred was ap-
pointed to prepare a plan of operations. This committee
has been divided into sub-committees composed of prac-
tical men, each undertaking certain appropriate duties.
A. Charter of Incorporation has been drawn up, and will
be presented to Congress at its first meeting. Tho chair-
man of the Executive Committee is Gen. 0. 0. Howard,
whose name is sufficient evidence of energy and ability.
Great interest has boon expressed by the President, the
Cabinet, and all Government officials, and every facility
offered by the various departments. There can be no
question but that the results of such an exposition would
be of incalculable service to the country, both finan-
cially and commercially, and it would certainly have the
effect of turning towards the United States a largo cur-
rent of travel, and also a large class of foreign exhi-
bitors anxious to secure an opening up of business with
the -United States. Enthusiasm on this subject continues
to increase, and its success is assured. The sum of $150,000
has already been subscribed by the citizens of Washing-
ton, and large sums are promised. Among the subscribers
aro William A. Corcoran, $20,000 ; Matthew Emery,
$10,000; Henry D. Cooke, $20,000; Alexander R. Shep-
pard, $lO,OOO ; Arch() Polls, $5,000 ; J. A. Thompson,

Three soldiers hunting near Fort Fetterman, in
Wyoming Territory, were attacked by 60 Sioux of Red
Clown's band, and one only escaped, being an old hunter
accustomed to Indian warfare. A troop was sent in pur-
suit, but failed to overtake the Indians. The bodies of
the two soldiers were recovered, but were neither scalped
nor mutilated. Indeed, the Indians left the guns, ammu-
nition, and equipments, only taking the horses. John
Richard, late Indian trader at Fort Fetterman, is reported
to have led the band. He had murdered a soldier and
escaped to the Indians, whom he informed that the whites
intend to deny food and ammunition to the Red men till
they are exhausted, and then to massacre all on the plains.
He is represented as intelligent, energetic, and brave,
therefore dangerous as the leader of a war party. Go-
vernor Campbell is confident that the Sioux mean mis-
chief. The Cherokee Indians have organised their legis-
lature, electing A. S. Scraper President of the Senate, and
"Stand Whirlwind" Speaker of the Council. Much busi-
ness is said to be before the Council, and among the im-
portant Acts are those socuring tho rights of citizens as
well as the rights of property. These Indians are prosper-
ous, and daily becoming more united as the old feuds die
out.
Another violent gale has burst over Canada and
the Northern States. On Lake Erie several vessels hive
been lost, so also on Lake Ontario. At Buffalo the water
in the harbour rose more than two feet, and the waves
broke furiously over the breakwater, carrying a portion
of it away. The storm extended over the New England
States, where much damage was done. At Shiloh a freight
oar was driven by the wind from the side track, and blown
six miles down the road, when the express train ran into
it, dangerously wounding both the engineer and the fire-
man, and wrecking the engine and two baggage cars. In
Philadelphia the wall of the Patterson warehouse, lately
destroyed by fire, was thrown by the strength of the
tempest upon the roof of a store, destroying the building,
but fortunately it was unoccupied. Much property was
also damaged in Baltimore.
William Cornell Jewett has arrived at Washing-
ton trom Europe. He has obtained from the King of the
Netherlands a concession to land and use on Holland soil an
ocean cable from New York. Mr. Jewett intends bringing
the subject before the President. Another line for Ger-
many has boon secured through the Gorman American
Telegraph Company, who have obtained a concession
from the North German Confederation to forward all naes-
rages from North Germany, not otherwise expressly di-
rected. A three-wire cable is to be laid from North Ger-
many to Lowestoft, two conductors to be used for German-
English messages, and the third exclusively for Gorman-
American messages. This third wire is to be connected
with ono of the Anglo-American wires from Telegraph-
street to the United States, which is agreed to be appro-
priated, but not exclusively, for the transmission of Ger-
man- American correspondence. The messages will he
sent in the order of reception at the terminal and inter-
mediate stations as required bp the International Tele-
graph Convention. The Anglo-American and Newfound-
land Companies are to give a rebate to the German Com-
pany on messages passing through the new cable and the
Atlantic lines, but the chief source of revenue of the new
company is expected to be the German-English traffic,
which has increased enormously of late years. A hundred
thousand thalors, caution money, have been deposited, and
the necessary arrangements aro being made.
The Nation lately remarked that there was no
part of the Saturday Review worse than its reviews of Ame-
rican books, in which it is singularly weak. We see in
one of these reviews that it has added Montana to the
States of the Union. After it has constructed a State out
of Alaska, the territory of the Republic will be constructed,
and it may then sit down and contemplate its work with sa-
tisfaction. It is evident that the Saturday Review does not
know the c:ifference between a Territory and a State ; but
it would be ready enough to sneer at the ignorance
o f an American who made blunders as gross in discuss-
ing Europe. The Standard is often very queer in its geo-
graphy, but then we aro all liable to error, and places
may be wholly beneath the notice of the old dame en-
throned in Shoe-lane. Nevertheless sbe is not above an
article extending over more than a column and a half of
tho biggest newspaper in the world about such paltry places
as New Zealand and Australia. In giving vent to her feel-
ings on the ties of brotherhood existing between these colo-
nies, while assorting the duty of supporting the colony to be
is with the mother country, she says—" There is no connec-
tion between New Zealand and Auckland, nor is Australia re-
sponsible for any share in the New Zealand Government."
Considering that Auckland is the chief city of New Zea-
land, the sentence is remarkable. Probably the dame
meant Sydney, but did not think it worth altering ,m

General Adam Badeau, Assistant-Secretary of the
United States Legation in London, will, wo learn, spend
most of the winter in Washington in completing his Life
of General Grant. The MSS. which form the second and
concluding volume are well advanced, and will be published
by Messrs. Appleton, of New York. General Badeau
be-
foz@ the war wrote for the NOW 'Yea press, and was the

author of " The Vagabond " papers. The first volume of
the Life of General Grant was favourably received by
the English press; and, considering General Badeau's in-
timate acquaintance with the President, on whose staff he
was throughout the war, being always at his side, and
whose character he knows perhaps better than Grant does
himself, the work cannot fail to be of interest. As far as
personal experience goes, but one man could have known
the circumstances of the President's career during the war
better, and he, Gen. Rawlings, is dead.
Among the interesting reports is that of General
Howard, Commissioner of the Freedman's Bureau. He
has reduced the establishment since last year in this de.
gree :—Then there were on duty in the Bureau 141 com-
missioned officers, 412 civilian agents, and 348 clerks;
now there aro but 15 officers, 71 agents, and 72 clerks•
Then clothing and rations were issued to the destitute,
costing on an average $93,700 per month ; now no such
supplies aro issued, except to the sick in hospital. Then
there were 21 hospitals, 48 dispensaries, 85 surgeons, and
5,400 patients ; now there are but 2 hospitals, no dispen-
saries, 5
.surgeons, and 511 patients. Then transporta-
tion and stores wore furnished at a cost of $24,840 per
month ; now no transportation orders are given. Beyond
this there can be no reduction. The destitute, mostly
women and children, had been relieved at a cost of
$252,547, but the masses are self-supporting, and many
doing a lucrative business, indeed the officers give as en-
couraging report of the progress of the Freedmen. Ac-
cording to the details wo last week published from official
returns there are 2,118 schools, 2,455 teachers, and 114,522
pupils within the jurisdiction of the Bureau. Gen. Howard
thinks that the educational works of theßureau must be:con-
tinued in the interests of the country until the free school
system is established in all the Southern States. It is all
the more incumbent to help the Freedmen, as they show a
decided inclination towards helping themselves, having
raised and expended on school purposes alone $2007000.
Tho Bureau, in all, has spent $13,029,816, and it has done
a most useful work in aiding the negroes during a transi-
tion period of great difficulty. The question was whether
they should sink into something worse than the negroes
of Jamaica, or should be assisted into the path of improve-
ment, by which they might fit themselves for the duties
of citizenship. Gen. Howard advises Congress to estab-
lish free schools throughout the South, in case the States
do not furnish them at an early day, which he thinks
Congress should then undertake, as a duty to the nation
and on the plea of self-preservation.

A question of interest to foreigners is being tried
in the Court of Claims at Washington. Congress, in
1868, passed a law intended to modify another, which,
when originally drawn, was designed to prevent English-
men from bringing suits against the United States Govern-
ment, as the law of England did not permit such suits to be
brought byAmericans against the English Crown. The first
Act was so broad as to prohibit the adjudication on any fo-
reigner' claims by American Courts, and the modification
included a provision of reciprocity. The present case is
brought by a Frenchman named Dauphine, to recover the
proceeds of 100 bales of his cotton, seized and sold by the
Government during the war. His solicitor had first to
show that France permitted such suits to be brought
against its Government by foreigners, which he asserted
it did, on security for costs being furnished, unless the
suitor was in possession of property suNtient for the pur-
pose in France. On the decision in this case depends
forty-three others, involving millions of dollars, so that
it will bo watched with interest.

The National Land Company, according to intel-
ligence from St. Louis, appears to be doing a good and a
prosperous work, and we recommend Emigration Societies
in England to get into communication with it. The sales
of land -for the last year were mostly along the Kansas
Pacific Railroad, where 147,581 acres yielded $521,32L Of
this tract 33,000 acres were bought by a colony composed of
English families, numbering 1,200, who have founded the
village of Wakefield in Kansas, near the Pacific Railroad
of that State. An Agricultural College and school have on
the land been established by them to receive and educate
orphan boys from the London S,thool and Farm, which the
intelligence from St. Louis says is fostered and controlled
by the Reform Society of Loudon, Lord Shaftesbury being
the President. By an expenditure of sixpence a family
in London might address the president, of this college, or
any settler in Wakefield, and ask for information from the
spot. There is a bias in every account, either for or
against, dictated by prejudice or interest, but intending
emigrants must learn to form their own conclusions from
all the information they can gather. We intend, as we
have elsewhere announced, to include Kansas in the short
series of articles we now intend to print, of which the first
appears in our present issue, and henceforth we will devote
a greater portion of our space to information which may be
useful to emigrants.

The steam communication lately opened between
New York and Copenhagen has had the effect of largely
increasing Scandinavian emigration to the United States.
In 1868 tho members were 5,600 ; in 1869 there were
9,51 a, of whom over 5,500 were Swede; over 3,000 were
Danes, and upwards of 700 were from other localities.
The National Land Company located along the Kansas
Pacific Railroad during the year 3,000 Swedish, Nor-
wegian, and Danish immigrants, buyers, and settlers, in
addition to a large number of actual settlers from other
count ies.

Particulars of the terrible accident near San Fran-
cisco on the Western Pacific Railroad have been received.
The eastern bound train, of eight cars, one a sleeping car,
came into collision with the Alameda Ferry train of four
cars close to San Leandro, both going at about 20 miles an
hour. Upon arriving at the switch where the Western
Pacific connects with the Alameda Road, the train slowed,
and the switch-tender being questioned whether the Ala-
meda train had passed, answered, "Ail right, go ahead."
The country is a plain, on which the trains can be seen
far off, but the morning was foggy. The Western train
had left punctually, but it may have been delayed by the
fog, for the station-master is asserted to have said that, as
it was behind time, he would not wait for it, and to have gone
into the house for breakfast. While inside a gravel train
passed which he supposed was the Alameda train ; hence,
when the Western Pacific train came up, the station mas-
ter replied to the engineer who asked if the train had
passed, that it was "All right, go ahead." Another account
ascribes the accident to negligence on the part of the switch-
tender at the connection, but to whoever the blame is
attributable almost immediately after the Western Pacific
train had run on the collision occurred, the engines being
smashed and the cars telescoped, except the sleeping car,
wherein the passengers escaped unhurt. Most of the killed
and wounded were in the Western Pacific train, which
presented a shocking sight, the wounded being crushed
betwean the cars as they shut up into each other. One
man had his legs amputated before he could be released.
The names of the killed aro—Alexander W. Baldwin,
United States District Judge of Nevada, Virginia City ;
Edward Anderson, engineer of Western Pacific train ;
WDonald, roadmaster of the California Pacific Railroad ;
Mr. Boulet, Principal of the Young Ladies' Seminary at
Oakland; Charles Martin, fireman of Alameda train; Geo.
Thompson, fireman of the Western Pacific train ; David
Ward, merchant, of San Francisco ; James Connolly, of
Carroll Station ; Max Ehrman, merchant, of San Jose ;
man supposed to be B. H. Fox, from papers found on his
body ; Robert Oven, conductor on the Alameda train ; 11.
Peterson, of Corral Hollow ; F. B. Milliken, brakeman on
Western Pacific Road ; C. T. Owen, an unknown man ;
and it-is feared that the wounded will exceed twenty. The
coroner's jury, after taking evidence, adjourned, but the
testimony of the switch tender at Simpson's station re-
vealed hint to be entirely ignorant of his duties. Al-
though having a time. table, he could neither read nor
write, and did not know which train had the right to the
track.

The following information is extracted from the
letter of a Washington correspondent: -" Capt. Walter S.
Long, 40th Infantry, appointed from Maryland, has boon die-
missed from the army for embezzlement and conduct un-
becoming an officer and a gentleman, and sentenced to six
months' imprisonment unless the amount embezzled is re-
turned." We supposed that law, whether military or civil,
was intended for the suppression of crime; that punish-
ment was not dictated by revenge nor influenced by resti-
tution, but was regarded simply in the light of a
deterrent. Here, however, the correspondent would
lead us to believe that the Government made that sort of
agreement with the officer who had robbed it which an indi-
vidual not very strict might with the thief who had stolen
the watch that he earnestly desired to recover. "If you
will give it me back, 1 will let you go, and say nothing more
about it." If army officers are allowed to steal, and keep
the plunder when undetected, with the more proviso that
they return the money if the theft is discovered, stealing
will become a most attractive calling.
An American papers vs that Francis Clare Ford,
First Secretary of the British Legation in Washington,
is writing an exhaustive work on the labour movement in
England and the United States, which he is preparing by
order of his Government. The work will be published
about the Ist of January. Much information has lately
appeared in the London Spectator on labour in the United
States, being the views of English workmen who have
visited the Republic. Another series has been commenced
from one of the skilled labourers recently sent to the Cor-
nell University at Ithaca from England.
Last Wednesday, General Samuel F. and Mrs.
Cary, of Cincinnati, Ohio, received a dejeuner at the
Gresham Hotel, Dublin, from the Executive Committee of
the Irish Permissive Bill Association. General Cary, in
responding to the resolution of cordial welcome, after
paying a compliment to the Irish in America,explained how
the Maine Liquor Law worked there, how the constitution
of his own State, Ohio, forbad license laws, and how all
ministers of every denomination, and all local authorities
were on their side against the grog shops. After addressing
himself eloquently and earnestly to this subject, he pointed
out the groat injury drink had done the Irish in America,
and concluded by thanking the large and influential
meeting, consisting of upwards of 80 ladies and gentle-
men, who had accorded to him and his wife so cordial a
greeting.

Vincent Colyer has arrived at San Franciso with
a petition to President Grant, signed by 40 prominent
citizens of Victoria, asking that British Columbia be an.
nexed to the United States.

there is also an article of much interest to archa3ologis.ts,
.describing the discoveries lately made near Chicago,

These discoveries arose from an investigation of the
mounds, which have lately been exciting more interest
than ever. The remains of 20 human beings have been

dug out, two skeletons being almost entire.—The head of
the New Fork Times' editorial staff is now Mr. Geo. Shep-

Louis Jennings, late of the London Times, and husband of
Miss Henriques, the actress, George Pond, formerly of the
Army and Navy Journal, and Henry Sedley, formerly of
the Round Table. Mr. Jones, the publisher, acts as courts
of appeals, and the paper is certainly running very well
under i:s now regime.
ELECTION NEWS.—the Tribune gives the follow-
ing as the approximate results of the New York State
elections :—" On Secretary of State and Controller we

Essex, Fultou, Jefferson, Otsego, Stouben, and Ulster,
