MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

(From the Anglo-American Times.)
Instances of great events springing from small
causes are constantly occurring. The Foreign-
Office put the letter of a despotic African savage
into a pigeon-hole, and forgot all about it—hence
one of the most expensive expeditions in which
England has been engaged, with what result—no
one knows. The Johanna men, who abandoned
Livingstone, thought it a small matter to fabricate
a lie in excuse. The tale they told of his
death spread indignation and sorrow through
Christendom, and led to an expensive expe-
dition to trace out his fate. People express sur-
prise that they should have had the impudence to
send to Zanzibar for their wages. If such impudent
people did not send for their wages surprise might
really have been felt. Sir Samuel Baker must
" shut np" as an African prophet, and Sir Roderick
Murchison be pushed up a niche or two in the
Temple of Fame. But Livingstone himself when
he returns will be the great African lion ; and if he
arrives about the same time as the Abyssinian expe-
dition gets back, the kingdom will be overrun with
these roaring beasts. We hope that, as in Bom-
bastes Furioso, " the first lion" will not " think the
last a bore." _ _ _

On the 25th March the President sent to the
Senate the Veto of the Bill to amend the Judiciary
Act. Message is temperate, but it

dtnoMerfiejcoth Johnson's Message
the House or in the Senate.
The Senate passed the Bill over the Veto by 32
to 9, and the House by 112 to 32. Mr. Johnson
thus alludes in the Message to the Supreme Court :
The Supreme Court of the United States has
been viewed by the people as the true expounder of
the Constitution, and in the most violent party
conflicts its judgments and decrees have always
been sought and deferred to with confidence and
respect in public estimation. It combines judicial
wisdom and impartiality in a greater degree than
any other authority known to the Constitution ;
and any act which may be construed into or mis-
taken fsno

Mr. Jeremiah Black has withdrawn from the
defence of the President. If report be true, he
endeavoured to improve the occasion by using the
President as a tool for carrying oat another object.
He had been employed by an American gentleman
named Jerry, who claims the guano island, Alta
Vela, in the Gulf of Mexico, although the claim is
not allowed by the Dominican Government. On as-
suming possession he was expelled by that Govern-
ment, and another American took his place, while
he sought Mr. Black's aid to recover the pro-
perty. When Mr. Black was requested by the
President to act as one of his counsel he proposed
that a vessel should bo despatched to reinstate his
client in Alta Vela. This the President refused to
do, and Mr. Black withdrew in dudgeon. Apropos
of this style of bullying, we may state that the Hon.
Ben Wade is beginning already to taste the sweets of
power. The mercenary ganghave fastened on him,
and his life is being made a burden to him.
Mr. Frederick Hall has published his book. He
was one of the counsel for Maximilian at Queretaro,
and he throws a good deal of light on the circum-
stances that occurred. The Mexican Judiciary
Courts have now decided that the law was uncon-
stitutional under which the Prince was executed.
General Lopez, who betrayed him, is in prison in
Mexico.

The Cincinnati Inquirer has made a grand dis-
covery! the last good thing of an afterthought. It
holds that if President Johnson should be deposed
from the Presidency, he, would revert to the office
to which he was elected, the Vice-Presidency, and
the Presidency being vacant, ho would again suc-
ceed to the superior office. 01 caurse Congress
would collar and impeach him wiun he again
emerged as President, and so the ball might be kept
rolling in this profitable little game.
The cash in the 'Treasury on the Ist inst., ac-
cording to the telegram dated Washington, April
6, was $122,500,000 against $128,000,000 on the
Ist A1ar,1,41, being a decrease of $5,500,0)). This
was balanced by a decrease of $6,003,000 in the
total amount of indebtedness, which was on the
Ist April $2,642,000 against $2,618,000 on the Ist
March last, leaving the gain to the United States
of half a million during the month.

The only telegram not elsewhere noticed is the
following from New York on the 4th instant :
" According to Messrs. Neill's report, the week's
receipts of cotton at all ports are 37,000 bales ;
since Ist September, 1,912,000. Week's exports to
Groat Britain, 37,000 bales ; since Ist September,

961,000. Week's exports to France, 5,000 bales ;
since Ist September, 186,000. Exports to other
Continental ports, 8,000 bales; since Ist Septem-
ber, 209,000_ Total foreign exports for the week,
50,000 bales ; since Ist September, 1,256,000.

ports, 300,000 bales. The steamers leaving to-day

Joseph Ha we, M.P., William Annand, President
of the Executive Council, J. C. Troop, and H. W.
Smith—the last two being members of the
Parliament of Nova Scotia, have issued a cir-
cular, stating the effect of incorporating Nova
Scotia in the New Dominion, for the information
of the Governrmat, Parliament, and people of Eng-
land. These gentlemen are delegated from Nova
Scotia, charged with an address to the Crown and
a petition to Parliament, from the Legislative As-
sembly of that Province. They assert th t the six
delegates who came to England last year from
Nova Scotia misrepresentel the public sentiment,
and grossly deceive I the Imperial Parliament.
Only three ventured to appal to the people at the
late election ; one was be iteu by au overwhelming
majority, another polled 400 votes out of 1,500, and
the third—th' late leader of the Governor .nt of
Nova Scotia—was returned with a smell majority
at a ruinous cost; under protest for bribery and
corruption, and was compelled to go to Ottawa
without a single follower elected in favour of con-
federation. The result of the elections was the
return of 18 members for the general Parliament
opposed to confederation, and but one in its favour;
and for the local I,3gislature 36 against confedera-
tion and but two in its favour. The actual legisla-
tion at Ottawa was even more hostile to their interest
than they anticipated. The duties were increased from
10 to 15 per cent., the Canadian breadstuffs were
protected against those of the United States largely
consumed in the maritime provinces ; stamp and
newspaper taxes were imposed, though before un-
known in the province, as well as the Bank circu-
lation, which raised the rate of discount from 6 to
7 per cent. From the tone of the petition to Par-
I liament the Bluenoses are very angry indeed at
I being handed over to the tender mercies of the new
Dominion, which they name with an evident sneer,
! and if our information be right, they are agitating
for absorption into the United States ; indeed, a
paper has been started called the Bluenose to advo-
cate annexation. If they must lose the full free-
dom they before enjoyed, it is evident that they
I prefer the United States to Canada.

- The result of the elections in Connecticut will
be a considerable damper to the rejoicing of the
Republican party over their New Hampshire
triumph. The Democrats carried the State by an
increased majority. Last year they polled 47,575
votes against 46,588 Republicans, winning the State
by a majority of 987 in a total poll of 91,163. The
Republicans, elated by the New Hampshire triumph,
and convinced that nothing is so successful as suc-
cess, fully expected this year to turn the tables.
Immense hnportance, too, is attached to these elec-
tio'ns as indicative of how the nation will speak next
November.

The Judges of the Supreme Court have decided
not to pronounce a judgment on the M'Ardle case
by a vote 'of six to two, until the jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court in cases arising from the Recon-
struction Acts has been settled, which is now the
case by the bill being passed over the President's
veto. The opinions of the Judges differed as to
whether the bill abolished the jurisdiction of the
Court in the M'Ardle case then before it. But
the vote shows that the majority of the Court con-
siders that it does, and it manifests the wish of the
Judges to avoid a collision with Congress.
The obstreperous character of the present Con-
gress is shown in their refusal of the appropriation
for the payment fcr Russian America to which we
alluded last week. Mr. Seward has in vain exerted
all his influence to induce the House Committee on
Foreign Affairs to reconsider its action, and a de-
legation in the interest of the Russian Minister
has also unsuccessfully urged a reconstruction on
the committee. That body but reflects the opi-
nion of the House, which desires to control the
treaty-making power in common with everything
else. Whether the United States will retire from.
the Icebergs, and Alaska ag:tin revert into cold
bleak Russian America or not, Ministers of State,
Presidents, and Senates, will have received a lesson
which will make them cautious how they enter into
treaties involving money, without first securing
the sanction of the Ilouse. But we trust for the
honour of the United States that the bargain will
be concluded by the payment of the money in
May.

The New York Tribune has published the follow-
ing telegram from Washington, which, if true, and
Mrs. Bond be appointed, will tend to complicate
the Senate's Court-dress regulations. We would
recommend them to discuss the subject with modistes
before they presume to legislate in the matter :
Mrs. Frances Lord Bond is the name of a woman
who aspires to represent the United States Govern-
ment at the Court of St. James's. She has been
trying to persuade the President to appoint her for
months past, and notwithstanding she is recom-
mended for the place by numerous members of Con-
gress, without distinction of party, she has failed to
get the appointment. She has recently obtained
from Vice-President Wade a letter strongly urging
her claims for the coveted position. She is now
working assiduously for the rejection of General
M'Clellan, and should she succeed she supposes
that the President will appoint her for the reason
that she is the only person that the Senate will
confirm."

The arrival of the Bremen steamship Baltimore,
which was telegraphed off North Point on the 23d
March, has furnished the citizens of the capitol of
Maryland with a delightful sensation. Every one
hurried on board, and Captain William Voeckler
and his officers became the fashion. The 26th was
a grand day at Baltimore, business was suspended,
and flags everywhere unfurled, and beneath the
fluttering bunting a procession more than three
miles long moved through the city to do honour to
the occasion. At its head was the Governor of
Maryland, and 7,000 Maryland troops were there.
But those most eagerly welcomed were the officers
and crew of the new steamer, who walked in the
line amidst enthusiastic greeting. Never was the
utility of a steam line more publicly recognized,
and if but a portion of the success anticipated be
realized, the North German Lloyd's Company will
have no reason to regret having thus met the wishes
of Maryland and Virginia. The Baltimore will be
the next steamer, touching at Southampton, May 4,
on her way from Bremen to Baltimore.
The sayings of the Hon. Ben Wade are now con-
sidered so important that correspondents dog his
footsteps to pick up the pearls that drop from his
lips. This is the last jewel from that scurce :--
" Now they talk of taxing these bonds (the Five-
twenties). W hen a man talks that way, look him
in the face, and you look in the face of a peniten-
tiary bird. I would not trust such a man as that in
my sheep-pasture after dark. None but a Demo-
cratic demagogue would have the face to propose
such a thing."
There is a rush from the Eastern States for Cali-
fornia. In Springfield, Massachusetts, Mr. Ryan,
agent of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, sold
81 tickets last month ; and Mr. Smith, agent of the
rival line, sold 75. The strcng tide of emigration
is not among the ignorant and those who know •
nothing of the land to whic:l they are flying, for
two-fifths of that number hail been in California.
Simultaneously with this movement West there is a
rush from California to the new mines in llacotah.
The Californians seem again to In smitten with the
mining fever, awl the uewsptpers rais a warning
voice, as some of the, citizens appezr iucline.l to
hurry out into the ctld before winter even has

broken to be early at the mines.
The increase in the ti:h of Gcrinan emigration
to A►nerica is visible to thc 11133 t casual observer.
Several thousanls last week passed through Berlin

to embark at Bremen. The number this year is
much greater than during the last, and continues
steadily to rise. The fine lines of steamers now
running direct has given an impetus to the exodus,
and the new line just opened to Baltimore will
throw into Maryland a number of able and willing
hands, where they will be warmly welcomed. While
the Irish emigration is decreasing, that of Germany

is growing so large as to threaten to Germanize
North America, where there are already six millions
of the Teutonic race ; and if the treaty just con-
cluded be loyally carried out on the part of the
Prussian Government it will have a good effect
both in relieving the North German Confederation
of some of her surplus labour, and of filling up a
few of the fertile uncultivated tracts of the United
States. A strong tide of this emigration is setting
south, and already crowds are passing through
Washington.

The New York Union League Club has just held
the last meeting in the old Club Ilouse in Union-
square, previous to its removal to its grand new
quarters on Maddison Avenue, corner of Twenty-
sixth-street. The apartments were crowded, and
the llon. John Jay, President of the club, addressed
the meeting. He reviewed with pride the record
of the institution, which has associated itself so in-
titnately with the great Northern triumph ; and he
concluded one of the finest addresses ever delivered
by the eloquent speaker amid tumultuous applause
in these words :—" Let us rather trust and believe
that the memories we rnty leave behind us may serve
to animate to new dnrotion, and more perfect con-
fidence in our institutions, those who shall succeed
us, and our confidence in the Republic can hardly
be deemed presumptuous when a statesman like Mr.
Gladstone writes to our associate, Mr. Cyrus Field:
—‘ Looking to your past, there is nothing
which we may not hope of your future.'"
Somebody abstracted Colonel Frank Howe's care-
fully -prepared speech, and in this helpless state
he was loudly called for. In the emergency
he bethought him of presenting the Anderson Glee
Club, and escaped under this cover to reappear
later in the evening with " the carefully-prepared
speech," which occupied a minute and a half in
delivery. Horace Greeley, with whom a coolness
had for some time existed, came forward on this
occasion to pay a high and well-deserved compli-
ment to the Union League, which he asserted to be
one of the two truly- patriotic clubs. It is not only
" one," but the leading one, and we believe it is
destined to be more than the leading club of
America ; that is, of the world.

In alluding to the Report of the Secretary of the
Navy to the [louse of Representatives on the cost
of the cruise of the llfiantonontah, the Springfield
Republican tells this story :—" Two years ago Mr.
Gladstone, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pre-
sented his budget to the House of Commons, in
which was an item of forty pounds odd, to reim-
burse the captain of one of her Majesty's ships of
war for conveying the younger son of Earl Russell,
Premier of the kingdom, to the Pird3us. This bill
was actually sent in by the captain, approved
by the department, and included in the estimate for
the fiscal year. The singularity of the pro-
ceeding is heightened by the fact that the
Russells are immensely wealthy, and on that very
year whole streets and sections of land in the
heart of London, which had been leased for 99
years, were falling back into the hands of the family
with the shops and houses erected on them." The pa-
per goes on to state that the appropriation was made
Parliament, for the English have too good taste to
cavil, but not without significant notice. Now know-
ing nothing of the circumstances, we feel confident
that Lord Russell's son must have been ordered
as an officer of the Government to proceed to the
post, otherwise no such charge would have been
allowed or could have been made by Earl Russell.
The captain gets a certain allowance for entertain-
ing at his own table any Government officer, whom
the exigencies of the service require to be conveyed
in a man-of-war, and whose rank is so high as to
warrant his messing at the captain's table. If the
captain took him as a guest no charge could be
made, even if the commander was dishonest enough
to attempt it. If the passenger went as a friend of
the captain there are no means by which he could
have saddled his expenses on the public revenue.
He could only go as a Government officer ordered
to the post, and why his expenses should not then
be paid by the country, whether he be the son of
Earl Russell, of the Queen, or of a dairymaid, we
fail to perceive. It is a mere matter of routine, not
of sentiment or of wealth. There is no man in Eng-
land, in an official position, who would attempt
to sadlic his private expenses on the country. The
land belonging to the family might make a very
wealthy man of the Duke of Bedford, the head of
the house, yet leave Lord Russell a younger son
and his family very poor. We know nothing about
his lordship's means, but the heart of London, Rus-
sell-square, Bedford-square, and all that great sec-
tion around the British Museum, might swell
the rent-roll of the Duke, while one of his
younger brothers might be living in a garret. The
Republican advocates a moderate appropriation to
pay the expenses which fell upon the officers of the
Miantonomah, who were compelled to dispense a
generous hospitality in their ship, and to bear the
whole burden during their European cruise. Allud-
ing to the above instance, it prefers the American
method of the two. Now, the English system is to
saddle upon the officers the entire expense of such
entertainment. All commanding officers receive
from the country an allowance to meet such charges,
but wherever it is the misfortune of regiments or of
ships to be compelled for the honour of their, coun-
try to entertain liberally, the expenses fall on the
body of the officers, who have to bear the outlay
generally without reference to their rank. Of the
two the public purse in America is more likely to
be saddled with the expense than that of England.

A correspondent from New York alleges that we
confounded the New York Citizen with the Irish
Citizen, started by Mr. John Mitchell some six
months ago, on his return from France. It was
not our mistake, but that of the English papers,
in commenting on the letters written by Mr. Mit-
chell to Mr. Martin, which appeared in the New
York Irish Citizen. It was there asserted that the
letters had been published in the New York Citizen,
and we naturally turned to files of that paper, sur-
prised that such letters had escaped our notice. At
the moment we had forgotten a fact, announced
some months before by the Citizen, that Mr. Mit-
chell had just started the new paper. We have to
thank our correspondent for forwarding to us the
letters in question. Mr. Mitchell predicted that
they would make for him many enemies, especially
among the paid organizers, a prophecy which we
venture to say has been fulfilled ; yet he will find that
truth prevails, and that the honesty of his inten-
tions when better understood will counterbalance
any injury to him that may accrue.
Mr. George Bemis, of Boston, has taken up the
challenge of " Ilistoricus," to whom he replies in
the columns of the New York Times. He states
that on examining the Blue-book containing the
correspondence relating to the blockade, he finds
that Lord Lyons' despatch, enclosing printed copies
of the President's Proclamation, is dated April 27,
and is marked officially, Received May 14. 64 His_
toricus" asserted that a copy of the President's Pro-
clamation was received in London on May 3d ; while
the Proclamation of Neutrality was only issued on
the 13th May. Mr. Bemis declares the copy did not
arrive in London on the 3d May, but that a mere
compilation framed on rumour, and in many impor-
tant particulars grossly inaccurate, was published
in the Times on that date. '6 Historicus,"
we presume, has been so busy settling the allowance
upon the Countess d'Alteyrac—having been ap-
pointed arbitrator in the case by the Lord Chief
Justice—that he has no time to attend to any reply
to his own attacks. He has laid down the law, and
being, like the Pope, infallible, that is enough for the
cii polloi he has addressed. Some have insolently
asserted that the whole theory of his international
law is erroneous and his conclusions worthless.
Some have pointed out that if he directly contra-
dicted himself in fewer instances than Mr. Seward,
it Tas only because he wrote less, the proportion
being about equal considering quantity. Perhaps
he !nay deign to come down from his high horse
and notice the crawling little things around him.
It appears that it was Senator Sumner himself
who led in the crusade which resulted in the pro-
hibition of American Representatives appearing
in court dress before sovereigns. It would be a
fitting punishment if nominated to St. James's,
where he will have to face the position he has him-
self created. An evening party at the White
House, where the President has to go through the
" pumpephandle" process, differs widely in cere-

monial from Buckingham Palace, and Mr. Sumner
will realize the wisdom of the advice when there to
do in Rome as the Romans do. We recollect that
during the debate a witty Senator suggested that
the proper attire should be referred to the President,
from whom the best opinion could be extracted
considering the nature of his early training.
The libel suits against Moses S. Beach of the
New York Sun and Edwin L. Godkin of the Nation went
in favour of the defendants. The. very costly and unsatis•
factory decision to the plaintiffs was given on the 18th
March. The case against Mr. Godkin arose from solve
sharp criticisms on the act of a conductor upon a Nes!
Jersey railroad, who hurried Professor Dwight, an eminent
citizen, from the cars while in motion, whereby he Nvig
killed ; yet the conductor did not stop :the train, nor le',
the daughter of the Professor 'get out. The aggrieved
conductor commenced a suit against the Nation, and the
learned judge actually charged the jury that the otilf
questions for them were "as to the identity of the defer
dant" and " the amount of damages." The jury threw Iha
wise judge overboard, who, like Shakespeare's magiStrate
might well write himself down an ass, and at once found
for the defendalt. About Mr. Godkin's identity there 1'
never been a question ; ho was the editor, and he was re;
sponsible ; but there was in truth as little question abut
the real point; the justice of his remarks, which. veil
simply a duty he owed the public.

Aews from Hongkong of the 2Gth February, per
Cltina Hail, states :—" The United States Consul at Fo°-

that the export duty on tea costing Tis. 15 per plait aid

and the Customs authorities are without advices on the

The Boston Journal thus goes around the Con'
gressional districts of the State :—" In the first district+
Thomas D. Eliot can undoubtedly receive the nomination
if he so elects, but should he withdraw, Mr. Davis, of VI;
mouth, will be pressed. In th 3 second district, Osfr
Ames proposes to accept a renomination, which will be
heartily tendered. In the third district, it is understood
that Ginery Twichell will decline, and William Whiting
and Edward Atkinson are suggested as gentlemen qualifiei
to represent the district. In the fourth district, Sams
Hooper will no doubt be renominated. In the fifth clistric".
Gen. Butler will be on the track, and in the sixth distrif:
Gen. Banks will receive a hearty support. In the woo':
district there will be no opposition from his own party t;
George S. Boutwell. In the eighth district it is said the
F. W. Bird will be nominated, John D. Baldwin retiring
after honourable service. In the ninth district William
Washburn is very popular. In the tenth district it is 01,
Henry 1,. Dawes will decline a renomination, and •
Gillett is suggested. The friends of George
Curtis would be happy to have him claim his country t°-
sideuce as his permanent home and enter the lists frog
that district as a candidate for Congress."
