GOLD IN ALASKA.

The Californian papers state that large deposits of gold
have been found in Alaska, the dismal region which Mr.
Seward purchasei from Russia,. Specimens were obtained
by a Russian engineer from the few Indians who inhabit
this desolate spot, and further examination revealed the
existence of rich mines. But the cliniate and the terribly
desolate character of the country will probably prevent
these gold deposits from being largely worked. Mining
would be practicable during only five months of the year.

DIFFICULTIES ABOUT CUBA.

General Dulce, Captain-General of Cuba, recently pub.
lished a proclamation ordering the immediate execution of
persons carrying contraband of war. The Owl thinks that
this determination menaced the friendly relations between
England and Spain, and is glad to hear that the Madrid
Government does not intend to justify it. The fact is,
that the proclamation was a mere feint. The Spaniards
have been guilty of cruelties towards the insurgent
Cubans, but it is hardly likely that they would dare to
execute the crew of a blockade runner. Another state-
ment is equally inexplicable. If it be proved that the
Mary Lowell was illegally captured by the Spaniards in
British waters, the Americans mean to claim of vs damages
for her detention, because, it is to be presumed, wo
did not prevent the capture! This is simply sheer non-
sense.

FOREIGN NOTES.

ME ALABAMA CLAIMS.

The vote upon the Clarendon-Johnson Treaty in the
United States Senate-54 to I—fairly represents the cur-
rent of American opinion. Scarcely any two Americans
agree as to the precise nature of the claims to be made
upon England, but almost all concur that the terms of Mr.
Reverdy Johnson's treaty are thoroughly unsatisfactory.
But the new number of the _Mirth American Rains
contains an article by Mr. Henry B. Adams, son
of the late United States Minister to this country, and,
if report speaks correctly, Mr. Adams utterly condemns
the rejection of the Alabama Treaty. He regards the
vote of the Senate as the reckless abandonment of the
greatest victory ever achieved by American diplomacy.
England made very great concessions to bring about this
settlement. America conceded nothing but the principle
of arbitration. Could the United States, asks Mr. Adams,
concede less without taking the law into its own hands?
The only conclusion that foreigners can come to is Ozat
the Senate desires to reserve these claims as a pretext for
territorial agrandiseznent at some future time. Mr.
Adams is of opinion, indeed, that British North America
should fall to the United States—that such a result would
be to the interest of England ; but he apparently holds
that the Alabama claims ought not to be made the hinge
on which this transfer of territory is to turn. Similarly
moderate writing may be found in the New York Times
and the /ration, but the balance of popular sentiment is all
on the other side.

THE REDUCTION OF NEWSPAPER POSTAGE.

---
The Marquis of Harlington is moving in the
matter of the reduction of newspaper postage. Ile has
ordered inquiries to be made of business men and others
throughout the country as to the probable effect of
the change on correspondence generally and on the
work at the various offices. The Advertiser s lys
nf nrinnin.ll &Beers in
the mail department, a series o experiments is about
to be made upon one of the northern lines with an
improved mail-bag delivery app !rains, by which it is
stated several bags may be received and delivered at
the different stations whilst the trains are at their
ordinary speed, and irrespective of their weight, so
as to meet the difficulty named by the Postmrster-
General as at present existing when the eebate too':
pace in the House of Commons upon Mr. Graves's
motion. The experiments will take place as soon as
the Post Office authorities have had time to fit up
the carriages for the purpose, the use of which has
been readily granted by the railway company.

LONDON DIPIZOVE3IENTS.
We have no Haussmann to improve our metro-
polis; and we have a Chancellor of the Exchequer,
who—while he has no appreciation of beauty in
public buildings—is determined to keep a well-locked
cash-box. But London is improving nevertheless.
Miss Burdett Coutts has recently put a very
beautiful market in the midst of the slums
of Bethnal-green ; the Thames Embankment will
be when finished the finest walk in the kingdom—
and,. perhaps, if all is done that is talked of, the
finest in the world ; more to the west, mansions are
springing up, which have some real architectural
beauty; and the small, cramped shops are, in most
of the principal thoronglif4res, being g, radually
turned. into spacious, well-built houses of business.
r wo very important works are also to be opened
to public use in June or Jul
is the Ilolborn Viaduct y. The first
, across Farrin,don-
street. This, while it would hardly slirscv n strict student of matheties, will be the meani of
improving the neighbourhood very considerably.
And the new bridge at Blackfriars is to be opened
nearly about the same time. The bridge has been
enthusiastically described as the best bridge across
the Thames. But it will be hard to beat the maslive
granite of Waterloo, or the neat, finished appearance
of Westminster.

TAE BETTING-HOUSE ACT.

Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Mr. Henry Beaumont; said it
was altogether accurate to say that the Betting-house Act
was enforced. During the last four years there had b3on
five convictions at least, and the reason there had not been
more was that there was very great difficulty in obtaining
a conviction in consequence of its being necessary to prove
the fact that betting took place within the house. The
owners of these betting houses wore particularly cautious
to allow no betting to take place before any strangers,
and therefore the proving the offence was a matter
of great difficulty. There had, however, been a
conviction for infringing the act within the
last year. The Chief Commissioner of Police
was now engaged in taking steps to suppress all illegal
betting, and in all cases where the necessary evidence
could be obtained it was his intention to press most
strongly for a conviction.

On the same evening the Book Society for Promoting

anniversary by a sozre'e at Radley's Ilotel, Bridge-street,
I3lackfriars, over which General H. Aylmer presided.
The operations of the societyare not confined to this country,
but extend to India, Africa, America, Australia, and New
Zealand, where it has friends and supporters. Thedemand
for its publications continues to increase in all parts of
the world, and besides having sent out many thousands of
a large illustrated Bunyan's " Pilgrim's Progress,' the
issue of the penny edition had reached close upon a
million copies. Fox's " Book of Martyrs " had likewise
been in great request, as had also several modern works
addressed to women and children, and the aim of the
society is to satisfy this growing thirst for religious litera-
ture, by making the best books the cheapest. The
receipts of the past year amounted to £8,760 60. Bd., and
the expenditure to £8,610 6s. 2d.

In his charge to his clergy at his spring visitation, the
Archdeacon of Winchester (the Rev. Canon Jacob),
speaking of the health of the bishop of the diocell?
said :—" Our bishop is as competent and as able, save is
mere manual and vocal power, as ever he was. n"
speech, the only infirmity which is not entirely removed'
is sufficient for ordinary conversation, and there is 11°
a letter—and the correspondence averages at les!",,
twenty letters a day—which is not answered in the daY,lll
the fulness of his own unbiassed judgment. There is ilot,e
parish in the diocese which is not within the grasp dill°
tenacious and exact memory. As God has removed one
and another from among us, he has lamented the death,
and has poured out his commiseration for the mourning
family by an immediate letter of condolence. Even •
birthday, at least as remarkable as that of ourbeloved dean!'
was not forgotten, and a letter greeting the dean on 1'1:
ninety-third birthday was found on the deanery breahbs"
table on the 26th of February last. It is far too much t°
say there is an absence of episcopal supervision. Witl!:
memory so fully charged with diocesan details, and 'Pt:
a watchfulness always awake, you need not suspect 03'
there will be any relaxation of episcopal vigilance. I
be over sanguine as to the perfect recovery of his speec°'
but it is not impossible, unless a pressure is put upon him
under which the whole man may succumb." It maY be
added that the Bishop is 78 years of age.
There are very unfavourable accounts of the health °f,
the Bishop of Carlisle. his lordship left home sever!'
weeks ago and proceeded to France with a view to recruit'
ing his health, and obtaining the advice of some eminent
French physicians. We regret to learn, however, that sc;
improvement has taken place. The Carlisle Jourscia
says :—" It is recommended that his lordship *Joni t
return to England, if equal to the journey, as the bee
advice in .London is considered more important than AP/
change of air or sojourn on the Continent."

FOREIG,N

TTIE BELGIAN Drrnerixt.
The Temps confidently repeats the statement made amt
little time ago that Quern Victoria bad written very
pressing autograph letter to the Emperor iN'apoletu re.
erecting the troublesome railway dispute. The remps
cannot state how far this communication may have in-
fluenced the precipitate settlement of the dispute, but it
believes that the danger of the question has altogether die,
appeared.
It may now be taken for certain that the terms of settle.
merit do not involve the leasing of the Belgian lines, that
they do not go - beyond the establishment of an interna-
tional system of traffic ; in short, that the firmness of the
Belgian Government has prevailed. Curiously enough,
the Constitutionnel, a French semi-official paper, asserts
that the settlement is favourable to Belgium, and contra-
dicts the Independance, a pelgian paper which feared
that its Government had got the worst of the nego-
tiations. The Constitutioune/ says that the Brussels
Cabinet some time ago made exiklAnatlons which assured
the French Government that the law respecting railway
corwentions had no political signiEcance. The negotia-
tions were, therefore, conducted solely on a commercial
basis. And the result has been the nomination of a mixed
commis.4on, the business of which will be to arrange the
details of an extensive international railway service.
" This proposition was made by Belgium as an equivalent
for the original lease project." The affair may no-,v be
regarded as disposed of,

THE WAR IN PARAGUAY.

The scanty news from Paraguay elms that warlike
operations are still going on ; but it appears unlikely that
the contest will result in much more fighting. Lopez,
however, bad accumulated a force of some kind and was
within reach of the Allies, who were preparing to attack

him. It was expected that his position in the mountains
would be reached early in April. It is satisfactory to
learn that the navigation of the great rivers of the hostile
region, the Paraguay and the Pvrana, is thoroughly free.
Thus the evil effects of the war on commerce are disap•

THE A THLONE MURDER.

The Tianesi)ublin correspondent furnishes some further
details of the murder of Captain Tarleton, near Athlone.
The affair, like nearly all the murders recently reported in
this country, is (he says) shrouded in mystery. The
victim is a Captain Rowland Tarleton, of Creggan House,
about two miles from Athlone. He farmed his own estate,
about ninety acres, had no tenants whatever, and is said
to have been well liked by his neighbours. It appears
that on Wednesday afternoon, about one o'clock,
he proceeded to a part of his farm_to direct the opera-
tiona of some of his labourers. After remaining
with them for some time he told them to go to dinner,
which they did, he himself proceeding towards a
bog in the vicinity, where a labourer, named Mullaney,
was occupied. Captain Tarleton left after a few minutes,
and so far as is known was never again seen alive, except
by his assassin. his Lied( ss body was found three hours
later in a " boreexi " not far from his own residence. He
had been shot through the in ad. The eyes are described
as having presented the appearance of an undistin-
guishable mass of pulp, and the features were totally
destroyed by the storm of shot which had been poured
into them. A revolver, which he had been in the habit of
carrying for some time back, was found on his person, as
was also a sum of money in silver. The spot had been
well chosen by the assassin. Within a few yards of where
Captain Tarleton fell was a stone wall, coming to an
angle. Stones had been placed on the wall so as to afford
an ambush, and so as, while protecting the assassin
from observation, to give him a full view of Captain
Tarleton, who, it is known was in the habit of passing
the spot daily. The constabulary were immediately
on the alert, but no clue to the perpetrator of the
murder could be discovered. No one will confess to
having heard a shot fired. The police, however,
arrested Thomas Hickey, John Burns, John Dutton,
Michael Dowd, Patrick Burns, and William Burns.
At a later hour, two men, advanced in years, and each
named Burns, were also arrested on suspicion of being
implicated in the affair, but they were soon afterwards
discharged, the authorities thinking there was no reason
to detain them in custody. Four other men were subse-
quently arrested. An inquest has been held, but no addi-
tional light was thrown on the occurrence. The 'only
known possible motive for the crime is that Captain
Tarleton had about six months ago dismissed a herdsman
named Burns. He had since received several threatening
letters. Deceased was an unmarried man, 35 years of age.
His mother and sister resided with him.
